CRUISE OF BATTLE SHIPS What a relief it will be to the overwrought nerves and imaginations of this country, Europe and Asia when the much advertised "Pacific Cruise" has passed into the realm of "things that were." We are told that no observer in all Europe, however friendly to America, but asserts that President Roosevelt's policy regarding the fleet is full of provocating meaning. It is asserted, on the other hand, that the idea that Japan has any bellicose intention is unanimously repudiated; that trouble, if it comes, will be caused by some wound to the amour propre of a high-spirited, Oriental people, and that the danger of such an offense will inevitably be increased by this cruise. It is significant, that of all these utterances in Germany and Russia, no criticism of President Roosevelt is to be found. On the contrary, they are enthusiastic in his praise. It remains for the people of the United States to impugn the motives and cast slurs at of the platform is not infrequent local conditions or consular It is a mistake for one to think, even, that this order would profit by the of any particular city." ord does not bear out assertions, as local sentiments influenced these nations It is claimed by political weight that the democracy 1860 would not have occured the convention been less aggressive in its charge of slavery.

People are coming high taxes, and the seas to be unpropitious for bond issues. that the danger of such an offense will inevitably be increased by this cruise. It is significant, that of all these utterances in Germany and Russia, no criticism of President Roosevelt is to be found. On the contrary, they are enthusiastic in his praise. It remains for the people of the United States to impugn the motives and cast slurs at the man they have placed at their head. We admit that, as a nation we are provincial when it comes to the dark and devious intricacies of affairs diplomatic, but we have not been asked to believe that this contemplated cruise is taken for the benefit of the health of the naval officers in command, as some of the dispatches would seem to indicate. A little faith in the judgment of the president who has for six years given every evidence of having the welfare of the people at heart would not be out of order. Is It Worth While? In the latest dispatches from Cuba we learn of an attempt to burn the American quartermaster's corral at Havana, in which there were 250 horses and mules, a quantity of supplies and a number of wagons. The fire broke out while employes were at supper, and was undoubtedly of an incendiary origin, and it is now believed that a fire last week in the medical depot in the arsenal was also incendiary, despite the fact that an investigating board declared it to be accidental. This is only one of many like reports which we constantly hear and speak so eloquently of the loyalty to this government and of the respect for its authority which obtains in Cuba. Is it worth our while after all, to attempt to construct a free and independent republic out of a parcel of white monarchists, a PRODUCTS OF ORANGE C.

Some of follow: There has been a land of planting done in the years, the largest port range and walnut grow 1000 acres of oranges a have been put out and more in walnuts.

This is only one of many like reports which we constantly hear and speak so eloquently of the loyalty to this government and of the respect for its authority which obtains in Cuba. Is it worth our while after all, to attempt to construct a free and independent republic out of a parcel of white monarchists, a group of yellow agitators, and a horde of negroes? We have every evidence that the United States is cordially hated for its pains by Spaniard and Cuban alike, and while it is better to work for a brilliant end than to attain a mediocre one we sometimes wonder if the game is worth the candle—if we are not too altruistic. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION The fight for the conventions is coming on apace and much maneuvering is in progress, more, in fact, than appears to the naked eye. On this subject Chairman New is quoted as follows: "Some people are disposed to attach great political importance to the selection of the convention city, but as a matter of fact there is practically no significance to it. The action of the convention in the nomination of the ticket and the drafting platform is not influenced by conditions or considerations. mistake for one to assert or even, that this or that can would profit by the selection of particular city.” The recourse not bear out Mr. New’s views, as local sentiment has faced these national actions. claimed by politicians of that the democratic split in would not have occurred had convention been held in a city aggressive in its championship every.
