desire annexation. There IS little ques-
ton about that Most Of them desired
continuation Of the Spanish rule.
But the common people were opposed
to Spanish rule, and they are opposed
to annexation. That they will fight It
is altogether probable, not only with
their tongues, but also with their guns.
So we would do well to go somewhat
slowly in the matter Of annexation
and not permit ourselves to be lured
on to the rocks by the siren song Of
the Hoosier senator Experience may
teach the bulk of the Cubans that they
cannot maintain an independent gov
eminent adyantageously and that it
will be to their interests in every way
for taeir island to become an integral
part of the United States, but until
they come to that conclusion we will
have nothing but trouble if we try to
annex them.

Acouiescence In the Verdict.

When Thomas Jefferson delivered his
first inaugural, which has become a
classic and which every boy and girl
in the Unitad States should commit to
memory as literary exercise, he enun-
ciated the Democratic creed. Among
other things which he declared for was
absolute acquiescence in the decision
of the majority, the vital principle Of
republics from which there is no APP
peal but to force, the vital principle
and immediate parent of despotism," a
grand sentiment most felicitously stat
ed. 1t has become one of the cardinal
principles of our people, just as JEFF
ferson asserted it to be. OF course the
Republicans stole the presidency from
Samuel J. Tilden. They have from
time to time stolen United States
senatorship. Two years ago they stole
the governorship of Colorado from
AIva Adams. But these are the excep-
tons which prove the rule sporadic
cases of political grand larceny which
the bulk OF the people in their sober
senses never indorse We sometimes

The Unexpected.

Hon. James w. Wadsworth of the
Genesee valley district in New York,
for eighteen years member of the
house and for several years chairman
of the agricultural committee, is now
in 4 frame of mind to ponder the old
French proverb, ut is frequently the
unexpected that happens" Surely his
defeat was unexpected. He is most
pleasant gentleman-rich, scholarly
and had a majority Of 5000 to start
on. His father was major general
in the Army Of the Potomac and was
killed in the Wilderness. The Wads-
worths are owners of large part Of
the Genesee valley, fertile as the val
ley of the Nile and beautiful to look
upon. Mr.. Wadsworth's son married
a daughter of Hon. John Hay, secre-
tary of state, and is the speaker of
the house of representatives in New
York, having been selected for that
place by President Roosevelt. II
seems that Mr.. Chairman Wadsworth
came to grief by reason Of what he did
do and did not do as to oleomargarine
and the bill regulating packing houses

Beveridee and Destiny.

For some years Senator Beveridge
of Indiana has been essaying the am
bilious role of major prophet If
he did not confine his ratiocinations
to different subjects, he would COM
pletely overshadow General Charles
Henry Grosyenor of Ohio, but the lat
ter confines his representations to
election returns. while the former deals
with the universe in general. The
Mohammedans had saying, .'There is
but one God, and Mohammed is his
prophet" Senator Beveridge believes
in destiny, and he aspires to interpret
It for our information and guidance,
but his foresight as prophet is not
half so good as his hind sight 1t will
be remembered that he wrote a series
of thrilling articles for the Saturday
Evening Post, entitled "The Russian
Advance" which he afterward pub
lished in book form at the beginning
of the Russo-Japanese war and no
doubt raked in many dollars of the
daddies thereby 1t will also be re-
membered that the Russians advanced
after the manner of the crab-back
ward. That was the most complete
kerfummix of major prophet in all
the hoary registers of time and would
have silenced almost anybody else but
Beveridge. But he is now busy telling
us what destiny proposes to do about
Cuba. He may publish book on the
subject, but If he does it will not be
extensively purchased by those who
bought 1.-THE Russian Advance" A
burned child breads the fire. A scald-
ed cat Is afraid of cold water. He in
terprets destiny in this case as Intend
ing that we shall annex Cuba imme-
diately If that is to be read by con-
traries, as was 1.-THE Russian Advance"
then we will never have Cuba. On ae-
count of it's close juxtaposition to US
it is desirable that we should have that
island. 1t was always desirable.
James Buchanan and the other au-
thors of the Ostend manifesto were
cursed by the Republicans of that day
through all the colors of the rainbow
for advocating precisely what the soul
full senator from Indiana advocates
now. Nevertheless, while most of US
would like to see Cuba a part of the
United States, we want to see annex
alton accomplished with the consent
of the Cubans. Otherwise annexation
would mean perpetual guerrilla war
fare, a sort of procedure in which
Spanish peoples have become adopts
through centuries Of practice. By that
method they drove Napoleon out OF
Spain when in the plenitude of his
power. BY that method the Central
and South American republics achieved
independence We certainly do not
want that kind of annexation for cen
turtles, perhaps for all time. We have
enough OF that on hand in the Philip
pines right now to last us a lifetime
unlesr we have sense enough to let
them loose, a sanity of which we seem
incapable. Whether the Cubans will
ever voluntarily come to us is prob
lem which no man at this time can
solve. The big property owners there

a Coincidence.

