Luther H. Gadd and James w. Owens,
the defeated candidate for Mayor and
City Counsellor, respectively, would
make a contest in the courts, claiming
that in one ward 10 Democratic votes
were thrown out because the Republican
ballot clerk failed to put his initials upon
ballots that were handed to Democratic
voters, but the contest has been aband-
oned. II is also claimed that the Repub-
licans obtained an official ballot, which
was given to their voters to assist them
in voting.
The election in itself was very quiet
affair, and had it not been for the small
groups of men assembled about the vari-
Gus voting places no one would have

o'clock, and for several hours there was
a continual stream of citizens presenting
themselves at the election booths. But
this did not last long, and the remainder
OF the day dragged along with but little

About o'clock. when the work at the
Naval Academy had ceased, the voting
again became lively, and at one time in

THOROUGHLY TESTED.
Simple Method of Cleaning a Wooden
Dress That No One Need Hesi-
tate to Try.

The following simple method OF
cleaning dress skirt has been so thor
oughly tested that no one need hest
tate about trying it. The rule was first
learned from a cook who accidentally
had cup of melted butter spilled over
her dress. 1t was thought to be beyond
retaining, but the cook herself de-
clared that she could take every bit
of the grease out-and she did. Since
then the rule has been applied to many
less hopeless. cases, and invariably with
the most satisfactory of results.
Take three-fourths of a pail of cold
soft water and add one teacupful of
ammonia. Thoroughly brush and shake
the dress skirt, then rinse it up and
down repeatedly in this ammonia wa
ter. After thoroughly "sousing" it,
let it lie in the water for an hour. Once
more rinse it up and down, then take
it out, squeezing the water from it,
but not wringing it.
Put up two lines so that they shall
cross each other and hang the skirt
upon them, pinning the bottom to the
corssed lines so that the skirt shall be
well spread apart.
While the skirt ) still quite damp

blue silk, and is edged all around with
buttonhole stitch in the same color.
The pipes are of white cloth shaded
with long stitches of gray silk, and
edged with yellow. The upper part of
the pouch is of blue cloth, with white
silk edging and yellow dots; the under
part of brown cloth, with black edg-
ing and a pattern worked in chain
stitch with white; the three tassels are
embroidered with black and yellow
silk.
In the second pattern the outer Dor
der is yellow, the knots black; the
small pattern at the top is of blue
cloth edged with yellow; the pipes of
white cloth edged with blue and
shaded with gray. The bundle of
cigars is of brown cloth, shaded with
black stitches. and fastened on with
double rows. of chain stitch in yellow
silk. The cigar case is of light green
cloth, edged with white; the Grecian
pattern and dots are embroidered over
it with white silk also.
To make the pouch up, join the four
pieces together by seams-which are
concealed by gold braid; cut out also
and join four similar pieces of white
kid for the lining; fasten this to the
outside at the top only. Sew small
brass rings round the top, and run
double piece of crimson silk cord
through them. Put silk tassels of va.
rlous colors at the bottom of the pouch

cate them. The leaders of Spanish
thought have from time immemorial
believed in keeping the masses in
ignorance, believing it the best way
to perpetuate the rule of greedy and
overbearing aristocracy. Before the
outbreak of the last insurrection,
which led to our war with Spain,
there were nearly 100000 plantations,
farms, orchards and cattle ranges on
the island, valued at $2O0,OOO,O0O. In
the course of the war thousands of
plantation houses and farm buildings
were destroyed by Spaniards and rev.
olutionists, and entire districts, once
prosperous and peopled by happy
peasants, were reduced to abject pow
erty. From this condition the people
have not yet recovered, although I'M
der the administration of United
States army officers great progress
has been made in the matter of rees-
tablishing plantations and securing
work for the half-starved laboring
men in rural districts.
Under Spanish rule Cuba had no
manufacturing enterprises, excepting
some cigar factories in Havana and
sugar mills, producing raw sugar, mo-
lasses and rum, in the country Since
the Americans have secured control
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-02-07

