PASSING OF CONhUNIPAN
The Once Popular Resort
Is Now the Home Of
Factories.

Many of the large yachts which once
had their anchorage in the Communipaw
Bay have of late been forced to seek other
quarters. This is due to the filling n. of
the bay by the New Jersey Central Rail-
road There is now left only small
from the bay to deep water, and in
short time even this will be closed. Inc
section of the bay thus shut off will then
be useless so far as boating is concerned.
Boathouse keepers will soon be compel-
ed to give up business in that section,
and other small businesses in that section
must necessarily go to the wall to make
way for this railroad improvement and
the new factories. Not many years ago
Communipaw was popular residential
section and many wealthy families re-
sided there In the summer months
thousands of people used to visit what
was then generally known as the
.shore," which offered excellent facili-
tets for bathing and boating. In the bay
there was an abundance of fish.
The picturesque spot has been sacri-
feed to industrial progress and while us
beauty is gone forever the people realize
that the change was necessary. Ii was
an easy row from Communipaw shore 10
the Statute of Liberty and thousands of
parties have made the trip. To row
around it was something to talk about
The old Drovers' Hotel on Phillip street,
which was frequented by cattlemen from
all parts of the country when the an-
battoir was located there is now in
state of decay and in it reside families OF
nearly all nationalities under the sun.
Communfpaw was prosperous in those
days, but began to make objections about
the unpleasant odors coming from the
abbatoir so it was forced to move away.
After that Communipaw was not so pros
porous.
For years a quaint old Methodist
Church stood on Communipaw avenue
within a stones throw of the shore
When it was first erected it was attend
ed principally by the fishermen Of that
section of whom there were a great num-
ber in those days This church, which is
probably one of the Oldest in HUDSON
County was converted into a saloon few
years ago and passing on the outside no
one would know that 1t had ever been a
house of worship There are numerous
other changes which have not improved
| the beauty of the place. "Knicker-
bockers'' would certainly not recognize 1T
now. In a few years it will have become
a busy manufacturing section and Com
munipaw Bay will be forgotten.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH

The Industrial development of the
south during the last few years has been
most remarkable and no stronger evi-
dence could be adduced In justification
Of the American policy for building up
domestic Industries.
During 1900 the number of spindles
increased in the United States by about
100000. OF this increase only 197, 1000
new spindles are credited to all the
states outside the south. The growth
Of the cotton manufacturing business
in this country last year was practically
southern states. There will probably
not be such an increase this year, nor
will the increase as 1t does appear show
such propOrtionate gain by the south
over the north. There will not be as
many new spindles In the south this
year. and several large mills are being
built in New England whose spindles
will figure in the growth Of the industry
i'm the north in 1901. But If cotton con-
tinues to hold its present price there is
dustrial south will end. At the present
figures cotton Is profitable in all its
phases of growth, sale and manufac-
ture. A drop In prices is to be expected
but it is not believed it will ever go as
low as 1t was three or four years ago
when 41a or 5 cents was all the farmer
could get. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion that cotton prices will In
time find their way down to basis OF
about 7 cents and there will stay, sub
ject to the usual slight fluctuations. The
cotton crop Of the current year will
bring to the planters of the south ovei
$500, 100000, and still not one-third OF
the available cotton land Is under cult
walton.
In view of these facts it is not surpris
ing that the cotton interest of the soutf
is practically unanimous In favor. of the
United States holding on to the territory
acquired in the far east.

GROVE AND HIS PALS.

Baltimore American: Pat Grove has re-
sUmed letter-wr!ting. Mr.. Grove made
postage expenses ont Of his last Job.
st. Paul Globe Talking OF Pat Grove re-
calls the fact that the crow is the bravest
bird known, as 1t never shows the white
feather.
Omaha Mercury: There seems to be
little doubt that one of the Cudahy
kdnapers Is now locked up in the
county jail. James Callahan. IL he is
guilty. may consider himself fortunate In
not having been arrested Immediately after
the crime, as he would then have run the
risk OF being strung up by a mob.
Minneapolis Tribune: Pat Grove is
said to have written letter offer
Ing to return to Omaha and clear him
self OF suspicion II he can be assured Of
immunity from mob violence, but Mr.
Cudahy is skeptical OF the genuneness Of
the offer. We suggest that he have that
Iowa editor and the st. Paul detective
searched before he bites on the proposition.
Pittsburg Chronicle: The very much
lost Pat Grove seems disposed to
find himself, IL the letter alleged
to have been written by him to Mr.
r. A. Cudahy Of Omaha, be verified as
genuine Grove composition. The Omaha
police and the detectives employed to fer
ret out the kidnapers Of young Cudahy
long ago came to the conclusion that Pat
Grove was the chief william. This con-
viction was SO positive and was seemingly
SO substantiated by circumctantian, proof.
that all further search for the criminal was
swallowed up In frantic hunt for Patrick.
That individual himself now propounds an
entirely new theory. He declares that he
is not only not guilty. but that he will
come forward in person to prove his in
nocence. This new turn in the celebrated
kidnapping sensation Is interesting. Now
that Mr. Grove says he is innocent OF
course his recent timidity about appearing
in public will be all the harder to explain,
but. as he seems willing to undertake the
task. the police should not put anything
In the way OF his trying II.

