Money Not Being Invested.

There is a great deal of money in Cuba
available for investment, though it is also
true that $13O,00OOOO in gold was with
drawn from the island to Spain during 1899.
The local money is kept either in Havana
or in foreign countries. Despite what has
already been done toward stability this
money is not now flowing into investment
channels to any appreciable degree. The
millions went to Spain because their own
ers feared Cuban independence. The home
money is not being invested by wealthy Gu
bans. not because they are waiting for an
independent republic, but because they fear
one. If the Americans would issue a guar
antee that they were going to remain in
control there would be a tremendous out
pouring of this money into localities and
business enterprises where it is sorely
needed. The prosperity of Cuba is not a
political question; it is commercial. Every
West Indian island of consequence is treat
ed considerably by the United States ex-
cept Cuba. To others We give reciprocity
To Porto Rico We give practically free en-
try of her products into United States mar

Tobacco and Sugar,


The agriculture of Cuba is based on sugar
and tobacco. The customs dues fall hesy-
lest upon the latter article; in fact so
heavily that Cuba has now reached the full
limit of the profitable cultivation of tobac-
co. With concessions from the United States
as to markets Cuba could increase her to-
bacco output tenfold and find market for
1t all. The sugar business is depressed the
world over. Cuba is held aloof by the
United States and put upon the same basis
as an entire commercial stranger The
problem of the effect of a friendly COM
mereial attitude toward Cuba upon like In
duStrieS in the United States is another
question. 1t Is only the intention here to
look at these matters from a Cuban point
OF view. From this standpoint an indepen-
cent Cuba Is besSar at the gates. AS
colonial possession, with customs privileges
similar to those of Porto Rico, or as an in
tegral part of the United States Cuba
would at once become immensely prosper
Gus and perfectly safe as regards life prop
erty and the dispensation of Justice The
political chickering's of selfish and unscrupu-
louS aS1tatorS would at once assume their
true relation of insignificance to the real
lie OF the people. At present the appoint
ment of a Cuban agitator to office ranks
superior as news item to the announce
ment that Cuban commerce is suffering
from competition created by the limited

is merely surface ebullition, the latter a.

Occupation Not Popular.
For time the people of Cuba will be
opposed to the annexation of the island to
the United States. or, in fact, anything less
than complete independence. The Ameri-
can occupation has not made itself particu-
iarly popular. The full flush of the posi-
bilities Of home rule are upon the people.
This feeling is ingentously fostered and en-
couraged by those who expect to profit
thereby. The Spaniards. the owners of
property among the Cubans, and the great
mass of the people who are neither politi-
clans. warriors or adventures, desire a
reign OF peace. They fear the possible re-
currence of a time Of war and they re-
member the evils Of the Spanish system, but
they also recognize the military and re-
straining character of the American occu-
patton and realize that these Americans are
aliens In blood and mind. The Spaniards

An intelligent looking boy walked in- to a grocer's shop the other day, and, reading from a paper, said:
 'I want six pounds of sugar at 2Ad 2 pound"

NEW UNIFORM FOR WOODMEN.

Washington-The forest superint nd- ents and Woodmen in Montana have re- gently adopted a uniform which will be worn by them while ranging in the public forest reservations in that state during the coming winter. These uni forms have been submitted to the sec retary of the interior and the commits sioner of the general land office, and ef- forts may be made to have all govern ment forest employees furnished with similar clothing. These men are eX- posed to much bad weather. A suitable uniform is certainly essential to their performing their duties satisfactorily.
 Now that the forest reservations have become a source uf revenue tD the gov ernment tha duties of ,ne foresters are more rigid. In 1898 there was cut and sold about $35O. 900 worth Of timber from western fores= reserves. With proper care of the forests and an efficient corps of men to guard against forest fires, it is expected that this revenue will steadily increase.
 Timber is in every country an i'm portant natural product. and in this country it has been especially plentiful, but up to within four or five years the American forests were allowed to run down and left in bad condition. Since Commissioner Binger Hermann became the official head controlling the forests many schemes have been instituted to repair the damaged forests, and their present improved condition is largely due to his strenuous efforts. One of his most recent schemes is the telephone system, which was established in Cali fornia last spring. This system was only an experiment, but in all probabl- ity it will eventually be extended to all forest reserves in the United States New York Tribune.

BEvERIDGE GOT TO COLLEGE.

