Thk dt ath of Graeia a year or two ago
was a calamity to the Cubans. He was
ono of the islanders w ho knew rhe ob

the Americans, and he frequently and
conspicuously called the attention of the
Cubans to them. ' However, tho Gracia
view has yet a chance to assert itself.

Commkntiso on the origin of I lie name
of Half Kock, a Missouri post otlice, the
Kansas City Journal says that it is not to
be accounted for by any peculiarity of the
physical features ot the place, as might be
supposed. It seems that oue of the first
buildings erected theie was a general
store, the proprietor of which sold such
bad sugar that his customers declared it
to be "half rock." The term was in
course of time applied to tho store it-self.

The Baltimore Sun says that the lake
of asphalt in Venzuela over w hich two
Anieticnn syndicate are squabbling, isa
possession worth lighting for. The sup
ply is incxhaustalile, and the lake, as de
scribed by one who ha seen it, is a huge,
oi.n-K sea ol wealth stretching out as far
as the eye can reach. Tho excavations
till up as rapidly as the workmen leave
them, and no amount of reasonable work
In taking out asphalt can produce a vis
ible diminution of the supply. It isa
well of wealth that never overflows and
Is always filled to the brim. Its upcom
ing is wrapped in mystery, its birth time
is unknown. It is impossible to estimate
Its actual value as a mercantile commo
dity, and to say at hazard that it is worth
hundreds of billions ofdollars is not put
ting the figures too liiiih.
Porto Rirv&itNAYri.
Senator Foraker, who has received a
long letter from Governor Alien, of Por-
to moo, is highly please I over the result
of the first legislative session In that is
land under American rule. It is a com
plete vindication of the measure tut the
government ofthe island that Mr. For
aker put through the Senate, and it is also
a vindication of the much abused tariff
law lor Porto Itico.
Under that taritf law the Porto Kico
Legislative Assembly had the power lo
provide for free-trade between Porto Ki
co and tho I'nited States wheuever it de
vised a measure to raise the necessary re
venue in soineotber way than by tariff
duties. Tho matter was entirely in the
bands ol the people of Porto Hico.
The wholesale falsehoods told in cer
tain American newspapers about the ter
rible hardships of the tariff on the peo
pie of the island and their great indigna
tion against it are now shown in their
true light by the action of the Porto Rico
Legislature. While it had the power it
never for one moment considered a prop
osition lo repeal the tarifflaw.
Some speeches were made on the sub
ject and they were all to the efiect that
the low tariff imposed purely for revenue
purposes for the benefit of Porto Rico
was the best way lo raise rerenuo at the
present time, and the Legislature decided
to continue it, thus Vindicating the action
of Congress,
All the evidence coming from Porto
Rico goes to show that it is becoming
rapidly prosperous and is now in a much
bett-r condilion than it has beeD for
many years, despite the injurious efiects
of the hurricane. Governor Allen says
that there never was a time when so
many people were em ployed on the Is
land at good wages as at the present
time, and that the general condition of
the ma-ses was never tetter nor were
they ever so contented as at the present
time.
Senator Koraker feels greatly delighted
over the situation In Porlo Rico.
IrfiTernor Hone ami the Schools.
The lant Legislature was ho lavish with
lis appropriations that Governor Stone
reduced the amount given to the public
schiKi s rroui tlI,(XO,(siO to $10,0o0,000. j
Kvtn at the latter figure Pennsylvania I
has giving more for public education j
than any oilier male, not excepting New I
Yuk. lie did not cut this million oil be-ofh;s.-,j.,,o.,.tioii
to lllfc school., but
be. :iu-o it was absolutely nrces-ary to do
so, as he thought, if the ex enditnres
were to be kept within tho income.
Ever since the Governor has been
hounded by men politically ppmeJ to
him, and hounded, too, in the most out
rageous manner. The schools have got
along very well iu the past two years, no
particular harm has been done and sensi
ble men have understood the Governor's
position fully. Only a few days ago In
llarrisburg the school directors of the
state passed a resolution declaring that
"this organiration recognizes in his Ex
cellency, Governor William A. Stone, a
true ami enthusiastic friend ol the public
school system, and feels that all legisla
tion f. r the improvement and promotion
of the system has his earnest support and
will receive his hearty and conscientious
approval."
If the Governor's political opponents
thought that they could make any great
impression upon the people at large they
have been mistaken, but they have been
declaring that the Governor's acts wero
unconstitutional, and they were very
much annoyed the other day when Judge
Love, of Centre county, after bearing the
arguments on both sides, decided that the
Governor was fully justified. Now tho
case is to go to the Supreme Court, und
the Ulh of March has been fixed for the
heaiug.
The only question at issue is the right
of the Governor to cut the amount of the
appropriat Ions. It is not disputed in any
quarter that he has a perfect right to re
ject a full item, but it is the division ofsn
item that is the subject of controversy.
If it is unconstitutional to do this, then
many unconstitutional things base been
done in the past, for Governor Stone is
but following precedents. Governor
Heaver reduced appropriations, so did
Governor Pattison and so did Governor
Hastings. It is a little singular that the
question of constitutionality has not been
raised until this late day. Mila. iiiitnV-

