ABOUT COLUMBUS AND CUBA

An archaeologist and historical researcher. after
several years Of painstakng work is out with the
proof that Columbus was an old fraud and liar who
outrageousy imposed upon Ferdinand and Isabella
and that he rightfuly died in want and obscurity
The story is a graphic one. Columbus in nursing
surviving captain Of shp-wrecked crew, wrung
from said captain the secret that Columns suspected
he held of this captain and his crew having been
driven before storm for 10 days touched on new
and unknown lands in possession of Indians The
captain in dying gave Columbus his chart which
correctly located the West Indies Columbus made
copy Of it and then proceeded to get up his expe.
diton. The world knows the rest
Anent this sensational yet it may be truthful
expose how Cuba got its name becomes interesting
The island was originally known to the I.ucayan
Indians, who with Columbus when he discov.
cred it One Of its villages or cities was called BY
them Cubanacan. and it is reported that from the
similarity Of sounds Columbus. still supposinr him
self to be on the coast of Asia imagined that this
must be city OF Kubia Kahan. the Tartar sover-
eign celebrated by Marco Polo The survival Of the
original for Cuba is a remarkable instance
OF persistence as the island has been baptized and
rebaptzed many times since its European discovery
Columbus first sailed in Juana, in honor of Prince
John, the son Of Ferdinand and Isabella After Fer
dinands death it was called. in his memory Fernan-
dina Subsequently this name was changed TO san
tiago, after St James, the patron saint Of Spain
Still later it named Ave Maria. in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none Of these names held
and the Indian name IS stn preserved.

rHE KANSAS cRoP SITUATION sIzEp uP
M. M. MURD cK, EDITo


Both the state and national agricultural reports
of crop conditions in Kansas are highly favorable
Many experienced farmers and other long time OBJ
servers declared that too much rain in Kansas is
an impossibilty While her soils have great drouth-
resisting qualities they can receive absorb and ut
ize almost unlimited rainfals without mourning the
destruction of crops. There have been seasons in
Kansas 50 excessively wet that many thousands of
acres Of crops have been flooded to the death But
the aggregate of the greater yields Of the larger
areas which were thus benefited far more than
made up the per cent of loss
q Kansas is often alluded to as a state OF extremes
The present indication in this extremely wet season
are for an extremely big crop of about everything
which her soil produces. True a large per cent Of
her wheat acreage practically failed. But such
acreage was ploughed up and planted over to corn.
And there is more profit more money value in an
acre Of good corn than in an acre Of good wheat.
So we hear no grumbling from the double-croppers.
However great or UNNECESSARILY big the corn crop Of
Kansas may prove, the price of is bound to be
a good one. The shortage of the worlds supply
of meat will hold up the price of corn for steer
cannot be grown in a single season or in a year
The hay crop will be great unquestionably. AL
faIfa is being cut for the first time and wheat in
south Kansas will be ready to harvest by the time
the weather settles fair. Vegetables are enormous
and plentiful to cheapness and fruits promising.
The live stock situation for Kansas could hardly
be better. Owing to the short crop of last
year the supply of hogs is below the average. But
it will take only few months to remedy the pig
shortage As for cattle if Kansas could raise moth
ing else or was confined to catteraising alone, it
would be a very rich state Kansas, in fact is
today, at ruling prices. wealthy in the ownership
of live stock alone. The price of cattle has adj
vanced fully Sc per head within year so that if
have the two million head credited us by the
agricultural report, the state is $12OOOOOO richer
simply from the rise in price. In 1896 Kansas had
rs million dollars worth of live stock Last year
the returns show that the farmers of the state
owned 159 million dollars worth. These figures
would indicate that Kansas is destined to be the
greatest live stock state in the country.

SENATOR QUAY okLAHoMAs FRIEND.

