Ell PrOceSO del Sr. Valiente.

No ell deseo de la mas leve
reconvenci6n, nj adn siquiera ell
de pedir Justicia, pues esta va
sup onemos que Sc hara por los
encargados de adminiStrarla; solo,
81, un sentimiento de benevolencia
hacia ell senior Valiente, hombre
probado en- patri6ticos anteceden-
tes, es ell que nos mueve a tomar
la pluma para elevar a la superio-
ridad algunas considerations.
Hanse cumplido va clnco mese4
que por la Guardia Civil Sc inici6
un procedimiento en- ell pueblo de
Naranjito contra dicho senior y SUI
apreciable esposa; tres han sido
hasta ahora los Fiscales que ac-
tuaron en- la causa; larga la per
manencia de ellos y de los defen-
sores de los acusados en- dicho
pueblo.
La zozobra que todo clio ha
debido causar en- una familia de
las mas distinguidas en- ia local.
dad, paciica y honrada, es con-
siguiente; los sinsabores que,
por consecuencia de todo, habra
apurado nuestro correligionario,
el senior Valiente, Sc dejan adivi-
mar, sin necesidad de que los es-
peci6quemos. Uno tras otro, los
Senores Fiscales ha agravado la
situaci6n del encausado, 81 bien
creemos que, al hacerlo, procura-
rian ajustarse d la ley.
FL ell inicio de la causa ell senior
Valiente continue en- ell desem-
pefio del puesto de Alca.de de
dicho pueblo; despues fue sus-
pendido en- este cargo; ahora pa
rece que ha sido puesto en- pri-
sion, declarandosele ademas in
comunlcado, en- cuyO estadO Sc
nos participa que Sc halla hace
siete u ocho dias, 10 cual es suma-
mente grave.
Y 10 peor del case es que estos
no son los dltimos resultados de
unprocedimiento tan enojoso, pues
Sc nos ha comunicado tambien
que las cosas vuelven ahora al
estado sumario, con 10 cual Sc
reproduciran los naturales sufri-
mientos del senior Valiente.
AL extreme a que han llegado
las cosas creemos que este es va
un asunto al que podrfa dedicar
su ocupada atenci6n nuestro cello.
sfsimo Sr. Gobernador General, y
acerca del mismo llamamos la del
muy digno Coronei del Tercio, por
81 juzga procedente adoptar al
guna resolution que, encauzando
debidamente las actuaciones, apro.
vecae ell tempo en- bien de la
Justicia y de los encausados a
quienes creemos dignos de toda
consideration.
En- nuestro humilde sentir, v
visto ell gran lapse de tempo
transcurrido sin exito alguno, pro-
cede ell nombramiento de uL Fiscal
especial, activo y muy inteligente
y practice en- los actos procesales,
que enderece y subsane defectos,
81 los hay, buscando ell cumpli-
miento de la justicia.
En- cuanto a la incomunicaciGn
del senior Valiente, solo tenemos
que observar que sin duda hemos
sido NAL informados, pues, prohi-
biendo nuestras leyes de Enjui-
ciamiento Criminal que las inco-I
municaciones pasen decuatro dias.
y estando seflaladas glayisimas

