POVERTY AND ITS REMEDY.

We do not sdoubt that there is dis

people will not work, and that would
be true of the people of the best coun-
try on earth. Root, hog or oie," Is a
homely saying, but 1t urges truth of
wide application. The Cubans are an
indoIent people of whom there are
types in most tropical lands. They
are averse to the strenuous life and
would rather avoid it's require
ments than to escape poverty.
Since the war of 1898 they
look to the United States as
an eleemosynary institution, somewhat
as did the freedmen after the civil war
who thought it was the duty of the
government to give each negro forty
acres and a mule. To that is mainly
due their present wretchedness. They
are waiting for something good to drop
into their laps. which they can reach
without effort; and while they wait
they starve.
The kindest way to deal with the
Cubans is to throw them on their own
resources and let them develop on
American lines They have a rich
country, which will produce a good

land is cheap and well-watered. If

sEwALL TALKS.
Now He Is Urging Congress to Draft
Coastwlse Shipping Laws.

! WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Lodge said today that until the Philip
pines were further along toward self
support there would have to be a tariff
between the Islands and the United
States, the proceeds of which would go
to the islands.
There is no objection in the Senate
to applying coastwise laws to the
Philippines, providing care is taken not
10 violate the treaty of Paris. Harold
Sewall, former minister to Hawaii, who
interests, and who is also interested in
the INSTRUMENTATION line, has been
urging the application of the coastwise
laws to the Philippines. He spoke to
a number of Senator's on the subject
and found no objection. He was adj
vised. however, to consult with Senator
Frye, who was member of the Peace
to know how best to frame bill to
extend the coastwise regulations with
out violating the treaty with Spain.
There has been some talk among the
Senators on the subject. and the con-
ciusion has practically been reached
that an amendment will be offered
providing for the extension of the
January 1. 1903, with the provision that
article of the treaty of Paris shall be
added. This article gives Spanish
ships and merchandise the same rights
as our own in the Philippines.

THE ELECTRIC SITUATION.

In connection with the death of the
young clerk at McInerny's store last
week, caused by an electric switch, the
Advertiser editorlally commented upon
the necessity of inspectors of wires and
meters. There is no intention on the
part OF this paper of tmpugning the
honor or the honesty of any one of the
officials or companies involved, and
such a meaning of any words used is
disclaimed.
The point, and the sole point, which
the Advertiser desires to emphasize Is
that with two sets of wires connected
with the government electric light
plant; the innumerable wires of the tel
ephone company: the. all-pervading
wires of the electric light company and
the trolley wires of the Rapid Transit
Company, to which are now being add
ed two more sets of wires for the Po-
lice Call and Fire Alarm Systems, the
necessity for inspection and regulation
Of wires and wiring. is urgent: and In
cidentally that meters also should be
inspected.
SO far as meters are concerned.
while the company Is unquestionably
sending honest bills for the quantity
of electric current as indicated on the
meters. the belief that these instru-
Tnents are not exact in their measure
ment is so general, that we believe that
It Is In the interest of the company
itself that an Impartial official inspect
or be appointed to whom any dissatis-
fed customer may appeal. We know
of a case in point where within the
month, suspicion and dissatisfaction
were ailayed by the calling in Of an
outside electrician who tested the sus-
pecteu meter and found it registering
correctly.
AS to the tangle of wires which ex-
lists and must exist until some system
attic and independent inspection and
control takes place, the fact that four
people have thus far been killed by ac
cidental contact Herewith, removes the
question from the region OF argument.
II is impossible for seven separate sys-
same territory and controlled by as
many separate men or organizations,
without danger of interference. Again
the interests of the companies involv-
ed, as we'll as of the public, Will be
subserved by independent inspection.
The wiring companies, the public and
the Department of Public Works are
10 be congratulated upon the prompt
appointment of an inspector. and we
believe that every reasonable sugges-
ton made by him looking toward the
achievement of greater safety in the
control OF the necessary but deadly
electricity will be cheerfully and
promptly complied with.

METHODIST
"a WOMEN WIN
1t is Believed They viii Get or
fetal Recognition at Con-
tsrenCeS.

| NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The long
struggle for official recognition in the
| conferences by women of the Methodist
church is probably ended, at last and.
! il is claimed that the women have won,
says the Tribune. a statement TO this
effect has just been made by DR.. Ste
phen L. Baldwin, recording secretary of
the Mission Society of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who says that the
returns from the conferences are SO far
in that 1t is certain the new constitu-
ton is adopted.
The new constitution was submitted
at the general conference of the
church held in Chicago in 1900, APP
proved by it, and referred for decision
TIC the conferences throughout the
world. The principal changes are that
it gives women the right TO sit as dele
gates in the general conference; it
gives laymen's electoral meetings au-
thority to vote on constitutional ques-
lions, and il changes the vote neces-
sary in the general conference TO
fourths to two-thirds.
DR.. BALDWIN SAID IN an interview:
.'The subject of admitting women as
delegates was first agitated at the
general conference held in New York
in 1883. AT the general conference in
1896 six women were elected, but TWO |
withdrew. Another long discussion |
took place. and it wis decided that the |
women might take their seats with |
title in dispute" The four declined TO |
accept this condition and withdrew. |
The question was submitted again 10 |
the church, but although a large ma
jority Of the ministers voted in favor
IF admitting women on equal terms, it
vas defeated, because the required
vote in favor was not
obtained. Last year the general con-
erence accepted the new constitution,
which contained the desired clause /

From a misrepresentation of the sta
tistics of the sugar crop for 1902, pub
nshed yesterday, the total there given
was incorrect. The estimates made
were from nine agencies only, asgre-
eating 2S1 900 tons. 1t is early yet for
an estimate of the entire crop. which
will be six months in harvesting, but
the present outlook is extremely prom
ising. The. rains have been ample and
general Throughout the Territory. The
total crop for 1901 was $50, 900 tons. The
crop for 1902 Will. owing to the drouth
last year prevailing in a few districts,
probably be somewhat less, although
the present fine weather may raise the
estimate somewhat.
