Three years ago it was charged by
affairs that the first two years of the
second administration of Grover Cleve-
land had cost the country more in mon
| ey value than did the civil war. No
! attempt was ever made by the wor-
shippers of the Stuffed Prophet to de
ny or refute this charge. for the closed
mills, the ruined industries and the idle
men throughout the country were
ample proof that this broad assertion
was true SO great was the loss to
the country that many of the other
expensive experiments in Cleveland
ism have been lost sight of. Just now
when We are having an object lesson
in the need and value of the Nicaragua
Canal. it is well to recall the fact that
that canal would have been built and
in operation today but for Grover
Cleveland becoming President of the
United States. During the closing
days of the Arthur administration in
the winter of 1884 and 'S5 Secretary /;
of State Freezing TuysOn negotiated |
Il treaty with Nicaragua and Costa |
Rica by the terms of which the United |
States was to build and control the
canal across the Isthmus, these two
nations ceding to this country the right
of sovereignty over Il strip of land one !
league in width, and over the entire
lake of Nicara qua, an inland sheet of
if.ip To. Of
ford safe anchorage for all the navies
of the world BY the terms of this
treaty the Unuited States would have
assumed a certain prOtectorate over
these smaller nations and would have
secured a naval station on Lake Mic

IN easy striking distance of all strateg-
c points on both the Atlantic and Pa

his fresh water anchorage would have
been at all times ready for immediate I

The term of Senator Faulkner of
West Virginia expires on the 4th of
March. 1899. The present West Vir-
@inia legislature is Republican almost
in the proportion of two to one. West
Virginia is one of the few states which
adhere 10 the policy of electing all its
state officers for period of four years
and radical changes in the political
control are therefore infrequent. The
senior senator from West Virginia is
Stephen r. Elkins, Republican, and the
probability of his securing a Republi-
can colleague in place of Senator
Faulkner, who is now in the twelfth
year of service, has led to the appear

CUBAN FARM PRODUCTS.

1t is now pretty generally known
that the soil of Cuba is deep, of darE
color and of great fertility. Probably
sugar cane is the product of most i'm
pOrtance. The cane does not need tC
be replanted every year, as in the
colder countries, says the Western
Rural Eight Immense sugar estates
are enumerated near Santiago, some OF
them averaging as high as 10000 bags
leach 300 pOunds).
Coffee estates have been a source of
wealth to the Spaniards. They have
taken especial pride in the quality of
coffee grown. An Associated Press
dispatch says that coffee and cocoa
plants are generally grown on thesame
''fncas'' or farms, the more frail coffee
shrub requiring for best results the
shade afforded by the tall overhanging
cocoa tree
From the same dispatch from San
tiago we learn other interesting facts
concerning the coffee culture. The
coffee shrub yields its crop in Novem-
ber but, as it is not regular and uni
form. three harveStS are made annual
ly; the first in November, the second in
January and the third in March. Large
quantities of cocoa have been shipped
annually to Spain and France, at
prices varying between SIS and SIT
per hundredweight free on board, but
for many Years no coffee has been ex-
ported from the island of Cuba. 1.-THE
reason for this lies in the fact that
Cuban coffee, like Cuban tobacco, is
of a rare quality and aroma, raised and
and selected by experts, and of neces-
sity bringing a price which would not
easily find a market for the product
abroad. On the fields Cuban coffee
sells for from $21 to $25 per hundred
pounds"
The Spanish grandees took great
pride in feaSting and thus using their
fine coffee at home and in presents to
their friends.
But the negligence and want of bus
mess thrift of these Spaniards has re-
suited in forty out of fifty of these
coffee plantations falling into the
hands of Frenchmen who came over

Gen Lees entire corps has been set

possible need of $4,000 men, at least
for time. a number as great may be
required for the Philippines, although,
there too, there is good ground for hop
ing that Il smaller force will ultimately
suffice. Add Porto Rico, for which
Gen. Miles estimate is 10000, and Ha-

EURoPE's CUBAN QUESTION.

The reopening of the Cretan trouble
just at the moment that the Cuban
question has been settled will call the
worlds attention to the difference be-
tween the European and the American
way of dealing with disturbing inter,
national issues. Cuba has ceased to be
factor of probable embarrassment to
any country. and will soon pass off the
stage of international politics. The is
sues which Cuba created have been
settled forever because they have been
settled right The atrocities and scan
dals which Spain's barbaric rule caus-
ed in Cuba and the loss of life and
property including the lives and prop
erty of citizens of every country which
had residents in that island. have end
