JUSTICE TO CUBA.

When the Uuited States, tax.
ing cognizance of the oppression
of Cuba by Spain. be came the
liberator of the island. il assumed
a responsibility that cannot be
shirked. The bill of Represents
tative NewIands, of Nevada,
looking to the admission of Cupa
to the U Uoion as territory, with
the fiual granting Of statehood
rights, may be premature. Cuba
is not ready for annex alton yet,
although the sentiment is grow
ing there. Having acted the
knightly role and rescued the is
land from a hatefu! lord, it would
be unbecoming in this country 20
force a oIstasteful union. The
manifest destiny of the island.
however, is annexation. In no
other way can peace, prosperity,
stability of institutions and frees
dom of speech and rnligion be
secured. In no other way can the
vexing tariff questions be settled.
In no other way can Cuba res
ceive full dividends from her re-
sources. The United States in
the meanwhile must remain the
guardian of Cuba.
1t would be a national shame
to free Cuba from political ops
preston only to cast her into
commercial servitude. The ma
tional love of justice and the ma
tional spirit of generosity alike
rebel against such iniquitous treat
ment. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root have expressed in
plain language the duty of the
United States. Congress must
b ac or tn, paople will make them
| htar.
] he guardianship v lunt arily
assumed by this government re-
quires that Cuha eh al be protect
I'd from enemies wi b ut and
within; from the po i,ical free
booter and commercial plunderer,
from those who would impose be-
cause of her weakness or oppress
because of her helpJeness.
Tue nations honor il in pledge
and Congress must redeem it.

Whereas, God in His infinite
wisdom has seen f. to remove
from our midst our friend and
comrade William Webber, and
while we bow in humble submis-
sion to Him who doeth all things

death of our comade, who was a
splendid soldier and possessing an
excellent mural character, cordial
and lovable, willing at all times to
obey his superior officers, and was
faithful and true to every duty
imposed.
That we extend to the family
of our deceas d comraie our sin-
cere aud heartfelt sympathy in
the irfapsrab g loss 'ustalned in

Especial to The ARGUS.

New York, Feb. 8 AS it Is
impossible for me to reply indi-
vidually and as fully as should
like to the very large number OF
telegraphic inquiries [ an re-
ceiving in regard to the cotton
situation. take this method of
advising my friends of the facts;
the weekly figures made up tos
day disclose a position of excep-
tlonal strength, AMI point to
much higher prices in the i'm
mediate future.
The worlds visible supply of
American cotton shows a de-
crease for the week of 145, 900
bales and is now only 18, 900
bales greater than two years
age, when cotton went to ten
aud eleven cents per pound, ard
was practically unobtalnable at
the end of the seasoa. Ot this
visible supply there is in Amer
ica at the ports and interior
towns. 10000 bales less than
last year and 100000 bales less
than in the mem 1rable bull year
of 1900.
The quantity Of cotton hrough ht
into signt for the week is only
10000 bales. which is the small
est on record for the corresp0nd-
ing week of any season in which
the crop exceeded 5000, 600
bales.
We have export t'd approx
mately 6.75o,ooO bales more than
we did lest year. Japan alone
having taken 115, 900 bales againt t
only 5000 last year. In every
direction the demand seems to be
expanding and the supply de-
cressing
The average weight OF bales
this year is 6 pounos lsss than
last year, which alone Is the
equivalent of reduction of 1907
900 bales in he supply. The cot.
ton trade of ,he world seems &c
be upon the ev1 of recogn ziog the
extraordinary situation and a very
sharp advance in the market ap-
pears imm nent. 1t is certain tC
come promp ~ if those VINO holc
the small remnant of this year,
crop decline.to sell at it's fac
value. It is worth, in view Of th'
situation to-day disclosed, certain.
" niue cents and will probably
command ten cents before the enc
Of the season.
It is only through very sharI
and immediate advance that al
absolute cotton famine In Americ'
can be averted.

A NEGRO GULLY"

Raises a Rucas a Sucas and is
Put i'm Jail.
A hurley negro who tried to
bull-doz9 the crowd on East
Centre street near the "Great
Eastern" on Monday afternoon
and who styled himself, as the
"South Carolina Bully" has
come to grief. In his carousal he
attracted the attention of Officer
Denmark, who accompanied the
negro to the city lock up. When
the officer reached che prison
door a little trouble occurred.
The negro refused to enter and
according to the officers testi-
mony, showed fight. Mr.. Den
mark struck the negro with his
club and then showed him into
the cell. The negro grabbed hold
of the door and jerked it. Mr..
Denmsrk's arm was caught be-
tween the iron door and the iron
railing, and he sustained pain
full fracture. After wounding the
officer the negro made another
break for liberty, but the officer
was too quick for him and caught
the lock in the staple in time to
hold the negro back. At the trial
next morning the negro was not
near so demonstrative in his de-
meanor and language as he was
Monday. He was charged with
resisting the officer besides the
charge Of disordsrly conduct and
sent to Jail because he could not
give a bond in the sum of 5000.
The name of the negro is John
Evans he claims to have come
from Wilson.