There are few things along purely political line
taken up by Senator Quay of Pennsylvania that
he does not carry successfully through The COM
mittee territories so far refused to report
back to the the territorial Omnibus bill ad-
hitting Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico to state
hood The evident intention TO carry the bill over
till the fall session. Quay is a member of the COM
mittee. but determined friend Of Oklahoma He
holds that it is unjust to longer withhold statehood
from that territory and is insisting that a large ma
jority of the senate are against postponing action
until the next session. Why Beveridge of Indiana
should antagonize the Omnibus bill is hard to I'M
derstand as he is radical in his progressive idea
Having failed to persuade the committee to make
an immediate and favorable report, and having pre-
pared himself by much research into the affairs
and conditions of the territories question he has
announced that at the first favorable opportunity
be will attempt to have the bill before the senate
by unanimous consent If he fails in this rather I'M
promising plan the chances are that our young sister
will have to postpone her comingout bill to next
winter

City, which has tolled the products of the entire
country, all the country's imports, and which
in fact dominates in a way and to a large degree
the commerce and finances of the nation, is alarmed
the probable policy of the steamship combine
Now comes an authoritative statement Of the policy
OF the steamship combine which will virtually deter
mine what transportation business shall be done at
the various ports Mr. Griscom stated that every
port will be developed along the lines to which
each port is best adapted is surely reason
able. It is in fact what natural conditions would
effect but for the costly policy of making the trans
portation business pay for other interests in New
York. By systems of rebates and cut rates in the
handling of merchandise and products of various
kinds men who have control of various Transports
ton have lured trade to New York where they have
personal interests to advance
Of course, New York is greatly disturbed AM
grieved over this outlook. The people there seem
to think it is an unjust policy deprive them of the
enormous benefits of handling both exports and i'm
ports However, it is safe to say that they will do
nothing to prevent the carrying out Of the same
method described by Mr.. Griscom.

WORSE AND MORE OF IT.

Detailed reports of the earthquake in Guatemala
on April is, last, tell of the terrific energy which
marked that seismic disturbance. Quezatenango,
the second largest city of the republic complete
ly destroyed in ninety seconds. The few buildings
that were left standing were rent from top bot
tom; the killed and manned were 5000 while 10000
were left homeless. What connection the dslocation
of trra frma in the Central American fire circle"
may have been with the eruptions within the vol
canic ring of the Antilles remains to be demonstrate

MAY PROVE A BIG FALL DOWN.

To his dismay King Edward sees no visible sign
of ardent anticipation and rejoicing the time for
his coronation approaches. is said that the
occasion threatens to fall fat compared with what
such an event ought to be and what it has formerly
been.
There is evidently widespread "sulk" among
the people Their silence and sulenness all means
that the war in South Africa weighs heavily on their
consciences as well as on their prospects of coming
tax burdens.
The thing that would turn the winter of
discomfort into glorious is a settlement
of the Boer before the time Of the coronation.
In that case the occasion would be respondent in
rejocings.
When the average Britisher is reminded of the
present state of Indifference and want of enthusi-
in England over the coronation his answer is
pretty to be: You bet that the Boer war
will be settled before the coronation
Well, we shall see.

ENGLAND ONCE RULED CUBA.

BY the fagraising event Of May 20 at Havana
another outwardy similar occurrence is recalled 1t
was during the Seven Years War, known in America
as the French and Indian war, when Frederick OF
Prussia was fighting the combined forces of France
Austria and Russia the Continent Of Europe and
Great Britain engaged il mortal combat with
the natives of France and Spain for the mastery
of the that British fleet and army appeared
before Havana and, after short siege, compelled
the surrender of the city. Havana has been in Oc-
cupation Of the British for ten months when peace
was declared and on July 26, 1863 the royal stan
dard of George Ill was hauled down and that of
Carlos Ill run up Moro Although these ten
months had been the most prosperous in the history
of Havana the Cubans glad enough to see
the hectoring Brtshers lower their ensign, but not
so glad by a great deal probably as they were to
see the flag of the Cuban Republic kiss the breeze
the other day.
