As MIGHT have been expected, there
is friction between the United States
and Cuba. The Cubans, it will be re-
membered, struck snag when the
Platt amendment was forced upon them
at the time they were about to launch as
an Independent people. They were
10th to submit TO apron strings held by
the United States. They are as averse
TO the treaty stipulations now as ever,
and are manifesting their repugnance
by showing no disposition to carry out
its terms. The United States, anxious
to build forts and construct coaling sta
tons, is prodding Cuba, but the Palma
government, true to its Spanish in
stincts, while not exclaiming "manana,
is procrastinating. This country, which
never had the remotest idea of letting
Cuba get away from it, is becoming
positive in It's claims, and in a very
short time the stations demanded will
be granted or taken nolensvolens. There
is said to be a large percentage of the in
habitants of Cuba vino are averse to the
Palma government and who desire the
United States to incorporate the island
and make it State of the American
union Some of them may yet live to
see their dreams realized.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 80, 1902

ALL THE church people OF Topeka,
Kansas. will tonight endeavor to move
the Deity to take an interest IN the
approaching election for city officers.
They are anxious to see the defeat OF
all the republican candidates, supposing
in such an event that all the saloons III
Topeka will disappear with the van
quished. The movement is led by Rev.
Charles NJ. Sheldon, author of the book,
"In His Steps" That republicans
should be endorsed on general principles
is believed by many hereabouts, but
that the saloon will disappear with
change in thepolitical complexion of the
rulers of any city is the veriest bosh.
We have neither the time nor inclination
to read the book written by the reverend
gentleman who is leading this crusade,
but if it contains anything which tends
to show that the Being of whom he
writes would interest Himself in such
an issue. this of itself would be sufficient
to cause all who understand the
Messianic mission to question it. 1t Is
a significant fact that while Nero (the
chief of fierce potentates) was at the
head of the Roman empire the author OF
the Epistle to the Romans enjoined upon
Christians the duty of obeying the
powers that be. There are no heroes
in our day. Conditions are much better
now than when this despot swayed the
sceptre, and the less preachers and other
good but misguided people mix with
political commissions the better. Schem-
ing political tricksters are ever on the
alert to mount hobbies constructed by
inexperienced and impractical people
who know nothing of political economy,
and when new set of officials assume
the reins of government it takes but a
short time to prove that no material
change in former conditions has resulted.
The church is one thing, the state
another. The experience of nearly six
thousand years is proof conclusive that
each should keep in its own channel.
