Work for the Diploma tists.

1T is not very often that the attention OF
the country is directed towards the State
Department. Just now, however, the
Secretary OF State has two matters on
hand which are of very general interest.
One ia the Cutting case and the other is
the fishery trouble with Canada.
For the Cutting case the Secretary has
pursued course which meets the ap-
proval of the country and Congress. AL
though there is not much sympathy with
Cutting, yet this government cannot af-
ford to permit one of its citizens to be ar
rested and punished in Mexico for
an alleged oGense committed in
the United States. II this
country were to permit Mexico to do
anything of that kind any American clti-
zen who has written and published some
thing in this country Objectionable to the
Mexican government, or to a Mexican
Official or citizen, would be in danger of
arrest and punishment If he should visit
Mexico. The question involved in the
Cutting case must be settled at once, and
so thoroughly that it Will be a precedent
in all future cases of the same kind. The
gress and will doubtless proceed to ex-
IRENE measures if necessary to secure
Cuttings release.
The fishery question drags along with
out much prospect of an early settle
ment. The State Department keeps up
correspondence about it with the English
government, but 1t does not appear that
much progress towards a settlement is
being made. Would it not be a good idea
to use retaliatory measures? The Cana
dams continue to discriminate against
our fishermen, and why should
not this country shut its
ports to Canadian vessels which
visit them to dispose Of their stocks OF
fish. If those vessels were shut out of
our ports it would not be very long before
the Canadian fishermen would make such
an cutlery that the privileges which our
| fishermen enjoyed until within the last
few months would be restored to them.
The President has the authority TO close
our ports to Canadian fishing vessels.
There is another thing that might be
done that would tend to bring the Cana
dams to a clear understanding Of what is
due to our fishermen, and that is TO pro-
hibit their railway cars from entering
this country. Representative Collins in
troduced bill into Congress day or two
ago authorizing the President to forbid
Canadian cars from entering the territory
of the United States.
While settlement of the fishery ques-
ton may be reached in the course of time
by the diplomatists, action like that sug-
gested might hurry up the settlement.

Take Care OF Your Business and 1t
Will Take Care of You,

from bte fhtCdueLDhtG Tunes.
"Why are you more successful in horse rae
ing than these wealthy men, who have un
limited capital to purchase horses and bet ON
them?' was recently asked of one of the
Dryer brothers.
"Simply because we make this our business,
We look after our stables ourselves and give
personal supervision over our horses We do
not interfere with our trainers unless they 70
against our Judgment. Then we have our
way. we DO not trust anybody's opin ION but
our own, and we know for ourselves the con .
ditlon OF our horses and Just exactly what
they can do. They are also run strictly upon
their merits. Then we buy the best take the
best possible care of them, and start our
horses under the beat possible conditions We
never ask trainer what our horses can
DO. We make IL business TO know our
selves Just exactly the shape they are
in. In other words, we do this business lust
exactly rs we would any other. Ever since
we began To run horses we have applied to il
exactly the same business rules that are in
separable from successful conduct OF any
business matter. If we did the way the
wealthy men do we wouldn't have any stable
at all. II we drove down here Just before the
races ana looked our stock over, and then
went over TO the track and amused ourselves
Tor the afternoon and returned TO New York
IN the evening, 1T wouldn't be a great while
before somebody else would have our horses,
because we are obliged TO accumulate our
Dank account from the performances OF the
animals we buy, train and run. The wealthy
men Win capital are content with the sport
ana comfort they get out OF their stablsa, and
nave the resources TO repenish them, wheth r
they make money or not. II has become "A
popular thing TO talk OF the Dryers luck.
Ihere Is no chance in whatever success we
may have, IL has simply come from hard
work and attention to business, In fact. I

From the Chicago Ne'rs

FIRM. the Chicago Ne'ps.
Since the days Of old Adam the welkln has
rung
With the praises OF sweet scented posies,
And poets in rapturous phrases nave sung
The paramount beauty OF roses.
Wheresoever she 'bIdes, whether nesting in
lanes
Or grazing the proud urban bowers,
The red, reval rose her distinction maintains
AS the one regnant queen among flowers.
How joyous are we of the West when we
find
That Fate, with her gifts ever chary.
Has decreed that the rose, who ID queen OF
her kin
Shall bloom on our wild Western pralrles.
Let us laugh at the East as an impotent thing
With envy and jealousy crazy,
While grateful Chicago is happy to sing
In praise of the rose: she's daley.

California and Florida ComDared.
great deal Is heard about California
as fruit growing State, and it must be
admitted that some very fine fruit grows
there; but is it not a fact that growing
fruit in that state is n rather pr06tless
husinessg Almost all the fruit growing
counties have to depend upon irrigation
for water, and to get water in that way is
a heavy tax upon the land. After the
water is obtained IL does not always
accomplish what 1t is intended 1t shall.
The soil is very heavy, and under it there
is a sort of hard pan which holds the
water, and the result is that the trees aud
vines suffer great damage. The trouble
is that by the irrigation system the soil is
kept too dry or too wet, and the only way
to remedy this condition of affairs is by an
expensive system Of drainage. To meet
the expense Of irrigation and drainage
would take about all the profits OF the
fruit crops.
California has long boosted of its supe-
rlority to Florida as an orange growing
State, but there is very little foundation
for this Boosting. Florida may have a
freeze once in a long while to contend
with, but she does not need either irriga-
ton or drainage, and her oranges are
equal to those grown In any other part OF
the world. Other fruits besides oranges
are raised proftably in Florida, and Flor
ida vegetables find ready market in all
OF the great cities Of the North and West.
With all her Boosting California is hardly
the equal of Florida Tor the cultivation of
fruits and vegetables.

