DOUBTFUL MEDICATION.

1t is now said that Arthur Pue Cor
a of Maryland is satisfied with
the results of last Tuesdty's election,
as he regards the outcome in the n a
ture of a vindication of himself and
his course in the senate. 1t is also
said that he does not car to go back
to the senate, but aspires higher, his
ambition being to occupy the white
house, still should he be elected to
the former place he would serve until
the end OF his term and then go gun
ming for the presidency.
II the reports annapolis are
to be relied upon, Mr.. Germans vindi-
cation is of the kind that no man real
ly honest and upright would care to
have. Frauds of the rankest kind are
charged against the democratic party
and already notices have been served
by the republicans that they intend to
contest the election of about every
democrat who claims to have been
CISCCSu. IIOOl is Sdlu 10 ne dC mana
that hundreds of republican tickets
were fraudulently thrown out by
means of ante-election schemes evolv-
ed by the party which claims to have
been successful and whose success
German regards as a personal vindi-
cation and endorsement of himself.
The fact that the republicans give
warning that they will contest the re-
suits must be accepted as proof that
they believe gross and outrageous
frauds have been committed by the
democrats and that they believe them
selves able to support the charge by
evidence of the right kind. Should
they be able to do this, Mr.. Germans
vindication will lack a great deal of
that completeness which would make
it the source Of pride to himself and
to his supporters. In fact
It VIII be far short Of being a first

THE COURSE OF BUSINESS.

Minneapolis Journal: The condi-
ton of general trade is eminently sat
isfactory, but the great iron and steel
industry is still handicapped by the
car shortage, which, of course, affects
the activities of the flour and grain
shippers of the northwest. The west
ern freight traffic, indeed, is yet some
what demoralized by lack of cars, and
freight has accumulated heavily at the
leading shipping centers. Last week
some lake steamers declined further
contracts for the season through de-
1cient a service needed to handle
freights. The warehouses in the
northwest are overcrowded with
freight awaiting shipment. In order
to relieve the pressure the American
Railway association has taken steps
to change the rules for exchange car
service, so that the per diem basis
will again come into use and lead to
the more prompt return of borrowed
cars.
Car shortage has raised the price of
pig iron a little. The iron and steel
plants have plenty of work on hand
and orders several months ahead. The
demand for raw material by the tex
tile industries is very large, showing
a lively demand for finished goods.
This is notably the case with wool,
the active buying of last week con-
tinuing and prices are u cent to 1
cent higher than two weeks ago. The
retail trade is active everywhere, and,
in consequence, there is a heavy de-
mand upon the government for small
denomination notes, which, under the
law of March IA, 1900, must be silver
certificates exclusively. and these
have been rushed out in great volume,
but being printed on green and unsea-
soned paper, they have worn out very
rapidly and are returned as multilated
currency to the treasury, and it is
difficult for the government presses
to keep up with the demand for addi-
tional small notes. The demand for
nickels and pennies is very heavy, in
dicating the great strength of the re-
tail trade.
The bank c%learings for the week ag-
gregated 2,OO7, 3ss,15s, of which $779,.
103,379 was outside of New York, the
increase of the aggregate over last
year, corresponding week, being 28.4
per cent and 28.1 per cent outside of
New York. The gold exports this
week aggregated $2,75O, 000-not as
large as raj expected. The exports

A BETTER WAY.

According to reports from Washing.
ton President Roosevelt favors reci-
procity along the lines which promise
the best results without in any way
sacrificing the element of protection
to American Industries. Instead of
negotiating reciprocal treaties with
foreign countries, he suggests the
adoption of a system of minimum and
maximum duties, similar to the tar
itf system adopted by France, where
the maximum duties are imposed upon
imports from countries that grant no
concessions to that nation, while the
minimum is conceded to countries
that grant like concessions to it.
This system was recommended by
Commissioner Kasson, when he ne
gotiated the reciprocity treaties now
pending in the senate, and which he
explained in detail when before the
senate committee on foreign relations.
The reason he negotiated the treaties
JCSduo0 ulluCl t1O law
he was unable to do anything else and
urged a change of laws so as to meet
the minimum tariff of France, the
country witt, which it is especially de-
sired to enter into reciprocal relations.
The republican leaders to whom
the president has submitted a rough
draft of his forthcoming message in
which he deals with the subject of
reciprocity are f%avorably impressed
with his ideas and say that the adop-
ton of the maximum and minimum
tariff system is much more feasible
than the negotiation of reciprocity
treaties by the state department, as
the latter method clothes the execu-
tive department with the power 10
revise the revenue legislation Of con-
gress, and which they regard, strictly
speaking, as unconstitutional. Under
the Dingley bill the change could be
made easily and readily, as many of
the duties it imposes could be leiC as
the maximum rates and minimum
rates could be fixed for nations that
grant like concessions. Other rates
could be left as the minimum, with
the maximum rate to be fixed by con
gress and which could be applied
against countries that impose their
maximum rates against this. The
great body of the bill could be left
as it now stands and a revision of the
tariff would not be necessary. The
president would simply be vested with
the authority to retaliate against
countries that fixed a higher rate of
duties on imports from this country
than on those from others that are
given the benefit of the minimum.

which crushed formidable opposition

In the current Review Of Reviews by
aptain John H. Parker Of the Twenty
eighth infantry. He there advocates
the two methods of completing the
work of pacification that are now be-

nature of the task, which must he per,

Captain Parker conclusively shows
what they must be in this case.

If France and Russia really intend to
combine forces and compel Turkey to
make reforms in the governments Of
Armenia and the European provinces
of the Ottomen empire, they will be
entitled to the thanks of the entire
civilized world, regardless of the
means they may employ to bring the
sultan to terms and force him to keep
the pledges made by him in the treaty
of Berlin.

The democrats of Maryland believe
in adhering to old methods. Instead
of going to the laborious and costly
expedient of remodleing their state
constitution by the insertion of the
grandfather" clause and thus dis
franchising the negro and by other
methods make it almost impossible for
white republicans to vote, they make
use of the ancient and simpler way of
throwing out republican votes and
thus render democratic defeat impos-
sible. 1t was by the adoption of this old
style of democratic manipulation OF
the returns that German managed to

The train has been leaving Houston at 80

fans have found the train great conve'
nlence, enabling them TO do business at
Beaumont and live al home, but the traffic
for which the train was intended has so
fallen off as to not justify the continuation.
The trip will he made Thursday as usual.
