PALMA PARADE A FAILURE.
Political Demonstration in HAVANA
shows Little Eynthusinsm.

HAVANA. Cuba. Dec sO.-A procession
was held here yesterday in support OF the
candidacy Of Tomas Estrada Palma who
is seeking election to the Presidency. 1t
was announced by the official element
that the procession would be the largest
seen since the interyeption aud that it
would show the hold Gen Maximo Gomez
has upon the people. General Gomez being
an active supporter OF Senior Palma.
The affair, however. was almost a com
plete failure. In spite OF there being six
bands in the line there were not more
ihan 1000 persons who turned out and
most of these were the usual rabble. The
official organs dcscribe the procession as
a tremendous success.
The "Alundo" says that General Gomez
oabled to Senur Palma that f5,c00 men
we're in line. The "Diario de In Marina"
says IL prefers not to express an opinion
regarding the number for fear Of Offend
ing one side OF the other.
The papers supporting General Maso
claim that the procession showed the
weakness of Senor Palma, jast as the
Palma papers claimed that the Msso dem
onstration was a failure. The Maso pa
pers described the latter procession as
huge success.
1t is claimed the figures were fisihed
to deceive the people in the interior Of the
island.

Nation of Tobacco chewer..

-Four fifth Of the annual production in

In some of the Southern States the
consumption of snuff is heavy, and the
females who dip are almost as numerous
as the men who chew. In the big faCto-
ries Of the North the women employees are
inyeierate users OF snuff and while work

cnod Nntcr for tnc CnrilaI.

However prosaie and monotonous
the agitation for unpollutci drinking
water may seem. ,he matter is one Of
the lnost acsc interest to the citi-
zeus of Washington to whom the al
tcrnati,es mineral waters and cN-
pensivc house Gltcr~ arc denied.
The grc2ariou~ instinct oi human
beings produces cities; the increase
of population proiucrs 1he water
problem. for almost everywhere the
question of quality ur quantity CON
fronts the municipality. Unfortunate
ly. Washington is not an exception.
The National Capital needs the best
filtration plant that ingenuity can
devise. Equal parts OF Potomac and
the bottom or banks Of the Potomac
produce a beverage that is neither
good to look upon nor good 10 swat
low.
The average citizen might gather
some comfort from the good-natured
theory that the present brew OF
Mother Nature and The pumping
plants is harmless were there not
the lurking suspicion thai .he ubiqui
tous germ is hiding therein.
In view of the threatened era of re-
trenchment. the only way for Wash
ingtoG;ans to get water that does no.
suggest the necessity Of being eaten
with a spoon is to fight for a filter.
Economy is the mother of limita-
tions, and she seems TO be rampant.
The shaving of District estimates
must hit somewhere, and viii prob
ably hit very hard in the region of
the filtration plan unless the citizens
of the Capital make il a point TO i'm
press upon Congress the fact that
filtration has become almost as neces-
sary as food.

nclmont-crnkeg Fight.

The Belmont Croker N i. ply Finn mix
up in the Seventh Cougr ,ssionaI New
York district is a curious tangle." said
Mr. William Ryan. of Manhattan. at the
Riggs.
The district consists of Staten Island
and the southern end OF Manhattan Island
and a special election for a Congressman
vice Nicholas Muller, resigned. takes
place a week from today. Muller resigned,
it is claimed, through pique upon falling
in his ambition TO be elected president OF
the Borough OF Richmond.
"a statement had beea put out that
Hon. Perry Belmont was, With Richard
Crokers advice and approval, to be Tam
many Halls nominee. All expressions OF
Tammany Congressman. given out IN
Washington, until a week or so ago. we're
in Belmonts favor. That gentleman does
not live in the district, but that has not
been a bar against other Tammany Con
gressionsl nominees under the reign OF
Croker.
The Seventh district is Democratic by
about 5000 majority, but. owing 10 the
complications that have arisen, it may be
lost TO the party, and a wedge put into
Tammany Hall that will still further re-
duce its prestige. But on the face OF

The Washington times., 1901-12-31

Many have supposed that the Philippine
tarim bill recently passed by the House
will. If agreed to by the Senate. be the
only important legislation OF the session
affecting our new insular possessions.
While no measure OF moment has yet been
introduced, 1t is probable that immediate
iy after the reconvening OF Congress the
subject of permanent and stable govern
ment for the Philippines will be taken
up by the Committee on InsuIar Affairs.
Of which Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin is chair
man. Mr.. Cooper has the matter very
much at heart and his ideas may find ex-
preston in comprehensive bill to be pre-
pared and introduced by him in the near
future.
The feeling prevails to considerable
extent that the present government OF the
islands is abnormal in character, partly
military and partly civil. and that nothing
will be more conducive to complete pacifi-
cation than the establishment Of a dis
tinctive civil government, representative
IN character, and exercising the fullest
authority consistent with the sovereignty
of the United States.
The basic idea of any legislation such
as that indicated will be the good OF the
Filipino people. Mr.. Cooper thinks that
the way to make them contented and loyal
is to make them prosperous, and that this
end can be best reached by introducing
and carrying out proper schemes for the
development of the country's resources.
There should. he thinks, be laws for the
creation and regulation of franchises, for
the establishment Of a stable currency
system, for the construction of railways,
and for the general utilization OF the

statehood for New Mexico.

Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico has
been in Washington for several days
working in the interests OF statehood for
the Territory He is at the head of n
movement which it is believed viii place
New Mexico as the fOrty-siXth star upon
the national emblem, and that, too, per
haps during the present Congress.
There is no reason why New Mexico
should longer be denied statehood" said
Governor Prince. In population, wealth,
and resources she outranks all OF the Ter
ritories more recently admitted, with the
exception OF Utah. which had a larger
population. Her population is much larger
than that OF many of the older States
when they were taken Into the Union.
Statehood would bring a great boom TO
New Mexico"
In recently published interview con-
cerning the reappointment OF Governor
Otero, the statements quoted should have
been attributed to j. Il. Manning secre-
tary of the Republican Reform League.
instead Of TO Governor Prince.
