Why We Smile.


If it is of any interest to the Phila-
delphia Record to know why the
TRIBUNE is happy these
days, we are aware of no reason why
its curiosity should not be gratified.
This newspaper is happy
Because it has successfully
weathered the severest business
panic in the history of this genera
tion; and was never in better trim
to challenge and conquer the
future.
Because, while it suffered from
that panic, along with most other
legitimate business enterprises, it
sees that the day of its recon-
pense and of the nations recon-
pense, is drawing near to hand.
Because, in the assurance that
the country has had enough of
Democratic "perfdy and dishonor"
to last it for another quarter of
century, it foresees Republican
restoration, wholesome and general
business revival and plenty of en-
ployment for all honest and indus
trious men.
Because, in the honors which
the drowning Democracy has dis
cerningly conferred in this state
upon the Philadelphia Records
amiable and estimable chief pro-
prietor we recognize a lingering
spark of original grace which leads
us to hope, in defiance of adverse
history, that the Democratic party
may yet become regenerated and
redeemed.
We admit the soft impeachment that
we are hopeful, happy and even mod
estly hilarious. The individual who
wouldn't be, with all these good things
stretching out before him, would
scarcely be an agreeable household
guest in these happily concluding days
of Democratic depression and dismay.

Watterson Lifts the Veil.

There is probably no other journalist
IN the country today who possesses the
magnetic, dramatic and picturesque
individuality of Colonel Henry Waiter
son. Perhaps there is also none other
who takes the colonels sly delight in
raising unexpected rumpuses and in
achieving unlooked-for spectacular re-
suits. We could almost imagine him
as an idol fthe Partisan boulevards, so
well is he gifted in those theatric arts
and articles that appeal to fluent tenn
peraments and ready imaginations;
yet there are substrata of virile strength
and clear, firm Yankee horse sense in
him to which Partisan has never yet
approximated. Apropos of the houses
tariff surrender, which has served him
well as a pretext for impassioned
pantomime, Colonel Watterson goes
back once more to the dramatic details
of the last Chicago convention, when,
as Kate Field, herself spectator, says
"the conservative tariff plank carefully
prepared by the leaders behind the
scenes" was "by the sheer force" of Mr..
Watterson's "animal magnetism
"thrown to the winds and radical
substitute carried"
The colonel resents this charge of
improper hypnotic or magnetic inter-
ference with Mr.. Cleveland's well-laid
plans. Says he:
So we'll were the Democratic masses ed
ucated in the principles and philosophy of
tariff reform, so deep into the Democratic
heart had sound economic ideas as to the
tariff imbedded themselves that when the
convention heard Mr.. Villas read in his
sonorous voice, with its delightful enunci.
alton, the conservative tariff plank, care
fully prepared by the leaders behind the
scenes, with its equivocations and qualifi-
cations and fatal admissions, there was
first amazement, then indignation, then
disgust. Mr.. Watterson sat in his delega-
tion trying to hide from sight for very
14O was llboENlly
platform by the convention itself.
What he did there is history; but he
himself tells us that before he took the
bull by the horns he first offered terms
of compromise, which Mr.. Villas and
Mr.. Whitney, acting as Mr.. Cleve-
lands agents, both refused. "And
nothing,n exultantly adds Colonel
Watterson, "has happened from that
day to this to cast the slightest doubt
or shadow upon the position there laid
down--the very pith and m marrow of
Democratic principles-that protection
is robbery, and that the government
has no right, constitutional or other
wise, to levy taxation except to raise
moneys needed for its own support"
But the colonel is not content to rest
his case at this point in his explana-
ton. There are some secrets to relate,
some elements of surprise to group
into proper position on the stage of
Democratic idol worship. We shall

MOVING FOR GOOD ROADS
Two Bills Prepared for the Legisla-
ture by the Maryland League.

