The Rebuilding OF Galveston.

The slow process OF rebuilding is
never esteemed such n marvel as that
of sudden destruction. Yet the alb
sence of Galveston from display head
lines in the public press does not
signify that the people of that plucky
city have been idle since the great
storm. From one thousand to fifteen
hundred men have been continuously
at work restoring the city to its for
mer condition. Tangible results are
now manifest.
From the strictly practical view
point of commerce the present outlook
Is very encouraging. Wharf sheds
have been almost entirely recon-
structed and all freight offered is
easily handled The three biggest
grain elevators one with Il capacity
of 900, 600 bushels and two with IA ca
pacity of !, 900, 900 bushels each have
been repaired and are in active opera
tion. The Santa he bridge across the
bay, also all railroad approaches and
yards, are again in good shape
traffic being cared for promptly.
This is good news to the vast ter
ritory that makes Galveston its sea
port.

Probate Judges Graft.

Judge Smith, who seems to have an
eternal cinch on the probate iudgeship
of Allen county, has had prosperous
year, but he don't look ecstatically
happy, as one would expect him to.
During the year 1900 heissued licenses
to 240 couples, an increase OF twenty
over the preceding year. That means
that $50 people got married, most Of
them in Allen county, and u goodly
portion, not less than half, were mar
ried by the Judge himself. The por-
ton of $50 out OF total population of
10000 is pretty good, meaning that one
person in every forty-tive tied up.
And then to think that there were 240
brides whom the Judge had chance
to kiss. He didn't kiss all of them,
but nobody knows how many he did
kiss. AS IA matter of fact the probate
iudgeship ought to be given without
pay to able bodied citizens. the sole
element being the smack eXacted from
blushing bridcdom, There are those
who would take the job on those term:
and say "thankee."

THE MAJORITY REPORT.

The majority report in an Introduction quotes
Article of the Treaty Of Paris. the Joint reso-
Iution Of the United States Congress and the
Plat amendment, and then proceeds as follows:
Inasmuch as Secretary Root, being authorized
by President Mckinley. says that the Ptatt law
has for its object the guaranteeing OF the lnoe-
71endence of Cuba, and does not mean lnterter-
ence with its government or the exercise or d
Trotectorate or of sovereignty, and also that IN
terventRon will only take place when lndepehd-
ence is endangered by outside powers OF grave
interior disturbances creating anarchy, ana IN
asmuch as Secretary Root has sald that the
naval stations will not be used for vantage points
of intervention, but only TO protect cuba against
foreign powers we report as follows:
That IN virtue of the fact that the Platt law
in its preamble says il is a fulhiment OF the
Joint resolution, and has been adopted pE S%oh- %
S-ress with the principal object of establishing
independence we do propose TO the convention
10 accept the foSowing as an appendix 10 the
constitution:
The first second fourth and fifth clauses Of
the Platt amendment are quoted in their en-
riretv. The third clause has the following ad-
dition:
II being understood that the United States
have the right 10 intervene to prevent the acton
of A foreign power or disturbances causing
state Of anarchy and that the intervention silall
always be the act Of the United States AN anu ~
of isolated agents. The Intervention shali sup,
pose neither sovereignty nor protectorate' anu
shall only sufficiently long to estabhsh nor nor
NAL conditions Said intervention II is aIso utl- a.
Serstood shall not have the right to interfere III
the government, but only the right 10 preserve
independence
An addition to the sixth clause says that the
ownership Of the Isle of Pines shall be settled
by a future treaty.
An addition TO the seventh clause says:
If shall he understood that the naval stations
do not give the United States the right 10 inter
,yene in the interior government, but are estaD-
lished with the sole purpose of protecting Amer,
ican waters from foreign invasion directed
against Cuba or the United States. Cuba VIII

An addition to the eighth clause says that the
Government Of Cuba suggests at the same time
