LIFE IN YUCATAN.
Five Yeas Residence Makes Ameri-
can Look Like Mexican.


A residence of five years in Yucca
tan VIII make an American look
like Mexican and dress like one.
That is the impression one gets in
looking at many OF the passengers
who troop down the gangway from
the steamers arriving from Mexico.
This is true to greater extent in
the case of women than of men. The
climate of Yucatan seems to take
the color from their cheeks and to
replace it with a very light shade of
copper. They chatter Spanish as if
it were their mother tongue, but it is
their dress, or rather the manner in
which they wear it, that has the
real look of the middle class Mexican.
A Mexican woman, if young has an
attractive air from the top of her head
to her waist. Below the waist she
looks sloppy. The skirt is too wide
and too long and is so shapeless as to
be utterly lacking in style. 1t is of
the street cleaning variety. and the
wearer does not seem to know how
to pick it up in way to show her.
self to advantage.
The American woman who lives
long in the country falls into this
habit with a facility that is painful
to an American man who lives at
home. But Americans who live in
Yucatan are, generally speaking,
making money, particularly if they
are interested in hemp, and they
find consolation in this fact.
Since the outbreak of the Spanish
war the manufacture of hemp from
sisal has become principal business
of Yucatan, and haciendadors who
devote themselves to the growing of
the plant and turning it into hemp
are making ropes of money. Merida,
the capital of Yucatan, is, it is said,
the richest city in Mexico in proper
tion to its population, which is
placed anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000.
Tt is also the dirtiest city in Mexico,
which is saying something very un-
pleasant, for there are few clean
cities in the sister republic. Merida
has neither water nor a sewerage
system, and that il is not depOpu-
lated every year speaks well for the
constitutions of the inhabitants, and
may also, say something for the beer
which Is drunk there and is made on
the spot by Americans

A Remarkable Letter Distributed
in Washington.
TARIFF REVISION THE ISSUE
And the Only Issue in the Next
Campaign.

Washington, Oct. %. Prominent
republicans in Washington today re-
ceived the following communication
from the American Protective
League, whose headquarters is in
New York 1t speaks for itself:
1.-The tariff is the leading issue in
the congressional campaign which
closes November 4.
1.-THE tariff will be the leading issue,
almost the only issue, in the presiden
tial Champaign of 1904.
1.-The republican party is divided
ON the tariff question. This is fact
to be deplored, but not concealed. it
is better to face the truth than to
dodge it.
IF the present division within the
republican party continues for the
next two years, the republican party
will not elect a president or a con-
gresham in 1904.
1.-The republican party has invari-
ably won when united on the tariff
1.-THE republican party has invari-
ably lost when divided on the tariff.
1.-The defeat of 1892 was brought
about by the republicans who thought
and said the Mckinley tariff was too
high, and not by democrats who
thought and said the same thing.
''It was the frugal class in our vot-
ing population, shaken in its own be-
lief by republican wavering as to the
wisdom and efficiency of the McKin-
ley tariff, whose votes elected Grover
Cleveland. These frugal people were
made to believe that prices were too
high in 1892, and that the best way
to cheaper prices was to elect a tariff
reform administration. These same
frugal people will decide the question
of tariff repeal in 1904 if republicans
persist in telling them that under the
Dingley tariff prices are too high,
and that increased foreign competi-
tion is needed in order to lower do
mestic prices.
IF only the democrats and free
traders said that prices were too high
and must be reduced by tariff repeal
the frugal classes would not believe
it. 1t is when republicans tell them
this that they believe it, and they
will vote rs they believe.
Neither in the congressional cam
paign of 1902 nor in the presidential
campaign of 1904 can the republican
party possibly lose if it stands attic.
gether on the tariff question, if il
stops talking the kind of stuff that
should be left to democrats alone Il
talk-namely, the necessity for tariff
revision.
"If republicans continue to us
campaign arguments against the re
publican party, the defeat of the re
publican party is an assured fact
1t can be brought about in no Othe
way"

sTENNIs SENSATION.

Dekalb, Miss, Oct. ga sensation
has been created in this county by the
publication of card from Represent
ative J. D. Stennis, charging that
members of the present legislature
form mob when they are at Jackson
and ignore every law in order to plum
der the state treasury. Representa-
tive Stennis is fighting the proposed
amendment which will abolish the
special sessions of the legislature and
make the sittings of the regular ses-
sions every two years. He says the
move is one for plunder and that the
people should vote against the amend
ment for that reason. In this section
there will be few votes cast against
either of the three amendments offered
at the November election.

CANADA MENACED NOW.
Effects Of the Coal Strike VIII soon
he Felt There.

Washington. Sept. 23.--A serious fuel
famine confronts the people Of Canada
AS result of the prolonged PennSyl-
vania coal strike, according to Il re
port from United States Consul Sey-
fert. at Stratford. Ont. Canada usual
ly consumes annually nearly 3.NN.MW
tons of anthracite coal. all of which
comes from Pennsylvania. Most of
this is shipped during the summer
months. but during the past summer
no coal was delivered.
This condition of affairs has given q
tremendous impetus to the manufac-
turing Of peat for fuel. The whole
question Of making the inexhaustible
beds Of bog commercially valuable,
the consul points out, lies in the dry
ing process. He says that the genius
who will invent a machine satisfa cto-
rily to extract the moisture from crude
peat will not only make a fortune, but
be public benefactor.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars
are being expended. it Is stated. in ex-
periments intended to perfect machin-
cry which can convert the crude bog
Into satisfactory fuel to take the
place to large extent Of hard coal.
