John Barrett, director Of the Inter-

for ship subsidization on the part Of the
United States. 1t is unreasonable Tor
any one to assume that he has any axes

Hopeful as to Cuba.

In view of. the recent sale of bonds
| y the republic of Cuba, attention mas
been again turned to the resources OF
the island republic. 1t may not have
occurred to people generally that
Cuba has just gathered her largest
sugar crop of 1,437,242 tons of 2,24O
pounds each. This item OF industrial
well being is one of the greatest assur-
credit which has enabled Cuba to sell
her. bonds at a price winch Latin
American governments generally con-
slider highly creditable.
At the present time public tranquil
Iity prevails throughout the province,
railroads have been extended, planters
have had no difficulty in getting ad-
vances of funds required for their
business, and there is said to be not a
single case of yellow fever In the
island Pessimists should therefore
rub their eyes again and look at the
Cuban situation before they doubt the
sister republics chances OF working
out the problem of self government on
ner own account.
Among the main forces that make
for support of government and order
are the merchants. manufacturers ana
planters, all of which are said TO De
offering their cooperation to the pow
ers that be. The greater part of the
press is working with the governmental
party, party unity is more general than
heretofore, and the municipalities are
no doubt more in harmony with the
general government than probably at
any time since Cuba cut loose from
Spain.
But with all these helps there is still
lacking much of that measure OF toler-
ance in political feeling and thought,
and of that degree Of catholicity ana
confidence which is necessary to pre-
vent hasty conclusions and impetueus
action. Cuba has a population OF
somewhat more than 100000 1nhab-
itants, or about as many as the state
of Wisconsin. Its area is little
larger than that of Pennsylvania, but
its problems are so utterly different
from those of an American common
, wealth in the United States that COM
parsons of this class avail little. Self
government is an individual as well as
a political problem, and the collective
result is never guaranteed until the
personal product is delivered.-Re-

The forward march of civilization

the settlements. This state of AFFAIRS
s to be expected and the wonder is
that the situation has not become
more acute long ago. It is remarkable
that the business has continued profit

History has repeated itself in this as
IN all other things. The advance guard
of civilization was years behind class
IF hardy trapperS. who earned their
livelihood in the solitude of the forests
by taking animals for their furs. AS
civilization advanced the number Of
+rappers became larger and the amounf
of game diminished, until there was no
longer a profit to be had from the
Massachusetts, and continued to the
westward until the United States was
no longer tenable for the trapper. The
Hudson Bay company preserved the
frozen north of Canada for half CEN

to be a profitable hunting ground. but
the onward march of the railroads ana
the ever restless wave OF homeseekers
has at last advanced to the very out
posts of the Hudson Bay territory.

Fortunes In Fig Trees.

What do you suppose the people OF
my section have gone wild about, as
means of matchmaking? asked Mr..
Huntley G. Gravely, of Galveston, at
the Stafford.
"Ffgs-notking but figs. Men. women,
and children have been seized with the
mania for planting and growing hgs,
and pretty coon big part of south
Texas will be a huge garden for .his
most luscious fruit. But the folk en-
gaging in this business are not in 1t
for their health, nor yet for the fun OF
having the lovely foliage of the fig
tree. It is a matter of general notor1ety
that no better paying crop can be cul-
tivated. On single acre 100 trees can
be grown that will come into bearing at
8 years old. Each tree will yield at
minimum bushel of dgs that the pre-
serving factories will contract for. N
advance, at $50 a bushel. A revenue
of $27O an acre on land that car be
bought for 500 an acre is enough to
make people enthusiastic. "-Baltir1ore

McHARG SHOWS CLEMENCY.
Boy Detained Mt Ellis Island MAY
Enter United states.

Eleven-year-old Bertil Malmgren. who
was detained at Ellis Island on June 2s
on the ground that he was mentally de-
flCient, and for whom an order OF de-
portation was issued, will be allowed 70
enter this country. The boy is a son of
Nels Maimgren. a cabinetmaker Of st.
Paul, MINI.
Malmgren came TO this country from
Sweden some time ago, and early in
June sent for his wife and four children.
When they arrived at Ellis Island the
child was ordered excluded as an I'm
beetle His return meant the deportation
Of his mother and probably some OF the
other children. The father and the moth
er both claimed that he was mentally
sound: that the only trouble with him
was that he was badly tongue tied, and
that this could be cured by medical treat
ment
Considerable sympathy was aroused IN
behalf OF the lad and family. and when
the case came to Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor McHarg on appeal
yesterday, ne decided to cancel the order
OF deportation so as to permit the lad 20
be landed for medical treatment The
father furnished a bond of $1,000 that the
boy would not become a public charge,
which IS the usual procedure in such
cases.