Of the government various corpora
tions who have attempted to develop
the mineral resources of the island
have met with some measure of sue
cess. In whatever Americans UNDER
take, however, they are hampered by
the prejudices of the uneducated Gu
bans who persist in looking upon
them as invaders instead of benefac-
tors.
Gen. Sanger's report, although nom
committal and scrupulously fair, is
calculated to strengthen the belief
that the Cubans should not be grant
ed absolute independence. The great
mass of the people is unfit to exer-
else the right of franchise, and even
the better educated classes do not
seem to have an adequate conception
of the responsibilities of an indie
pendent government. Under our
treaty with Spain we are more or less
responsible to the civilized world for
the future of Cuba, and as yet there
are no evidences that life and prop
erty would be safe under a native adj
ministration. Nations, like individ-
uals, should be just before they are
generous; and therefore the United
States must always exercise para
mount power over Cuba, even should
it be granted autonomy.
OF the 100, 600 Cubans hardly more
than 25. per cent. are qualified for
citizenship, and this minority is di-
vided into so many factions that the
withdrawal of American troops would
be followed almost Immediately by in
ternational complications and domes-
tic violence, quite as bitter as those
which characterized the uprising
against Spain.
Naturally, the Cubans are an intel
ligent people. Education will make
them an enterprising one, too. But
not until the American schoolmaster
has completed his missionary work
should they be invested with inde-
pendent power.
The leaders of progressive thought
! in Havana, and the merchants in other
trade centers of the island, are in
complete accord with this sentiment.
They realize, perhaps more than we
do, that the prosperity and future
greatness of Cuba depend on the
commercial and industrial develop
ment of the country and the educa-
ton of its ignorant negro and mixed
population, and they know that I'M

ger was placed at the head of the CEN
sus bureau, with Victor H. Olmstead,
an experienced official of the United
States census, as chief of staff. Six
Cuban supervisors, appointed by the
military governor, completed the eX-
ecutive board. That these officials per-
formed their duties honorably and
faithfully is evidenced not only by the
completeness of their reports but also
by the fact that of the appropriation
granted for the taking of the census a
balance of $4,000 remained uneXpend-
ed at the close of the work
The great majority of Cuba's popu-
lation is of Spanish and African de-
scent, and the social conditions in the
country districts bear close resem-
blance to feudalism. The colored and
half-breed elements are held in eco
nomical bondage by the landowners
and planters, and nothing was done
under Spanish rule to elevate or edu-

peace could not be maintained for any
length of time.
To many of us who had serious
doubts as to the wisdom of intrust-
ing Cuba's affairs to military adj
ministration it comes as a pleasant
surprise that not only are the Gu
bans entirely satisfied with what has
been accomplished under that regime
thus far, but that many regret that
the local government affairs have
been transferred to boards and coun-
ellis composed entirely of natives.
They fear that municipal and dis
trict expenditures will not be scru-
tinized as closely as heretofore, and
! that corruption will enter into the let
ting of contracts and the granting of
concessions and franchises. No grand
er tribute could be paid to our army
officers, nor one of which our country
| could be prouder.
The introduction of American farm
machinery is one of the best things
that has happened to Cuba. Hitherto
| agricultural labor has been performed
without the aid of labor-saving imple-
ments, and the crops have been CORE
| spondingly lean and costly. The small
farmers still cling to their patriarchal
ways, but the large landowners are
enthusiastic over the new order of
things, and have not hesitated to 90
into debt for tools which will pay
! for themselves in a few seasons, In
| asmuch as agriculture must, for at
| least 20 years to come, be the chief
| industry of the island, the progressive
ness of the planters is extremely graf
| flying.
But without doubt the greatest
work accomplished by the American
military government in Cuba is the
introduction of modern sanitary
methods and regulations. For CEN
turtles Havana, Santiago and other is
land ports have been the breeding
grounds of the various yellow fever
epidemics which have found their way
to New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah,
Tampa and other American cities. The
filth of ages, which had accumulated
under Spanish rule, was removed; up-
to-date systems of drainage were util-
lied to purify the water supply, and
people were compelled to keep their
houses and dooryards clean. The re-
suit of this concerted crusade against
uncleanliness is most eloquently con-
densed in the simple statement that
never since it's foundation has the
city of Santiago been exempt from
yellow fever until this year.
Whatever may be the ultimate des-
tiny of Cuba, certain it is that her
people owe debt of gratitude to the
United States, aside from freeing them
from Spanish misrule, which years of
devotion scarcely can repay.