longuen mas ALA de la cuenta. no

no representa- menoS de un 81
por 100 en- la production de las
cafias, cuya proportion aumenta,
segun mi experiencia, en- rclacion
con la elevation de aquellos. Pc
no basta a mi prop6sito y al cua-
dro que voy a presentar, la inva-
riable del 80 por 100 entire uno
Y otro grado.
Una hacienda que en- ell ano
anterior produjo 400 bocoyes de
azdcar, 8 sean a Is quintales uno,
5000 quintales, en- este con igual
plantation dara $40 bocoyes, 8 10
que es 10 mismo, 1900 quintales,
que es ell 80 por 100 diferencia
de un solo grado de dulce. Aho-
ra bien: 5000 quintales a 4 pesos
uno dan un producto bruto de
24,O00 pesos contra 23,400 que
a 3 pesos uno deben alcanzar los
1900 quintales. De los %, 400
pesos, voy a deducir el importe de
la elaboration, envases, acarreo
demas gastos de los excedentes
100 bocoyes; y como las eroga-
clones todas de cada bocoy no
pueden exceder de Is pesos,
tendremos que los 1900 quintales
han alcanzado 2l,600 pesos, 6
sean 2400 menos, que es la dife-
rencia realmente experimentada
por ell dueno de- la 6nca en- la
venta de su cosecha de este aflo,
comparada con la anterior. Esa
diferencia 8 perdida es casi imagi-
maria, 81 tenemos en- cuenta las In
mensas ven:ajas econ6micas que,
por efecto de las excelentes con-
diciones atmosfericas va cltadas,
han debido obtenerse en- la elabo-
raci6n del cosecho actual, y pre-
paraci6n y cultivo del proximo
venidero. Pero suprimamos el
aumento por exceso de dulce; re-
duzcamos la production a Ii del
ano anterior, y examinemos 81 el
tipo de 8 pesos por quintal de
azucar es ruinoso para nuestros
cosecheros.
En- nuestros trenes comunes, y
sin la beneGca division del ira
bajo, ell costo del quintal de azd-
car al hacendado de Puerto Rico
no excede en- ningdn case de %
reales fuertes. Ell siguiente hol-
gado presupuesto viene a demos
trarlo.
Un fundo azucarero medlana-
mente administrado, debe contar
en- sus plantaciones, por 10 menos,
con una tercera parte de cafias
nuevas 8 de plantilla, y las dos
reStanteS de tOc0neS 0 retonOs.
El cultivo, pues, de 800 cuerdas,
cargandoles, como es natural, no
solo los gastos que en- elias direc-
tamente Sc hagan, sino todos los
que de el Sc deriyan, tales como
pago de mayordomos, contribu-
clones, sostenimiento de bueyada
etc. etc., no excede en- ningdu ca
so de 20 pesos por cada cuer-
da. Favorables condolences To-
Gales y una entendida admins
TRACTION pueden hacer bajar ese
tipo, 10 mismo que Ell de Is Pc
sos por elaboration, envase y
acarreo, y conduccion al merca-
do de cada bocoy, cuya Ultima
suma, a mi juicio, es el maximum
del costo en- los trenes mas eie-
mentales.

[Pittsburg Chronicle.)

A Community Dying Out.
Probably the nearest approach to the ideal
existence of Sleepy Hollow, as described by
Washington Irving, is attained by the Econ
omlte or Harmony Society at their village in
Beaver county. The community forms one
large family, whose wants are all provided
for by the patriarchal heads, Messrs. Hen
rici and LEM; and all the necesssries of life
in the form of food, clothing, fuel, light, etc
are dealt out to the inmates with liberal
hand. Money is no object to them as indi-
Viduals, but there is in the common treasury
at all times very large amount. 1t is prob
able that some of them do not possess dol
lar once year, and yet are far more happy
and contented than if struggling in the out
er world for wealth or bare subsistence.
While they possess many skilled artisans
and handicraftsmen, their work is chiefly
pastoral, and as peaceful and uneventfnl as
it is possible to conceive. While in this So
ciety the principle of communism rules, it is
OF lar different kind from that advocated
by the foreign blatherskites who faunt the
red flag and cry, "Down with the rich" in
our Eastern cities. The Economics hold
Their property in common, it is true, but
Ghey earn It before THEY hold it, and are scru-
pulous in their honesty and regard for the
the rights of others. Such societies would be
benefit to the country in some respects, as
they are peaceful, industrious and furgal,
and great Great RS of wealth. Unfortunate.
ly, however, this only one of the kind will
soon become thing of the past, as it re-
ceives no new members, and of the 800 who
settled in Beaver county in 1884 less than
twenty now remain, nearly all of whom are
men and women well on in the sere and
yellow leaf of life

Tariff LEGISLATION.

