Cuba’s Future is Very Dark.
ing towns, who said he had re-
u .. —lib iia,u re
cently received a letter from a
V? nnA g ° merchan t saying that
14,000 meu were out of work in
that city. In the course of a con
versation the major declared that
he was firm in his belief that an
nexation was the only remedy for
the gloomy conditions now preva
lent in the island. As builders of
a republic, the major entertains a
very poor opinion of the Cubans,
saying they are a,t present in the
condition of a kindergarten with
out a teacher.
, Aer an example of the disaffec
tion among the laboring people,
ho showed a letter written in Sep
tember by Mr. J. K. Elwell, pres
ident of one of the largest mer
cantile companies in Cuba, in
which that gentleman said: “A
large number of men employed by
the municipality have not been
paid for several months, and they
want to know why it is the Cuban
government is without funds when
the Yankees always had monev to.
burn?”
In discussing sanitary condi
tions, Maj. Barbour said the Cu
ban authorities were relaxing
their vigilance in that direction
every day, and he could not but
see a return to the deplorable
state existing under the Spanish
regime. Senor Meana, a promi
nent planter of Santiago prov
ince, wrote to the major a short
time ago asserting that since the
municipality of Santiago had
charge of sanitary conditions the
work had been steadily on the de
cline, and from the writer’s view,
it will be only a short time until
the, work would otase altogether.
“How soon it was,” added the
senor pathetically, “when we be
gan to miss the Americans.”
“The Cubans are a most im
practicable lot of people,” fe-
marked Major Barbour, “and ev
ery one of them has a different
idea of what constitutes a repub-
lie, each man believing himself
right and his fellows wrong. They
are a unit on one point, however;
they think the basic principle of
a republic is to provide every citi
zen with a job at. a large salary,
with very little work.
“There is no doubt in my mind,
however,” lie continued, “that
the land conditions in Cuba are
responsible for the unsettled con
ditions there. Most of the land
is controlled by absentee Spanish
landlords, and if this property
was divided up into small hold
ings it would work a wonderful
change in the Cuban people. In
this direction I favor the sugges
tion made by Representative New-
lands that such a step be taken,
and we should have the same hap
py result that was obtained in
Ireland when the English govern
ment instituted such a procedure,
granting small holdings to the
Irish tenants on long time.at a
low rate of interest.”
Maj. Barbour said when Rep
resentative Newlands introduced
his resolutions in the house of
representatives inviting Cuba to
become a part of the United
States, it resulted in a division
of sentiment in the island. “On
one side,” explained the major,
“we had the politicians and a
large negro following bitterly
against annexation, while the
men of property, the real busi
ness element of the island* heart
ily favored it,' for they are abso
lutely without faith in the sta
bility of the Cuban republic. As
for the negroes, ignorant and su
perstitious as they are, the poli
ticians prey oil their credulity, in
telling them that annexation!
meant nothing, but slavery for
them, terrorising them with sto
ries of negro lynchings in the
United States.” ; .
That the present administra
tion of Cuba, with a few excep
tions; is a collection of hungry
politicians, is Maj. Barbour’s be
lief.
In a large number of stores the

A few firms conduct aotual
school for their younger employ
ees. giving instruction' in the rudi
mentary branohes—reading,- writ

ography—thus taking the place of
night-schools for their girls and
boys employed in the cash depart
ment or the stock-rooms. A num
ber of well-known New-York firms

If an employee-is detained at
home by illness or a death in his
family, a statement to this effect
in writing must be sent immedi
ately to the office. , Failure to
comply with this rule means that
the delinguent will be hauled be
fore the superintendent on his le
turn to duty, and an explanation
will be demanded.
Many firms issue to each em
ployee regular statements of the
latter’s standing, showing how
his sales compare with others in
his department or class. These
are much like report-cards at
school. V
If an employee is taken i.U while
at work, he reports to his floor
walker, and is released, the time
lost being deducted from his pay-
check. An exception to this gen
eral rule may be noted at one of
the mammoth New York stores,
where the firm and the Employees’
Association have jointly estab
lished what is known as the sick
room. An employee temporarily
indisposed may report to the phy
sician in charge, and if a brief
rest and the administration of
simple remedies prove efficacious
he takes possession of one of the
comfortable cots provided for this
this purpose, and returns to his
duties when able. He does not
lose this time. If the physician
pronounces him unable to work,
lie is supplied with medicine and
ordered home, his pay being dock
ed in the usual way. Medical at
tention and- prescriptions are gra
tis in either case.—Anna S. Rich

Origin of‘'Watered Stock.”

—
Slops Hie Cough and Works off
the Cold.
The expression “watered stock”
which describes so well the expan
sion of the stock of a company
beyond the value of the property,
originated, it is said, in connec
tion with Daniel Drew, who was
once the wealthiest and most
unique manipulator in Wall street.
Drew had been a drover in his
younger days and it was . said of
him that before selling his cattle
in the market he would first give
them large quantities of salt to
make them thirsty and then pro
vide them with all the water they
could drink. In this way their
weight was greatly increased and
the purchaser was buying “wa
tered stock.” .
