jfAftVAKD WTLM1NUTUI. JS. C. SATFBDAT MOBHIHfl. MABCH 1. A FLEA FOR CUBA. Gen. Wood, Military Governor of Cuba, has been and is one of the strongest advocates of fairplay to Cuba, and of maintaining our plight ed faith to the people of that island, Who trusted us and had. confidence in our justice and generosity. If there be any man who can speak with authority both for Cuba and the United States Gen. Wood is that man, because as military Gov ernor he has become perfectly fa miliar with the conditions on that island. As a representative of this Government he took an important part in all the steps that have led to the reorganization of government in Cuba, had a potent influence on the action of her constitutional con vention and was one of the princi pal agencies in securing an accept ance of the Piatt amendment to the Cuban Constitution and therefore when he virtually asserts that it was the assurance felt that the island would be liberally dealt with that secured compliance with our de mands he may be presumed to speak from what he knows. Ever since Congress have been haggling over concessions to be made when if a test were made met they the tarifi to Cuba, by ballot probably eight voters out of ten throughout this country would be in favor of fair trade if not absolute free trade with that island. For weeks the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representa tives sat and heard the testimony of interested men who were' opposed to reciprocity with Cuba or who favor ed it, and at the end of this testimony-taking that committee was in no better position to act than it was before it began., because it wasn't what was best to be done that it was seeking but what what could be done to have the appearance of conces sions to Cuba without affecting the protected, interests which protest and howl against any concessions that might in any way conflict with their particular industries. As an American entrusted with a responsible position as the represent ative of this government in Cuba and by virtue of his office tha mid dleman, so to speak, between the United States and Cuba, General Wood with the knowledge and con sent, if not. upon the suggestion of this government, encouraged the Cubans to believe that liberal trade concessions would be made to them, and in this he doubtless went as far as he could go without absolute ly promising specific concessions, and he no doubt feels both embar rassment and disgust at the tardiness shown and the haggling over keep ing pledges extended or implied without, protracted debate or dis honest shirking. In the Atlanta Constitution of Wednesday there is a letter from him, which is such a strong and manly plea for Cuba and covers the case so well that we reproduce it here: "Hkadqcarters Military Gov ernor. Island or Cuba, Havana, February 20, 1902 Tne claims of Cuba are just. No one has been able, up to this date, to show that a rea sonable redaction of the duties on Cuban products will jeopardize the sugar industry in the United States. "Our consumption has increased more rapidly than our production. We produce in the United States proper a little more than one-fifth of our consumption, and it is largely for the protection of this fractional part of our consumption that the entire people pay the price of $0.1 68-100 per pound on the sugar which tbey use. " Juba has accepted the Piatt amend ment. She is largely dependent upon us and accepted our protection in good faith, believing that she would be dealt with justly and liberally. The United States is the only market for her sugar and one of the principal markets for her tobacco. "We are in every way interested in her development. We cannot permit a foreign power to occupy her terri tory. We must as a measure of self protection, maintain her sanitary con ditions and we must maintain order in the island. "With the destruction of her sugar and tobacco industries, especially the former, which a continuance of the present condition will soon bring about, we shall have an army or idle people in Cuba, without work and without money, and this hungry ele ment is apt to be lawless. "Sanitation cannot be kept up; there will be insufficient funds for schools or public works. Normal conditions will have to be re-established or the thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars we have spent will have been largely without permanent results, and we shall be called upon to do over again the work which we have already done. "With reasonable tariff reductions Cuba's trade, .now of seventy million dollars, will soon be worth one hun dred to one hundred and fifty millions, and with a reciprocity agreement be tween the two countries, four-fifths of this trade -will come to us. "Cuba will furnish an excellent market for the rice of our Southern States; the great bulk of her food-stuffs comes from us ; her cotton goods,shoes, . building materials On the way of lum bers, iron, steel, hard-finished brick, etc.) are, or can be, supplied by us. "In short, we have at our doors a most valuable market, waiting only intelligent development a market which it would seem any country, de voted to the development of its com mercial interests, would jump at the opportunity of obtaining; and, in as much as it is a country we are bound to Protect, for we should seriously ob- h7e "yhody else occupy it, it hould do what we ca" to develop it and make it a good place tor capital and JmInM. rJUTZr.Tr8 ' to come to. and -TtT. rVtf""" SS7.7aportin' industrious people, capable, incase of necessity, of defending the land th country which will show forever the BY B.

