Cuba's Tobacco Crop.

The new crop Of Cuban tobacco is now
coming into market. Naturally, the sup
ply will fall below the normal average,
which is about $1,000 tons year, yet
there will be no dearth Of Havana cigars,
nor of homo manufactures OF Cuban leaf
With the restoration Of good order there Is
every prospect that the island. in every
part of which tobacco grows we'll, will soon
equal its former production.
Since 1895 this country has had an adj
vantage over Europe In the matter Of
Cuban tobacco, for the large stocks held
here tided over the years Of decreasing
supply while it was more difficult forlovers
Of Havana cigars abroad to obtain their
favorite weed. In Belgium, so-called Ha-
vana cigars made Of tobacco grown in west
Flanders. were foisted upon the market in
considerable quantities.
The new crop is selling at high figure
The supply is mono too large and Cuban to-
bacco will always command the top prices
as long as Its reputation in the Occident Is
that Of affording the finest leaf. Mexico
and other countries assert that they can
grow leaf that is in no way inferior to the
Cuban, but the devotees OF Havana say
these claims have not been made good.
Further they prove their faith in the
Cuban leafs superiority by paying much
higher price for 1t.
II the fame Of the Cuban product is fully
deserved, the fact Is certainly due to its
quality and not to the quantity consumed,
for it cuts comparatively small figure In
the tobacco markets Of the world. We grow
seven times as much tobacco as Cuba pro-
duces. while India produces five times,
Russia three times, and Austria-Hungary
twice as much. Frances crop in tho
valley OF the Garonne and In Algeria
far SURPRISES that OF Cuba in amount.
The immense quantities grown in the
Philippines, Sumatra and other Eastern
| regions make the Cuban harvest appear
very insignificant The island OF Luzon,
whereof the tobacco has about the same
| reputation in the East that Cuban leaf en-
| joys In the West, raises three to four times
| the crop that is grown In Cuba.
Such figures. however, do not Impress
those who look to Cuba for their tobacco.
II there Is any region that can vie with the
southern slopes Of the Pinar del Rio hills in
the production of the finest grades OF leaf
they would like to know where 1t Ia, for
| that kind Of tobacco would be just as enjoy
able II there were more OF it and the prico
were little cheaper.

law passed in 1872 The sole cause OF the
silver agitation 40 declared in the Democratic
platform OF 1895. Is 'the demonstration OF
silver" by the Act OF 1873. and how It could be
quleted by enacting "a law establishing the
gold standard on terms not doubtful to the
ordinary mind" is beyond reasonable compre-
henson. The agitation ia due to the fact that
the terms OF the Act OF 1878 were not doubtful
to the ordinary mind" but are understood by

Crime OF 1873" and committing the same
crime" by repeating that Legislation I'm terms

The First Gun.

Massachusetts votes this year for Cover
nor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Attorney-Gen-
eral, Treasurer and other State ,offlcers.
The Democratic convention to nominate
candidates has been called by the State
Committee to meet at Mechanics Hall, in
Boston, on September 21. What makes
Chairman GALATIANS call notable and Of
considerable present Importance Is the cir
cumstance that the Massachusetts dele
gates are summoned not only to nominate
a State ticket but also to elect delegates
and alternates to the Democratic National
Convention of 1900"
Many peculiar things are done in Massa-
chusetts, and some inexplicable things; but
this notification comes as near being unpre-
cedented as anything in current politics.
The date Of the next National Democratic
Convention has not been fixed. The place
for holding It has not been determined
upon. The call prescribing the basis Of
representation and describing those entitled
to participate, has not been issued Yet,
regardless OF all these facts, the Democrats
of Massachusetts arc instructed to select
delegates and altcrnates in September,
1s99 to convention which will not meet
until some time in 1900, and then at some
place not yet agreed upon.
The explanation Of this defiance to the
anti-Bryanites OF Massachusetts and else
where is however, simple. Ifthere Is to be
any conflict the radical silver men are pre-
pared to begin 1t at once. and their early
convention is q mark OF the intolerant but
courageous determination Of the presen
party leaders to forestall any opposition
from the subterranean conservatives, har-
mon2ers and stradders, more numerous
proportionutely in Massachusetts. perhaps
than in any other State,
Prior to 1895 the Democratic party in
Massachusetts was controlled by honest
money men. In the State convention of
April of that year the Democrats approved
