CONDITIONS
IN HAITI NOW
BHE BLACK BEPUBLIO IS AD
MITTEDLY A FAILURE.
JEtMeptlonttlly Rich in Natural Ho
sources, the Island Is Held Back
by Corrupt Officials nud Public Ig
nornneo, and the Only Permanent
Solution Is Annexation to tho
United States.
Writing from Port-nu-Prlncc under
date of July .10 to the Now York Times,
Kalhorlno l'rlnco says:
illultl ut this moment Is In complete
anarchy, but nimrehy of a nort un
faithfully portrayed In tho reports that
reach the outer world. Tho famous
"revolution" thnt recently effected tho
downfall of President Ham, and which
yet bolls and bubbles nbout the selec
tion of a new president, has thus far
to answer for but six deaths through
out all Haiti. The sanguinary buttles
described for the foreign press have
been, as n matter of fact, as harmless
us buttles of clowns in n pantomime.
The elections now in progress are not
themselves more farcical thun the dis
turbances that they cuusc.
The whole political situation beggars
a comic opera for ehuotlo absurdity.
Yet, taken all in till, it lays bare the
ruin of the country.
The mass of the best Haitian citizens
stand today as one man in open ac
knowledgment of the Impossibility or a
successful or even of a decent "black
republic." Their racial hope and pride
can carry no further. Under self-government,
they say, with frank despair,
Haiti must remain forever a thing of
ridicule and shame, so that they look
forward with Impatience as with cer
tainty to the day when some outburst
of special foolery shall compel the Unit
ed States to luy hands upon the Island
rind make it her own. Nothing is more
Dtrlking than tho force and the preval
ence of this desire for annexation.
"Within twelve years It must come,"
you hear on all sides, "and then, within
twenty-four hours, tho country will be
purged." "So only," say the intelligent
Haitians, "shall we become a reputable
people." "So only," the resident for
eign merchants add with one accord,
"can the great riches of the .country be
developed and Dresorved."
And both wait, with a faith some
what hard to understand, for the reali
zation of their dream.
Haitian Conditions.
The real nature of the Haitian admin
istration is perhaps little known
nbroad. Of the whole Haitian people,
about .one In twelve can read or write.
No white man can serve in the govern
ment. All men of color are regarded
by tho blacks, who form the over-
I' wlinlmllirr nnntnrlt-v with nlnimv unil
distrust. And any black who has re
ceived particular advantages of cdu-
f!illnti la lnnlfarl l,rrtn cnmnlvhnt fictr-
I. .u,.wi. . .UU....U Ui'U.I .Jlf.l.l. ,i ..Ufa ......
ntlnfi hv lua lipntlinra In Vilnnrl riptanlfn
their experience, the people wish to bo
governed, literally, from their own
ranks, and it is therefore from the
lowest class that the highest officers
of state are chosen.
As to the presidents, each in turn
models his conduct more or less after
that or his predecessor. Once invested
with office, he shuts himself up in his
palace, where he proceeds, by the aid
.of his new facilities, on the one hand
to ruin his health by riotous living and
on the other to 1111 his coffers from the
public funds.
The palace is always guarded by
troops in force, and his excellency or
dinarily makes but one sortie a week
on Sunday mornings, when he drives to
church to hear mass, his carriage hld
ilen by a guard of GOO men. The rea
son of his seclusion is his fear .of as-
kv BHssination, and tho reason of ills fear
Is his knowledge of his just deserts.
The salary of the president Is about
525,000 a year, a sum very Inadequate
for the extravagances In which he In
dulges. Yet most presidents have
ciultted ofllco possessed of large for
tunes. The example of the chief execu
tive is repeated down the official scale,
each man according to his skill and his
opportunities. And the sources from
,, which the profits come are apparent on
every hand.
Multiplied Taxes.
The population pays taxes for nil
manner of public works, their erection
and maintenance. Yet public worlts
can hardly be said to exist. The popu
lation pays taxes for the proper pav
ing, cleaning, and lighting of the capl
tuf. Yet tho streets of Port-au-Prince
remain from year to year exactly as
accidents, wear, and the undisturbed
nccumulatlon of unbelievable filth com
pound. The population pays taxes for
the support of a relatively large force
of volunteer troops. Yet of that force
but u fraction really exists, while the
fraction Itself sees little or nothing of
the money that is its due.
"With the regular troops the same
methods are observed. For the pay of
the enlisted men of tho garrison of any
district that you may cliooso to name,
the government appropriates a certain
num weekly. This sum pusses first into
the hands of tho general commanding
the district, who appropriates ubout GO
per cent, of the whole and gives over
tho residua to his second In command.
