CUBA'S DANGER.
Cuba not long ago made a loan of
135,000,000 In order to get the govern
ment going. This wn* nbout all that
the Inland, In the present Mage of Its
development, could otnnd. It Is now
proponed In a bill Juat Introduced In
the Cuban legislature that a new loan
of 120.500,000 be made, with the espe
cial view of liquidating the army
clalme, President Palma hoa recom
mended a reduction of those claims or
a loan of $11,000,000 for part payment.
It the loan of $20,500,000 should 1»e
made on ton of the $$6,000,000 the ag
gregate of Cuba’s debt would be at the
very threshold of the republic’* ca
reer $$$,500,000. Huppose that th>
money-lenders of the United Htntes
and of Europe should moke the con
cession, and then suppose that Cuba
should default In payment. What
would be the result? It I* very easy
to foresee. A French or German or
British creditor would report the fact
to his own government and there would
be navnl vessels In the Cuban harbor,
with shotted guns, n*klng for settle-6
went Inatnnter. In view of the Platt
amendment, limiting the raising of ex
traordinary revenues, the United
State* still hold n kind of protectorate
over and respons'blllty for the Cu
ban government. One may readily
Imagine the complications that might
ensue, if Cuba should become In
solvent.
We already know that the Monroe
doctrine does not prevent the use of
a foreign warship us a bill-collector.
This was exemplified In the Nicaragua
case, when the gun-backed British
Nag went sailing Into ths harbor of
Corlnto; In the case of Venexuela
when the flags of all the powers flut
tered along her mast, and In tho re
cent trouble between Turkey and the
United Htutes, when the latter's squad
ron was sent to persuade the sultan to
pay a bill. The day may conio when
this Issue shall become very scute. In
the Nicaragua and Venesuela and Tur
key cases there was no question of the
acquisition of territory. It was, us
we have said, merely a matter of tho
collection of debt, but there might
b# a day when foreclosure on the act
ual land assets would be necessary.
Ths United Ntute* government, so far
•a the Platt amendment Is concerned,
undoubtedly la a sponsor to some ex
tent for the financial obligations which
Cuba may Incur. For that reason any
default on Cuba's part would affect us
most seriously.
Perhaps, some day, we may have to
take over the republic we created, in
order to protect the estate from for
eign aelaure under mortgage.
AS TO MUGWUMPS.
Discussing the defeat of l*nrker re
cently the Atlanta Constitution ex
claimed: "Over It all the trail of tha
Mugwump!" And added: "From now
until 110$, In victory or defeat, the
motto of the true Democrats of the na
tion must be: 'The party must take
charge of Itself. No Mugwump lead
er* need apply!”
In response to this the New York
Times very pointedly observes:
Hut does our Atlanta contemporary
really know what It Is doing? The Mug
wump was the only one of all ths rlasscs
and categories of voters that stood
Staunchly bv Judge Parker. There Is, of
course, an Irreduelala remnant of (Vtnn-
cistlc voters, largely In the rural districts,

