Yhe Middle West ID Politics.


The middle west--the region between the
Allegbanies and the Rockies, and stretching
from the Ohio River and the southern
boundaries OF Missouri, Kansas and Colora-
do to the Canadian line--has become in
recent years the dominant section Of the
country, and its sscendancy is further en-
phasized by the advance of Governor Shaw
to the control of the financial arm of the
government. All the Republican party's
elected residents-Lincoln, Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Harrison and Mckinley y--have
come from the middle west: Its principal
military commanders in the civil war
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan--were also
from this section. Moreover, the trans
Mississippi part of this great physiographic
division Of the country Is coming more and
more to the front, as the case of Iowa shows.
The Democrats in the past two presiden.
tial elections selected their presidential
candidates from this section Henderson
is the first speaker of the House from the
trans. Mississippi country. Shaw is the first
head Of the treasury from state wholly
west Of the great river, for part Of Win
dom's state, Minnesota, is east tf this
waterway. The west is now the predomin-
ant partner in the Union, and the regicn
known as the middle west gives the law to
the entire locality on the sunset side Of the
Alleghanies.

Our Responsibility Ii Cuba


The view of the obligation Of Office thai
prevails in most Latin American commun.
tiles is Totally foreign to the Anglo Saxon
understanding, and we are Arglo-Saxons
experimenting the launching Of new
Latin American government. For that
government we must be for long time
responsible. We stand before the world as
its sponsor. We cannot evade our respons
Utilities If we woald. We are responsible
for law and order in Cuba, not only by our
position with regard to the island but in
consideration of our having exacted from
tue Cubans a pledge that their foreign rela-
tions shall be under our supervision. 1t ia
ne use to beat about the bush. The United
States will be, willy.nilly, in effect the
s.euzerain" of the Cuban Republic. This
fact, for fact, it may shortly be proved to be
makes il peculiarly unfortunate that the
promise of the coming election is that its
result will be accepted by large element
Of tha Cuban people only with a sullen
protest, as having been dictated by the
United States. The indications are thai
nothing will be done in the way OF liberalis-
ing our commercial relations with Cuba
urtil the Cuban Republic is established and
able to 60 through the motions Of negotiat-
ing.

Intervention h 1898.


1t does not follow, that but for the
action Of Great Britain, or of Russia for
that matter, otEer Europesn countries would
have undertaken to intervene in tho
little nupleasantness between the United
States and Spain. That some of those ma

the United States is veil understood. MosI
Of them are now looking with disfavor on
the doings Of Great Britain in South Africa,
but none has felt impelled to intervene,
Intervention in our quarrel would have
been q serious matter which no country

more serious affront to the people thar
to insist that neither Admiral Dewey MOI

of King Edward. Nothing could be more
unbecoming than such an act Of prescription

and certainly on the right OF free thought.
