for ge uine sympathy, and practical aid in establish-

ing a sovernment that shall be at once free, orderly,

and progressive. Hayti, weak in her isolation, and

a prey to internal dissensions and evil war, is al-

ready feeling her way toward annexation to this

country, as the only means of saving that republican

form of government which her people love so well,

but which they have been unable to work ont suc-

cossfully for themselves, as well as of developing her

immense resources, With Cuba and Hayti integral

parts of the American Union, the people of the other

islands will soon perceive it to be their interest to

exchange the dependent condition of colonists for

citizenship in a good Commonwealth and that point

once reached, nothing short of annexation will satis-

fy their aspirations The signs of the times” clear-

ly indicate that the age of colonies is drawing to a

close, As far as the Western Hemisphere is con-

eerned, throngh the wretched management of Spain

they have ceased to exist almost throughout the

length and breadth of the Southern half of this Con-

tinent. Other and better agencies will bring the

colonial system to an end in the Northern half of the

Continent also, and the islands adjacent thereto, as

well as in all the tropical regions of the New World.

It is not improbable that before the rising generation

shall have passed away the Stars and Stripes will

be floating over the whole of the West Indies.
