The battleship Kentucky has sailed
for Smyrna, and the Sultan will
probably, at least, give Uncle Sam
another little due bill.
It seems that Uncle Sam and the
Kaiser have agreed, for about the
tenth time, on the Chinese negotia-
tions, and the general public knows
about as much as they did before.
The late Henry Wizard gave away
a great deal of money during his
lifetime. In addition to numerous
benefactions bestowed on European
charitable and educational institu-
tions, he contributed liberally to the
Oregon and Washington State uni
versities, Harvard, Columbia, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and
the National History Museum in
Central Park, New York.
It is fortunate, indeed, that the
latest feat of medical skill, which is
nothing less than furnishing the pa
tient with a new mouth, was not
brought prominently forward until
after election. Otherwise the re-
straint which some of the spel-bind-
ers put upon themselves might have
been lacking and there would have
been even more strenuous speech
making than there was.
According to special from Noga-
les, Arizona, two black bears captur-
ed in Santa Rita Mountains by Mark
Lully, local hunter, are to march in
the inaugural parade in Washington
next March as the result of an cleo
tion bet. W. H. Hoey, Collector of
the Port of Nogales, agreed to take
the bears East and lead them in the
parade if Mckinley was elected. At
ter the parade the animals. which
are named Mckinley and Bryan, will
be given to the Washington Zoolog-
| ical Gardens.
The Suggestion that any attempt
on the part of the United States to
put an embargo on impecunious for
eigners of title who come to this
| country IN search of rich wives will
| be met, so far as France Is concerned,
| by an embargo on American pork is
Lou IearIul Lhe French people have
to eat, and Will naturally want the
| best they cau get. Ihe American
| people are fond enough, in spots, OF
| titled tOrtune-hunters, but Will never
teel that they are a necessity. In any
such plan of retaliation France would
get tie worst OF 1t.
Vice Consul Harrison, of Asun-
clon, making report o the State
Department about hats imported
into Paraguay, says that Derbys
which cost about So apiece in tht
United States, sell there for 81 an(
, somet times S5. Here is clearly mat
ter that has been overlooked by tn
protectionists Or things would be 81
arranged that hats, like agriculture
implements and other protected
products, could be sold at highe
, prices at home than in foreign cou1
a tries. The Hat Trust is getting tn
t worst of it, evidently.
The critical illness of Governor
! elect William j Sanford and th
hopeless nature of his malady, say
a Birmingham correspondent, hs
given rise In Alabama to an unprec,
. dented complication. The Constitl
i ton of Alabama is defective in ths
n it does not provide for an emergen
q cy such as will arise in the ever

!. take the oath of Office, or dies befo1

= silent upon the question of who
II to succeed Governor elect if /
V dies or fails to qualify within tx
prescribed time; it merely stat,
that the Governor shall serve tW
'r years and 'tuntil his successor
