July number of the San Juan News.
It is a thirty-two-page number and is
of particular interest to the people of
the United States at this time, con
taining, as it does, a full resume of the
resources and manufactures of the dif
ferent provinces of Porto llico. An
elaborate program was carried out on
the Fourth.
KEFORMS WITH (OUU RESULTS
The adoption by the comptroller of
the currency of more stringent meas
ures for bank examinations is said to
have already had good results. The
purpose of the reform is protection of
the public against bad bank manage
ment, at a time when the expansion
of credit may lead to unwise methods
and investments. The comptroller feels
that the present tendency to centralize
business in the form of trusts, chang
ing radically the character of the paper
presented to banks for discount and
for advances, imposes increased vigi
lance upon his office in the scrutiny of
bank management aad loans and cer
tainly this view will be appreciated by
tho business public as well as by the
stockholders of banks.
Important results are expected from
the system of staff examinations, in
bringing all the examiners up to the
standai-d of the best. It is not intended
to impeach the character or efficiencj
of the rcgulwr examiners, but the
comptroller believes it to bo a proper
business precaution to subject their
work to the test of comparison with
thai of other members of the staff.
One instance is cited where a new man
was put to work in the district of a
V9teran examiner, with the result that
conditions were found in several banks
which called for the action of the
comptroller, due to the fact that the
old examiner had been misled by his
willingness to accept at its face value
the favorable exhibit made by the
bank officers.
The reforms instituted by Comp
troller Dawes may not meet with the
approval of all bank officers, but there
is no doubt that they will prove to ie
in tho interest of the public and the
tendencv of that will bo tj strengthen
confidence in tho hanks. Boe.
SEWS FROM THE DISMAL SWAMt.
It ia reported that a firm of lumber
manufacturers of Virginia has pur
chased the famous Dismal Swamp,
which extends through southeast Vir
ginia and northeast North Carolina,
about two-thirds of the way between
Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle
Sound, eays the New York Sun. Tha
purpose is to drain the area and re
cover tho fallen cedar that has been
perfectly preserved under the swamp
waters. A still greater and more per-
inanently useful renult of drainage will
be to reclaim a large area of fertile
land .
Our government has been spending
much money to develop irrigation in
tho bemi-arid regions in order to add
thorn to our productive farm lands as
fur ns available water resources will
permit. Hut while large parts of the
swamp lands of the South Atlnnlic
states, when reclaimed, will bo even
more valuable th;.n tho irrigated
lands, .area for area, the federal gov
ernment cannot participate in the
work. for they are all within tho limits
of the thirteen original states, which
retained control of their lands. The
swam .b are not a part of the national
holdings. Their reclamation must be
c irried out by the ttates or by private
enterpri.su.
The Goological survey has estimated
the extentol the swamp lands through
out the country that may bo reclaimed
for agricultural purposes at over 100,
000 Fquaro miles, or double tho area of
New York state. Nearly all our lands
that aro immediately fit for the plough
are now in private hands and we are
resorting to lands that may be made
available for tillago by drainage or
irrigation. Europe has had similar
work in hand for centuries. About
one-twentieth of her entire tillable
area has thus been reclaimed. A fifth
of the most fertilo lands of Hngland
and Ireland wei o once such bog dis
trict as we tlnd along our South At
lantic coast.
This lumber company wishes to re
cover tho cedar logs from the mud and
water of Dismal Swamp because nearly
all the timber lit for manufacture ai d
export has now been cut by woodmen
r destroyed by fire, and is not being
replaced to any large extent by later
forest growth. Ten years ago tho
lumber product of the Dismal Swamp
was worth about $50,000 a year. Is
value has been decreasing since th'it
time. It was estimated in J.KX7 that
the timner product of this swamp
would never bo worth over $100,000 a
year, while if tho land wore fitted for
agriculture the value of its product
would pro bard i' exceed $2,000,(00 a
year. It adjoins the Norfolk district
which has long supplied several mil
lions of people between the James
river and the coast of Maine with a
considerable part of tho vegetables
thoy eat.
A It LOW AT CIMIII (KIVKKNMK.NT.
The following, from Wednesday's
World-llerald with reference to tho
failure to secure tho release of Mrs.
Maybrick is apropos of tho release of
John "lien well" Karnes, tho murderer
of Mattes Akeson:
"If she lives Mrs Maybrick will bo
released from prison in 1000. But
there is a good lesion in the case of
this unfortunate wrmm. In this coun
try it is entirely too easy to secure
the release of men and women con
victed of grave crimes. And on the
other hand it is tro hard to convict
men and women who are undoubtedly
guilty of law bro:'.kinLr. It is just and
proper that ovary possible safeguard
should be thrown around the life and
liberty of one accused of crime, but it
has com'! to pass in this country that
even se.lf-cunfessed criminals manage
to escape the law through "techni
cality," and failing in this they ent:'
prison and proceed to secure releases
through powerful political pulls. The
people of Nebra:ka have had recently
examples of these things, and the
peopie at large hav e had good example
of the power of a political pull to pre
vent justice being meted out to a con
victed criminal."
It has been charged against the ex
ecutives of the various states that a
min with money or friends with a pull
need never so: ve a sentence for his
crimes, but in the case ot Den-
wc'lt"' it could not have been
money. What maudlin sentiment
prompted the act wo do not known,
but we do know that a strong blow
was struck at good government and
reoect for law by the rcleabo of this
abandoned criminal.
TIIE TK.tJISVAAL CONCESSIONS.
According to the latest information
the situation in tho Transvaal is still
somewhat acute, though the dauger
of very serious trouble between the
Boer government and Great Britain
is much less than it appeared to be
two weeks ago, says the Beo It is
stated that tho concessions offered by
President Kruycr, who has to some
extent yielded to the persuasions of
the Cape Colony and tho Orange Free
state, aro not satisfactory to the Uit
iandcrs and it remains to bo seen
whether tho British government will
will side with the latter.
The plan o' franchise reorm as
sented to bv President Kruger and
which will probably bo ratified by the
Transvaal legislature provides for tho
immediate enfranchisement of all Uit-
landers who havo lived in the Trans
vaal since before 1S00, all others to be
enfranchised after a residence of
seven years. 1 he nrst provision is in
accordance with the demand of tho
British commissioner, while the sec
ond makes the period of residence two
years longer than was suggested by
the commissioner. The proposed plan
is a compromise, in which the Boer
government yields quite as much or
more than the British. Other pro-
1 visions are that the franchise is to be
absolute and that thoso receiving it
will not bo compelled to renounce al
legiance to Great Britain, President
Krucer having yielded in both re
spects. The plan is, on the whole, a reason
able ono and the Uitlanders will lose
much of the sympathy that has been J
aroused in their behalf if the seri
ously oppose it. It is not probable
that the Boer government will make
any further concessions.

