The New York Commercial Advertiser
in very lengthy and complete article
on the New York Botanical Gardens
situated on the Bronx River Just to the
north of Manhattan Island, makes spe-
cial mention OF the specimens which
have been obtained for the gardens
from the forests of the Luquillos. The
article which is a very long one goes into
la general discussion of the peculiar
plants which are to be found here, and
which as yet are practically unkno vn
to the botanical gardens and hothouses
of the world. The palms Of Porto Rico
are also given special mention, and
their sturdiness is commenced Upon! Ia
the extract from the official report of
the Superintendent of the Gardens
which follows, it will be noticed that
our spiny palm, the one most common
here is given special attention
"The conservatories and herbarium

Of Percy Wilson, Of the Garden staff,

the ROYAL Botanic Garden at Berlin,
With whom DR.. Britton is in close cor

obtained many living plants, and a

among which is a fine specimen of the

secured were shipped later, and are
now on their way to the Garden.

Editorial Comment.

Now that all the fuss and the fea-
theirs, and the excitement which eave-
loped the political disturbances o.. the
past few weeks have passed away, and
the easily scared people of this commit
nity have had an opportunity to reload
their guns, and smooth out their rum
pied feathers, we must all come to the
conclusion that ali this WarIike talk,
this tale of tyranny and anarchy which
it was said is sucking the blood" Of the
island was without the slightest founda-
ton Of any kind.
Peo DE whose nerves are always
strung at a high tension have no busi-
ness in politics any gay, and patriots
with bleeding corazons should have
their hearts looked after before making
speeches. Despite "citizens attacked
in the dead of the night -, and many
other horrible crimes, it seems just as
safe to have million dollars in Porto
Rico as in New York or Pennsylvania
Among a milliol s3uld there are as
few people murdered in Porto Rico as
anywhere in the entire world. Heaven
of course mist be mure ideal place,
but for those of us who have made no
kicks OF grumbles PorLo Rico seems
to be pretty orderly. Tickets to the
other place may be mad for the asking.

Want Porto Rican Merchants
To Cooperate.

There IS a movement afoot among
the merchants of Charleston to inaug-
ura < a line of freight steamers between
that port and San Juan and Ponce.
Several leading merchants in San Juan
have received letters from Charleston
business men asking for their comments
o1 the ;dea, and requesting any sug-
e s.ions that the Porto Rican merchants
may see fit to make. The Boletin
rec lived in the last mail letter from
Mr.. Miguel A. Boii1 Of Charleston, in
wlich that gentleman requested this
paper to call the attention of San Juan
c mmercial interests to the new project,
and to cause if possible an interchange
Of thought and opinion on TIE subject.
The writer of the letter urges with good
reason the fact, that the line would
S 1orten the time between the United
Safes and Porto Rico, and would be a
great convenience especially TO the
shippers of perishable goods, such as
oranges, pineapples and other tropical
fruits, which at present 1t is almost
10 ship, owing to the fact
that the steamers between New York
and San Juan take almost an entire
week in making the run.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the railway communication bet
9een, Charleston and the larger cities in
the nor.h ard west is almost perfect
and that it is as easy to ship goods to
osher points n the states from Charl-
estor, as it is from New York.
The Charleston people are in earn
est in the matter, and have already
gone TO considerable expense to keep
the project well in sight, and to increase
inteTest in it amolg the merchants of
South Carolina.
If the Porto Rican commercial int
erests believe that the project is a good
one and that the interests Of the island
will be materially ailsdAby the creation
of such a line Of steamers, immediate
with the Charleston people
should be made. Interchange of ideas
vii surely do more good than harm,
and, it appears to the wriser that the
more steamers we have running bet

Government Grants Request Of
Revolutionists For A Reforma-
ton Of The Constitution.
Truce To Be Arranged.
Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil.

New York, October Sth.-Advices
received from Panama state that the
Colombian government has agreed to
hold conference with the revolution
lists for the reformation of the Colon
bian constitution. Several weeks ago
the government refused to aecede to
this same request. A truce will be
arranged, and in the meantime the lead
ing men of both parties will meet in
conference, and an effort will be made
to amend and alter the constitution in
such way as to satisfy the revolution
ary or liberal party in Colombia. There
is every reason to suppose that this
may be the end of the present Colon
bian revolution.

condition that all striking miners would

The Monroe Doctrine mis-. certainly
be a thing OF beauty and consequently
a 10Y forever. TO the Republics OF South
America With the United SAFES, COM
PEELED in spite of itself to stand sponsor
for all the deviish tricks that have ever
been conceived i'll the minds Of the re
bel nations. 1t must indeed be great
sport for these. natural born ard chro-
mic revolutionlsts to give old Germany
a kick in the ribs Or to slap old El-
gland in the face, or else lell the French
to mind their own business. and then
have your Uncle Samuel stand by and
prevent the cunning rascal from being
hurt.
From the stand poin. of oar own pro-
lection this Monroe Doctrine is certain
ly monument OF power, but view
ed in the light Of South American poll
cy and principle it is the Creates
hutnbug which has ever been made a
national doctrjle. Every time these
South Americans near OF the Monroe
Doctrine, there comes that same smu1k
which may be seen On the face OF a
lawyer when someone shows him law
that has been made to be broken and
violated.
The South American theory of the
Monroe D5ctrine is best described in the
language of the Venezuelan who once
said We'll we don't need a fleet, for
we can do what Ne wish to any Euro
pean power and your Uncle Sam will
not let them boher us, and then if
Uncle Sam gets gay WY NC just ap-
peal to Europe to a,ch c encroaeE--
ments of the impefaiis ic republic +.
This is the point of view akin b. eve
ry South American Mho dra IS breath.
They all know what the p}Eer5 still have
to learn, that their safety lies in the
differences which exist between the
greater nations.
President Castro of Venezaela knows
this, and he knew it when he caused
trouble between the VenezUelans and
Germany, aud England and France and
in fact every nation on the globe. 1t IS
something that he never forgets, and it
is the primary point of policy in every
South American republic. Down there
the first thing they do with schoolboy
is teach him the Monroe Doctrine, and
how to sleep securely under It's protect
ing folds.
1t surely is time that ollr own gov
ernment awoke 10 this fact. Awoke to
understand that these South Americans
are making fools of Us. That they
have no respect, nor friendship for the
American people otl er than what they
can obtain from them. The Monroe
Doctrine cannot be defined, aud we
must not restrict it uatil it becomes an
imperative necessity 10 do 50, but if the
the United States will just let someone
come along and give one Of these punr
republics frs class drubbing, il wall
do a world of good for all concerned and
perhaps save our own nation consider !
able trouble in the future.

New York, October Sth.-The State

from the American Minister to China,

morning. Practically all OF the mines in
France, especially those the in south have
been compelled to close down by reason
of the strike. The men are ugly and
there is grave fear that serious disor-
ders may occur.
While the strike is not in sympathy
with the one now pending in the states,
and while the miners of both countries
have nothing in common, it is said
that the example set by the American
miners, is tne real cause of the diffic-
ulty. 1t is generally feared throughout
France that many industries will be
tied up by reason of the strike.
