An Incident Ky stock Specializing
FURRY That Henry Glews
Does Not Tell.

Henry Clews, the New York stock
broker, is very kindly man and de-
lights in doing good. Naturally he
figured to some extent in the recent
Wall street operations, and story
is told OF him that he has vainly
tried to sidetrack, says New York
exchange.
An army officer stationed in the
Philippines has been sending home
his salary for his wife to save. She
sought to add to it by taking flyer
in Wall street. She had invested
every dollar of her husbands savings,
and in the recent panic all were
swept away. She appealed to Henry
Clews, with whose firm she had dealt.
eff I show you the way to get
your money back, will you promise
me that you will not speculate
AGAIN." asked the broker.
Indeed WILL" tearfully assented
the woman.
well, here's your money; now keep
out of the market"
Clews said afterward that he had
not invested the money.

CUBA TO BE MIXED.
Certain Protected Interests In This
Country Getting Ready to
Do business.

When Senator Platt talks about
what is morally incumbent" on the
United States in the case of Cuba he is
deceiving no one, not even himself.
If the Cubans accept his amendment
it will not be because they believe
such yielding will procure them any
favors here. II will be simply and
solely because they are convinced that
the surrender is unavoidable. The
equivalent to the use of force, and
even the independents grasp at the
amendment now TO avoid the alterna-
tive of annexation.
Prospective reciprocity may seem to
be factor in the matter, but if reso-
luton of congress can be construed
out of its plain meaning what do
the part of single senator amount
to? Should the CubanS pretend to
take them seriously it would only be
for the somewhat sterile satisfaction
of piling up the morals" to make
them artistically complete. They
would know as we'll as any American
politician that the practical side of the
question was left untouched. Its i'm
port, however, is not mystery. 1t
was quite apparent when the National
Cigar Leaf association decided to
lobby against any concession what
ever to Cuba.
The undeniable fact is that certain
interests in this country propose to
milk Cuba. If we control the island
under the Platt amendment they will
oppose reciprocity. If we annex the
island they will oppose free trade.
They have no thought of uniform laws
and If they believed that annexation
would bring them about they would
throng the corridors of the capitol tx
prevent any such contamination. Til,
| kind of annexation which they nigh
favor would leave Cuba outside til.
constitution and under unequal laws
| made in Washington. This would be
| an Ideal condition from their stand
point and particularly advantageous
for the milking process.
1t is evident, therefore, why tn.
Cuban radicals prefer the amendmen,
to annexation, whatever they ma,
think of the chances OF reciprocity
The developments incline them t,
keep as clear as possible from the do
tation of the hostile interests here.
The people of the United State
would honor our pledges to Cuba, bu
trade interests have no bowels.-Ch

NOT A LONESOME PRESIDENT.

haye in his cabinet Thomas Jefferson,
respected and adored for almost cen
fury by a great political party, but
who was one of the mOat selfish poll
ticians that ever lived in high or low
station in this republic. There is moth
ing in the career Of Washington, not
even excepting the cherry-tree story,
which SO .nanifests his enlightened
Christianity as tie fact that he called
Thomas jefferson into bis cabinet and
always treated him with ainah,ess and
courtesy.
When Thomas Jefferson became
president he was subjected to criticism
for every movement that he made; and
eyan his great achievement, the Louis
lana purchase, which made possible
the expansion OF this imperial repub-
lie, subjected him to all manner of vio-
lent and vile, insidious and open at
tacks upon the floors OF both houses
Of the congress. as well as in the pub
lie prints.
With Monroe WAS usnerea in the
"era of good feeling" Peace had come
end the country freed from war was
so happy that it would not listen with
any sort of patience to any party dis.
agreements or chickering's. Even jack
son, that grim political fighter of after
years, wrote to the new president and
counseled him to harmony, saying:
"Now is the time to e4terminate that
monster called party spirit and ad.
vised him TO select his cabinet and
other officers without regard to par
ty, telling him "the chief magistrate of
great and powerful nation sheuld
never indulge in party feelings"

SPEECHES OF THE PRESIDENT
outcroppinss of Tendency to Lay
Aside the Old Chinese Wall of
Duties Idea,

The character of the presidents
speeches has been surprise even to
his party friends. With no elections
in sight, and with the next session Of
congress more than six months off, it
was supposed that Mr., McKinley's re-
sponses to the greetings en- route
would be made up of that pleasant
oratorical compound known as
"taffy." Instead of this, the presi-
dent has not only reaffirmed his adj
herence to Expansion" which he has
good reason to know is popular at
the south, but has boldly limited at
progressive economic and commercial
policy.
1t was announced before the presi-
dents departure from Washington
that during his trip he would be reg
ularly informed of the progress of
the plans for local revenues in Porto
Rico, and the moment the expenses
of the island are met by its local
revenues the proclamation of free
trade between Porto Rico and the
United States will issue, wherever the
president may be, though of course it
will be dated from Washington" This
action will offend the tobacco and
sugar growers of this country, who
have protested that "free trade" with
our new possessions will spell ruin to
them. But the president forestalled
this complaint in his Memphis speech
in saying that "maxims are not as
profitable as markets." and by adj
monishing his hearers that we must
"solve the problems that confront III
untrammeled by the past"
Some of the old republican maximi
about the beauties of a one-sidet
| trade behind Chinese wall of duties
once expressed in the question o
sprsad-eagle western senator
"What is abroad to us?" have beef
smashed by the logic of trade events
of the last four years. We have a,
| enormous foreign trade and ar,
| reaching for more.

identity purposes to shape the polio.

much "trammeled by the past"

Much ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Giant Trees of the Pacific Coast Have
Never Been in Jeop-
nrdy

Statements in the California papers
that the sequoias have no commercial
value are apt to create surprise at
all the effort that has been needed to
begin the work of making these gil
ant trees public instead of private
property in order to preserve them.
If they have sentimental value only
no great price should be asked for
them. Indeed, that is the argument
addressed to the eastern owner of
the Calaveras grove, with whom the
national government is dickering.
Hitherto it has been threatening I'M
less his price was paid to convert
the trees into lumber, when "every
lumberman knows that the trees are
of no value for milling" says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
In the first place, the San Francis.
co paper explains, the cost of telling
any one of the % big trees on the
500-acre tract would be excessive. 1t
would take five men % days to bore
enough holes through any tree 80 feet
in diameter. After being felled the
trunk would have to be cut into 40
loot lengths to be serviceable. A
block of wood, say 33 feet in diam
eter by 40 feet in length, would
weigh about 600 tons, and no ma
chinery has yet been built cal able of
handling it. No saw could work on
such a section, if it were possible to
get it to mill, and to split it with
dynamite, as Mr.. Whiteside once sug-
gested, would shatter the log and
spoil the lumber. In other words, the
big trees are vastly too massive for
commercial use.
