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 early morning hours are devoted to instructing new employees, and at this time oash girls and boys gather around the inspector’s desk, learning to measure Off goods, verify sale-slips, wrap aud tie parcels, and handle money sent to and from the cashier’s' A few firms conduct aotual school for their younger employ ees. giving instruction' in the rudi mentary branohes—reading,- writ ing, arithmetic, language and ge 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 m their establishments in Phila delphia, Chicago aud New York offer this advantage for a few hours daily, and find noth boys aud girls most appreciative stu dents. 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.

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.” .