Robert Shackleton, in a lengthy ar ticle on Senator Albert J. Beveridge, in this weeks number of the Saturday Evening Pest. writes: After these eX- periences-he was then only 14-young Beveridge determined to carry out his determination to go to college. For time he sold papers and out of his prof its bought a suit of clothes. He worked in the DOstofIice. drove a dray and hauled lnmber. and. by working contin- uously, contrived to save a little mon- ey. In the meanwhile. things looked bright upon the farm; but the great drought of 1S7S-9 destroyed the crops and the small sum that the boy had saved went to his father and mother.
 Tt was then that the promised edu- cation seemed absolutely hopeless, but it happened that there was a vacancy al West Point, and the place was thrown open to competitive eXamina- tion. Young Beveridge took the exam ination and did well in every study ex cept one. While he was reading a wag among the contestants made him laugh and this incident lost him the scholar ship by one-ffth of one per cent.
 When young Beveridge learned that he had lost he was wretchedly misera- ble. He was standing upon a corner, not knowing what to do or where to turn, when Edward Anderson came along
 Whats the matter?" he asked.
 More than enough" was the reply. 'I failed to get the West Point schol- arship. and I don't see how I can ever get college education"
 You go ahead and get ready" said MT. Anderson. "Ill see you through.
 ''The offer was accepted. He went ahead and got ready and gave MT. An dersCn his note for the $50 which he loaned him. Mr. Anderson says that this was the best investment he ever made.
 Young Beveridge's struggle through collegs was one of pluck and hard work. He won a prize and his father was able to send him a little money: and these combined to put him through the first term. During the summer va cation he cut more than 210 acres of wheat and drove the first self binder eyer seen in that region. With the money earned he was able to return to his studies. s.''-Saturday Evening Post.

BRET HARTE AND THE WAITRESS

Bret Harte has so long been resi- dent of Great Britain that the day of nis early fame, when he was new writer, and when from time to time he appeared on the American lecture plat form seems far away.
 He still loves to tell anecdotes of those early days, and among his sto- ries is one of the time he lectured at the famous New England town of Con cord, Mass.
 On the morning following his lecture he went down into the dining room Of he inn with his mind filled with thoughts of tha men who had made the name of Concord so widely famous.
 He looked drsamily from the window fancying Hawthorne and Emerson and Thors au and AlcCtt as they once paced along that village street. He was so wrapped up in thoughts of the past that he forgot the present, and did nct notice that a pt.m young woman waiter was standing patiently beside him.
 When she saw that at length she was observed she rattled out swiftly and without break between the words: "Mush, coffee. ham, eggs and bacon. l enjoyed your lecture last night very much MT. Harte. There was a very se- feet audience"

The announcement that the Carnegie Steel company is arranging to send lake steamers across the ocean with cargoes of it's products points to a com ing demand for a ship canal from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes even more urgent than the one that has existed for some time. Not only is the canal wanted in order that freight from in land ports may be carried across the ocean without. breaking bulk but also in order that the ship yards of the lakes may send their product to the Atlantic without the expense and pos sible risk of passing through the Cana dian canals. A waterway from the lakes to the ocean. through United States territory, is one of the things that will be imperative in the near fu- ture.

THE BIGGEST YET.

Dr. Geo. WhOmes comes back to Tue son with the biggest fish story of the season. but the best of it is that it is true. The doctor has been summering at Redondo. catching all kinds of little fish. but the climax was reached when he located a big fish ninety-ona feet long and weighing one hundred and forty-fOur tons. The whale, for such it was, was washed ashore, and the fact becoming known to the doctor he immediately located the fish, tackled un an oil location notice and made preDa- rations to get the oil out of his new find. The net result was fifteen barrels of whale oil which was marketed in Los Angeles. Having secured the teeth tha doctor desires to announce to Arizo- mans that he is prepared to fill all kinds of teeth, from the smallest to the larF- est.

MRS. GILDER'S BIG FARM

Within recent years a number Of prominent American women have gone ,n for ''parsonally conducted' farms. The daughters of Abram $. Hewitt are successful and enthusiastic farmers, and butter from the Hewitt farm brings fabolous price per pound In New York city. Mrs. Richard Watson Glider has 8 farm of 25O acres near LenoX, on which she laughingly de clares everything which appears on her table except paprinka and olive oil are raised. The farm surplus which is sent to LenoX, would probably enable her family to continue to enjoy t1esa luXuries in case of reversas.
 Mrs. Gilder's place gives' itself airs and gracss in the shape of machinery run by natural water power, which churns, saws wood and does other use ful but unpoetical things. She main tains that her farm supports her family luXuriously, besides furnishing unlim- ited entertainment. The Gilders stay ct LenoX till the last leaf falls, and when they reluctantly leave for New York the mutton, poultry and dairy products are sent to town, and now En- Gtish history is repeating itself

 MAJOR. was yet in progress, in
 order, as he said, that he might feel himself free to talk pol itics Major Mckinley went into the war of the rebellion a private soldier with musket and knapsack on his back. By brave and soldierly conduct he went up through the several grades of the non commissioned staff and finally earned a commission. He stuck to his soldierly duties from 1861 to 1865, and when the war was over he was mus tered out of the service of his country at the age of 21 With the rank of cap tain and the brevet rank of major. He felt no call to leave his country's army in order to talk politics. He was there to uphold the flag, to preserve the re- public. to put down rebellion. MT. Bryan was not of an age to get into the civil war. If he had been it is doubtful if he would have joined the Union forces. He is represented as a dutiful son much devoted to his father, a gen tleman whose sympathies were with the south and the cause of secession.
 A comparison of the military records of these two American soldiers is use ful because it gives substance and meaning to their present attitude with respect to the issue of imperialism" Mir Bryan, the man who resigned his commission .n the midst of a war in order to have the privilege of engag- ing in politics, charges the man who fought four years to preserve the American republic with the present purpose of destroying that republic and erecting a monarchy in its stead. And now the question is. what are the prob able facts with respect to the spirit and intention of the man so accused?
 MT. Bryan has grown wonderfully eloquent over his alleged devotion to the cause of freedom and self govern ment. Yet in this respect his eloquence has been surpassed by the utterances of President Mckinley, which. if les frequent, have the ring Of absolute sincerity. The president has not deemed it necessary to din continually into the ears of the American people the boast that he is loyal to the spirit

