Alabama at Buffalo.
tion.

The Alabama Legislature having failed to provide for an Alabama ex- hibit at the all-important Pan-American Fair at Buffalo, it would be eminently proper and in the highest degree praiseworthy for Governor Sanford in his wisdom and lawful discretion to authorize State Commissioner of Ag- riculture Poole to collect and display a State exhibit at that great exhibition of the worlds wealth and resources!
 There is about $80,0O0 practically to the credit of the agricultural de- partment. That money has come from the people, mainly the farmers, of Alabama and it is but common justice that at least some small portion of it be expended in advertising the almost unexampled agricultural, horticultural, garden, timber, and mineral wealth of this State.
 It is perfectly safe to say that Com missioner Poole could, if he were au thorized, make an Alabama agricul tural display at Buffalo that would surpass the exhibit of any other State in the Union. The multitudes who saw Commissioner Poole's exhibit at the State Fair in Birmingham last No vember know what he can do for Ala bama, although he had short notice last year. And what he did for agri- culture then he can do again, and can likewise do as much for the States other marvellous natural resources.
 Commissioner Poole could do won. ders at Buffalo with, say, $5O0O, and The Age-Herald associates itself with the aspirations of all the people in respectfully urging upon Governor Sanford the great desirability of au thorizing Commissioner Poole to spend the money for Alabama's good. Gov ernor Sanford is a true Alabamian az vel, IS a orise and able man. Ala bama always looks to him with entire confidence!

THE SITUATION AS SEEN
 BY THE PEOPLE OF CUBA.
BY EDWIN WARREN euvoL.

am in receipt of telegrams from all over the island. sent by political organ. izations, municipalities and individuals all expressing the same sentiments. which may be summed up as follows:
 The people of Cuba. while they have lost all confidence in the administration's s declaration concerning Cuba's liberty have never lost faith In the generosity and integrity of the American nation. We have known that political schemers were attempting to bring about such legisla- tive measures as would enable them to appropriate whatever they most desired
 That the chicanery indulged in was not known to the majority we are fully aware as we are confident that had Washington announced it's intention to repudiate the Teller resolution the people of the United States would have long since protested so vigorously and forcibly that Congress would never have dared contemplate such measure as the Platt amendment.
 Our position from the first has been that of a people who recognized its own inability to resent what a more powerful nation would never have tolerated. We Cubans never asked the United States for anything more than recognition of our belligerent rights, which recognition was refused in the most positive manner. We never asked for intervention, and we know perfectly we'll that 1t would never have been brought about had the Maine not been destroyed in Havana harbor, or had Spain agreed to pay an indemnity, n manifested 0f an that might assuaged a thirst for ven- geance.
 When the war terminated we accepted

action. The President alone would be the judge.
 The second section of the Platt amendment is equally dangerous In a like direction, for 1t provides that Cuba shall not assume or contract any public debt, to pay the interest upon which and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the ulti. mate discharge of which the ordinary revenues of the island, after defraying the expenses of the government, shall be inadequate" Here again the Presi- dent is necessarily the one to decide. and this gives him right to dictate the domestic policy of Cuba, as the first section gives him a right to die tate it's foreign policy.
 But section third caps the climax when 1t provides that "the United States may exercise the right to in tervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a government adequate for the protec- tion of life, property and individual liberty, and for discharging the obli- gations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States now assumed and to be under taken by the government of Cuba" !" Under this clause the President, and no one else, becomes dictator of Cuba. Congress need not advise, and the Su- preme Court cannot act No one but the President can, and all is left by the dangerous Platt amendment to his discretion and judgment. He can send every ship and every soldier to Cuba without consulting Congress, although Cuba is technically foreign country. This gives him the power to declare war-a power by the way he was quick to exercise in China. This changes our system of government, and it does not change it in Democratic direc- tion.

Russja's Plans in China.

Russia holds Manchuria, and posses sion is nine points of the law. Her promises to withdraw her troops when order is restored, or when this or that is done, provided the action of the powers puts no obstacle in the way, are considered worthless. All feel that they are put forward to deceive, for she is building railways in Manchuria as well as a Siberian line, and every month sees her force in Manchuria increased. She is there to stay despite the other powers, and all international law and decency. j..
 Only two things can make the great bear release its hold upon Manchuria, the one being threat of dismember- ment of China, all of which Russia wants in the long run, and the other is the occupation of Korea by Japan. Much depends upon the courage and readiness of Japan to meet the issue fully and squarely at this time. Her people are willing and ready, and if her authorities give the word a con test will be begun whose ending can not be foreseen.
 At present Russia has no rights out side of the Lioa-Tung peninsula in China. except the right to build the East China Railway through Manchu- ria. During the building of the rail road Russia may occupy the country near the line of it, and under this right she has filled Manchuria with troops. These troops will stay there unless the action of Japan or of the powers drives them out. The railroad should be completed in 1904, but it's comple- tion may De indefinitely delayed.
 This railroad may be purchased by China in thirty-six years, otherwise. it will remain Russia's eighty years. The

Credit Customers Wanted.

