"A correspondent writing from Ross
vile. asks a good many questions and re-
quests the Advocate to answer them. The

Ala For Dawson City.

The Secretary of War is devoting a good
or not the people of Dawson City cannot
be aided if they should be threatened with
a lack of food during the coming win
ter. 1t seems he knows something about
a locomotive, used in the logging camps
of the west. which he thinks can be
adapted to the conditions which prevail
along the Klondike mining trail between
st. Michaels and Dawson City. There
is plenty Of provisions at the former place
enough to feed 5000 men for a year
but the question is how to get them to
Dawson City.
Although there is feeling of impotence
with the thousands of gold seekers who
have crowded into Dawson City at the
beginning of the winter season, when no
prospecting and no mining can be done,
still, they will not be permitted to starve
if aid can be got to them. Although
they did not take with them supplies
sufficient to last them through the winter,
and many of them are without means to
buy anything, they will not be allowed
to become the victims of their own folly
If the government can get relief to them
The Secretary of War has been confer
ring with persons who are familiar with
the Klondike route and also with the
builders of the locomotives, which he
thinks can be made available for the pur-
pose he has in view AT the next cab
met meeting he will have a scheme to
present, in all probability, that will make
glad the people of Dawson City, and per-
haps induce hundreds of gold seekers to
try and reach that city this fall, feeling
assured the the government would take
care of them, If not able to provide for
themselves.

Twenty-Five years ago Erastus Corning.
the great iron king OF Albany, y. Y, left
a fortune Of $40 90 to his son and
narnesake. According to the New York
World, that fortune has been dissipated,
and the sonis family is now poor. It was
a philosopher who said that there were
only three gereIa tons between shirt
sleeves and shirt sleeves. The incident
illustrates how fortunes grow and melt
away under our social and political sys-
TEN. Riches are constantly changing
hands. The poor man Of to-day may be
rich tomorrow. and vice versa. There are

tinue 10 be rich generation after genera

Moral of the Loftin Case.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

The moral of this Georgia incident, as
of the cases in the north where hostility
to a hated official stopped short of at
tempts to kill him, is that no man, white
or black, should be appointed as postmas-
ter anywhere who is obnoxious to most of
the people that he is to serve. The very
first essential of a postmaster is that he
shall be satisfactory, and if any aspirant
is not. that fact should be a fatal bar
to his appointment, no matter whether the
objection is to his temper or his color.

them From our point of view. in- stead of granting Cuba seli-govern- mcnt they are only d mockery The new governing body IS to have twenty-one members elected by pop ular vote, six chosen by the corDora- tions, and eight appointed by the crown. Now the restrictions on suffrage are so cuuningly contrived that only a small per cent. of the people vote. perhaps not over one seventh of the proportion that have the right of suffrage in Spain. There fore, of the tWenty-une elective mem- bers, probably not more than one third would be native Cubans. The majority would go against them and the old abuses would go on as before. The GovernOr-Genera's power to appoint all high officials, the condition that the tariff shall allow q protective margin of twenty per cent. to Spanish goods against foreign goods, and the government's power to adopt measures against these reforms when needed to sup press rebellious movements,' all prove that the control of the island is to be Spanish, not Cuban.

Cuba is divided into three Intend
 eneios. or provinces: The Western,
 including Havana. AIatanzas and
 Cardeaas; the Central. which extends eastward to the northeast corner of the great bay and the 5oca de
 Nuentas. and has as it's capital
 Puerto Principe the third lies to
 the east, with Santiago as its capi-
 tai. These provinces are divided
 into twenty-six judicial districts, each one presided over by an 'alcalda Mayor" " CT judge, having under him
 local judges. There are also thirty one political districts, each with it's
 ayuntia mento, or town council
 The ehief executive officer os the island is the Captain-General-at present General Weyler-a appointed
 by the Crown of Spain for from three to five years. at an annual sal ary of $50,000 He is both military and civil commander All State off ccrs. from the highest to the lowest, are Snaniards, and directly from Spain The established religion is Roman Catholic In 1Ss9 the public debt was $lS6, ,000 900 -Cyclopedia.
 The royal order Omniamodas, rat flied in lSsG, empowered the Captain General to rule the island at all times as though the inhabitants were in q state Of siege. some of these generals have deserved praise for trying to discharge their duties faithfully. but most of them have ruled with al iron hand, and what ever progress the people has made resulted from their ability to over come obstacles put into their way by Spain and these Captain-Gen- erals. Much sympathy by the peo- pie of the United States from time to time has been shown, and sev- eral efforts have been made to pur- chase the island. In 1S4S President Polk authorized the offer of $1 ,000.- GOO. Ten years later the U. $. Senate offered $50, ,000. 600. In 1854 the "0s- tend Manifesto, promulgated by President Buchanan, Mason and Soule claimed the nigh. to annex if Spain refused to sell. These upris- ings resulted in freeing all the slaves between lS70-lSS6. The most noted insurrection, led by Lopez. '49-54, failed. The rebellion lS66-'TS brought some reforms. By this Cuba secured in the C0rtes. or par lament, by her own deputies. A Liberal party to secure immigration and free trade was formed.
 The present insurreetion seems to be the most formidable of all. and bids fair Ut this date to succeed. 1 Spain is weakening.

 The soil in the cultivated portions is very fertile and vegetation luxu- riant. Seven per cent. is unreclaimed, four per cent. Is covered with fine forests, and large areas are unex- plored.
 The highest altitude, 5000 feet, is found in the Southeastern part, near the coast, while in the extreme west, peaks over 2500 feet rise above the sea level By far the larger part of the country consists of undulatlng plains, well-waterea and covered with timber of theflnest quality. The shores are generally low and are lined with dangerous serps and shadows, but in many localities there are deep harbors or inlets, as at Havana, the admirable situation of W whieh makes it the emporium Of Central America. The rivers are short and rapid flowing. The Ay, or Negro has a remarkable natural bridge and some falls higher than Niagara. Gold, silver, coal. copper, iron ore. beautiful marbles and ias- pers, salt, red lead, antiDony. arsen- ic, asphaltun. petroleum and quick silver are found in different parts of the island.

The commerce of the island is chiefly with the United States, Spain and Great Britain. h 1890 our inn ports from Cuba had q value of $54 100000, and in the same year we exported to the island goods to the value of $l3.O00,000 Havana. the Capital, is the largest depot and su- gar market in the world.

INDUSTRIES.

The chiefindustries of Cuba are the growing and manufacture of sugar and tobacco. In 1890 the sugar pro- duct was.700, ,0OO tons. of which more than three-feurths was shipped 10 the United States. About 220,000, ,000 cigars are exported every year. The recent development of cigar making at Key West. Florida. has materially depressed this industry in Havana and other Cuban cities.
