tion Appoiniees in the Cuban
Postal Department

One of the chief grounds of COM
plant against Spanish colonial rule
was the corruption which permitted
Imen like WeylerS to assume Office in
comparative poverty, and retire with
large wealth. Indeed. the Spaniards
treated their colonies as Klondikes. to
be worked for the benefit of the officials
fortunate enough to be appointed to
the posts of authority in those places.
This fact was well known in New York,
where exporters Of articles needed in
Cuba had to take into account the pc
culiar methods of the Spanish custom
house authorities.
1t was hoped that when the island of
Cuba fell under American control, TO
be fitted for independence by American
preeept ind example the methods of adj
ministration would be such is to prove
to the Cubans the superiority of the
United States over Spain in all the at
tributes of free. government, and espe-
cially in honest dealing with the funds
which of right belong to the Cuban
people, and are supposed to collected,
and expended for their benefit. Every
patriotic American, irrespective of
party, desired that Americans intrust-.
ed with authority in Cuba would make
an honorable record for themselves and.
their country. 8

The Truth Concealed.

The administration has notbeen dis
playing much anxiety to furnish in
formation concerning its tariff doings
in the crown colonies. On January rs
the senate by resolution called on the
secretary of war for full and exact
copies of all proclamations issued or
made respecting the collection Of
customs, internal and other revenues
IN Cuba and the American island ter
ritories, together with the rates and
amounts and. total amount of such
revenues, and list OF persons with
their compensation engaged in the
services named. No information in
reply to that resolution has been fur
nished. Why2 Is the department
afraid to expose even the shell OF the
colonial system ? Washington Times.

ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.
HOW IT WORKS.
An Illustrative Instance of the short.
- sightedness of Republican
SpeIIhinders.

Senator Shonp. of Idaho, gives us
an Illustration OF the way in which
the prosperity argument is going to
be worked in his part of the country.
s He. takes lead for the purpose of
presenting the argument in the co l.
crete.
During the Harrison administra-
tion, he says, the price was from S4.so
to s4.30. Under Cleveland it tumbled
all the way along down from s4.3o to
$3.50. But when Mckinley took hold
and waved his magic wand up shot
lead to S4.T0.
/ That is bound to fetch 'em. Every
lead producer is sure TO fling his hat
aloft and yell: 'Whoop. Hurrah for
Mckinley and prosperity.
Now, take sheep" says the sena-
tor. Under Harrison sheep were
bringing from s2.25 to $3.50 per head
in Idaho. Under Cleveland they went
down, down to s1.27. But under Me-
kinley they have bounded away up to
$3.50. So there you are again Is any
shepherd going to throw Mckinley
over and take his chances with
democratic president again? Not if.
he appreciates the force of republic
an logic.
Our people are not fools, says the
Idaho senator. They know what is
good for Them Which implies that
they know that when the democrats
are in power they put prices down
and when the republicans are in pow
er they put pricesoup.
The assumption is anything but
complimentary 20 the popular intelli-
gence. But. granting it to be true
for the sake of the argument, what

Over 1900 men. are said to have
been thrown out of work by the new
departure of the steel and wire trust.
The tobacco and sugar trusts have also
dispensed with a good deal of assist
anee. When the presidential cam
paign opens there will be good deal of
analyzation of the claim that the trust
system assures continuous employment
for all who want to work at high wages.
The truth is. that the success of the.
trusts depends largely on the cheap
ness Of labor, and the trust managers
get their work done at as low hg-
ure as possible. and when they get
overstocked they discharge men with
cut complinetion. There is no senfi-
