Tho Governor's Cabinet. The new man In the new guberna torial cabinet Is the "premier," W". W (lielst. Ills appointment as secretary of thp loniinonwealth is doubtless in p-ut a ttlbute to the staunch and btuidy llenubllcanism of the county which lie represents; a county that has necr waered in its patty alleg iance and which in Its steadfastness through good and thiough evil repot t stands as a model to the other coun ties of tho Male. Hut tho appointment of Mi. Gielst has another signlllcunce; it cnntlrms the belief expressed on this page some timi' ago thnt dining the administration of Colonel Stone, the circle of partv recognition would bo widened to admit men of promise representing the younger generation. Mr. Giiest enters stnto office with superior lecommendiulom uud will no doubt fully vindicate the wisdom of his selection. In another way the new executlva lias fulfilled the expectations formed of him. We refer to his appointment of John P. Klkln as attorney general, whoso vilification and pursuit by the camp follow etti of John Wanamaker has been one of the most indecent political episodes of ieccnt times. Mr. I'lKlp Is anotl'r representative of tho youiift blood in tho partj, who has been equallv suceeusful as a law maker, a law-liUoriueter and a gen eral of political forces. No man has ever won moie fairly than hr. the high maik of conlldonce which his nomina tion and confirmation to the olllce of nttornej geneiul represents, and It is mfe to predict for him a brilliant and honoiable nilicl.il cauer. The lemainlnir sclectionf are equally ctedllable. It Is unnecessary to say this for adjutant general "Tom" Stew nit, whom everybody know.3 und ie-t-pectp. Israel W. Puiham, the new insurance commissioner, won his poli tical spur. In Philadelphia, whine ho has twice defeated the strongly en tienched Mai tin organization, and the now private secretary, C. V, Oerwlg, hervel in that capacity for Colonel Stone when tho lattei whf a member of conijres-s. Altogether the now cab inet I stmn'T in character and ability and espei Lilly vttong politically. Tho inventor of a ltey to the Harris burg deadlock ought to get a liberal loyalty. General Wood's Testimony. To the. gentlemen of the Union LiCikuo club of New Voik who gave n dinner in Ills honor on Tuesday nUht General I.eonaul Wool gnvp testimony as to tho inliHieut capacity of tho Cu ban people which is corroboration of much which has been said In these col umns. Genual Wood a.lrnit-j that when ho took hold of the affulrs of .Santiago city and piovince ho was almo.n per suaded that tho task set befora him was a hopeless one. Uut ho went ahead, doing his duty fearlessly and openly, nnd tho result Is almost magic nl. Says ho: "We fjt.irtcd In by having no secrets of any kind, ulinpo or desciiptlon. 1-veiythlng that wan done was dons down there 83 an open booh. Tho icc retarles and clerks at department headquarters In civil departments wero all Cubann and all men who had been In the Cuban army, and all financial transactions wero carried out through Cuban clerks, eo that overywhero they r.ie now satisfied that as far as the In tel est of the country wont it was nil right. I have tried to draw tha army oft of the situation at tho earliest pos Flblo day and tried to Imprest upon tho people that tho fjist thing thoy had to do down thero wan to learn to gov cm themselves, and that tho underly ing principle of self-government was thorough respect for civil law, nnd that we did not want ar.y lawlessness. Wo only had tho army thete as a balance of power to overcome any lawlessness, All tha public places were filled by rep rcaentatlvo Cubans without exception. They hnvp lUled them so satisfactorily that up to tolay I have not had occa sion to remove a tlnslo person leconi inended by them. Thero haa been a good deal tram our standpoint vhlch was not satisfactory, nnd which I think could be attributed to the fact that thpsn people liuve hardly got In tho way of trusting themselves, but the perfect ly oiien policy that wo have pursued has disarmed them to a certain extent, and today, us far as I know, the re spect fur tho Ajnerlcnn Hag nnd tha American people nnd Amorlcnn uood faith Is all right. If we go slowly nnd take plentv of trine and patience wo can certainly put these people on their feet, and they would ba compelled to ny that the United States nave them un opportunity to test their capacity. I believe It