people in a doubtful frame of mind as to the
future. They saw trouble ahead. and pre-
dicted IL. The governor. they declared
would be powerless. He would be antago-
nized by the machine men Of both parties
and his efforts to redeem his obligations
defeated
A part of this prediction has been full
filed. The two machines in the Legislature
are now in league against the governor.
and the question relates, not only to what
he cam but what he will, do.
Some of the current speculation makes
much of the governors supposed presiden-
tial aspirations 1t is suggested that he
will lay his course henceforth more with
regard to next years national field than
to this years local field. What would be
the effect of an open break now with the
New York republican machine? What
could he expect from 1t but the most
active opposition as respects the presiden-
tial nomination?
This is an absurdly shortsighted appraise-
ment OF the situation. II Gov. Hughes
cherishes any ambition to be President he
would wreck 1t completely by a surrender
to the Raines combination with Grady and
McCarren. That would tag him as a cheap
maneuverer. and take him out of both the
presidential field and the local field. His
standing at Albany would at once sink
to the lowest level. and his usefulness as
governor come to end.
Gov. Hughes should and probably will
stand pat He can afford to be defeated
in the matter of legislation. But to win
by concessions to enemies in his party
acting in conjunction with the leaders OF
the democratic party would cost him all
that he is and may ever hope to be.

Secretary Taft and Cuba.

While Secretary TaftS cOunSelS are al
ways of value. and especially as regards
Cuban affairs. the people of that island
should not expect :: 20 much of him on his
coming visit in the matter Of their diff
culties. He will be neither prepared nor
disposed to settle everything in a moment
and while they wait. He is not without in
formation as to the situation. Gov. Magoon
has kept him fully advised Of all develop
ments and he will consult with the gov
ernor with clear understanding of what
has taken place since the provisional gov
eminent was established
Still. every step in Cuba now is impor-
tant; and full as the Secretary's informa-
ton is. and clever as he is in handling deli
cate business. he may not be expected to go
at a gallOp while there. Haste on our part
might mean both waste and bloodshed, and
there has been enough of both in Cuba in
the past decade. We took hold last year
with the knowledge that letting go would
have to be carefully calculated, and our
situation is not a surprise to us. Neither
should it be in the least discouraging.
We may safely discount all talk to the
effect that foreign governments intend to
make our retirement from the island i'm
possible that. If necessary, they will enter
formal protest, and warn US that If the
Stars and Stripes comes down the staff
again they will arrange to protect their
own interests against any disorders that
may follow. The outside world is as well
advised now at any time in the past of
our relations to Cuba, and of their own.
We are In the island by right which they
do not enjoy. and for duty which they
could not discharge. We are competent
for our task. and ask no advice about its
execution. Our own investments are large.
and in looking out for them We shall look
out for everybody else's.
The Cuban people are in what we in this
country describe as "a state of mind
Some hopeful, some hopeless. Some
are sulky. some angry. The politicians
want office. The business men and the
planters want security and prosperity. All
are curious. Is there to be another trial
of self-government? And if so, when?
The Presidents words spoken when the
Palma government fell. still hold good.
Moreover, they rest upon the law. We in
tervened only for the protection of life and
property. Cuba could not be annexed to
the United States without the consent of
her people and of the American Congress.
1t is still within the province of the
Cubans to take up their own affairs again,
and the time also is for them to decide.
The sooner they discover that raising sugar
is more profitable than raising hades, and
confine themselves to the former crop,
the better. But while the preference for
hades continues it will be the duty of Uncle
sam to remain and see that the acreage is
as small as possible.

When the sunshine's laughing yellow
Is reflected from the hedge,
And the jonauil, merry fellow,
Is a-peeping from the edge
OF the garden where the blooming
Tempts the feet to lightly roam,
Be not rash and too presuming,
Better linger close at home
For those bright and golden gleamings
Are unto the human eye
AS the songs OF siren dreamings
Were to ear in days gone by.
They would lure us, all demurely,
Into colds that flercely cling.
They're the yellow peril, surely,
Which looms up SO threatening.
