The question is whether the present heroic war for inde- pendence shall attain the success which ms just in sight, or whether it shall be smothered by delusive promises of “au- tonomy,” combined with criminal neglect by the people of the United States. If the utter result occurs, then there will be nply a repetition of the ghastly record years and years pasi. Tnere will be a f mainly from ex haustion, then a new government in tur- bulent Spain, then fresh outrages upon the Cubans, and’ then a new revolt, with all its a nt bloodshed and di The ce, paniards ave as unfit to m ernment of colonies as a tribe of would be. Experience has proved thi: and over. Their savage cruelty, innate in the race, and developed fu men, women and childrea by their atrocious “sport” of bull baiting, has kcst them every one of the enormous colonies they once possessed, ex- cept a few unhappy islands, which they hold by the use of their fleet, against con- stant struggles for liberation. 1t is really a crime against humanity and civilization to allow Spain to retain any colonies. They ought to be taken from her by common consent of the civilized nations, piracy and the slave trade have be pressed. History repeats itself. In the struggle of our forefathers against less desperate odds than confront the Cubans there came a time when the British government was willing to concede more than the colonists had asked before the war began. It was a severe temptation—some were inclined to to it. But the truly great men of that epoch sternly refused. They had put their hands to the plow and would not turn back. ‘They did not have the cause to doubt the good faith of England which the Cubans have to disbelieve the faith of Spain, but they saw that concessions wrung by force after a long fight are very different from those granted through a sense of justice before any fight begins. They saw that those concessions did not pay for the patriot blood that had been shed or the terrible sufferings undergone. So it is in the case of the Cubans. God grant that their long agony may not be rendered of no avail by this delusive figment of “au- tonomy”—to be withdrawn at the next turn of the whirligig of government in anarchic Spain. Nor can the United States escape responsibility for the result, what- ever it may be. We have been echoing too long in regard to Cuba the question of Cain, “Am I my brother's keeper?” PHILADELPHIAN, December 17, 1897. Se Biological Society Officers.
