1900-1901, and by resolution requested the
Board of Finance to grant them total

English yarn, were imported in quantities cx-
ceeding the figures for 1898. As regards the
falling off in T.cloths. IL is explained that their
place is taken by what are generally known in
the trade 'Contnentals' which are ihcu,ed
in our returns under the heading of shcetngs
English sheetings show an advance from 523,-
1866 to 762 pieces and the increase must be
ascribed partly to Continentals and partly to the
higher prices which prevailed in the United
states. American shcetings rose again, from
2,4SS,99l to 3,975,9O3 pieces.
The feature most worthy of note was the
continued advance Of American and japanese
goods, the latter especially showing very rapid
development The class of white shrtngs now
imported is greatly superior to what came for
merly, the people demanding better article. 1t
is worth noticing, as evidence of prosperity, that
what may be described at cotton goods de luxe,
such as chlntzes, printed twills cambrics, etc,
and handkerchefs Jumped from 305,3l4 to 67s,-
S56 dozens. Cotton flannel showed remarkable
increase, from 1856 to 397, 400 pieces and
Japanese cotton flannel from $685. to 176,676
pieces English cotton yarn suffered a falling
of, while Indian and japanese increased the
latter have now risen to 779,7OO riculs. Il is
probable that the local mills will gradually get
the better Of their foreign rivals The yarn
made from Chinese cotton is much whittier than
the Indian yarn and obtains better prices, which
explains why Japan imports raw cotton from

railways are now opening up districts previously
cut of from communication with ports, it is
fairly safe to predict that in less than another
ten years the trade will have again doubled
Exports are at present checked by price and in
ierior quality-the former due to cost of car
rage and heavy taxation, the latter to adutera-
tion or faulty methods of preparation for foreign
markets. Prices will come down when railroads
bring the goods more cheaply to the ports and
increase the supply"

have been a poor boon to Cuba to
drive the sraniards out and leave her
to care for herself, with two-thirds
of her people unable to read and write
and wholly ignorant of the art Of
government, and without any
political system under which the
peaceable, home-loving majority of her
people could find an opportunity to
take part in the government. Instead
of that, We are trying to give the
Cuban people just as fair and favor
able a start In governing themselves
as possible and to help them to avoid
the conditions which have subjected
Hayti, San Domingo and the Central
American republics to continuous revo-
luton and disorder.
"The Cubans are behaving admir-
ably, and 1 have great hopes for them.
The great difficulty with which they
have to contend is that they have had
no experience in anything except
Spanish customs and Spanish meth
DDS which have grown up for centu-
ries under a system opposed to gen.
eral education and to self-government.
To succeed in their experiment the
Cubans must necessarily acquire some
new ideas and new methods. That is
very hard thing for a whole people
to do, and it cannot be done by hav-
ing outsiders preach to them. It IN
something that they have to do them
selves. The best that anybody else
can do is to afford them opportunity
of seeing and studying new methods.
The greatest opportunity that has vet
been suggested for the accomplish
ment of this necessary work is the
Massachusetts. to see for themselves
the University of Harvard and the in
stitutions and life of the state, and
to explain to them what they see and
it's bearing upon their work for the
education of their own countrymen.
l believe that this body of teachers
going back after their experiences
here, and scattering into every munici-
jality III Cuba, will carry back more
saving grace for peaceful and prosper
Gus Cuba than the whole power OF
the government could accomplish in
any other way"
This is without doubt the truest
thing that has been written of Cuba.
1t puts volumes into a stickful.

AN EMPTY NEST.

Never sign in this empty nest
Ot the love that mated the love that sung;
The birds are flown to the cast and vest
And the husk of their homestead has no tongue
To tell of the sweet still summer ewes.
OF the swecter merrier summer days:
Only nest in the falling leaves,
And silence here in the woods dark maze.
But hold in my hand the dainty thing,
Woven of feather ard Huf and reed.
Once twas the haven Of breast and wing,
And the shelter of callow and helpless need.
1t tells OF a passionate gladness gonc;
1t dumby whispers that love is best;
That never a night but has had dawn
And drop kiss in the empty nest.

in the Endorsement Of reputable friends
of both parties, and in their general
appearance and manner of doing bus
mess. This man Neeley, the alleged
chief embeEsler, had Endorsements of
a character which would have secured
his employment by any private em-
ployer in the country needing a man
quickly and having to take one on the
word of others until such time as per-
sonal study of subordinates could
qualify the employer to do his own
picking. No more surprised set of men
are to be found in the United States
than the immediate friends and neigh
bors Of Neeley in Indiana, who have
known him intimately all their lives
and who would have trusted him with
their last cent.

tration, which has to bear the brunt
of the responsibility for the way af-
fairs are administered in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines, would be
foolish If it put men in responsible
places who were not believed at the
time to be the best that it could Sc

record for honesty, efficiency ability

tcrproof and who are not. That test
has TO lie made in the crucible Of ac-
tual experience. There is no other
wav.
The fidelity of the government to
its trust will be exhibited in the steps
which it shall take to bring the guilty
to justice and to strengthen weak
places as they develop. BY this will
it stand or fall.

Secretary Long.

W + AN EASTERN man Is to be
nominated for vice-president at
Il the Philadelphia national con-
vcntion. it seems now to be well
assured that the choice will fall on
'ither Postmaster General Smith or
Secretary John d. Long. Mr. Long is
a candidate in his own name and with
the active support of the delegation
from his own state Mr.. Smith is the
candidate of those who recognize his
exceptional fitness for the place, but
he has not pressed his own claims nor
is the Pennsylvania Republican organ
ization pressing them for him.
We are committed to Mr. Smiths
cause for reasons which have been
fully set forth in these columns. We
consider not only that he possesses in
a pre-cminent degree the peculiar COM
bination of qualities and accomplish
mcnts required in the occupant of the
vice presidential office and that the
cuuntry's recognition of his worth
would so widen during the course Of
the campaign that his nomination

also that the magnificent loyalty of
Pennsylvania to Republican principles
as exhibited in unwaverinE devotion at
the polls and the great part which her
industries and business men are play
ing i'm the practical development of
American expansion fairly entitle the
tiOn is to assemble to contribute to the
national ticket the one nominee not
predetermined. From this proposition
we shall not bulge until the last bal
lot has been counted. 1t is an atti-
tude in which we should have the
earnest support of every Pennsylvania
Republican, as we already have Of
thousands of discriminating Republi-
cans in other states who appreciate
the force of Pennsylvania claim and
marvel that Pcnnsylvanians them
selves do not press it with more spr-
tied determination.
But it gives us pleasure sto recognize
in Secretary Long a competitor of no
mean qualifications. AS an orator he is
not the equal Of Charles Emory Smith
few men are Yet he is a good talker
clear. logical and pleasing talker:
man who never talks without con-
tributing to the sum of human nfor-
nation and instruction. He is also
good secretary of the navy. so good
that if President Mckinley is wise he
will not let him swap jobs. In the
Sampson Schley matter he was both
firm and right. He might have gone
little further and treated Schey to a
court martial; in that matter he erred
if at all, on the side of leniency; but
let that pass. We don't believe that
John ID. Long has had as thorough a
preparation for the delicate duties Of
the presidency as Mr.. Smith has.
He was never minister to Russia. He
has never brought to success a great
newspaper enterprise He is not so
widely acquainted among the leading
men in public life. Still, he is a fine
man, and the party would accept him
cheerfully, but the nominee should and
we hope will be Charles Emory Smith.
