The City of Berlin is situated in Coos County,
New Hampshire, on the Androscoggln river,
which furnishes at this point one OF the finest
water powers in New England.
The Boston & Maine and Grand Trunk Rail-
roads give ample facilities.
The large Plants OF the Berlin Mills Co., the
Burgess Suphite Fibre Company and the Glen
Co. are located at Berlin.
In 1880 Berlin had population Of HOO, in
1890 the population was 1929 in 1895 1881 and is
now estimated to be over s000
In 1895 the Berlin Mills Company employed
575 men, the Glen Co. 400. the Burgess Sulphite
Fibre Company 125 and other smaller concerns
40 more.
Since then the. Burgess Sulphite Fibre Com
pany have doubled the size of their plant, The
Glen Co. have rebuilt and very much enlarged
built which now employs 450 operatives.
In addition to the water power required by
the above mentioned corporations $4,000 horse
will result in a steady growth in population in
the future.

The Chicago Tribune furnishes some
tables covering the statistics of lynohings,
murders, suicides, entertainments and
loss of life by disaster in 1897. The num-
ber Of murders is less than in 1895, while
the number of legal executions for that
crime is larger than the average for the
last five years. The figures as to lynch
ings show that the total of 1865 for 1897 is
only thirty-fve more than the total of
1896. A matter for consideration is the
fact that 1873 of the victims of mob muir
der were. colored. The money lost by en-
bezzlement, forgery, default, and bank
failures was 81 PAS, 1854, larger record
than for 1895 or 1896. The total lost of life
in the whole world by disaster, epidem-
10. famine, war and massacre is estimated
as 3S9,077, against GAG. SAG In 1896.

No 0ouot very strong argument could
be made at this time in favor of interior
ence by the United States in Cuba on the
ground that it was duty it owed to hui
manity to put an end to the 1nhuman
warfare that is being carried on in that
island. But the force of that argument
will not be exhausted when we have put
an end to the present strife. 1t will be
quite as potent to put upon us the the OBJ
legation of preventing its renewal in
another form. In other words, humane
considerations, if yielded to now and
made reason for interference in Cuba
under existing conditions, cannot be con-
sistently disregarded in the future, When
other conflicts alise, as they surely will
in such a population as Cuba's. In short
the humanity argument carried to its
logical conclusion will compel us to set up
protectorate over Cuba to the extent at
least of compelling the Cubans to keep
the peace and refrain from flying at one
another's Threats. That would be quite
large sized undertaking, and would
give us no end of trouble. If it were
simply question of stopping the present
wa h rc would be much less reluctance
or III art of our government to inter
fsle. But the difficulties Of the situation
after the war is stopped, and our relation
to them greatly complicate the case. 1t
is exceedingly improbable that. the insur-
gents would be able to to set up and
carry on government that would com
mand the respect and obedience Of the
people for any considerable length of time.
