rLArr AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.

The acceptance of the Plat amend
ment by the Cuban Constitutional Con,
vention appears to have been received
in Washington with genuine satisfaction
Mr.. Root. Secretary OF War. is quoted as
saying that the Cubans had acted wise
ly; had done the most patriotic thing
possible for Cuba; that Cuba's independ-
ence was assured and that now all that
is best and freest in Cuba would be
States.
This is taken to mean that American
troops will be Withdrawn from the ISL
and at the earliest practical moment. and
that the control of Cuban affairs will be
turned over to the Cubans. 1t is pretty
safe to say that Cuba will never have
occasion to complain OF any interference
in her public affairs as long as she re-
spects the letter and spirit of the Plat
amendment
AS pointed out by Senator Plat the
author of the amendment which bears
is not to establish a protectorate over
Cuba, but TO assist her in maintaining
her independence. She is a long way
yet from being established upon a firm
foundation as a republic. There are
many things she will have to contend
with before she has a government of her
own in working order. 1t is not at all
improbable that there will be occasions
in the very near future when she will
agree with Secretary Roots remark,
namely, that she did the wisest thing it
was possible for her to do when she ac-
cepted the amendment.
1t is pretty certain if there We're no re-
straining authority like the Plat amend
ment Cuba would have internal troubles
before she had proceeded very far to-
wards establishing a government. There
are differences among her people that it
will not be easy to harmonic. But the
fact that the United States stand ready
to see to it that law and order are up
held and that stable and liberal govern
ment is established will prevent outbreaks
of violence, and restrain those who may
be inclined to have their way by means
of force.
And with the Platt amendment in force
it is not possible for the island to become
burdened with debt greater than it can
pay. All things considered therefore,
there are many reasons for thinking that
the Cubans acted wisely in accepting the

MARYLANn,s CENSUS FRAUps.

The grand jury of the United States
District Court at Baltimore has placed
the blame for the Maryland census
frauds where it belongs-on the shoulders
of the politicians and Congress. 1t will
be remembered that in the counties of
St Mary's, Charles and Anne Arundel
the enumeration rolls were padded by the
addition of hundreds of names that had
no legal right to be counted. Some of
the names were of dead persons, and
others were of persons who had removed
to other counties and sometimes to 9TH
er states. 1t has been charged, and never
disproved. that some of the enumerators
were furnished with lists of names copied
from tombstones and instructed to add
them TO the enumera ton lists if neces-
sary to swell the apparent population 10
a desired figure. And it was further
charged that the frauds were perperated
at the instigation of political managers,
of the Republican party, for the further
ance of their own purposes.
After it's investigation the grand jury
reported that the frauds existed, that
they were tOiiillALtth lOA ppliAiDol HAA
poses, and that they were made possible
by the fact that the method of appointing
the enumerators was political. Some
action on the part OF the government to
correct this system of making appoint
ments is called for" said the grand jury.
"Enumerators were generally selected by
the political leaders in the districts, thus
placing the appointees more or less I'M
der the influence of politicians. So long
as such appointments are treated as
part of the spells of politics the recur-
renee of such frauds and scandals as
have been revealed by our investigation
may be expected"
When the census bill was before Con-
gress the Republican politicians, under
the lead of Grosvenor of Ohio and 9TH
ers, made an onslaught upon the civil SER
vice feature of it with such effect as to
permit of making political patronage of
the appointments. Some part of the let
ter of the merit system was retained, in
so far as examinations were concerned,
but the spirit of it was killed by quail
fications which placed it in the power of
the bosses to make their own selections.
The result was seen in the Maryland
counties named above. The bosses there
needed a larger population than actually
existed in order to get increased represen-
tation in the legislature, so they order
ed counted the dead and the absent VIII
the government take action to correct"
the system? Is it likely that any Repub-
lican Congress will be different in polit-
ical morals from the one that took all
the starch out of the civil service law
as ii applied to the census? Congress is
to blame, and the way to deal with Con-
gress is to turn the rascals out"

MIR. RRYAN,s SUGGESTION.

