Maj. Stribling says that he and his ten
ants will make over 400 bushels Of wheat
on his farm this year. Ilo will have
flour or wheat TO sell to those who have

favorable for the past ten days or two
weeks for harvesting the crop. Much of

Central American boundaries.

Preesident Loubet of France has deliv-
cred his judgment as arbitrator between
the governments of Costa Rica and Colom-
bia in the matter OF the disputed boundary
line and has decided in a manner which
should facilitate The completion of the
Nicaragua canal under the auspices OF this
government. His action is TO be accepted
as finally settling the dispute and removing
all question as to the sovereignty of Costa
Rica over the southern banks of the San
Juan river, portion Of which Is utilized
by the Nicaragua canal, according to the
general project. 1t also clears the lie of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica to the Atlantic
coast now conceded To belong to them. but
claimed by Colombia. Thus the Atlantic out
let of the projected canal is kept in Nicara-
qua instead of becoming Colombian territory
The Colombian claims were extraordinary
If granted they would have shut Nicaragua
and Costa Rica entirely off from the At
lantic, giving to Colombia a long. very
narrow strip of territory extending north
ward from the Gulf of Dulce. President
Loubet has rejected this claim in its en-
tirety and compromised between certain
collateral claims of Costa Rica and Colom-
b,a by running what Is now described as
straight boundary line from a point little
west of the Atlantic terminal of the Colom-
bian claim to point little east of the Pa
cific terminal of the same claim. Thus as
regards this collateral claim, which is not
related to the broader claim of Colombia
affecting Nicaragua well. the president
of France has practically split the differ
ence. This readjust ment does not affect
the canal question directly. save that 1t
clears away all clouds on the title of the
two states Immediately concerned in the
canal concessions over the lands involved
in the enterprise. One result of the arbitra-
ton, however, is of immediate consequence.
1t is said that now the United States will
be able To secure from Costa Itica coalinS
station privileges in the vicinity of the uulf
OF Duce, which have heretofore been with
held by Colombia. on the pretense that the
sovereignty was In dispute. Costa Rica
now has undivided and undisputed control
over this gulf an important harbor of ref
uge the Pacific coast, and will probably
grant the privileges desired.

Punishing Food AduIterntors,

There is a commendable degree of activ-
ity in Philadelphia in the apprehension and
punishment of grocers and others guilty Of

CuiDa's Election.

Lacking full returns from the Cuban
elections il is impossible to know accu-
rateiy the complexion CT the approaching
constitutional convention. The early indi-
cations. however. seem to point to the sue
cess OF The radical nationalist party, de-
voted to q strictly Cuban state opposed
to the IDEA OF early annexation. The
American people are not greatly concerned
in this result. but they are on the other
hand gratified TO learn that the election
was quietly conducted, that there was lit
tie of any fraud. that the people through
out the island appeared to have n proper
understanding of the meaning of the occa-
sion. To the extent that this result was
achieved, that the suffrage was intelligent
ly exercised by the Cubans under fair su
perviron, this government has fulfilled its
duty to the islanders. Its function after
wrestling Cuba from Spain was to super
wise the institution there of a stable gov
ernment. The steps by which it has ap-
preached this end have been conservative
and wise. There is unrest among the more
radical Cubans. impaticnce at the delays
made necessary by the great Importance
OF the work and the unreadiness of the
island as whole to take over the privi
lege and responsibility of self-government
at once. But the conservative classes. ap-
preciating that self-goyernment. for sue
cess, requires carefully laid foundations
have approved the course of the United
States in approaching the actual exercise
of the suffrage by easy stages. and yes
terday's voting justifies their position. If
later Cuba will devise governmental
structure in keeping with the progress al
ready made in the evolution of an inteili-
gent body polite. the intervention of the
United States will not have been in vain.
And this result is to be expected.

SiIyer's Turn Now.

At Indianapolis Mr.. Bryan gave the
country his views on Imperialism. His pur-
pose was to reach particularly what Is
called the German vote in the middle states
and the northwest. The deliverance was
elaborate. showing more care tnan It's
author had bestowed on any subject since
the campaign of 1896 What effect was
produced where effect was so earnestly
nIaved for is a question. The republican
managers express the opinion that the
speech failed of its purpose. No stampede
of voters of German birth or extraction to
the democracy has followed. and none
seems likely.
At St. Louis on Saturday Mr.. Bryan
took trusts for his text. He treated the
subject in the regulation way. The speech
was simply denunciation founded upon gar
bled and twisted statistics. Still it Is but
fair TO note the embarrassments under
which he Iabored With Richard Croker's
ice trust staring him in the face In one
direction and the round cotton bale trust,
buttressed by Mr. Searles of the sugar
trust staring him in the face in another
direction. he was estopped from fairy
turning himself loose" How vigorously
he would have thumped all combinations
of capital but for those two samples OIL
democratic oppression in the trust line
must alasi be left to conjecture
But whether successfully or not. Mr.
Bryan has addressed his countrymen on
two of the subjects he considers OF very
great inheritance in this campaign. Now,
when shall we hear from him on the sub
iact of silver? That is to say. when Is he TO
ser apart an occasion when silver Is to re-
ceiye the same exclusive attention that
trusts and fmperialism have? In other
words. when are those silver repubhcahs
who nominated him for President to give
him such an opportunity? What Is the
matter with those gentlemen, anyhow! Or
dirarily they are not laggards. Shyness
has never seemed to aff1ict them. They
were prompt and aggressive enough at st
time at Kansas City last July But they
really ought to get move on them now
Why has not Mr.. Teller long before this
stood in Mr.. Bryan's presence and 1ormaliy
notified him of the continued distinguished
consideration of the silver republicans?
OF course the country knows in general
terms that Mr. Bryan stands on the silver
question where he stood four years ago. 1t
knows also that ne treated that question as
immediate and urgent and as practically,
though not in words, paramount at Kansas
CITY And for those two reasons 1t awaits
with pardonable curiosity some especial
deIfverance from him on the subject while
he is afoot now asking second time for
votes for his candidacy for the presidency.

Mr.. bryan and the Kentucky Robbery

Senator Lodge, in his speech in New York
Friday night, replying to the charges
brought by the Bryanites against the repub-
leans respecting the Filpinos said:
They say we refused them self-govern-
Self-government. that reproach
brought against us by the party that has
robbed the people of Kentucky of their
rights, If Mr.. Bryan Is so interested in the
rights of self-government belonging to men
with brown skins in the Pacific, let him look
10 the rights OF the black men who are
American citizens.
And Mr. Lodge might have added that the
robbery In Kentucky was committed largely
for Mr.. Bryans benefit. and with his thor
ough knowledge and sympathy In way
indeed. he assisted IN the work.
During the campaign in the blue grass
state last year Mr. Bryan appealed to
in behalf of Mr. Goebel The democratic
managers had discovered that their candi-
date for governor, because of the disgrace
full means by which his nomination had
been secured, was in danger OF defeat, and
In panic they sent hurry call to Mr..
Bryan to come to the rescue. He responded
and gave the whole weight of his influence
to the Goebel ticket. Some Of his warmest
supporters In the state were opposing the
ticket. and they were at pains to inform him
Of the rascally means which had brought 1t
into existence His only reply was. Vote
the ticket. 1t represents the party. and we
must win this fight"
But even Mr.. Bryan's influence could not
pull Mr.. Goebel through. The people would
not have him at anybody's instance. They
