From our own experience we are
prone to think Of national indie
pendence as possessing some Inherent
sanctity. whereas in sober fact II may
be either a blessing or a curse. Politl-
cal independence as a means OF es-
Gaping, the evils OF intolerable mis-
government is just aspiration of
any people, but It cannot be very
sacred right when IL Is the means of

considerable element Of the
Cuban population, those upon whose
industry. intelligence, culture and
moral worth the islands civilization
depends. no doubt appreciate the obli-
cations and opportunities OF indie
pendence, but there has all the time
been doubt in the minds. both of
the world and OF that Cuban element.
whether the majority of the inhabi-
tants are of such character that they
can long be allowed independence
safely for themselves and for others.
Recent and current events have
gravely increased that doubt, which
had been disappearing during several
years Of peace under the government
which American aid enabled the
Cubans to set going. Whether there
be summary Intervention now or some
sort OF new government arrangement,
II will under the best circumstances
be long before this doubt can posi-
bly, be removed. and 1t might not be
long till the hopelessness OF success
would be established.
In any event, we and the Cubans
themselves, may as well face the fact
Of A,Cuban question and that any pos
sible adjustment now is essentially
experimental and bound to enter Sc
riously into the politics of both peo-
pies for long time TO come.

HEARST AND BRYAN

The three strongest Independent
democratic New York newspapers
agree exactly as to the effect Of the
nomination of Hearst, namely, in the
language of one OF them; that lit will
make the state surely republican for
many years to come" If this eminent
democratic judgment be well founded
the result wipes out utterly whatever
prospect there may have been for the
Bryan movement. even assuming that
his nomination has not also been Inn
periled. For political conditions have
been 80 reversed since 1895 that re-
turn to the ancient alliance between
New York and the solid south had
obviously become the sole basis of any
sort of democratic plan for 1908. The
populist and silver republican parties
are long since practically extinct, and
no political point could be more certain
than that the western states carried by
Mr.. Bryan ten years ago are utterly
beyond his or his party's reach In the
election two years hence.
Nor is the shadow which the Hearst
movement casts over MIR. Bryan's pres
tige within the party. saying nothing
of the election. likely to grow less.
His influence in New York absolutely
failed as rallying point for the de-
cent elements against the Hearst mar
plots. and he is quickly out now with
the explanation that he stood neutral
throughout the emergency, accepting
with qualification the outcome. Those
elements are now forced out of the
party. while Hearst controls its organi-
zation, win or lose in the state cleo
ton. And 1t is noteworthy that he
broke the procession OF state conven-
ton Bryan Endorsements, peremptorily
suppressing the eager EFFORT OF the
latter's friends. and stopping short
with extending to him only most cor
dial and sincere felicitations" upon
''the hospitality and acclaim which
have been accorded him at home and
abroad"

put William Randolph Hearst at the
top of the heap in New York will be

whether these fees received by virtue

ton of the marriage fees. however,
has not constituted the most serious
abuse of the administration OF the
