Taxpayers who do not nav their faxes
al the time fixed for il are subject TO the
procedure called ''apremios." according 10
the rules May IL, 1sSa. approved hy the
government. When 'apremios'' are to be-
gin taxpayers are duly warned by mail
giving them time enough to paw their taxas
before mourning trouble. Apprentices" are of
three degrees. The first one consists in an
increase on the TAX of > per cent. The sec
ond consists Of the seizure and afterward
sale at public auction of cattle and live
stocks. besides the further increase of
per cent. The third consists in the seizure
and sale at public auction of real estate
besides further increase of o per cent.
Powers of Governors.
Methods of local administration differ so
greatly In different provinces in Cuba that
the wisdom of appointing a governor or
commander FOR each province is unquestion-
ed As much latitude as possible should be
given these officials. The provincial gov
ernors should have power to decide all ques-
tons appertafning TO local matters. for the
fewer the references to Havana the sooner
the people of Cuba will realize the differ
ence between Spanish possession and United
States occupancy. For military purposes
the government of the island may be easily
vested In one central authority at Havana
For civil purposes each province should be
made as absolutely independent as is pos
Sible. with general supervision by the COM
mander of the United States forces
Mr.. Porter concludes his report by rec
ommending that the harbor of Santiago be
cleared of all impedmenta: that the light
houses in that vicinity be restored, and
that Diamond Point shoal be removed The
harbor around the docks at Santiago should
also be dredged, as there are only fourteen
and a half feet of water where there ought
to be at least twenty-five feet. A large COW
cred pier 600 feet long. with twenty-five feet
of water alongside, is also required in San
tiago harbor. The tide at Santiago is eight
cen inches. Mr.. Porter also recommends
that the port Of Cienfuegos be dredged as
there are only fourteen feet of water there
now. and the work can easily be done. In
addition he recommends that the custom
house at Guantanamo should be removed to
the road.

Mr.. Porter suggests that, now thu Gus

levying and collecting internal revenue
taxes for the entire island. The question of
separating these taxes from purely munich

Mr.. HargrOve. at BOs ton, on the

cd by manufactures, and his show
ing is enormously instruc tive to
people who have the eyes to see and
the intelligence to understand.
The great wealth of Massachusetts
is 90 times greater than that of
Louisiana, and is all due to manu-.
featuring. Louisiana is 8 times as
big as Massachusetts and has only
Cuo-half the population. The same
may be said of the relative popula-
tiOns of Massachusetts, and MiSsis-
sippi,
Massachusetts has, by the last
census, over 80 cities ranging each
in population from $4,000 to 800.
600. Louisiana has one single city
with population of $4,000 and
oler; while Mississippi has not one.
In Louisiana. 10 per cent Of the
people are engaged in manufactures
and 80 per cent in agriculture. In
ii ssachusetts, 10 per cent of the
people are employed in agriculture
and so Per cent in manufacturing.

a FoRoIBLE LESSON.

When a fellow Is smashed in the face
with the shod heels of mule he may be
said to acquire the habit of avoiding rear
approaches to the aforesaid mule, ever
afterwards.
So ought 1t to be with sensible men in
their relations to political parties.
If political party deceives once by
mitted to deceive b. a similar pledge in
the future.
The commercial travellers case Is a case
In point, In 1896 the commercial man
thought he saw in the election OF Bryan
the overthrow OF prosperity and the loss of
employment The word swung down the
line from the executive heads OF CONNER
cial organizations TO vote for Mckinley.
The order was generally obeyed aud the
travelling man waxed wise and of tremen-
dous consequence.
What he didn't know about finance and
human ken,
But the first thing he knew the combine:
began to spring up with vicious fecundity
under the fostering care of the republican
party. Then conceit was pricked by the
cold pin of actual event and his conse.
quence collapsed like a burst balloon fol
his occupation was few and far between
Now, one OF his number, writing from
Dallas to The Post, gives it out that "ii
the present administration Will ADOPT
some measures ut the next session OF con-
gress that will annihlate trusts It will
deserve and should receive the undivided
support of every commercial traveller in
America" The republican party will do
nothing OF the kind. 1t couldn't If it
would, and wouldn't If 1t could, The re-
publican mule has kicked this writer very
likely. out of a Job. but he still persists
In hanging around its ugly heels.
