The cotton manufacture is in somewhat
more difficulty than any other, because
prices do not much improve, nor as yet
does the demand for goods. though both
are helped by the closing of many mills,

Cuba was the island we went to war
to set free; but the accounts of the
treatment of the Philippine islands by
Spain suggests strongly that some pow
er nearer geographically to those is
lands than the United States ought long
since to have wrested them from the
Spanish grasp. in the interest OF hu-
manity Here is what seems to be an
authentic statement of the tax burdens
laid upon the islanders: "All males
ove- 21years Of age must pay poll-tax
thAt equals SIS of our money and tlie
women must pay sl4. A man must pay
a license to sell cocoanuts from his own
trees or indigo of his own raising. Ev-
cry article OF furniture that costs 81 of
our money Is taxed. The curtain never
goes UP at the theater unless $40 Is paid
to the government, and for every act of
slaughtering his own animals, clipping
his own sheep or telling his own trees.
the Philippine farmer must pay fee to
the government. There is exacteG
government tribute for getting married
and for being buried. and at every step
and turn of his life the tax-collector
holds out his hand to him, and 1t is not
n demand that can be refused" No
wonder Spain wishes to keep possess

Two important cases from the court
Of private land claims we're recently
decided by the Supreme court in favor
of the government. One involved title
to the Chavez grant Of 10000 acres
in New Mexico. made in 1925 by the
governor and departmental assembly
of the territory OF New Mexico while
the land was part Of the public do
main OF the republic of Mexico. The
court found that the grant was made
by officials without authority to Issue
1t, and therefore the title of Martin B.
Hayes, claimant by mesne conveyances
through Chavez, is not good as against
that of the United States. The other
was the case OF Earl B. Coe, involving
the title to the Algondones or Rodri-
Euez grant in Arizona, comprising 40,-
600 acres. Rodriguez claimed to have
q patent or grant issued in 1885 under
a sale authorized by the officials of the
State OF Sonora, Mexico. The court
found that, as in the other case, the
grant to Rodriguez was made without
authority and confirmed the title OF the
United States.