Wonder if there was any connection
betwixt the Democratic victory in
Missouri and the sudden resignation of
Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary
of the interior If not, it was a
strange coincidence, one which puzzles
the philosophers. Mr.. H. is to be sue
ceeded by Hon. James Rudolph Gar
field, who has been Connected with the
government by appointment for some
years. He seems to be favorite of
President Roosevelt and is said to be
an amiable and accomplished young
man, though it was generally conceded
that the beef packers bunkoed him into
making most preposterous report on
the subject of their profits. Prior to
that report prominent newspaper man
Of Washington told me confidential-
ly that President Roosevelt had Gar
field in training for the White House.

MccIeary's Defeat.

When General Robert E. Lee heard
that General .Stonewall'' Jackson was
dead, he said, Il have lost my right
hand.' The stand patters are in posi-
ton to make a similar remark in view
of the defeat of Hon. James I. Nc
Cleary of Minnesota. He never wayer-
ed in his faith that d high protective
tariff is the fount of every blessing
the higher the more blessings. In fact,
he was in favor of raising the Dingley
rates. He was certainly a whole hog
ger on the tariff. Others might yield a
little here and there AIcCleary would
not. Personally he is most delightful
man, indefatigable, clean, bright, schol-
arly. He is a gentleman in the best
sense of that much abused word He
stands fourth on the great committee
Of ways and means and was put on
that committee to hold the majority in
line for the stand patters, and he did
what he was put there to do. Before
he came to congress he was college
professor and is the author of several
books No doubt he will find plenty to
do and ample reward in literary work.
The Republicans in congress will miss
him sadly They will search long be-
fore they will find another man who
can array figures to bolster up the tar
iff in such way as McCleary did it.

The idol is twenty feet in height and

the unwieldly image is toppled into the

Such idoiatrous scense as this leaves
an unpleasant impression on the mind
of the spectator. The bleating goats

SANTA TERESA DEAD.

News comes from Clifton. Arizona,
of the death here a few days ago of
Santa Teresa, at the age of SO. She
was born on Yaqui River, being the
daughter of the alcalde of the town of
her nativity.
Possessed of unusual magnetic pow
ers, she studied herbs, etc, and be-
came a notable healer among the ig-
norant people, who ascribed to her
supernatural powersN
Such excitement was created among
certain sections that she was banished
from Mexico, though there was no
charge of crime against her.
For several years she had been liv
ing quietly in Clifton, where she was
respected.
Santa Teresa lived for some time in
Ventura, performing some of her Won
derful cures here. While in this city
she secured a divorce from her hus-
band. She mace her home with the
Ramirez family while in Ventura

AN OLD.TlME VISIT TO THE

| The death of Mrs Rufus Lyman calls

past and the moderate prosperity of the
present, but who would take hold of the
stroke oar and set pace, not hectic or
calculated to rack the boat, but in har-
mony with the world as it is today and
with an eye to the future instead of the
past.
This is what Gov. Proctor has been
doing. Not before in the memory of
the present generation has Vermont had
a governor who has taken such an ac-
tive and healthy interest in proposed
legislation and appeared so thoroughly
free from prejudice and special inter
eSts.
He has not feared to take up the
cudgel for the people against the rail
roads, against the tax dodgers, and to
punish those who have used public place
for private profit. He works openly
for progressive laws and for the first
time in the history of Vermont an lad
ministration measure" has a significance
that rallies to it the confidence and
support of those who are striving for
a greater and better Vermont.
In the plain language of plain peo-
pie, Governor Proctor is making good.
His predecessors in office, Governors
Bell and Mccullough, were two of our
best governors. The standard has been
raised, permanently, it is to be hoped
and Vermont will in the end profit
thereby.

GOVERNOR PROCTOR.

The Bennington Banner does itself
credit in its words of commentator of
Gov Proctor.
1t says from the time he graduated
from plain citizenship to the headship
of the state government he has been
found at his bench every day working
for the interests Of the state in straight
forward, unassuming fashion calculated
to inspire hope and merit confidence.
What Vermont has needed for years
has been public men who were not
wholly content with the glory of the
