0stle of abSurditieS; let us grant that
he has succeeded in fascinating all tho
Sc who have aided him in his project,
including the members OF the Assem-
blv. the functionarias and the journal
lists.
But even admitting all this, we will
not have succeeded in freeing our
mind form the fears produced by the
thought that this sum of ten thousand
dollars is destined by the Insular gov
ernment for the improvement of the
native breed of cattle.
Admitting all these hypothesis
which we have stated, we cannot rid
ourselves of the fear inspired by the
meddling of the functionaries in mat
ters which do not concern them, ma
king it possible for them to introduce
into the breeding of native cattle the
same confusion which they have in
jected into everything in Porto Rico.
One of the best industries we have
in the country is the raising of cattle.
We will not go so far as to affirm that
it is not susceptible OF improvement.
or that our cattle are the best in the
world, but they fully satisfy the public
requirements and are of greater
usefulness than American cattle, as
has been successfully demonstrated.
This apparently has not been suffi-
cient and the functionaries are now
bent on the experiment of crossing the
native breeds of horses, bulls and
hogs with American stock.
The live stock wealth of a country
must not be jeopardized by risking
experiments which may prove useless
and that possibly will do more harm
than good to our stock which has
splendid markets such as Cuba, Cura-
Gao, Santo Domingo. Venezuela and
others. and furthermore the cattle
owners have not needed the aid of the
government to give value in those
markets to the cattle of this Island.
Why then should there new be this
suspicious solicitude for a certain
branch of public wealth, protection
which has neither been asked for nor
needed
Why do they take from Sanseveria
an appropriation so necessary and
withal so modest, to give it to such an
uncertain and perhaps dangerous ex-
pertinent?
1T is we'll for those functionarjes to
understand that aside from profound
obedience to law. they are obliged to
guard with inf1exible fidelity the sour
ces of the country's wealth and not
place it at the mercy Of doubtful eX-
periments and caprices which may be
Injurious to our interests and contrary
to our welfare.
The improving of the breeds of live
stock is not province of government
unless the owners solicit it, when
there has been degeneration in the
species, or in crisis of epidemic
As fortunately nothing of that kind
has occurred here, the otficious sollcl-
tude of the functionaries in this mat
ter presents a marked contrast to their
neglect and indifference towards the
ruin and paralization of the coffee
plantations, to their dea fness to the
painful and agonized clamors of the
owners.
1t might be said that the motto of
this government is epitomized in the
common saying: to go against the po-
pulsr currents, or more truly, to go
contrary to common sense.

The government has just been gull
|ty of another improperly, a censurabl
disregard of a measure enacted by the
Legislative Assembly and new disc
respectful boast of its Indifference
towards Our principal elements OF
wealth.
We are going to state the facts, such
as have been made public by an aquil-
lene paper with beat Of drum, SO that
Our readers may Judge the conduct OF
those in power and make upon it the
comments it deserves.
Our habitual indulgence towards the
bureaucrats prevents our giving the
exact characterization. And less now.
seeing that we no longer aspire to con-
vert the redemptionists, whom we are
determined to abandon to their fate, in
view of their gross ingratltude.
Neither counsels, Serm onS nor hom1-
lies have had the desired effect on the
contumacious functionaries.
Our pious charity has almost rea-
ched it's limits, but this is no cause for
rejoicing on the part of the clients OF
the budget.
If we leave for the time being our
work as educators, it is not to lose
SIGHT of the functionaries and leave
them unnoticed in their sinful orgies,
To ignore them entirely would tend
to encourage contumacy, which with
the bureaucrats. has become chronic.
If our couesels, our reproofs and Our
warnings are less frequent, the acts OF
the tutorjal clique will none the less
be subject to our inevitable probing
And opinion, with its inplacable
severity will judge them.
Now for the facts.
The Legislative Assembly appro-
priated ten thousand dollars for the
purpose of developing the cultivation
of Sanseveria, a textile plant of un-
known value and unappreciable usef-
illness in the weaving industry.
This very modest sum was voted by
both Houses after campaign Initial
ed and defended with relative success
by very competent agriculturist, Mr.,
Agostini to whom the agricultural IN
terests of Porto Rico are deeply in
debted.
The cultivation Of this plant, which
possesses many marked superiorities
over cotton, would have opened pro-
missing future for the industry in this
Island.
But that fatality which. in nvariably
interveres in all the acts of the gov
eminent, which makes them appear as
mista kes-when they are not evils
has changed the destiny of the amount
appropriated for the development of
Sanseveria culture and dedicated it to
experiments for securing an improved
breed of cattle.
Let us for moment assume that
this act is not crime and plain dis
regard of the expressed will OF the
Assembly, which approved the expen-
diture of ten thousand dollars for the
purpose stated; let US for the time
being overlook the mary advantages
of that textile plant which have al
ready been demonstrated and for
whose cultivation the fertility of our
lands is peculiarly suitable; let us
leave out Of account the many weaving
factories which might be esta blished
here, thus developing very important
industry; let us for the sake Of argu-
ment admit that Mr.. Agostinl is vi
sionsry, an idle dreamer and an ap-

Ancient Canadian Castles.

