it may be disregarded in another; ana

Some stir has been caused by the re-
port that Gen. Bates took $4,000 with
him as present to the sultan of SuIu,
when he undertook that diplomatic
mission under direction of the peace
mission. Whatever attempt may be
made to disguise the transaction 1t is
said, the plain fact will be that the
money will be deemed tribute and
hlackmail levied by this precious poly
gamous despot upon the American
government. The money would be es-
teemed by him and by the world as the
price of his good behavior and his sub
mission to American authority. But
that inference goes much too far.
Douceurs are common Instruments of
Noriental diplomacy, and no European
government has found it possible to
get ahead without lubricants of this
sort. Sometimes money considerations
are given in exchange for a specific
consideration, ard sometimes there is
no definite quid pro quo, but the pres
ent is given merely as evidence of
friendly intentions. To the latter class
belong whatever money transactions
Gen. Bates may have with the sultan of
Sulu

Senator Chandler excites general
merriment iii his role of reformer of
evil and protector of political virtue,
but the incongruity should not be al
lowed to obscure the more important
issues up in New Hampshire. The rec
ord of Senator Gallinger is such that
nobody can express surprise at the
charges preferred against him, and the
conduct of Civil Service Commissioner
Brewer is we'll calculated to excite sus-
plcion. The latter may be strong
enough to DEFY Chambers threat of re-
moval. but his recent performances in
dicate plainly that he is an unfit person
for the office. The Granite state ring
deserves all the denunciation that
Chandler has bestowed upon it, and
Brewer belongs to the ring and is serv-
ing it to the utmost of his ability.

LINDEN TERRACE.
A Place For the workiugman to Build an
Ideal Home.

The march of progress is constantly
quickening in every direction about
Worcester, in none more notably than
in the line of the development of
real estate. And the most admirable
thing in this connection is the fact that
the development is in the direction of
homes end home sites for the working
man and for the man of average
means.
Properly conducted, delightfully."- sit
uated, particularly suitable for the
building of ideal homes, is the new
and wonderfully attractive tract of
land now being opened up which is
named Linden terrace
Linden terrace is situated on the
line of the Grafton electrics, within
the five-cent fare limit, and less than
two miles from the city hail. 1t is a
brief 10 minutes ride and is easily ac-
cessible by cars with no more expense
than is required to go one-haIf or one
third the distance.
The new park is a large portion of
the old Perkins farm on the Grafton
road, one of the Oldest and most mem
ory-fraught places of Worcester. The
tract consists of many thousands of
feet of the best land of this rich agri-
cultural and grazing section, and is To-
Gated between two principal thorough
fares. Grafton and Harrington streets
1t has frontage of 1900 feet on both OF
these, and will be further opened up
by the construction of several broad
avenues which are already projected
to run from front to back of the prop
erty, thus making every lot face on a
principal street and having no dead
ends of roads or blind alleys,
The tract Of land is an ideal one
From Grafton street, level plain. or
rather plateau, for the whole site is al
very considerable elevation, stretch
es back for many hundred feet to-
ward Harrington street, gently rising
toward the right or in the direction
Of the city, to the brow of a tree-clad
hill from whence the view is one to be
remembered for many day.
The natural advantages of the site
are remarkable. No section was ever
more admirably fitted for natural
drainage and to insure health to ali
its inhabitants. The location of the
place and its remarkable suitability for
home building make Linden terrace GER
tainly an ideal place for the erection Of
every variety of residence, from the
cottage to the palatial domicile of the
millionaire.

sion, the war investigation, the Philip

thus accumulated ought to be not only
large, but valuable. 1t cannot be said
