to prevent tho growth and the devel-
opment Of the country on the prosper
GUS lines which had been realized un-
der President Palma, and that 1t was
necessary In the best interests OF Cuba
to secure for him solid support In
both houses of congress in order that
the proper policy might be followed"
General Andrade's benevolent inten-
tions were carried out. Every mem
ber OF the house OF representatives,
every provincial governor, every pres
idential elector, was a moderate; no
liberal candidate throughout the Is
land received a majority. 1t was
clean sweep. The republican machine
in Philadelphia or Tammany hall in
New York could not have done more.
That unanimous election was the
cause of the revolution. The liberals
would not abide by the result. AS
was their custom when they felt the
heel OF the despot In Spanish times,
they took to the "bosque" (the bush) /.
where their followers Joined them un-
til they got together a nondescript
army of altogether more than $1,000
men, mostly ignorant negroes, who
compose 20 per cent OF the rank and
file of the liberal party. A large num-
ber of the remainder were Ignorant
whites. Had President Palma resist
ed, II he had not summoned help from
Washington, this turbulent mob of en-
ragged and disappointed politicians
would have sacked the city of Ha-
vana, and would have burned the prop
erty of the moderates, whose leaders
are among the wealthiest of the ma
tive Cubans. They would have plum
dered the Spanish population, whom
they hate as their former oppressors,
end would have committed no end Of
devastation throughout the island. Sec
retary Taft In one of his early tele-
grams to the president said: "The
even remote possibility suggested in
your telegram OF last night that un-
der any hypothesis the Platt amend
ment may require the present insur-
rectionary force to be treated as a
government de facto makes me shiver
at the consequences. 1t is not gov
eminent in any OF its characteristics,
but only an undisciplined horde of
men under partisan leaders. The
movement Is large and formidable, and
commands the sympathy of majority
of the people of Cuba. but they are
the poorer classes and the uneducated.
The liberal party. which is back of the
movement, has men of ability and sub
stance in 1t. but they are not the
leaders of the insurgent forces, in
whom such a government de facto
must vest. II in anybody"
The treatment of the situation by
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre-
tary Bacon was remarkable for tact
and diplomacy. They not only per
suaded this armed mob of ignorant
negroes to surrender, but to give uI
their arms in the very moment oi
victory. 1t was one OF the most ex
traordinary events in political history
And the behavior of both the leaders
and the ranks and file since the sur.
render has been exemplary. They
have shown an extraordinary degree
OF patience and patriotism. would

Destiny

Whenever a statesman D. unable to

have done he usually hides behind
the plea that it Is destiny. That
the readers Of the Commoner may be
able to answer this.destiny argument
The following, quotation is given from
the Last Of the Bar0ns, by BulWeT,
William of Hastings is described as
laying his sins at the door Of destiny,
and the author makes this comment
''It is destiny phrase Of the weak
human heart 1t is destiny Dark
apology for every error. The strong
and virtuous admit 40 destiny On
earth guides conseience-in heaven,
watches God. And destiny is but
the phantom We invoke to silence the
one, to dethrone the other
Each mans destiny il in his own
hands so far as his moral progress Is
concerned. If man is going to be
a thief, circumstances may determine
whether it is his destiny to escape
punishment or to be caught, but the
man decides for himself the all i'm
portant question whether he will be
a thief. And so circumstances may
determine how much profit or how
little profit country cau find in a
policy of Imperialism, but the coun-
try itself must decide-the people or
those whom the people permit to
speak for them-what the policy Of
the country will be--Destiny is IN

tional errors. The Commoner.

OLLIE JAMES
Secures Appropriation That Will Gfsatly
Benefit Our Farmers.

Representative Ollie James, OF this
district, secured in the Lower House
Of Congress last week an amendment
TO the agricultural appropriation bill
whereby part of the 1850, 600 fund
appropriated for examination OF ex-
animation of insects destructive OF
agriculture Is given for purpose Of
investigating tobacco worms and in
sects injurious tobacco.
The house, after a speech from Mr.
James Oh the subject aud regardless
Of the opposition OF chairman Of the
committee, Mr. Wadsworth, sustain
ed Mr.. James and included tobacco
insects IN the investigation.
Mr. James said that tobacco grow
ers in Western Kentucky and Ten
nessee, to which the amendment APP
plies, are already hampered by the
government placing a tax OF o cents
pound on leaf tobacco, which en-
ables the trusts control the markets.
He said that he made his appeal in
behalfs of the tobacco growers Of the
Dark Tobacco region, aud thought it
only justice that part of the appro-
priation should be used for their re-
lief.
