Cuban Finances Show Receipts in
Excess Of Disbursements the Past
Six Months of $1,48O,000.

WASHINGTON. August 27.-The War
Department to-day gave out for publica-
ton an interesting statement of the finan-
cial condition of the island of Cuba. Il
shows that under the management of the
United States government, the receipts OF
the island from January l, 1899, to June 9Sth
of the current year, exceed the expendi-
lures by the very handsome sum OF s1,4S0,-
OIL. This statement probably will be a sur
prise to many persons who had thought
that Cuba, under the military occupation
of the United States, was not self-sustain-
ing.

The whitewashing board in the Wes-

dict promptly, as per programme, ac-
quitting DR.. Stathers of any misconduct.
There was a fearful lot of awful lying
done in this case on one side or the
other. We can't see why the witnesses
for the prosecution would go on the
stand and deliberately perjure them
selves-as the decision of the board
says they did. We can't believe they
did, either. There is evidently some
thing rotten about the whole thing.
The evidence as published does not ex-

should demand his resignation.

GROWING EXPORTS
70 Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines.
LARGER FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
THAN AT ANY TINE PREVIOUS
lLY-COMPARATIVE FIGURES
WHICH SHOW THE INCREASE
OF OUR COLONIAL TRADE ~
THE ISLANDS.

WASHINGTON, D. c. August 20
Exports from the United States to Gu
ba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, according to statement JuSe
prepared by the Treasury Bureau OF
Statistics, were larger in the fiscal year
lust ended than in any preceding year
in the history of our commerce WITH
these islands. Even the reciprocity
years, 1892, 1898 and 1894, in which the
exnorts from the United States to Cuba
and Porto Rico were greatly increased
do not show as large grand total as
does 1899 with all the disadvantages or
war conditions which prevailed in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines during
a part of the year. To Cuba, the total
export for the year does not reach the
large figures of the two full fiscal
years 1893 and 1894 in which the reel
procity treaty with Spain was in OPP
Grafton, and to Porto Rico the total
export of 1899 was slightly less than
that of 1892, during three-fourths OF
which the reciprocity treaty was IN OPP
Grafton, or 1894, in all of which it oper-
ated.To Porto Rico the total exports
of the fiscal year 1899 are nearly % per
cent. in excess of The average annual
export during the preceding decade; to
Cuba, they are nearly so per cent.
greater than during the preceding de-
cade; to Hawaii, they are more than
twice as much, and to the Philippines,
more than three times as much as the
average annual exports during the pre-
ceding decade. Those figures it is pro-
per to add, do not include the exporta-
gtions to the islands in question by the
Government either for use of its troops
or in aid of the temporarily destitute.
While the total imports to the United
States from these islands is not as
large as in the earlier years of the de-
they did not have the supplies for ex-
portation, this being especially true of
Cuba, whose sugar plantations and
works were so largely destroyed during
the war with Spain. That our imports
from these islands are rapidly increas
ing, however, is shown by the fact that
those, from Cuba in the year 1899 were
66 per cent. greater than in 1898; those
from Porto Rico, nearly so per cent.
greater than those of the fiscal year
1898, and those from the Philippines
nearly 20 per cent. in excess of those of
last year, while those from Hawaii
show slight gain over last year and
an increase of thirty per cent. over the
fiscal year 1897.
The following table shows the ex-
ports from the United States to Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, separately, in each year from
1889 to 1899. Exports from the United
States:

A RAILROAD RUMOR.
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg Said to
Have Been Sold,

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August IA
local paper prints a story which is here
given for what it may be worth, ii the eff
feet that negotiations have been concluded
for the sale of the West Virginia Central
& Pittsburg railroad to the Seaboard Aair
Line The West Virginia Central, by the
way, should not be COMPOUNDED with the
West Virginia & Pittsburg. which is an
entirely different road, owned in large part
by ex-senator Camden. The road in ques-
ton is owned by the Davis-Elkins crowd
and runs from Cumberland to Bellington,
w. Va, distance of 1S1 miles. The story
of the sale says that it is the purpose of
the Seaboard to build a connecting line
from Norfolk or Weldon, n. c., thus OBJ
tanning entrance to the West Virginia coal
fields and to the territory tributary to
Cumberland. This would make it for
midable competitor of the Norfolk & West
ern.
1t is impossible to verify this story in
Washington, but it is certain that some
negotiations are afoot, possibly with refer
ence to the proposed extension of the West
Virginia Central southwark Senator FL

DEMOCRATS WILL SETTLE IT.