The Maryland road league has pre-
pared two bills for the Improvement
of public roads. Both of them will be
introduced early in the session. says
the Baltimore Sun. The one which the
league regards as of the greatest inn
portance is that authorizing the ap-
pointment by the governor of civil
engineer, whose services shall be
chiefly employed in the Improvement
of the public roads. It has been dem
Onstrated time and again that to make
good wagon roads is the work of 4
skillful engineer. All the splendid mill
tary roads of France constructed by
the first Napoleon were the work of
the best engineers of that day. In
Maryland but few public highways
outside the cities have been made upon
scientific principles. but the road at
Pen-Mar. leading from the railroad
station to the top of the mountains.
is one with which thousands of peopl~
are familiar. 1t was constructed b
civil engineers and furnished a mar-a0
contrast to the ordinary roads of the
country A skilled engineer would con-
struct all country roads upon the prin-
ciple of this road, and if that were
done it would add more to the materi-
al wealth and welfare of the state
and the comfort of its citizens than
any one reform which could be sug-
Sested. Good and competent engineers
command large salaries. and while the

one. coming upon Il single county.
would consume too large a proportion
of the road fund. If his services are
used by all the counties the salary
will be but Il small burden upon EACH
Some of the members of the legisla-
ture may object to the expenditure of
the sum necessary to support this de-
partment of the government. But it
must be remembered that something
like 100000 is spent in the state
each year in repairs upon public roads.
This great sum is spent, as rule,
ignorantly and without producing the
best results. 1t is believed by com
petent and experienced men that more
good results could be obtained from
the expenditure of one-half the sum
than is now obtained from the whole.
Indeed, it has been asserted that the
greater part of this great sum of
money is annually thrown away, and
that the alleged repairs have to be
| repeated and renewed year after year
| To continue this method rather than
incur the expense of employing an ex
perienced roadmaker is that withhold
ing more than is meet which Solomon
tells us ''tendeth to- poverty" The bill
as prepared does not cOnfine the work
of the proposed engineer to the roads
but makes him subject to the govern

gineering work which may be required

is also said that lava-f1ows took place
AT that time. In October. 1912, ST.
Helenss was discovered ali at once
to be covered with dense clouds of
smoke, which continued to enlarge and
move off in dense masses to the east
filling the heavens in that direction
When the first volume of smoke had
cleared away it could be seen distinctly
from various parts of the country that
an eruption had taken place on the
north side of ST. Helen's. little be-
low the summit. and from the smoke
that continued to rise from this crater
it was pronounced Il volcano in active
operation. When the explosion took
place the wind was northwest, and on
the same day, extending from thirty
to fifty miles to the southeast, there
fell showers of ashes or dust. which

MACHINE THAT HUNTS TREAS
URE
Soon to Be Tested in Search for Il
Pirates Hoard on Cocos Island.

Soon to Be Tested in Il Search for Il
Pirates Hoard on Cocos Island
Peter Smith, of Vancouver, Z. c.,
has a minerallocating machine which
he claims will enable him to find hid
den treasure. The -contriyance has not
been perfected yet. At present it is
described by the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle as resembling a wooden box with
Il tin fog horn sticking through hole
in one side and suspended from
string within the box. MI. Smith was
asked if he would practically test the
machines powers to locate the treasure
and he willingly consented. The in
ventor of the strange machine remained
in the city while number Of curious
citizens wrapped up $50 in silver, and
going three miles from town hid the
money beneath bush in Stanley park.
The tin Indicator was pointed IN the
direction Of Stanley park at l O'Clock
in the afternoon, and at ) O'Clock the
machine had guided the inventor to
within 600 yards of the spot where the
treasure was hidden. 1t was getting
dark and those present decided to as
SlSt Mr.. Smith by directing MIN WlGnli
200 yards of the place.
Then the fun commenced. Mr.. Smith
moved the machines pointer carefully
about until the mysterious inside of
the box began to make a peculiar rat
Ting sound, and the inventor said: Il
am now directly in line of the treas
llre" He then put on a rubber apron
and advanced cautiously, the machine
continuing to family rattle. Suddenly
it stopped and Mr.. Smith said: L
have passed the spot" He walked
slowly backwards, and the moment the
box recommended it's audible mani
festations ran the pointer to the earth
and dug up the handkerchief contain
ing the $50. Captain Van Bremen, of
Cocos Island fame, has interested him
self in the invention. and he and the
inventor have already started sub
scription list with fair prospects Of
raising capital to perfect the machine
and put on record the O1e-hundredth
attempt to unearth the pirate treasure
at Cocos Island. A number Of men Of
accredited shrewdness believe i'll the
machine and will lend their personal
and financial aid toward the treasure
island scheme.