"The Cuban people have been order ly, kindly and law-abiding and have done all they could to build up their industries, but they cannot continue under existing tariff conditions. He might have written a book and he could not have presented Cuba's case more forcibly or convincingly than he has done in this brief but comprehensive plea for justice and for the keeping of our plighted faith. It is a plea not only for justice to Cuba, but a plea for the people of the United States who are plundered to benefit protected monopolies and a plea for the honor and good name of the American people, both of which are tarnished by yielding to the selfishness of the protected in terests. Why should Cuba be sac rificed, the American people be rob bed, and the honor of this Govern ment'be smirched, to pander to the greed of the Sugar Trust, the beet and cane sugar makers, the tropical fruit growers and the Connecticut tobacco growers, all of whom have had protection long enough to be able to stand alone, if they ever will? -If it was not for the political pull these protected interests hve re ciprocity with Cuba would have been accomplished without the formality of debate. "SENDING COALS TO NEW CASTLE." This country has been sending coals to Newcastle for some time, but we were not aware of the fact until we read the following, which we clip from the Savannah Neics, that Northern florists have been doing a larga and profitable business ship ping flowers in Winter to the land of flowers, when it onght to be just the reverse. We publish the extract as a matter of interest, and because it may put some of our people to think ing and stimulate an industry that ought to be more profitable down here than in the North: "The Philadelphia Times the other day printed a page illustrated article on 'Winter Luxuries that Cost Small Fortunes.' Two of the pictures should be of especial interest to persons in this section of the country. One pic ture shows a Philadelphia nonst pack ing blooms 'for the 8outb,V and the other one snows the nonst arranging white lilacs to be shipped to Flori da.' The idea of sending flowers to Florida seems quite as para doxical as -sending coals to New castle, yet the Times says that the florists of Philadelphia do a flourishing business with the South and especially with Florida. Violets are in great demand, it is said, and sell in Florida at prices ranging from $3 to $10 per bunch, according to the variety. Liilies of the -valley are said to be 'very popular with the belles of Florida,' and are grown in Philadelphia and shipped South. A bunch of them 'about the correct size for milady to carry to the ball' costs about 135. The demand for Northern hot house roses is very large, and good blooms readily fetch as much as 5 each. Practically throughout the Winter Philadelphia sends weekly and often daily ship ments of flowers to the Florida Winter resorts. The sum of money that changes hands during the run of a season, for flowers at fancy prices. must be very considerable. "Why doesn't Florida raise her own flowers! It certainly isn't because she cannot do it. She ought to be able to beat Philadelphia or any other North ern cityin the business, and at a lower cost. In the North hothouses must be kept heated during the long cold months. In Florida there would be comparatively few days when artifi cial heat would be required. If, with neavy coal bills, the Philadelphia flor ists find profit in raising flowers for shipment to Florida, florists in Florida ought to find a great deal more profit in raising flowers not only for home consumption, but for shipment North. Evidently Fiondians are not utilizing to the fullest extent their .opportunity for making money out of their North ern visitors." "Why doesn't Florida raise her own flowers?" the News asks. The same question might with equal pertinence be asked of any other Southern State, for theie is not one of them which is not better , adapted to flower culture than any Northern State is, and not one of them in which flowers cannot be grown in Winter at far less cost than in the North. The fact is that this is an industry which has been almost en tirely overlooked in the South. The few who have engaged in it in a small way have found it profitable, although the trade has been almost exclusively a local one. Of course it would take time, patience and perseverance to build up the bnsi ness of raising flowers for Northern markets1, but it can be done. Andrew Carnegie has been ac cused of larceny, with stealing the epitaph which he would prefer, -from something that was said about the grandfather of the present. Emperor of Germany, of whom it was said tnac his greatness consisted in "surrounding himself with men greater than he was." That is about what Carnegie said of 4um self, but he didn't claim to have been the originator of that phrase ology." Mrs. Bunnell, who lives near Salt Lake City, could ran a little village of her own. She is 92 years old and when her seven living children, seventy three grand children, one hundred and thirty-five great grand children and four g-g-g-children axe gathered around her she can count 219. .Forjvvnooping Ooiigh use OHEfiEY'S EX- Vor sal toy Hardin's Palace PbarmaotJI LETTING TEEM DOWN EAST. The Republican Senators have done the sensible thing in deciding to wind up the Tulman-MoLaurin fracas wish a reprimand, as that was about all they could do. I his isn't altogether to the liking of some of them who would prefer to have put the screws on Tillman anyway, but they could not very well make a distinction, and inflict any severer punishment on him than on Mc- Laurin. Thev were really forced to adopt the milder method because they could not do otherwise without provoking opposition that would lead to pro tracted debate and a wrangle that would be simply adding to the al ready disreputable situation. If the conditions were such that they could havo expelled Tillman, and they could have commanded the necessary number of votes, some of them would have jumped at that and seized the opportunity to get out of that pitchfork, but they couldn't and therefore the pitchfork will remain, although the proba bilities are that it will not be brandished as frequently or as persistently as heretofore. It is to be hoped that the course adopted will put a quietus on that incident, of which the country has already had more than enough. Mrs. Snow, of California, has struck oil in Texas without boring for it. She has won a suit in the Federal Court of Appeals for an eighteenth interest in the richest part of the Beaumont field, on which there are 120 wells. Some of the companies compromised with her, and now the others will have to pay her a royalty, which will amount to $5,000 a month. CURRENT COMMENT. We thought from the first that Senator Tillman's apology was adding insult to injury, as far as South Carolina was concerned. And the ionrnals of our sister state seem to be taking the same view.

