# any confidence is to be placed In the
statements Of the busy CORE spondents.
it must be conceded that the spirit OF
revolution is rampant III Cuba-rampant
under a temporary covering. ACCORDING
to more than one or these pusy writer's
and close observers of events, the real
significance of the resignation OF Senior
Terry from the Cabinet or president
Palma is just now coming 10 ne,lt.
Terry, it seems. il the correspondents
do not r1!slead us, represented the con-
servative element of the Cuban people in
the Cabinet The extremists in the Cuban
Congress have been violently olssatisnec
with some of the Cabinet appointments,
and the most objectionable of these was
Secretary Terry, who had served in a
somewhat similar capacity under Genera1
Wood, a fact which, in Itself, made him
obnoxious to the revolutionists in and
out of the Cuban Congress AS mat
ter of fact, the extreme element in Con-
gress has been threatening to commence
impeachment proceedings against fresi-
dent Palma unless ne reorganlzed MS
Cabinet.
1t was Senior Terry who advocated the
authorizing Of loan of S4,G0D,OOO Tor the
purpose of aiding in the immediate de-
yelopment OF the agricultural interests,
upon the prosperity or which depenos
the welfare of the island. This was not
favored by the extremists, and 1t was the
latter who projected the scheme Tor
creating a ponoed dept OIL soo,v,v,vve, tile
greater part OF which was TO be ap-
piled to the payment OF the back-pay
claims of the Cuban army. Senior Terry
by incurred the deadly hostility or the
revoluuonary party DouprIess senior
Terry retired from the Cabinet IN order,
if possible. to minimize or at least mod
ify the wrath OF the extremists against
President Palma.
1t remains to be seen what erect MS
action will have. The indications are
that his retirement VIII not neIp mat
tiers, for the simple reason that Cuban
liot-heads are bent upon mischief. and
the granting of one concession but en-
boldens them to demand even more.
Political ambitions and the love or
power will prove to be 4 great strain to
stable government and republican insti-
tuuons IN CUBA, a greater stIaIln, Inueeu.
than Scarc-.y of money and the absence
of general prosperity. NO matter how
great may be the volume Of business and
how prosperous may be the people, the
revoutonists, the ambitious lovers OF
power who are now among the outs,
could not be pacitied.
1t is to be feared that the temperament
of the Cubanss is such that in the very
nature of the case a revolution is among
the early probabilities for Cuba unless
the strong arm of the United States shall
be stretched forth and it shall be said
unto the hot-blooded Latins: ''Tnus 1ar
shalt thou go and no tartner.

But il Richmond needs literature OF
This character, IL Richmond needs az

States in the West and Northwest are

Virginia is veritable paradise. Wlth

IN Dixie Land !!


The New Orleans Picayune, which has
been investigating the future of the new
oil fields, says:
1.-THE Southern oil fields is just begin
ming to be opened. 1t is going to prove
as vast as any found or that is possible.
The Southern oil field on the shores Of
the Mexican Sea Wilt rival, and doubt
less surpass, in productivity the Russian
field on the shores of the Caspian. with
the advantage that our sea is open to
the ships of the whole world while the
Caspian is an inclosed Asiatic lake. The
possibilities Of our oil field are beyond
all computation, and challenge the mag
nation to picture them as they are going
to be realized"

The Concord IN. c. Tribune says:

1.-THE Richmond Times remarks that
"a Southern man would look well on the

usually behaves we'll in such positions
The South has furnished many men who
adorned high places and can readily
produce good lockers and wise headers
for this or any other position of promi-
nence. There is an abundance of Supreme
Court material in the South, but it's not
likely that we will furnish the man just
now

A London correspondent points to the
rapid recovery Of King Edward as a ref
utation of the stories that he has led q
have been circulated by the Kings enc
mics and are slanderous. He adds:
He is the only man In England who
cannot reply to the lies that are told
about him. Every implacable, wou!d-be
courtier of either sex who has failed at
Court, particularly when feminine, is a
perambulating mandatory of fiction
about the King. l once had the opportun-
ity of discussing the matter with the
King when he was Prince of Wales.
Every disappointed schemer and unscru-
pulous notoriety hunter has him at his
mercy. Nine-tenths of the stories that
have been told about the King are un-
true, and the other tenth are tinged with
untru,h. 1t is impossible to know him or
TO meet him in intimate conversation
without recognizing that Edward VII.
is no ordinary man. 1t IS true that he
knows what he does know, not from
books. but from contact with men. He
has an unerring instinct of what is the
right thing TO do. and this instinct is de-
pendent on a good heart, not merely on a
good manner. 4ae otner day, after re-
ceiving the Colonials to the number of
1900 and making 1000 bows in response
to many salutes, the King. accompanied
by Sir Frederick Treves, unostentatious-
ly paid a visit to the College of Surgeons
No public announcement has been made
on the subject OF this visit. There as,
however. no reason to doubt that the
object of the King was to acknowledge
in person his Indebtedness to the great
profession to which he owed his life The
thing was an obvious thing to do. but
then many invalids with a great deal on
hand would not have done it."
The King seems to be giving pretty
good account of himself these days.
