Cuba is close to bankruptcy, and
a crisis in the affairs of the island is
near at hand. The total estimated
revenues are twenty-four millions
and the appropriations fixei by the
official budget amount to thirty mill
ions OF dollars. The reasons for this
vast expenditure are charged to
enormously increased expenses, due
in great measure to the cost of
equipment and pay OF the new per-
manent army, the cost of the ma
tional legislature and the vastly in
tonal legislature and the vastly in
creased number of civil employee
arising from political pressure for
Offices"
The same Identical causes have
brought about the burdeasome tax

threaten the state treasury with an
enormous deficiency. When the

FOR HIS MOTHERS SAKE WE
FORBEAR.

The following tribute to the mem
DRY OF Henry III. Rogers, the builder
OF the Virginia Railway whose death
occurred last week. will be read with
interest because OF the beauty OF
the sentiment. 1t is from the Allan
ia Georgian:
Opinions will be at war for some
time in regard to the claims OF Hen
ry II. Rogers TO the admiration of
his fellow countrymen.
For, while he belongs H. the cat
egory of Industrial maglates. il was
in organizing the most colossal trust
of the century that he brought his
Napoleonic powers of financing iato
full play; AMI the commodity which
he was largely instrumental in cor
nerinG was the illuminating oil
which burns in the window of the
poor mans cottage and lights his
little children to bed.
1t may be that he hoped to accom-
plish by means OF this combination
the largest measure of ultimate
good.
We cannot lay bare the secret of
his great brain. But, while crit
icism is silent for the moment in
sight OF the open grave of this eX-
traordinary man, it implies no re-
linquishment of the peoples cause
10 speak for him an impulsive word
of kindness.
Even in the heart OF the most
obdurate man among us there are
enough OF the gentler AMI softer
elements of human nature to make
the eye Of some comrade grow moist
and his lips culver when the sable
wings are poised above him.
1t is easy enough to say harsh
things OF Henry II. Rogers. He may
deserve the bitterest excoriation.
But underneath the mass of iron
and flint, let us look for the velvet.
The genial humorist, Mark Twain
was the bosom friend of this man:
y
strength OF attachment.
And at the funeral ceremonies in
New York the aged DR.. Colyer, who
for years had touched elbows with
him, could hardly speak for the GRIEF
which convulsed his frame and
choked his utterance.
Said he:
Il think / am most sensitive to
uncouth speech. But have searched
my memory in vain for one coarse or
profane word from him. No such
word ever passed his lips.
He said to me once: Il think
the memory Of my mother waiting
for me when j came home is the
sweetest memory Of my life | had
noticed that he absented himself
from services on certain Sundays in
each month and / asked him once
why he remained away ani he re-
piled: L went to Fair Haven to see
my mother. I never allow month
to pass without visiting her"
How many shortcomings in the
life OF the great magnate may this
single trait of HIS character re-
deem?
For, the man who eashrines in his
heart OF hearts the withered face
OF his old mother is not Nero.
And while others may prefer to
recount the misery and suffering
which he has caused by MS greed of
gain, we are for the time being dis
armed by this exhibition of mother
love.
Perhaps tomorrow, when the dew
Is no longer on the garland, we may
be free to criticise him; but today
we can not resist the subtle fra
GRANGE OF this simple flower.

ROOSEVELT SHOWS EN-.
Rides Ninety Eight Miles on Horse
back in Less Than IS Hours.

Washington Jan. 10. - President
Roosevelt rode ninety-eight miles on
horseback one day this week. and when
he dismounted at night at the White
House door. more than seventeen hours
after having departed therefrom he did
not show any marked signs of weari-
ness.
The object of his long day in the sad
die. he explained after his return was
to prove to the critics who have found
fault with the recent order recurring all
army and navy officers to take a physi-
cal test, that if president, Who is not
in training, can ride ninety miles plus
in one day without being laid up in
bed thereby, it should not be too much
to ask men who are supposed to be in
the best of physical training all the
time to ride ninety miles in three
days"
Mounting his faithful rider and
jumper Roswell, in front of the White
House door at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing, he dismounted at the same place
at $40 o'clock at night. The journey
was to Warrenton, Va, and back.
And Virginia roads in the winter
time" said the president ARE not US
ually in the best condition" With the
president were DR.. Rixey, surgeon gen
eral of the navy: DR.. Carey Grayson
and Captain Archibald Butt, one of the
presidents aids.
On the return trip the last thirty
miles of the journey were made in sleet
and rain, while the last fifteen miles
were in almost pitch darkness. Arriv-
ing at the aqueduct bridge across the
Potomac. the president refused to take
the carriage which was waiting there
for him. When he dismounted his coat
and hat were frozen stiff with sleet and
ice There were four relays of horses,
the first stage of the journey out and
the last in being made by the president
on Roswell the second out and the
third in being on Georgia, while the
other two were on army horses which
the president had never before mount