called Grain-O. It is a delicious, an-
petizing, nourishing food drink to take
the place of coffee. When properly
prepared it tastes like the finest cof
fee but is free from all its injurious
properties. Grain-O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. It is not
a stimulant but a health builder, and
children, as well as adults, can drink
it with great benefit. Costs about one
fourth as much as coffee. 15 and 25c.

"I said to Senator Gallinger in 1895

This was on October 10. Between that
time and October 17 I heard that an

federal officers. Governor Busied at;kd
me if I knew of this a.iHt-Hsment. He
said he had reason to believe that a
circular for assessment had been sent
to office holders, ami he produced a
circular which had neen rent to rtate.

had been sent to federal oHicors. We
had a long conference, ti.e result of
which was that he said he would com
plain to the civil service commission
unless some way could be found to
prevent these officers from being iut

my knowledge, asked th rommis-don
about the terms of the law. Jle cainw
to me later and suid that he had de
termined to make a comp'aliit. In this
I concurred, and the letter of Oet'iber
24 was prepared, ci.taining the nurnea
of those to whom 't was believed that
the circular had been sent. I did riot
go again to the commission during the
campaign. The rest of my connection
with the business was ail in the cor
respondence with the commission. I
called on the commission when I went
to Washington lant fall, and told them
that I would he at tnelr service. This
is substantially all I wibh to say. If I
find that the federal office holders who

if they tome and do not testify, I shall
tell the commission all I know about
