The following from the Washington
Post will be found interesting:
Nevada is State THAT has been
greatly misrepresented," observed ex-
Governor r. X. Colcord of Carson
City to Post man at the Raleigh.
at ID true that after the exhaus-
ton Of the Comstock and other enor-
mously rich silver mines, we lost
considerable part of our inhabitants,
but that decline was checked some
time ago, and at present Nevada is
gaining slightly in population. To-
day we are in excellent shape, free
from debt except in very moderate
amount that has been borrowed from
the States public school fund, and
we have no outside creditors. Some
he~vlly producing gold mines are 10

increased output Of the yellow metal
are excellent, and other resources

thoroughly in the principles of that
party, but | do not believe it can
continue in power by advocacy of the
single gold standard. During the
last few months have travelled ex-
tensively and everywhere I find d
most bitter opposition to that policy.
The people may not be wildly clam
orOus for the free and unlimited
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l; for in
fact the idea of any ratio is not very
greatly developed with the average
citizen. The idea prominent with
him Is that one metal has been struck
down and be wants it rehabilitated
The Democrats will press this view
for all that it is worth, and shrewoly
omit the 16 to phase of the question
in 1900. BY so doing they will sweep
the country unless there Is a great
change in the conditions now exist
ing The American people really
want bimetallism-gold and silver
and il silver is restored to its former
place as money, will be content to
let Congress establish the ratio"

that since the Wilcox King affair
the need of harmony becomes evil
dent. That's right put all the blame
on Judge Wilcox. 1t is strange in
deed that the inspired organ did
not see the need of harmony when
General Merriam was here. That
was when the discordant notes
with the army were struck. Well
indeed may the official paper wor
ry over the political influence Of
the army at Washington, and we
may now expect to see an attempt
made to make Judge Wilcox stand
the brunt of the responsibility for
mistakes made before the Judge
had any one connected with the
army to deal with. 1t must be re-
membered that the politicians in

SOME COMMERCIAL LESSONS.

As regards our commercial rela-
tons with the United States both
the territory and many people in
the States may be considered as
passing through an educational
stage. At first blush the appear
ance are that the people here do
not take kindly to the new phase
that annexation brings. On the
other hand many sound business
men throughout The East, Middle
West and Northwest have shown
a surprising ignorance of local
conditions. Judging from the tone
of many letters received from time
to time, the majority OF our now
fellow citizens have an idea that
Hawaii's population is one-half
hottentots and the other half bust
ness men who are eagerly seek
ing emancipation from the hold
which California has upon them.
Notwithstanding all the printers
ink that has been used to explain
what Hawaii is, the ignorance of
true conditions is profound. 1t is
now possible to see that a COM
mercial clash was necessarily in
eyitable in order to wake up the
people on both ends of the line.
During the last few months the
pioneers following annexation
have been impressed with the fact
that the same smount of CONNER
cial powder is needed to enter Ha'
waiian trade thst is required fol-
almost any American section.
Locally the lesson has been

THE HARBoRs OF PORTO RICO

InfOrmatiOn.

an anchorage for at least 80 vessels.
The ports, such as Fajardo. Huamacao
and Arroyos, are simply the entry ports
for customs purposes of the towns which
lie some five or six miles, in each case, in
the interior. There is, perhaps. no coast
in any part of the world SO well adapted
to Illicit trade as the coast of Porto Rico.
For the protection of the revenues,
when our customs and navigation laws
shall be enforced, there should be at least
two vessels of the revenue cutter service
assigned to duty. with headquarters TO
be designated: one at San Juan and one
at Ponce. The question as to when the

Spanish Wooden bullets
Q'rom the San Francisco Chronicle,

1t is well known that Spanish soldiers in Cuba
We're very poor marksmen, but great surprise has
been expressed, says the Scientific American, at
the remarkable lack of execution which charac-
terized their fire at Guantanamo and Santiago
and an officer of the United States gunboat
Montgomery has been able to throw some light
on the matter. He visited the Maria Teresa
after the destruction of Cervera's fleet in search
of souvenirs. He found a large number OF Maui
ser cartridges in groups of five ready to go into
the magazines OF the guns and ii the entire
Spanish army and navy were equipped with that
kind of ammunition, both Cervera and Toral
were amply justified in surrendering when they
did The cartridges consisted OF a metal shell
loaded with air and sprinkling OF powder
The bullet was of neither brass nor lead but OF
wood. Some army contractor had imposed on
the ordnance bureau of the Spanish navy, but to
what extent the wooden Mauser bullets were
used will probably never be known
