It may not be correctly answered, hut the an-wr will have an Important ht siring on rul*a'a fu ture. If tho convention t*hows that It has •i proper ui*pr<c..ttinn of the work It has been choeen to do, romlucts Its pr<K-ee<l- Inys with dignity and deal* with the questions before It In u spirit of liberal* Ity and bruad*inlnd<ln*a p fore ign g*>vrrn menta will Ki\e tho new rmtion u warm welcome. If, on the other hand. It* pro feeding * are marked by disorder, ami a dl“<j>oeltlon Is nmmf st| to pay no regard to the wishes of the Pnlted Htatea, th* new r |Hibllc will. In all probability, find little encouragement anywhere. In his speech op tting th*’ convention Gen. VVikml said that It was expected that the convention, after it had formed a eon- 4 stit iit tor, w ould agree upon what It thought should he the relation*, between Culm and the United Htatw. Some of thf • 'uhan leudeis w*re !n< lined to resent the jniiouni t m ut In the President s proclam ation that the convention would he r-x* pec ted to outline its wthti* us to the re lations between the two countries. They said that the relations between the Unit ed States and Cuba should be the same as thoae between Cuba ui.d other foreign countries. It Is probable that the convention will t ike a different view when It rumen to consider the mutter seriously. It will be come apparent to at least the most thoughtful of them that Cuba will not lie In a position to stand alone for many tears after It undertakes self-government It will la* n long time before It has either an army or a navy of any considerable proportions. Unless the fulled States were Its friend It would have to yield to the demands of any power, however unjust the demands might be. Resides, there are likely to Ik; Internal dissensions, more or less serious In their clwsractrr. until lh> new government g*is upon firm basis. These dissensions may result In revolu tions unless the government Is supported by the strong arm of the I'nlled States. Cuba will want some concession In the way of tariffs. If she Is to get them site will have to make concession*. Asa mat ter of fact the I'nlltsl States ought to be gteatly favored In all commercial mat ters To them Cuba will owe her lntle pendence, and without their assistance she will hardly be able to maintain her self as an Independent state. When tin* convention give* Ihls matter the consideration It Is entitled to It will doubtless come to the conclusion thot the Prealdi nt was not mistake n when he re commend* *1 that the convention outline the relations that are to exist between the rolled HlatM) and Cuba. Representalive dealairn Wright s dis pensary proposition apparently contains about all of the obnoxious feature* of the gouth Carolina law, which has born so pregnant of trouble and so fruitful of violence and bloodshed. Why Mr. Wright, a temperance advocate, should wish to create a middle ground between prohibi tion and open saloons Is not easily under stood. Few of the counties which now have license would be apt to adopt the dispensary, while n number of !hoe that ore now "dry" might be expet trd in vote to toke "a little Ihiuor In thetr'n" through the dispensary. If Mr Wright's proposi tion were* adopted, the chances are that much more liquor would Ik* sold and drunk In Oeorgta than under the to a| option law. It will Ik; an evil day for the temperance cause In this state when the substance ot real reform under local option Is dropped to grasp at the shadow of reform through dispensaries or prohi bition.

If the matter were taken tip hy some of our influential cltlsens. while there Is i grateful feeling abroad, produced by Mr Shutter's KHienius offer, more than half Ihe amount needed for n monument might, in all probability, he obtained When Ihe wealthy cltlaens had mode their con tributions It Is safe to say there are hundreds who would be willing to con tribute small amounts. A monument to Oglethorpe, placed somewhere |n Hull street, has hern tnlkcd of for many years With the start whlen Mr. Shotter's contribution would give the work of raising a fund sufficient to erect It, the desire of the people In this matter might easily he gratllhd.

The Inquiry that the board of army offi cers lx making Into the IS-font project for (tsvannuh harbor Is of very great Im portance to this city. As Is well known Ihe survey for the IS-fnot channel has been made. The present Itoard Is to de termine the tc.isltillttv of the project. There la no doubt that deeper water ot this port would be of vast benefit to the commerce to this city. Since the com pletion of the gft-foot project there has been n very great Increase In the tonnage and commerce of the port The Increase doubtless is due In a great measure to lower ocean frrlght rates, and the lower rntes have come In consequence of the fai t that the harbor now accommodate* steamers of very large carrying capacity. A channel from the city's wharves to the sea, having a depth of 2t feet, would atlll further lower the ocean freight rates, and would be a powerful factor In bu.til ing up the city's commerce. In view of the number of great railroad systems hav ing thetr seaboard termlmils here and the very large extent of i-ountry for which this oily Is the seaboard outlet. II Is probable that Congress will regard with fitvor the deeper water project, even though a very considerable appropria tion will he required to earry It out.
