This country imports more cork from
the province of Catalonia, Spain, than
does any other country of the world.
Many of the cork cutters in this coun-
try are Spaniards, and they have fine
faculty of getting all out a piece Of cork
that it contains. After stopper or a
sole has been made the smaller clip
pings are powdered so that they may be
used for packing glassware. In Spain
particles regarded as unfit for packing
are compressed into bricks that are used
for building. The Spanish cork cutters

OPPRESSED CUBA.
why the People Are So Deeply Discon-
tented with the Government
Especial Correspondence


Especial Correspondence
HAVANA, March 2-The Spaniards
and Cubans have been saying good
deal lately about this island being a
good COW, = meaning that it has been
MIXED and MIXED and MIXED by the
mother country until it has almost
nothing left but its inexhaustible soil.
The telegraph has already told you that
the people have again become restless
because of this everlasting milking sys-
tenn.
To an American it seems perfectly
clear that the entire machinery of this
islands government was originally de-
signed and is carried on for the sole
purpose of making Cuba produce for
Spain the very highest revenue possible
without any reference whatever to the
welfare of the Cubans themselves. It
seems strange that the home government
cannot understand that there is no surer
way of killing the golden egg laying
goose than to starye and maltreat it,
yet that is exactly the course pursued
toward Cuba. 1t is not worth while to
speak in detail of the many oppressive
laws and regulations enforced here, but
some notion may be had of their utterly
paralyzing effect from the fact that
hardly one-fifth of the wonderfully pro-
ductive soil of the country is under Gull
tivation. One most deplorable result of
SO oppressive government is an utter
lack of respect for it on the part of the
governed. Another is almost universal
corruption on the part of the officials.
Still another is the present instruction.
lak1
branches of the government are as deep
~ honeycombed with corruption as any.
1t has long been matter of general be-
lief that in a murder case the sole aim
of the police is always to get as much
money as possible If the criminal or his
friends offer more money than the au
thorities, it is quite hopeless to expect
his apprehension, and as this often hap
pens large number of murders go I'M
punished every year. 1t is mainly to the
laxity of the police, of course, that the
banditti flourish here as they do. Any
Cuban can relate scores of stories of
the seizure of rich citizens to be after
ward held for ransom. One of the most
memorable captures of this sort took
place in 1888, when Senior Don Silves-
tire Garcia, owner of magnificent plan
tation near Matanzas, was seized upon
his own plantation. Garcia was the
wealthiest planter in the district. At
one time he was mayor of Matanzas,
and he had the reputation of being one
of the most kindhearted of men. He
was held for a ransom of $50, 900, and
the affair caused an immense amount
of excitement at the time.
A more usual form of extorting mon
ey from the rich is for the banditti to
make threats, either by letter or in

son, of impending disaster unless certain
sums are periodically paid over to them.
A visitor to this island who desired to
explore its interior, but was afraid Of
the bandits, wrote not long ago to the
owner of a handsome plantation saying
that he should be glad TO pay him a
visit were it not for that fear. The
planter wrote back at once informing
the visitor not to be afraid. cit will be
perfectly safe for you to come, he said
in his letter, ''for contribute regularly,
and the banditti are under promise not
to modest my friends. They always keep
their word, and it is better to pay them
than the police, for the police demand
more and never respect their promises.
A few months after the abduction of
Garcia a resident of Havana received
an anonymous letter demanding $500,
in default of which his child. as the let
ter said, would be beheaded. The money
was to be placed under pile of stones
that very night. The man was fright
ened and put the money where he was
directed. Then he secreted himself
where he could watch the rock pile In
due time negro woman appeared and
began to search for the roll of bills. She
did not get it, however, for before she
had found it she was frightened away
by the sound of carriage wheels. The
man then recovered the money, but the
next day received another letter saying
that he had been careless and must place
the cash in the same rock pile again.
with an addition of 5000. Then he mott
fed the police, and for wonder they
arrested the woman, but for long time
after that he was in state of constant
fear lest he or some of his family should
suffer severe punishment at the hands of
his would be despoilers because of his
conduct. CHARLES NORTON

n SENATOR.

We direct the attention Of the Grand
Jury to the fact that there is q Senate
rial contest now wsging in Sacramento
between two very wealthy citizens. We
believe that we are justified in express
ing a fear that money is to be used cor
ruptly by one side or the other or by
both. We have no idea whatever that
either Mr.. de Young OF Mr.. Perkins
would personally bride or offer to bride
nybody. That is not the way such
work is done; that is not the way Sena-
torial seats are bought. The way it has
been done heretofore was simple. Rich
candidates had managers" who were
provided with plenty Of money. The
managers did the business and bought
votes. 1t will be ten days or more be-
fore the Senator will be chosen. II, in
the meantime, men are seen forsaking
one candidate for another against pledges
and distinct promises it will be prima
facie evidence Of crockedness, and will
supply good ground for an investigation
by the Grand Jury. 1t is quite imms-
terisl where the legislator with changed
opinions Aocks TO. A good. sharp inves-
tigation will dig up the truth. The

A LITTLE GAME BLOCKED.

