It is of irregular crescent shape, is 730 miles long and has an average Width of 80 miles and an area of 41.319 square miles._ Although mountainous in the interior. much of the eoast line is low and flat and difficult of approach on account of the numerous reefs and small islands. Notwithstanding this feature of the coast, it is said that no other island in the world has as many excel- ] nt harbors in proportion to its >IZ(‘. Of these. Havana. Mutunzar. Bahia Honda, Mariel, Neuvitas, Nipe and Cardenas, on the north side, and Santi’ ago de Cuba, 'l‘rinidud, Guantanamo and Cicnfuegos, on the south side, are the principal and best known. Cuba is divided into six provinces. Havana be- in;_r the most thickly populated and Puerto Principe the least. The total population of the island before the pres- ent insurrection was more than 1,600.- 000. A large part of the island is in a high state of cultivation, but there are no less than 20,000,000 acres ol'almost impenetrable forest. 1" lly 13.000.000 of which have never been disturbed by man. But the soil which has been cul- tivated is marvelously rich and produc- tive. To what extent this is so isshown by the fact that, notwithstanding the discouragements to industrial enter- piiscs throuuh the misrule of Spain, the exports in 1893 were valued at over 89 000,000 Spunidi dollars. The idea that Cuba is entirely on healthy is a great mistake. The fact is that. the greater part. 0! the Hand. un- der nnruml conditions-fits a Vt'l'y healthy region. and the sicklv district could be made healthy by proper drainage The c imaie is not as disagreeable as most people think. The highest temperature is rarely ever 82 degrees, and the aver- age the year round is 77 degrees. The chief aericullural producm are suzur, coffee and tobacco, of which the United States takes the greater part. In 1893. for example. there were 8l5.894 tons cl sugar pro-laced. of which 718.204 tons were. exnortcd, the United States taking 680.024 Ions. Of 227.000 bales of to- bacco exported tW---tlill'tls went to that countrr, together with more than hall the 147 305.000 cigars made. But while the export looted up to a total of 89.000.000 Spanish dollars. and the imports 56,000,000, the taxation on the people reached nearly 25,000,000 ‘Span- isli dollars. Of this sum.- which is more than one-sixth the combined Value of the imports and exports. less than one-hall came from customs and one- lutlrtll of the whole goes directly to Spain.

Even the army is now honeycombed with Social. ism. And why should not Socialism flourish where an Emperor has a fortune of 325.000.000â€"has twenty-two royal palaces â€" has forty-eight farmsâ€"has fourteen forestsâ€"has eight vineyards and a royal porcelain factory near Boia lin? Why should it not flourish when hundreds of the employees of this man receive a remuneration of $12, $15 and $20 a month? Socialism is growing in Britain, and why should it not. when all the children and grandchildren of :i multi-millionairc queen have been supported by the Par. linment -â€" the People â€"â€"ot' England ? Why should it not very rapidly grow when the best Queen the world has ever knownâ€"one of the best women of herdayâ€"has not. enough motherhood to cure and provide for her own chil- dren ? Socialism in America is advancing with rapid and gigantic strides. And why should it not advance where injus- tice is kingâ€"where. selfishness rules and where the love of money and position has destroyed the better instincts of the people ? Why should it not in Canada as well as in the Uniled States continue to increase in influence and numbers when governments are so corruptâ€"- when legislators are untrue to the trust repom‘d in themâ€"when, year after year, the struggle to obtain a livelihood grows more and more difficultâ€"when the in- terests of the few are considered and the wellaro of the many is unheeded. Socialism lived two thousand years ago. and Socialism lives now. Now, as then. the Man Christ influenced the comâ€" mon people to love Himâ€"to love each other.~-â€"C’itizcn and Country. - How Navvies are Treated. IV. Richards and J. Conn, both of Halifax. who have been working on the Crow's Nest; Pass Railway, have re- turned to Winnipeg from the scene of construction. They walked the whole distance. Among other things Richards says: “When we had worked a month we were told that we had to pay one cent. per mile for railway fare from Halifax. which left us largely in debt; after that time, having to purchase blankets, bedding and other things we did not. expect. Six weeks later the sub-contractor skipped out and left. us without a cent. but it did not matter much, as it. would under favorable cir- cumstances have taken six months to have got clear of debt. We all left in (lei)! and had to keep clear of the line for fear of being arrested. All were afraid of Contractor I'Iatiey,'and dare not give proper evidence before the Commissioners. The Commissioners were not in a position to report as to the true state of affairs.” 0-0- lonathan and John Bull. The 0u(luolc. N. Y.. thus expresses itself on Aiiuio-Aliicricnn relationship : “ Jonathan and John Bull are like two brothers Workiuuadjoinin: farms. They have tifl's now and then, of course. But. at b0ttom they like and respect each other. That is no reason. ll'IWCVt'I‘, for going into partnership. Each knows that. his business is b in managed apart. But woe betide the rural tyrant who thinks to gain an advantage over one of the brothers because he manages his furni‘ alone. The other will instantly ut his strength and his purse at his i'elativc’s disposal.
