The Culture OF CURRANTS.- There
is no small fruit that we cultivate that
gives Il more generous return than the
currant, if properly managed. The
fruit is cooling and healthful and should
be used more generally than it is dur
ing its season. The ease with which
the currant Is propagated, has made it
common i'll most of the gardens of this
section of the country: but as Il rule
they bear IA small poor fruit. managed
as they are generally in the absolutely

well-cultivated plants. 1t makes little
difference what the variety is. one can

MATTERS AND THINGS IN s.
CROIX.
G. A. HAGEMANN, CAND, PoLYr.
LAST Article.)

LAST Artlcle.)
In the former article I e%ndeavoured to
show, that the cause If the unfortunate
state of things in St. Croix is first and tore
most to be attributed to the exceeding de-
fectiye agriculture, and next, to the anti
ouated and unskilful manner in which the
sugar is manufactured. II the result Of the
researches made had not been this, these
lines would never have appeared, for then
the planters would have been right in their
complaints, and the conclusion one would
have arrived at would have been, that the
island was, upon the whole, not tit torsugar
cultivation, and that, therefore, all capital
and industry that might be applied in help
ing her on would be lost. II is, however,
otherwise, and, as it is, the conviction is
justified that skilled husbandry and a ra-
tional application Of capital will both be
able to save the island and give a good f.
nancial result.
But a thorough reform in all matters
must indeed take place. At present the
average crop of the island merely covers
the average expenses of the working of the
estates, ard next to nothing remains for in
terest on mortgages and advances, for which
as high as 9 p. CT. interest is paid. The
revenue from an average crop is now calcu-
lated at /:
IA mill. lbs. Sugar at 50 Cents. 1926, 900
Rum and Molasses. ......... 10000
Revenue 100000
Expenses with carrying on estates 100000
C,yo1rs Geo o0O
But were it possible to work estates as
wei as in Barbados, where the average
crop per acre has been 1900 lbs, there
would,-even supposing that this manner
of working them required considerably
greater outlay, which perhaps is not neces-
sary,-be the following result
1900 acres at 1900 lbs. Sugar=25, 10000 lbs.
Sugar. which, calculated at 8. rs Cts. per. lb.
6 $3.50
Rum and molasses q value of Sugar)3l8,750.
Revenue $685. 900
Expenses with the working
of estates. 675,oOO
Surplus S 100000
Whilst the island, as things are now, can
only pay interest on its 1900 acres at
s20o4S3,4oO. 900, with 100000, that is,
scarcely 2 per Cent, it will be able with
toIerably good agriculture to pay interest
on the same capital at the rate of Is p. ct.
And more than that, with improved meth
DDS, the old, abandoned cane-land would
naturally again come under cultivation,
and thus the island would further increase
it's capacity of producing and its prosperi-
ty.
In the foregoing we have been occupied
exclusively with agriculture, and the re-
forms which ought to be introduced to
bring it up, but how is the poor planter to
introduce Improvements which, during the
FIRST years, will exact pecuniary sacrifices.
Whence is the capital required to be de-
rivedS Although the principal fault in
St. Croix is in its agriculture, it is on the

Clubs or Saloons ?
| eavenworth Times, June Sd

This city supports an institution
known as the "Leavenworth Club"
The rooms of the club are furnished
elegantly. Magnificent mirrors and
costly paintings adorn the walls.
The floors are carpeted with body
Brussels of the best patterns, and
about everything there is an air of
wealth and comfort, without strik.
Ing manifestations of shOddy pat
rOnage. The patrons of the club
are composed of those who have, or
think they have, enough Of money
over and above their every day
needs to indulge the occasional ex-
travagance of a bottle of choice
wine, or join a party of convivial
friends i'm a game of draw-poker,
where the stakes are nOtlarge enough
to make the winner rich or drive
the loser to despair. Hence, it
will be seen that drinking, gamb-
ling and card-playing, are carried
on In the club rooms. The young
men and the middle aged men who
frequent the club, pursue honorable
avOcations i'm life. They get their
money honestly for aught we know,
and if they part with 1t quickly
around the gaming table, they
simply verify the truth of an old but
excellent adage. Now, while we do
not dispute the right of a man to
spend his money as his fancy may
suggest, we unhesitatlngly deny the
right Ofany individual, or club of in.
dividuals, to sell liquor,
In LeavenwOrth without license,
The club of which We write paws
neither city or government license.
The payment Is evaded throughsome
''technioality," At this time there
is a desire upon the part MANY IN
this community to avail themselves
of the advantages of the aforesaid
technicality, OF one just like n.
hence various movements are on
foot, looking to the Organization of
clubs. This plan is resOrted to be-
cause the law f0rbids the sale of
lquor and the paying of cards in the
saloons and beer gardens of the CITY
on the Sabbath day. Even the paG-
ment of both the city and govern
ment license does not guarantee
that right, and the only way it
seems, that it can be obtained, Is for
each saloon keeper to organize his
Customers into a club, and open out
a suit Of elegantly furnished rooms
in the rear DR. ON the second floor,
and do business under the "techni-
cality act"
1t Is very well known, also, that
the church-going people of this city
always countenanced the
"Leavenworth Club" by reeogniz-
ing its members as representatives
OF the moral element. It has never
been the fashion to hurl anathemas
from the pulpit at this ''institution,n
and neither was it the custom of
the crusaders to punish the patrons
Of the club with their raids. In
view Of these facts no one need be
surprised at the increasing populari-
y Of clubs, and the evident de-
Of liquor sellers to in
,rease the number Of such establish.
nents.
