OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
western Investments.


! New England capitalists are reputed
10 be as shy of anything western as the
capitalists of old England are just now
of anything American. Western men
seeking capital in Boston camplain that
the safest investments imaginable can
scarcely get hearing. A Boston au-
thority on investments is quoted to the
effect that in the past ten years New
England has sunk not less than $780,
100000 in western railroads, farm mort
cages, town lots and similar invest
ments. Six years ago 80 western in
vestment and loan companies were do
ing business in Boston; only two Of
them survive, and the losses of the 9TH
,ers are estimated at from So, 600, 900 to
100000 apiece. OF course, much Of
this money was injudiciously invested.
Money having been made in western
town lots, farm mortgages and rail-
way securities, everyone who had
money to invest rushed into ventures
OF this character, with little inquiry as
w oAO ucliLS VI tlc properties nc
quired or to be acquired. AT one time
lit was very easy thing to organize
ia western investment company and sell
its securities in New England; it was
$50 easy that men of little ability and
capital did it, and they loaned their
,easily-obtained funds improvidently.
Western farmers had loans pressed
upon them, and farms were taken as
security for loans that exceeded ra-
Itional estimates of the value of the
property. Bank Commissioner Breid-
enthal, of Kansas, estimates farm in
debtedness of s4O,oOo,ooo in the state
wiped out in eight years by foreclosure,
but, while the borrowers lost their
farms, 1t is quite likely that the cred
itors lost more than they. New Hamp-
shire savings banks are estimated to
have lost about sao,ooo,ooo on western
farm mortgages, and yet the fact that
In the past eight years Kansas farmers
have paid off $16o,oOO,o 900 Of mortgages
shows how many good investments of
that class there were

Schemes for Cuba's Future.

The presence of Robert p. Porter in
Havana on special mission from the
United States government to study the
financial and economic aspects of the
situation, is regarded with suspicion by
the party of free Cuba, as indicating
the establishment of an American pol
icy of guardianship.
Mr.. Porter is preparing a revision of
the Cuban tariff, which will probably
be protective of Cuban industries, and
is acquainting himself with every de-
tail of local taxation. In this work he
is assisted by capable staff. For the
present his efforts are only preliminary
as until after the definite settlement of
peace it will be impossible to establish
the new regime.
But his efforts and inquiries, taken
together with the announcement that
American troops will be sent later to
occupy the island--which had hitherto
been doubted by many-have had the
effect of provoking protests from the
more rabid Cubans, who are holding
meetings and adopting resolutions
against "encroachment upon our rights
as citizens of the free and independent
Republic of Cuba by the establishment
of an American protectorate."
Commenting editorially upon these
developments, "La Lucha' says:
cit is easy to foresee clash between
the two forces on the political horizon
of Cuba--the sentimental independent
party and the party of practical annex
ationists. On one hand stands the
Cuban sentiment, which has struggled
for freedom for three years; ON the
other is arrayed every material interest
in the island, which looks first and fore
most for the greatest and strongest
guarantee, not only that order will be
preserved, but that there will be a fu-
ture development and increase in those
very interests.
''lti s too early yet TO predict with
which party the victory will lie; but the
leaders of the national Cuban party
should not allow themselves to be car.
ried away by the natural exaltation and
fiery temperament of their race. They
should proceed with tact and discretion
at this juncture, for otherwise annexa
ton may become an accomplished fac
far sooner than is expected. The
leaders should act with prudence, anC
furnish an example of strength and sta
bility. Such conduct in them may re
suit in adding to the ranks of the ma
tional party large proportion of thos'
who now advocate annexation and in
carrying with them the great LANDED
and industrial interests of the island.
These two problems, independence,
and annexation, are the chief topic
discussed, and the idea of an American
protectorate, with military occupation
is nowhere favorably considered
Everywhere it is recognized that tn
choice is between independence ant
annexation.

ago. 81 know him by his high stock"
Many recognitions of those on the
floor are fully as exact. Visitors al
ways provide themselves with dia-
gram of the seats and so have no diff
Guilty in picking out the prominent
members. For all that, Dalzell is often
taken for Dingley and Dingey in turn
for Sockless Simpson; the fact being
that Congressman are prone to sit in
any other seat except their own. Simp-
son, by the way, is probably sought af-
ter more than any other member, which
shows the advantages Of the grotesque.
Similarly Lewis Of Washington is one
Of the sights, and when he begins to
speak curiosity is redoubled.
"My," exclaimed an old lady recent
ly, chow that young man do go on.
His tongue seems to be hung in the
middle"
Sometimes the local member adds
consideration to kindness and comes
up to point out the celebrities-the
other celebrities-to his constituent.
Then, indeed, there is plain sailing,
while those less favored slide along the
seats in hopes of catching few stray
words from the great man.
There is one popularity about the
view of the House from the gallery,
and that is that it is unflattering to the
personal appearance of the members.
No Congressman looks so well on the
floor as he does face to face. The eff
feet from above is TO belitte and dis
tort. Perhaps in view of this fact it is
just as we'll that the diplomatic gallery
is 80 seldom occupied. There is also a
serious, not to say sombre, cast of coun-
tenance prevalent.
