JOURNALISM is GREAT FIELD
George Meredith, Of England, Says It
Almost Takes the Place Of
Government.

George Meredith, the father Of con-
temporary English letters, has been CIV
ing vigorous expression to his opinions
on current affairs.
Regarding journalism he said: ct Is
most likely that practical Journalists,
like practical politicians, will have to go
largely on opportunist lines. Though
most Of my work has been imaginative,
I have done q certain amount Of Journal
lam and recognize its difficulties. But
It has extraordinary power, too, and
great opportunity for fine influence. II
has almost taken the place Of govern
ment II is true that the editorials In
nearly all the newspapers have fallen
on very much only quite recently In
power and character. don't know what
the reason for that Is, but still newspa-
pens have very great influence. The
power and functions Of government are
undoubtedly diminishing. don't know
whether we shall reach the time when
there win be no government at all, as
some people hope, but certainly that is
the tendency. Tyranny, which Is the
completa form Of government, has been
tried and proved to be impossible. We
shall never have that again unless the
democracy bstrays itself"

WHITE MICE CAUSE PANIC.
Womsn at Atlantic City Flee in Con
fusion from the Harmless
Little Rodents.

Willie Fitzgerald, a newsboy Of At
lantic City, N. J., was carrying six white
mice In q box down the board walk one
day recently, when a rolling chair hit
him, causing him to drop the box. The
lid few open and out jumped the mice.
The walk was crowded with hundreds
Of men, women and children, and the
feminine contingent scattered in all d.
rections. Neither direction nor the
manner Of going was considered, the
women giving vent to heartrending
yeIls.
Miss Eda Lintman, Of Lancaster, Pa
who learned much about athletics while
at Vassar, made a bound for the railing
on the board walk, cleared it and landed
on the beach. Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Ivans, who came from Pittsburg on their
honeymoon, were Tudely separated.
Mrs. Ivans made on down the board
walk, and was only found after a three
hours search.
An aged invalid woman, who was be-
ing wheeled down the board walk in q
rolling chair, forgot her ailments, gave
q leap from the carriage and ran up an
adjacent avenue. Another woman, who,
1t is estimated, weighed close 70 $50
pounds, slipped as she started to run,
and landed with all her weight on one
Of the mice.

Better Than Mere 'sThank You.p

There is something OF the German
kaiser's character in the young king
Of Spain, and already his people are
well Eware Of that fact. Recently, when
driving through Malaga, q small and
ragged urchin broke through the guards
and jumped right into his carriage.
What have you 10 say?" asked the
king. Il want a new jacket and shoes,
your majesty" But have you no IA

the boy; "but he is too poor 20 give me

took his address. Are you not going

THE EARTHQUAKE.

The earthquake of last Saturday was
the severest one experienced on Maui
in several years. There were two or
three shocks, the last being much the
heaviest. In Paia and other parts OF
Makawao district china ratified, pic
lures swung to and fro, and walls of
houses creaked and cracked ominously.
At KahuIui store much crockeryware
was broken and bottles of salad oil
smashed, the liquid running over
shelves and floor. The vibration was
the chief subject of conversation DUR
ing the afternoon of the 4th.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-19

lean rice was imported into Cuba free
of duty, Java rice, now exclusively
used, would be entirely excluded from
the Cuban table, by reason of the finer
quality of our rice, which was used
by all classes of people in Cuba before
1861.
To give an idea of the great con-
sumption of rice in Cuba l will have
to refer to Porto Rico, her sister; Por-
to Rico, under the Spanish regime,
only used East India rice; as soon as
she became a territory of the United
States and rice could be imported free
OF duty, the expectation of rice from
this country to that island has been
immense, increasing daily with phe-
nomenal rapidity since the removal of
all tariff restrictions in July, 1901. An
inquiry to the collector of customs at
New Orleans will show your readers
the immense volume of American rice
exported to Porto Rico through that
custom house during last year.
Cuba's Population.
Cuba has to-day a population of
over 100000 against Puerto Rico's
100000. Puerto Rico may be able to
support in the future 100000 people,
while Cuba can easily support 115 e Gee
UOD. Inc distance from new orleans
to San Juan, Puerto Rico, is 1892
miles; from New Orleans to Havana,
only 1903 miles. The republic of Cuba
is therefore the promised land to the
rice industry of Louisiana and Texas;
and a strong effort should be made to
the effect that the Cuban tariff on
American rice should be lowered and
if possible entirely abolished.
The government of Cuba is in good
hands. President Tomas Estrada Pal
ma is a gentleman and a scholar, a
Cuban patriot, in the full meaning of
the word and a great admirer Of the
American people and institutions; an
able statesman who has surrounded his
government with some of the most
distinguished men in Cuba, so that
peace and prosperity may reign, there
fore the republic of Cuba in the very
near future will be one of the most
prosperous countries and its popula-
ton will steadily increase. We should
try our best to have the Cuban mar
kets speedily opened to American
rice.