Mr. Crump, of Michigan, died hhont one vear ago. but the de layed announcement of his death to the United States Senate emphasizes the fact that there are times when much embarassment can be sayed by not being in too much of a harry in such matters. Washington Post, Ind. After President Roosevelt's decision in the matter of Schley's appeal, there is room for a little curiosity with regard to the official reason for dismissing Maclav. The gravamen of Maclay's offence, as we have understood it, was in calling Admiral Schlev a coward. Mr. Roose velt nnmistakablv insinuates the same thing.

The Democrats in the Senate might have voted for the Foraker amendment reducing the proposed tariff on Philippine imports to 25 per cent, of the Dingley tariff rates if such a vote would not nave com mitted them to the assertion of the right to levy import taxes on goods sent from one part of the country to another part.

While Mr. Poland was sitting on the counter and was in tbe act of lighting a dear Bone sud denly rushed upon him striking him a terrific blow on the left side of the head with a quart bottle about two thirds full of whiskey. The glass and whiskey flew all over the store and Mr. Baker, who was standing near Poland, received a drenching and was also hit by flying glass. Mr. J. B.

Tolatol In Old Ace. If half the charges made against Count Tolstoi by the holy synod of Russia be true, he has surely lost the simplicity of faith and the rock bottom certainty of religious belief that were shown In his writings of a few years ago. The great Russian writer, now seventy-two years of age and in poor health, bears the "boycott" of the church with calmness and tranquillity of mind. He is now at work on a new novel the story of the transformation of a beautiful butterfly of the world into a useful member of society, awakened to the realization of the dignity, privilege and majesty of real living. The book, which promises to be a strong one, seems to illustrate Tolstoi's two seem ingly paradoxic ideals that every one should do everything possible for him self and that every one should help his fellow man with his work or even do it for him, unquestionably if need be. All of Tolstoi's manuscripts when finished are rewritten by the countess or his daughters. This fresh copy is soon scored with corrections, sentences are cut out and new ones substituted; interlineations seem to form as much matter as the original draft, the cor rections hang over tbe margins and are often connected by long lines with the phrases they amend. Ink of a different color adds to the seeming chaos. Final ly a third copy is made, which is then "tried" on a few faithful friends. Then, when It returns from the pririler, Tol stoi begins to revise his proof as if it were original copy. Ledger Monthly. Sstflabvirr May Be Removed.

By Telegraph to the Morning star New York, Feb. 28 The cotton market opened steady with prices one to four points higher and for the rest of the session exhibited a pronounced disposition to work still higher on real merits. The room for a time around the opening was against the initial rise though not openly antag onistic Heavy port receipts, prospect of an enormous "in sight" movement for the week and scarcity of orders from the South combined to increase belief that the advance was but a momentary matter and would soon be followed by another flattening out under- the customary realizing and bear selling. But the opening figures proved to be lowest of the session for substantial new buying chiefly from Wall street and persistent support from room bulls heM the mar ket steady throughout the critical first hour after which legitimate influences easily gave the market a sound foot ing. Reports that exporters and domes tic spinners were once more urgently bidding for spot cotton in the South where prices were up 1 16c to &c on slim offerings did much to stimulate the bull support. Ru mors of a nearby further advance in print cloths andjpredictions for a very light March "in sight" movement were prominent influences early in the af ternoon. The market was finally firm and net 10 to 12 points higher and sentiment very bullish. ! Nw York, Feb. 28.
