There were a few Cuban leaders who

when you reflect upon the many instances
In which Spain broke her solemn pledges to

Congress and the vigorous methods Of re-

Wood since his Inauguration have dispelled
most of this, and today the grumblers in

HAVANA, Cuba February M, 1900.
General Ruis Rivera, secretary of ag-
riculture. commerce and industry, who
has just returned with General Wood from
a tour OF investigation through the prov
inces east of Havana. has assumed perhaps
the most difficult task of any member of
the ca binet
Upon his shoulders falls primarily the
duty of solving the great problem of re-
facilitating the island agriculturally after
the awful and widespread devastation of
war. The secretary himself says of the sit
uatfon: Were the resources and neces-
sary capital at hand the task would be a
comparatively simple one, because both
soil and climate are always ready to do
their share. As it is we lack roads, bridges
horses, mules. oxen farming implements
and seed; We lack everything but what ma
ture herself Affords
But Gen. Rivera is pre-cminently a man
OF action. man Of quick and comprehen-
siVe Judgment and he has jumped into the
work before him with all the energy and
enthusiasm which marked his service as a
soldier in the late war.
A Remarkable Career
Major General Ruis Rivera was born in
Porto Rico. He has been identified with
every movement for the independence of
Cuba since his early youth He fought
with Antonio Maceo in the Occidente and
when Maceo was killed took command Of
his forces. directing the battle of the Rubi
hills, perhaps the most bloody and ma
fought of any in the recent Cuban war
1t will be remembered that a little later
Rivera was wounded. captured and confined
in Cabanas. He refused to accept liberty
on condition of not again taking up arms
against Spain, and was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life on Ceuta. He was a
prisoner there until released at the terminal
ton of the Spanish-American war, when he
was liberated at the request of the United
States. He was appointed civil governor
of Havana province under Gen. Brooke:
Gen. Wood selected him member of

WrathY Merchants.

The whole "kit and billing" of the
wholesale merchants of Texas, are
up in arms against the railroads,
because poor little Texarkana away
off down in north Texas and south
east Arkansas, is favored by the
Interstate Commission, with a bet
ter freight rate than some of the
most pretentions cities in Texas,
and for this reason the wholesalers
have met and drafted resolutions of
protest and sent delegations to
visit the Railroad Commission to
get their grievances adjusted. Of
course the Texas Railroad Commits
sion can't do a thing for these NAL
contents for it does not come under
their jurisdiction, but it seems that
the wholesale merchants can under
stand this and insist that the state
commission cut the local rates down
in the state in order that they may
compete with our merchants here.
Now we have only one suggestion
to offer these complaining mer-
chants and that is, 'if they cannot
move the mountain, they must
move to the mountain" and
when this is done their troubles
will be at an end. We have
plenty of room here for every
wholesale house in Texas, so come
right along when you have so little
to growl about.

BILLIONAIRE HAS ARRIVED.

The Standard Oil Co. has declared
a quarterly divided of $40 a share,
payable June Is. This makes a
total of $50 a share placed to the
stockholders since Jan. /, 1900.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller owns
S31, 100000 of the Standard Oil
stock His share in the dividend
will be So, 100000, which will make
his profits s12, 400, 900 since January
lst. Adding to this the profits in
his holdings of stock in subsidiary
companies, Mr.. Rockefeller's income
this year is estimated 5000, 900.
At 5 per cent this represented a
capital of 81, 800, 900, 900.
The enormous power of such vast
wealth is scarcely conceivable. John
D. Rockefeller with his associates in
his various syndicates wields a
power which may be greater than
the government itself.
Kings and princes have in times
past ruled as absolute monarchs,
but it is doubtful if they ever en-
joyed the dominion over their sub
ects possessed by the man or men
who can command the wealth OF
this republic.
Power once resided in politicaI

tage, which is rapidly passing into

We need a park for the city is
what every one says and what all
say must be true. Chic Springs is
the most elegible piece of ground in
sight according to the reporters
idea, and car line out there would
make money. If there is any other
locality around easier of access that
can be reached by a street car line,
send in the place and we will give it
an airing We must have a park
and. should get a move on ourselves
and secure one. Chicago expends
three millions a year on its parks
and the park commissioners are now
buying small tracks of ground in
the city and converting them into
shady parks for the children to
romp in and play, but Texarkana
with all of its cheap lands lying in
and near the city is making nc
provisions to secure park grounds
for the present or future.