Dear Sir: One coat ofDevoeis better
than two of mixed paint.
The American House, at TannersviUe
(Catskill MLs.), N. Y, Chas. L. WilUe,
had two coats of Mixtd Paint five years
ago; last spring bad two more coat of
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but got
his Mixed Paint a few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles llaner
painted one coatol Devoe at the same
time last spring.
The Haner house is the belter job ; but
wail five years.
The point of the story Is thatJWiltso is
sorry already. He has learned so i ething
that not one man in a thousand knows
that a gallon of one kind of paint can
contain twice as much paint as a gallon
of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even if you have it given to you.
1 At tho Kama time, you see, that Mixed
Paint appears to havo worn five years
give tl.e devil his due.
Yours truly,

ALOIKhS,
Kdilor Rt'ublicriH:
All day Feb. 10th we sailed the Med
iterranean. Toward night the shores of
Africa appeared. I was awakened at
daylight by an inlinito clatter, tho run
ning of ropes and pulleys, etc. I went on
deck and saw before me the city of Al
giers, covering the slopes ot a semi-circle
range of hills, thousands of its Arab pop
ulation squirming about on the quay in
front of the city and hundredsjofjnear ves
sels loading or unloading all sorts of
meichaudise. After breakfast we has
tened ashore and passing through masses
of half-dressed and awful dirty Arabs we
found (he carriago stand and getting on
four wheels drove up a broad incline to
the elevated boulevard and then through
the city to the suburbs. My precon
cievedidcaof Algiers had to be changed
as toon as I saw ti e city. It is now on
its main street practically a French city,
with streets after street of fine massive
business blocks. Trolly cars, American
make run to all principal points. Every
where French is spoken and the flist dav
I was with a fellow passenger who could
taik French, so we had no trouble. But
t lie next dav I tried it alone. I got ou a
street car and they asked me iu French
where I wanted to go. 1 wanted to go to
the end of the line, but I could not make
him understand. I gave them ten cen
times and the conductor gave me a paper
with the names of two streets checked
off: the place I started from and the
place my ten centimes would take me
to. w hen we come there I wauled to pay
more and stay on, but Ibey could not un
derstand sol waa put off. I got on the
next ar and had ihe same trouble. I
saw a sign "English Tailors," and went
in nut not a word of English could they
talk. I had some buttons sewed on my
coat for which they refused to take any
thing, but this was only a bluff aa Ihey
expected to get more thereby than if
they had set a price. Algiers Is one
of the most wonderful cities of the
world. At one time It was a grand
rendezvous for outcasts and criminals
from all over the world, and Its govern
ment waa an organized piracy that prey
ed upon the commerce of Europe. At
ono time it had about 30,000 white Chris
tians in slavery. In Ihe year 1S1B an
English general, Lord Exmouth, de
stroyed their navy and in l&tOtho French
captured thoir city and country, which it
still retains. There are probably nino or
ten languages spoken in the city as the
world Is here, but probably one-naif are
Arabs, You see them by the hundieda
everywhere. The men wear long cloaks
with hoods attached. These cloaks reach
to the knoes or a little below. Their legs
are bare, but they keep their beads cov
ered with the hood. The women wear a
short cloak and wide wavy bloomers that
are gathered in above the ankle. Thoir
faces are covered with a cloth below their
eyes. White is the only color the men
and women wear, but, alas! garments
don t remain white of their own account,
so as a rule they are a dirty set. 'I here
are some beautiful palaces and gardens
here and ninny mosques and places of
interest. I visited Ihe principal place.
One mosque we entered was a large one
and upon the holy carpet which covered
the floor were probably three hunded
Moslems at prayer. They were prostrat
ed on the carpel in rows wilb their faces
towards .Mecca, and were chanting some
prayer, At times they bent forward with
their foreheads on the carpet. It seems to
us a strange sight to see them so zalous
in what to us is a false religion.
Tho gardens and parks are beautilul
here. All kinds of tropical trees, orange
and lemon trees banging full of fruit,
also dale, olive and palm trees every
where. In some of the gardens there are
grottoes with large mirrors placed so you
think they extend on forever. Flowers
of all kinds are in bloom. Whatever may
be true of the country back of Algiers
this part is a veritable garden spot and is
a great resort for Europeans.
