Mr.. Abbott es, sin duda, de los perlo-
distas americanos que han escrlto con mas
desapasionamiento de las cosas de Puerto
Rico
Su condlcion ecclesiastical y sus aflclo-
nes 4 la literature rnlstlca, nan logrado
c,.rarlc de vioenctas agreslvas, y hasta
eierto punto dc preocupacioneS contra
liosotr0s.
Con una sereniGad lie juicio d que por
}esgracia no nos tienen acostumbrados
nuestros tutores, ell director de la revlsta
"Outloock' .estudia ell problema poll
tico colonial, analiza y discute el progra-
ma de los dos partidos politicos insulares
Y Sc decide por ell unionista como mas
realizable conveniente, aunque no 10
dice, s los intereses de la metr6poli.
Esta parte del extenso articulo de Ly-
man Abbott, encontrara, sin duda, entire
la prensa politica, apasionados impugna-
lores defensores enthusiasts.
Nosotros la dejamos d la prensa que
tiene TN interes especial en- defenderla
s atacarla
AL BOLETIN le Importa mas dlrecta-
mente rectifcar una opinion del conocido
periodista americana, referente 10 eco
n6mico, cuando dice que no encontro
ningnn comerciante agricultor que tu-
viera entusiasmo por el impuesto de con-
tribucion arancelaria, puesto por los Es-
tados Unidos a los cafes extranjeros, nj
halo quien opinara que el impuesto Sc
ria de gran ventaja para Puerto Rico.
Por 10. tanto-agrega Mr.. Abbott, to
dos estaban descosos de hacer el expert
mento, 81 nosotros querlamos.
Nal enterado qued6 de nuestros de-
secs el iiustrado publicista norteamerl-
cano.
No es que los agric,ltores y los conner
ciantes no tuyieran entuslasmO pOr Ell
efecto salvador del impuesto arancelario
Con 10 que no Sc entlslasmaban, era con
Ia esperanza de que ell Congreso de Was
hington aprobase el impuesto.
Son dos cosas distintas, y POGO que
Sc file Mr. Abbott, que es inteligente, es
tara en condolences para hablar otra vez
de ese asunto con mas dominic mayor
acierto
Todo el mundo .aqui esperaba mucho
de la protection al cafe La industria,
hoy tan decalda. sc salvaria de ese modo
La gran parte del pals, toda la pobla-
cion de la altura que sufre las consecuen-
cias lamentables de esa crisis, quedaria
en- la abundancia que disfrutaba antes
de la Ocupaci6n americana.
Los hombres que mas entienden en-
la Isla de asuntos eeon6micos convoca-
ron celebraron una asamblea en- Ponce,
y aquelIa asamblea que tenia la repre-
sentaci6n autorizada de los agricultores
y los comerciantes, redact6 un admirable
mensaje dirigido los poderes Y al Con-
SACoU OC IUS 11oCdSUO OuluOO, GIL SU11CI-
tud de que Sc impusiera la tarifa protec-
tora al cafe de Puerto Rico
No es, pues, idea americana la de pro-
teger el cafe, sino idea puertorriquena,
fatalmente puertorriquena, puesto que
aqul y por mas de la mitad de la pobla-
cion de la Isla, Sc estan sintiendo los
efectos desastrosos de La falta de protec-
ci6n.
Claro esta que ell pesimsno por todos
compartido, no permitiria los que ha-
blaron con Mr.. Abbott, mostrarse entu-
siasmados con ell proyecto de la protec-
cion arancelaria para el cafe.

there is more truth than poetry, or rather

there is more truth than poetry, or rather
music, in the accusation.
According to the statement of a pro-
fessional burglar who was caught in the act
the other day, burglary does not pay and
even an industrious and painstaking
burglar can scarcely make his expenses. "
The man who made this statement is one
of the society-burglars, a regular Rallies, "
who goes on his expeditions CARRIED in
dress suit and silk hat. He explained that
it cost great deal to dress properly and
mingle with the class of people among
whom "Raffles" selects his victims.
Some of these society-burglars even use
automobiles in their professional visits.
The statements of the swell crook NAV be
correct, but there are evidently a great
many men in the burglar profession, who
are still laboring under the delusion that
they can make their business pay.
Members of secret societies will I'M
doubtedly hugely enjoy the humor of the
situation in which a certain man in this
city found himself the other day. The
man was extremely anxious to become a
Mason and paid one of his friends 81 so to
become initiated with his help, in the
Masonic Order. The would-be- Mason ac-
companied his friend to a lodge meeting
and was duly initiated. He bought
himself a Masonic emblem and was per-

It Is Done in ~MOntpelIer.

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach
the cause. Exchange the bad back
for a new and stronger one. Fol-
low the example of this Montpelier
citizen.
Burton Gale, of Montpelier, Vt,
says: 81 have used Doan's Kidney
Pills for four or five years and know
they are an excellent remedy. Ny
work requires great deal of heavy
lifting and as the result I suffered
from backache. When l took cold or
overworked, my trouble was always
aggravated and at such times 1t was
impossible for me to attend to my
duties. A friend heard me complain

