Ell senior Coll Y Cuchi ha dado CO.
nocer el medic de que sc vaIi6 para To-
grar m turno en- la velada parlamenta-
ria celebrada en- Cadiz, con motive de
las festas del Centenario de las Cor
teS
Adujo la raz6n de que habiendo SidO
ell puertorriqueno don Ramon de Po-
wer vicepresidente de dichas COrtes, EN-
las cuales Sc le guerra Sc le admiraba
por sus valiosos servicios, era justo que
ell representante de Puerto Rico 10 en-
comiase Ell la forma debida en- aquel
solemne acto.
\ ell turnO, un turnO de solo Seis que
habfan de consUmirse durante la noche.
y los cualeS aSpiraban mas de tres
cientos hombres ilustres, le fu6 conce-
dido.
Acto seguid0, nuestrO Representative
sc recluy6 en- su habitaci6n durante al
gunas horas con el fin de estudiar los
hechOs mas gloriosos de aquel insigne
hombre que llev0 su amor 4 la patria
hasta perder la vida por ella. Hoje6

para hacer un discursO; pero una vez
que lego la hOra de la velada Y entr6
en- ell Gran Teatro, radiante de luz de
p1blico, tendi6 la vista y solamente ha-
ll6 las banderas de las naciones indie.
pendientes de America decorandolo, v
fue entonces que sinti6 el deseo Y la ne
cesidad de traicionarse ST mismo, en-
vez de hablar de Power, del ilustre pa.
triota cuya ejecutoria es de todos como
cida, habl6 de Puerto Rico, de su ver-
dadera situaci6n polftica. pidiendo al
mundo americana ALI presente, en- nom.
bre de la hidalgula espa1ola que todos
habian recibidO de la madre patria. no
abandonasen al pueblo hermano en este
momento hist6rico Ell que lucha por su
libertad polftica y economical.
Nuestros lectores han visto, pues, CO.
mo ell ilustre Power despues de un si-
gIo de muerto, ha venido prestarle un
valiosisimo servicio q su patria, porque
ell discurso de nuestro rcpresentante en-
Cadiz ha de traernos favorables result

La forma en- que ha de ser presentado
ell bill del az1car es desconocida a1n,
porque hasta junio, probablemente, no
Sc ha de llevar al parlamento esta, para
nosotros, tan importante question
Como va Sc ha dicho, ell parlamento
ira conociendo partida por partida,
puesto que el trabajo de revision de la
tarifa Sc hara de un modo fragmentario
y al azicar no lie tocara ell turno hasta
mediados de session; pero ha circulado
un rumor sin que Sc sepa de d6nde sale,
que supone para los intereses puertorri-
quenos tan cOmprOmetidOs, una esperan-
"a, y qUiero acogerlo en- esta cr0nica
para conocimiento de mis- lectores que
han de estar seguramente interesados en-
saber cuanto al particular sc refera.
Sc dice que seran fjados los derechos
del azucar en- un centav0 pOr libra Ell
ell nuevo arancel, y 81 ESQ es as1, 10 que
vendran perdiendo nuestros azucareros
de la prima que ahora disfrutan Sera
un cuarenta y cinco por ciento. Sen
sible es la rebaja, pero del mal el menos,
que dice ell viejo refran. Los azucare-
ros de aqu1 no abandOnan por ESQ La
campana y haran en- ambas Camaras to-
dos los esfuerzos imaginables para ate
nuar Ell 10 que sea possible ell perjuicio
que Sc les quiere hacer Las esperan-
Zas de los productores de aztlcar no es-
tan en- ell Congreso que, como Sc sabe,
pasara toda reforma que en- sentido ra-
dical~ Sc someta a su sanction, pero ell
Senado que representa- una tendencia
mas conservadora, acaso modifque, en-
ell sentido va indicado, la legislation de
la Camara baja, 81 como fuera de desear
hallan eco en- ell poderoso ORGANISING le-
gislativo las reclamaciones de los azuca-
rerOS.
Toda Legislation que no obedezca q
tln plan armonizador de los intereses
puestos en- conficto y que no Sc base
en- una modification gradual que deje a
los azucareros un plazo prudential de
tempo para ir poniendo la amenazada
industria cubierto de la bancarrota
que sobre ella Sc cierne, sera una insen-
satez y un desprop6sito.
Por ESQ, y aunque ell rumor de que
me hago eco no Sc dice que tenga un
conocido origen, aunque alguien 10 cree
lanzado por ell propio Mr.. Underwood,
es tan natural 10 que promote que 81
hemos de Greer en- ell buen sentido de
estos legislatures no parecera excessive
optimismo ell que esperemos su confrna-
ci0n.

las cosas, porque va dispuesto en- tai

no serla tan dificil como al presente pa

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Favorable Conditions in the Cotton
Belt-Corn Making Good Progress.

New Orleans Picayune May 26
The weather during the past week
has been, on the whole, favorable III
The cotton belt. The drouth that was
complained of i'll the eastern por-
ton has been relieved by good rains
which have fallen lnopractlcally eV-
cry partaOf the East Gulf and South
Atlantic States. In the central and
western districts the weather has
been very good, with the exception
of rather cool spell at the close of
the week, which may temporarily
tetard the growth Of the crop.
While from most of the eastern
states there are complaints of the
crop being backward. there is really
no ground for fearing that, with
good weather from now on all back
WardnesS may not be made. In the
Mississippi valley the crop is max
ing excellent progress, and even Ill
the overlooked districts planting is
III progress, as the water has now
practically run off. As usual at this
lime OF the year. there is much dis
Cussion on the acreage problem. 1t
is generally admitted that the final
returns of acreage will show an in
crease, but private estimates so far
made public put the per cent of in
crease lower than generally eX-
pected.
The corn crop is making good
progress all over the South, and a
full yield is now looked forward to.
Rice is doing we'll, although lack of
sufficient rain was complained of
until within the last day or two. The
sugar crop is promising all over the
sugar district of Louisiana. There
was come complaint of insufficient
rain from some points, but the fine
rains of the latter part of the week
has removed this trouble.

Some Shots at the Liquor Traffic by
Lewis II. Horton.

If the men who vote for the sa-
looms had to furnish the boys TO fill
them, every town would 90 dry.
Some men think that he only Wa
to preserve their youthful Nlgor 4
to keep it aickIed in alcohol
For every $3.50 of saIoos license
money paid, one boy must learn to
drink liquor.
The wcttesl dry" town is driel
than the drycst wet" town.
ANY law looks blue to the man
who wants to break it.
The saloon is ashamed of its best
customers.
What is the only thing in the
world that will make a father pawn
his baby's shoes? .
Saloons help just one business
and that is the saloon business.
The family income is cut off at
both ends when the father drinks
he spends more and can not earn
as much.
Suppose the saloon could change
a man in twenty minutes as it does
in twenty years. what then?
Prohibition does not make law
breakers. it simply reveals them.
