SHIRAS MAY RETIRE.
Two Changes in the Supreme
Court Are Expected.

Washington, Aug. 13.-It is under
stood that President Roosevelt will
have two more appointments to posi-
tons on the bench of the supreme court
of the United States to make within
year. It is practically certain that JUS
tice Shiras of Pennsylvania will retire
in the fall of the present year. He
reached the age of 20 years last Janu-
airy, and has been considering the adj
visibility of retiring for some time
There will be no question of his success
sorship unless there is marked change
from present conditions. The position,
by geogra phica1 law. goes to Pennsyl-
vania, from which state Justice Shiras
Republicans of the state have Endorsed
Justice J. Hay Brown of the Pennsylva-
MIA supreme court for the appointment
There has been some talk of Attorney
General Knox as a possible successor
to Justice Shiras, but it is not believed
that he has any an bition in that direc-
ton.
Chief Justice Fuller will reach the re-
tirement age next February, and it is
generally understood that he will leave
the bench, having served in his present
position for fifteen years. The chief
justice is still hale and hearty, and will
not be influenced in his retirement
plans by the condition of his health.
which is now most excellent It is said.
however, that he is anxious to leave
the bench and devote his time to certain
studies and literary work of a legal
character, in which he is deeply in

BRIST0W SEEMS SAFE.
Report That Kansan Is to Be Re-
moved Probably UnfOunded.

Washington Aug 13.-Joseph L.
Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster
general, will leave today for the Maine
woods, where he and his two boys will
spend d month hunting and fishing. The
fact that Mr. Bristow is going on pro-
lOnged vacation shows that he is not
very much worried over the report that
he is TIC be removed at the end of the
present nonts, in response to the fight
that has been made upon him by the
West Virginia senators. If there is
any basis for the report that I am to
leave the department do not know OF
it, SAID Mr.. Bristow today. Similar
reports were made when Mr. Roosevelt
became president, but they were with
out foundation, and they are without
foundation now so far as know, and
believe that if We're to lose my official
head within month I would have re-
celved some intimation of it before this
time"

sorts of political attacks since he came
to Washington to be Mr.. McKinley's
fourth assistant postmaster general.
number have sought his removal on ac-
count of his refusal to make appoint
mems to their liking, and charges OF
all KINDS except inefficiency have been
made asainst him.
When Senator Burton was elected to
his present position he hurried to Wash
ington, so the story goes, to secure the
removal of Mr. Bfistow. President Nc

mission and greeted him most cordially.
When Senator Burton stated that he
came to Washington to talk over Kan
sas political matters President McKin-
ley is quoted as having said: "I am
glad of it, senator. We need good men
in Washington. l can find places for
a number of them. If you have any
more men in Kansas like Mr.. Bristow
wish you would furnish their names
and can assure you that they will be

That ended Senator Burton's efforts
to have Mr.. Bristow removed, and other
politicians who have essayed the task
have been equally unsuccessful.

of us than she ever did before, our
home interests would have been benefit
ed and the Cubans would have been
saved from economic ruin. 1t is fair
to infer from this what actually took
place under the reciprocity treaty we
formerly enjoyed with Cuba. Our ex-
ports of flour increased, under that
treaty, from 114,4 AT barrels in 1891 to
662, PAS barrels in 1894 In the same
period the exports of corn rose from
367, 1924 bushels to 1,136,6 57; of potatoes
from $16S,354 to $496,S75. Many other
articles and commodities showed large
increases.
In the August Review of Reviews Mr.
Albert, G. Robinson, recognized au'
thority, says that a well-developed Cuba
might easily be purchaser of $500, 0O0,-
900 worth of food and manufactured
products. She might become our fourth
or perhaps our third customer.
There is certainly nothing in the Platt
amendment to keep the Cubans from
putting up the maximum tariff on us
and there is nothing in that amend
ment which can be drawn against them
in retaliation. The Cubans begged us
hard to help them, though they offered
to give us value received in the way of
increased trade, for every cent we took
off our tariff in their favor.
We fairly kicked them out of Wash
ington and our insurgents sang the
praise of beet sugar and dwelt on all
we have done for Cuba, utterly ignoring
the vital point of what we ought to do
for Cuba.
Now the Cubans hand US such duties
as $50 per cent on common soap, 100 per
cent on bacon, lard, wheat. flour, beans,
potatoes (the beet sugar industry isn't
to be compared to the potato Industry,
onions, Goldfish: 40 per cent on lumber,
60 per cent on hats.
We deserve it. Our insurgents also
deserve the fine castigatiOn and severe
reprimands they are almost universally
receiving.
