CUBA.
The critical relations between the
United Stales and Spain have sprung,
of coarse, on account ol Cuba, and
many qnestions are being asked about
the size of the island of Cuba, its population,
and other things appartaining
to the island. In order to answer
many inquires, and in order to furnish
what may prove interesting information
just at this time, some re
*- 1 +Ka Konofif I
sesrcn uxs ueei- uauc, ivi wc ui.ui.ui
of the readers of The News and
' Hekald, to ascertain these facts.
Cuba i3 tha largest in the West India
group of islands, and was discovered
by Columbm, about two we ks, it is
said, after he first saw land in tf;e cow
world- la the Cathedral of f! ;vana
the .remains of Columbus now resr.
Cuba was colonized by Spain i'? 1511.
The French destroyed its capital in
1534 and 1554, and the Dutch gained
possession of it in 1624, but restored
it in a short time; in 1762 the island
fell into the possession of the British,
but the next year by a treaty Cuba
again became Spanish tet ritorv, and
has remained under Spain ever since,
although many revolts have been made
against Spain's iron hand.
From Cape Sable, Florida, Cuba is
only 120 miles. The island extends,
" ? * j- /?A rv
in lengtii, ea3t ana west, ow mnw,
and is 21 miles wide in its narrowest
part and 111 miles in its widest; its
area i? 43,220 square miles, a iittle
larger than Kentucky, Ohiot Tennessee
or Virginia. It's population is
1,632,000, most of them, about onefifth,
being in Havana. According to
the Washington Post Almanac and
Encljclopcedia, from which we obtain
most of the facts here stated, the
island will furnish homes for twelve
mlliioxss of people, and then be bnt little
more densely populated than the State
of Massachusetts is now. It abounds
in valuable timbers such as palm,
mahogony, ebony and cedar. The
proitable crops are sugar, coffee and tobacco.
Its trade with the United
States, in time of peace, is a great
source of revenue, and it is interesting
to note how it is disappearing since
the war has been waged. In 1894 the
sugar crop was i,uou,vuu ions, ana iue
average annual tobacco crop is about
450,000 bales; in 1896, the war reduced
the sugar crop to about 200,000
tons, the tobacco crop to 50,000 or
?ne-ninth what it was in time of peace,
aayaour authority: "Tie decline of
the island's commerce with the Uaited
States, as indicated by statistics prepared
for the Agricultural Department,
shows how xainous the conflict
has become to the Cuban people. The
year belore the present war began,
the trade amounted to $102,864,204;
bat for the fiscal year ended Jane 30,
1896, it was only $47,548,610, or 46
per cent of what it was so recently.
It is estimated that the close of the year
June SO, 1897, found it to be only
about $20,000,000, or less than onefifth
of what it was before the revolt."
It will be surprising to most people
a tnnw that fnllv 65 Der cent of the I
population of Cuba are white. Thi?
white population consists of native
Spaniards, who are immigrants from
Spain, officials, ex-oficials, wealthy
planters and merchants, and there are
about 60,000 of these. The native
Cubans, descendants of the Spanish
conquerors, number about a million.
About 50,000 Chineie laborers are
found a3 laborers on the plantations,
and the remainder of the population
consists of negroes and mulattoes, who
are the principal laborers on the
farms. Prior to 1886 negro slavery
existed on the island, but in 18S0 the
Government began a gradual emancipation
of the slaves, and in 1886
slavery in Cuba ended.
The following simple facts will
show how grea* provocation the
Cubans have had to revolt against the
tyrany of Spain, aid it will enable us
to conceive h?w they caa endara
starvation rather than submit to
Spanish rule:
The supreme executive is tailed the
Governor-General. He is not elected
by the people nor have they any voice
whatever in naming this oilcer. He
i# {appointed by the Crown or practically
by Spain's Secretary for the
colonies. This executive has power
to stay the execution of any law in his
discretion. His salary, which is paid
by taxing the Cubans, is no lets a
sum than that paid the President of
the United States, $50,000 per annnm.
In addition to this he is furnished a
palace, a country home, a g:-eat retinue
ot servants, ana rtmeu iu juaui j at i
the expense of oppressed Cnbs.^
Bach of the six provinces have a
governor appointed by tie Spanish
Government, and they report to the
Governor-General.
By the Spanish Constitution the
island of Cuba is bound to establish
and maintain the Roman Catholic
Church at home and abroad. The
Bishop of Havana is paid a salary of
$18,000, the Archbishop of Santiago
$18,000.
Before the war was under way,
1S9S-1894, Spain extorted from this
little country, just a little larger than
on ?r>Tina] fnT of $20.000.
JULWUVUVft^ J wu ?? ? ? ? -T- j , .
000 to $26,000,0?0. Of course if j
Spain snbdaes the insurgents Cuba j
will have to par the costs of the war.
This is estimated at about $120,000,000
a year.

affairs, says that this money taken
under the forms of law does not represent

and fraud. These are the figures
for a year under ordinary conditions;
how much more astoanding must they
be, if we admit that the islanders will

