Sanger to-day made public the compen-
dious results of the Cuban census taken

very instructive and. in the opinion of
the War Department officials fully
Justify the decision of the administra-
ton To allow municipal suffrage in
Cuba ut this early stage. The officials
are gratified 10 find that the native
Cubans constitute so large n proper
ton of the population; that the whites
so greatly outnumber the blacks. and
that SO large Il proportion of the native
population can read and wrllc.
In their opinion. there seems tn he no
room for the objection that the pro-
posed basis OF suffrage would result in
turning the island over 10 the control of
Spain.
The total population of Cuba is 1.572.-

MR.. BRUMM'S BAD BREAK.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir-At the Republican meeting on
Monday night the speaker, Mr.. Charles
H. Brumm, made use of the following
language:
"As financiers, the Democrats have
not intelligence enough to run pea
nut stand"
He should have toll the audience
bit of history concerning the financial
ability Of Mr.. Mckinley, and how he
was mortgaged to Boss Hanna. That
would have been fact upon which he
could have enlarged with great eff
feet
Another Islander, which will be re-
sented by many good Republicans, was
the assertion that the Democrats
hated the American soldier" Every
honest citizen knows that there is no
lack Of Democrats in the army and
none moreeager to volunteer when dan
ger threatens the republic. The man
who would entertain and express such
sentiments about the half or more of
his countrymen is not worthy Of the
respect or suffrage Of his neighbors.
and that II their opinion of him at
home, as shown by the result OF the
last election in the Thirteenth dis
trict Of Pennsylvania, he being defeat
ed by a majority of twenty-five hun
dred votes. Mr.. Brumm was brought
here BY Captain Dovener to make votes
for himself by blackmailing ana SIAN
dering the Democratic party.