BUSINESS Is BUSINESS.
John Bulls Itching Palm Visible in
Cuban Affairs.
Washington Po,


While few of our statesmen are en-
ploying their wits to interpret interna e
tionai conventions in the interest OF Great
BRITAIN the consular and commercial
agents or that country have been quite as
pusy III CUBA, almost at our very threshold,
In seeking to shape the future Cuban rela =
tions to the United States In such a man
ner as to insure to John Bull the best end
or the commercial treaties. 1t may be we'll
TO call the attention of these gentlemen
to the existing facts by way Of a timely sug-
gestion to save them from possible future
embarrassment and humiliation, for that
they VIII sooner or later be disappointed In
their expectations Of realizing upon the
friendship which Great Britain is manifest
Ing for us is a foregone conclusion. Sem
timent is sentiment and business is busi-
ness and that the kings government Is
not silent and disinterested spectator Of
the events In Cuba is evidenced by the rev.
elation that the agents of the English gov
ernment have been carefully looking out
for its interests during the progress Of the
constitutional convention.
1t is said by men whose words can be re-
lied upon, who have been on the scene for
months. that England has kept far more
observant watch out for her trade oppor-
tunities than is realized by this govern
ment or the American people. 1t is pointed
out that the trade Of Cuba is big enough
TO hight FOR and England has not allowed
sentiments OF friendship to interfere with
her business interests. 1t would be folly to
assume that Great Britain would SO far
take up an untenable position as to make
the Cuban people cold -biooded business
proposition, That would not be her way
OF gaining an advantage. But subtle sug-
gestions were made to some OF the dele
gates through the big commercial and finan :.
cial houses and other agencies that they
should not commit their country to special
commercial treaties with the United States.
because, after all. Europe car do great
deal for Cuba In the way OF commerce"
To what extent this influence has had
any effect remains to be seen. That such
influence was employed will not be doubted
by any one in rational state OF mind II
II possesses any interest in the abstract or
otherwise, 1t is, in so far as II teaches an
instructive lesson, by no means new to
some OF our Anglophobe statesmen that no
reliance is to be placed upon a government
which invades our preserves and with un-
scrupulous energy seeks to divert from us
the legitimate fruits OF our costly policy
1t is not expected that this revelation
OF Great Britain's duplicity will have the
least effect in quarters here where the
Machiavellian spirit OF Interpretation, so
far as England Is concerned, holds royster-
Ing sway. Far from It. We are prepared
to hear that the act is one OF special be-
nevolence toward us and a distinct mani
festation OF Britains good will.

rIrs FOR NEBRASKA LAWMAKERS

Kansas City Star: The attention OF Ne
braska and Delaware is called to oregon,
which has just broken the senatorial dead
lock.
Baltimore American: The Nebrs ska leg
islature has before IL bill TO prohibit
newspaper cartoons. The bill is not likely
to suppress cartoons, but 1t does show how
they hurt.
Buffalo Express: Possibly the wisest
course which the Nebraska republicans
could follow to get out OF the muddle they
are in over the election of two United
States senators is to consult with certain
members OF the republican national com
mittee. as suggested by Henry c. Payne.
IL is certain that the prospect Of the dead
lock being broken as matters are going
is anything but bright.
Brooklyn Eagle: The chaplain OF the Ne
braska legislature recently returned thanks,
In a prayer that "the members OF this
Legislature can come and go between their
homes and the legislative halls with such
ease and such little expense to themselves. -
This has made members indignant, because
OF the implication that railroad passes are
used What they should do is to pass a
law obliging chaplains to conhne them
selves to generalitles. This would be no
farther out Of the way than some legislation
passed by western legislatures.

OUR DUTY IN CHINA.