It has been popularly supposed that Senator Stewart owned the state of Nevada, in a political sense, but the resolution of the silver convention of that state, demanding his resignation, his ownership. It may. however, indi- cate that Nevada has renounced it's silver heresy and become republican again, and that Senator Stewart has been shrewd enough to see the way public opinion was going and to take early advantage of it.

GLASS REFUSE MAKES BRICKS.

An important discovery Is said to have been made by Dr. Ormandy of St. Helens, formerly science master of the Gamble institute. He has succeeded in producing bricks of a commercially valuable character from the waste heaps at glass making establishments This refuse, of which millions of tons have accumulated. consists mainly of spent sand, minute particles of glass and about three per cent. of iron from the various processes. And it has hith- erto been considered that the presence of iron prevented the use of the materi- al in the manufacture of bricks The experiments carried out by Dr. Orman- dy have negatived this hypothesis and he has successfully established the fact that bricks can be produced out of the waste by special treatment.-Lon- don Telegraph.

BRYAN A MAGIC NAME THERE

New York-Lieutenapt Robert F. Me Milan, who was recently lnvalidei home, tells an amusing story of the effect the name of Bryan has on the average Filipino.
 One day in December he was sent out with a company of Macabebe scouts to capture the town of Santo Tomas, in one of the northern provinces of Lu- zon. With him went a newspaper man named Burton a tall, raw boned Irish man, who said he had served a term In the English army.
 After a sharp fight, in which several Filipinos were killed the fighting men fled from the village, and the Ameri- cans entered it, but received a very chilly reception.
 Burton, who was fond of a practical joke, becoming somewhat hungry, asked Lieutenant McMillan to accom- pany him to the house of the village padre, and see him play a trick worth a hundred rifles. They found the old gentleman at home, and, in very bad Spanish, Burton introduced himself g
 Your reverence" said Burton, my name is. William Jennings Bryan. am a cousin of the great William Jen- nings Bryan, who is the leading Fili- pinist of the United States. and who hopes. therefore, to be the next pres!- dent
 The padre fell on his knees. He grabbed the hand of the cousin of the great Bryan and assured him that the whole island was his. Then people swarmed about the padres house in great amazement and reverence. Ever kind of townsman came out f the haupts and Gn impromptu serepade b.

of the American republic On occasion he has given voice to sentiments that could only proceed from the heart of a pure patriot, and it is to a few of these that We would invite attention:
 We are not a nation of classes, but honorable people, despising the dema- gogues and never capitulating to dis honor"
 "The American people have never failed, no matter how great the crisis, to measure up to the highest respOnsi- bilities of honor and duty
 Let us keep steady hearts and steady heads. The country is going not backward, but forward"
 Tn this contest all the banner we want Is the American flag; it repre- poses. It was never degraded or de- serted, and 1t will not be now, when more patriotic men are guarding it than ever before in our history"
  liberty and humanity, and none will be; we will perform without fear every national and international obligation"
 We have been moving in untried paths. but our steps have been guided by honor and duty. No imperial de- signs turk in the American mind. They are alien to American thought and pur- pose. Our priceless principles undergo no change under a tropical sun. They go with the flag
 Our flag is there, not as the symbol of oppression, not as the token of tyr amy. not as the emblem of enslave- ment, but representing there. as it does here, liberty, humanity and civiliza- tion.'
 The republican party was dedicated to freedom forty-four years ago. It has been the party of liberty and eman- cipation from that hour; not of oppres- sion, but of performance. It broke the shackles of 4.OOO,OOO slaves and made them free, and to the party of Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity which it has bravely met in the libera- tion of 1oOOO,OOO of the human family from the yoke of imperialism"
 And yet the man who breathes these patriotic sentiments is accused by his rival in the presidential election of being at the head of a conspiracy to overthrow a government of freedom and establish an empire in its stead The American people are asked to be- lieve that this man, who gave four years of his life to fighting for the re- public when it really was assailed: who came up from the people and loves the institutions of liberty-they are asked to believe, we say. that he is traitor to honor. justice. truth, freedom and the flag! And who are his accus- CTS? They find their strongholds in the states where Major" Mckinley fought to preserve the Union. They find their mouthpiece in "Colonel'' Bryan, who left the flag to engage in the peaceful and profitable occupation of slandering his country's saviors!
