SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.

A prominent citizen in western state
has been arrested because he viola ted
law which forbids the bringing of a
'6ocked' horse over the border. Some
weeks ago it was said in London that
the queen and the prince of Wales We're
opposed to this cruel mutilation and that
therefore it was likely to become UNI
fashionable in England.
Several members of church in Kutz-

A CUBAN VIEW.

Notwithstanding the attitude of the
governmental affairs the United States
should be ignored, there is upon the is
land strong minority that fully recog-
ni2es the great obligation to this coun-
try under which Cuba will ever rest.
The view of this minority has been ex-
pressed during the session of the consti-
tutonal convention. and was again de-
fined by La Nacion a leading journal of
Havana, on Feb. /. Discussing the con-
ditions confronting Cuba, that paper says
editorially:
The work Of getting up a constitution
is a comparatively easy matter The i'm
portant question of the future is the re-
lations which Cuba is to hold with the
United States. Not only should Cuba
pay back with generosity favors received
but the economical situation for us de-
ponds upon the attitude of the United
States, and the political question. The
bhus resolves itself into an economi-
cal question. The convention in our
Judgment would do we'll to adopt the
following as the basis of these rela atoms.
That the republic of Cuba will respect
and guarantee lives, proverty and ac-
quired rights in the same form as the
United States guaranteed these in the
treaty Of Paris.
That the republic will guarantee right 5
acquired during the American interven-
ton by law. decree. judgment on other
act of the military government.
That the republic, for a period of two
years after the establishment of indie
pendence, will conduct foreign affairs
through the United States; will make
no treaty with any other nation prejud-
cal to the United States, and will ac-
cept no compromise which might give rise
TO the occupation of the island or to in
prevention in its customs
That the United States for a period of
two years after the establishment of in
dependence, may occupy forts in Cuba
provided the Cuban flag flies with the
American.
That Cuba will lease to the United
States two cOaling stations, and will give
no commercial advantages to any othe,
nation which are not given to the United
States; and
That none of these concessions
Or promises is to be taken to i'm
ply any cessation of the sovereignty OF
Cuba or any lessening or her complete III
dependence.

has been afforded by fifteen nameless
busts at the Boston athrnaeum. They
must all have been busts of men of
distinction in their time, or they would
not have been presented to the institu-
ton.
Two of the busts. after long and pa
tient investigation, have been identi-
fled by one of the assistants in the IL
brary. On is that of Prince Kountozof,
Russian soldier of note, the gift of a
former Russian consul. That this bust,
it's label once being gone, should pass
unrecognized, was not extraordinary.
The second proves to be that of Lewis
Cass, the celebrated statesman, who
was secretary of war under Jackson
and of state uder Buchanan, besides
being the democratic candidate for the
presidency in 1S4S. That his counte-
nance, for years familiar to the public,
went so long unrecognized is certainly
surprising.
The third bust represents refined.
delicate face of nearly perfect features,
somewhat feminine in type, and with
parted hair falling in thick locks each
side of the cheeks. 1t is really beauti-
full. and little wonder, for it's subject

A POLITICAL ACCIDENT.

This seems very cheap way of Mr..
Donovan's securing some sound legal
advice. Were ii not that he can sign

hardly probable that his opinions would
be considered worth asking for any
way. He is simply a political accident.

PEOPLES RESTAURANTS.

The Hospital: AS civiliza ton advances,
and this sense of responsibility in the in
dividual for his fellows in cities increases
the desire to secure adequate arrange
mentS for feeding the people increases
too. Indeed, in nations where the rush
and scramble of modern life are less felt
than in countries where commercial en-
terprise has quickened the desire in all
classes to grow rapidly prosperous, and
where. in consequence, there is more
time at the disposal of everybody to think
out problems which do not directly con-
Germ the business or lives of the more
prosperous classes, there the problem of
feeding the poorer residents in cities has
been solved to a greater extent and on a
sounder basis than elsewhere. Thus, the
NOrwegians have an excellent system at
Christiania whereby every poor family
can obtain sound, wholesome food, well
cooked and palatable, at very small cost.
Naturally, the same system prevails in
Sweden. and in the city of Vienna there
is probably the most complete system of
peoples restaurants to be found any
where. We have visited all these coun-
tries, have inquired very closely into the
systems pursued, and have been struck
with the popularity Of the provision made
and it's success, both financially and gen.
orally That success is due to an appre-
citation of the habits and tastes of the
various peoples for whom the provision
has been made: and it will surprise no.
body to hear that the kinds of food and
methods of cooking, and the various ar
ticles which are most popular at the peo-
pies restaurants referred to, differ very
materially in Norway and Sweden, and
to a greater extent still in Austria, when
a comparison is made between the Wen
nese plan and that pursued in the North
ern countries referred to. Still. the en-
Coura ging fact. and one which has con-
stantiy to be borne in mind. is that all
three systems have proved successful.
and that their success is increasing year
by year.

