COsTLY ADMINISTRATIONS.

BERLIN, February S.-Herr Richter
the Radical leader in the Reichstag,
Analysing the most recent Government
report concerning the colonies, finds
that there are only 1862 Germans in all
the colonies, including officials, officers
missionaries, women and children. He
proves from the budget of 1902 that
every German Colonist costs the empire
5000 marks a year. While the total
colonial trade has increased during the
last five years from 1000, 900 marks to
25,OO00OO marks the colonial apprOpri-
atiOns during the same length of time
have increased from slightly more than
1000 900 to 100000 900 marks The in
crease of exports to colonies is chiefly
due to Government works, military
supplies, etc.
The full returns from the census of
1900 show that lI,S4S citizens Of the
United States were then residing i'm

NO HITCH WITH CUBA.
United States Does Not Desire Naval
Station in Havana Harbor.


Washington Special to Chicago Record
Herald.
There is no misunderstanding or fric-
ton, according to officials here, between
this Government and the Cuban Repub-
lie over the questio of naval station
near Havana. There is a disposition In
certain quarters to create a false i'm
preston by representing that the action
OF the Cuban Cabinet yesterday In au-
thorizing the lease of the arsenal grounds
at Havana would deprive the United
states of coalng or naval station there
and that the lease was directed for the
sole purpose of preventing this Govern
ment having a station at Havana. The
cfffcials here do not believe that the Gu
ban Cabinet is going out of its way to
Illustrate the plans of this Government
or annul In split the conditions imposed
by the Plat amendment. which was ac-
cepted by the Cuban Government AS a
matter of fact. 1t is stated by the officials
that this Government does not and has
not desired the arsenal grounds as a site
for a naval station, but prefers Triscor-
MIA, across the bay from Havana. There
this Government would have all tn adj
vantages of proximity to Havana. deep
water and safe and commodious har-
bor without being in the city proper,
When the time comes for establishing
naval stations in Cuba, the Government
Of that island will, our officials, are con-
tident, heartily cooperate and no OBJ
stacles to securing the desired sites are
anticipated.
Naval officers explain that 1t Is not the
purpose of this Government to construct
a naval station in Havana harbor. We
want a first-class station on the north
coast of Cuba. equipped with all modern
appliances where war ships could be
locked and repaired in time of emergency.
and where they could find refuge II hard
pressed by the enemy The expenditure
Of the large amount of money that will
be put into the station would not be JUS
tifable at Havana unless the Cuban Gov
eminent would agree to permit the United
States to fortify the entrance to the har-
Dor This would mean the raising of the
American flag. and the Cubans, because
of natural pride, do not want the Stars
and Stripes at the gateway to their capt.
tal where they would be sauted in ad-
vance of their own colors. and would in
a sense make Havana an American city.
The naval officers say that, all things
considered, Guantanamo Bay Is a much
more desirable site for the lalge naval
station. There the necessary defenses
can be erected, the harbor Is commodious
and safe. and the Cubans will raise no
objection to an American garrison and
the presence of the American flag. At
Havana we will maintain coal pile for
the convenience of American war ships
entering that port.

THREE DOCUMENTS
That Should Be Widely Circulat-


Birmingham Age-Herald.
Governor Jelks's reply and General
Oates letter should be attached to John
b. Knox's Auditorium speech, and the
combined document scattered broadcaSt
over the State. For the three would
phistries of an extremely sophistical
campaign There is not a misrepresenta-
ton or exaggeration they do not cover
and controvert. Every financial boast is
met and overthrown by ofhcial Facts ana
every political claim is endorsed in tell
ing manner
The campaign will not produce three
better documents and they should go
out together. No voter should be with
out a copy of all three. There are 49,
900 voters in the State. and their names
and addresses in full are readily procur,
able from the registration boards, and
the State Committee should see that the
three documents are placed In each man $
hand Each county committee could at
tend to its own deliveries and the State
Committee shoulG print $4,000 copies of
the three papers. for they completely I'M
mask the current raid upon the Demo-
cratic administration, of the state. Cen
eral Oates letter relates to a past Demo-
cratic administration, but 1t is an essen
tial part of the case, and should be
printed also.
The absurd charges that are daily
hurled against lifelong Democrats in
this state should be met and refuted
and the three papers named expose
these efforts, riddling them through and
through. No other Democratic ammuni-
ton will he needed for what Mr., Knox
does not cover, General Oates dos nd
what neither meet. Governor Jelks faces
and overthrows. The three present facts

