THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
The president’s message to con¬
gress is an unusually long docu¬
ment, and treats at length on the
various questions with which our
government has to deal.
The one in which most interest
is felt by our people, however, is
the Cuban question.
It was expected the president
would take a decided stand in re¬
gard to the war in Cuba, and that
he would make such recommenda¬
tion to congress as would indicate
a more vigorous policy in the in
terest of an early termination of
the struggle.
But there is nothing “vigorous I I
or definite about it.
The message treats of the war at
great length, and gives a clear an¬
alysis of the situation in the is¬
land, but makes no definte recom¬
mendation or suggestion as to any
immediate change of the present
policy of non-interference by our
government.
The president asserts that there
is no local or civil government in
Cuba, except on paper, unless
be the will of the
general of the insurgent
.«*
surgents are stronger than
before, and are better prepared
carry on the war for an indefinite
period ; that the Spanish govern¬
ment has made no progress in sup¬
pressing the rebellion, and
ing order in the island; that
the war goes on much longer
country will be so completely
vastated as to be hardly
fighting for.
The president further states
the friendly offices of this
ment have been kindly tendered
Spain in the hope of being able
aid in a peaceful settlement of
trouble in Cuba, but that no
spouse to the tender has been
ceived.
In conclusion, the
intimates to Spain that our
ests and relations with Cuba are
close and important that the
tience of the American people
not always remain pacific, and
cumstances may soon arise
would justify such interference a:
might lie necessary to speedily ter
urinate the war.
We do not agree with the
dent that there is no civil
ment in Cuba.
A 11 Cubans in this country,
are at all familiar with the
of the island, are agreed that
civil government was
there last year, with a
and full cabinet, and that a
stitution was adopted by a
constitutional convention,
ed of delegates from all the
iuces ill the island; that the
ernment thus organized has
exercised full authority 111
than three-fourths of the
for the past year a- d a half
that the generals in command
the Cuba 11 armies receive their in
struction from the
they recognize its au
and are governed by its de
crees and policy.
This being the case, we can see
no reason why the Cubans are not
entitled to recognition, either as
belligerents, or as an independent
P^°P le - maintaining their rights,
and proving their ability to govern
themselves.
We believe it is the duty of our
government to interpose its strong
arm at once, and stop the furthei
destruction of human life and
property in Cuba, and to aid th.
belligerents in establishing an
maintaining a government ol t’nei
own choosing, if they have no
such a government already.
The President’s Message.
Atlanta Commercial.
The president's message wan disap¬
pointing in that it hedged too per¬
ceptibly on the Cuban question.
Mr. Cleveland seems to concede
lhat the insurgents are in control
of three-fourths of the island, yet,
according to bis position Havana
must fall before Cuba can be recog¬
nized,
lie complains lhat the insurgents
are not fighting in the open field, as
if they should give themselves ovc
to Spain by taking such hazard.
He also asserts that the Cubans
have no government, and in answer
to his claim, it will he well to eons
aider the subjoined facts:
The belhge; ent Cubans established
in the island a republican govern
ment nearly two years ago, and
they have maintained it since thai
time against 200,000 soldiers of the
Spanish army.
The existence of President Cis¬
neros and his cabinet, is a fact.
Their official residence is at Cubi¬
tus, a place strongly fortified against
Spanish attack.
The existence of a Cuban constitu
tion is a fact. The constitution was
proclaimed at Jimaguajri by an as¬
sembly of representatives of al! the
provinces of Cuba, and it is enforced
and respected throughout the Cuban
country.
It is a fact that from the western
exti’emily of Cape May si, there is
hardly any lerritory outside the
forts which guard Havana, whereon
Cubans and Spaniards have not
shed their blood in armed con¬
flict.
It is a fact lhat a series of battles,
and not merely the skirmishes ol
guerrilla warfare, have been lough 1
111 Cuba since February, 1895 . The
action al Peralejo, where Martinez
Campos was routed by Maceo. and
where the Spanish General Sanio
eildes was killed, was not a skirmish
but a battle the most serious in
which Lhat brave and trained sol
dier, Martinez Campos, ever partic¬
ipated. The fierce engagements a
Coliseo, Calmete, Mai Tiempo, Car
carajieara, and Saratoga, in which
the Cubans weie commanded b)
either Gomez or Maceo, were bat¬
tles also, fought by more than
6,000 men on each side.
It is an undeniable fact that
ihe six provinces into which the
laud is divided, namely, Dinar
iiio, Havana, Matanza-, Las
E’uerio Principe, anG Santiago de
Cuba, there exists today a stale of
war, acknowledged by the .Spanish
government exhausting the Spani»t>
treasur), compelling Spain to re.-ori
tor credit to all the European mar
keis for money, and finally obliging
tier lo appeal dt-peralely lo bei
own people as nations do in solemn
mi.meniH of defeat and distress.

