THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. 81, 1906.

THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD, which
has the happy faculty of occasionally
seeing things from a southern stand
point. today has the following to say on
the Cuban situation.
To all rejecting people the scenes in
Atlanta should afford warning against
the annexation of Cuba TO the United
States. Is it imagined that the mani.
festations of race hatredin Georgia would
not renew themselves with greater vio-
lence in Cuba when ii should fall into
possession of this government? The
trouble in Atlanta will be suppressed and
order eflectually restored; there is no
doubt of that; but it would be great
mistake. TO assume that conflicts OF race
can be so easily stopped in Cuba.
The Cuban negroes. and especially The
mulattoes, who constitute the rank and
file of the struggling insurgent forces,
iealously claim their right of social and
political equality. Ahy attempts OF the
whites to lessen or dispsrage this right
would be followed by very different re-
suits from what are witnessed either In
the northern or southern portions Of
this country. The government OF Presl'
dent Palma is practically a white mans
government, and there is no question
that this has had large share In thu
.nsurrection. Under annexation the gov
eminent of Cuba would be white man
government, az are the colonial govern
ments OF the Philippines and Hawaii
Among the whites of the north there II
lust as much race feeling as among thu
whites of the south; and should Cubs
be annexed this feeling would he apt Il
assert itself az much there as in Penn
sylvania. For thereason that this country
has enough race trouble of its own, II
would be folly to borrow still greater by
annexing the negroes and mulsttoes Oh

Hughes to stump the state.

New York, Sept. 27--Chsrles f.
Hughes, republican nominee TOR g ,vern-
or, will stump the State. He will visit
every section of the State aud make him
self personally known to the voters.
Hughes campaign trip will probably be
made on a special train. His campaign
will resemble the whirlwind tour of the
State made by Theodore Roosevelt in
1898. Mr.. Hughes said today that be
was in the fight to win. He said the
nomination had come to him in pleas

not indulge in newspaper campaign,

President and Congressman Parsons some
two weeks ago, when the latter paid his

ment printed today to the effect that
President Roosevelt would take the

ecutive Office as absurd. The only

dent between thi, date and election day

place to speak at the dedication of the

Peace without Intervention Possible

Peace without Intervention Possible
Havana, Sept. 27.-Peace without in

thought they had arranged q neat little
trick 10 put the United States in an un

ton of all the constitutional authorities,

Today the moderates are working as
hard to have the latest suggestion of
appointing committees from either side

puted points left to arbitration of peace
commissioners, adopted IS they were try
ing Yesterday to embarrass Mr.. TAFT.
The outcome of their labors is eagerly
awaited, as upon the answer to bis pro-
posal depends the issue OF peace or in
tervention.
Secretary Taft soon jostled the moder-
ates out of the comfortable berth IN
which they thought they had landed
themselves after the rejection Of the lib
erals peace terms on Tuesday and Presi-
dent PaIma's announcement of his in
tention To resign. This they thought
would force permanent Intervention,
perhaps annexation, which they pre-.
ferred to seeing the liberals installed in
power.
Mr.. Taft told them the United States
would intervene If the government desert
ed, but only long enough to restore or
der and Their hold new general cleo
ton. This would have insured
liberal victory eventually. Interven-
ton in this light did not appear so
desirable and the moderates got busy tG
have the danger averted.
1t is expected President Palma will re-
ffain from offering his resignation to
Congress tomorrow, or that Congress will!
delay action on the resignation until the
outcome of the new peace is definitely
settled.
Havana, Sept. 81 The Daily Tel
egraph says there are persistent rnmors
that the administration party, or certain
influential members of it, are preparing
an uprising against the Americans be-
cause of discomfort at the course pursued
by the peace commissioners. If the up
rising materializes, it will commence,
it is said, in the PROVINCES of Matanzas,
and Canaguey, where the government
forces will take to the bush, and that
within a very few days.

A SHORT month ago the democracy OF
this country was in the ascendant beyond
all dispute, and everything looked most
roseate for the success of the party at the
polls at the approaching congressional
election, and also at the presidential cleo
ton two years hence. Then landed IN
this country, after & wonderful tour OF
the world, Mr.. William j. Bryan, who,
despite the protests and urgings OF MS
best friends, made that unfortunate
speech in favor of public ownership.
Although the utterance was but the SEN
timent of the speaker, who afterwards
said he did not wish to force his ideas
on the democratic party, yet 1t caused a
change of views among thousands oil
men and was felt as body blow to the
