was no embarrassment to the soldiers,

New York stared across the river in
bcwildcrcd establishment and then re-
sorted to the telegraph and the utterly
futile police boat.
Hendricks close calculation of time
was again shown here. His agents ar
rived in Jersey City with fifteen min
utes margin. and that was enough to
enable them to take possession of
train of ten cars on the Pennsylvania
road and get in motion before the or
der had arrived to hold all trains.
On the ferryboat Gen. Waterson and
his officers encountered number of
passengers with large portmantenus.
They We're there by Encouragement
and brought the change of garments
with them. When the boat arrived at
the New Jersey dock the officers were
in different apparel and were protest
ing most bitterly against the impu-
dcnce and insolence of the soldiers.
The general and two of mis- aides are
known to have got back to New York
on q returning boat. At least one hun
dred men had gone out of their uni
forms while on the water. This was
easily enough accomplished, seeing that
they had but to take off shirt, trousers
and hat. These articles of clothing
were weighted with their arms, tied
to the empty and open knapsaclls
and flung into the Hudson. On the ar
rival of the boat they followed the
troops with the crowd and were unob-
served. Half an hour later when they
were looked for they had disappeared,
most of them returning to New York
by various routes.
Gen. Waterson, we know by his own
account, put up at an obscure down
town hotel where he registered as
John Fielding, of Newark, and that
same night reached an up town rem
devious where he freed himself from
the gold and then gave himself with
curious zest to watching the course of
events and OF public opinion in the
city.

for twenty years.

principal issues as though he had not
spoken for n week. One gentleman
told me that Watson's speech saved
Burke county, another told me that
his greatest applause came from those
who were against the Democracy two
wears ago; another declared that he
had heard more than a dozen Popu-
lists and silver Republicans say that
they were going to vote for Cy Watson
and for Bryan and Sewall unless their
own party and the Democratic party
agreed upon method to unite the
silver forces.
Mr.. Manly Mcdowell, the chairman
of the Democratic Executive commit
tee and one of the safest and wlsest
young leaders in the west, is much en-
couraged and says that Watson did
great work here to-day. Judge Avery,
Mai. Wilson and hundreds of others
are enthusiastic over the results of the
meeting in Burke.
The West is failing into line. Good
reports follow us from every point
where Watson has been, and there Is
a uniting of silver forces in this part
OF the State that is going to storm the
citadel of Mark Hanna and his gold
bug ally, j. G. Pritehard, in November
next in such way as will wipe them
from political existence in this grand
old free silver Commonwealth.
After Mr.. Watson had concluded,
Mai. j. w. Wilson introduced to the
crowd Hon. L. NJ. Simmons, who. for
an hour or more, held the attention of
those present, while he poured forth,
with his well-known vigor and con-
vincing power, perfect volley of hot
shot into the rank of the Mark Hanna
goldbug camp. His speech was etfec-
tive, and, as a gentleman remarked to
me, was grand finale to the great
occasion.

ment is on foot to hold n constitutional
convention. the main object Of which
being TO devise some means to
restrict the exercise of the elective
franchise in such n way as to exclude
those who are too illiterate to exercise it
With necessary Judgment.
AT present the law requires n citizen
10 pay poll tax before being per-
mitted to vote, and a like law obtains
In Georgia and Pennsylvania, while in
Mississippi, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts voters are required to be able
TO read and write before being admitted
TO the polls.
There has always been some differ
ehce or opinion as to whether q prop
cry or an educational qualification is
most effective in securing an intelligent
vote, and some good arguments are Of
Iered IN support of each. Alabama
however having the property oualif-
cation already in use seems des.rious

LOSS IN CUBAN TRADE.

IT Is said thatthe trade OF this country
with Cuba Is almost dead. The collec-
tions at Philadelphia alone on imports
from Havana have fallen Off $4,000, 600
In the past year. The Washington
Times says that in 1895 there were
brought into the Quaker City port 542,-
4S0.5G5 pounds of cane sugar. Up to the
first Of November this years importation
amounted to only S6.273, 1903 pounds For
the same respective periods 1O,344,S and
and 475,000 gallons OF molasses were
brought in from Cuba. The tobacco
and fruit trade is practically wiped out,
and the loss OF Import revenue on this
account is about $4,000, 600.
While the loss Of revenue to the United
States is bad enough. yet that to Cuba
Is still worse.
1t Will be years before, even in the
most favorable circumstance Cuba can
regain her accustomed fertility, and, as
our contemporary says, before the island
becomes entirely a bowling desert the
United States, by recognizing the indie
pendence OF Cuba, should do It's part to
bring the struggle 20 an end

but their is a gratifying report that
trade Is really looking up in all sec
