"To the Editor
of BoLETIN MERoANTIL
Dear Mr. Editer:
For the benefit OF the young people OF
Puerto Rico who are desirous Of attending
school in the United States / aoish to speak
IN favor OF two schools with which 1 am
acquainted.
The first is the Marion Normal College
and Business University of Marion, Grant
Country, Indiana, city of twenty thousand
inhabitsnts, Marion is situated in the Ma
tural Gas belt of Indiana, and is healthy
beautiful city. Marion Normal and Busi
ness college represents 10 its fullest sense
the spirit Of the age.-Progress.
Thus spirit manlfests itself in every de.
partment of the schools.
The recognition of the instruction by the
best Colleges and Universities, is substan
tial evidence that the WORK done is modern
and thorough. Marion is only eighty miles
from Indianapolis, the Capital, with which
it is connected by Electric Railway. The
cost Of transportation being only eighty
cents to the Capital.
The cost Of attending this College il
small when compared with other Colleges
offering the same advantages. The total
cost for forty weeks being only 800 00l
ninety dsllars. All persons contemplating q
course of study in the states will do we'll to
invnnti os 70 Aha rne-ies - thso lnStitubion By
writing to Prof. O. FL. Boneher Marion
Indiana who will gladly furnish all peces
sary information. Those not wishing to 90
so far north will find good school among q
good people in De Funiak City Florida
The climate is similar to that of Porto Rico
only little cooler for ia short time in the
year. A very interesting feature Of De
Funlak is the fact that the Ohautauqua AS
sembly meets there every year furnishing as
it does feast Of fat things for seven or
eight weeks, the best talent from the differ.

VARIOUS NOTES.

Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mis-
sionsry, who, with Mime. Tsilka, was cap
tured BY brigands in Che district of Salonica,
on September 8, 1901, has been released
and arrived at Strumitzs, Macedonia, al
three o'clock yesterday morning. Nobody
was there to meet her, as the 'brigands had
given no indication where they proposed to
release the prisoners. Mime. Tsilka and her
infant were released at the same time. The
first news of Miss Stones release was con-
tanned in telegram received by Mr. Dickn
son, the American Consul General at Gen
stsntinople, from the American Vice Consu
at Salonica::

Charges Aganst PuNl Officials,

There is every provision in the Law for
the removal of public officisls found gulity
Of improper conduct in Office. Any pubic
servant charged with the performance OF q
public duty who fails in this duty, or who
upiustly or dishonesty performs this duty,
can be speedily brought up with snaIp
turn, and removed from the trust whicn ne
may hold. Every ample provision exists ior
the examination and final discnarge irom
public service of any such offender.
Desultory, indefinite, harem scarem
charges made in public newspapers against
officials whom it is sought to remove, will
never and can never under 3 just govern
ment receive any consideration whatsoever
Using Q newspaper as . means OF vllilIying
and elandering the community can never be
sanctioned by any self. respecting govern
ment. Scandalising the administration ~
charges which it has never been attempted
to prove, will not bring about the removal
Of any official.
There are many instances on record where
officials have been removed for lesser
charges than those brought by the Scandal
monger in the columns Of the Yellowist.
But these charges were properly ana de
Gently placed before the authorities, were
considered and in cases We're the charges
have been proven immediate dism :ssal has
been the result. officials shown to be in
competent or dishonest have been renewed
from office, on being properly proceeded
against. Investigations covering many
weeks of hard work have been had IN any
number of matters of this very nature.
If there be reason for charges against any
person in the public service in Porto Rict
the fling of those charges before the proper
su thorities and the honest investigation, o,
the authorities will always result and II
every case will justice be done.
IF the Yellowist can prove the charge'
made by It, add can make them real chsrgeI
instead of insults to all decency, every
guarantee of ample consideration would b
given. This has never been attempted, ant
judging from past records will not be in th'
future. There is world Of license in theS'
newspaper charges. One nay quote othe
newspapers. one may say ''it is said" or ''i
10 rumored" and regulations can be shattered
in an instant, without hearing or withou
an opportunity Of denying or disprOving tn
accusations.
But the prosecution of these charges be
fore the Governor has never been attempted
and the reason is most plain. This woult

UNIT TO HELP CUBA.

The representatives who heard Secrstsry
Hay deliver his eulogy on President Nc
kinley ought to have WINGED under the lash
Of certain quotations from the Buffalo
speech. They were listening to an oration
that will he historic, and the reference to
reciprocity - The last testament Of the man
who had guided Republican policy for more
than four years contained some truths that
exposed the recresncy of those who sre falss
TO that policy now. The first instance In
which treaty Of reciprocity was involved
in the most SOLEMN national obligation has
been treated by the Huoss as il It had 90
claim TO consideration. The fiasco in the
Republican caucus has Q lessen which the
whole conHtTy will take 10 heart.
While the exact teyt Of President Rcose.
tslt's special message on the subject has
net been made public, or rather has not yet
reached this Island, it is certain that he
urged that measure of relief shich he believ
cd was necessary for the salvation Of the
Cuban people. The scant attention paid to
IL b the caucus certainly means that the
msn whe discussed 1t are unfit to help Oubs.
By unit to help OubA We do not mean that
they are wanting in Intelligence to see the
matter in . just spirit, but that the interests
and the seoEions Of the country which they
Represent have take hold Of them, and that
the old story ofchaEity beginning at home has
BEEN brought into nse.
TIE question can truly be asked what
harm can be done to the home industries
and wkat ID the msssurs Of relief that Cuba
can b given. This matter has bsen argued
time aud again. The little harm that Cuba
might DO Porte Rico or the continent would
be 10 paid fourfoid. The measure Of relief
to The Cuban people would be % great as to
stand cut forever in the minds Of Che people
II that Island. We take the view that this
b matter Of charity, more than Of obligs
