EXODUS TO PORTO RICO.
The Possible Danger of Its Being
Oyerdone

Everybody seems TO have the Porto
Rican fever just now said Anthony Jen-
nings, of New York. last evening. Cuba
is being overlooked for the time being and
1 am very much afraid that the rush to
Porto Rico will result disastrously to
some people. The island is small, con-
tanning a little more than 5000 square
miles of land and nearly q million inhab-
itants. There is one person to about
every two and a half acres of land.
In my Judgment, there are enough
people there already, and what the Amer
lean people ought TO do is to let them
stay there in a climate suited TO them
while we stay at home and manufacture
goods for them.
mo people were ever more prosperous
than the inhabitants of that island viii
be under the benignant influence OF
American laws. They will have money
with which to buy our breadstuffs and
the product of our looms.
Good coffee is grown in Porto Rico
and there is no doubt that America will
get practically all of the product. This
will send American dollars there Bra
zil lays an export duty on coffee So, too,
does Guatemala and other countries
where the bean is the chief article of in
ternational commerce Porto Rican plant
ers will not have 10 pay either an export
tax or an import duty and will therefore
have her rivals at a tremendous disad-
vantage
There is already an agitation in this
country on the subject Of land laws for
Porto Rico. When Congress meets a bill
will most likely be introduced looking to
a radical departure from the ordinary poll
icy of this country in the matter of land
tenures.

is a rear admiral. and his sea pay is $4,000
a year. His rank corresponds to that of
a major general in the army, but a ma;Sr-
general gets $500. with allowances for

lent to about 1000 in addition. Shafter
receives $500. then, against Dewey's
5000. But Dewey's shore pay is only
5000. so that his average remuneration is
about $4,000 per annum less than Shaf-
ter's. This 10 obviously a great injustice.

But this surrender 10 style involved no
loss of the fun that has been the Jer-

generations back. He was out for a coed

his took their baths not in clumsy calico

when they emerged from it, toned up for

picnic one or more of them found a