public will be saved from ex-

consuming public will be saved from ex-
orbitant prices by generous harvest
,,'Evidence Of improving conditions is too
abundant and conclusive to be gainsaid
The movement has developed so rapidly
during the last three months, and now in
cludes so many lines, and has gained such
momentum that with fundamental con-
ditions all favorable a relapse is no longer
to be feared. All signs that denote rising
prosperity and all conditions precedent
are at hand. The wreckage of the panic
has been cleared away; apprehensions
which it aroused have disappeared and
our people are facing the future with s,opti-
mism and courage born of knowledge of
the wonderful resources of the country
Shelves are bare of surplus goods and the
the country has grown up to disabilities
and equipment, and noticeable decline
in cost of living may be expected, while the
farmer will make up in quantity what he
loses in price, and continue to be as good
a customer as heretofore. Trade centers
in immediate touch with the best agricul-
tural districts made very rosy reports upon
trade conditions and prospects /,
s.The Commercial Nationals correspon-
dents generally attribute the rising prices
to the growing scarcity of raw materials
and increasing wages rather than to in
huence of monopoly or new supplies of
gold, Among business men generally the
tendency to consolidation is not regarded
as threat af monopoly or influence for
higher prices, but as inevitable and usually
advantageous development. f8
Slrhe review gives much space to figures
on the cost of liveing, and concludes thus
TO July l, when it is considered that bank
credits must bear definite relation to re-
serves, and that they have been not far
from the limit most of the time, it is APP
parent that there could have been no such
expansion of business at the same prices,
but for new supplies of gold"

IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK
The Future of Coney Island-Grafting on
Municipal Machine Burglars Getting
Discouraged Masonic Signs Wouldn't
Work-An Oculist's Excessive Charges


New York, August 21:-The future of
Coney Island as a summer resort seems to
be seriously threatened by the stubborness
of the Brooklyn & Coney Island Street
Railway Company which, sustained by
the courts, insists upon charging a ten-cent
fare from Brooklyn to Concy Island or
from Coney Island to Brooklyn. For
several years the company had only
charged a five-cent fare during the week,
raising the fare to 10 cents every Sunday.
Enormous crowds were transported to and
from Coney Island then and the company
simply coined money. But, with the
greed characteristic of such corporations,
J the company decided to charge a uniform
fare of 10 cents each way not only on
| Sundays but also on weekdays. The
result of that nearsighted policy soon be-
came apparent in the marked falling off
in the number of passengers. While form
erly the cars used to be crowded, they are
scarcely half filed now, especially on week
so strongly marked
The argument used by the company was
that it could not afford to transport large
numbers of passengers at five cents heaC
between Brooklyn and Coney Island
because it cost a great deal more to trans
port large crowds than just few passen
| { nf N my
common sense understands that this
argument is absurd-just as senseless a,
the attitude of the merchant who refused
to lay in a stock of certain article which
was much in demand, because il
would sell so quickly that II e'v
supplies would have to be ordered every
few days, which was very annoying ant
troublesome. For some reason or othel
the court before which the matter wa
argued composed of the members of the
Public Service Commission, accepted the
argument of the company and declined
to interfere in behalf of the public,
In the meantime Coney Island il
rapidly going to its doom. Thousands o
persons who had made their homes il
Coney Island moved away because the,
could not or would not pay the fare.
The prevalence of grating in all branche
of the municipal machine is matter o
such general knowledge that the recen
charges of grating in connection with tn,
band concerts in the public parks does no
cause much surprise. 1t is charged tina
in several instances dummy players ar
added TO the band, for the sole purpose o
swelling the payroll. These dummies
it is charged, merely pose as musicians
but never produce a tone, knowing abso
lutely nothing about music in general o
the instruments entrusted to them il
particular. OF course the Park Com
missioners say such practice is impossible
but there is enough reliable and competen
testimony to the contrary TO Indicate tina

fectly happy in the belief that he was a
Mason. The other day he met friend
whom he knew to be a Mason and, to let
tue other man know that he too belonged
to the Order, the novice began to lgo
through all the signs and signals which he
had learned His friend merely looked at
him in surprise, but did not answer any
of the signals. The newly initiated asked
for an explanation and learned to his
dismay that his signals were not Masonic
signals and that he had not been initiated
in the Masonic Order but in some other
fraternal organization. 1t required several
days of anxious research, before the would
be-Mason learned to which order he really
belonged.
Some time ago certain doctor in this
city was consulted in the case of the rhino-
ceros at the Bronx Geological Garden,
which suffered from cataract in the right
eye. The doctor advised an operation
and the superintendent of the Zoo invited
the doctort to perform the delicate operation.
Everything went smoothly and even the
rhinoceros was satisfied. The other day,
however, the superintendent almost faint
ed when he received bill from the oculist
charging 81 900 for the operation on the
rhinoceros eyes. The superintendent con-
sidered the charge eXorbitant and refused
to pay it, whereupon the doctor threat
ened to sue for the amount of the bill. If
the matter is not amicably settled and the
oculist should file his suit, an interesting
trial may he expected. 1t will probably
become necessary to call the rhinoceros
upon the witness stand to testify as to
the condition of its right eye before and
after the operation the professional
skill of the OPERATOR etc. Even should
the doctor lose his suit, the advertising
which he has already gained and which he
will gain by the suit, will be worth great
deal more than 81 900 to him.

Evidence of Great Activity in All Branches
4 of Industry.
HChicago, Aug, 19-The Commercial Ma
tional Bank report says that spring wheat
is made and corn is practically safe. Inn
mense production of live stock is assured,
Wider dispersion''of cornsover the country
precludes low prices that formerly pre-
vailed in years of plenty. Four thousand
correspondents contribute to the summary
which says:
yields of the great cereals this year are
at bumper record. Yield of wheat per acre
was only exceeded once in recent years.
Effect of the great 'crop coming after two
years of small yields has stimulated bust
ness. 1t comes in time to replenish de-
lpleted stocks on farms, granaries, ele-
vators, mills, warehouses and stores.

be sufficient to take care of our surplus,
which will not be in excess of last year as

quantity over normal consumption. Wheat