Mr.. Bryan suggests that the Democrats
nominate Mr.. Justice Harlan for President
in 1904. He says that Justice Harlan was
against the Republicans in the Porto Ri
can cases, the sugar trust case and the
income tax case.
He thinks that with such record on
three prominent questions he ought TO
find favor with those Democrats who
want to reorganize the Democratic party,
but he says he is afraid that Justice Har-
Ian would not suit the Gold Democrats,
who would rather have a Democrat who
indorses Republican policies than a Re
publican who supports Democratic poll
cies.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan is getting face
tious. Finding that he cannot win the
Gold Democrats over to his way of think
ing he is inclined to have a little fun at
their expense.
But he ought not to have set the presi-
Dental bee buzzing about the ears of Jus
tice Harlan. That good man may not be
able to sleep after he reads Mr. Bryan's
article calling attention 90 his available
ity as a candidate of the Democratic
party for President in 1904. And Mr..
Bryan would be very much surprised
man if Democrats generally should be in
clined to take his suggestion seriously.
Justice Harlan is a big man Intellectual
ly as well as physically.

OIL IN FLORIDA.

1t would not be surprising If the report
of the finding of oil in Florida should
prove to be true That state is one of
great possibilities. 1t has been only a
few years since phosphate rock was dis
covered there, and since the discovery
tens OF thousands, perhaps millions of
tons of the rock have been mined and
sent to various parts of the world. Sew
eral other miperalo have been discovered
in the state, although very little has been
done towards finding out what it's min
eral resources are.
According to the report, oil has been
discovered in the vicinity of Dunnellon.
Confirmation of the report is awaited with
great interest. 1t will take time of
course to find out whether or not there
is a genuine oil field, even if it should
be shown satisfactorily that abe signs Of
such a field exist. Long ago 1t was
believed by some that there was an oil
field in the vicinity OF Beaumont. Texas
but the belief was not strong enough to
induce any one to invest money in the
sinking of an oil well in that locality I'M
I'll recently
1t is said that there has been talk for
some years about signs of oil in the vi
entity OF Dunnellon. II so no one has had
much faith in the signs. Just what in
duced abe recent prospecting for oil in
that locality. assuming there has been
prospecting, has not yet made its way in
to the public prints. If it be true, how
ever. that oil has been found there IL
will not be long before she public will
have the benefit of a number of accounts
Of the ind.
AS far as we know there is just as much
reason for oil in Florida as there is in
Texas. Nobody thought there was any
reason for deposits OF phosphate rock
there until rock was discovered, and then
there were any number Of theories for
che presence Of the deposits

prove TO be correct there would be a

WHAT SORT OF MEN DID THEY Ex-

1t seems from what the Philadelphia
papers are saying about the delegates to
the convention of the Southern Industrial
Association which met in that city on
Tuesday, that the people there expected
the Southern delegates would look very
much like the pictures of typical South
erners" which Puck and Judge some-
times print. For instance, a local article
in the North American, speaking of the
delegates from the South, says: so in
attire, any Of these Southerners from
Southern cities might have been out OF
ticed to the contrary. AS for the men of
the cotton and tobacco plantations of the
Middle South and the cattle country OF
the Southwest. they, too. are also con-
ventional in attire-and sun Drowned and

a Philadelphia can pay Southerner to
say that he is as we'll dressed as the
men that are seen on Chestnut street.

Mn. pENMARK,s DEATH.

In the death of Brantley A Denmark,
Savannah has suffered a loss that will be
keenly felt by a large portion of her citi-
zens The announcement of his death that
was made yesterday morning was received
with profound sorrow throughout the city
and the state.
Mr. Denmark home was here in Savannah
from the time he reached mans estate
and his life was an example for young
men who are ambitious to achieve the
best kind of success. He was an honest
man. He was trusted implicitly. There
was never a suspicion of his integrity
Therefore large interests were intrusted
TO him, and. possessing ability of a high
order. his success in business and in his
profession was great.
He was a charitable man. No worthy
charity ever appealed to him unsuccess-
fully. He was ever ready to put his hand
in his pocket to assist the needy. And al
though at times somewhat positive in
manner he had a kind heart, He was firm
in his convictions but was careful TO do
no injustice to any one. There are few
who live closer to what they believe to
be right than he did. And he will be
missed, greatly missed, in this commun-
ity, where he played an important part
in the affairs of individuals and corpora
