ANafianaI Hichway.

Citizeps of Knox county and Knoxville.
Tenn, have resurrected and elaborated a
scheme for dissipating the surplus. They
have, it is announced, prepared aypetition
to Congress that fifty million dollars be ap-
propriated for the construction of a public
highway from Washington to New Orleans
This highway is to be one hundred feet
wide, is to be paved with asphalt, is to have
a Waterman along its whole course and is
to be lighted with electricity. Forty feet
of the roadway are to be reserved for
horses and horse vehicles; forty feet for
motor carriages; ten feet for bicycles and
ten feet for pedestrians. The petition has
already been, or is to be, given to Repre-
sentative Gibson for presentation to the
House of Representatives.
The national highway of prime necessity
is one not between Washington and New
Orleans, but between Washington and
Mount Vernon, the home and tomb Of
him who gave his name to the national cap
ital; whose sword cut the tie that bound
us subjects to a king and whose honesty
and wisdom gave to the republic start in
the right direction in national life.

The Independent Voter,

The growth Of individualism in politics is
one of the lessons taught by the late cleo
tions. Commercial exclusionists, to whom
a tariff schedule is more sacred than a d.
vine command, see in the returns indorse-
nent of their peculiar views; reciprocators
translate the returns to give comfort to
themselves; democrats profess to augur
from the results that the wounds of their
party are healing. But, the feature of the
elections was the prominence of the indie
pendent voter. The ease with which q
VIC ter may now slip through party lines ap-
pals the iron-clad partisan. 1t is no longer
a mortal sin in politics to repudiate can
Gus nominee. Time was, when bolter in
the eyes of many men, perhaps of NEST
men, was contemplate. He was in danger
Of being boycotted by polite society and

time has passed. If the voter shall con-
tinue to progress along the lines indicated
by his conduct on November 5 the occupa-
ton of the caucus manipulation and the
party boss Is in prospect gone.

The Isthmian Troubles.

The fighting in Colombia has come to
more serious stage, as far as the Ameri-
can interests in the isthmus are concerned,
than at any previous period of the trouble.
With the reyolutionists in possession of
Colon the canal question comes at once to
the front. 1t is gratifying, however, to OBJ
serve that the American marines are on
hand to protect the rights and to meet the
treaty obligations OF this government. They
Will serve as a palpable token of the fact
that the United States has in its charge
questions of greater Importance to South
and Central America than the mere read
justment Of administration can possibly
be even to the Immediately affected state
Railway communication is to be kept open
in Colombia The marines at Colon stand
for the American intention to prevent a
permanent or prolonged interruption of the
traffic. ...
The Isthmian canal may eventually prove
even more than the Panama railway a
settling agent. tending to bring about the
gradual cessation of these troublesome re-
volts. The waterway will foster the de-
velopment of trade and the exploitation of
the products of the soil. 1t will serve
gradually to elevate the commercial idea
above the political. In proportion as large
amounts of capital are located in this re-
gion its affairs will become more stable.

Nicotine signs for more worlds to con-
quer. Tobacco is being grown where 1t
was not grown before. 1t was not so long
ago that the experiment Of producing to-
bacco In south Florida was undertaken
and success rewarded the work Of the
planters, so that today thousands of Key
West cigars are made of tobacco grown in
the sand of the Peninsula State. Then to-
bacco that Is fragrant or otherwise ac-
cording to ones smell, taste and opinion, Is
being grown on high lands in the tar
northwest, 1t being said that large strong
stalks have been produced In upland val
leys In Montana. News comes from
across the sea that In a short time there
will be made public the results of expert
ments in tobacco culture in Ireland which,
begun in 1889, were taken in hand last sea-
son by an expert.

her life, all tended to create the impress
sion that only with extreme difficulty could
twelve men be found to answer satisfac-
torily all the queries of counsel and court.
But by rare fortune, or perhaps through
the exercise of more than usual tact and
skill in the handling of talesmen, the jury
was completed within two days. In case
of similar character In New York this
process would undoubtedly have occupied
two weeks at least. while in New Jersey
the jury would doubtless have been in tho
box and listening to the evidence within
two hours from the entry Of the plea.
Washington, 1t will thus be seen, might do
very much worse and also much better.

The Reciprocity Convention.

Well, the free traders did not stampede
the reciprocity convention, and that New
York manufacturer who remained away
through fear Of such action missed good
time. Had he attended he would have met
a large number Of bright men, all, like
himself intensely interested in the policy
of protection, and DESTROYS that 1t be con-
tinued for the benefit Of every American In
dustry still needing It. He would have
heard some excellent addresses in that line
of thought. and he might have been In
spired to speak himself. He undoubtedly
missed something by his absence. Whether
the convention did is a question. Faint
heart does not any more deserve to win in
trade than in love.
No, the protectionists dominated the con-
vention. as was to be expected. Every del
egate had something to show for protection,
and consequently all were advocates of
continuation of the policy. And reciproci-
ty? Why, certainly. Reciprocity, too, and
so arranged as not to injure any branch Of
established American business. But there
came the rub. The Kasson treaties were
clearly not in favor. Their amendment was
not advised. Other special treaties to take
their place and avoid their errors were not
proposed. The way ont was thought to be
take the whole question under considera-
ton and make suggestions to the President
and to Congress. This proposition received
practically a unanimous vote, and there we
are Did the convention justify the call?
Why not? We all know that there were
wide differences of opinion among the bust
ness interests on this subject; that while all
wished for an increased foreign trade there
were difficulties in the way of securing 1t
that would require great skill in the ar
rangements- This Is palmer now than ever
since these long-headed men of practical
affairs have met and compared notes. They
want more trade, and they think it can be
obtained. but they want to go about 1t
little cat-footedly. so not to alarm any
body nor make any mistakes. Softly is
their watchword
But, at last, the question is up to the
President and to Congress. We have Mr.
McKinley's Buffalo speech, which was not
a random utterance. 1t meant something
We have the figures. showing the extent of
our trade and the necessity for wider fields