Gen. Sanger's Work Furnishes Food
for Thought-PeOple of the Is

lutte Independence.
[Special Correspondence.l

THAT American occupation has
benefited Cuba is cheerfully ad-
mitted by even those islanders
who clamored for absolute indie
pendence as soon as the treaty of peace
between Spain and the United States
had been signed. With the exception
of coterie of rabid revolutionists all
the leaders of Cuban politics have
learned to appreciate the sincerity of
Americas friendship and the people
at large want nothing more than an
autonomous government under the
protection of the United States.
Under the able administration of
Gen. j. P. Sanger, U. S. A, acting for
the war department, a census of the
islands has just been completed, in ac-
cordance with a proclamation issued
by President Mckinley in August, 1899.
The actual work of enumeration was
begun two months later, and within the
incredibly short time of one year the
entire work was completed. When
first issued the presidential proclama-
ton struck terror to the hearts of
many good Cuban patriots who feared
that the taking of the census might
be the first step toward annexation,
especially as it was proposed that the
work should be done under the super
vision of the military governor of the
island, assisted by officers and enlisted
men of the United States army.
Gen. Sanger notified the secretary of
war of the steadily growing dissatis-
faction of the natives and at the elev-
enth hour it was decided that the Off
ces of supervisors and enumerators
should be filled by Cubans, and that
the field work should be performed by
them, under the supervision of an ex-
perienced officer of the United States
census, so that when the enumeration
should be completed it would be cen
sus of Cubans by Cubans. Gen. San

NICE WORK FOR WOMEN.
Fine Little Business for Herself
as Visiting JeweIer.

"My little leather bag contains all
the materials and implements neces-
sary to clean and repair jewelry," Miss
Sara Morton explained. Il go from
house to house in New York and have
all the work that l can do.
You have no idea how many sem
sible women there are who will not
allow their favorite pieces of jewelry
to be repaired by the best houses sim
ply because they fear that some of
their best stones will be changed. l
have many customers who watch me
closely the entire time that l am at
work on their property. 1t was the
discovery of this popularity in a
friend of mine that gave me the idea
of my work. Before actually begin
ming my work 1 entered good estab-
lishment as an apprentice, where 1
learned not only how to clean and re-
pair jewelry, put also old watches, of
which | make a speciality.
Il had absolutely no trouble in get
ting work. My method is very sim
pie. l call, ask for the lady of the
house, explain my business and as a
rule get some work. By this method
l soon had as many regular custom
ers as | could manage, and now l have
many calls that l am obliged to re-
fuse simply for lack of time. Nearly
every woman of liberal means has a
good supply of jewelry, and few of
them keep it in such condition that
it does not need repairing and clean
ing at least every six months. Few
of them are willing to trust the clean
ing of their finer pieces to their maids
and as it is more convenient for them
to let me come in to clean it than
it is for them to collect it and send
it to the jeweler, l get the work.
These are my regular customers.
Those who fear to allow their treasure
into the hands of anyone where they
cannot watch them belong to another
class. AS rule, the articles they
prize so highly are of little value to
anyone besides themselves.
MY charges are less than those of
regular jeweler, and l am particu-
lar to have my work as good. l aver
age five dollars day above the cost
of all materials used and my trans
portation expenses. That l consider
good earning for a woman doing, as
you might say, mechanical work in
New York city. No never take work
home. My evenings are all free, and
so are my Sundays 1 need rest, par
ticularly my eyes. l often buy articles
of my patrons and also act as agent
in bringing purchasers to those who
would like to sell. Many women adj
mire only the latest fashions in Jew
elry just as they do in gowns. When
an article is no longer what they con-
slider stylish they become very anxious
to get rid of it in order to use the
money to get something more 20 their
taste. Knowing that l keep in touch
with the taste and desires of my pa
irons they appeal to me to act as
agent. The majority of these women
keep the jewelers. boxes in which they
buy the articles, and when they are
cleaned and snugly wrapped in their
colored cottons it is hard to distin-
guish them from new. l have sold
many such as wedding presents and
