MAKING PAUPERS.

The Mayor Of Alquizar, Cuba, seems. to
be gifted with a very considerable amount
of good sense. In our Havana dispatches
yesterday il was stated that he had re-
questcd Governor General Brooke TO cease
sending rations to the people of that sec
ton, as il only made paupers of them,
but that 1t would be advisable, if it could
be done, to send agricultural Implements
of the value of the ratfons. so that the
people could cultivate the land and be-
come seif-supportng.
1t was necessary. OF course, immediate
ly after the close of the war with Spain,
to send food to some quarters of the isl
and but there is no doubt that there has
been a great deal of harm done by the
lavish manner in which our government
has undertaken to feed the people Of
Cuba. If the Cubans had unders tool
from the start that they would have TO
look out for themselves. the chances are
that they would now be much better off
than they are.
Those who have been fed have made no
effort to provide for themselves, and they
are just as badly Off now as they were
when we began to feed them. In fact
they are worse off, because they have
learned to depend upon our government
and are less likely to go 10 work earnestly
to earn living than if no rations had
ever been issued to them. 1t has been
apparent for Ions time that they have
very little gratitude for what our govern
ment has done for them. When the ra-
tons are stopped those who have fattened
on the governments bounty will be
among the first to respond to any move
ment that may be iuaugurated against
our rule.
1t is certain that the amount which
the government has spent in feeding the
Cuhans Is very larse-just how large is
unknown to the public, ana perhaps to
the department which has charge of the
distribution of food. The American peo-
pie wouldn't object to this liberality if
good results had followed their char
ity, but, according to wnat the Mayor of
Alquizar SAYS, the results have been any
thing but good. The money distributed
in retions would have brought much bet
ter results il it had been distributed in
the shape of agricultural implements. 1t
is evident that the Cuban problem is
long way yet from being solved.

REPUBLICANS AND THE GOLD
STANDARD.
GOLD

The impression is growing that the Re,
pubIicans, in their national platform next
year, will come out boldly for the gold
standard This impression is based on
the assertion that the Republican eau
Gus committee of the House, which has
in charge the preparation of a currency
measure, has decided to put in the bill
they will recommend a clause to the eff
feet that the gold standard is the recog-
nized monetary standard of the country
The senate committee of Republicans
which has been discussing the currency
question at Narragansett pier has, it is
said, also reached an agreement in re
spect to the gold standard, Nothing dell
mite has been given out by the commit
tee. In an interview last Monday Sena-
tor Plat of New York, who is member
of the committee, said that the commit
tee had decided not to make the bill public
yet, but he declared that it would PRO
vide a sound money plan that would in
sure safety"
1t would be a very marked departure of
the Republican party from the position it
occupied in 1896 if 1t should declare for
the gold standard without any provisos
1t is doubtful however, if it will take such
a radical position on the money question
as that would be. 1t is much more likely
TO re-affirm the position it took in the
last national campaign.

Equal to the Occasion.

1t was way back in the seventies"
said an old engineer to a Chicago Inter-
Ocean reporter. Il was pulling the lin
tied east from Council Bluffs to Chicago
over the Rock Island. The night was BIT
terly cold. We had gone about twenty
miles out, and had stopped at a night
office for orders, and had started IN
again, when the fireman reached over
and said: There is a hobo on the plot
saw him get on at the depot Sure? 1
said. Go out on the running board and
see if he's there yet The fireman did as
he was ordered TO do, and returned with
the information that the hobo was still
there
Well said I. it's bitter cold night.
and if he can stand it out there l am will
ing he should ride with me- And on we
went toward Chicago, with Old No Pr
barking like sixty at the low joints ahead
and forgetful of our 'headend' passenger
on the pilot
BY and by, by the faint glimmering of
the headlight l thought 1 saw ahead
what seemed to be a bunch of cattle on
the track. As We approached it the bunch
seemed to grow larger. 1t was now too
late to do anything, so l just pulled her
wide open, and old No. 211 hit that bunch
of cattle ka-bif' To paraphrase the Ian
SuaSe of TennysOn, who glides into rap
lures of admiration over the charge of
the Light Brigade at Balaklava. there
was just simply cattle to the right of us
cattle TO the left of us, and cattle to the
rear of US. After 1t was over our

whose feet the frosts of many winters
had cracked as he wendell his way in
the dark over many a long train of box
cars, and who had been listening to the
story Well" said he, was he killed."
NO" replied the engineer. There he
sat, as large as any hobo could sit. on
the pilot with an oyster can milking one