Spring Convention as his been advocated,
because such a candidate
would thereby be precladed from ru lining
in the regular Democratic primary.
He quotes this from the constitution
of the party showing the
character of the pledge ike candidate
for State officars are required to make:!
"Tha* he is not, nor will he become, j
the candidate of any faciiou either
privately or publicly suggested, other J
than the regular Democratic primary."
This seems to settle th? question thai
no aspirant for ofllce can honestly take
the required pledge after he has been
"suggested or nominated" by a convention.
The pledge i< verv far reachins,
and we doubt whether it has been
generally known that such a thin; bad
been put into the constitution of tbe
party. It was adopted in consequence
of the "Colleton plan" and similar
plans. If the strict lefc^r of the law
is obeyed by candidates, then it would
never be possible for a ring candidate
to appear before the people in tLe
regular primary. Even the caucus
candidate is debarred. If a few men
meet in a room at a Intel in Colombia,
and conclude tbat Mr. A. onght to ran
for Governor or any other office because
he is available as u representative
of certain public measures, and
Mr.*A. is accordingly sugg?.?ted tbe
next morning in the newspapers, we
do not see how Mr. A. could bouestly
make the pledge required of him in
th* regular Democratic primary.
The cr>nt?mnlfttes a condi
tion ot affairs that we are afraid do not
exist. It would be an ideal state if the
office should always seek the man.
While the provision is a v wholesome
one, it is hardly like . .hut it
will be the death of caucuses. As long
as ire hare polities, caucuses, botb big
and small will exist. The provision
nay serve to cut off the publicly "suggested
candidate" because his disqualification
to run in the primary
would be known, and he would not
subject himself to public condemnation
by having made a pledge manife?tly
uotre.

floating niue, it will kt kard for the
President to wdthslaaa tie presitfre of
an indignant people, and delay makiag
a demand on Spain for an indemnity.
Congress will feel this pressure even
more than the President because the
elections come off this fall. Up to the
time of the report of the court
of inquiry, the President has been
praised by all the people without
regard to political parties, but
he will be severely censured
if he carries out the waiting poliey
accredited to him is the associated
press dispatches. The conditions demand
quick and prompt action.
Two weeks ago, it was repori?d
that the United State* Government
was keeping a close eye on the movements
of tLe Spanish torpedo flotilla.
Now it is said the attitude of the
flotilla torpedo amounts almost to hostilities.
It is reported from Washington
that prominent naval authorities
say this Government conld not suffer
the fleet to come into w-atern water?.
Sowerer the war may be provoked,
whatever may be th? immediate provocation
for it, the multitude of causes
are rapid<y conaentratiug to produce
the effect The resultant of al! the
forces now discernible means war.
Wi still stick to the opinion that
only absck down by Spain will avert
a war. The Court of Inquiry has
made its report, and It is now in the
hands of the Pre?ident. Not only has
there beer no let up in the preparations
for defence, bat the activity in
the arm> and navy departments has
increased.
[ RECOGNITION* OF BELLIGERENCY OR
INTERVENTION.
i Should the investigation into the
<Wtrn*>finn of the Maine show that the
ship ffas destroyed from an external
cause, it will theH be as interesting as
well as perplexing problem to decide
whether a cap.se of war exists. Of
coarse, if it 6houId be sfliown that the
deed was done at the instance and
with knowledge of the Spanish Gorernment,
then a. casus belli would
clearly exist. If it wa- done by some
Spaniard without any suggestion or
conniyance of the Spanish authorities,
then it is had to see bow the United
Stales could make war on Spain on
account of the destruction of the Maine.
The United States, it seems, would in
that event clearly have the right to
demand an indemnity from Spain just
[ as Italy did a few years ago from tne
United States when the Italians in
New Orleios were murdered. This
Government might then go a step further
and demand a payment of the
indemnity by force of arms, bat this
would hardly prove necessary.
The other vievr of the present situation
is wholly without reference to the
destruction of ihe Maine. It springs
out of our duty to Cuba. There are
times in a nation's history, wheu ir
becomes a duty to interfere with the j
affair-; of other countries. tjis ques-J
Cion is now pressing what action oujht
our government to iake in regard to
1
Cuba? What is our duty to Cubil, i
! * "? ' - * n c i