LUNATIC ASYLUM.
of the Senate and
House Committees.
Senator Stewart, of the twenty
seventh district, chairman of the
senate committee on lunatic asy
lum, has submitted the report
that the committee found the build¬
ings and grounds of the asylum in
good condition. The accommoda¬
tions are now ample to take care
V all patients applying for admit¬
tance, which has not been so until
within the last year.
'The finances of the institution
save been administered during the
vast two years faithfully and econ
vmically. The system of book
.eeping is thorough, minute, exact
nd easily understood.
The accounts show a balance on
land on the ist of September,
896, ofT7,781. xo.
The total number of inmates at
present confined in the institution
1
is 2,014
The following appropriations
vere recommended: For support
and maintenance of the institution
for the year 1897, $ 280,000; for
support and maintenance for the
year 1898, $290,000.
For duplicate water main, $5,000.
The house committee, which
visited the asylum, reported the
institution to be well kept, and
commended Dr. Powell’s manage¬
ment in terms of high praise. The
expenditure of $100,000 for addi¬
tional buildings by the trustees
,vas economically made, and the
accommodations are now ample.
The insurance carried on the
property, $260,000, is not equal to
me fourth of the value of the pro¬
perty, which is over $1,000,000,
md an increase of the amount is
recommeded. .
The farm and vegetable garden
is reported as a valuable addition
to the institution. The staff of
physicians has plenty to do, but
there was no neglect of the sick.
The food was inspected and
found to be good in quality and
.vholesome and well cooked. The
committee says there is no ground
for complaint as to the manage¬
ment, and recommends an appro¬
priation af $280,000 for 1897 and
7290,000 for 1898 for maintenance,
and $5,000 for a duplicate water
main. _ ...._________

HOPE.
Hope is the essential principle of the urn
verse. It is compatible w ith all the renown.
laudable efforts of mankind.
Whether it be in astron mv, mathematics,
the most s ul stirring verse or rhyme.
Aristotle had faith; and hoped to gain the
to his world-wide theory, is why he

Consult the sciences, kind reader, and you
will find ample conviction to sustain this hy
pothesis. ipher
Far back in the'dark ages, Chtist
Columbus, that grand and immortal man, con¬
ceived the idea that beyond Ute old world
shined the sun of the new, which led o th
discovery of the new continent; and which
resulted in spreading of the Christian doc
trine.
P>thagoras, who lived in the 6 th century
before Chris , made many wonderful inves¬
tigations in music ; a d wished the sonometer
to be engraved on his last earthly resting place.
Now let us consider Hope, pertaining to
the Christian religion; which is ihe main stand
point of realization of tiie glorious theory of
the resurrection ot the dead.
By Dope the Christian implotes others to
come to the divine kingdom, knowing that by
his good influence his Celestial reward will be
secured. Hope and faith are so near a-km,and
iherefoie it becomes a task of some difficulty
10 draw the boundary line of the two qualitres
which govern the entire terrestrial Sphere.
No adequate joy but what is enchance by
this absolute, indefinite, ruling principle—
hope.
Destitute nature of hope,and woeful dtmora
lized will be the creatuies.
Even the most deplorable condition of man¬
kind is made more endurable if there can be
some vain delusion to be obtainable or be
hoped for.
“Hope springs eternal in the hitman breast,”
is what some one has most beautifully said.
For what is life but hope of the future,
Without hope our.pleasure of to-day;
Would be made -M deso ate and dreary,

And make their pathway fair;
