Hi xuxgpon county's prianiaries will be held
May 31. A programme similar to that in Blair
county is being carried out. The Republican
force are solidly aligned forElkin and the inde-
jiendents arc keeping bauds off in the hope that
the Indiana couutain will be the nominee. Elkin
will stump the county the week before the elec
tion, as he did in Blair. It is thought Watres
will also be on the ground.
Ren. Miles on Spheres of Duty.
For some mysterious reason a letter written by
Gen. .Nelson A. Miles last January to Mr,
George F. Washburn of Boston has been given
to the publie given out for publication not at
Boston but at Washington. In this letter Gen
Miles says:
"I have not been mid nin not now a seeker
for 1'ivsiilcntiiil honors. My ambition has
ever been to faithfully serve my countrv in
whatever sphere duty may have dictated;
this will be my sole purpose In the future."
We are not aware that there was either in
January or in February, or that there is now in
any especial occasion for a publie defini
tion by Gen. Miles of his views on duty and
ambition. Nor has the apprehension that Gen.
Miles may desibe to run for President become so
general as to call forau y specific statement from
bim.
Indeed, if (Jen. Miles should see fit to declare
himself an active candidate for nomination by
one party or another in 1001, it . is not likely
that anylxnly would arise to object, or that a pro
found political situation would result from the
announcement.
In view of these undoubted facts, the apparent
acre v hieh the Lieutenant-General commanding
the Army hat taken to avoid the formula which
Gen. Sherman established for a declination that
was meant to be positive, will strike most of Ger,
Miles' fellow citizens as moderately humorous.

LITERARY NOTES.
Cosmopolitan.
"What Women like in Men' "What Men
Like in Women," and "Husband and Wives,"
are the titles of a series of very interesting papers
b'v Raffoed Tike, the third of which appears in
The Cosmopolita n for April. The same num
ber of The Cosmopolitan treats of Prince
Henry's visit, with a series of beautifully printed
photographs, under the title of "A Clever Em
peror and a Confederation ol Nations." F. Hop
kixsox Smith, Iseral Zajjgwill, Bret
Harte and Maarten Maabteks are among
the other contributors to this number, which is
unusually good in fiction.
Our Work in Cuba.
The time approaches fr United States with
drawal from Cuba and for the surrender of the
insular government to Cuban hands, in accord
auce with the declaration of the United States
Congress at the time intervention was undertaken
Naturally the mind iuclinea to review the work
which has been done in that island by our gov'
ernment during its temporary stewardship, and
future prospects of Cuba as they are affected by
our doings there. Such a review is on the whole
most gratifying. The work done in war, in
ridding the island forever of Peuinsular niisgov
ernment, was highly important, and was, of
course, directly in line with the long cherished
desires of the majority of the Cuban people.
Still more impoitant has been the work done in
peace, in abolishing the abuses whicli had made
the Spanish Government intolerable and in intro
ducing the improved administrative systems
which the island needed and desired even beyond
its own consciousness. The reformation of the
governmental system, the practical creation of a
general school system, the sanitary regeneration of
the cities, are concrete memorials of the American
intolerable evils there, this country could never
gain view with indifference similar evils in that!
island, no matter from what source they arose.
The purpose, or one purpose, of our interven
tion was to establish in Cuba a government com
petent to fulfil the functions of government in a
manner satisfactory to American standards.
That purpose must be achieved, not only now
and in the immediate future, but permanently.
Free Cuba must never be permitted to become
the thorn in our side that Spanish Cuba was for
so many years. That consideration invests with
more than ordinary significance the coming cere
mony of surrender of the island to insular govei n-
ment . It is incubent upon us not only to give
the-Cuban government a start, but to give it a
right start, and not only that, either, but also to
give it, so far as we cau, the power to keep on in
the right direction. That is dictated, not only
by abstract principles of truth and justice and
morality, but also by every selfish consideration
of our own peace, comfort and welfare.
We do not want to lake Cuba into the Union.
We do not want to be compelled again to inter
vene with force in Cuban affairs. We certainly
do not want to have a demoralized and re vol u
tionary Cuba as a thorn in our side. The wel
fare of the United States demands that the ex
periment of Cuban self-government Bhall be sue
cessful. Therefore selfish interest should prompt
us to do all we cau to make it successful and to
give it the means of maintaining a permanent,
success. What those means are can scarcely
need detailed explication. The troubles of Cuba
have hitherto been chiefly economic industria
and commerical. What she needs alwve all else
is business prosperity. That secured, her people
will be contented and tranquil and her govern
ment will be stable and efficient What, then,
is needed for the crowning of our work in Cuba
should be evident to all. We must give her the
opportunities she needs in trade. Our markets
are the only ones in the world in which she can
make suitable profits. It is to us and us alone
that she looks and must lode for csonomica
salvation. It is our duty, and it will be cnor
mously to our profit, to meet that urgent need
occupation in which tlw TTnitnl Slnfoa mnv moll
feel satisfaction and for which the Cubans freely I 1,C"' ani1 to m0cth PromPll7- I dioul
cxpress their gratitude.
It is nn immeasurably better island which we
shall hand over to the Cubans than that which
we took from Spain. But it is to bo remeubered
that our responsibility for it does not end with
this foimal relinquishment. Thc very terms of
our act of intervention four years ago, as well as
other even more explicit acts since that timp, im
pose upon the United States in practical per
petuity a certain moral guardianship of that is
land. Having once intervened to put an end to
have been met before this. The Cubau govern
ment should have been permitted to enter' upon
'ts duties with a liberal scheme of commerica
reciprocity already in operation between the two
countries. If that, unhappily, is not to be, at
least we should see to it that such a scheme is
adopted coincidently with the establishment of
that government. That will be the best possible
guarantee to the success of that government, and
the best po Esible crowning of the beneficent work
which the United States has done in Cuba
