WE FORGET.
So many tender words and true,
We meant to say, dear love, to you;
So many things we meant to do,
Jut we forgot.
The busy days were full of care;
The long night fell all unaware:
You passed beyond love’s pleading prayer,
While we forgot.
Now evermore through heart and brain
There breathes an undertone of pain.
Though what has been should be again,
We would forget.
We feel, we know, that there must be
Beyond the veil of mystery
Some place where love can clearly see
And not forget.

Porto Ricans Leave 1sland.
Going to Other Countries in Search of Work.—Condi-
tion of the Great Mass of People is Pitible.
A Ponce, Porto Rico, dispatch says: At
no time since the hurricane of August 8th
last has the condition of the poor of Porto
Rico been ae bad as it is to-day. About
'95 per cent. of the island may he placed
in the poor class, which is made up of a
mixture of all races. In the other 5 per
cent. are included the well-to-do, educated
people, such as merchants, planters and
professional men and their families. This
better class is able to pass through such
times as are now prevailing without actual
physical suffering, but their business affairs
are at a standstill, and have been for a
long time, and this deprives the majority
of the large laboring class of a means of
livelihood. This large body of laboring
people furnishes the very cheap and effect-
ive labor which is needed for agricultural
and other work, but at all times they have
been in an unfed and poorly nourished
They erect their poor thatched
and are usually found in abundance on
bad stony land, on mountain sides, along
rivers, or wherever a land owner has a bit
of worthless land. These people have
practically no furniture or utensils in their
miserable hovels, and they live from hand
to mouth, with no more thought for the
morrow than the domestic fowls in the
farmer’s barnyard. Understanding these
conditions, it is casy to see how dependent
these people are on their daily work, and
how general commercial depresssion and
lack of employment bring them at once
face to face with actual starvation. Their
hardships have been greatly added to by
the scarcity of fruit since the hurricane and
its consequent increase in price. Oranges
are very scarce as compared with former
years, and bananas of all kinds are still
absent from the markets. Salt fish, rice
and beans have been imported free of duty
since the hurricane, but little of the benefit
derived from this has gone to the peons,
and now, where there is a prospect of 15
per cent. of the Dingley tariff being placed
on these articles, the price has been greatly
advanced. Merchants hesitate to import
large stocks because of the prospect of free
trade, and the present scarcity is also a
cause for the advance in prices. Rice has
gone up from 5 and 6 centavos a pound to
8 and 9, beans from 6 centavos to 12, and
at one time, a few days ago. to 15 centavos
a pound, while salt fish has advanced from
6 centavos to about 10. Men, women and
children have been leaving the country
districts and flocking to the towns, where
they are now begging and living on what
little the charitable societies are able to
give them, and at night sleeping on door-
steps, under trees, in the corridors of the
town hall, on the stone floor, or wherever
night overtakes them and they can lie
down.
GOOD-WILL FOR AMERICA LOST.
No one who understands the situation
here will deny that much of the former
good feeling between Porto Ricans and
Americans has been lost. Besides, Ameri-
cans are fewer in numbers in Porto Rico
to day than at any time since shortly after:
the troops first landed, and those departing
have left long list of defunct companies,
bankrupt businesses, wrecked schemes and
anxious creditors, who, in some cases, hold
choice collections of worthless notes and
checks. Not only are Americans leaving
the island, but large numbers of Porto
Ricane have gone to Venezuela, to San
Domingo and to Cuba. Three days ago
over 300 natives sailed for Cuba to obtain
employment there, and at least a thousand
have sailed from this port alone during the
past three months. Much live stock is also
being shipped to Cuba. The greatest loss
to Porto Rico in this respect is the magnif-
icent cattle, which it will take years to re-
place.
The topic of greatest general interest now
is the new tariff and civil government hill.
Careful interviews with leading citizens in
all lines show that all are in favor of civil
government in one form or another, and
that all favor free trade, unless some per-
sonal end is served by a low tariff. Heavy
land owners favor a tariff as a source of
revenue to save themselves from a land tax
and in some cases merchants perfer to buy
and sell under a tariff, fearing that with
free trade there will be an influx of Ameri-
can capital, and serious competition will
injure them. The great majority of the
people want free trade and civil govern-
ment, and they demonstrate quite con-
clusively that the ordinary methods of
revenue and taxation when applied here
will yield abundant funds to pay the $2,-
000,000 annual expenses of the island. One
of the greatest need of Porto Rico is roads,
and, next to this, harbor works.

Plague Spreading in India.
The plague has now taken hold of Ben-
gal and is spreading fast. As I predicted,
there is a recrudescence in Calcutta. The
plague mortality has been rising steadily
sincethe end of January and the returns
for last week show 199 deaths. The out-
break in Calcutta has not yet alarmed the
native mind and large numbers still refuse
to believe that the disease is the plague at
all, but comfort themselves with the title
of bubonic fever, milder forms of which
they think they have known in Bengal for
many years. The regulations being so mild
there is no ground for any complaints
against authorities. Should plague really
develop seriously, as in Bombay and Poona
the organization must show itself as help-
less as it is insufficient. The rate of gen-
eral mortality now exceeds 50 per 1,000
per annum. the normal being about 37.
