P e R, S might have been expected, the visit of Mr. A Cleveland to New York to attend the Tilden Club banquet has not been permitted to pass with politicians j what appeared on the sur- face. Cleveland said in his address that he attended the as an admirer of Tilden who has an ardent desire to see the Democratic party return to the Tilden platiorm. | The politicians of New York | sufficient explanation. They will have it that Cleveland went to the banquet for the scoff at that as an purpose of heading off David Bennett Hill’s effort | to obtain adership of the anti-Tammany York and the anti-Bryan cal experts in discussing the situa- | ! the banquet incident in this way: “Mr. Cleveland is fearful that the Democratic party, if it should elect a President, would fall absolutely under the domination of Hill, whom he knows so well. It was to prevent Hill's plans from coming to full fruition that he consented to speak at the open- ing of the Tilden Club. At the Tilden Club he got back into to: with many of his former friends throughout the State—men whom Hill must with him in order to wjn. * * * Mr. Cleveland does not care to prevent Hill from running the State organizat As a matter Q‘ fact, he could not ifI‘ he wanied to. But he has served notice on the sage | of Wolferts Roost that the next State convention | must be ‘unbossed.” oug That is the significance of Bor- h President Cantor’s visit to Princeton on Mon- nd his return the same night with copies of Mr. | Cleveland's speech in his pocket.” Even if that story be untrue, or badly exaggerated, the very fact that it circulates shows that within the ranks of the reorganizers themselves there are fac- tions and dissensions. Bryan is not the only Demo- crat who has a knife for Hill, nor is Tammany Hall the only foe he has to confront in his own city. There are conservative Democrats who remember his method of running the party in the old days when he had the machinery, and they are not going : to permit him to get control again if they can pre- vent it. Cleveland may not be among the number who are making the fight, but, as the New York story shows, his name is being used to help it on. While New York Democracy is thus turning ban- quets into brawls that of Ohio is engaged in equally exciting sport. The old fight between the faction of Tom L. Johnson and that of John R. McLean has broken out with new vigor. Johnson is reported to { have said recently that McLean “stands for nothing in Ohio politics. His opposition would be ‘of more benefit to the party than his support. Great num- bers of independent voters will be attracted to the Democratic party if it is known that the party will not be supported by McLean, men who would never vote with a party known to be controlled by such a man.” Of course McLean will say of Johnson about the same that Johnson has said of McLean. Thus Ohio, no more than New York, can furnish a harmony ex- ample for the party. In Illinois the row between the Harrison and the Hopkins factions is as bad as that in either of the other States. Mr. Olney has emphatically declared he is not in the race, so New England has no leader to offer. It looks as if Bryan might get another nomination by the simple process of stayi ng out of fights and letting his foes kill one However, Bryan cannot keep out of a fac- ht, and when the ruction is over his scalp, along with those of Hill, McLean, Johnson, Harri- son and Hopkins, may be found at the belt of the victor. : — It is a safe wager that even the ultra anglo-mania of our iriends at Burlingame will not lead any of them in imitative fealty to indulge in an attack of perityphilitis. One must draw the line somewhere, cven in fads. Many of the larger towns of the country are chas- ing the gamblers from their midst.

HE interplay of Cuban and American politics Thas begun. The island planters who main- tained the junta in Washington have met and by resolution urged President Palma to make a trade ! treaty with Great Britain. Great care is taken to ac- | company the announcement of this action with the statement that it is caused by the failure of our Con- gress to give the planters free access to our markets. We ‘are quite sure that the American sugor plant- ers and producers of all kinds are perfectly willing that Cuba shall make a trade treaty with England. the sugar planters of this country will be willing to meet and petition our Senate and President not to make a free trade treaty, or partial free trade treaty, | with Palma, or any reciprocity treaty that is out of | line with the Republican platform, which calls for reciprocity only affecting such things as we do not produce. Indeed we applaud the Cuban plan of initiating and influencing an economic policy. It is far supe- rior to the anomaly that has insulted our people, de- graded our institutions and injured the administra- tion jor some time past in the brazen effrontery of the War Department appearing as the authoritative ]‘ dictator of our economic legislation. | Soon will be heard the complaint that such a | treaty with England as is proposed will violate the Platt amendment. That sinister and un-American condition which we imposed upon Cuba by a prom- ise made in the War Departmeént that we would give | her free trade, or, in the evasive grandiloquence of ! phrase used, “incorporate her into our commercial | system,” provides that our consent shall be fieces- | sary to Cuba’s internatjonal action. This means that | she is to have no treaties nor trade nor relations with any nation but us! Yet we pretend that we have made her independent! ° Here appears the political interplay of which we have spoken. It at once becomes a question in our | domestic politics whether we will assent to real Cu- ban independence by abrogating the Platt amend- ment entirely. It will be observed that to let that piece of Machiavelian statesmanship stand intact, and thereunder hold Cuba’s independence subject to | our will, is to sustain the hypocritical pretense that | she is free, and to also give color of right to the as- | sertion that we are under obligations to her. No : nation is independent that is not free to treat with | all other nations or to refuse to treat with any in international conventions. The statement of the condition of independence Jefferson in our own Declaration of Independence. We violated that condition flagrantly in our French | treaty of offensive and defensive alliance made in 1778, wherein we put ourselves in exactly the- posi- tion Cuba was forced into by the Platt amendment. In 1793 we found that the suzerainty of France was incompatible with our freedom and inconsistent with our Declaration of Independence, and we proceeded to cast it off by violating the treaty of 1778 and mak- ing just such a trade treaty with Great Britain as Cuba proposes. This country was not free as long as the French treaty lasted. We were not made free by the peace treaty of 1783, and were not free when the constitu- tion of 1789 was adopted and Washington became President. What France expected to do to us and | be to us under that treaty, from which the Platt | amendment is copied, was revealed in the episode in | which the Citizen Genet figured so largely. Sent here as the diplomatic representative of France, he landed at Charleston and proceeded to make a sort of imperial progress through the country, assuming the airs and authority of a Lord Paramount, as the representative of our suzerain. He was bundled | back to France and we tore the treaty in tatters. One republic should not be suzerain over another. Let the Platt amendment be abrogated, or fall into innocuous desuetude. Mr. Schwab, in presenting a new hall to the acad- | said to have stated that he made the gift partially as a reparation for the apples he stole from the people in the neighborhood during his schooldays; and if all' the steel trust men begin to act on such motives there is going to be a boom in academy building in this country. \;\, the legislation that was expected of it at this session, it has done enough to assure it 2 high place in the annals of American history. Without counting lesser measures of importance to the country at this time, the enactment of two such bills as those providing for the irrigation of the arid lands of the West and the construction of the isth- mian canal in itself gives to this Congress a rank that will make it memorable for all generations to come. We have for so long a time been engaged in advo- cating the construction of a canal and the irrigation of arid lands that now that victory has come it finds the people comparatively indifferent. The pleasures of success, in fact, have been to a large extent anti- cipated. With each succeeding Congress since first the contest began something has been gained by the promoters of each of the two enterprises, and con- sequently when this Congress assembled it was al- most a foregone conclusion that we would have at least one of the two amply provided for. In fact, so certain were the masses of the people that the time for the enactment of an isthmian canal bill had come that failure to pass it would have been counted as a neglect of duty. The country, therefore, accepts the act very much as a matter of course, and has not felt the exultation over the victory that would have been felt some years ago had success been attained A GREAT CONGRESS. HILE this Congress has not enacted all There appears no reason to doubt that the irriga- tion bill will prove as conducive and perhaps as potent to the upbuilding of the arid West as was the homestead bill to the settlement of the prairie States. Its good results are to be widely spread, far-reach- ing and permanent. For a time of course the work of providing irrigation will not progress rapidly, but when the improved lands are put upon the market and the revenues derived from them pass into the treasury to be used for further irrigation and the im- provement of additional lands, the settlement of the now arid States can hardly fail to progress with rapidity. The construction of the isthmian canal will of course help on the work of Western development. Those who are best fitted to calculate beforehand the probable effects of the proposed waterway upon the fortunes of the Pacific Coast of the United States have been uniformly sanguine of great bene- dfits. With their speculations and estimates the pub- I]i | communities the palm for conservatism in all things | States to Africa during the month of April were | that it will be overdon is familiar, and the m:iversal expectation is that we shall bave a veritable néw era in our history with the completion of a route which . will practically change our geographical situation so far as ocean commerce is concerned. + In short, the two measures are of such importance to the whole country and are fraught with such vast possibilities of future trade and industry that expec- tation may run high of good results to come. It is surely a notable thing that two such measures should have been enacted at a single session of Congress, and the Congress that has achieved it can well point with pride to its record. A —— T Massachusetts holds rightly, perhaps, in American material, but when she does cut loose she puts frills on the boasted achievements of the rest of us. The. lady who confessed that in her capacity as trained nurse she murdered thirty persons would make a Borgia blush with envy. EXPORTS TO AFRICA. HILE the British Governament is figuring how to provide for the settlement of af- trade and industry our own _Government has the | more satisfactory task of noting that American com- merce with that country has shown a marked in- increase in the immediate future, According to a statement just issued by the Treas- ury Bureau of Statistics exports from the United e e ———— VYV fairs in South Africa and the restoration of crease during the past year and promises a larger larger than those to all South America, and were more than 5o per cent greater than those of April in the preceding year. For the ten months ending with April, 1902, they amounted to $28,056,179, against $22,070,132 in the corresponding ten months of the fiscal year 1901, and $15,858,286 in the corresponding’ months of 1900. The chief increase of course is to British Africa, which takes about 85 per cent of