kets if the government to be estab-
lished knows how to obtain liberty to
offer Cuba's market to the country
which gives the most in return. If the
United States makes less than 30 per

thing the new government should do
is TO demand the right to make COM

It is alleged that much cattle steal
ing is being done in the island. and
that Il number of minor officials are
implicated in the work of the thieves.
Investigations into the stealing of
cattle in Ma+anZas resulted recently in
the arrest OF the chief of police and
the administrators OF the slaughter
house. The prisoners We're subSe-
quently released on bail and the mayor
of MatanZas reinStated them. Govern

FRIARs IN THE PHILIPPINES.

In the recent number of the Outlook
Governor Taft has an article eXplana-
| tory of his trip to Rome, where he is
negotiating with the vatican in the
hope of reaching some amicable con-
clusion regarding the Punishment of
In the Philippines. Much of the revolt
against Spanish rule in the islands was
brought about by the tyranny and NOR
al turpitude of these friars, and the
Philippine, commission has decided
against their return to their parishes,
fearing riot and insurrection on the
part of the parishioners against these
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS priests. The
motive of Governor Taft's mission to
with the head of the Catholic church
some plan whereby the friars may be
eliminated without offence to the Ro-
man faith, which is the prevailing reli-
gion of the islands.
The revolt. of the Filipinos against
the friars was in no wise a rising
against the Roman Catholic religion. 1t
was protest against the individual
greed, immortality and criminality If
degenerate priesthood. The prevailing
religion will continue Catholic and the
parish priests and church prelates will
remain Roman. But the commiss, on,
with great good sense, has fatty decid-
ed against the friars and in favor OF the,
people. In this there is no attempt to
interfere with worship according to
conscience, but to insure the quiet BAN
ishment of class of greedy and hypo-
critical friars who have covered lives of
immortality and wickedness with the
cassock of the church. No peculiar re-
iigious faith has been attacked or sup
ported by the commission. Its decision.
is purely in the interests Of good secu-
lar government.
Governor Taft may be criticised by
some for his visit to a papal court
where the United States has no .,sm-
poral representation. Such criticism
Will. however, be unjust The governor
has taken the wise course in consulting
the head Of the church to which nine
tenths of the people over whom he is
set belong. A refusal by the pope to
join in the regeneration of the Philip
pine priesthood will leave matters pre-
cisely as in the beginning, but will put
subsequent action of the governor and
the commission in the light of public
approval. But it is not at all likely that
the vatican will prove obdurate.

The STATISTICS OF PROSPERITY.

Mr.. o. p. Austin, chief of the bureau
CT statistics, in a lecture at Philadel-
rbia as recently reported in an eastern
newspaper gave some interesting fig
ures on national prosperity.
The production of coal. for instance,
Increased from 32,000,ooo tons in 1870 10
29o, 100000 tens in 1901. Pig iron from
Under 100000 tons to over 100000
tons. Steel from less than 10000 tons
to over 100000 tons. The large in
crease in our railway mileage, from ST.
600 miles In 1870 to 100000 miles in 1901,
has SO Developed our west, southwest.
our northwest and south, that the value
OF our farm products increased from
two and a hall billions, OF dollars in
1870 to four and three-quarter billions
of dollars in 1900. This railway extern
sicn has also Immensely assisted the
assel bling OF .our mineral and other
natural products for the purpose OF
nianrfae turing.
A direct result of all this is that the
United States as an exporting nation
rose from fourth place in 1870 to first
place in 1901. the figures being 500 mill
ions to I,tS7 millions, or 9.77 per capita
of the population to 1851 per capita of
the largely increased population. I'M
ports have largely doubled. the figures
being 436 millions in 1870 to s23 mill
ions in 1901. the per capita favorably
falling from l1.o6 to 1858.
Today our manufactures are more
than double those of Great Britain, and
nearly equal to those of France, Ger
irany and Russia combined. This will
continue, as the world must buy our
food and other necessaries, while our
natural resources, like the widows
cruise of ell, show no signs of dinlirlu-
ton by use-on the contrary, new
mines and new fields of production are
opening up all the time, while in some
other countries the reverse is the case.
We now supply one fifth of the
worlds commerce in wheat, three
fourths of the cotton. practically all of
the corn, and very large part of Eu-
ropes consumption of meats. In 1901
we sold to Europe alone more manu-
features than she had ever sold to the
entire world in any year prior to 1895.
That is our progress as manufacturers
in Europe, the great manufacturing
center of the world.

THE VICIOUS IN LITERATURE.

That old and valued contributor to
the Times Republican, "Birdseye," in
today's issue of this newspaper in his
characteristic manner calls attention to
the imposition upon the reading public
Of a class of publications removed from
actual indecency by literary craftiness
and jugglery of language. There mas
been. and is now current, too much OF
the so-called realism in literature
which brings into our homes and before
eur children those abnormal and I'M
mentionable phases of life the actually
of which we drive off the streets and
warn away from our homes. Lacking in
azines to which "Birdseye" refers are
the more dangerous because they fail to
disgust. That life I'm Washington is
touched with the immortality which
fiourishes in courts and capitals the
newspaper dispatches are sufficient evil
dence. We need no photographic films
set in literary kaleidoscope illustrative
C obscene Roman orgies or the demi-
mondaine of our own time.
1t is astonishing that these magazines
ere bought by parents and carried into
homes where their suggestiveness and
morbid pictures of life may conduce to
irretrievable harm. A bad book. vile
magazine or newspaper is corrupting
companionship.