There is every indication of a very serious
development. The outbreak in the Patna
district has much increased, but it does not
seem to have attracted much public atten-
tion. Nearly 1,000 deaths occurred last
week. The people refuse to follow the tra-
ditional plan of evacination. Some oneap-
pears to have poisoned their minds in just
the same way as some one poisoned the
minds of the people of Calcutta with re-
gard to innoculation. The consequence is
that the disease has spread rapidly and is
now threatening South Behar.
Of Bombay city the record is terrible, no
less than 2,701 deaths having occurred dur-
ing the past week. The number of those
dying from plague is greater than has ever
been known. The death rate is over 170
per 1000 per annum. The official returns
only give the small number of 64 deaths
from plague. Small pox isstill raging, but
does probably not account for more than
300 deaths in the week.
The plague expenditure in Bombay has
been very large. A recent return shows
that up to December 31st 1899, the total
expenditure was Rs. 4.081, 208 (equal
roughly to about £270,000). The returns
for the whole of India give 2,597 deaths
from plague. It would probably not be far
wrong to double this estimate. In the
Jullunder district of the Punjab more vil-
lages are being attacked.
The latest weekly plague statement for
India, ending February 24th, shows a mark-
ed increase in the number of deaths and the
week closes with 3,184 fatal cases, against
2,597 in the previous week. The increase
is due to the further development in Bom-
bay and in the Bengal presidency. In
Bombay city the general mortality again
surpassed the previous maximum and 2,-
831 deaths were recorded. Of this number
263 were attributed to smallpox, but the
official figures only return 768 deaths as due
to plague. If the truth were known, prob-
ably 2,000 deaths occurred from plague
alone. This terrible general mortality
very nearly touches a rate of 180 per. 1,000
annum. In Calcutta the outhreak is de-
veloping very rapidly and now, after only
five weeks’ increase, the plague mortality
is double what it amounted to during the
worst week of last year.
St. Helena and Devil's Island.
Several thousand Boer prisoners with
their great commander on recent battle-
fields, General Cronje, are to be deported
from their homes and native land to the
rocky island of St. Helena, in mid-ocean,
where the great Napoleon found his death
and his remains their first resting place.
This will be set down to the fortunes of
war, and we suppose it nay be accepted as
such; but in view of the future, when the
Boers, by the same fortunes of war, are to
be reconciled and subdued, their nationality
destroyed and they made partakers of the
glories and liberties of British dominion, it
does not seem to be a sagacious policy. St
Helena and its associations are not likely to
leave pleasant memories and this may be
the first step in making another Ireland in
South Africa. Possibly St. Helena may be
found a hetter place than the prison ships
in St. Simon’s bay, where the Boers have
been dying off in a manner that has called
protests from President Kruger,and even of
the premier of Cape Colony. The Baltimore
“Sun”? makes a comparison of St. Helena
and Devil’s Island. where Dreyfus suffered
the tortures of the damned, and whence his
release was matter of rejoicing all over the
world. It argues that the deportation of
the Boer prisoners savors of both brutality
and fear. In one way it isa compliment
to the Boers, for as prisoners in their own
land they would keep alive, by contact, the
Boer ideas of British humanity when it
comes to ruling over a conquered people.
But the Boers, accustomed to free life in
the open air,on the limitless plains of their
native land, it means intolerable depriva-
tions and cruelty. ‘‘The French govern-
ment,’’ says the *‘Sun,’’ ‘‘when it incarcer-
ated a single prisoner on Devil’s Island ex-
cited the criticism of the whole world,
including the English press, though Drey-
fus was alleged to have been guilty of the
worst of crimes against his country. But
Great Britain sends not only one but thous-
ands of men to St. Helena, and these men,
including the heroic Cronje, are guilty of
no crime but that of gallantly defending
their native land against aggression. St.
Helena to these Boer prisoners is as much a
Devil’s Island as was the French island of
that name to Dreyfus, and in sending them
there the English government is guilty of
a moral brutality utterly unworthy of her
power and greatness.’
Ceaseless Cry for Food.
The Conditions In Puerto Rico are Growing Worse
Every Day.
A San Juan dispatch says: Long pro-
cessions of half-clothed men and women,
headed by little girls carrying black flags,
are coming into the city nearly every day
from interior towns. A procession of 150
came from Aguas Buenas on Thursday.
All tell the same story of starvation and
want, and they ask for food and work.
The situation is certainly very bad, but
those in authority think that in some in-
stances the applicants are directed hy po-
litical bosses, who hope to secure road
work.
An announcement having heen made that
the Puerto Rican Benevolent society would
attempt to relieve the poor at Ponce, the
town has heen simply overwhelmed with
an army of starving or pauperized folk.
No fewer than 200 men, women and chil-
dren, sick and starving, are living in the
corridor of the City hall and in a kiosk on
the plaza.
Most of these are fed by the society.
Letters have been received announcing that
5,000 more are on the way.
The city council will deport outside
paupers who are now there, and the sta-
tion guard will prevent the entrance into
the city of others.
The p.ices of provisions continue very
high and discontent grows, but thus far
there has been no public demonstration.
—— ‘Better late than never.”” It is
best, however, to be never late about tak-
ing Hood’s Sarsaparilla to purify your
blood. Take it now.
