CUBA AS A STATE.

It lis a great privilege to be part u
the United States, to be a member 81
s the federal union. Have you not thoushe
az This ~ you have listened to the I'M
nortunfties of Cubans for trade or other
concessions? 1t is the purpose o. our
government to grant Cuba freedom. II
dis the policy of the present adminlstra-
zion no cut loose from the island TO q
large extent when the time comes Ia
order to permit independent action. II
has been the dream of Cuban patriots,
their fighting purpose. their one aim, to
free themselves from the domination Of
Spain, and this desire has been kept IN
view by our nation. And yet 1t would
ne better for the island il it should be-
come an integral part of our nation 1t
would have FULL access to our markets.
1t would flourish commercially, 1t would
be guarded from foreign foes and do
mestic strife, 1t would eventually reach
the highest plane of citizenship. for II
ds the citizen and not the territory that
is to be developed. Many of our great
states are rich, powerful, and compe-
tent il it were possible for any one Of
them to be isolated from each other to
maintain a great nation; and yet not
one would choose to separate itself from
the union OF states, from the great re-
public. Some OF the Cubans are shrewd
enough to see how advantageous 1t
would be to become a part of the United
States Yet, when they stand alone, as
they will to some extent when our ma
ton withdraws, they will have some
advantage il they should tinidly knock
at the door OF the union for admission.
They can predicate their offer of the
island upon statehood, making admis-
sion to the sisterhood of state condi,
ton OF coming in. 1t would be novel
outcome of their Independence. and it
may follow IL it shall prove that inter-
!. nal strife and isolation prevent them
from sharing or securing all that Is de-
sirable in government.

of these she was very proud. She
seemed never tired of looking at her

with the aid of her long neck, she was
able to do so easily. Yesterday, how

WE NAY LEARN OF GERMANY.

Something was said on this page the
other day in regard to European stu
dents who are coming to America to
learn the lessons Of up-to-date indus
trial life in this country, thus admitting
our superiority in this particular de-
partment. Yet 1t should not be under
stood that all the lessons are to be
learned on this side. Indeed 1t would be
strange IL an older civilization could not
teach US many things. Count Won
Krockow declares that Germany beats
America in ttdiness, in cleanliness, in
orderliness and solidity of cities. towns
and villages: that it beats US, too, in
the cleanliness and solidity of every
kind of conveyance with the exception
of railway cars. He states that Ger
mans 24 cents fare street cars. be
they motors or horse cars are spotless;
SO are its IL cents fare cabs; so are It's
boats and ferries. &c. likewise, are it's
highways and byways. The police and
gems darmes amounted police enforce
cleanliness on all roads.
The count goes on to particularize
but enough has been given here to point
a moral and adorn a tale. 1t must be
confessed that there is great room for
Improvement In cleanliness in American
cities and towns, especially In western
centers The eastern section of the ma
tion, with its older settlement and
greater advance in many directions,
surpasses the west in tidiness.
Any one on the streets of Marshall
town saturday-and it is only a type Of
other western points-must have been
impressed with the need of cleanliness.
Scraps of paper. heaps of manure, piles
of dust and other offensive debris. were
scattered over the streets.
1t true 1t costs time and effort and
money to keep clean. but well directed
effort would make it profitable in the
end. A great many things go to waste

IN FAVOR OF PANAMA ROUTE.

The isthmian canal commission has
presented a supplemental report favor
ing the Panama route as one offering ad-
vantages superior to the Nicaragua
route IN view of the offer of sale at the
reduced price. s4O.OOO,0oo. This report
has been anticipated and merely con-
firms the view held by many The COM
mission went over the ground thorough
ly when 1t first investigated the matter,
made a searching inquiry of the merits
of both routes, and excluded the Pana-
ma in the first report wholly, because
OF the great price asked.
Notwithstanding this report, the SEN
ate will be justified in making COM
plete investigation of the respective ad-
yantages of each route. 1t could profit
ably call before it each member of this
commission and all others who have
knowledge of the isthmus to secure all
the information possible. 1t should as
certain for itself whether the Panama
company can deliver the unfinished ca
raj and its appurtenances with a good
title and free from all complications.
Then 1t should seek such concessions as
are needed, IL they do not already ex-
ist or have not been granted, from the
Colombian government. Otherwise our
government should not accept II.

would seem to be wise to chose the Pa

self is now unanimous in its latest opin-
ion that 1t is the most practicable and

labor of people supported by the public
is employed probably. and should be
SO used here. Public officers should be
authorized and supported in keeping
streets clean. In fact no orderly citi-
zen complains even if an officer goes a
little beyond the limit in this direction.
1t is great incentive to cleanliness of
private grounds. The towns and cities
of Iowa ought to make an effort from
this time forward to encourage public
and private cleanliness.
