CUBA WILL BE ANNEXED.
. Not by foice will Cuba become
a part of the territory of the United
States. The operation of natural
laws is something not to be denied
or reversed. As an intelligent
people, wishing to advance in the
world, to secure peaceful conditions
and sound prosperity, the Cubans, at
some time not distant, will welcome
a complete incorporation of their
island with this republic. Self-interest
will decide the matter. Sentimental
ism is tunning its course, and the
common sense facts of the situation
are developing from month to month.
There are in Cuba a number of
elements politically antagonistic to
each other. Provincial jealousies
are threatening. Old race prejudices
and feuds must be restrained with a
firm hand. Cuba's business relations
are mainly and unalterably with this
country. In spite of all the burdens
imposed by Spain, the bulk of Cuba's
foreign commerce was with us. Now
that the wall is broken down the
currents of trade begin to run free.
A great volume of American capital
will go to Cuba if the island elects to
remain under our flag. But Ameri
can enterprise must necessarily hold
back as long as a chance remains
that Cuba will choose to be tempo
rarily another turbulent Spanish-
American republic.
We are pledged to give Cuba a
stable government. By no possibil
ity can this be constiued to mean
that our forces will withdraw entire
ly from the island as long as the
seeds of civil war are alive. A
stable, free government is one con
ducted securely and harmoniously by
a majority of the electorate, and by
a fall recognition of the rightful
power of majorities. No govern
ment is stable unless it is able to
perform international duties, to pro
tect life and property, and to defend
itself - against outside aggression.
Cuba needs the sheltering arm of
the United States. It needs the
freedom of trade with us that prevails
among our own states. That can be
secured only by annexation. Should
the island become a separate nation
ality it must face the same tariff
regulations as Canada, Jamaica and
other foreign, though contiguous
regions. Will the Cubans, after a
calm consideration of the advantages
of union with this country, vote for
what is most dangerous and unprofi
table to themselves? It seems in
lncredible. Annexation with the United States
is a high privilege and one that we
are not offering to any people but
the Cubans. We should not agree
to annex Canada except through
cautious negotiations, and these
xsight result in a failure to agree.
Cuba stands in a different light. Its
status, as far as we are concerned, is
distinct from that of any other spot
on earth. We have given much in
-life and treasure for its liberation.
Jt8 offered cession was refused be
cause we had promised its jeople a
choice in their future form of gov
ernment, after the island is pacified
and the conditions are stable. The
promise will be fulfilled. At .the
same time the fact is clear that the
only road to stability leads direct to
annexation. To be a part of the
United States -is unmistakably the
destiny of Cuba. The sooner this
is naturally consummated the better.
When it is done the island will be
the scene of a splendid transforma
tion, social, political and industrial,
with few counterparts in history.

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael C lrtain, Plainfield, III.,

Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New

a bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from the first dose. She con
