During the hour and half in which
the Cabinet was in session yesterday it
discussed the German exclusion act as
TO American fresh fruit and fruit trees.
and also considered the sale of the
Kansas Pacific road.
1t is learned that the object of the
reorganization committee members who
called on the President yesterday was
to get this government to recede from
it's intention of bidding at the sale.
There has been an offer from the reor-
ganization committee to increase it's
bid from 81, 500. 600 to S4000;000, but this
offer was rejected.
Before the meeting the President saw
a half dozen or more Senators on the
questions and people out for Office in
their respective States.
Opposition to the influence of Mr.. Cal
vim Chase is being developed in some
quarters among the eolored people. Mr..
Chase has of late been enga ged in try
ing to get the President to appoint a
colored man on the excise board.
The President shook hands with many

Sterling Elliott, OF Boston, is in the West
working against Potter, and the reports
are that he is meeting with marked sue

Potter made a mistake last summer
when he wa hired by.l newspaper simply
because he was head official of the
League of American Wheelmen. Then,
when lie made up his ticket for this
year he placed Ea stern men for three Of
the best offices.
As a res Iit the Wild and Woolly men

life among the students is good thing
in more ways than one. This was said
to be a distinguishing feature of the
English universities of Oxford and
Cambridge, and tended to more COM

life than the exclusive coming of
books. The delegates to the convention
from Harvard said that the idea had
been given application there with good
results. The students there had what
they called smoke talks" They met
and discussed various matters. either
directly or incidentally connected with
their work. Mr.. Ross advocated great

Importance of Politicas Parties.
Bristol Courier.
Notwithstanding all the lllfeehng
they engender, different polisical
parties accomplish a great deal to-
ward the publication of society. In
different peace and lazy inertia are
never good symptoms OF healthy
growth in any community. II there
was no opposition politics would
soon become dangerously corrupt
and the nation would be in peril OF
decay. As it nov IS, the different
political parties keep an eye OF each
other and watch party operations
If any flaws a be found any
where they are sure to be exposed
and therefore politicians are on the
lookout. Criticism is healthy to
a certain extent, and it has its place
in a wide awake community. There
is always room for improvement
everywhere, and wrongs that might
be righted exists in the best regu-
lated commonwealth.
But, then, it is one thing to lind
fault with existing con ditions and
quite another to make them right.

The Same Copperhead Argument,
Redheld Press,

h0dneld fress.
What a saving of brain tissue it
would have been for certain editors
if they had saved the files of soma of
the copperhead sheets from 81 to
'65. They had the same howl about
delays in one issue and too much
haste in the next; the same arguments
about the war tax being a burden on
the poor man and the escape of the
rich man from his share of taxes. the
whole tone of their editorials was
calculated to discourage and weaken
the government and encourage the
enemy. These fellows could use the
files of those papers for copy and
save the wear and tear thinking out
such traitorous stuff.

by the owner filing in the blank
form on the back of the bond, and
must be witnessed by some officer
authorized by the regulations of
the Treasury Department to wit
ness assignments. The owner of
the registered bond who wishes to
part with it writes his name on the
back of the bond in the presence
of the officer; then the witnessing
officer writes his name in it's prop.
er place and affixes an impression
of his official seal.
The officers who are authorized
to witness assignments are a United
States judge, United States dis
trlct attorney, clerk of a United
States court, collector of customs,
collector or assessor of internal
revenue, United States Treasurer
or Assistant Treasurer, or the presi-
dent or cashier of a national bank,
or if in a foreign country, a United
States minister or consul. In
cases were there is no officer with
in a reasonable distance, or when,
through sickness or for some otner
good reason, the owner of register
ed bonds can rot go before one of
those officers, the Treasury Depart.
ment will designate some person
near the owner to act as witness.
When the owner Of a registered
bond disposes of it and has pro-
perly assigned, he delivers it to
the owner, who should at once
forward it to the Register of the
Treasury for transfer on the
books of the Department. The
Register cancels the bond so for.
warded and issues a new bond in
the name of the new owner, and
sends it to him by registered mail.
The Department makes no charge
for transferring bonds.
If the owner of a registered bond
loses it, or if it is stolen from him,
he should at once notify the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. A stoppage
will be entered against the bond,
and if it should be presented for
transfer, the Department will hold
possession Of the bond until the
ownership is clearly established.
If a lost or stolen bond is not re-
covered within SIX months, the
Department will issue a duplicate
bond upon proof of loss and a bond
of indemnity being furnished.
The interest on registered bonds
is paid by the Government by
means of checks. In order that no
mistake may be made in the pay
ment of interest, the books of the
Department are ''closed" for a
period, varying according to the
Importance of the loan. The books
of the -four per cent loan Of 1907
are closed for the whole month
preceding the payment of d quar-.
ter's interest. On ether loans the
books are closed for fifteen days