Baltimore American: China must either
fight or submit. Her smile. that is child
like and bland will no longer be able TO win
delay from the powers tired OF the wilcs
OF Oriental diplomacy. But the final set
tlement Will leave some points TO be scored
on the Chinese side OF the question, for the
allies have not illustrated in practice the
teaching Of the Christian missionaries and
the natives may take less kindly than ever
to being Christianized.
Philadelphia Times; The ENJOYS of the
Christian powers at Pekin have at length
agreed upon the precise number OF heads
that will satisfy the missionary sense OF
justice. One Chinese prince is to be
strangled. second is to be decapita ted.
two others are to be permitted to stransle
themselves and the ministers are to enjoy
the spectacle OF the beheading OF two at
Pekin. There is here a choice assortment
OF horrors that should satisfy the most
exacting. While II may be true that the
exaction of these punishments is necessary
to make a due impression on the Chinese,
the whole spirit OF the negotiations is ut
terly repulsive.
Springfield Republican: What are the
legitimate American claims upon China :?
Are there any that compel the United States
government to remain a member OF this
predatory concert In order TO satisfy them
Surely the Chinese have been already suf-
ficient1y punished and their government has
been sufficiently humiliated to satisfy either
our pride or our desire for vengeance. AS
for a money indemnity for the losses of
American citizens, why should we insist
upon immediate payment from China when
the government permits the sultan Of Tur-
key to dawdle along for years before set
Ting his just accounts? Let the United
States cut loose from it's "allies" and fol-
low the golden rule by treating China like
any other nation. as Sir Robert Hart ad-
vises the whole western world to do We
shall thereby profit as much and more in
the end

obtained had there been competition for
the islands.
The history of the negotiations Is in
teresting. They have been internationally
in progress for a number of years. At
the outset Denmark wanted very much
larger sum for the islands than she Is
now willing to take and at that time
the United States was willing to pay for
the islands Il great deal more than they
can now he purchased for. When the
matter was first discussed between the
two governments Denmark wanted
about S10,0OO,00O for the islands. Sub
sequently the amount was reduced to
$7,0OO,OO0 and now. according to the
latest advices, the islands can be had
FOR n little more than one-fourth of the
amount originally proposed.
IL Is of course a question whether
this country really needs the Danish
West Indies. 1t is purely a military
proposition. In the opinion of those who
urge their purchase they are important
and necessary as n naval base. 1t Is
urged that If they should fall into the
hands of a foreign power other than
Denmark It would be menace to the
United States. On the other hand 1t IL
asserted that not only Is the possession
OF these islands unnecessary to the Sc
curlty of the United States, but there
Is absolutely no danger of their transfer
ence from Denmark to any other Euro
pean power-that If that country does
not sell them to the United States IL
will retain possession Of them, because
this country will not permit their trans
fer to any other power.
The question Is not one of command
ing Importance, since 1t involves only n
relatively small sum of money, yet 1t is
not without interest, particularly in view
of the fact that regarded as a matter of
investment the islands would probably
prove to be anything but remunerative.

CATTLE MEN TO ORGANIZE.

Men who are interested In the range
cattle industry of the west are just now
preparing for the convention which
meets at Denver next week, the object
of which Is to form an association to be
composed exclusively of cattle men. The
necessity for this action has gradually
been forced upon them, until it has
finally come to be considered almost alb
solutely necessary to the preservation Of
their interests.
1t Is not only the competition for the
range urged upon the cattle man by
the sheep owner that has compelled the
proposed action. All the various ramifi-
cations of the cattle business converge
now at point which indicates the ne
cessity for close association and con
certed action. Many local and state as
sociations exist, scattered all over the
west, but there Is no central body which
can provide for the common interests Of
all. IL is to remedy this condition that
the new association is planned.
While much has been said Of the con-
fict between the sheep men and the
cattle men, there are other things to be
settled of equal importance to all. In
the very outset, the encroachment of
agriculture on the; free range goes on
year after year, until the once limit
less pastures on which the herds roamed
in freedom have dwindled down to a
narrow remnant. There Is stil much
Iaft x,,lt q. %, It,,r,
purposes, but 1t is not sufficiently
adapted to grazing to support the great
herds that are necessary to supply the
demand for beef furnished by American
growers. Here is one of the first things
that will engage the attention of the
new association. How to conserve the
range will not be an easy question to
answer. Another point which has re-
ceived much local consideration by the
individual associations, but on which no
general action has been taken, is the
matter of seeding the exhausted range,
to the end that its grasses may be re-
stored. In this work the efforts of the
united cattle men will have to be sup
plemented by the general government,
for the undertaking is too large for pri-
vate enterprise. The cattle men are also
interested. in the preservation of the
water supply, and must secure among
themselves an adjustment Of mutual
rights in this regard.
These are only n few Of the leading
points which will come before the Den
yer gathering. Nebraska, as one of the
great stock raising states Of the west, Is
vitally concerned in the affairs of the
proposed association and should be well
represented at the convention.
