The Future of Cuban Reciprocity.

4uS uIuTS VI SuUdu ICClpIOClly.
THE day will undoubtedly come, and
hope 1t will, when the industry will be ex
tensive all through that country. However
see no particular need of becoming agi-
tated over it now. Last year the beet
sugar product of Nebraska had to be sold
outside the state as the sugar trust sold
than the beet sugar people could meet
3 to 31z cents.
What do I think will be done at the
next session about Cuba? Oh, 1 believe the
President will formulate treaty with Cuba
and ask the Senate to ratify 1t, and that
the Senate will do as he desires. l don't
think there will be another anti-reciprocity
contest. You see, it's a bad thing for a
man to oppose the administration. I am
considerable of a partisan and dislike to see
one faction arrayed against another. It's
bad for the party. l think every republi-
can will follow the President at the next
session.
Except in few isolated places agricul-
tural consideration throughout the middle
west are remarkably good" continued the
senator. switching from politics to farm
ing. Some of the little valleys Of Iowa
and Nebraska have had too much water
but generally it Is safe to predict enormous
crops everywhere. Kansas is to have an
other big year of wheat and corn, and Iowa
will have as big corn crop as she ever
had, If not the biggest. We are in excel
lent condition in Nebraska, too. The farm
ers are feeling happy and contented and

Six Republican Congressman.

But returning to western politics, Il
don't know that there is great deal can
tell you. for I've been away from home
several days l think there is no doubt that
we will send six republican representatives
back here. The congressional campaign
hasn't really opened. but there is plainly a
strong republican sentiment throughout the
state The strongest point in our favor is
that every republican will this year vote
the party ticket all over the state. 1t will
simply be question of getting out the
vote. for We have no factional quarrels. ex-

by Mr.. Mercer.
II am strongly OF the opinion that nothing
damaging to the party will result even
there. Mr.. Mercer. OF course is opposed
for the republican nomination by Mr.. Rose
water. But no matter what their differ
ences are, a republican will be elected, and
a good man is sure TO be nominated. Mr..
Rose water believes he can defeat Mr.. Mer-
GER and. l understand, has succeeded in
getting two or three candidates out against
him. l feel quite confident Mr.. Mercer will
be renOmnated. He is very popular in
Omaha and has the party organization
there in his own hands
Mr.. Rosewater.stated last winter that il
he couldn't find any one to run against
Mercer, and that II Mercer received the
nomination, he (Rosewater) would run as
an independent candidate. / take no stock

Speaking of the beet sugar and Cuban
questions as they effect the west in general

These matters are not entering into the

few sugar beet raised in the state there
are but two plants. so that the industry
there generally does not amount to a great

ALEXANDRIA, Va, August Z, 1902
Mayor Simpson has given orders to the
police to conduct a rigid inspection of the
drainage from houses on King street and
to report all persons who allow anything
except rain water to flow from their prem
ises to the cutters. Commencing today, all
violators of this law will be taken TO the
police court and fined 50 per day for each
day that they violate the ordinance 1t ap-
peared that some Of the property owners
and tenants were somewhat tardy In obey-
ing the order recently issued by the mayor
for the observance of this law and positive
measures for its enforcement were decided
upon.
The ordinance in question, which was
passed by the city council June 10, became
operative July 1. 1t provides that no person
shall allow drainage from his or her prem
ises to" reach the gutter on streets under
which sewers are constructed. This
amounts practically to making the tapping
of sewers compulsory, and is considered a
step in the direction of the general bet
terment of drainage. The work Of repay
Ing King street has been seriously retarded
by the water draining into the newly open-
ed curbng beds, and the mayor has deter
mined that the nuisance shall be abated

the undertaking parlors of W. Demaine &
Sons, on King street, and were conducted
by Rev. J. P Stump Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South. The nephews Of the
deceased acted as pallbearers.
Penalty Of Vagrancy.
In the dock at the Police Court this morn
ing Abe holland, Frank Mcdonald, Thomas
Finn and Annie Finn were lined up on the
charge of vagrancy. They all made
strong plea for mercy, but Mayor Simpson
considered the evidence against them which
was that they had t. been begging on the
street, as conclusive, and sent the crowd,
with the exception of Annie, down for
twenty days. The unfortunates said they
came from Richmond and were looking for
work.
Ida Freeman. coiered, got into trouble by
assaulting Lucy Jackson, also colored. The
fine in that case was 30.

Military Inventions to Be Tried.

The board of ordnance and fortifications
was in session yesterday, and considered a
number of new inventions of various kinds
which have been offered for trial. The
board will probably recommend an increase
in the annual appropriation from $1,000 to
$200,000 for making experiments and trials
of various kinds of ordnance and ordnance
materials. The matter of the new field gun
was not submitted to the board at this ses-

each mule carrying two sacks of sugar
each trip. Think of the expense of such a
system! And speaking of sugar, reminds
me OF the question of Cuban reciprocity l
can tell you after four years experience in
the island that a reduction in tariff by this
government will be of little or no benefit TO
the Cuban himself.
What the Cuban must do is to diversity
his crop. He must raise oranges, bananas,
p1neapples and other tropical fruits and
not think sugar and tobacco are the only
things which grow on the island. Cuban
pineapples are the finest that grow and
the bananas and oranges are excellent The
trouble is the people don't know they can
CubanS never do anything original of that
character. They must be shown that fruit
can be raised and then they must be shown
how to can it or preserve it, and thus be
able to market it.
THE Cuban sugar and tobacco industries
will be great industries when conditions in
the island become settled, but the man with
little or no capital will be unable to engage
In either Therefore, he must find some
thing else to do at which he can make his
living. Just now conditions in Cuba are
