SENATOR SPOONER OPPOSES
THE -ANNEXATION OF CUBA
Washington, Oct. 12.—Srnntor Spoon
er, of Wisconsin, has sounded the llrst
discordant note In the chorus that the
-manifest destiny" of Cuba Is annexa
tion.
“In the present condition of Cuban
affairs," said he, "I believe It unwise
to speculate on the probability of the
annexation of the Island. The good
filth of this government Is Involved.
We should not talk of annexation until
Ihe t’uhans nsk us to annex them.”
One result of the troubles In t’uba
and the apparent Inability of the peo
ple in innlntaln a stable government, Is
renewed agitation or the proposition
to withdraw the. treaty ceding the Isle
of l’lnes to Cuba and declaring that
Island to be American territory. Sen
ator Spooner, who Is one of the Influ
ential members of the committee on
foreign relations, refused to discuss
this phase of the case.

The droll little sketch entitled “The Harp of a Thousand Strings'* ap
peared muny yea in ago In n New Orleans newspaper. While Jonhua 8.
.Mori Im Is generally credited with the authorship, the claim* of other*
have been advanced from time to time, and the authorship appear* to be
almost iim cloudy a* the Identity of the writers of “Laugh nnd the World
Laughs With You,” ‘Vasey at the Bat,” and ”lf I Should Die Tonight.”
But, however cloudy may bo the Identity of the author, there I* no sug-
gextlon of hnxlnexn about the humor which Invest* the sketch Itself. “The
Harp of a Thousand String*” had scarcely more than attained the digni
ty of print when It was pounced upon by nearly every elocutionist nnd
chronic story teller In the country. Hundreds of. newspaper* reprinted It,
and In England It was frequently quoted as an admirable example of the
American humor.
All thin popularity was too much for It, however. Gorged with pros
perity, It lay down to a Hip Van Winkle slumber from which It has Just
l»een awakened for the readers of The Hcrap Book. Like Rip Van Winkle,
“The Harp of a Thousand String*" And* that during It* long sleep one
of It* old friend* ha* passed away. This Is the quaint old exhorter who.
combining business with theology, was so common In the Houth half a
century ago. Hometluies ho was a peddler, a patent medicine man.n light
ning rod agent, or, like the old fellow pictured In the *ketch, a Missis
sippi llat boat captain In search of a cargo, or with liquor to sell.
I limy say to you, my brethrlng, that
I am not an edlcated man, nn' I am
not one of them a* believe* that edten-
tlon 1* necessary for a Gospel-minis-
ter, for 1 believe the Lord edlcnte* HI*
preacher* Jest a* He wants ’em to be
edlcated; an* although I say It that
oughtn't to say It, yet In the state of
lndlanny, whar I live, thar^ no man
as gets bigger congregations nor what
1 git*.
Thar may be some hare today, my
brethrlng, as don't know what persua
sion I am uv. Well, I must say to you,
my brethrlng, that I'm a Hard-shell
Baptist. Thar's some folks ns don't
like the Hard-shell Baptists, but I'd
rather have a hard shell as no shell
at nil.
You see me here today, my brethrlng,
dressed up In fine clothes; you inout
think I was proud, hut I'ain not pnmd„
my brethrlng, ami although I've been a
preacher of the Gospel for twenty
years, an’ although I'm captlng of the
flat boat that lies at your landing, I’m
not proud, iny brethrlng.
1 am not gwlne to tell edzartly whar
my text may tie found; suffice to say.
it's In the led* of the Bible, nnd you'll
find It somewhar between the first
chapter of the book of Generation* and
the last chapter of the bo4>k of Revolu
tion*. nnd ef'you'll go and search the
Scriptures, you’ll not only find my tex
thar, but a great many other texes ns
will do you good to read, and my tex.
when >*4*\i shall find It, you shall find
it to reau thur.: »
“And he played on n harp uv a thou
sand strings, sperlt* uv Jest men made
perfeck."
My text, my brethrlng. leads me to
speak of sperlt*. Now, thar's a great
many kinds of sperlts In the world—
In the fuss place, thar's the sperlts as
some folks call ghosts, and thar's the
sperlts as some folk* call liquor, an*
I've got as good nn artlkel of them kind
of *|>erlt* on my fiat boat a* ever wo*
foteh down the Mississippi river; but
tbur's u great many other kinds of
sperlts, for the tex says, “He played on
a harp uv a t-h-o-u-s-and strings,
sperlts Uv Jest men made perfeck.”
But I tell you the kind uv sperlts as
I* meant In the text Is firt. That's tfie
kind uv xperit* as I* meant In the tex.
hmUiHnr Now. thar's A great
many kinds of fire In the world. In the
fuss place, there’s the common sort of
fire you light your cigar or pipe with,
and then thar's foxfire and camphlre,
fire before you’re ready, nnd fire and
fall bark, and many other kinds uv
fire, for the tex says, “He played on
the harp uv a thousand strings, sper
lts of Jest men made,, perfeck.”
1 But. I'll tell you the kind* of fire as
Is meant In the tex, my brethrlng—It's
hall fixer nn' that’s-the kind uv fire as
a great many uv you'll come to, ef you
don't do .better nor what you have been
doin'—for “He play^jt on a harp uv a
thousand strings, sperlts uv Jest men
made perfeck."
-Now, the different sort* of fire In the
world may he likened unto the different
K rsuaslons of Christians In the world.
the first place, we have the Piscapu-
llons. an' they are a high-sailin' nnd
highfalutin' set, and they may be lik
ened unto a turkey buzxard that files up
Into the air. and he goes up, and up.
ami up, till he looks no bigger than
your finger nail, and the fust thing
you know, he cum* down, and Is a-fillln
himself on the carklss of a dead hose
by the side of the road, and "He played
on a harp uv a thousand strings, sper
lts uv Jest men made perfeck."
And then thar's the Method!*, and
they may be likened unto the squlrrll
runntn' up Into a tree, for the Metho-
dix beleeve* in gwlne from one degree
of grace to another, and finally on to
perfection, and the squirrel goes up
and up, nnd up and up. and he Jumps
from limb to limb, and branch to
branch, nnd the fust thing you know
he falls, and down he cums kerfiumlx.
and that's like the Mcthodls', for they Is
allers fallen from* grace, ah! and “He
played on a harp uv a thousand strings,
sperlts of Jest men made perfeck.”
And then, my brethrlng, thar's the
Ifciptlst, a!)!, and they have been llkepgd
untp a 'possum on a 'slmmon .tree, and
thunders may roll and the earth may
quake, hut that ’possum clings thar
still, ah! and you may shake one foot
loose, and the other's thar, and yotf
may shake all feet loose, and h^' laps
his tall around the limb, and clings,
and he clings furever. for "He played
on the harp uv a thousand strings,
srtrits uv Jest men made perfeck.”