Col. Carroll D. Wright, the eminent Mas
saebusetts statistician, has recently pre-
pared valuable paper entitled "The Scien-
tifc Basis of Tariff Legislation" The pur-
pose OF the paper is not to discusO the
merits of the two great commercial systems
of free trade and protection or to decide
which is econ omically right or which is
economically wrong, but to discover, or
rather to point out the way to discover,
some clearly defued basis on which Con-
gress may legislate inteIigently under our
present policy of protection. That there is
need of some revision of our present tariff,
that it contains many Inequalities which
should be removed we think is not denied
by any considerable number of persons,
Neither we think can it be denied that
much of our tariff legislation in the past
has been crude and productive of less good
than it otherwise might have been, on ac-
count of the want of some clearly defined
basis TO egislate upon.
Col. Wright defines Scientific basis" as
"basis which shall enable legislation to BE-
clearly defined and just IN it's operation in
every particular" and he thinks its
necessity is sufficiently demonstrated by
the character of the tariff discussion in
which Numerically opposite conclusions
are drawn from the same premises. The
practical question bow such basis can be
reached Co. Wright answers in four pro
positions as follows:
Proposition l. a. There should be classical
ton of all articles on which duty is now laid, and
the rates on each article.

1t was announced the other day that Mr..
Reavis, the New York World correspondent
who was responsible for the bribery charge
made against $50 citizens of Augusta, had
written to Mr.. G. B. Morton of the Augusta
Age to know whether he would be arrested
for criminal libel if he appeared in Augusta,
and If in case of arrest, he could secure
bail. Both questions were answered in
the affirmative. These inquiries by Mr..
ReaVis were supposed to indicate an inten-
ton on his part to return TO Augusta and
vindicate himself and his charges. There
has now been ample time for him TO cover
the distance between New York and the
Maine capital. We have not heard, howey-
er, that he has arrived in Augusta or that
ne has started from New York even. Per-
haps on reflection, he has concluded that he
can vindicate himself better in New York
than in Augusta and has consequently deter
mined to remain in the former city.

A correspondent of the Boston Post
makes new charge against Mr.. Blaine. It
is that in 1872 when Horace Greeley visited
Portland Mr.. Blaine ordered all the rum
shops opened with the idea of showing the
people what Democratic rule would be. For
further information, he says, inquire of the
Eastern A is. Well, we have inquired Of
the files OF tAe Eastern Argus of that date,
but fail to fnd any evidence of free rum.
The Argus sgcomplaint on the morning af-
ter the reception was of free water st
rsined in torrents, says the Argus. The
correspondent is evidently mistaken. 1t was
a transform which Mr.. Blaine ordered and
his urpose was TO drown out Democrat
ic enthusiasm.

1t turns out that Mr.. Blaine when but
eighteen years of age was guilty Of the in
discretion of contracting secret marriage.
Some months subsequent fearing that the
marriage may not have been legal on ac-
count'of failure 10 observe some of the
technical requirements of the law of Ken
lucky he took the precaution to have anoth-
er marriage ceremony performed. This is
all the truth there is in the scandal which
the Democratic press has been publishing
for some weeks past to offset the open and
gross immortality oil which Grover Cleveland
admits he has been guilty.

Mr.. Blaine has responded to the Indian

Now it will be interesting to watch and see
what new dilatory motion will be concocted

The court Of inquiry which has been in
vestigating the loss Of the Tallapoosa has
decided that in its opinion the disaster was
due to fault on the part of the officers of the
schooner and that the officers of the
Tallapoosa were guiltIeSs. 1t is gratifying
that after thorough investigation of all the
facts the board has been able to come to
this conclusion. 1t is bad enough to have to
admit the feebleness and inefficiencysof our
naval vessels without being compelled to ac-
knowledge also that our naval officers are
incOmpetent.