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Hog Raising in the South" is the title
of Farmers Bulletin No. 100, of the federal
department of agriculture. 1t was prepar-
ed by Prof. S. NJ. Tracy, formerly direc-
tor of the Mississippi agricultural station
1t contains much information in regard to
the care. feeding and breeding of hogs
that will be valuable to stock raisers in
the South, and to farmers generally. Ten
years ago. says the Introductory of the
bulletin, fully 80 per cent of the pork
used in the Gulf states was shipped from
the great packing houses in Kansas CITY.
Chicago and Cincinnati, and little atten-
ton was given to its produc ton here 0he
South, few farmers raising enough for
their own consumption" Since 1890 how
ever, Prof. Tracy says. there has been a
rapid increase in the number of hogs
raised Still there are great quantities
of pork and bacon imported from the West
which might better than not be produced
at home. The hog is often called the
mortgage litter" of the great corn belt
from Ohio TO Kansas, but its power in
this direction is by no means confined 10
the region of cheap corn" says the bulle-
tin. THE Southern states can produce
corn almost if not quite as cheaply as the
most favored regions of Illinois or Mis-
souri,, while the greater variety of food
crops, the more nearly contiguous grazing.
and the consequent immunity from dis
ease give special advantages for profitable
pork raising which do not exist elsewhere.
Profit from the raising of hogs depends
more on the supply Of cheaply grown feed
than on any other item. Food crops
which are inexpensive to grow, which ma
ture at different seasons and which can
be harvested by the hogs themselves. are
abundant in all parts of the South; and
there is no reason why the Southern
states should not be exporters instead of
importers of meat" Following. the bull
ietin goes eXhaustively SNt clearly. into
how 10 raise hogs for profit. taking up
about every question that is likely to pre-
sent itself 70 the farmer who engages in
the business. The bulletin is published
for gratuitous distribution, and may be
had upon application TO the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington.

TROUBLE OF THU KENTUCKY DEM
OCRATS

The Republicans not only of Kentucky
but also of other parts of the country.
are busy trying to create the impression
that their party in that slate has an
excellent chance of carrying the state
in the FAN election. There is no doubt
they are going to make a very great eff
fort to do so. They think the effect Of
carrying Kentucky would be extremely
beneficial to their party in the national
election. No doubt they are right in that
view. But theytare not going to carry
Kentucky. 1t is true, probably, that the
Democratic nominee for Governor isn't a
very popular man. A great many Demo-
Gratis do not admire him, but for the sake
of the party it is pretty certain that about
every Democrat will vote for him. And
then he is an extraordinary organizer. He
will have every Democratic voter at the
polls on election day. He will arouse such
enthusiasm during the campaign by his
manner of conducting his canvass that
his enemies in his own party will not do
him any harm. They will be so anxious
to see their party victorious that they
will forget their dislike of the head of the
ticket. William Goebel, from all accounts,
is not man to inspire strong friendships.
He appears to have done some things, both
in and out of politics, which the better
class of Kentuckians don't admire. Sun.
he is the partys candidate and the lead
ers and the rank and file Of the party
will do their duty. There will be very
great surprise among well informed poll
ticans if the Democrats do not carry the
state by large majority.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Kansas City Journal (Rep) says:
But Gen. Wheeler is fighter and he will
continue 20 be a fighter as long as he is
capable of service and his services are
needed. He is something more than
fighter; he is a soldier. responsive at once
TO the highest demands of courage and the
strictest requirements of discipline. He is
still more than fighter and soldier; ne
is patriot He might have gone to the
Philippines with the motto, My country,
right or wrong but he chose TO leave no
question as to his inspiration. He believes
his country is right, and he will fight for
the enforcement Of order where the Amer
lean nag has been unfurled."
The Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd)
says: Some wicked "anti" has dragged
out Of a speech by Abraham Lincoln de-
livered in Congress during the Mexican
war. in which he displayed marked treas
enable tendencies. Mr.. Lincoln actually
attacked James X. Polk, then President
of the United States, and even charged
him with consciousness Of being in the
wrong in a war whose blood. said Lincoln.
like the blood of Abel,is crying to heaven
against him" Hot talk that was! The
wonder, of course, is that Lincoln should
have ventured TO criticise a President run
ming war of conquest"
The Nashville American Dem). discuss
ing the need Of jury reform in Tennessee,
says: ''The establishment of a system
which will bring intelligent men into the
jury box; the enactment of laws for the
speedy punishment of lawbreakers; the
restriction Of the methods now practiced
by many lawyers in the trial of cases, and
the display Of hard common sense and
courage in dealing with counsel and accus-
ed on the part of our judges will do muen
toward discouraging the criminal classes
and destroying the reign of Judge Lynch"