Is n good plan, for If they fall the strong argument Is ours, for wo have kept our promise. It they suc ceed the chances nro that under tho trade conditions and the many Inter ests which draw them to the United States, they will i-ome to us mom quickly If we want them, which I think is an open question, for the present at least. At any rate, they will come to us. if nt all, cheerfully and without nny unpleasant iecollectloii3 of compul se n." This Kind of talk hns the tkht ring to it for it is candid, honest and manly. It also sJiows, what has nil alons been known to studnts of the rutun char acter, thjt while you can lead tlin f'uban people nnywhere by first win ning their confldencs und preserving th"ir fef-i expect, you cannot drive them at aJI. Sraln tried the driving lit Iky for urward of fifty ears, only to full disastrously. Tho policy out lined by General Wood miccec ded in tho worst part of Cuba In less than tK month?. After such a contrast there Is no room left for argument. Time will fully show that William A. Stone is no man's men but tho people's. His is a reputation that grows. A Constitutional Fino Point. Into the merits of the divorce case of McComb ivs. McComb it does not be come a newspaper to enter, but in tho Interesting reply of the defendant, as set forth elsowheiv, there appears one paragraph to which it is hoped tho honouiblu court of Lackawanna county will give analytical consideration. Wo have in mind the excerpt which fol lows: I did not sunender my manhood nor re. nuiiucu my Independent Individuality when I became the hUfcb.ind of Ida Kit genlo Hunter. Neither did I acknowledge my mother-in-law as a tensor of my con duct, nor my wife a dictator of my ac tions Hy arrogating to themselves tho functions of censor ur.d dictator, lespcct Ively tho Uhsuntrd moro than the pre rogatives of a mother-In-law or wife, and encroached on my right, inherent und constitutional, of having representation an well as taxation. Here Is certainly a point for con stitutional lawyers. The Cincinnati man who is endeavor ins to gain fame by lemodeling tho de sign of the American flag Is wastlns valuable time. "Old Glory," as now recognized aiound tho world is good enough for nil purroi-es and no at tempt to alter its appearance will ever become popular. The appointment of Judge Teter S. Gioweup to the circuit Judgeship in the new Illinois district is a promotion rest ing on most palpable merit. Judge Grosscup ought to be on tho United States supreme bench. It Is said that Secretary Alger will resign as soon ns the wnr investiga tion commission turns in a report ex onerating him from blame. Such a course would undoubtedly simplify mntteis. Tho appointment and confiimnUon of John P Klkln as attorney general is a vigorous blow at vindictive personal politics, and there will bo others,. If theie Is a two-thirds majority in the senate for the ratification of tho peace treaty it should begin to aseit itself. The best thing that the piesent ses sion of congress has done yet is its pulsing of the naval personnel bill. Judge Jenks will find that throwing his votes to a Wanamaker bolter will be moie easily said than done.

Correspondence of tho Associated Press. fan Juan, Poito Itlco, lVc IS Thu vol no of this island to tho United Htut.M should not ba oxcrcstlmated. Varied and many representations concerning l'oitc ltlco ara belnic made dally; somo orlGlnalo from men who have things to sell, bo It laud cr merchandises others from thosa whoso Interests uto stnod by tho presence hero of Americans with money In their pccUets, und still other statements aro mado In an exaggeration that arises frdm Ignoranco und carcloas nej"s. In considering tliu Porto ltlco of today and tho developeel Porto ltlco of tho futuro it would be well to sot down theso facts. The island hus an urea of 3 03Q suuaro miles: that of tho stalo of Connectleut Is 4,750 squaro miles and thut of Now Juiscy Is S.3."!) sqimro miles, Tho poulatlon of Porto ltlco is less than two.oou: thoro aro urlous estimates or population ranging from fcuu.ooo to this tlgure. a Spanish census of about ten ears ago puts tho poUlal!cn at UG.OOO, which Is less than that of the tlty ;f lirooklyn. o According to Bulletin 13 of the I'nited States department of ngrlcultuto entitled "Tiadn of Puerto ltlco," tho unnual uv. erago Imports of this Island from IS9.'