Cuban Planters Ruined.

New YORK, March 25.-Sugar is selling
at about the lowest price it ever reached,
and many Cuban residents of New York
are eager speculative buyers in anticipation
of steady advance. But they may be dis.
appointed. The recent progress of the beet
root sugar industry in Germany and Russia
has been immense, and this, together with the
deplorable condition of financial affairs In
Cuba, may drive prices still lower. Mr.. Lou
bat who has Just returned from Havana, says:
''That wonderful island is absolutely
ruined. saw men whom knew in Paris
when they were living on incomes from
S25, 900 to $50, 900 who have to stay at
home now, being unable to derive One-tenth
of that income from the same plantations.
am told that the Government taxes
amounted to $50, 100000, and the whole
crop was not worth $685., 900, 900. The Span
ish Government and the German beet-root
competition are killing Cuba"

The Most Heroic Figure.

Gordon is without doubt the most
heroic figure of the day, and his mar
velous ride to Khartoum will live in
history with the expedition to Marsha.
Wide as is the difference between the
campaign of the Thousand and the
Journey of solitary, unarmed man,
the sublime heroism with which Carl
baldi hurled his little band against the
Neapolitan kingdom was closely akin
to that with which Gordon rode alone
to meet foe that had eXterminated
armies. Between Assouan and khar-
toum the road swarmed with rebels
filled with hatred of Egyptian and En-
glish rule and maddened with Moham-
medan fanaticism, but Gordon did not
hesitate to make his way through them.
His confidence that he bears charmed
life so long as Providence has work for
him to do was justified by the result.
He reached khartOum, where his au-
thority is as absolute and unquestioned
as it could be were he at the head OF
an English army corps. The secret OF
Gordon's faith is his religious faith.
The source of his power is the convic-
ton among the people that he is as
just as he is fearless.
1t must be confessed that the course
pursued by Gordon since he reached
Khartoum will suggest the suspicion
that he may have passed the narrow
line, which, in some cases, divides re-
ligious exaltation from lunacy. He has
publicly burned the whips of the Egypt
ian rulers, and the book in which the
debts due from the wretchcd inhabit-
ants to the Egyptian treasury were re-
corded. This was a humane and just
measure, and the spectacular way In
which Gordon carried it out was well
adapted to impress an Oriental commit
nifty. To this act, however, were added
a general Jail delivery and the burning
of the Jail. Without doubt horrible
acts of oppression had been perpetrat-
ed in the Khartoum Jail, and without
doubt many of the prisoners whom
Gordon found in the jail were innocent.
At the same time, how can sane man
imagine that town like khartoum,
inhabited, according to all Europeans
who have visited it, by the worst ruff
ans that the slave-trade has produced,
be kept in order without a jaiIP A COM
munity of Quakers might perhaps be
governed for brief period by the law
of love, and without magistrates or
penal code, but Gordon is apparently
trying like experiment in town COM
pared with which Leadville or Dead
wood is a quiet Christian village.-M

Scenes in Tangiers.

just below the hotel and outside the
gate of the city is the soko or market
place. On Sundays and Thursdays 1t
is filled with motley crowd, who bring
game, meat, ecgs, fowls. and other
provisions from the surrounding coun-
try. |, is here that Gibraltar obtains
its supplies.
Here YOU see the genuine Bedouin
Arab. Wild and dirty rs he is, he is
clean when compared with the hOrrid-
| looking men from the Riff coast, de-
scendants OF the old pirates. They are
wild and untamed, and tiercer than
wild animals. They do not even cover
their heads. Their heads are closely
shaved after leaving lock by which they
fervently believe Mohammed will pull
them ,b to heaven. The Jews are very
numerous. They are known by their
peculiar dresses. They cringe to the
dust and put up with every insult SO as
to remain in Tangiers.
The noise and din in the market
place is Internal. AT least five thou
sand tongues are 1T work. You can
hardly force your way through the
crowd. Once on the outskirts you are
lost in great herds of cattle and strings
Of loaded donkeys from Barbary. These
little creatures carry wonderful loads.
They look small by the side of the
camels. These animals. relieved Of
their loads, are lying down in circle
with their fore-legs tied together. Near
them are numbers of goatskin tents,
filthy in the extreme, and only high
enough to sit under. The confusion is
terrible. Some of the men are banging
on drums, and others are playing the
khutah, which is infinitely worse than
the Moorish drum.
On passing through two gates we
came to fountain. 1t was surrounded
by mob of water-carriers. Tattered
rags futtered over their naked legs.
They fought tiercely for precedence in
filling their water skins. Women whose
faces were covered with the exception
of an eve crouched on the ground near
by, selling bread. The magnificent
Moor, in flowing white robe and spotless
turban, strutted majestically by, not
deigning to cast his naughty glance at
us. The streets swarmed with children
in various costumes. The small shops
were packed with men sitting cross
legged. Above, below, around, and
beneath there was dirt of every descrip-
ton. Fortunately for us, the viler
smells had been tempered by the re-
cent rains. In summer the stencil IS
said to be almost unbearable.
This morning we were awakened
early by great noise. We heard cries,
shouts, the beating of drums, the firing
of guns. and the steady tramp OF ami
mails, biped and quadruped. These
were the thousands who had filled the
