second generation as having advant-
ages of better education along the
lines of patriotism and liberty, or
rather perhaps that they will know
more concerning these things. Doubt.
less this will be true, for we all sim
cerely hope that with the present
educational system of this country we
are not going backward Talk is
cheap. If Senator Hanna, Senator
Platt or President Baer are so vitality
interested in educating this incoming
foreign population let them meet
them upon somewhere near the same
footing and discuss the social con-
dltions surrounding these people, es-
pecially those employed by certain of
these gentlemen. There is such
thing as personal magnetism being of
avail when discussing these conditions
mentioned by Senator Hanna, but it is
hardly noticeable to those people re-
ferred to by him when they receive it
at such long range as happens in this
case

FACTS ABOUT CUBA.

From recent bulletin issued by
the United States Geological Survey,
entitled, "A Gazetteer of Cuba"
compiled by Henry Gannett, geo
grapher, the following suggestive
facts regarding the island are taken.
With an acreage of "A, 600 square
miles and a population in 1899 of
l,572 791, only per cent of the area
of the island and only ten per cent of
the area in farms was under cult
walton. The most highly cultivated
portions of the island were in Ma
tanzas and Habana provinces which
lie adjoining in its western part,
while in Puerto Principe, the large
central province, cultivation was
comparatively slight and the land
was used-mostly for cattle ranches.
The crops, in the order of areas Gull
tivated, were: first, sugar cane, &C.
cupying some what less than half of
the cultivated area; next, sweet po-
tatoes, occupying II per cent OF the
area; tobacco, per cent, and banan-
as a trifle less than 8 per cent. To-
bacco and sugar were grown in all
the provinces. In 1899 there were in
Cuba 207 sugar mills, with a daily
production of 81, 407 bags.
Light is thrown on the depopulat-
ing effect of war in Cuba by the
comparison of the census of 1899 with
that of 1877. In the latter year it
was 1851, 6S7, or 5000 more than
twelve years later, in 1899 Allow
ing for the probable increase in the
population between 1887 and 1895, the
year in which the instruction broke
out, the loss of life, as indicated by
buted to the war and the accompany.
ing concentration. The bulletin is
accompanied by maps and charts,
and contains nearly 1900 geographic
names.

THE FREE SCHOOL.

Senator Hanna's address before
Chautauqua assemblage seems hardly
consistent with that gentleman S
actions as regards the employment of
foreign labor. Speaking upon the
labor question he referred to some of
the discouraging phases as follows:
1.-THE enormous number of foreign
ers coming to our shores from every
country of Europe, uneducated and
knowing nothing of the government
of free people, believing that liber-
ty is license or something good to
eat, feel that their interest is diamet-
rically opposed to the government
and their employer. But thank God,
we have an institution in the United
States, the free school, and every
child of foreigner is educated, so
that the second generation will know
something about liberty"
All these high sounding phrases
may appear pretty and smooth, if
taken in the line of politics, but com
ing from Mr. Hanna as the utterances
of a would-be reformer there is but
little doubt but that they will be
heavily discounted. He refers to the

YEAR OF ROOSEV EFT.

A year ago tomorrow Theodore Roose-
welt became the twenty-sixth Presiden
Of the United States. A few moments
before takiug the oath Of Office he pledged
himself "to continue absolutely unbroken
the policy of President Mckinley"
President Roosevelt has kept that pledge,
as the world knows, and the peace and
prosperity of this nation has continued
under the administration of the new
President. He has overridden stumbling
blocks and surmouLted obstacles. He
has become the admiration of his people
and of the civilized world. Every loyal
citizen feels thrill OF pride as he reads
the utterances of the Chief Executive,
believing that the words he has spoken

or written contain the true sentiments of
the man and outline his future policy.
President Roosevelt's New England
tour has undoubtedly cemented loyal
friendship between himself and the peo-
pie of the North, and everywhere on his
trip his discourses urging fealty to our
country, its flag and its industries, have
aroused new interest not only in him but
in governmental affairs. Believing abso-
lntely in the policy of McKinley's sue
cessor, Vermont and her sister States in
New England will pos lively refuse in
1904 to lend hand toward the undoing
Of this era of prosperity, due in no small
measure to the sound judgment, wise
forethought, the integrity and ability Of

TEXAS OIL.

During the twelve months past
Eastern United States, and particular
ly New England, has been flooded
with literature pertaining to the enor-
nous wealth which boomers and
brokers claim exists in the Lone
Star State in the way of petroleum.
Booklets, circulars and newspaper ad-
vertisements have entreated Eastern
capitalists to plant their cash beneath
the grass roots of Texas, assuring such
investors that wealth untold awaits
all who will fatten the pocketbooks
of Western promoters by purchasing
blocks of stock in the hundred and
one soliciting companies. For a
while these Texas oil propositions
were handled rather gingerly, but
investigation by disinteres ted persons
has tended to show that but little is
yet known of the vastness and i'm
portance of the Texan oil fields. The
geological! survey has in course of pre-
paration a report on the oil resources
of Texas 1t is estimated that an
annual output of 10000, 900 barrels
can be attained without decreasing
the supply and that tank steamers
having from 60, 600 to $4,000 barrels
capacity can transport the oil to the
Atlantic seaboard at nominal cost
Professor Hayes, who is preparing
the report, says that, with coal at
from Sc to 81 80 per ton, a barrel of
oil would have fuel value of about
So and it is estimated that the oil can
be sold at from thirty cents to forty
cents per barrel 1t is believed,
therefore, that oil will in time be-
come a practical competitor of coal.
The one requisite is a satisfactory
and practical oil burner. With the
present conditions in the anthracite
region, proper appliances for the using
of oil commercially as fuel would
doubtless relieve the existing critical
situation in the coal market. Invest
ors are already turning their atten-
ton to the need of oil burning ap.
planes.

how he happened to be elected in the

having been defeated in any political
project for which he had worked.
Asked if he was candidate for

denied nor affirmed the report, but
stated that he believed he would
have the support of the counties in

enter the lists. He did not feel that