The latest news from the island plan
tations is excellent. and. if anything,
better than ever before.
The reason for the hurried departure
of Edward POLITE is now made public
and his long conferences with Eastern
capitalists are now explained.
He has arranged for the establishment
of refinery in the islands to handle
the entire sugar output of the Hawai-
ian plantations. Through his exertions
sufficient Eastern capital has been raised
to erect an enormous plant, and an en-
gineer from San Francisco is now sur
veying the islands to decide upon the
most fitting location for the refinery.
All of the plantations on the islands
will, it is believed, join in the movement
and thus assure the refinery of success.
The island plantations are now under
contract with the sugar trust for three
years, two of which have yet to run,
and Mr. Pollitz and his associates hope
to have everything in readiness by that
time to handle the total product of the
mills at the local refinery.
The effect of this will be to strengthen
the position of the owners OF the plan
tations by placing them in position
where they can dictate instead of being
dictated by any combination F.
Evening Post
Behind the bitter feeling engendered by
the change In business policy on the part
of the Oxnards. is the knowledge that
the Sugar Trust is threatened from an
other quarter. Many of the largest Ha-
waiian plantations are under contract to
turn all their raw sugar over to the
Trust. These are chiefly three-year con-
tracts that have but one more year to
run, and now it is a fact that huge
sugar refinery will be built on the islands
large enough to handle a very large pro-
portion of the Hawaiian crop. This
means still further weakening the Trust.

No FURTHER CUT.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 20.-There was
no further cut in the price of sugar yes
terday and the street seemed somewhat
relieved of anxiety, although the failure
of the trust to further reduce rates does
not by any means imply that all cause
for apprehension is over. good many
change in the figures, and when 1t did
not come they said that perhaps, after
all Mr.. Spreckels had decided to rest
on his oars for while.
The action of the Sugar. King in chop
ping down his own profits and the profits
of the other manufacturers was still a
subject for much discussion. and some
of the men who handle sugar found con-
siderable interest in specializing as to
how long even a sugar kings sack will
last under such a tremendous drain as
there has been upon the Spreckels siex-
chequer One of them said. 81 should
think that Mr.. Spreckels would be get
ting tired of this sort of thing. 1t is
only a short time since 1t was discovered
that his electric plant would practically
have to be built over again. Some peo-
pie think that 1t will cost him cool
million to have it put into proper CON-
dition. AS it cost him from five to seven
millions to put 1t in in the first place,
the expense must be getting trifle weari-
some. The Call must cost the Spreckels
a pretty penny monthly, and now comes
along this reduction of the price of SUI
gar, which will result in an enormous
reduction in the old gentlemans income.
It is enough to make people wonder
where Claus Spreckels will land If he
keeps on at this rate much longer
Discussion of this matter is not con-
fined to the street. 1t goes on in rae
clubs and wherever business men meet.
The sugar beet men, it is conceded,
cannot be out of the business. They are
very strong, and while they do not want
any more slashing, they would be able
to stand 1t.

SUGAR REFINERY FOR THE ISL
ANDS.
The recent decline In the market for
refined sugars has afforded an oppor-
tunity for the publication of a lot of alb
s,lrd statements which are recognized in
financial trade circulars as fabrications,
unworthy of contradiction, but ca1culat-
ed. nevertheless, to assist a vicious at
tempt to break the prices Of sugar
stocks.
This. of course, works to the inJcry
of the shareholders among the. public,
who are generally people of small means
and unable to stand financial loss. Pro-
fessonaI dealers and the richer class of
investors are not prone to be guided
by buncombe of this kind, the best de-
NAL of which can be found in the steady
prfce of raws quoted today for cen
trifugal at BIG, the ruling price for
some time past.
Moreover cane sugar will always hold
its own against beet sugar on ques-
