WATTERsON TALKS OF 1904.
The Editor Says That Much Can Happen Poll
tically in Four Years
New York SUM-

Henry Watterson is in town for few
days and last evening his opinion was
asked as to the probable policy of the
Democratic party in the national contest
of 1894.
-Four years is a generation in Ameri-
can politics." said Mr.. Watterson. Look
at the history of the past years. With
one exception, that of General Grant, the
nominee for President was comparatively
unknown outside of his own State be-
yond brief period before his nomination.
In 1914 two hours before Polk was nomi-
mated he was an obscure candidate for
the Vice-Fresidency.
Franklin Pierce, named in 1852, was so
little known that when his nomination
was announced delegates asked: Who in
the hell is he?' Two years before Abra-
ham Lincoln was named he had not
held~his debates with Douglas and was
not known beyond the confines of ILL
nois Samuel j. Tilden. two years before
his nomination fer Chief Magistrate, was
1 private citizen, known as The Sage
of Gramercy Park
Grover Cleveland two years before
his nomination, was mayor of Buffalo.
Benjamin Harrison, two years before his
nomination. had retired from the SEN
ate and was supposed to be politically
dead Much can happen in four years,
and, therefore, ] say that four years is a
generation in American politics.

SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.

Here's strength to Senator Petit
grew! May his voice be preserved and
his nerve kept strong! He says that
he intends to talk the Hanna subsidy
bill to death if there is no other way
of killing it. There has been present
ed no more plain raid upon the Treas
ury for favorites than the subsidy bill.
If it passes, every fellow who wants
to put his hand into the Treasury
surplus can do so if he can get enough
votes. 1t is measure that is con-
trary to every principle of our gov
eminent, and is in direct conflict with
the Democratic doctrine of special
privileges to none"
Without any subsidy, American ship
ping is prosperous. The documented
tonnage last year was more than five
million tons gross, an increase of
more than 100000 tons.

THE CIGARETTE WINS.

There have been several conflicting
accounts of the effect of the Supreme
Court decision on the Tennessee law
which made it misdemeanor TO sell
cigarettes or bring them into the
State for the purpose of selling them.
The State Supreme Court held that
cigarettes were noxious and hurtful
not legitimate subject of interstate
commerce, and therefore their sale
could be prohibited by the police
power Of the State.
The majority of the United States
Supreme Court dissent from this view,
holding that tobacco in any form is
legitimate subject of commerce. 1t
held also that the Tennessee law prop
erly applies to the Importation in
question as the cigarettes came into
the State in form different from the
original package in which they are
usually shipped. But four of the nine
members of the Court, headed by
Chief Justice Fuller, dissent from the
majority opinion and hold that the
State has no power to prohibit the i'm
portation of cigarettes even in single
packages.
The result of the decision would
seem to be only to require the manu-
facturers of cigarettes to reduce the
size of their present. original pack
ages. They can easily do this. The
Tennessee law falls. and the sale of
cigarettes will continue in spite of
hostile State statutes.

OUR RELATIONS WITH TURKEY.

ConstantinOple, Nov. 27.-The relations
between the United States Government
and the Porte are becoming acute. Mr..
Griscom, the American Charge d'Affairs
went to the Yildiz palace Sunday and had
an interview with Tewfik Pasha, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, and Tahsin Bey,
First Secretary at the palace. The in
terview, however, was barren of results.
While the Porte outwardly persists in
the attitude it has assumed regarding the
question of granting and eXequatur to
the United States Consul at Harpoot
there is reason to believe that the dis
patch of the battleship Kentucky to
Smyrna has made a marked impression
in official circles.

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

Railroad consolidation seems to be
the order Of the day.
A few years ago in North Carolina
there were dozen or more short sys-
TENS of independent railroads which
have since been acquired by the three
through lines in the State-the Allan
tic Coast Line, the Seaboard Air Line
and the Southern Railway. The South
vile, Evansville and St. Louis railway
which will make that system a more
active factor in Northern and Western
business. Concurrent with the absorp-
ton of that road by the Southern
comes the story that the Southern is
to be swallowed by the Pennsylvania
Through a 999 year lease on the
strength of guarantee of dividends
on preferred stock That is denied.
Following close upon the heels of
that report comes one that the Sea-
board. Southern and Atlantic Coast
Line are to be amalgamated by
''mutuality of ownership''-that is
each road is to maintain its separate
existence, but all three are to be own
ed by parties who will control and
harmonize the policy of all, The idea
is that there, is business enough for
each of these roads if it is divided by
the mutually of ownership" and
no competition is permitted. 1t is
doubtless believed that there is no
danger of any other through line from
Washington to Florida, and that for
years to come none will be contem-
plated. Writing of this proposed COM
bination, the Baltimore Sun says:
"A coming together of the Southern,
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea-
board Air Line is discussed, but it's
realization is perhaps in the remote
future"
The interests of the South will be
best advanced if these three systems
should continue absolutely independ-
ent, each making efforts for the traffic
and the Improvement of the country
through which it runs.
