Mr.. Beveridge. the new senator from
Indiana, is in the Philippines studying the
situation from personal observation. It
is a Senate tradition that new member
shall be seen but not heard during his
first session; but the probabilities are that
Mr.. Beveridge will upset tradition very
shortly after the beginning OF the new
Congress. He is said to be an eloquent
speaker, hence it is TO be expected that he
will make some interesting remarks re-
specting his personal investigation of the
Filipinos and their country. Being Re
publican, il is likely that he will come
home an ardent expansionist

An interesting case Is the subject of
diplomatic negotiations between the gov
ernments of Mexico and the United States.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rich, citizens of the United
States, were visiting in Mexico At Juar-
ez, near the border, Mrs. Rich stabbed
her husband. She Immediately took him
across the border into the United States,
where he died. Mexico has made a de-
mand for the surrender OF the woman,
who claims American citizenship and al
leges that this government has no right
to extradite one of it's own citizens. The
point is said to be a new one. Should the
demand of Mexico be denied, the courts
of this country could hardly take cog
nizance of the case. since the stabbing
occurred In foreign territory.

The secret of the delay in the distribu-
ton of that Cuban fund is now thought 90
lie in a shrewd scheme on the part of
some of the generals to secure for them
selves the larger portion of the money
Tier plan. according to a Washington
dispatch, has been to get Gen. Brooke TO
order that 800 shall be paid to every Gu
ban private who can conform to the re-
quirements of the rules for the payment,
and that whatever sum may be left over
after the privates have been paid shall
be distributed among the officers. The
Cuban leaders found, it is said after care
ful examination, that the number of act
ual soldiers who could show enlistment
papers or other vouchers of service was
even less than the generals themselves
imagined. 1t is even limited that 1000
would be much nearer the real mark than
10000 If only 10000 privates should quail
ity, the total they would receive at the
rate of 800 each would be $1OOOOOO, leav
ing 100000 10 be distributed among the
officers according to rank.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd.) says 1.-The savage attack upon
Pension Commissioner Evans by the New
York state encampment OF the Grand
Army is due to Gen. Evans enforcement
of the laws and mis- desire to keep down
the pension bill TO proportions conceiva BILE
by the human mind. Ii makes no differ
ence nowadays whether the pension COM
missioner be a Democrat of a Republican
and he is always a union veteran-he
fails to satisfy the men who run the
Grand Army"
The Raleigh N. c. News and Observer
Dem1 says: There seems to be a new
sort of color line. In a speech to an or
ganization of negroes in Brooklyn, Dr.
William II. Hunter said that many COL
ored people made the mistake of drawing
the color line among themselves; that the
colored people of fair complexion were op-
posed to being led by others of a darker
hue, and that there had been much antag-
onism between the dark colored people
and the white colored people"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)
SAYS: Gov. Roosevelt is talking about
the perfectly simple savage who believes
that railroads should carry everybody
free and give them a chrome This is
hardly doing the simple savage justice He
believes that the railroads should sock il
to those carried on the long haul"
The Memphis Commerciai-Appeal (Dem.)
says: IF William J. Bryan wants to
strike the keynote that will reach the peo-
pies hearts and reunite the Democrats
party, he should go before the country
with the victorious slogan of Death to
the trusts"

The pitiful tale of very foolish old wo-
man comes from Connecticut Some time
ago, being then at the age Of more than
60 years, a widow, and worth $4,000, she
answered a matrimonial advertisement.
The man who had inserted it, and who
was young enough to be her son, called
on her. After short courshp she mar
ried him. On their wedding tour the man
persuaded the woman to turn her possess
sions into money and let him take care Of
1t. No sooner had he got the money than
he deserted his wife, went to California
and got a divorce. A few days ago the
poor old woman, being left destitute, was
taken to the almshouse at Bridgeport. The
villainous man deserves the whipping post
and a life sentence, but there is no law
10 reach him.
