thecabinet are mefflrers also of the house of commons. One fea ture of the English legislative body might be introduced with advantage into our legislatures—state and national. This is what is called “question time.” Any member of the house can publicly ask a cabinet minister any question he wants answered that pertains,to the minister’s department, and the minister is obliged to answer. The questions are printed and the eyes of every mem -1 her. The ministers are thus subjected pto cross examinations that must have a wholesome effect on the government at times. Unlike our representativesagain, mem bers of the British house have no desks before them.

The re- itlC CIVI BVllt UAL. lilt; I the revolutions, asl thelittle insurrections that constantly spring up in the majority of the cases orig inate here —a desolate enough place too. Mangrove swamps encompass the bay and are infested with herons. The tide falling discloses the black mud and oysters cling ing to the roots of the trees. Alligators are found in the depths, and during the rainy season mosquitoes swarm by millions. Eight miles inland is a range of mountains very thickly wooded. At the entrance to the bay, crowning a hill, are the remains of a fort which is rarely occupied. But at the lower end of the bay, squatting, as it may be, on the edge of the swamp in the midst of buzzing mosquitoes and squawking herons, is a dock and shed where military can always be seen. Five miles inland are some bar racks where the officers live. A more dis agreeable place to be sent to is hard to imagine. The poor, ignorant people who eke out an existence in the region seem incapable of mischief. No one would think that this is the most dangerous locality in all Cuba. In the mountains, whose out line can be plainly seen, is many a rebel, who is perfectly secure from the authori ties. There is a world of romance locked up in these woody heights. Cubans look to the United States for aid. They trust that some time they will be in a position to offer themselves and land to our nation. But the day is as yet far off. Aside from the political character that attends thg, Crfban majority in Key West there is a mercantile phase to the question. Everybody knows about the excellence of Key West) cigars. Now this tobacco is sent over from’ Cuba. The only reason that the Key West cigar has claims to superiority over New York productions is that better tobacco is obtained cheaper by the Key West manufacturers. This of course ap plies'-in a general way, and Cubans assent to the truth rrfit. I inferred from a ciiance remark made to me by an American resident ~ef~J£ey West that Cubans must have facilities Toroid taining the tobacco in Key W’est that are not available farther north. Despite the watchfulness of the United States officials there is an enormous amount of the weed smuggled into Key West. This is done in various ways, by tricks well known to the customs officers. 1 was instructed by a stranger whom I met at Key West to go into a coffee house th buy my cigarettes, and to be sure to ask for some “without stamps.” He told me that I could obtain them at 80 cents a real, while the usual price was $1.20. I did as he suggested. I entered a dirty little shanty, asked for cig arettes “without stamps.” But unfortu nately three companions greedily followed me in, and the proprietor, a villainous look ing scamp, assured me he had none of the articles such as I wanted. A comrade of mine, however, later went to a coffee house, and following the in structions that 1 had received, soon pos sessed a real of cigarettes on which there was no government stamp. They were manufactured in Havana (the number and street have escaped my memory) and'were smuggW into America. Strangers, and natives, too, are frequently approached on the street by a negro or a Cuban, who has his pockets stuffed full of cigars. He offers them to you at two for a nickle. I assure you if you buy them you will never regret it. They ace equal to the best you can ob tain at reputable establishments.. Postal cards use 720 B tons of card board yearly.
