HAVANA. Sept. 29.-Among men
whose investments would be
doubled or quadrupled in value
there is naturally loud assertion
that Cuban self government is a
failure. That Is, that government
without revolutions is impossible.
A surprising feature of the situa-
zion is the large number of men.
apparently without selfish interest,
who take the same view of the mat
ter. Not all OF them assign the
same reason. but they reach the
same conclusion.
Temperament, habit. greed and
limited experience in self govern
ment are some of the rasons given.
They haven't any conception of
popular government" says an
American who has lived here for
years.
During all the years of Spanish
oppression the only object man
had in getting Office was to advance
his own, generally his financial in
terest. The only way the people
could protest against tyranny was
to get out and fight Law and JUS
tice, during Spanish rule, were held
in light regard or no regard at all.
80 it happens that too many
people here are liable to overstep
the law in advancing their inter
ests as office holders or protesting
against injustice as citizens. They

DOWN ON THE OLD FARM

We see by an eastern paper that
the American farmer has become
mOdernized and that the Oh fash
toned life, with the romance and
feather beds and bucolic pleasures,
is passing away.
The man who penned hat state
ment is a lusty liar.

l reached the beautiful old home,
IN its rustic setting, at the late
hour of s, and of course found the
family in bed. Uncle Eod drove
the dog away with an ak helve and
said he supposed" I'd had supper
and escorted me to the little room
where l was soon smotnered in

After that the whole family ad-

had escaped through the fence and
were on the railroad track, and
learned some Of the most original
cuss words that ever came from
the lips Of a man who believes
that tooth brushes are a luxury
only for the rich.
Then we came back to the barn,
and there, while we were scrapping
the horse and mending the barn
pump, Uncle Hold gave me his
views of William Jennings Bryan
and H. H. Rogers. We decided that
Bill shCuld be tarred and feathered
because of his political faith, and
Rogers should be boiled in oil be-
cause he has money.

FOSTERS NEW CHINESE BILL

A bill was introduced in the House OF
Representatives by Foster, of Vermont,
makes radical and dangerous changes in
the Chinese Exclusion law. Its chief
provisions are summed up as follows:
1t reverses the present policy of Chi
nese exclusion by admitting all Chinese
persons other han laborers, and defines
the words laborer and laborersin u a
way as to embrace only certain classes
Of labor, and provides for the admission
of all persons other than labOrers upon
the presentation of a passport or certifi-
cate issued by the official duly authocized
by the Government of China.
Congressman Hayes, OF California, has
denounced this measure as cunningly
contrived to open the doors to Chinese
immigration. The Sacramento Bee says:
Chinese officials are VIGOROUSLY corrupt,
and to admit Cinnamon on certificates
from representatives of their own gov
eminent would put a premium upon
Asiatic graft and result in a flood of
Coolie immigration.
Cv0u II IL WCIC HhlC W uOPChU oPOh
the honesty Of Chinese officials. our
Government should not abdicate it's
rights in any such fashion. The power
to discriminate between the privileged
classes of the Chinese and the coolies
should be reposed solely in United
States Consuls and immigration agents.
The Pacific Coast has no objection to
such notifications of existing laws and
regulations as may be needful to relieve
Chinese professional men, merchants,
students and travellers from needless
a~nnoyances and restrictions. But it
does strongly oppose any attempt to let
down the bars, whole or in part, to
Chinese labor, under the guise of cour-
tesy to China, and through the desire
of Eastern manufacturers and NOR
chants to sell a few more bolts OF calico
or kegs of nails in the Flowery King
dom.
