W. Jasper Talbert. Of Parksyille. Edgefield
County, S C.. yesterday helped the Re
publicans in the House make many a vote
for that party in the November elections.
Mr. Talbert is a Democrat. He couceives
it his patriotic duty to denounce every
pension claim as a raid on the Treasury.
and every pension applicant as a fraud
Yesterday was private pension day in the
House. and Mr. TalbeTt was at his best as
an assistant Republican. Members on his
side Of the House who represent many
thousand veterans of the Union Army
trembled and shook with fear as Mr.. Tai
bert's eloQuence grew in frenzy. They are
aware that when they ask for reelection
they will be confronted by garbled eN-
tracts fro n the half dozen or more
speeches made by the eminent South Caro-
linan yesterday as expressions of the
Democratic attitude of hostility toward
the men who fought for the preservation
of the Unicn. But withal Mr. TaIbert did
not waste his time entirely nor speak with
no effect The Hon. Joseph CrOcker Sib-
ley tackled him, and got this for his pains:
4 shall pay no attention to the smooth
faced chameleon from Pennsylvania who
jumps from silver to gold with facile ease

slteratiOn OF all good men. but eHti-ex-

Interesting Facts IN Regard to Cuba.
Mr. Il. &. Swan. in an. interesting letter
from Havana says
a glance at the census returns, recently
compIeted under American supervision.
reveals some interesting facts in regard
to Cuba and her people heretofore un-
known. The total population of the
island, as officially announced by the.
war department. is I,s72.7s7. Havana
IS the largest CITY, having population of
235, osI. The returns show that 40 per
cent of the citizens of Havana are of for.
eisn birth, while the percentage of those
of foreign birth of the entire island is
only g. showing that outside of the city
the great mass of people are native Gu
bans. Until after the census was takenit
was generally believed that the majority
of the population were colored people,
but the census shows that this class of
citizens. including all persons having coll
ored blood in their veins, number only
90 per cent. of the entire population
thus more than one-half of the inhabitants
of Cuba are white Another surprise is
the large excess of males, amounting to
oa per cent. This fact is due to the inn
migration of laborers from Spain, the
Canary Islands and elsewhere to an ex-
tent sufficient to more than offset the
number of men killed during the war
Its also shown that two-thlrds of the
people are illiterate and that only "a per
cent. are married. the majority of adults
living together asman and wife by mutual
consent. 1t necessarily follows that a
great number are of illegitimate birth
This is a deplorable fact, but nevertheless
true. and is attributable to the great OBJ
stacles which have heretofore existed to
thecelebration of the marriage ceremony.
Aside from the multitudinous formalities,
both civil and religious. that were re
quired, the financial considerations ex-
acted were so .exorbitant as to carry the
luxury beyond the grasp of the ordinary
citizen. Thanks to the American adj
ministration, great many of these oh.
staoles have been removed and the cause
of civilization in the island has taken a
step forward,
