If Grover Clevelsnd were president of these United States something would happen. Congress would not have to wait long on Grover. Nearly three years ago, in his memorable message in December, 1896, be put Spain squarely on notice that the time might come when this government would intervene in Cuba’s behalf, in tbe interest of common humanity. Among other things be said : “When tbe inability of Spain to 1 deal successfully with the insurrection shall have become manifest, and it shall have been demonstrated that her sovereignty is extinct in Cuba for all purposes of its rightful existence, and when a hopeless struggle for its re-eetablishment ehall have degenerate ed into a strife that will mean nothing more than the useless sacrifice of human life and the utter destruction of tbe very subject matter of tbe con* flict, a situation will bn presented in which our obligations to tLe sovereign*, ty of Spain will be superseded by higher obligation, which we can bard* ly hesitate to recognize and to dis charge.”—Thomasville Enterprise.
