English Administration Of Jamaica

The EugJisli admiuistratiou of i maica is a thlng to be thankful for. There are law and order, excellent roads, oomfortable houses, adequate police, lawn tennis and cricket, plenty oí manly, eompanionable English army and navy officers and a governor who is strong, able and genial. At the same time it would be folly to maintain that the island is producing a tenth part of the wealth that is latent in soil and atmosphere, or that most of the wealth that is beginning to make its appearance is due to anything so niuch as to the American enterprise and capital which are opening up railways and cultivating frnits. Another serious fact, thougb not necessarily an unwelcome one, is that the island's 4,000 square miles contain a population of 600.000 persons, 25,000 of whom are white.-
