A Press Censor for Santiago

The Appointment of a press censor for Santiago de Cuba is one of the strange things that are happening nowadays. Those who have been taught that freedom of speech and of the press is one of the cornerstones of liberty will be slow to receive this new mode of doing things. This may appear as a small matter to some, but it marks an unmistakable tendency of these times in this glorious republic. America is forsaking her principles, and will lead the world to ruin. This is not a matter of human speculation, but the sure word of prophecy reveals it. The truest patriotism now is to stand by the cross of Christ, and hold the blazing torch of Inspiration high, so that all men may see the meaning of these thrilling times.