To Americans castles are associated
with the stored Rhine, picturesque
England or France and Spain. but It
IL interesting to be reminded by the
st. John Up. E. ~ News that there
are a number Of ancient Canadian
castles still existing. the chief ones
being st. Ours. Rimouski. St. Eus-
tache, I.otbiniere. Monticello, Ste.
Marie de Ia Beance. Vaudreil, Rou-
Vile, and. most interesting of all, the
Chateau de Ramezav at Montreal.
The latter was built in 17c5 by Ger
trude de RameZay. at that time gov.
oynor of the district of Montreal and
knight of the Royal and Military Or
der of st. Louis. From him was de.
scended the last French governor of
Quebec, at the time of the capitula-
ton In 1853.

The World Wants Peace.

In the war with Russia, Japan has
shown a progressive spirit, and while
victory has been largely on their side
yet they are disposed to bring about
peace honorable to both parties. II
Russia still refuses then the nations
of the world intend to demand that
the war cease. In the battle against
disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has been most successful, always driv-
ing 1t out and fortifying the system so
that 1t cannot return. 1t is prompt and
eficient in its action in cases of poor
appetite. bloating, heartburn, indiges'
ton, dyspepsia. costiveness. cramps
female disorders, or malaria, fever
and ague. 1t is especially good as a
recuperant when the system has been
weakened by a severe cold or attack
of grippe. We urge every sick mar
and woman to try a bottle at once. 1t
always cures.

A LARAMIE CASE.
Many More Like 1t in Laramie.

The following case is but one OF
many similar occurring daily in Lara
ME. 1t is an easy matter to verify its
correctness. Surely you cannot ask
for better proof than such a conciu-
sive evidence.

Front street, says: III sharp pain
across the loins especially after stoop-
ing or lifting, added to ar annoying
difficulty with The kidney secretions,
are positive signs that a mans kid
neys require the use of medicine to
correct their action then mine did. No
ticing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
as a specific for the kidneys and
knowing that they were highly recon-
mended induced me to go to the Lar
annie Drug Co.'s store for a hox. This
remedy acts directly upon the kidneys
as stated. 1t washes, purifies and gent

erexcitement or weakness disappears.

A German editor. Herr Bierman. has
been sentenced to a years imprisonr
ment for accusing Franz Ruhstratt II.
minister Of public worship, education
and justice, OF gambling and alleging
that thereby he was not fit to superin-
tend the clerical schools and courts.
Ruhstratt admitted that he played polk
er and Jolly seven" but affirmed the
games were not gambling games, and
that poker especially, being a game Of
skill, in no wise impaired his fitness
to direct the agencies Of religion, edu-
cation and Justice. The editor will
have . year in which to study into the
matter and perhaps he can bring his
mind to the belief that poker is not
. game Of chance. or at least to the
conclusion that nc ia unwise to assault
q man who holds the top hand.

Gallon should carefully consider. Aft
or AL. the most important function Of
q college Is moral. The mere infor-
nation supplied by lectures and text
0oQks' can be obtained at home; it is
q discipline. the atmosphere of cul-
lure and learning, the associations. the
traditions and historic background, the
personal influence Of professors. that
combine to give college education"
the value and utility 1t possesses. In
the familiar phrase, the mission of
the college is to encourage plain living
and high thinking.
But In every college there are stu
dents who tacitly reverse the formula
and proceed on the assumption that
the right ideal Is high living and plain
thinking. or no thinking at all and very
little work even OF the routine sort.
There are not many of these, it is true,
but II any course or practice on the
part Of parents tends to increase their
number 1t cannot be too ~persistently
discouraged.
And the Yale statistician shows that
an extravagant allowance to a student
10 . source of moral danger. Poverty
10 bad for a student; it means Of
course extra work outside and little
recreation and opportunity for assimi-
lation and reflection and beneficial as
sociations. But luxury is even worse
for the student, because 1t Is more In
sidious and demoralizing.
It Ia a truism that "as the amount
Of total expenditures increases the per-
centage. spent on necessities de-
creases.' But it is certainly disquiet,
ing to find that the wealthiest" class
Of the Yale students spend more for
drinking and smoking than for their
room REM and furniture" and that
while under pleasure the highest
(wealthiest) class spends more than
twice the proportion that the lowest
does" on music and charity the order
Is reversed.
The parent who makes too generous
an allowance for his college-attending
son does him a disservice n an IN
Jury. He exposes him to temptation
Of a kind destructive of the essential
mission of the college. The Yale pro-
lessor says that the men who take
time to spend 1897 a year on pleasure
and tobacco and in~toxicants do not
have time enough lett for their regular
work to rank high in their class" But
this is not the whole of the mischief.
nor even the greater part of it. Inc
effect on character. on mental n nor
al discipline. is OF infinitely greater
moment.
At college enough is better than a
