Mexico and Southern Trade.

Thursday the States gave informa.

to completion, for the establishment o1
a steamship line between New Orleans
and the Mexic ports. This, we are
assured, Is real enterprise and no
fancy dream, and it is in the hands OF
able business men with capital to car.
ry out these plans.
This is the first step that has been
taken in 30 years to develop this city
trade with the South, which is un-
limited. We have sat idle while Eng.
land, France and Germany have gath
erred In that rich trade that lies to the
south of us and which with a little
enterprise will flow into our lap with
its teeming wealth.
In this enterprise New Orleans has
broken the crust of Indifference, and
we hope it is the beginning of a new
era of enterprise, trade and wealth.
In the cities built around the Medi-
fterranean sea gathered the trade, in-
.dustry, enterprise and wealth of the
ancient world, and the Gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean sea are second

THE CUBAN SCANDAL.
Further Light is Shed by the Bristow
Full Report.

The Cuban scandals are revived by
the appearance here for official use OF
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Ge General
Bristow's complete report of his dis
coveries.
A rather curious instance cited is
that which refers to the sudden pay
ment by Director General Rathbone of
d ebt of S., 900 which had run six years
and upon which interest for one year
was owing. The whole obligation
amounting to 1.3s0.41, was extin-
guished within five weeks. The re-
port adds: ut will be remembered
that these payments were made within
thirty days of the date OF the alleged
destruction of the $4,000 worth of
surcharged stamps" 1t is also said
that when Governor General Wood Or
dered the firsi investigation by special
agents Rathbone telegraphed to Neely.s
who was ind seri1a, 10 return at once.
Before the inspectators began opera
tions Nicely was given an opportunity
to straighten out all accounts. This
be did, and the report says that the in
spection was farce.
But the most damaging testimony
against Rathbone was furnished by
Corydon Rich, Neely's private secre-
tary. Rich had several private talks
with Rathbone in which he told him of
certain discrepancies in the money Or
der account, and one item in particular
of $4,000. which Nicely had confided
to him, was the amount of shortage in
that account. Rathbone, it is said.
declined to give any serious attention
to the matter. In the words of Rich,
as given IN this report. ''He said that
Neely's vault checked up according to
the auditors balance: that everything
was all right; that 1 was just panicky,
and not to let the people in my bureau
get panicky."
When Rich asked Rathbone if he
knew how many of the surcharged
stamps were reserved for burning he
replied that be would answer as be
had answered Colonel Burton; for his
purpose he did not know, and he did
not give d"
On one occasion Mrs. Rathbone
came to the United States, accompa-
MED by Private Secretary Wilmot, who
afterward presented to the director a
bill for her expenses, to be paid from
the Cuban Treasury, including, among
other items, the following:
Theatre ticket for May Irwin, So; |
Sc; Spanish dictionary,
81; theatre tickets, the Casino. 81;
stamps and special deliveries. $3.50;
subscription to paper, 81; pocketbook,

also hotel bill, Mrs. Rathbone, $158;
to Hayana for Fannie,
$22. so fannie is supposed to be the
dOg.)
There are three bills for the board OF
Mrs. Rathbone at the Empire Hotel,
New York. all of which include small
items for "wine and bar" These bills |
aggregate about $3.50 for less than a
board. The report shows that
Rathbone Travelled on his own business
in this country at the expense of the
Cuban postal revenues. Coming to
he went to Cleveland,
and New York and back |
and forth between these places, charg-
ing all travel and hotel bills as official |
Many items are sandwich

Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than ''skin Deep" 1t is blood
deep. When the blood is tainted by
disease the flesh will feel it and the skin
will show it. Sallow or muddy COM
plexions, pimples, blOtches, and erup-
tions are only the surface signs Of i'm
pure blood Face washes, lotions, COM
plexlon powders, may pulliate the
evils but they cannot cure the disease.
The only cure Is to cleanse the blood OF
the poisonous matter which is the
cause of the outbreak in the flesh and
skin. Impure blood can be absolutely
purified by the use of DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Its effect on
flesh and skin is marked. Sores heal
and disappear. The skin becomes
smooth, and regains it's natural color.
The eyes brighten and sparkle, the
whole body is radiant with the bright
ness and beauty of health. Golden

Negro InsoIence

Under no circumstances can mob
law be justified in civilized commu-
nifty; but it is only fair to say that the
negroes of New York have brought
tronble upon themselves by the out
rageous insolence of their behavior on
the streets, in tenement houses and in
the cars. They have not been satisfied
with being considered as good as white
people; they have assumed to be su-
perior. The republican party commit
ted gross crime against the republic
by giving them votes before they were
educated to the right use of the fran
chise, and the republicans are always
coddling and petting them by appoint
ments in the national departments as
janitors, porters and letter-carriers in
order to win their ballots. Pulled up
by this political favoritism and pre-
suming upon it, the negroes have made
certain sections of New York uninhabi-
table for the whites, and in cOnse-
queace of the prevalence and arrogance
of negroes white persons find it un.
pleasant to pass along Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth avenues between Twenty
third and Forty-five streets after
nightfall. No other racial quarter of
the city-not even the Chinese quarter
lis SO barred against the majority of
our citizens. While these facts do not
Justify negro batting, they show that
it is to some extent an application Of
the law of retaliation.-[Town Topics.
