There is one man in Washington for
whom Tom Reed has wholesome regard,
says the Cleveland Plaindealer. That
person Is Judge David B. Culberson, who
was formerly member of Congress and
who is now engaged upon some legal com
mission here. When Reed first entered
Congress he was, upon his own applica-
ton, placed upon the Judiciary Commit
tee. Judge Culberson was chairman of
the committee.

THE STATE OF MANHATTAN.

Talk of cutting New York city loose
from the state of New York and making
it an Independent commonwealth is not
new. Many years ago Fernando Wood Sc
riously proposed that the city should sew
er its relations not only with the state,
but with the United States, if it could do
so peacefully, and become a free and indie
pendent city, like the old free cities of
Germany. Two years ago a proposition
went up to Albany having as its purpose
the creation of a new state out Of the en-
larged New York city and Long Island
lt was brought 10 the attention of the
Legislature tentatively. and no action was
taken on it. The story is now told that
the movement is TO be revived again next
year. in the event of Democratic success in
the next election, and that Richard Crok-
er and the Tammany organization are be-
hind it. Knowing that a Republican state
administration and Legislature would kill
any such scheme out of hand, no attempt
at building the new state is to be made
unless the Democrats win. The proposed
new state is to be called Manhattan.
There is, and always has been. much
jealousy between New York City and the
rest of the state i'm political matters. At
every sitting of the Legislature there are
charges on the part of the city that the
"hayseed" members enter into plots to rob
her by means of taxation in order that
they themselves may have lighter taxes to
pay; and il is doubtless true that the coun-
try members do stick it, 10 the city
whenever they have a chance. There are
some classes of persons who think that
prosperity is a crime, and that those who
are thrifty and successful ought 10 be pun
ished severely through the tax office And.
unfortunately, many such persons get into
the Legislature. not only in New York.
but in other states as well. On The other
hand, the Upper New Workers claim that
the city bosses dominate state politics .nd
grab all of the patronage There is a
plenty of room for charges and counter
charges, and they are freely made.
Meantime it is doubtful if the remainder
of New York, even under Democratic rule.
would lie willing to have the city separated
from it. New York is now the foremos
state OF the Union. and it is the city which
makes it so. With the city eliminated. the
state would lose its prestige. and might
drop back TO third or fourth place, or even
further down the line. And besides that il
would have more taxes to pay. There is
where the highest pinch would come

TIE CuBNN CENsrs.

Taking the census of Cuba was sched-
uled to commence on Monday. The
information collected will be of great value
to Congress in dealing with the problem
of the future government of the island
and to others interested in Cuban welfare
Al present reliable data respecting The
people of the island cannot he had Spain
had taken no census for twelve or thjr-
teen years, when she was driven out, and
there are reasons for thinking the enumer-
atoms which she did take were valueless
except to Spanish officials, for purposes Of
levying taxes.
The last Spanish census placed the total
population at approximately 100000. of
which 65 per cent We're white persons
Americans now in Cuba, and who have
made as accurate estimates as possible I'M
der the circumstances, are of the opinion
that there are not now so many persons
in the island by at least 100000 and that
the proportion of black population is
larger than appears from the last Span
ish census. 1t is predicted that the Amer
lean census will show about 10000 white
natives, about 10000 other whites and
about 100000 blacks.
The matter of the ballot whether II shall
be free TO all male citizens who have ar
rived a the age of manhood, or whether
there shall be a property Qualification as
under the Spanish regime depends in a
great measure. in all probability upon the
facts as they shall be shown by the cen
sus, Should the census show that there
is no danger of The blacks outvoting the
whites. and being thus able to set up a
black republic, the ballot might be made
free, but should it appear that the margin
of white population is very narrow, some
restricting qualifications would no doubt
be provided. Cuba is to be dominated by
white men. There isn't any question about
that The United States are not going TO
have duplication of Haytian and San
DOMINICAN butcheries and misgoverument
in Cuba.

MR. BnYAN KENTUcKY.

/ Predictions were freely made in certain
| quarters of sensational things that would
4 occur If Mr. Bryan should go to Kentucky
for the purpose Of making speeches in the
! interest of GoeDel. Wen. Mr.. Bryan has
entered the state. has made speeches. has
advocated the election Of the regular Dem
ocrauc ticket. has aroused unbounded en-
thusiasm. has swayed the multitude as
only a master Of eloquence can sway It,
and the predicted sensa tional things have
not occurred. His progress thus far has
been that of a favorite. and what he has
said has met the approval of his hearers.
In view of the facts, 1t would appear that
certain ant-Goebel influences had tried
to bluff the Nebraskan off by circulating
stories Of how much popularity he would
lose If he went to Kentucky TO support
GoebeL and how the state would be lost
to the Democracy not only this year but
next if Mr.. Bryan should take sides in the
Democratic facdonal fight Mr. Bryan was
warned that it would do bis prospects no
good for him to visit Kentucky and make
speeches for Goebel.
But Mr.. Bryan does not lack courage
He had seen a state normally Democratic
by 10000 to 4000O carried by Republicans
and he regarded it as his duty to contrib
ute whatever help he was able towards re-
dcemins that state and placing it solid
ly in Democratic ranks once more. He
found Goebel. the Democratic candidate,
regularly nominated by the legal conven-
ton of the party. AS a leading Democrat.
therefore, 1t was incumbent upon him to
assist i'm the effort for the election of that
candidate. It was not for him TO go be-
hind the action of the Kentucky State
Democratic Convention. Goebel may have
been personally unpopular in certain quar-
ters. 1t may have been true that he was
a shrewd politician and had outgeneraled
some powerful rivals who were in a posi-
ton to make trouble. But Mr.. Bryan had
nothing to do with all of that The Ken
lucky convention had ratified the Chicago
platform, and had placed a candidate upon
il. If the majority Of Kentucky Demo-
Gratis had made Goebel their standard
bearer certainly Mr.. Bryan could not
have consistently done otherwise than fol-
low the very course he has followed.
Mr.. Bryan has not antagonized anybody
except those who are ti-Democratic in
their politics, and they would have been
against him anyway. on the other hand.
by his courageous action and his speeches
he is strengthening the Kentucky democ-
racy and il aiding it to get in a position
to make a winning fight. That this is true
is shown by the enthusiasm with which
Mr.. Bryan is greeted wherever he APP
pears.

Kimberley from a commercial stand

Beers are massing around that place with

interests at stake. Kimberley however. is
