CUBA LIBRE.

The election of Senior Thomas Es-
trada Palma as first president of the
Cuban republic is an event of good
omen to the people of the island
President Palma was the representa-
tive in this country of CUBA Libre"
while his friend, Gen. Maxine Go.
mez, was struggling to throw off the
Spanish yoke. He was Gomez S
choice for the presidency. He has
lived long in the United States, I'M
derstands its civil institutions and it's
people, likes the Americans, and con-
fides in them. He will cultivate ami
cable relations with Cuba's friend and
deliverer, this great republic. He is
apart from the obstreperous, revolu-
tionary element in the island. In his
election the United States govern
ment has an assurance that the agree
ments and understandings, tacit or ex-
pressed, with the Cuban convention
will be faithfully carried out.
In framing its government, Cuba has
been wisely amenable to advice and
suggestion from the United States,
even when these have taken the form
OF stiff insistence. The work of con-
structing a constitution, embodying
the principles of republican govern
ment, with the eccentricities or crudi-
ties of people unused to self govern
ment carefully weeded out under the
guidance of wise and resolute tutor.
has been followed by peaceful cleo
ton and the choice of the man best
able to guide the ship of state through
the dangers which surround it at the
beginning of its voyage.
Material prosperity is the corner
stone of the new republic, under it's
constitution. The United States, at
great cost, has delivered Cuba out of
the hand of its oppressor 1t has
been its defender against dangers from
within, its preceptor in the study and
practice of civil government. All
will fail if there is not occupation for
its inhabitants and prosperity for it's
agriculture. This assurance of sue
cess and stability 1t is i'll the power of
the United States to give it's protege
1t is its duty to give the pledge by an
arrangement for an exchange of prod
ucts that shall make Cuban agricul-
ture remunerative, while at the same
time opening in Cuba market for
such small products of the United
States as the people of Cuba require
Tor their support and the development
of their natural resources. A consti
tuition adopted, president elected,
a government organized and in opera
ton, the establishing of trade rela-
tions, the arrangement of the details
OF commercial and diplomatic irCer-
course are the next important steps
to be taken. So many difficulties have
been surmounted SUCCESSFULLY, Others
still to come will unquestionably be
overidden with equal success and ac-
ceptance

of many sacrifices and hardships, the

In private letter from Newly ork
to the editor of the Journal the writ
er says: Mr.. Z. w. Wood is doing
a portrait of Capt. Clark, which l
have no doubt his friends in Vermont
will see later, and 1 can tell you now
that it is good one. The sculptor, j.
E. Kellogg, is doing a bas-relief in
bronze of the Captain. The former
will probably be placed here in New
York the latter, 1 understand, is to
go to the Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis. l do not think Vermont could
honor herself more than to have a
statue of Capt. Clark in bronze placed
in the yard of the State House. One
of these days people will wake up to
the fact that Clark was as much the
hero of Santiago as was Dewey of
Manila. F" The Journal has always
maintained that Captain Clark was

After long months of WEAKNESS and

W. Moore, entered into rest ON Thurs
day, December 10. She was sixty-four
years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have
been residents of Orange, Cal, for many
years. Their three children all died in
their young manhood or womanhood with
consumption. These few words involve
so much of sorrow and explain Mrs.
Moores failing health, and the depression
from which she suffered during the last
years of her life. Though herself so sad
she had strong desire to help others and
until her strength entirely failed had
many plans for giving aid and encourage
ment where they were needed. She was
a woman of refined tastes, lover of the

Rumor of a change in the office of
secretary of the navy connects the
name Of Gov. Allen, late of Porto
Rico, now of Lowell, Mass, with the
succession to Secretary Long. Any
thing but another Massachusetts, man
in that office. Allen was assistant
secretary of the navy prior to his ap-
pointment to the governorship of Porto
Rico, and is probably inoculated with
he effeminacy or dilettantism that
has characterized Longs administra-
ton of the department. Fortunately
for the country, one Theodore Roose-
welt was assistant secretary when war
with Spain was impending He be-
lievd in preparedness for a coming
contest, and put all his splendid en-
ergy and administrative capacity into
the work of having the navy ready for
business. Long took the opposite
view of the situation. 1t is evidence
at once of the strength of Roosevelt S
personality and the weakness of
Longs, that his subordinate triumph
ed, and the largest possible prepare
ton, while war was yet a possibility,
was made for its coming Had Roose-
welt, or some man of his stalwart
characteristics, been secretary of the
navy, the chickering's and scandals in
the matter of the appointment of the
rewards and honors of the West Indian
campaign could hardly have come to
dim events in which there was "glory
enough for ALL" had it been justly
distributed to the deserving according
to their mead of merit. If Allen is
built after the Long specifications and
dimensions, pray Heaven that Presi-
dent Roosevelt does not appoint him.
