OBSTACLES TO ANNEXATION
Harper's Weekly.

II is at the same time true, though
many Europeans will hear the asser-
ton with Incredibly, that We are very
far from desiring to annex Cuba. II is
indeed very doubtful whether project
Of annexation, even though II should
be advocated by President Roosevelt,
would be sanctioned by both houses Of
Congress. The standpatters, who have
prevented the free admission OF Phil
ipplne sugar and tobacco into Amerl-
can ports. would be far more vehem-
emily opposed to the removal Of duties
on similar products from Cuba. Moth
ing but the abolition of such duties on
our part however, would sweeten for
the cuban the bitter pill OF annexa-
ton. II follows that Mr. Roosevelt
finds himself in a dilemma from which
extricatlon will be difficult. The time
may come. and may even be near,
when nothing but annexation will ena-
bic him TO discharge the duty imposed
upon him by the treaty OF Paris and
vet he s likely 10 find our Congress
inflcxlbly resisting annexation except
upon the condition that the island shall
be treated like Porto Rico. That,
neither the pride nor the pecunary
self-interest Of the Cuban could brook.

and that it has managed TO retain It's

NO COMPROMISE IN FRANCE.

The French cabinet, It is reported,
has arrived at an understanding as to
what will be the attitude OF the govern-
ment in the enforcement OF the Separa-
ton law which becomes operative In
December next what the conclusion
is, IS not stated, but It can be taken
for granted that there will be no re-
traction on the part OF the ministry.
This much can be inferred from the
public utterances Of the Premier, NJ.
sarrien, and the Minister of the In
terror. NJ. Clemenceau. They have as
serted that no step would be taken that
would reflect upon the government In
fact, the attitude Of both church and
state seems to be one OF estrangement.
There Is no disposition TO reconcilia-
ton in evidence. IL the enforcement
Of the law, the government functions
aries say, Involves the forfeiture Of
church buildings and other eccleslastl-
cal property. SO much the worse for the
French Catholics, who have not been
permitted by the Vatican TO effect an
accommodation.
The Pope is reported 10 he equally
determined not to yield. To an in
quiry whether some arrangement
might not be made whereby French
Catholics might be enabled to use the
church buildings, which had been en-
deared to them by long association, the
Pope is said to have replied that the
whole responsibility for the confisca-
ton Of ecclesiastical property would
rest upon the civil power According
TO an article in the New York Sun, the
Pope recalled the fact that In this en-
cyclcal he had been constrained to re-
pudiate the so-called cultural ASSOC
Citations prescribed by the civil power

would have embodied violation OF the
fundamental principles OF the canon

same ground he had felt obliged to
withhold his sanction from the subst-

French prelates. II was not for him,
who had no power TO remodel the basic
canons OF the church, but for the
French government, to remove the OBJ

had to do, Plus X concluded, was so to
modify the Separation act as to render
1t possible for French Catholics to form

not forbid.

Importance TO the cubans.
A brief resume OF the history OF
American Intervention IN Cuba at this
time. may be OF interest Palma was
unanimously chosen TO be the frst
Cuban president. He was renomlnated
last year by the Moderate party, while
the Liberals declared for General Co
meg. Palma carried the election by
methods which his opponents declared
fraudulent, and great excitement pre-
vailed. This was not allayed when
Palma removed all Liberals from office.
on the 18th OF August last a plot to
overthrow the Palma government was
discovered, and Generals Villas, Carlos,
Garcia and Castillo were arrested, but
General Castillo escaped and raised an
army, as did also Generals Ferran and
Pine Guerra. Palma was quite unable
10 put down the instruction Life and
property became more and more un-
safe, and President Roosevelt. in a
friendly letter to the Cuban minister,
warned the factions that unless they
concluded peace and mainta lned good
order the United States would feel
obliged to intervene. under the Plat
amendment. Palma requested interview
ton. Secretary Taft and Assistant secre-
tary Bacon were therefore sent 10 Ha-
vana as mediators between the factions
and as Investigators for the United
States government.
Secretary Taft conducted negotiations
for peace. His idea was for Palma to
retain office until new election could
be held whose results would be accepted
by the Insurgents. But this did not
seem to appeal to Palma, and he and
his cabinet resigned on September 2s.
The Cuban congress was unable to elect
successor, and thus there being no
government In existence. Secretary TAFT
issued proclamation and took posses
sion of the island as It's governor. The
arrival Of Governor Magoon marks
new paragraph Of this brief history OF
Cuban revolution. We can only hope
that the coneiiatory policy declared by
Secretary Taft viii be followed out to
the end

since 1880 The householder who has

there has been an appreciable increase

the bureau statisticians estimate, III

but II tho ratio could be figured out
with defniteness It would doubtless be
shown that the general prosperity of
the country was more than III higher
during 1865 than during 1890. The cities
pay more for their foods, but the rural
sections are receiving very much more
for their enterprise, and as the cities
are dependent In more ways than one
upon the rural sections, the situation
balances itself 10 the general good of
all concerned.

Mr.. Bryan in London.

Mr.. Bryan never appeared to better
advantage than when in advocacy OF
international arbitration he addressed
the Interparliamentary Union on
tuesday. He is a convinced opponent
OF war, and his subject was peace, or,
what is the same thing, the means of
averting war. The speaker and the
theme had the entire sympathy of the
audience, and Mr.. Bryan's climax,
when, pointing to the painting of Mel
sons death scene he acclaimed.
There is as much inspiration in a
noble life as in heroic DEATH" must
have recalled to Americans present
the triumphant moment of the "cross
OF gold passage in the Chicago
speech ten years ago.
At his best Mr.. Bryan on his feet
could not fail to please a British au-
dlence, but upon this occasion he
won the enthusiastic applause of a
cosmopolitan assemblage. The people
of this country will rejoice to have
been SO creditably represented, and
they are permitted to enjoy the some
what novel pleasure of agreeing with
every word Mr.. Bryan said. A resort
to commission of inquiry and medi-
alton before taking up arms is a coun-
sci of such wisdom and beneficence
that there can hardly be two opinions
about it in fully civilized lands. The
further declarations of the Union in
respect to limiting contraband to
actual munitions of war, and to the
exemption from the risks of war of
private property at sea, are no less
sound and salutary. They are in ac-
cord with the modern view that war
is a public relation between govern
ments which should as little as posi-
BILE affect private subjects or citizens
of the belligerent powers.-New York
Times.

teething. The second subscriber, a
farmer, wanted to know how to rid
his orchard of grasshoppers.
The editor In the next weeks is

best of his ability. but unfortunately
he mixed up the sobriQuets under
which the two inquirers had request

came about that the mother of teeth
