African tropics the Belgian expansonists have lost
considerable part of their substantial trade with other
nations Their colonial enterprise has proven to be
gold brick of the worst kind
From the lesson of this experiment American
expanslonsts ought to learn wisdom. That the Phil
1ppnes are unhealthy and deadly to the American is
proven by the experience of our volunteers now in
the islands That it will be costly to govern them is
made certain by the sullen attitude already assumed
by the Filipinos 1t is the merest folly to expect
either national commercial profit from colonial
expansion in such country. Like the Belgians, we
can expand our commerce more effecually by light
ening the burdens at home than by increasing them
for the sake of colonial adventures in the tropics

NEW RUBBER
TRUST STRIKES
A BIC SNAG
Manufacturers Will
Not Come In.
BAIT FAILS TO ATTRACT
CLUB OVER EDITOR DUNLAP's
HEAD.
Charles R. Flint, the Chief Promoter
Of the Scheme, Threatens Him
With a Libel Suit for With
holding Support.

The efforts Of Charles R. Flint, the New
York capitalist, backed by syndicate of
eastern bankers, to organize a new rub
Der trust under the name Of the Rubber
Goods Manufacturing Company" are not
meeting with the brilliant success antfci-
pated.
Mr.. Flint was in San Francisco a short
time ago in the interest of his pet project
and rosy pictures of the big money to be
made by those who went into the pro-
posed scheme were freely circulated. But
for some reason or other Mr.. Flint's mis-
sion to the coast was not crowned with
success and it appears, according to re-
ports received from the East, that he is
having hard row to hoe in his endeavor
to induce the independent manufac-
turers to surrender their business or ex-
change their holdings for stock in the
new concern Not only that, but the pro-
motors of the new trust have succeeded
In antagoniZing the India Rubber World
paper of wide influence, devoted to the
interests Of manufacturers and dealers of
rubber goods. The result has been a
declaration of war to the knife" between
the trust promoters and the paper which
promises to become exceedingly interest
ing as time passes. Mr.. F'lint's alleged
threat to sue the editors of the paper for
criminal libel has had the effect of in
creasing the bitterness of feeling and all
efforts to patch up the quarrel, which is
is to have it's origin in the attempt of Mr..
Flint to whip the India Rubber World
into line IN support of his scheme, have
signally failed.
The new trust is intended as a sort of
running mate to the United States Rub
Der Company, organized by Mr.. Flint, of
which he is at present treasurer. The
United States Company controls the boot
and shoe trade and the manufacture of
al kinds of hard rubber; It is proposed
that the Rubber Goods Manufacturing
Company shall control the manufacture
and sale Of all lines not classed as hard
rubber goods. The assets of the COM
panies now in the trade that are con-
ssidered eligible to join the e. new combina-
ton are estimated at $4,000 900, and they
are credited with doing business of S25,
900 per annum. The capitalization of
the new company has been fixed at $780,
5000, one-half the stock to be issued in
Z per cent cumulative preferred shares
and the remainder-representin trade
marks, patents, good will and presumably
service contracts-in ordinary common
shares. It was originally intended to in
corporate the company in New Jersey two
weeks ago. but the fact that the incor-
poration papers have not been filed is

VOTING MACHINE TESTS.

n ESPITE the recent exposure OF conspiracy
to defraud the State through the introduction
- OF system Of conducting elections by means
OF balloting machines the Legislature is giving con-
siderable attention the subject and bills providing
for making tests OF such machines have been intro
duced into both the Senate and the Assembly. 1t is
right that this should be. There is reason why
a desirable reform should be delayed simply because
some rasca1s have been detected in a scheme to make
a profit out of it.
TIL results OF extensive experiments with balloting
machines in the East have been sufficiently satisac
tory to render it certain that sooner or later the
whole country will adopt the system. 1t is superior
to the present method in every respect. 1t is more
economical, more accurate, speedy and is free
from liability to frauds errors in counting.
The only effect OF the discovery of the scheme to
defraud the State in the purchase OF the machines
will be that OF putting the people guard and max
ing the officials more careful and wary in adopting
the system than they would have been otherwise
That will delay the introduction of the method to
some extent but the delay may prove beneficial for
in these in all newly adopted machines improve
ments will be made rapidly and the price will fall A
year or two years from may be able to pur-
chase better machines than could be obtained at
ent and at less price.
While the delay necessary to make sure of starting
right and of getting the balloting machines at a
reasonable price will not be objected to- there will be
a good deal OF qualification in the fact that steps are
to be taken at to make thorough tests of the
different machines and thus prepare the way for their
adoption Our present baloting system is cumber-
some costly, slow inaccurate, and subject to various
kinds of frauds in the counting. 1t will be good day
fc- the State when we have all ballots received
registered and counted by a mechanism that works
with precision and is not subject to the human infrm-
tiles of the average election officer

Two Engines Collide.

A head-end collision occurred in
the santa Fe yards here Friday
evening just before the arrival of
the southbound passenger train.
Engine number Ill was standing
on the switch north of the depot
when engine number 116 came
rolling in ahead of the passenger
train. The switch had evidently
been left oren and was unobserved
by the engineer, for his train took
the switch, and before stop could
be effected the two engines bumped
together with a result that the pi-
lots, or cowcatchers," on both
engines were knocked into kiudling
wood and some other slight damage
done. The conclusion knocked
number 116 off the track. After
a short delay both engines resumed
their runs slightly disfgured.

The Railroad Survey

In an article on the survey OF
the 4 and c railroad the surveying
of which has zen done as far west
as Oakland. the News of that
place says. The corps of engineers
suspended work in this vicinity on
Wednesday, having been called
back to Goodland to do the final
work on the line, so that grading
may at once be commenced.
Goodland lies So miles directly
east of Oakland, in the Choctaw
nation. The country between
here and there is chiefly level
prairie, and the roadbed can be
rapidly constructed, as the natural
grades are very easy and little
heavy work will be necessary.
