-Sir William Van Borne, who
has just returned from Cuba, an-
. nounces that his railway in that
country is now open. It is 500
miles long, and gives abundant
passenger and freight accommoda-
tion to the whole of the eastern
part of the island. The prospects
of the future prosperity of the Cu-
bans are, says Sir William, of the
William, of the brightest. The
Government, he adds, which start-
ed with an empty treasury, is a
great success, and to -day reports a
surplus of $1,500,000. SirWilliam
Van Horne and his associates built
the Cuban railway without a cent
of subsidy. They even bought
their right of way across the island.
If the Cubans had subsidized this
railway at the same rate as we sub-
sidized the C. P. R., their treasury
would now be an empty one, and
they would 'have a heavy debt upon
their shoulders. -[Weekly Sun.

HAVE LEAN YEARS BEGUN ?
(Toronto World.)
Mr. Henry Clews, the New York
financier, considers that without
doubt the summit
ofthe prosperity
wave in the United States has been
passed and that a partial reaction
has begun. Declining profits are
becoming more numerous and the
volume of business when quantities
are used for comparisons is not so
gratifying. In stooks prices have
undergone a very remarkable de-
cline compared with the highest of
the last few years, many of the ac-
tive railways' stocks showing losses
of ten to twenty points, and some
have declined twenty or thirty
points more. Industrials show even
greater losses. The money situa-
tion has improved, call money is
easier and bank reserves are rising
as a. result of the forced contraction
in loans, and of the fact that scant
consideration is now given to pro-
jects that would have been eagerly
taken up two months ago. Im-
mense sums are still locked up in
syndicate operations, and it is said
to be fully realized that the coun-
try has escaped a serious crisis
through nothing but good luck, or,
in other words, through a good
harvest. The situation is made
more complex by threatened labor
troubles. Labor, says Mr. Clews,
has already received many conces-
sions in shorter hours and higher
wages during the last few years,
and a much larger share of corpor-
ation earnings has gone to labor in
making improvements than to
stockholders in the form of increas-
ed dividends, We can believe that
the disastrous effects of the late
coal strike have not been fully felt,
and that the consequences of high-
priced fuel will shortly be seen in
diminished profits to the producer
and higher prices to the consumer
of manufactured goods. Mr. Clews
thinks that some very valuable les-
sons in economics are being learned
just now in the costly school of ex-
perience.
THE REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA
The action of Britain and Ger-
many to enforce their claims on
Venezuela, brings this little Re-
public into special notice, and the
following information will be time-
ly :-
Perhaps in the world's history
no country has seen so many revo-
lutions as Venezuela. During a life
of seventy years that country has
had over 100 revolutions and many
exterior wars.
Venezuela, situated as it is, on
the north coast of South America,
trades to a great extent with the
West Indies, exporting mainly
cocoa, timber, cattle and hides.
Compulsory education is in a de-
cidedly backward state.
There is a standing army of
nearly 4,000 men, supported in
time of need by the national mili-
tia, consisting of 60,000 all told.
Caracas, the capital, and La
Guayra, the chief seaport, are con-
nected by a railway, which is said
to be a marvel of engineering skill.
Throughout an area of 53,000
square miles, at present only 500
miles of railway are in a working
condition,
• The last dispute between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain was over
the boundary line between that
country and British Guiana,which,
however, was settled by the award
of the arbitration tribunal, deliver-
ed in October, 1800.
Being a Republic, Venezuela's
natural ruler is a J?resIclent, -tvho is
elected for two years by the Con-
gress, consisting of two houses, the
Senate and the 'l'ouse of Represen-
tatives. The former consists of 24
members, elected by the Legisla-
tures of each State, while the latter
consists of 52 members, elected di-
rectly, one member to every 35,000
of population.
