History Repeats Itself

Henry Elliott, who claimed New
Jarsey as mis- residence, came over
last Sunday with two companions
and brought with him a large "jag''
which he proceeded to exhibit in
various ways, among them racing
his horse. Officer Wood with his
usual energy in such matters sue
ceeded in inducing Elliott to accom-
pany him to the lookup, where he
spent the night, and next morning
paid $11 for the privilege, or at
least he put up his watch as evil
dence of his good faith. His part
ners in the show business managed
to elude the officer by doing some
beautiful sprinting.

Messrs. Hadlich and Gavey, while
fishing in the river near Bach q
Riverside Hetel recently, hooked
and landed a small mouthed bass
which weighed six pounds. The
fish was 81 inches long ana IA inches
in girth. There is in that vicinity
excellent bass grounds and no doubt
the specimen taken had plenty of
society of his size but it requires an
expert to induce such large fish to
be taken and it also necessitates
skill to land them when hooked.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Much interest is expressed in
Washington in the answer to the
charges of the anti-imperiaiists which
is being prepared by Col Clarence
Edwards, chief Of the insular bureau
of the war department Colonel Ed
wards states that he has, in the sworn
testimony taken before the Philip
pine committee of the senate, a re-
futation of every charge made by
the anti-imperialists and that his
plan will be to print the charges and
refutations in parallel columns. The
general and unsubstantiate charges
of the anti-imperialists will look very
Insignificant when placed side by
side with the specific, sworn state
ments of men who have made their
observations on the ground and it is
reasonable to assume that once Col.
Edwards book has been given gen
eral circulation there-will be little
more heard from the fanatical gen
tlemen who style themselves "the
defenders of humanity"

Now is the best time to cut weeds

this will greatly improve the looks
of many places. A little applied

to its general appearance too.

The determination Of Cuba to
negotiate a loan of S35, ,0OO,O 900 is
causing serious anxiety to the admin
istration. What can have operated
to create so unanimous a sentiment
in favor Of such loan is question
frequently asked and there are many
who believe that the same element
which defeated the presidents Cuban
reciprocity policy in congress is at
the bottom of Cuba's present inten-
tions. 1t is said, and not without
reason, that if these gentlemen can
pursuade Cuba to issue so large a
loan they will be able to buy these
bonds at a ruinOus discount and,
having secured a considerable hold
ing, they will be in a position to
practically dictate Cuban affairs,
against their dictation, they Will in
sist on payment of the bonds and
thus force annexation to the United
States, thus Rrofting to an incalcul-
able extent on their investment.

Representative Cannon Of Illinois
passed through Washington this
week on his way from his Illinois
home to a seaside resort. Speaking
Of the political situation, he said the
outlook in his part OF the country
was most hopeful. That the prosper
ity was unparalleled, and that the
people would have little time to
devote to the campaign, for every
body was to busy, but they appreciat-
ed from what source that prosperity
came and they would not fail to go
to the polls and and express their
satisfaction with present conditions
and their desire for their continuance
when election day came around.
Mr.. Cannon said he was in very good
health but that he felt the need Of
rest and expected to enjoy a few
weeks Of sea air before returning tc
take part in the iali campaign.

In connection with the proposed
loan a complicated question arises as
to the location Of the power which
may prohibit the negotiation of the
loan or which may pronounce such a
loan in violation of the Platt amend
ment. There is no clause in the
Platt amendment designating the
executive as the mentor of Cuban
finances and, as the constitution ex-
pressly provides that the executive
branch of the government shall ac-
quire no power not expressly delegat-
ed to it by the constitution or by
congress, it is difficult to see how the
power to interfere with Cuba can
rest with anyone but congress.
Nevertheless, the secretary of the
treasury states unequivocally that he
believes full power in the matter
rests with the president acting by
the advice of his cabinent. What
ever opinion may be held now, it is
clear that it will become the duty of
congress, as soon as that body con-
venes, to pass a bill which will clear
~ define the relations Of congress and
of the executive to Cuba and then to
investigate the conditions in Cuba
which necessitate and warrant, if it
be warranted, the negotiation of the
proposed loan. No one believes that
Cuba has any financial resources
which warrant the borrowing of so
vast sum. But a small portion of
Cuba's agricultural lands are produc-
tive at the present time and her tax
able area is severely restricted.
Where she can raise the funds with
which to pay per cent. interest on
S85, 900, 600 is not easily determined.

The storm last Sunday inflicted
considerable damage to railroads.
A washout derailed a train on the
Harlem road and eight persons were
injured. By the same cause an
engine on the D., L. & W. near
Morristown was upset and brake
man killed, and the road so crippled
that trains were greatly delayed. A
cemetery at Madison, N. j., was
washed out and many caskets un-
covered
Alfred Brink, a native of Monta
que, N. j., but for some years a res
ldent of Port Jervis, died at that

ters, Nelson of Sayre, Pa, Evi of

Senator Carmack who has red
hair, is considerably exercised over
the departure of the republican
party of today from the landmarks
set by its fonnders. 1t is astonish-
ing how much some of our demo-
cratic friends love the republican
party of years gone by.
Senator Vests remark to the ef-
feet that a financial panic would re-
turn the democrats to power has
been widely quoted. The statement
does not lack in probability, provid-
ing the panic is severe, widespread
and long continued enough. But it
would be just like democratic luck
to have the country go right on and
prosper,
Mr. Bryan now asserts that. he
did not mean that he could not be
induced to accept the democratic
nomination. He was not going to
insist upon having it, but if he saw
that a grateful democracy was get
ting ready to pursue drastic meas
ures to force the acceptance upon
Kim, why he would not create any
any trouble in the party through an
excess Of modesty.
The interviews secured from Mar
quis Ito, the eminent Japanese
statesmen, predicting that our in
dustries are running at such high
/ pressure that the present conditions
Of prosperity cannot last
forever, and fearful that financial
disaster will result, have been seized
upon with great avidity by demo-
cratic calamity howlers. This class
of statesmen has had short brows-
ing for the past several years.
