When the beast gets his mind set, the officer
instead of beating him over the head with
board or making fire in his ear, takes
the horses front foot by the fetlock and
bends the leg at the knee joint He holds it
thus for three minutes and lets it down and
the horse almost invariably travels off con-
tentedly. The officer says:
"The only way in which can account for
the effective mastery Of the horse is that he
can think of only one thing at a time,and hav-

that bending his leg takes his mind from the

The Canadian protective tariff policy is
having much the same effect on certain
American manufactures that our own tar
if las had on some Of those of Europe
The tendency is to escape the tariff by es-
tablishing branch factories in Canada. A
large number of such branches, chiefly
machinery making houses, have been es-
tablishing branch factories in Canada. "A
There has been some talk to the effect
that some of the Minneapolis manufac-
turers would establish branches in Win
nipeg. In one way this tendency will
make for freer trade relations. OF course
the owners of these branches will oppose
the reduction of the tariff as much as the
Canadians themselves, but when the Ca
madam industries are we'll developed there
will be no national need Of protection,
since with American capital, American
energy and American ingenuity directing
them they should be able to compete with
manufactures south OF the line. 81

The CUBAN EXCHEQUER

PRESIDENT Palma or the republic OF
Cuba has very commercially announced
that, so far as he can accomplish it, the
republic shall live within it's income. He
does not propose to follow the example of
taxed to give predatory officials an oppor-
tunity for good stealings." He does not
propose that officials shall have fat sal
aries while the people of slender means
have to economize closely.
The United States has retired, handing
over small surplus to the new repub-
lican government, which has at once to
meet the large expenditure for running
the government, which, is necessarily
large even In Cuba. Had congress passed
the Cuban reciprocity measure with a
40 or so per cent reduction of tariff
been brought into the market and its sale
would have stimulated buying and selling
and Increased the revenues of the Cuban
government.
While the United States has shown to
the world unprecedented generosity and
the Cubans, and, in retiring from the
island. makes historic record which can
never be effaced while the world lasts,
congress cannot be felieitated upon its
liberality in dealing with the economic
necessities Of the Cubans. The delay in
acting on the Cuban reciprocity measure
has deprived the Cubans of relief which
they sorely need at the commencement of
their Independent career. That govern
ment has to face, in addition to the de-
mand for revenue to meet the ordinary
expeditures, the claims of the Cuban SOL
diers of the patriotic army, which run in
amount from $50, Oo0, 900 to $50, 200, 900, and
will have to be cut down; the bonds is
sued by the Cuban junta during the re-
bellion, and the mortgage Indebtedness
Of Cubans to foreigners, who are likely to
press their claims which amount to over
$100,0O0,00o on rural property and about
the same on urban property. Upon the
new government will devolve the duty Of
arranging for the settlement of these
claims. These claims cannot be repudi-
ated without provoking the interference
of the foreign creditors and . it is not
difficult to see trouble ahead from this
source. -, ..-. -s.s z...-.
The second clause Of the Plat amend
ment forbids the Cuban government to
contract a public debt for the payment
of which, after defraying the current ex-
penses of government, the ordinary reve-
nues of the island should be Inadequate.
This cuts the government out OF relief
caution, but it ties up the government
badly in a tight place under present con-
ditions and may bankrupt 1t.

Failed to Get Relief Even in
Massachusetts General Hospital
Smiths Buchu Lithia Kidney
Pills Cured Him.

Alpheus F. Nickerson of Co. I, 9th
Massachusetts, Regiment, returned from
Porto Rico, after having served with
his company, and suffering from a most
distressing Kidney and Bladder diff
Guilty. His condition was so bad that
on November 7, 1900, he was sent to the
Massachusetts General Hospital, where
he remained until January 9, 1901,
without obtaining relief in any way,
shape or manner. His entire system
was run down, and as far as could be
seen his stay at the hospital was of no
help, and he left wholly unfit for labor
of any kind and in helpless condition.
After taking Smiths Buchu Lithia
Kidney Pills for some three weeks, his
trouble entirely disappeared. He was
able to return to work, and is working
today, looking strong and vigorous,
and his cure is nothing less than mirao-
ulous.