-1S)6 to all countries amounted to 18,111,602 pesos, which amount fs calculated to equal 11.40,494 Amerlcun dollars, and tho an nual a vertigo of exports for the same ilvo yeurs Is slvcn nt 0,!il.4M pesos, or J6, KiO.oll American dollars. The Island is densely populated and closely cultivated, tho population per squuro mllo being 2-'I. Its commercial output can certainly bo increased and Its consumption of foreign merchandise will augment with tho de velopment necessary to bilng about this first condition. Grant that exports und imports iittlmntcly Increase CO per cent., Porto ltlco could then supply about 10 per cent, of what tho United States year ly consumes in tropical products, und she would bo a market for about 2 per eent. of our yearly exports. When theso fuets are consleleieel ono reaches a talr Idea of tho commercial value ot this new possession, o As a. winter and liea'th icsort Porto ltlco will have Its attractions; thero Is beautiful coui.try to bo seen, tropical nnd strange. The climate Is delightful In winter and when we obtain tho results of army statlstlcsconceinlng the health of our soldiers In barracks, wo will know the dangers thereof. There Is much evi dence to Inillcoto that this climate Is a healthy one, but the life In cities Is not as yet. There are n few beautiful drives on the island, though tho greater majori ty of tho roods arc wretched, and thero are cool mountain locations well suited for comfortable hotels. The advantago of the island us a naval outpost is great. To our country nt largo this Is probably Its most valuablo feature, and tho es tablishment hero of a first-class navy sta tion and supply depot Is a question of time only, Porto ltlco will also bo a training ground for tho American soldier who will llnd himself as a policeman in the land. o Thcie are always a number of adven turous spirits to follow urniles, leady to gr,wp all advantages arising from tho economic chnnges that follow urmed in tervention. Thero has been no lack of such men to follow tho American ormy into Porto Rico. Soma of them wore experienced In their woik und know how to direct their efforts through the confu sion resulting from the radical political changes occurring here dally or threat ened for the near future. Thero have also been many who could not bo content with these conditions, whose small capi tal was soon exhausted by heavy travel ling expenses nnd who were glad to get homo us best they might. Porto Rico has not been an easy llelel for the amateur advcnturpir. Newspaper reports havo been misleading and read up nortn through roso colored glasses and with a few hundred dollars young men have started down here In tho evetlasting hunt for the golden opportunity which has not set been found. Yet thero are opportunities for profitable investment hero. It requires a cool head and a clear mind to seek them out and rocog. nlzo them when found, and then It takes capital to work them. This is no new country whero everything remains to be done, it is an olel ceuntry wheio every thing lias been done. o When wo speak of seventeen and a half million dollars' worth of Imports into Pirto Rico It must be borna in mind that that amcunt represents the Island's busi ness with nil tho world, and while It is a fact that undur fieo liudo with tho United States tho laigcr proportion ot this money will be expended for Ameri can goeds, yot a certain portion, which is estimated at two and a half millions a year, will be sptiit In foreign markots, notably in Spain, nnd for articles wo do not produce nnd which the islanders want and will have. 'I ho foreign trade or Porto Rico hus lecn In the past con ducted chiefly with Spain, the United States, Cuba, Germany, the United Kingdom nnd France. Elghty-flvo per cent, of the inerchundlso Imported and exported during the years 1693-1S96 was exchanged with theso countries. Spain iccolved tho largest Ehare of this trade her portion arrcr ntlng annually to P.SS8 -074, or 3 per cent, of the total valuation. Tho trado with tho United States during this period was second to that of Spain; our shaie amounted to $C,S13,232 annually, or 20 per cent, of the total. During theso samo years Spain sent to Porto Rico a yearly nvcingo of K.7C3,317 worth or goods, equal to 22 per cent, of thti island's imports, nnd against this the I'nited States furnished 21 per cent, of all that tho islanders boucht In foreign markets. Tor the United States to enjoy tho best advantages from this new mar ket