Gen. Beaver, the Republican candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, is the
President of an iron and nail company
which has some stores on which the en-
ployes are given orders or tickets Tor
their wages TO be paid in goods. The fact
has been developed that the company
charges the employees extortionate
prices for the goods, and the order system
is contrary to the State law. The prlnci-
pal plank in Gen. Beavers party platform
is bid for the votes Of the working men,
who repudiated this political pharises
four years ago.

The faith in Gladstoue's ability to ac-
complish almost anything is 80 great
among some of his admirers in England
that is called the Gladstone worship. A
story illustrative of this faith is being
circulated IN England. 1t is as follows:
The other day at EIawarden a clerical
guest was awaiting luncheon with Mrs.
Gladstone, while her husband was in an
upper chamber. The clergyman sought
to console his hostess on the defeat OF the
home rule bills by the very proper and
pious remark that, no matter how black
the outlook at the moment might be, there
was One above who might be trusted to
make all things right IN the eud.
That's quite true" Mrs. Gladstone is
reported TO have replied. "Quite true.
And he is in excellent spirits even now.
as you will see presently when he comes
down stairs"

Richmond is displaying unprecedented
enterprise. A special from that city saws:
"The Richmond mills are shipping more
flOur TO South America this season than
at any time since the war. Nine vessels
are reported to be en- route here now to load
-four Tor Brazilian ports. Three of these
come direct from Rio Janeiro and the
others coastwise." With proper man
agemeDt no doubt a line of steamers from
Savannah TO Rio would pay, and add very
materially TO the commerce Of this city.
The Alabama election tor state officers
is over with, and the judicial and local
elections in Tennessee take place today.
The only other elections OF moment when
will be held before Nov. Will be the
choice of Governors, Congressman and
Legislatures, in Vermont on Sept. :, and
in Maine on Sept. -. Georgia elects
Governor aud Legislature on Oct. 6. Ore
gou and Rhode Island have already held
their State elections. The Democrats
have more than held their own IN all the
State elections held so far this year.
The Washington Post thus ridicules the
big Western city that wants to become
the capital Of the nation: zone hundred
and eleven q Ill deg. in the shade at ST.
Louis on Thursday. We shrivel as we
read the awful announcement. WHAT
would Congressman do if the capital had
been moved thitner?" Perhaps they
would adjourn earlier than they are now
wont to do. II st. Louis will properly
place that point before the country It will
get the people on its side by a large ma
jorIty.

The Boston Herald thinks that the story
that a negro woman in Tattnall county
in this State killed and cooked her child
10 satisfy the hunger OF colored picnic
party would be too horrible for belief if it
were not that in Hayti it is very COM
mon thing for negroes to eat children.
While we are not prepared to say
whether there is any foundation to the
Tattnail cOuntys or not, we have pretty
good reasons for thinking there is not, We
did not publish it because, after pretty
thorough inquiry, we could not find any
one who knew anything about it. The
conclusion reached was that it was q sort
of Joe Mulhatton invention.
The Herald calls attention 10 the cases
of cannibalism in Hayti, described by Sir
Spencer st. John in his book on the
BLACK Republic" Sir Spencer repre-
sented Great Britain in that republic
for twelve years, and his book appeared
in print within the last year. According
Dracticed to very marked extent
in Hayti. Voodooism prevails
there, and there are certain
diabolical rites connected with
it which require the killing and eating of
a child as a sacrifice. These rites have
developed an abnormal appetite for hui
man flesh, aud now it is not an uncommon
thing to Kill and eat children for food. 1t
is stated that very lately, in HaytI, a well
authenticated case has been reported
where a negro woman killed five OF her
children. and sold their flesh for food lust
as any butcher would kill pigs and sell
the pork.
1t is stated as a fact that the killing of
children for food is so general that the
white residents of Port au Prince cannot
be induced to use domestic lard. They
use only tlat which they are confident
has been imported. Not long ago one OF
the Port au Prince newspapers stated the
facts about the killing of children for
food, but the government forced it to re-
tract what it had stated.
No doubt there is very sad condition
OF affairs in Hayti where the negroes ap-
pear to be going back to barbarian in
stead OF advancing to a higher civiliza-
ton but that is not the situation in Geor-
gia or any other southern State. The ne.
groes here are advancing-slowly in some
localities, it may be, but still ad.
vancing-and it would require pretty
good evidence to cause the Tattnall
county story to be believed by people who
have any knowledge of Southern negroes

A. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Master Harry Zimmerman narrowly
escaped instant death Saturday morning,
and the accident with which he met may
prove warning TO other boys, and pos
slbly save them from a terrible fate. On
the morning mentioned, the work train
the Milwaukee road was ordered out to
the Red Jacket ravine TO do ditching,
and Harry and Henry Hamilton accom-
panied the engineer. While the ditchcr
was at work, Harry was on the water
tank of the engine, and in some way, not
definitely known, fell To the ground, the
wheel passing over his right foot, crush
ing three of the first toes TO a jelly. Some
part of the engine also cut Il cash on the
inside of his right leg fully twelve inches
IN length, laying the flesh open in II
horrible manner. The boy was immedi-
ately brought to the city on the engine,
and within ten minutes from the time of
the mishap he was in DR.. Warmers Of
flee. DIR. Davis was called to assist in
dressing the wounds, and after being I'M
der the surgeons care for nearly two
hours he was taken home. Harry stood
the ordeal like major, never whimper-
ing. The engineer says he did not shed
a tear when he was hurt, and after be-
ing taken home he gave no outward
signs of grief. During the operation lac
of course was under the influence ol
