Some Inside Work Going ON Mt the
Columbus Convention.
Sped ial Dispetch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. June 29.-The out
cropping of the United States senatorial
question is the feature of the state demo-
cratic convention today. 1t is now quite
well known that under former Congress
man Paul ]. Sorg's candidacy for governor
is a vigorous boom for the United States
senatorship to succeed NJ. A. Hanna 1t is
expected that Mr.. Sorg will today make
the formal announcement of his senatorial
aspirations. and. of course, no longer stand
as a candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor.
John Il. McLean's friends are thought to
be supporting the candidacy of Robert T.
Hough, who is put down as the strongest
candidate on first ballot. 1t Is also charged
that McLean's friends are cultivating other
gubernatorial booms with the end in view
that at the proper moment they will With
draw and throw their strength to Hough.
Beriah Wi,kirs, one of McI-ean's friends
Is said to be pushing the candidacy of A.
w. Patrick of New Philadelphia with this
object in view. Sorg and Mclean thus be-
come important factors i'm the convention.
Sorg has about seven counties pledged
solidly to him. These he will throw to come
candidate who gives hope Of defeating
Hough. Perhaps it will be Welty or Chap
man. Temporary Chairman Uric Sloan is
a famous orator. and Ii Is suggested that
he may fire the convention to such a degree
of enthusiasm in his opening speech as to
lead to his own nomination, Bryan's
speech at Chicago did.
The convention proper does not meet I'M
til tomorrow morning. The delegates meet
by congressional districts at pm. today.
Each district will elect vice president of
the convention, a member of the state CEN
trail committee and one member OF each CT
the standing committees. No doubt the
whole Chicago platform will be indorsed.
The leaders In the race for governor seem
to be Hough, Chapman and Welty.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 29.-J. s. Parks
state priI ter-elect, announces that the use
of typesetting machines will be abolished
in the state printing office with the begin
ming of his administration on Thursday

During the last session of the legislature
the printers made strong fight to secure
the passage of a bill prohibiting the use
of the machines in the state office. In this
they were unsuccessful, but they did sue
ceed in having attached to the appropria-
tion bill q rider which provides that the
state printer shall receive 10 cents per 1.Ue
ems for ma chine work. 1t Is claimed that
at this rate the machines cannot be oper-
ated except at a loss, and as a result they
will be thrown out. and the state will pay
from 30 to 40 cents per thousand for hand
composition.

The Fort Meade TOBACCO Farm.

The testimony of tobacco experts in re-
spect to the tobacco farm at Fort Meade.
! Fla. and the tobacco grown thereon. is
of the most encouraging character. 1t
justihes the conclusion that tobacco grow
ing is to be a great source Of wealth in
that state.
The tobacco grown at Fort Meade is
wholly different from the tobacco grown
in any other part of this country We
infer from what the experts say that in
flavor, and in every other respect, It is
fully equal to the best quality of Cuban
tobacco. of its flavor Senior Vincento
Guerra, theFhead OF the firm of Guerra,
Diaz & Co. extensive cigar manufactur-
ers at Tampa, says:
This flavor mention is one not usually
found in domestic products and it would
not surprise me if it made a reputation
of its own that will surpass any article
ever offered to the smokers of America.
1t is Something that will certainly please
the most critical judge of tobacco fiavors."
With reference 10 the farm Mr.. d. o.
Curry the manager Of the Tampa Cigar
Company says:
1T is the most superb tobacco farm I
ever saw and there IS nothing in the
Vuelto Abajo district that will compare
with it in any way, and it is more in
diligently conducted than any of those
farms. 1t is a success beyond all shadow
Of a doubt, and has demonstrated to the
world that Florida can produce a tobacco
with a flavor that one cannot recognize
as domestic"
Mr.. Charles Dittmar Of the Baltimore
firm Of Dittmar & Doneiff, dealers in leaf
tobacco, WHO was one of the experts who
visited the farm says The farm was
revelation to me. I had not expected to
find farm Of such perfection or magni-
tude. Those people certainly know Their
business and will make it a success. Their
system of irrigation is a great piece Of
work, and sprays the entire farm without
the omission of a single foot of space. This
makes their crop better and improves the
quality of It also"
Testimony like the foregoing justifes
the conclusion that tobacco as good as the
best Cuban tobacco can be grown in Flor
ida, and that sufficient can be grown to
supply the demand of the domestic mar
ket.
The question may be asked, why has
not Florida produced this fine tobacco
before? The answer is that those who
have cultivated tobacco did not know how
TO cure it. The curing of fine tobacco re-
quires special knowledge. Cuban tobacco
growers are employed at the Fort Meade
farm, and that is why the proprietors OF
that farm are meeting with such pro-
nounced success. There is so much profit
in growing fine tobacco that il pays to
employ Cuban experts to oversee the
growing and curing of the crop. We shall
be greatly surprised if within ten years
the value of the tobacco crop of Florida
is not greater than that of any other crop
Of the state.

Alexander Bolles. one of the early timer
ant preachers, who preached in three
states among the Allegheny mountains,
was much tormented by the influence Of
one John Rogers, Jerseyman who open
ly taught atheism and the adjustment of
marriage, says the Argonaut. On one oc-
casion, while leading a meeting in the
woods in Virginia, a young man and
woman pushed their way up TO the stump
which served as a pulpit. The man, inter
rupting the sermon. said. defantly:
I'D like you to know that we are Roger
ines" The old man looked at him over
his spectacies and waited. I'VE don't be-
lieve in no God. Nor in marriage. This is

IN have no preacher nor squire meddlin

Father Bolles. that you have taken this
girl home as your wife,"
yes ! do" said the fellow. doggedly
"Aud have you gone willingly to live
with him as your husband?"

and whom God hath joined together let no
man put asunder. BE off with you! You
are married now according to the law and

Soc a CoIIecting Agency.

The use OF the machinery OF the criui-
nal courts Of New York for collecting
debts is not permitted. The sheriff and
an assistant prosecuting attorney Of Len
aTee county, Michigan, used it for that
puEaOse and they got themselves into
trouble They were Indicted by a New
York grand jury for assisting a prisoner
to escape justice, and the prosecuting at
torney was arrested. The sheriff viii be
arrested if he shows himself in New York.
The probabilities are that he will be ar
rested even if he does not so to New York
voluntarily. as the governor Of New York
has sent an officer after him with requis-
ton papers.
The cause of the trouble was this: An
ton Christensen, a Dane and a citizen OF
Michigan. was arrested in New York on
charge of EN- bezzlement. The crime was
committed in Michigan. and he was in
dlcted in that state. The sheriff of Lena
wee county, the county in which the IN
dictment was found and the assistant
district attorney Of that county. went TO
New York with requisitiOn papers from.
the Michigan governor for the Dane. The
New York authorities honored the requf-
sition and delivered the Dane into their
custody. Instead of taking him back to
Michigan they settled the case with him.
He paid the sheriff the amount he had
embezzled together with the expenses ADD
agreed 70 leave the country. Then they
released him. They claim that the laws
of Michigan permitted them to make the
settlement The laws of New York do
not recognize such a settlement, however,
and the New York authorities, discover
ing that the Dane had been released, re-
arrested him. They also arrested the as
sistaut district attorney and they procur-
ed indictments against him and the
sheriff.
The laws of New York do not permit of
the collection of a debt by criminal pro-
cesses. Compromising an embezzlement
case is regarded as compromising felony.
In most of the states it is so regarded.
The Michigan sheriff and the assistant
district attorney will be lucky if they es-
cape a New York prison. If they do es-
cape It they will have learned lesson
they will not forget soon.
