preservation of all Ilm buttlellelds, hut
there would be little tlilllculty in mak?

Virginian agrees with Its contemporary

Recurring to '.lie tt toggles of the Cu
b ans for Independence, it is quite plain
that popular sympathy in this COlllltiy
is clearly in favor of the patriots us
agUinSt thell Spanish oppressors. Jt is
also plain that ihe feeling is not horn
of any desire for aim. Mit ion. As the
New York Sun remark!., annexation is
not at this time in the minds ol the
American people. The) know that
what t *iii,.i Is aiming at is iiidepeudctic .
ami with that they sympathize unsol
llsrhly ami instinctively, us they have
ever sympathized with all efforts ol
American communities to throw off a
Kiii'opeau yoke Continuing the Sun
says: "Bui there is another strong ele?
ment in th.e matl.-r. The tit rod tics of
Spain in Cuba appeal i?. ihe sentiment
of humanity, it is quite enough that a
trans-Atlantic kingdom should hold
control over an American possession in
virtue of Ihe desire of the latter to re?
main dependent; but when that control
can only i>e maintained by despotic
cruelty ami by going outside tin- well
established rules of civilized warfare,
no wonder that the feelings of Ameri?
cans arc enlisted on the side of free
Cuba.
' The question is how fat the adminis?
tration is ready to respond to this senti?
ment of the people by such practical ac?
tion as Is in Its power."
Tili: WENT \ i. Vit II l.li AS THE
so i i'll.
The remarks of Mr. Wm E. Smyth,?.
chairman of the National Committee of
the National irrigation Congress, ie
cently held ut Albuquerque, New Mex?
ico, concerning the South lu Its rela?
tions to Immigration, gives some idea
of the alarm the enterprise oi our peo?
ple in that direction is causing the
West.
in tie- course ?l im. remarks Mr.
Sinythe -aid- "We cannot disguise the
fact that the South is to-day our ag?
gresive competitor in the matter of at?
tracting m-w population W ith superb
enterprise it is pushing for people."
The Manufacturers' Record, writing
on the subject, says that the expres?
sions of Chairman Smyhf- strikingly
Indicates the way in which the con?
stantly Increasing tide of Immigration
lo the South has atiacteed tic- ullCll
tloh of Western investors ami land?
owners realize the fact It says:
"The thousand of miles of Southern
lamis. which offer every advantage to
tin- tiller ol the soil in Hie way of clim?
ate, variety of crops ami fertility of
land, present a combination ol attrac?
tions which an tur more-tempting to
tlie settler than must of the Western
country. The fact that in mane States
not onlv N, w Mexico, but Kansas. Ihe
Dakotas ami Nebraska, tho farmer
must cither depend upon Irrigation, and
pays so much foi securing an ndequtc
water supply, or he subject to drouth at
least thn.r four mouths In the year
is one which is being taken into con?
sideration mote and more as settlers
throughout the country are being edu
cated as to the attractlonsof the s< uth
ern country. As u general rule tic
1
lands in (lit! Sontli require no irrigation
whtitevi r: consequently, here la a great
Item of expense which Is saved. Add ti>
this the fact lhat o farmer can db work
of some Mini in crop-riilslng every
month in the yeaV; thai he can fre?
quently raise three und occasionally
four crops oft the saun land In a. year:
thai he can produce his own food sup
pllcsi Including meat, at home; that in*
has an abundance of fuel in the forests
.11 in- door, ami does not need t" pay s~
I., jin per t?.11 for coal to keep him com?
fortable in tin- winter: that ihe winters
arc so short that they can scarcely be
called winters :is compared *\iih those
in Iii?' West, and we can readily see
why Ihe Smith has caused so much
alarm among the land-owners west of
the .Mississippi river."