The second abstracts perhaps 40 per
front, of what he receives' before com
mitting the funds to his subordinate;
and so, In the end, the enlisted man
gets, if he is In luck, ubout 10 per cent,
of his theoretical wagon. He never
complains, because to complain Is to
court punishment and discharge, And
no personage of authority over inter
feres in his behalf, because no person
ngo of authority lacks sympathy with
the general commanding.
Easily Satisfied.
The system naturally breeds some dis
content, but the people are very Ignor
ant, and a few long words, a little
cloud of grandiloquence and mystlllen
1 tlon, will alva'3 suillce to befog unci
confuse tliolr minds, Whatever means
one demagogue may tako to oust an
other, he Is always-careful not really
to awuken the common dupes to their
Wrongs, und bo to close tho doors upon
ilils own paradise, Yet as the period of
rejections draws on tho long-suffering
' populace occasionally gets its sop,
.For example, from the beginning of
the current year until the lust week In
June none of the small government em
ployes hud received a cent of wages,
though each had received, month by
month, a .note duly acknowledging ils
credit. These notes his pressing neces
sities naturuly obliged him to turn
bvr, one by one, to whoever would buy
them at some part of their face value:
niid the government characteristically,
'jyus more than content with the ar
rangement, shutting Us eyes to the Ul
timate results.
As Juno 18 approached, however,
bringing with It the election of depu
ties, the government cunnlly decided
that It might he well to let Its people
see a little ready cubIi, to disburse, In
fact, n month's pay. Yet, as tho mer
chants and money lenders held paper
covering all arrears, It was patent that
they would claim the entire Issue
promptly. In order, therefore, to In
sure the employes In actually touching
their douceur, tho Issue, when made,
wus specifically designated as "for nn
unknown month," which well-considered
phrnFo has enabled tho treasury
officials thus fur to baffle All outside
claimants.
"Wo nre very sorry; but our books
have become unaccountnbly confused.
Until they are cleared up wo can allow
no mieh claims as yours, for fear of
paying for tho same month twice."
The device Is childish, but so Is the
people, whether In Its cunning or In Its
stupidity, and the typical ofllclal, with
his shallow trickery, hopes only to out
wit his rivals long enough to fill his own
pockets. One government ousts an
other baldly for tho spoils. Hyppollte
is yet remembered with some kindness
because, with all his monstrous thefts,
he yet performed ufter tv fashion one or
two of the works for which ho levied
taxes. Hum stole consistently, con
stantly, without limit or Interruption,
and is classed by his countrymen as no
worse than the rest.
Foreigners Secure.
All this notwithstanding, the property
of foreigners resident In Haiti remains
secure, und a foreigner, always pro
vided that he knows how to handle und
to fortify his interests, may even en
joy a steady protection from successive
governments Hint are steady in noth
ing else save thievery.
The terror of the Haitian, whether
president, senator, or man in the
street, Is a foreign warship In tho har
bor. Display your ilag, bo it Ameri
can or European, and the most threat
ening mob will take to its heels, it is
to the foreign ministers or consuls,
and by no means to his own magis
trates, that the Haitian turns when ho
believes his life in danger. Let a riot
be feared in tho town, and you shall see
some foreign flag afloat from every sec
ond window.
"With the fear of violence and retri
bution In the air, each quaking citizen
tries to recall thai ho Is not really a
Haitian at all, andthat his great-aunt
or his wife's cousin came from St.
Thomas or .Martinique. Or, if he can
not establish that plea, then he runs
to some consulate, begging protection
on the ground of mere humanity. Tho
plea, it may be added, is always heard.
Every consul or minister in troubled
times has a brood of refugees under his
wing: Indeed, if It were not so, much
more blood might really be shed in the
"revolutions" of Haiti.
If, as a foreigner, you have at any
time to complain of damage done to
your property, your price will be paid
with a dispatch and a foreigner must
be very much in the wrong before gov
ernment will take action against him.
His country's guns are always thrust
ing shadowy muzzles over his shoulder,
and, lest the shadows become solid,
government will recognize with alacrity
claims of a size truly amazing, a fact
occasionally played upon by the un
scrupulous. How the Trick Is Done.
No small factor in the unquestioning
acceptance of such claims lies in the
opportunities for middlemen's profits
that their payment affords. The cabi
net minister through whom a demand
is presented' merely doubles the sum
named by the claimant, enters the sen
ate with a request for "closed doors,"
represents to the senators assembled
that the claimant's government re
quires instant satisfaction on pain of
shot and shell, and that only by ills
own mingled prayers and statesman
ship was the sum reduced to its pres
ent size.