Once the cash customer was much preferred or desired, but a writer In the Century Magazine shows that the credit customer is on top. The Gen. tury writer says:
 Shopkeepers sometimes say that the leash customer" is the profitable one, but fashion has already deserted those stores where cash payments are the rule My corner grocer tells me that if each one of his customers should insist on paying cash he would have to employ two extra men just to make the change. Certainly many of us could i'll afford the time to wait for 1t. In the great retail stores women are sometimes detained twenty minutes until half as many cents in change can find way back to them. There Is, therefore, in large cities, where time has a value not attached to 1t in smaller places, a, necessity for credits, for having bills and accounts, and cer- tain quixotic sense 'characterizes the con- duct of those who declaim against the custom of accounts.k
 This change from cash to credits does not apply to the wholesale trade, or, to any branches of industry; but in the larger retail stores in all cities the cash customer is neglected, while the credit customer is carefully cul- tlvated, obtaining all the advantages that are possible in the particular trade. The cash customer is looked upon as one who is both .bothersome in the present time, and who may never be seen again in the store in the future.
 This change is one of the evolutions that time is constantly bringing. It is an apt illustration of the extension of the world of credits-of the con- fidence that one man places in an other. No one fifty years ago would have believed that the time would come when a cash customer would be showed aside by a credit customer in retail stores oI the cities ana larger towns. Cash has lost it's attractions in the heavier retail trade.

establishment of a military governmen. and urged eur soldiers to deliver the,s arms to the American authorities, placing ourselves completely in the hands and at the mercy of the nation whiah had driven Spain from our territory, after calling men and angels te witness that It's action was prompted by purely unselfish and humane motives, and that the United States in- tended to exercise no Jurisdiction, soyer- eighty or control ever Cuba
 We recognize our own powerleseness fo resent except by silent and spoken pro- tests. The United States Is in poweri-thelr forces occupy our territory; their repre- sentatives have for over two years done as they pleased with our finances; their soldiers guard the voluntarily surrendered arms with which we fought against Spain for three years before they came to our assistance, and the generosity of the American people who assisted us secretly in our war with Spain could not be called upon for similar aid against federal forces.
 The foregoing is concrete summary of what is being said and written every day. That the people of the United States have been deliberately misled Is apparent to any one on the ground. The sentiment at large is one of bitter, scorn- full indignation. In this the Spaniards share freely, and are just as outspoken as the Cubans
 Facts about Cuba have been systemat- ically suppressed or distorted, and I speak in the name of my paper and of the Cuban people in expressing thanks for any opportunity of placing before the public the truth as to local conditions and the ideas of the actual situation.

OUR PROMISE TO CUBA
 AND ITS REAL MEANING
BY GEN. FiTZHUGH LEE.

any part of the island. Why? Because it would interfere with it's assumed re- sponsibility for it's pacifcation.
 3. Cuba must not contract a debt whose obligations 1t cannot meet. Why? Be- cause the rights of its citizens and other foreigners whose interests 1t must protect might suffer and unrest and disturbance result.
 8. The United States must be permitted. if necessary, to intervene for the preser- vation of Cuba's independence and the maintenance of a government strong enough to protect life and property and give confidence to capital. Why? Be- cause in this way 1t controls the pacifica- ton of Cuba
 4. Cuba must devise plans satisfactory to the United States for the sanitation of it's cities. Why? Because the ports of the United States must be protected from epidemic and infectious diseases.
 5. That in order to carry out the con- ditions specified the United States will buy or lease certain specified points to be agreed upon with Cuba for coaling and naval stations
 Cubas futurs will be determined by Cubas statemanship. Should the colec- tive Cuban wisdom be sufficient to keep the craft af1oat on the waters of pros- perity and establish a stable government strong enough to protect life and proper ty and give confidence to capital thero will be no disposition on the part O. the United States to interfere; but 4 the gov- ho a fair trial by the Cubans the future des- tiny of the Smile of the Sea" will be forever confined to the care of the great American Republic.