Attorney General Beatty created some
CONSERVATION at the State Capital by in
curing into the methods of the late off.
cisls in letting contracts to supply pub
lie institutions. There was only one bid
to supply the State officers with station
cry. This led General Beatty to inquire
if calls for bids had been advertised. He
was informed by ex-Secretary Grey that
il was not the custom to advertise for
bids. General Beatty stated that the law
was mandatory and that the State off,
GERS were neither legislative nor judicial
bodies. They could not amend the laws
nor decide how they should be con-
strued; their duty was to obey them.
Such plain. straightforward language
as that surprised the old officials and the
merchant who was informed, without ad.
vertising the fact, that bids would be re-
ceived for certain supplies. They were
still more astonished when the Purchas-
ing Board, by direction OF the Attorney
General, decided to give all dealers q
chance to compete for supplying the Cap
itol, by notifying them that bids would
be received for 8 stated period, thus
blocking the little game by which favor
ties were given advantages that the law
contemplated should be awarded to ALL

rHE A FUNDS.

On the Tuesday following Mr.. Wester.
fields qualifying as State Treasurer he
proceeded TO take an inventory oil the
safe. George Richards, the retiring
Treasurer, shot back the bolts and the
big doors opened like the jaws OF a sep
ulchre. Quite q number Of politicians
we're present, but the two Treasurers,
old and new, kept their guns within easy
reach and there was no attempt at q raid.
There was q heap Of yellow metal
piled up in the compartments and ii was
a pleasant sight to see Mr.. Richards and
Mr.. wester6eld and Riley Davis count
out the stacks Of twenties for they
amounted to 1927, 9ls 90. There was
about 81, 900 in silver in Q canva bag.
II was weighed and found three dollars
short.
When counted, however, there was q
dollar too much and il was presented to
Mr.. Richards as q souvenir, a recollec-
ton Of a STATE safe having . dollar toe
much, which is a very unusual circum-
stance in the West.
The inventory OF the State assets were
as follows: Coin, s327,9lS 80; five per
cent bonds. $3.50. 900; four per cent bonds,
$3.50, 900; United States four per cent
bonds, 5000. 900; total. sl.457,9ls 80.
The State five per cent bonds return in
interest $4,000 a year, the four per cent

of $50. 600 a year. most Of which goes To

Twenty or more years ago opinion set
strongly toward narrowing the money
basis TO gold, and the English commits
sion Of q dozen men was . little later di-
vided between monometallism and bimet.
allism. A year or two later the ablest OF
the six monometallists changed his view
and frankly avowed it. In Germany
there has been change in the same direc-
ton, and . few days ago Won Karderf, a
conservative member Of the Reichstag,
said openly: 1.-THE deepest misery pre-
walls throughout Germany. for which the
only remedy is 9 silver currency. Ger
many would earn the gratitude OF the
world il she would call q silver confer
ence 10 Berlin" There is much evidence
that this kind OF opinion is spreading
throughout Europe. One Of the chief
arguments Of the monometallist-and it
is a strong argument in the light Of pol
icy-is that this country alone cannot
afford to run counter 10 the opinion Of
civilization. Neither can we afford to
ignore the evidence Of this charge in the
worlds opinion. In any event the finan'
cial and commercial disaster which has
belted the world for more than two
years, and still fills it with distress, ad-
monishes Us that we stand in some way
in q false position, and should correct it
without loss OF time.
The above article is from the Boston
Traveller, a Republican journal, and here
tofore an ardent supporter Of the gold
bugs. 1t is a healthy sign indeed to see
such an influential journal as the Trav-
eler admit ii is on the wrong road and
advising its followers that il is time to
seek prosperity by another route. The
fact is, the people Of the Eastern States
generally are at last beginning to realize
that increased prosperity will some
to them through one channel only, and
that is to increase the volume Of money.
Men who are not SO thoroughly blinded
as partisans to the success Of the Demo-
cratic or Republican parties, but who are
DESTROYS Of again seeing prosperity
throughout the land, are the men who
believe that silver should be used as
money and on IN equal footing with gold.
Politicians who have fooled the people
with free trade and protective policies
had better give up their calling as a bad
job and surrender gracefully, for the
time is not far distant when the true
policy will be adopted-and that is the
free coinage Of silver and the restoration
Of the silver dollar to its old-time power.

A LITTLE HISTORY.

Melville Atwood, the consulting min
ing engineer Of San Francisco, was the
irst to assay ores from the Ophir mine,
and he tells the experience as follows,
says the Call: In June, 1854, l owned
the Gold Hill mine in Grass Valley, and
during that month Gus Harrison Of this
city came through from Virginia City
with some samples OF ere from the Ophir,
which he gave to one Of my men and
which l found on examination to be rich
in silver. Harrison gave such favorable
accounts Of the territory from which the
ore came that | induced my secretary,
Judge Walsh and Joe Woodwork to visit
the locality and instructed them to bring
back as much of the ore as they could
carry on horseback. They made the trip
and returned with about sixty pounds Of
orc. / asssyed and found it run about
$500 in gold and 49, 600 in silver.
That week a German who worked for me
went up to Nevada City and told the
story Of the assay and a lot Of men
George Hearst among the number-fol.
lowed Walsh and Woodwork on the
second trip and the excitement then com.
meuced. That was the first test made
Of the ore from that property, and the
beads from the assay are now in the mint
in this city properly attested. Com
stock took out these samples referred to,
and was at the time working these crop
pings out at the Ophir in a cradle.
