EXTENT. POPULATION. AND RE-
SOURCES OF CUBA.

Ihe Island OF Cuba is Il prize worth
gaining. It has been well designated
..the Queen of the Antilles" for there is
no island in the Western Hemisphere to
compare with It. It's greatest length is
$50 miles ; lis breadth varies from 1870
to 25 miles, and its total area is 4S,4S9
square miles being nearly quail TO The
area of Belgian, Holland, Denmark and
S~iizr rland taken together. 1t has u soil
of the utmost fertility, yielding many nf
the most precious articles of commerce.,
and ia the mineral kingdom its resources
are very considerable, It's copper miues
being among The most productive to be
found in the Western Hemisphere. It's
population, according to the last census,
taken in 1869. is $685. 3S so.ls, of whom
764 $50 are whites. aud 594,4SS colored,
225 93S of these being OF free cnndltia"
and 369,550 slaves Allowing for increase
since 1862, ii is safe TO assert that during
the last fifty years the population of Cuba
has been trehled; for In 1917, according
to the census for that year, it was only
551,99S, whereas at present it must he at
least a million and "a half It is mole
worthy that the increase of the white
population has been of late very much
more rapid than hat of the colortd por-
tion. Thus in 1916 the whites stood at
425,767, and The colored at 472 1855,
while in 1869 the former had swrIfed to
1854, $50, and the latter reached only
594,4S8. In fact, the white population
has almost doubled itself in the short
space of 16 years. The increase of the
slave population since 1917 has been
greatly aided by the African slave trade,
which, in spite of solemn treaties for its
suppression, 10 which she is a party,
Spain has encouraged and protected dur
ing the whole of this time. Within this
same period the material prosperity Of
Cuba has advanced rapidly. The island
has now 81 different lines of railway of
q total length Of over eight hundred miles,
and the construction of these roads has
been attended with an extraordinary ex-
tension of cultivation. Some idea of the
growth of Cuban prosperity may be
found in the fact that between 1927 and
1850 the exports had more han dou-
bled in amount, having swelled from

THE FREE PRESS AND RUTLAND
Fridays issue Of the Burlington Free
Press has curt criticism upon the
HERALD. attempting in sentence to say
to rs that disposition is evinced by the
Herald "to pitch in,". because they gave
us some wholesome facts recently which
perhaps we were not before aware Of IN
reference to Rutland politics. While the
Free Press evinces a peculiar disposition
to be the censor and leader Of the Yer
mont Press, and to give advice to locall-
ties in reference to their political rela-
tions, yet it is just such pitching in to
Rutland politics that adds fuel to the
flame, and Injuries rather than aids the
cause it assumes to serve.
The editor of the Free Press also COM
plains that all the news items taken from
its columns, are not credited. Mr. Bene-
dict is as well aware as we can tell him,
that no neaos print in these days attempts
to credit all the local items that are taken
from contemporary journals But on
this score we are willing aud ready to
compare notes by an examination of the
files Of the two papers on this point.
Hardly day passes but that local and
other items are taken and credited to that
journal, but oftentimes weeks elapsc when
item after item is taken by the Free
Press, and the words, Rutland HERALD,
are not attached to them and such was
the case in the very issue in which com,
plant is made of the HERALD. Brother
Benedict, let us take the files of the Free
Press and HERALD, and look over ac-
counts on this score, and see how we
stand. We admit that there are ridicu-
lous mistakes oftentimes i'll our journal,
but with our present force, they are una
voidable As to the Free Press grimaces.
and the nicknames they apply TO Us, we
have only to say we can stand them II
they can afford to make them.