The legislators recognize tho force of
the argument and appropriate the
money required, half of which more
than satisfies the claimant, while the
rest goes to repay the ministerial exer
tions, Tho news quickly becomes pub
lic, perhaps even gets into 'print, the
successful claimant laughs over the
story in the streets, every one makes a
mental note for future use, and things
progress as, before.
Meantime the foreign business men
here," most of whom are Germans,
make fortiuies quickly, and that chiefly
In deals with government, Govern
ment, always in need of ready money,
must borrow at rates exorbitantly high.
And for whatever dubious end a sum
may be required, resident foreign capi
talists familiar with the tricks of the
trade will always lend willingly and
eagerly on the security of the customs
receipts.
Haiti taxes both her imports and ex
ports, rid all customs moneys must
pass through the national bank, a !
French institution, before being avail
able by the government 'itself. The
bank pays off all secured claims before
recognizing the government's right to
use tho fund, and therefore loans and
contracts made on security of customs
are held to be as safe as they are profit
able. So easy a means of obtaining
money is well calculated to appeal to
the negro's short-sighted recklessness,
and tho customs are already In pawn
to CO per cent, of their volume.
A Rich Country.
Not the least striking of the conclu
sions Induced by consideration of these
facts and of other equnlly patent Is
that of the wonderful .richness of the
country. Here is a population of only
1,200,000 idle, poor, and almost savage.
Hero are no organized industries, no
thrift, no progress, no development of
the country's natural wealth. Hut scat
tered on tho hillsides by "patches arc
small fields of coffee, and spreading
over tho mountains are great forests of
logwood, And the profits brought Into
the government by the ignorant negro's
fitful bundling of these two resourfes
have been enough not only to support
tho wholesale.' drains of a long succes
sion of thieves in ofrtce, but nlso to
make possible tho waste and the ex
travagances that their existence bos

Doan's Kidney Pills nre for the kid
neys. Mrs, Evan Jenkins, of 143 South Fll
moro nvenue, Hyde Park, says: "I had
steady pain In my hips and through my
sides, s6 distressing nt times that i
could not do my work nbout the house.
I have often been obliged to call In the
doctor. There wns also, an annoying
kidney weakness which was at times
very painful and attended with fre
quent action of the secretions, My
limbs wore numb and I had dropsy at
times and my feet swelled so that I
could not wear my shoes. The doctor
said my trouble must bo checked or
It Would end in Brlght's disease, but I
did not receive much benefit from the
medicine I took. I heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills and used four or five
boxes. They helped me wonderfully In
every way. I have recommended them
to many of my friends nnd some of
them have received marked benefit
from tho use of this remedy."

THE NURSE'S NIGHT DUTY.
Her Work Is Exacting and Utmost
Vigilance Is Demanded.
Di Emma C. Ilaekett In March Pilgrim.
In the larger hospitals, where the
exigencies of the work make help nec
essary and llnances make it possible for
the nurse to have an assistant, a rest
ful change comes when, at midnight,
she can leave her ward for an hour and
join the other night nurses at "mid
night dinner." In small "hospitals where
no relief can be had, the nurse Is left
to her own resources for her midnight
meal, which, under such circumstances,
she Is apt to prepare In a half-hearted
way and eat 'It in hurried bites. Usual
ly, there is no maid attendant upon
these meals, but they are prepared by
the night superintendent, assisted at
times by a nurse from some ward re
quiring' little attention and the nurses,
waiting upon themselves, find this hour
a rest and recreation from which they
can return with lighter spirits to meet
the hardest part of tho night's work
hard when the patients are many and
ill, because in those still early morn
ing hour life ebbs very slowly indeed
and the utmost vigilance is required of
the watcher who must note every
change of countenance which may indi
cate that help is needed hard, too,
when tho work is light, for then comes
trie difficult task of keeping awake.
No matter how wakeful one is before
midnight, the first hours of the new
day bring an overwhelming drowsi
ness which only active labor can over
come. In some wards it is the duty of
the night nurse to replenish solutions,
prepare packages of dressings for ster
ilization, clean the medicine closets, re
label bottles, and" see that empty ones
are put Into a basket to be sent to tho
druggist for refilling; but to leave
these duties for performance after mid
night Is very 'foolish, since emergencies
by the score aro then sure to occur
nnd our nurse has no creditable report
to make when 7.30 brings her head
nurse.
