Both Parties Loaded.

LOUISVILLE COurier-Journal.
II the trusts are to be made an issue in
next years campaign both the leading
parties will start in on pretty even terms so
far as that question is concerned. Both will
make a great ado in their platforms, and
both will have records Of having done moth
ing against the trusts, although both have
had ample opportunity while they were in
full administrative and legislative control of

Learning American Methods.
Uachsn-+1r Tt,,ae

dSIIII5VOI IIIHtS.
Our Cuban neighbors are earnestly pre-
pairing themselves for independence by close
imitation of American institutions. Already
they have progressed far enough to have a
race problem worse than ours. We recon-
mend them to import a few thousand Nor.
mons and get up an agitation about polygamy
next. After they have digested that lesson
in the science Of national construction they
might hire Carter and study our method of
handling public improvements and appro-
priations.

1t Is a very serious question whether
the friends of the public schools should
not draw the line at insurance agents
when they come to select the next
school board. Such a course would at
least relieve the teachers from en-
barrassment and make 1t easier for the
lowest bidders on public school build
ings to secure fair play.

VISIT TO SULU'S SULTAN.
He Hopes to Visit the United States
soon.-Peculiar GIFT Presented Gem
eral Bates by the Sultan.

On the second visit Of General Bates to
the sultan OF Sulu, says Manila letter,
he was accompanied by Major Charles
Mcclure and other officers and by Mrs.
Lama Switoheuberg and Miss Macdonald
Hartley Of the National White Cross
Society. 1hs natives were amused at
the sight of the American women. the
first they had ever seen, and one Of them
offered Miss Hartley some betel nuts to
chew. General Bates talked to the sultan
about America and said that the Amsri.
can people would be- glad to have him
visit them. The sultan laughed like a
pleased boy. He said he should like to 60,
and that he believed he would go to the
United States within year. He asked
about New York and Chicago, and said
he might go there from Mecca after his
next pilgrimage to the Holy City. The
sultana, mother of the sultan, said she
wished to present to General Bates some
thing that would show her regard for
him more perhaps than many other
things that might be Of greater intrinsic
vslue. She would give him something
she hoped he would keep In romembrance
of her, whose prayers always should be
with him. The sultana moti0net and one
of the maids in waiting brought out a
bright red pair Of skin-tight Moro breach
es, also small blue jacket embroidered
with green and yellow flowers. "These
were made by my own hands," said the
sultana, and in them Is the sweat of my
second husband, for whom l made
Them"
General Bates accepted the presents In
few b. coming words. When a company
of the Twenty-Thir Infantry presented
arms to the sultan he did not salute.
Lieuten ant Reeve grabbed the sultan's
horse and shouted: "say. Sultan,
salute''
The sultan opened his eyes In astonish-
ment. Lieutenant Reeve shook the
Bride impatiently. Salute, Sultan" he
shouted again. The sultan sat on his
horse and pulled great clouds Of black
smoke at Lieutenant Reeve. The lieuten-
ant poked his finger at the royal person.
age and raised his hand up and down like
a pump handle. The sultan watched him
curiously. Then soft smile broke over
his face. He grunted gently and then,
with his cigar. held squarely In his teeth,
waved his hand toward his right ear.