DEMOCRATS WILL SETTLE 1T.
Weston Democrat,
The committe in charge of the inves-
tigation into the moral character of
DR.. Stathers left no stone unturned in
the prosecution of their case and now
that they have seen their fondest hopes
and anticipations disappear, and have,
no doubt, realized that to dispense with
the superintendent they must first dis
pose of the Governor and the party in
charge of the means by which it is re-
tanned, We can only suggest that they
quietly content themselves a little
longer, and the Democrats will settle
the difficulty to the satisfaction of the
public. You have fully demonstrated
the utter incompetency of your party to
manage the affairs Of our States public
institutions as you would have it your
selves, and we now submit that it is to
your interests as we'll as to the inter
ests of the taxpayers of the State that
there be change in the administration
OF affairs.

THE SIA1HERS SCANDAL.
Expressions Of Opinion from the Press
Of the State
CAUSTIC AND PERTINENT COM
MENTS BY EDITORS WHO FOL-
LOWED THE COURSE OF THE
4 INVESTIGATION AT WESTON.
HE SHOULD GO.

WetZel Democrat.
We did not believe that there was
very much in the charges against DR..
Stathers, and never had much doubt
that he would be acquitted, and we are
glad for the honor of the State that the
committee of investigation found it con-
sistent with their oaths and their duty
to acquit him. Nevertheless, it has in
jured the reputation of the superln-
tendent, who seems, in many respects,
to be one of the most efficient who ever
controlled the asylum. 1t will be i'm
possible to make some people-a goed
many people-believe that the DIR. is
entirely innocent, and while there is
suspicion of the kind in the minds of a
portion of the people, he, perhaps,
should not remain in his position. We
know this is hard judgment against
one who has shown by a preponder-
ance of evidence that the charges
against him were false; but, like Cesars
wife the superintendent of our insane
asylum should be above all suspicion.
The clamor that the charges against
him were of Democratic origin, was
about as false as any ever set up by
idiotic politicians; for in fact and we
personally know, majority of Demo-
Gratis believed that the charges were
trumped up in the doctors own party,
in order to down him.
1t is not our fight, and the only in
terest we have is to see that the abode
of our unfortunates is kept clean, and
that harlotry and immoral conduct do
not run riot in that unhappy home of
the unhappiest of mankind.

VERDICT NOT JUSTIFIED.

Monroe Watchman.
The charges against Supt. Stathers,
of the Weston Hospital for the Insane,
may indeed have grown out of fac
tional Republican quarrel with which
J Democrats have naught to Go, but all
citizens of the State are concerned to
have these serious examinations probed
to the very bottom by searching and
! impartial investigation. That the
board which acquitted DR.. Stathers was
will pretend to assert. The whitewash
its members have applied to DR.. Stath-
ers will not Whiten him in the estim-
alton of the people OF this State who
have read the evidence. He stands be-
fore them, by his own confessions. a
grossly immoral man whose foul Ian
guage concerning women as we'll as the
liberties which he took with them. are
Z the strong symptoms of lewdness.
That such man would make the hos
pital a nest of vice would be most ma
tural His defense was consistently
weak and does not any where seem to
have justified the verdict Of innocence
which the board gave him.
But the case is closed and will not be
re-opened. Backed by the powerful
politicians of his party he will continue
at the head of this great institution, re-
gardless Of the aroma of uncleanness
which clings to him. There is this
husky consolation-that he is no worse
than others whom they have put in high
office and placed in charge of the peo-
pies business.

Point Pleasant Register.
The charges against DR.. Stathers
superintendent of the Weston Insane

the case, and he was discharged by
them. The committee did exactly what
they were appointed to do, and nc

Moundsville Echo.
The verdict of the Weston asylum
board caused but little surprise from
the impression created during the pro-
gress of the investigation. The finding
by the board was only realization OF
the expected. OF course the people
have verdict in mind, but the asylum
board is the highest judicial authority
the case can be referred to. Yet it will
not prevent the people from the pre-
negative of voting the entire gang out
of Office when the opportunity presents
itself.

VOTED INNOCENT.

Grantsville Independent.
This decision is not a great surprise,
for the board had shown Partially,
the press freely commenting upon it,
the Governor having been verbally in
formed of the fact, yet there was no eff
fort made to have a fair trial.
The charges were brought by leading
Republicans of Weston. They made a
strong case and handled it well, show
ing that there has been the grossest i'm
moralities INDUCED in by the Superin-
tendent of that institution. but he is
voted innocent.
