blood, and the soldiery absorb what the
officials do not steal. Only one-eighth of this
fertile island is cultivated: it manufactures
nothing; gets all its wonderful riches from
the earth and from the trees. Under the
United States flag Cuba could raise the
sugar of the world, TO say nothing of its
capacity for fruit culture. its wealth in
mines and its forests of furniture hard
woods Public opinion might not today
favor the annexation of Cuba, but within
the next ten years the party in favor of its
legitimate acquisition is likely to be
strong one. and it is greatly helped by the
conviction that our congress made a great
mistake IN defeating President Grants
San Domingo treaty. which would have
coaling station of SANTANA Bay.
as 1t also did in throwing away
its chance under President Johnson
TO secure the Danish island of st. Thomas.
The large ignorant negro population of
Cuba is not a desirable feature of its popu-
lation, but this objection is not sufficient
TO obscure our eyes to the immense naval
and military value of Cuba to the United
States of the future. The annexation of
Cuba would not necessarily greatly in
crease the strength of our standing army,
while the annexation of Mexico and Gen.
trail America would compel a very large
addition to the regular army of the United
States in order to reduce the large mongrel
population of those countries TO decent
degree of respect for law and order. While
the annexation of Cuba would add less
than 100000 to our population, the
annexation of Mexico would mean the adj
dition of Il, 00O, 900 of people of mixed blood,
speaking different language than our
own, to our present substantially homo
geneous people. Two-thirds of the Mexi-
cans are of Indian blood, sunk in gross
ignorance. and are the superstitious
slaves and tools of the worst priesthood in
North America. In a social and political
sense the Mexicans are as absolutely nom
assimilative as the inhabitants of prov
ince of China. To give these ignorant
twelve millions the suffrage would be fatal
to any wise settlement of our present un-
solved social and political problems, and
to deny suffrage to a people who now en-
JOY it would be difficult Admitted to
congress Mexico would hold the
balance of power between the two
parties and a Mexican settlement of
our present political and social problems
would not be desirable nor permanent, and
Mexican annexation would by three mil
lions of cheap labor, earning from II to so
cents day, add to the difficulties of the
labor question. We do not want Mexico;
nor Central America; nor Canada with its
Mexicanized Province of Quebec; nor
Hawaii; nor Hayti, but Cuba, with its
small population and great natural riches,
would he most valuable and not a dam
gerously disturbing acquisition. Then
with our naval stations at Samoa and
Hawaii; at ChiriGui, in Central America,
We should be equal to the work that will
be before US on the completion of the Mic
arapfIa canal

speech put to shame the Christian savages

strikingly shows the utter barbarism
of the Russian government than the fact
that China is able to set it a superior ex-
ample of justice, humanity and tolerance.
The Chinese government is more open to
the appeals of compassion and religious
tolerance in behalf OF Christian mission

II looks as If portion at least of the
reckless denunciation of the Chinese

official representatives of Russian Chris
tianity. The emperor of China and his

Macbeth's "pearl top" and
"pearl glass " lamp-chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on COM
mon chimneys, just as the
work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the prices of common glass
chimneys.
And what will become of
his chimney trade if his Chin
neys never break ? He is apt
to be wrong there. He can
afford to charge a fair price
and give new chimneys for all
that break in use.

How the Rocks Were Rent.

Dayton, Wash, Chronicle.
Last week several of Dayton's biologists Wis
tted ledge of rocks on the Upper Touchet
where it is thought, from appearances, that
some ancient blasting has been done. There
are several holes in the ledge from which large
rocks have been extricated, and it is the theory
o. some that 1t was done by blasting.
Others hold that the excavations are as
old as Christ and were, therefore, not the
work OF gunpowder. The rock has the
appearance of having been drilled into
by revolving drill of some kind, but
Just how the work was done, and what
kind OF explosives were used is merely mat
ter OF conjecture among the local biologists.
The other day while Mr. H. B. Day was describ-
Ing the locality, formation of the rock, etc, a
minister OF good cloth came along and stopped
To listen to the conversation. After Mr.. Day
had concluded the minister ventured an ex-
PLANTATION OF the blasting by stating that per-
haps the work was done while Christ was on
earth. "fou know says the preacher, shat
the Bible says that when Christ spake the rocks
were rent"

The victorious Congressional party in

against our government. for as long as

ment, Just as Louis Napoleon was the de
Il Jocto government of France after the coup
ds etat of December, 1851, when he over
threw the French Assembly at Paris. Ii is
possible that our government agents and
Representatives in Chile, like Minister
Egan and Admiral Brown, may have
acted with indiscretion, but on gen.
eral principles our government could
not do otherwise than accept
B Baimaeeda as the government, so long as
be occupied the seat OF government and
held it against the opposition. Our govern
ment's sympathies were naturally with
the Congressional party, but officially gov
ernmenfs, in International matters, have
no more sympathies than corporations

sympathies. When kossuth was so

A watcher waiting for Him, He is glad
He rests His hand upon the watchers brow
But more than that, He leaves His very breath
Upon the watchers soul; and more than this,

AMERICAN WEALTH.
Superintendent Porter Estimates 1t at
Over sixsy-Two Billion Dollars.


The census bureau has issued a bulletin of
the valuation of real and personal property of
the several states and territories. The yalua-
tons are shown for 1890, with the ex-
eeption of Michigan, which Is for 1856, and
for Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa, Mississippi, New
Mexico, Washington and Wyoming, which are
for 1889.
The bulletin shows that the assessed value of
all property has increased from 993,5i3 in
1sSo to PAPA, $50 SOS in 1890, increase during
the decade of s7,345.596, 26l, an amount eQuiva-
lent TO the true value of all property as returned
by the census in 1850 s7,l31, 7SO,22S). Should it
be found, upon the completion of the inquiry in
relation to the true value of all property in the
United States, that the same relation exists in
1890 between assessed valuation and true valua-
ton as existed in 1880, the absolute wealth of
the United States, according to the eleventh
census, may be estimated at 1920 600, &C., or
nearly go per CAPITA against sl6i per capita
in 1860. Among the states showing an increase
of assessed valuation are the following:
