his arms full OF copy ready for publica-
ton.
There was one short period when he
was able to live in fairly smart style
for then. That was when Swain made him
his secretary at the mint. The mint was
on Commercial street, where the treasury
is today. and he was given apartments
across the street from his place of BUSH
ness.
One day Harte received a visit from
some swell English acquaintance. He
went to Swain and asked for money to
entertain them with. Already he had
touch Of the anglomania that developed
so greatly later in life.
1--WE spent all my salary" Harte SAID.
Cant you advance me enough with Wnicn
to entertain these people?'
How much do you need?" Swain asked.
Five hundred will do"
Five hundred is yours"
Harte took the amount and sailed forth
to attempt sociability. He was nothing OF
a good fellow. but he was determined 20
make a bluff at being one for the nonce.
The next day Swain met him making
the rounds with his smart Englishmen.
Harte cut Swain dead.
It was such things as that that caused
him to be remembered as mot one OF the
boys He was always so terribly So
ber," one Of the old-timers said. In
those days you had go into saloon now
and then to be popular"
George Merrill, one OF the few men in
tewn who has a truly friendly word for
the lonely genius, says that he was
domestic man. keeping closely at home,
where he read and wrote Dersistently.
Harte was by no means religious man
in the usual sense OF the word. He was
thinker and a philosopher. but he had
no use for churches. What his real creed
was nobody seems to know. He was
far from orthodox, at any rate.
Even his old friend of California, Mark
Twain, was estranged from him. Mark
and he had shared a pipeful Of tobacco
when they could not raise the price Of
two: they had dined together over one
loaf of bread when the price of II was
all they could afford; and after that they
learned TO forget each other. The diff
ference was finally adjusted when Fred
Stocking, a mutual friend, went east, met
Twain and brought the two together.
But taken throughout his life, Harte had
little ability for making friends, and SUI
less for keeping them.
He was alone even to the last. In his
English country home he lived in seclu-
sion. The best known of all CALIFORNIA;
literateurs was her least known man.

The opinion has been quite general in
Washington that the new republic of Cuba
viii soon meet such grave problems that
it cannot be expected to last long. Many
of the public men in Washington who are
most anxious that the infant republic
should live and thrive have been decided
ly apprehensive as to the future.
No such apprehensions are entertained
by Colonel Tasker H. Bliss, u. s. A., who
was the collector of customs of Cuba dur
ing the period of our military interven-
ton. AS an officer who performed a most
difficult task Jpn which he had had NO
previous experience, Colonel Bliss opti-
mistic opinion would seem to be decidedly
valuable. It was his duty on taking
charge of the Cuban customs to reorgan-
ize that most important government de-
partment, the one which furnished most
Of the money for the administration of the
government of the island, a department
which during the Spanish rule of Cuba
was notorious for it's corruption. He was
so successful that he is one of the authori-
ties on Cuban affairs and particularly up
on its financial condition and possibili-
ties.
Colonel Bliss was asked today what he
thought of the many predictions as to the
impending bankruptcy of the republic of
Cuba.
II see no reason" replied Colonel Bliss,
why the government of the republic of
Cuba cannot successfully meet all it's
financial obligations. If IL does succeed,
there is no reason why the hopes of all
well wishers of Cuba for the successful
continuance Of it's government should not
be completely realized. OF course, an eco.
nomical administration will be necessary,
but with such an able, upright man as

Bret Harte, the Dead Novelist.

CFrom The San Francisco Call.)
"who knew Bret Harte?"
"I"
"And what did you know about him?"
No answer
They are ready enough with their 'Ts,"
these old residents who watched the name
of Frank Bret Harte, only thrice capital
lied, grow to Francis Bret Harte, capt.
talized from end to end. within the pages
Of San Francisco's directory. They are
ready enough, those who have watched
that name arise to still bigger letters in
Americas literary muster. They are all
ready enough, with the exception of now
and then one who ruffles and asks indig-
nantly: do you suppose / date back to
Bret Harte's timer"
But when you ask these ready IT'S" to
prove their claim to acquaintance, alas
for their memories!
The truth of the matter is, nobody ever
knew Bret Harte.
Ask the people of London's literary col

land, where he lived as man of literary
distinction. Surely he must have been
known in London. He must have had
time to be known there, living in the lux
ury of laurels won.

why didn't you ask US about somebody
else? We know other literary people
there; we know the American set, but

Ask the people of the mines. They were

his fame and fortune Surely there must
be miners of the one-time who knew him.
He must be remembered somewhere in the

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR
STATE UNIFORMITY

LAKE PARK. Ga, June is. 1902.
To the Editor of The Journal:
Never before in the history Of Georgfa's
public school system has there been
more opportune time to legislate for the
public schools of Georgia than now.
With a people thoroughly aroused as
to the needs of our schools, and with
a class of high minded legislator-elects
who will make up the next Georgia as
sembly, which / hope will be presided
over by the ardent and untiring champion,
Colonel w. s. West of Lowndes county,
who is the author and hopes to be the
finisher of his long sought uniform text
book bill, which will be brought up again
at the next session. With such men as
West and McRee and others equally in
terested in educational developments,
Georgia's educational needs viii be safe
in their hands. They win have the con-
sentative counsel of our newly-elect state
school commissioner, w. B. Merrett, who
has given his whole life to the study and
work of education, and under whose SUI
pervision our public schools must adj
vance, both in efficiency Of work and
thoroughness of system. All these Of
ficials, having the safe guidance of that
staunch old Democrat, Governor Joseph
NJ Terrell who will lead Georgia to higher
grounds in the executive realm of her
laws, Georgia's next executive chief be-
ing a man OF n1gn QlScernmeuL OF Ine
educational needs of the state, the people
of Georgia can look forward for better,
legislation and education. The empire
state of the south is ripe for state uni
formity of school books.
Having taught in both south and north
Georgia, I can truly say the culture and
development needed by the mountain boy
and girl are the same developments need
ed by the south Georgia boy and girl.
At Dunwoody, in DeKalb county, in 1899,
found a book that had just been thrown
out of the schools of Berrien county adopt
ed as a text book in DeKalb and on
coming back to south Georgia in 1900 /
found a book just adopted here that was
used in the schools of north Georgia So
l say a book that is good for north
Georgia is equally quilted to south Geor-
gia.
Again, found up there a first reader
that under no circumstances should have
cost over 20 cents. but just because the
book was published by no other publish
ing company and adopted in only one or
two counties and an inferior book in
make up, was sold for twice that price.
These facts are appalling and the peo-
pie of Georgia are suffering under the
heavy burdens of enormous prices they
have to pay for their school books.

LARRY CAN'T WRITES ON
POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN S. c..

But there is no denying one thing. Some
Of the brainiest men in our state or the
south are aspirants for this office, and
who would reflect honor not only on South
Carolina, but our country at large.
At this time ii is impossible even to sur
mise who will be the winner.
South Carolina is a state of surprises
and when the people decide to take the bit
in their teeth they pay no attention what
ever to so-called leaders. When fac
tional feeling was at a white heat in our
state and the reform faction absolutely
controlled matters. to the surprise OF ev-
eryone Judge Earl a former "conserva-
tive" defeated for the United States SEN
ate, Governor Evans who was backed by
Senator Tillman, and who had published
a personal appeal in his (Evans) behalf.
Governor NJ b. McSweeny will not Of
fer for reelection. 1 yesterday received
letter from him in which the governor
states that he had endeavored to faith
fully discharge his every duty, and had
decided to retire from politics this year.
Governor McSweeny has given the state
q clean, business-like and honest adj
ministration, and had he decided to en-
ter for reelection would have made a
very formidable candidate, even in spite
of the cry of "a third term"
Had not Senator McLauren loosened his
mornings from the Democratic party
and became the disburser of Federal
patronage in our state, and then permit
ted the Republicans to assign him COM
mittee places, he would have made a
much stronger race than many people
surmise South Carolina has ever been
a progressive state, and our people are
quick to grasp and adopt new ideas.
They are Justly proud of their industrial
progress, and want to shape their party
platform so as to recognize and accept
the new and changed conditions that
confront our country. But they very
wisely argue that we can never hope to
correct mistakes in the Democratic party
: through the fundamentally of the Re-
publican party. The result is that when
Senator McLauren began to affiliate with
our old enemies he also spun his political
windingsheet, and it was wise act when
he declined to enter the contest for re-

INAfAN, S. c., June 16.-After more than
ten years of political bitterness, wrangling
and warfare, peace and good win once
more reign supreme between the rival
factions in the old Palmetto state.
South Carolina has ever been Loyalty
Democratic, and even when Populism was
in the zenith OF it's power and an cleo
toral ticket put out in our state, IT receiv-
ed less than 1900 votes, and only Is in this
(Spartanburg) county.
The negro has been constitutionally dis
franchised in South Carolina and you can
never hear this race even discussing pol
itics. and even the few who are permitted
TO vote under our new constitution are
never seen near a ballot-box. Our black
population is contented and generally
prosperous. While they are deprived of
any share in shaping politics. at the same
time the negro is accorded his every legal
right and privilege. 1t is not an unusual
circumstance to see an ignorant darkey
gain a case in one of our courts over an
influential and wealthy white man.
The people of South Carolina realize
that in DISTINGUISHING the negro they have
assumed a great responsibility, and pub
lie sentiment demands that he be accord
ed his every legal right and given full JUS
tice before our court.
Our state campaign opens this week, but
IL will be a very tame affair compared
with preceding meetings.
The bitterst contest, I predict. will be
between ex-Congressman A. c. Latimer
and ex-Gov. John Gary Evans, who are
aspiring for senatorial honors. Both OF
these gentlemen were old line reform
ers." while all of their opponents were
known as conservatives"
Mr.. Evans charges Mr.. Latimen with
duplicity in the senatorial contest four
years ago; that Latimer prevailed upon
him to enter the race; that he gave him
ammunition to use against McLaurin on
the stand, and he Iatimer) afterwards
confessed that he voted for McLaurin
Latimer retorts that of the three evils he
chose the least. Ex-Governor Evans will
enter the arena charged with thunder
bolts to hurl against Latimer, and these
rival candidates will doubtless keep the
campaign enlivened up.

election.
If had the writing of the next Demo-
cratic platform, / would use but two
words:
"Agin Trusts!"
And let our party go before the coun-
try with that single slogan. / believe we
would win a browning victory and adj
minister to the Republicans a crushing
defeat Every honest man in America is
personally and interestedly opposed to
this combination of capital for depressing
and extorting the masses and would rally
around the banner of any party that made
a fight for the protection of the people S
interests and a redress of their wrongs.
But it would be political suicide for our
next national Democratic convention to
again thrash over old political straw. As
well had a farmer attempt to produce a
crop by cultivating last years cotton
stalks as for the Democratic party to win
upon a platform that has been twice re-
pudiated by the voters and people of this
country.
But, Mr. Editor, will assure you Of one
thing-the old Palmetto State will ever be
found battling behind the ramparts OF
organized Democracy. Our people may
wrangle and fight over which faction shall
rule the politics of our state, but when
their grand old party has met In conven-

Georgia friends an account of the indus

Cubas Experiment In Self Government
Is Being Closely Watched by Statesmen
BY ALBERT HALsTEAD IN BROOKLYN STANDARD UNION

Estrada Palma at the head of affairs
there is every reason TO expect such an
administration.
''It has been stated repeatedly that the
expenses of the new government would
be increased greatly beyond those of our
military administration" was suggested
to Colonel Bliss.
''It is true that the new government
will have to meet certain expenses that
the military government of Intervention
did not have to consider But, on the
other hand the new government will be
free from other expenses. Nevertheless,
there will be the additional cost of main
tanning the legislative branch of the gov
eminent. American military collectors of
customs are replaced, in a number Of
cases, by native officials, who must be
paid from the Cuban treasury. The with
drawal of all the American forces will al
most certainly make necessary an increase
in the rural guard Again, If an extern
sion is made of the school system, as
President Palma has expressed a desire.
there will be another cause of additional
outgo.
ION the other hand, there viii be sew
eral reductions in the cost OF govern
ment. All expenditures connected with
the forces of occupation viii be cut Off
At the same time, the new government
acquires all the lands bought and build
ings erected by our military administra-
ton. These should be so managed as to
produce revenue, while the original ex-
penditures for their acquisition will cease.
The Cuban republic comes into ownership
of a most valuable railway property run
ming from the most desirable terminal in
Havana harbor to a junction with the en-
tire railway system of the island. 1t will
be possible to sell this for large sum.

THAT SOUTHERN FOREST RESERVE

Mr. Simmons emphasized the damage
done along the banks of the streams
where forests have been cleared away,
and cited instances where land worth 500
an acre was made worthless by deposits
of sand washed down the mountain sides
He presented a detailed statement by
Prof. ]. A. Holmes, showing that in the
last twelve months the damage to agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests by
the floods in the mountains amounted to
SIS, 200 COO. LAS the clearing away of the
forest increases" said Mr.. Simmons, 'the
loss from the floods will also increase"
Mr. Simmons said that there was not
savannah which did not take it's rise in
the region where it is proposed to locate
this forest reservation. This fact, he
said showed that the question was not a
local one.
In conclusion Mr.. Simmons said that
there was not a national park on the
whole Atlantic coast, the nearest being
the Yellowstone. 1900 miles away, while
the nearest forest reserve was in the Da-
kotas, 1850 miles distant. He thought
that the establishment of the proposed
reserve in the Appalachian Mountains
would be a great blessing to the country,
and the future generations would praise
the wisdom of congress in preserving the
territory from vandalism and destruc-

which their advent causes to change

one night last week two men were intro

man who in early life had studied theol-