of drummers. Now what shall we do to be
saved? We have the most alert rivals the
business world has ever known 1t will

Lord salisbury's Mistake
Iaudnn cable sava.

I'm a letter conveying an expression of
his thanks for vote Of confidence in the
policy of the government, Lord Salisbury
administers the following characteristic re-
buke to pro-Boers in Great Britain:
81. We need such encouragement, for Eng.
land Is. believe, the only country in which
during a great war eminent men write and
speak publicly as il they belonged to the
enemy"
What's the matter with the United
States? Why are we ignored? Has any
pro-Boer Englishman assailed his govern
ment in severer terms than have been en-
ployed against this government by those
Americans who sympathize with the Fill
pinos? Lord Salisbury has simply been
too busy Of late to read the American
newspapers, or has neglected to subscribe
for the pamphlets of the Anti-Imperiallst
League. England Is not entitled to the
lone eminence to which he assigns her.
1t is curious. indeed, how closely the anti
government arguments in the two cases re-
semble each other. The Atkinsonians have
always contended that the Filipinos were
forced into hostilities. 1t has awaited moth
ing to point out to them how carefully
Aguinaldo had prepared for war; how he
had drilled his men and infused into Nhem
the spirit of resistance to the Americans,
and that he struck the first blow. The
Atkinsonians still insist that we had 10
proper business in the country, that we
carried ourselves insultingly and agrees
sively toward brave people aspiring to
liberty, and that our conduct meets with
Reproduction as that Of bully. They did
not spare even as amiable a man as Mr..
Mckinley, and Mr.. Roosevelt of course can
expect no mercy at their hands. They arc
not, even now, without hope of forcing the
government to abandon it's policy and with
draw from the scene. At least they say
they are not.
Doesn't this about describe the pro-Boer
attitude in England? Isn't it contended
that Mr.. Kruger was forced into HOSTILE
ties? Does it avail anything to point out
how long and carefully the Beers prepared
for war; how thoroughly prepared they
were when war came, and that they boldly
rode over into English territory and struck
the first blow? The pro-Boers still insist
that their countrymen in South Africa, ma
npulated by few disreputable millionaires
in London were at the bottom of all the
trouble, and that even now the British gov
eminent should call halt and restore the
Beers to their former power. The Boer in
arms, they assert, is the hero; the English
man in arms the bully.
Lord Salisbury in this matter has spoken
without sufficient, Information, and revealed
the fact that he has missed some choice
exhibitions of how vigorously men of emf
hence may play an enemy's game against
their own country. The Morleys and the
Laboucheres are well enough in their way,
but they cannot hold a candle to the At
kinsons, the Boutwells, and the Bradfords
when it comes to giving ones own govern
ment a black eye and bad reputation.

The Autumn Rose.

Unnoted in my garden blooms
A lone, belated rose.
No other flower there presumes
Its radiance to disclose.
No butterfly, with graceful wing,
Salutes it 'mongst the fair;
Yet June day memories round 1t cling,
Though frost Is in the air.
All. foolish rose-to waste your charm
Upon a careless world!
The wiser blossoms took alarm,
With petals long since furled.
Yet they who know the worth Of life
Will prize you DER the rest.
Who lightly smiled when smiles were rife
And fled at winters test.
When fortune CLEANS with balmy cheer
Across the toilsome way,
Fond fiattery blossoms far and near
And gilds the passing day.
But tits the love that does not part
When chill disaster blows
That 1 would press unto my heart
Close, with the autumn rose.

Smoke Abatement at st. Louis.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times
Too much approval cannot be expressed
of the plan of the managers Of the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition in 1903, to be held
in st. Louis, to make 1t in every detail a
demonstration of the fact that the burning
of bituminous coal can be effected without
the usual accompaniment of sulphurous and
tormenting smoke. The Smoke Abatement
Association Of st. Louis has taken the mat
ter in hand, and, with the approval and CO.
operation of the directors of the fair, pro-
poses to show the world that soft coal can
be burned with economy without injurious
smoke. Primarily, the exhibition itself is
preservation of the beauty Of the buildings
and the value of their contents. All coal
consumed in the grounds must be smoke
lessly burned. and an effort will be made TO
induce the railroads running trains 10
points near the Enclosure to adopt smoke
consuming devices for their locomotive en-
gines.