bant, and the Mugwumps or independ
Minn., on which to establish a colony
of Southern negroes, a few of whom
have already arrived there. It Is fur
ther stated that the agent has options
on "most of the township,” and it Is
proposed to cut It up Into forty acre
farm*.
Tbia fact, although an Interesting one
In Itself would hardly call for com
ment but for the concluding word* of
the dispatch, as follows:
The while settlers of Beltrami county
are wild at the Idea of negro colonies In
vading that territory, and say they will
■«e that the scheme Is not s success. The
country la new and attractive from an
agricultural standpoint.
Why are the white settlers of Bel-
Irsml county "wild at the Idea," and
why do they promptly announce that
they will "see to It that the scheme Is
not a succors”? Why should they
to drive from their midst the colored
man and brother In whom they have
been taught from childhood to have a
sentimental If not un affectionate In
terest? No doubt they, like most
Northerner*, would object to Bishop
Turner's scheme of colonising his nice
beyond seas, nnd why, then, should
they not be willing for these people to
move about and settle at will within
the limits of the United Htnles
Do tho people of Minnesota consider
the presence of the negroes a burden
and do they Insist that the Mouth
should bear this burden atono? lOvl
dently they do, and In so doing they
show an uncharitable disposition to
ward both races III the Houth, for It la
manifestly to the advantage of both
race* that the negro race spread
throughout the country and remain
congested in no particular group of
states. The Minnesotans, like most
Northerners, nre both Inconsistent and
uncharitable when confronted with thin
phase of the negro question.
MARVBL6 OP LONGEVITY.
Ths London Lancet reports the case
of n man who died recently In tho
Blackburn workhouse at tho undoubt
ed age of 105, notwithstanding the fact
that he was ”n snuff taker nnd habit
ual smoker, nnd ‘was not averse to a
glass of beer,' ” This furnishes Amer
ican Medicine with u "text” for tho
following Interesting remarks:
"It Is, Indeed, n very retnarkuble fact
that, notwithstanding ull the outcries
which have been raised against certain
hnblts by philanthropists, as destruc
tive of health nnd life, not one of them
Is entirely corroborated by tho'records
of centonarlnnlsm. Persons of utmost
all habits and occupation* even some of
the most unsanitary nnd most danger
ous— will he found enrolled on the
same list. The North American In
dian, who lived a life of continuous ex
posure. In unchanging tilth of personal
tmldt, and tho modern chemist, who
spent nil his more active hours In a
close laboratory, necessarily Inhaling
the foul gases of his myriad experi
ments. have both lived to the age of
103, The list Include* philosophers
and criminals, soldiers and sneaks, tee
totalers and drunkards, globe-trotter*
and denlsens of a single room (or cell),
nobles nnd servnnta. millionaires nnd
paupers. The anna!* of longevity In
form ua that 'Lady* Lawson, who died
at the age of 11$, never practiced ab
lutions of any kind, or hardly In any
degree, because, as she alleged, those
people who washed themselves were
always taking cold or luylng the foun
dation of some dreadful disorder.' And
moreover, that 'her apartment wua only
occasionally awept out, but never
washed; the windows were so encrust
ed with dirt that they hardly admitted
a yay of light.' In presence of such
facta, dogmatists sanitary should sure
ly be somewhat more modest!”
Though It would seem Impossible,
there are greater wonders even than
these mentioned by American Medi
cine. or at least greater wonders are
recorded. In the Oaterle des Centen-
airea a Russian peasant Is mentioned
who lived to the age of 1$0 and had a
eon only nine years old at the time of
his death. No lifeless old mummy was
he when he passed his century and u
half mark. More marvelous still Is the
cate of the French lady who, according
to the same authority, lived to the age
of 127 In comparatively full possession
of her early charms. Bhe must have

VALDOSTA, Go., Nov. 30.—The

cases are to be tried. The case of the
State vs. Ben Penny, Reub and Will
Knight, all jointly indicted for a con
spiracy to kill Mannla Carter at Nay

brings 17 cents or more nnd competes
with the lower grades of sea Island
cotton.
While the quality of the staple and
the price of it gives It big advantages,
the large yield per acre and the ease
with which it can be gathered, as com
pared with sea islands, is greatly in its
favor. The yield here has been from
one to two bales to the acre, which
makes it more prolific than either up
lands or sen Islands. It Is not as easy
to rnlne ns the uplands Is, but It Is
easier than sea Islands.

during the holding of the next meeting
of the National Association of Manu
facturer*. which will be held here In
May. 1905. The resolution was Intro

close of the annual banquet of the At

received with applause. Short speeches
confiding the resolution were made by
Mayor Howell, Hon. John n. Goodwin,
Hon. H. E. W. Painter. President J. K.

were adopted unanimously by u ris

The proper thing has been done by

Inviting the president of the United
States to come to Atlantn," said a
prominent business man of this city
today In discussing the action of the
