Sugar and tobacco have been the two
chief sources OF the wealth derived
from Cuba in the past. The production
Of each has been woefully diminished,
where not entirely destroyed, by the
existing warfare. and in regard to sugar
It is a question whether Cuba, even
with peace and security, Is likely ever
OF regain its pre-eminence. Not many
years ago the bulk Of the worlds sugar
supply was derived from cane, and OF
this Cuba furnished nearly one-third;
now, two-thirds Of the sugar used is
made from the beet. and in spite OF
this decline in the Cuban export. the
available stock for the current year is
estimated at some million tons more
than the annual consumption, so that
Cuba hardly figures in the case at all
1t is this enormous development OF the
beet sugar industry. particularly in
Germany and Russia. that has caused
the great reduction in the price of cane
sugar. Of which the Louisiana planters
are complaining, and which they think
ought to me rsmedied by bornties; and
il is doubtful whether the Industry can
ever again be as profitable as it used to
be in Cuba, even could the plantations
be restored to their old condition.

In Medieval DAYS

When people wanted anything they
knelt down and prayed for H. How
ever. that was some time ago, Along
about l400 a fellow named Guten-
berg. who had come dc Rhine
oveS," was monkeying around a
carpenter shop In LentE. He whit
tied some little blocks and actually
made an alphabet Then he rigged
a sort of-well. a machine that
would look something like our let
ter press OF today. He arranged
his blocks in order. put some ink
on item. also a piece OF paper. and
then screwed his press down. That
was called printing. Old Gutenberg
made a bowling success OF the
racket. and his head became so
swollen that he really snubbed the
king one day. The king overlooked
It. however. for he had an idea
what kind OF fellows printers would
be. Well. finally they got tho print
ing system down pat. and, as the
centuries rolled by. began printing
newspapers-first person, invariably

As to whether there ought to be any
politics in city government is question
which admits Of much dispute. but no
citizen will controvert the proposition
that candidates for municipal offices
whether nominated by partisan con-
ventions or not, should be selected with
for the Office. A man may be an exem-
pIary citizen in all respects and yet be
totally untitled to hold any public posi-
ton. There could be at this time no
more important question for considera-
ton by the people Of this city than that
Of the selection TO be made next We'd
nesday for city councilmen. The whole
future Of Astoria, there is reason TO be-
neve. may rest largely upon the settle
ment which may be made of certain
problems that will arise before the ex-
piration Of another twelve months. and
there will be a demand for an unusual
Iy good grade Of business talent in the
administration Of the city's affairs
Perhaps there is no candidate before
the people who is not a worthy citizen,
but it must be conceded that there is a
difference in the business capacity Of
some of them, and no graver mistake
could be made by voters than to allow
mere sentimental considerations to out
weigh the city's welfare in the election
Of any canC idate. The same test should
be applied that merchant or other
business man would bring to bear If he
were about to select a new employe to
conduct some important connection in
the affairs Of his private business. In
this view Of the case there can be no
doubt that the candidates on the Re
publican ticket have the advantage
of their opponents. Each Of them is a.
young man of unblemished reputation,
each has had training and experience
in the management Of active business
affairs, and each, by virtue Of his prop
erty interests and future prospects,
must stand in advance thoroughly COM
mitted to such lines Of policy only
as promise most aid in the growth and
development Of the city. AS between
any Of these candidates and those Of the
opposing ticket, aside from all political
considerations which do the voters Of
Astoria think most capable and most
likely to promote the best interests Of
the community under the new order OF
things which it is believed is about to
dawn for Astoria? 1t is sometimes
odlous to go too far in making com
parisons, but If the voter will treat
himself as the business man in search
of an agent or employe to entrust with
some new business enterprise, which OF
the two sets of candidates would he
select as most likely to contribute to
the success or bring failure to his
enterprise? If we are not mistaken
this is the theory upon which those who

A prominent physician of this city
will hand the text pocketbook he finds
to the police. He picked up a purse in
the street a few days ago. 1t contained
some recipes for making cake and pre-.
serving fruit, some samples of dress
goods and "a. 90 in money. He advertis-
ed the find, and 1t was remarkable how
many people there were who had lost
pocketbooks. Each tried to obtain some
idea of what the one found was like in
order to notify their friends, but the doc
tor was not easily beguiled.
Finally a lady came in and said:
"Are you the man who found a pocket
book?''
Eyes, ma'am."
well, it's mine"
what kind of a pocketbook did you
Sse, aud where did you lose it?" asked
the doctor.
"1t was a leather pocketbook, and of
course I don't know where I lost it. If l
did I'd have gone back and found it.
But l want my pocketbook."
81 only wanted to see Il it was the

Didn't l tell you so? Do you think
I'm lying about it? If you don't give it
to me now I'll have the police get it for
me-"
MADAM, il it's yours, l want you to

"Let me see. There was some money
and some recipes for making cake and

anyway. You had no right to p my
pocketbook and read the papers, even if
you did find it,"
The doctor vas convinced that the
woman owned the pockethook and show
ed it to her.
"Is that yours?"
"Of course it's mine. How many
times do you want me to tell you SOP"
Then she opened it and counted the
money.
