QUEENS PRIVATE SECRETARY.

only member of the higher encourage of
the queen who is bourgeois pure and
simple. AS a rule, Victoria's con-
fidential advisers al of aristocratic

Sir Fleetwood was the son of stock
broker who lived and died and was
buried at Harrow, where some five and
thirty years ago he had three sons in
the school belonging to the then some
what sighted body Of Home Boarders
He entered under Dr. Vaughan, and
left under DR.. Vaughan in 1858, and oo-
tanned a commission in the Engineers
in 1863. 1t was at the Berlin congress
he was attached to the special en-
bassy-that he gained the favor of that
best of judges of men, the earl of Bea-
consfield. Through him he was brought
to the queens notice, and in the year
of the congress, 1873, he became assist
ant private secretary and keeper of the
privy purse. Since then he has gone
on from honor to honor. The pink of
perfection, always well dressed and we'll
deneanored, he has about him some-

FARMERS IN CUBA.
NeaFly ALI but the Owners of Great Es-
tates Are Abjectly Poor.

Between the condition of the planter
and that Of all other agriculturists
whatever in Cuba the widest difference
exists The laborer has nothing, never
has he'd anything and is happy in the
knowledge that he never will have any
thing. The small farmer. the owner of
a few acres, is the most abiectly pow
erty stricken son of the soil that have
ever met. He lives in the poorest habi-
tation known to civilized man, a hut
made of the bark of the palm tree. Be
side IL the adobe dwelling of the Next
can is a palace. 1t has one room, a dirt
floor, neither window nor chimney; in
this the family live like cattle, subsist-
ing upon the poorest of food, as most
that the soil produces must go to pay
the taxes. Children run about, guilt
less of the knowledge of clothes until
or years old. Books, education, the
world, are things of which they have
never even dreamed. 1t is true that
there is an intermediate group. Be
tween these pc lie and the planters is
a small contin IT of thrifty farmers.
Here and there through the country
may be seen a tone dwelling with red
tile roof that marks the home of one
who by some rare enterprise has be-
come possessed of enough land to en-
gage in cattle raising or fruit growing.
But the prosperous, forehanded, middle
class farmer is conspicuous by his alb
sence, says James Knapp Reeve in Lip
pincott's Magazine. 1t is because there
ts no such middle class, and because
the country people are either the own
ers of great estates or else abjectly
poor. that i, is a mistake to speak Of
Cuba as a Itch country. 1t cannot be
so while the present conditions exist
But with such a combination of soil
and climate as she possesses, the islaAd
is capable Of great things. Money and
enterprise are needed for the develop
ment of it's resources, and these are
not likely to be forthcoming while the
present social and political conditions
remain. If the islands were open to
American enterprise as freely as our
own territory is, decade would suffice
for the working Of great changes.