commerce with our country must bo free and thero must bo prohibitive duties on the productions of other countries, is Interesting to consider what this now poscsslon offers to the American who wants to invest from five to fifteen or twenty thousand dollars here. Agri culture Is thei basis of wealth : tho pros perity of the year is measured by iho success of tho various crops, Thero tol low tho amounts of agricultural exports during tho yea" 1S97 set down in pesos. Tho peso is tha silver dollar of the island, its intrinsic or bullion value Is about 3S cents gold, and tho rate of ox chango Is today at 165. That Is, you are paid fl C3 In pesos for an American dol lar. This Is a commercial valuation which differs largely from the bullion aluo and from tho nrbltrary rato of ex change of two for ono established by tho Ameriran military authorities In Porto Rico. Tho records of the Spanish bank in Porto Rico for tho last ten years shov that tho average rate of exchange dur ing this period has been at 110 per cent. o Porto Rico exported In 1S97 coffee to the .uluo of 12,222,69 J pesos, tobacco to the value of ubout 4,000,000 pesos; black molasses valued at 403,519 pesos; cocoanuts at 31,000 pesos nnd corn to tho valuo of 07.202. There can bo added to this list 71,832 pesos worth of hides nnd 22o.CS') worth of cattle all of which latter was shipped to other West Indian Islands Thoro were, of course, various other pro ducts exported, but tho total value of no single ono nmounts to 23,000 pe-sos for tho car. When estimates ore made today as to what Porto Rlcnn crops will prove piofltablo in the future, It la at onca seen that much depends upon the devel opment of tho Island, such ns transpor tation, and tho growth of the Island's pro. ducts In the American market. In this latter respect It mvst bo lemembcrcd that Cuba will bo Porto Rico's most active rival. It can generally bo stated that Cuba will produce everything that docs Porto Itlco and the former lBland, If eventually accorded equal privileges with the latter on thn American markets, holds a geographically and advantageous position than does Porto Rleo, and Is ca. pablo of a much larger nnd consequently cheaper production. o I.,und Is oxponslve In Porto Rico, this because tho population is dense. Today. In tho face of tho expected Influx of Americans eager to buy, prices on lands aro advancing unduly. Tho measure of land surfaro here Is a cucrda, equal to sixty-nine yards, square, Lnnels aro di vided Into four classes. First class lands are thoso sultablo for sugar; they aro found In tho bolt of low Hat land run ning around the Island between tho foot hills of tho mountains nnd tho se-u. In good prosperous times In tho past, first clnss sugar lands have brought as high as N00 a cuerda; today they can be hud for about JIM a cueida, nt which prlco thoy should bo drained and ditched and ready for planting. Such lands also produce good cattlo fodder. These are tho most oxponslvo lands In Porto Rico today and cultivation of sugar because of the ex pensive machinery lequlrcd to treat the cane, cnlls for moro capital than any other industry on the island. Second clnss lands are thoro In tho valleys and on the hillsides In the Interior. They aro largely sultablo to tho production of cot. fee und their prices vary. If they nro already planted with good bearing trees they aro considered to bo worth $150 u ouerdn. Young coffee trees need shade, und lands already wooded aro sometimes preferable for their planting. Land suitable for coffee planting, though not already planted, could bo brought today for from 10 to 23 pebos a cuerda. I know ot a good farm ottered for sale at 9,000 pesos. It contains In nil 500 cuerdas, 40 of which nro already set out with promis ing coffee trees nnd 100 moro cuerdas aro sultablo for tho Immediate planting of others. Tho balance of 360 cuerdas aro woodland and pasture, part of which would grow fruits and vegetables. Work this out and wo get forty cuerdas at 350 pesos each, equal to 6,000 pesos; a hun dred cuerdas at 10 pesos makes 7,000 psos und tho balance of SCO cuerdas for 2,000 pesos. This is a very fair criterion ot tho values that for such lands pertain today. o Tho black sandy loam Ijtng ndjaccnt to tho sugar lands Is callr.l third class. Their values vary. Sorno arc well udaptcd for tobacco culture find nro ex pensive, others can be bought from 10 to 25 pesos a cuerda. Tho vatuo