Cuba Is Doing Well.

The recent elections for members of
the Cuban House of Representatives
were accompanied with much rioting.
Charges of fraud are made by most OF
the defeated candidates Perhaps some
earnest Cuban politicians did some cheat
ing at the polls. Americans should not
be shocked by the election frauds and
say they prove Cubans cannot govern
themselves. There has been Mt one time
and another considerable election day
cheating in this country. Cuban politics
may be degenerating but industrially
the island is improving. The exports
last year were valued at $7S,4S6, 900, as
against $64 ,94S, 900 the year before. The
sugar exports of 1908 exceeded those OF
1902 by $10,000,000 The number OF
cattle, horses and mules has increased
20 per cent in year. President Palma
says that not single case of yellow
fever or smallpox originated in Cuba in
1908, and that the number Of deaths in
Havana was the lowest since 1920. The
Cuban government is observing Loyalty
the requirement of the Plat amendment
as to the enforcement of sanitary meas
ures. This Is something many did not
expect. President Palma urges the di-
versifcation Of industry. He is WISE
The island should not depend on the one
product-sugar-t such an extent as 1t
does now.-Chicago Tribune.

was looked upon as having been adul-
terated.
The next Improvement was the large
pan placed upon an arch made of stone
or brick. About the same time tin
buckets came into use. A little later
the metallic spout was invented. This
is now of such shape that it fills but
a small portion of the hole bored in the
tree, but is held so firmly that the
bucket is supported by it. It allows
sap to flow from the outer layers of
the tree where there is the greatest
amount of sap, and that which makes
the whitest sugar.
A few sugar makers have their plant
so arranged that the sap, or'sirup, does
not touch wood after the sap leaves
the tree. At the present time color is
an important factor In the value of
maple sugar, and as wood tends to
color it wooden utensils of all kinds
have been discarded as far as possible.
The maple sugar now made is of
light straw color. Any darker than
that will not command the highest
price, and if lighter adulteration with
refined sugar is suspected.
The sap is gathered in tank bold
ing about three barrels placed on a
low led with wide runners. Roads
are made through the sugar bush SO
ell the trees.