I two things raav be done when H is
i c >r.eluded I: one nai)'ii to take a j
j b.md in the aSVi-s ot another. The!
j Ur.i.ed Stat?-r may eiih^r rtcognize the
[ri^ht of belligerency or ii may make j
i an intervention by force of arms. The
re-:oo iition of belligerent lights is a
power usably exercised by the Executive,
and we believe that this is the
case ii: ail forms of government. The
s'ron? desire ot the peopic* of the
United States to rccognize the belligerent
rights <f the Cubans is shown
b>- the fact tint (or the !a<-t two years
Coi)gre?> nas f-howji an inclination to
r?ke the initiative in tliis direction.
The friction btt?ee:i Mr Cleveland
and Congress will be recalled. The
point, was then made that only the Ex
ecutive cou-d exercise this power.
Latterly the opinion is gaining ground
that Congress can express an opinio!)
on the subject- with the intention of
moving a tardy Executive. Already
Congress has passed a joint resolution,
which if approved by the President,
would be sufficient to give the Cnban9
the rights of belligerents, and very
important benefits would thereby be
assured to the Cnban usurgents. The
Cuban flag would be respected just as
much as Spain's; Cuban ships would
. i _ _ v . r*
nave me same ngni as ?pamsn snips
to sail tbe seas. The treatment of
Cuban prisoners as described by Senator
Proctor would not then be permitted.
They would be treated as
prisoners of war. And the capture of
filibusters would ccase, for the Cubans
would then have the same right as
Spain to buy munitions, and to borrow
money.
Whether the United States has a war
with Spain or not, it ought not to
delay longer to recognize the belligerent
rights of the Cubans. Up to tbis
time it has been demanded thai before
this government can recognize s^ch
rierhfo thot tho flnhflna mncf maintain
a permanent seat of government, and
mast occupy a seaport, and there most
be pitched battles.
Senator Money speakiog of this
phase of tbe questioh, in the Forum
for March, says: "The whole character
of the war, however, absolutely
precludes the fulfilment of any oue of
these conditions. They would not be
demanded by any sincere man who
had the sightest knowledge of the
military operations peculiar to a struggle
of this kind. The insurgents have

possible to success. They have not
weakened their forces by garrisoning
capital or seaport, or by attempting to
bold any particular point of vantage;
nor bave tbey been so foolish &3to
risk tbe whole result of their struggle
in pitched battles, when forty thousand
diversely and insufficiently armed
patriots would be required to fight the
two hundred thousand regulars of
Spain, and her fifty thousand guerillas
and volunteers. On the contrary,
they permit the Spaniards to erqploy
their great force in garrisoning towns,
ports, trccbas, railroads, etc., while
tbey themselves keep the open country,
live ijpon its products, collect
taxes, and harass tbe en?my whenever
tke lattir leave their fortifications.
The plan of the eampaijn, therefore,has
been masterly, and its execution
gallant and effective."
The island is rapidly becoming a
waste. The women and children
crowded in tfrwr miserable but* are
dying oj! disease. They are without
fir?od, and it is said that they are actually
digging worms from the ground
for food. It may not be considered
among nations a just cause to interfere
for humanitarian reasons, but as
the world is bjcomiug more highly
civilized the duv ousht not to be Dost
posed when this principle shall be incorporated
in international iavr. The
Powers of Europe ought to hare made
tke precedent in the cise cf the Armenians,
which will always stand as a
shame and dis?race to the whole civilized
world.
In these davs nation*, like individual?,
consider the valte of a dollar;
when higher things fail to m^ve them
material intends and national and
political inflaeuce will. T<,e preservation
of'material iuteres s is recog
nizeri by iuiernational kw as -nfficient
cause for either peacelu! or armed intervention.
So nations have interfered
where their commercial interests
have suffered by a war between two
countries. It is estimated that citizens
of the United States own over fifty
millions of property in Cuba and hold
mortgages on as much more. This
rvronprfv is n or worthless hv the
war. A trade amounting to neariy
ninety Million dollars per annnm is
nearly goue, ?.ud a continuance of this
war wiii entirely destroy this trade.
So that from every view of our rela- j
tions with Caba, it aeetas impossible
/
for the United States not to like some
decided action. Whatever is done
mnat be done quickly.
EDUCATION AT KIDGEWAY*
%
Eidgeway ganerairy carries out its
projects, and we have no doubt that
the contemplated High School will
prove a reality. We know of no town
of its size in the State where there is
more money, more successful business
men, aud more energy. We congratulate
Ridgewav upon i he latest
evidence of ker progress.
There can be no genuine succws in
life without edacation. Money is a
good thing, but education is better.
For the proper enjoyment of money a
man must be educated. The man
who enjoys the mere sord.d pu&seision
of money contributes little to his own
elevation and nothing to the happiness
of the world. The man with
money, unpolished by the refining
process of ?ducation, is generally a
"skint flint," and does more harm to
a ^community than good. He grinds
"? *
ana oppresses 01# ienuws wueu uc ua?
a chance; he is narrow bacause he is
ignorant; he is revengeful because he
ha? not been educated to higher things;
he i? nnsjrnpathetic because he has
been made sel5sk in the pursuit of
one idea in life?the possession of
mone; ; he is vulgar in his tastes because,
uneducated, he knows no better.
I-. if, therefore, encouraging to fled
any commanitv reaching out for
bigi.er things.
Tee 'Jaire disaster is now of minor
importance. As we have said before,
it is a mere incident. The administration
so treats it. War for humanitarian
reasons is the position now taken.
This is clear from the recent proceed
ings in Congress.

to Find Out.
Fill a bottle of common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fonr
hours; a sediment of settling indicates i
an unbealty condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidnev trouble. Tod frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys

"What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary pas^ges.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wire

necessity of being compelled to