of theso lands for the cultivation ot fruits and vegetables for local consumption Is in creased If they are located near seaports or largo towns. The fourth class com prises tho sandy bench lands. This is where cocoanuts aro planteel. Certain fruits grow well on them nnd their prices will vary, according to location and adaptability, from 5 to 23 pesos a cuerda. o There Is said to bo a profitable future In tho production of minor fruits and veg etables in Porto P.lro. Tho oranges of tho Island nro of tlno flavor and Juicy, anil the pineapples and bananas are ex collcnt. Tho exports of or'anges amount ed In 1597 to 2,610 pesos nnd that of pine apples to E10 pesos. Here is a field that needs development and the advantages of free trado with the United States. If In a few years enough of such fruit is produced to warrant a line of fruit steamers from here to tho United States, thus Insuring quick and cheap transit, the industry might glvo gocd returns. Here, as in other cases, Cuba, will bo Porto Rico's rival. The growing of veg etables for tho off seasons of tho Ameri can market could also be developed. This will likewise require rapid transportation and thero must be a considerable amount to be thU3 transported beforo freight rates that admit of profit can bo ob tained. We havo no data as to how this climate and soli will produce certain northern vegetables that today do not grow here. Wo me told that tho soil Is wonderfully rich and will produce "any thing." Experiment only wilt show in how far this asserted ability has a com merclal valuo and the profitable futuro of such industries Is largely a question of development nnd study. o The profits in sugar raising depend laigely on duties; upon whether sugar car. bo placed upon tho market without taxation. The profitable gi owing of su gar In tho West Indies hus for long been a question for statesmen to ponder; England hao for scmo years been at tempting to bring this Industry In the colonies back to tho profits of former time. In the profitable production of sugar the Cubnn crop will be this Island's greatest danger. o Porto Rlcnn tobacco Is said by many to bo of excellent quality. It seems to bo badly harvested and cured, however, nnd if Improvements were mado in this direction Its valuo would bo increased. Much has of lato years been sent to Cuba, where it has fetched good prices. o Rcforo Porto Rico can enter upon that Bteady march ot development, education and Improvement, which constitute her future prosperity, several conditions which at this hour hang heavily over the Island will havo to bo removed, Porto Rico's status will have to bo determined; she must bo legally admitted as a terri tory or a colony of the United States and sho will have to enjoy free trade with our country. Tho question of her prosent depreciated currency will have to bo straightened out and the business un certainty nnd confusion resulting from whatever measures aro takerr to this end must havo subsided. The Islanders them selves must bury past political discords and enter upon a new era of good fellow ship and unity of purpose. Tho exceed ingly high state of taxation on property in force today must bo cut down to a reasonable assessment. Tho American military authorities aro now collecting the taxes assessed by Spain during tho first months of tills year, which taxes are Intended to provide for all Insular oxponses including tho maintenance of the Spanish army of occupation, tho Spanish navy and tho Church of Rome, three featuies of insular politics tint aro non-cxlstant slrco Oct. IS last. This taxation on fanning lands In tho nil. Jorlty of cases amounts to 20 per cent, of tho lands' not earnings per year. o Tho United States received from Spain tho title to various government lands in Porto Rico. Where these lands were available for farming purposes they havo been to a great extent already taken up, nnd whllo many of them may not now bo under actual cultivation, their titles ure apt to havo been compromised under Spain and thoy nro today subject to various claims resulting from tho cor rupt system of Spanish land registra tion. Only when theso existing condi tions are righted will Porto Rico bo reaclv and nblo to tako upon herself tho labors which should lead her to that degrco of prosperity, peaco and pleasure whit h rightly Is her due and which her past political relations have thus far pro vented her from enjoying.
