The Rural Guard ha9 been in
creased from 1,400 to 3,000 men,
and this modest standing army is
said to be well organized and dis
ciplined.,, In the Cuban treasury
at the end of April last there was
a balance \ of $2,699,071, From
May 20, 1902, to April 80, 1908,
the total royenue was $16,828,029
aud the total expenditure was
less than $14,000,000, This is a
showing that falsifies the predic
tion so freely made that indepen
dent Cuba could not successfully
finance herself.'
Reviewing the work of the first
Cuban Congress, Oapt‘, Hanna-
says that its legislation has been
along the general lines establish
ed by our military government.
The principal law passed by it
was that! authorizing the $85,000,
000 loau, of which 27,000,000 will
be used to pay off the army
There is, he tells us, no doubt of
the Cuban Government’s ability
to carry the loan and meet all its
obligations, “provided that the
reciprocity of the United States
is secured.’* - ,
■ On the whole the American
people have fair ground for satis
faction with what has been dohe
in their name in and for Cuba.
In establishing Cuban freedom
through a costly war, tho burden
was wholly borne by ourselves,
we are certainly entitled to the
credit of a chivalrous act for
which no other nation had fur
nished us a precedent. In* giving
the Cuban peoplb the benefit of
initiation into our methods of
government, particularly our
public-school system and our san
itary methods, we have- clearly
rendered them a further valuable
service. If our Congress wh©u it
meets *would respond to the un
doubted wish of the natioh and
give Cuba reciprocity and “a liv
ing chance,” we could look upon
our work in the island as honor
ably completed.

Night Was Her Terror.
“I would cough nearly all night
long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Apple-
gate of Alexandria, Ind., “and
could hardly get any sleep. I had
consumption so bad that if I
walked a block I would cough
frightfully and spit blood, but,
when all other medicines failed,
three $1.00 bottles of Dr. King’s
>T‘# Discovery wholly cured me,
■uu.ii .1 guiiied 58 pounds.” It’s ab
solutely guaranteed to cure colds,
coughs, i>grippe, bronchitis and
hll throat and lung troubles.
Says Jerry Smith, the veteran
of the White House ^to the Chi
cago Post correspondent:
“Mr. Roosevelt is not like any
of the other Presideuts-he doesn’t
ever take any rest unless he goes
away from town. Gen. Grant
would conie to the office about 10
o’clock and work-until 2, then he'
would take a lunch and go for a
drive. ^Generally he and Gen.
Beale would start out at the same
time, pach in a single buggy, and
they got to racing outside the city
limits almost every time before
they came back. Grant- never
went into the office after 2 except
by special appointment, Mr.
Hayes kept about the same hours
as Gen.- Grant, but he was much
more of a church-going man than
any of the other Presidents.
“Mr. Garfield also left his of
fice about 2 o’clock every day for
a lunch and a drive. . The Gar
field boys were a merry crowd,
and many a prank they played,
riding their., pony into the cellar'
and jumping into the big fomv
tain in their bathing suits. Mr.
Arthur’was the finest gentleman
that was ever in the White House
in the ways of having ah elegant
time!. He usually did not go to
the office till past 11 and then
left at 2. As for dinner, it was
often midnight before that was
finished, and.the servants were in
rare luck when they got home be
fore 12. Bub he was always very
kind, and gave more liberal tips
than anybody else.”
