THE secretary o. the Stn Juan Club
reports that the signcrS Of the charter
list are paying the entrance fee quite
satisfactorily and that the club is likely
to have fully rs much money for its
equipment as was originally counted
upon. OF course the club should be
able to count safely upon as many
times the initiation fee as there are
signers to the list, for it would not be
fair to presume or assume that any
gentleman would give his written
promise to "pay such entrance fee and
dues rs a majority of the members may
deem il advisable to fin" without do
ing so. 1t will cost several hundred
dollars to furnish and equip the rooms
rs nicely as the members desire TO DO,
but after this is done and paid for the
expense will be small-less to each
member. if the number is as large as
now seems assured, than the average
lodge dues. The charter list will be
open for some days yet, during which
interval new members may be admit
ted, within the discretion of the trus.
tees, upon the charter basis. ANY gen.
tleman desiring to join should apply to
the secretary.

AT the joint meeting of the fruit
growers associations of East Sound
and West Sound last Saturday the
question of freight rates to Seattle was
the main topic considered. 1t does not
appear that the larger shippers are
making much complaint, presumably
because of reasonable concessions
granted them on account of their large
shipments, but most Of the growers are
very evidently convinced that the
present rates are excessive as compared
with the rates on merchandise, grain
and other agricultural products. The
matter will probably be taken up with
the Thompson Steamboat Company
and n satisfactory adjustment is hoped
for. The fruit crop of Orcas this year
promises TO be much larger than ever
before, and even last year, with n small
crop, about $1,000 boxes of apples are
said to Lave been shipped from Orcas
points, of which 600 passed over the
East Sound wharf.

THE results of the Cuban census sur
prise most of the press. Instead of be-
ing dangerously near the condition of
Haiti, it appears that there are about
$4,000 native white Cubans qualified to
vote, as against 26, 600 colored. In view
of this showing, says the New York
Times, "there is not the slightest prob
ability of negro domination Another
unexpected feature is the size of
the population, which numbers L.
572, 797. AS the population before the
last war was reckoned at ,63l ,6S7, this
would make it seem at first thought
that the loss during that time Of sword
and fire was less than 10000. The New
York Tribune, however, estimates that
in the period between the two censuses
the natural increase of population was
probably 100000 or more, so that the
total less by the war may have been be-
tween 250, 900 and 300, 900. The papers
take as an i'll omen the fact that nearly
three fourths of the population are illit-
crate. The Philadelphia Times says:
"This fact alone indicates that the
suffrage will be necessarily restricted

of stable, popular government i'm that
island will be the establishment of a
system Of public schools at which the

TIE Porto Rican tariff bill, which
imposes fifteen per cent of the Dngley
duties upon imports of Porto Rican
products into the United States, ard
fifteen per cent of the DiDgley rates
collected in Porto Rico upon importa-
tons from this country, went into
effect May /, the day that the new
civil government was established and
the first civil governor inaugurated.
All the money collected will be paid
into the Porto Rican treasury to be ex-
pended upon public improvements and
in defraying the expenses of the civil
government. THE ISLANDER has been

that have advocated policy of abso-
lutte free trade with Porto Rico, but it
is not so welded to its idols that it can.
not recognize the good points of the
measure which Congress deemed i, the
part of wisdom to enact. The Review
of Reviews, which has been an able
and consistent advocate Of unrestricted
trade with Porto Rico and Hawaii.
sums up the matter fairly and clearly
in an editorial in the May issue from
which we quote the following:
"Now let nobody feel in conscience
bound to say that in passing such bill
we have selfishly and wickedly broken
faith with the people of Porto Rico,
and have invented an oppressive
scheme for taxing them without their
consent. "A great deal Of this sort of
accusation has appeared in the news
papers, audit is remote from the truth.
Under the arrangement provided 10y
the bill, the Porto Ricans will enjoy
the stability and general protection rs
sured them under the sovereignty of
the United States, without paying a
penny, directly or indirectly, of federal
taxes. The small duty they will pay
on imports from the United States
simply gives them an easy and con-
venient way to raise taxes for tn, ir
local expenses of administration,
schools and public works. AS for the
tax that will be collected i'm the United
States Oh imports from Porto Rico,
this-according to the unanimous opin-
ion of all American free trade authori-
ties for the past half century-will
come out of the pockets of the people of
the United States. Thus, to the full
extent of this tariff on imports from
Porto Rico, we shall be levying q tax
upon ourselves for the benefit of the
islanders, inasmuch as we are sending
the proceeds to them. 1t is true that
they have wanted tree trade, so as to
be put, As far as possible, i'm the posi-
ton of citiZers Of the United States.
But apart from sentiment, and as a
purely financial proposition, they
would find it hard to prove that free
trade would be as advantageous to

have $3.50 and an increase of One-tenth

states that the pension of teachers in