our exports to Africa. To British Africa alone our ex- ports during the month of April, 1902, were $2,763,- 833, against $1,817,fo1 in April, 1901; and for the ten months ending with April, 1902, were $24,708,612, against $18,437,315 in ten months of 1901 and $13,- 168,062 in ten months of 1900. In addition to the figures cited the bureau Teports also a statement made by a leading merchant to the British South African " Export Gazette concerning the prospects for future ‘trade. - He is quoted as say- ing: “With the advent of peace there will undoubt- edly be a great boom all through the country. A lull consequent on the removal of part of the military forces and the refugees may perhaps affect the trade of Cape Town, which is, and always will remain, more or less local, and concerned with the western districts of Cape Colony; but no such effect will be felt else- where, for it will be necessary for some considerable time to keep a large military force in the country, and this will as a consequence involve a continuance of a considerable amount of ~ military expenditure, Large camps will be set up at certain points.- I have no doubt as to the certainty of the boom which will supervene after the war, but my only misgiving is that, with every one rushing in to secure a share, it will be overdone, 2nd a reaction set in.” A notable feature of the report is the estimate of the merchant that Cape Town will not be able to hold the position of leading pert of the country. In fact, he says “Cape Town is out of the reckoning.” He believes Durban will get the great bulk of the in- terior trade and become the commercial metropolis. In conclusion he says: “Taking South Africa as a whole, the country will go ahead in coming years and a big future lies before it. As to the immediate trade outlook, the impressions gathered from my visit are distinctly hopeful, tinctured with the fear ” Lord Charles Beresford’s free and easy manner of criticizing the British naval office sounds odd to an American, where a rear admiral is not permitted to talk above a whisper. If Beresford had to serve un- der Roosevelt there would be a stormy time in the world, ‘ the State Department with a report on af- fairs at that city which, while not so glowing as some of the boom reports occasionally given out, presents, on the other hand, a much more favorable showing for the city and the surrounding country than has been made in some statements recently published. In the first place the Consul says the report that a business panic prevails at Dawson and that the miners are deserting the creeks “is false.” He adds: “From personal investigation I am able to say that the business men of this community have the utmost confidence in the future of the territory and are mak- ing preparations for a busy season. I have within the past few weeks visited all the creeks on which the principal mining claims are located, to wit, Bonanza, El Dorado, Dominion, Sulphur, Gold Run and Hunker, and I find that mining operations are progressing satisfactorily and are being conducted with modern machinery and improved methods, re- sulting in a much larger output of pay dirt than in former years.” The Canadian Government has done a good deal to facilitate the development of the territory by the construction of roads, and the Consul reports that every important creek or other locality within a radius\of fifty miles has now beén made accessible from Dawson by a good wagon road. At the close of 1901 there were over 196 miles of such roads in use, and additional mileage is being constructed. These will of course greatly facilitate the develop-" ment of the gold fields, and, taken in connection with the improved methods of mining, will add to the profits obtained from the industry. The chief drawback to Dawson at presentsis the increasing cost of fuel. The wood in the neighbor- hood and along the river is being rapidly consu: & Last winter the price was $15 per cord uncut and - sawed, so that the cost to the consumer averaged about $22 a cord. Persistent search is being made for coal and for the gold-bearing quartz, and in time both will doubtless be discovered. Then Dawson will enter upon a new era of development and have an assured future for many years to come. b ——— AFFAIRS AT DAWSON.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY 2612343507090, 7, g d {0 g 8 » INVENTION OF MARTIN ARMSTRONG, A TEXAS STATION AGENT, BY WHICH, WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF TELEGRAPHY, ONE MAY M ———— ARTIN ARMSTRONG, station agent on the Gulf, Colqrado and Santa Fe road at Kenny, Tex., has invented an appliance by which any person may tsend a telegraphic messag> without knowing anything about teleg- raphy. The apparatus is intenced primarily for use in educating people to be telegraphers, and with it they can, without a teacher, master the secret of dots and dashes that go to make up each letter of the alphabet ac- cording to the Morse system. The outfit, which can be carried in the hand, consists of a sounder key, such as is used in all telegraphic work, a small dry battery, a transmitter, stylus and the wires that cannect the various parts. It is the transmitter that is the wonderful thing about the whole apparatus. This is simply a plece of Wood about 12 inches long and 8 wide. Extending along one side of the board are ail the letters of the alphabef, followed by the numerals 1 to 0 and the pune- tuation characters. or depression in the wood. Under each one of these characters there is a little hola Below these holes again there is a geometrical pat- tern formed by strips of metal set into the wood, with a minute groove lead- .ing from each character through the metal strips and the wood that at intervals breaks their continuity. The stylus, which looks like an ordinary pencil, and all the other parts of the apparatus are connected with the batte: paratus on a table before him and takes the stylus in his hand. point in the groove running from the letter he wishes to make, he ward him.

His mind is removed from his food, when it should be centered upon it, unless| he is engaged in conversation which is not argumentative.