If benson is right in saying that news
paper men can be bought with drink,
that they are liars and thieves, and
what they know could be put in gnat' )
heel and still leave space for an ele-
plant to turn around in. there should be
a new deal for candidates and new set
of canvassers put in the field. benson
himself is newspaper man and was the
annual orator of the Alabama Press AS
ISOLATION on one occasion; jerks is a
newspaper man, and Johnston is now
publishing a newspaper and has been
connected with newspapers since 1895;
Tanner and Julien are newspaper men
and Tom Heflin is a regular newspaper
contributor, and these three are Candi-
dates for Secretary of State; Chappell
Gerry and Ma Or J. G. Harris. candidates
for State Superintendent of Education
are newspaper men. Our information is
that Massey Wilson, one of the candi
dates for Attorney-General has had
something to do with newspapers, and If
we mistake not Auditor Sowcll was con-
nected at one time with a newspaper.
Among Johnston's active workers who
are newspaper men are Musgrove Hugh

Former Governor Johnston said in his
speech in this city few evenings ago:
when went out Of office there was
not an unpaid claim against the State
and t50s,0O good solid dollars In the
treasury.
This assertion was made in face of the
fact that the Official report Of Auditor
White, shows that the liabilities of the
State still unpaid Sept. SOth, 1900. the
close of the fiscal year amounted to $685.
BS1 80, showing a deficit of 1854, 564 -
The disbursements during the months of
October and November 1900 were $780,
1874. Admitting that the whole OF this
sum was disbursed in payment of these
liabilities coming over from the preceding
year. which was not the fact there would
still remain unpaid liabilities amounting
to $l14,144.66. when Governor Johnston
went out of Office to be paid by his sue
eessor.

The report of the New Orleans Board
of Health for last week. says The Times
Democrat, is interesting because it shows
for the white population of the city the
exceptionally low death rate of 11.63 per
number Of deaths here have been excep-
Eionally low for weeks. but this is a re-
coYd-breaker and it is nearly the lowest
ever reported. There are few cities that
ever get down to these figures: none of
Ehe larger ones do, and certainly none OF
them In summer"

ALL NOT SERENE
For Roosevelt With New York
Republican Leaders.

Oyster Bay Special to N. Y. World.
President Roosevelt has demanded from
the next Republican State Convention a
formal Endorsement of his candidacy for
1904.
Senator Thomas c. Plat. the veteran
Republican leader of the State, said yes
terday that the Presidents home State
would give him such an Endorsement
A dozen of the most influential leaders
in the party are bitterly opposed to such
action at the convention of 1902. All are
willing to give President Roosevelt's adj
ministration an enthusiastic Endorsement,
but they assert that New Yorks delega-
ton to the next Republican National Con-
vention should not be pledged to anyone
at this time. These leaders declare that If
the President insists they will fight the
plan on the floor of the convention.

The American Newspaper Directory uses GER
tain signs to denote the relative standing and
merit Of the whole field Of newspaperdom
which comes under its notice. and one Of these
signs Is the mystic symbol IS1 denoting
''Eolden,'. which stands for high quality. and

advertisers value this paper more for the
class and quality Of its circulation than for the
mere number Of copies printed"
Such papers are credited with a single sym
boil; but there Is q higher grade. according to
this standard authority which have BOTH
QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the
