A. TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the careful and prudent housewife re-
plenishes her supply of .Chamberiain's
Cough Remedy. It is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become set
tied in. the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in CIV
ing it to children for it contains no
harmful substance. It is pleasant to
take-both adults and children like it.
Buy it and you will get the best. 1t
always cures. For sale by all drug
gists.

AS OF to emphasize the evil of the

eel this country to the effect that !
Plerpont Morgan in connection with
Inc Baring brothers of England, have
undertaken to float bonds to the
amount of $1o00o0,000 for the newly

Richardson of Tennessee says that the
democrats Of the house stand ready to
assist their opponents in any. genuine
effort to control the trusts and that
they will give the republicans no
ground to charge them with obstruct-
i've proceedings in case the latter make
an honest attempt to strengthen the

Missionaries in this country are on
an equal footing before the law with
the clergy Of the Catholic church. The
federal nor the state governments
make any distinction between them.
Around the members Of all commune
ions is thrown the protection of the
federal constitution Because some of
the more fanatical and uninfuential
people in Catorce warned the mission
aries to leave the town the impression
has gone abroad that the whole COM
munity was hostile to Protestant
missionaries. 1t is time that this ut
terly false impression was done away
with. The municipal government of
Catorce is composed of enlightened
and unprecedented men; they will up

Jy-DcES AND POLITICAL OFFICE

My kingdom for a Judge" is the cry Of the
New-York Democracy. In their search for an
eligible candidate for Governor the leaders of
the party trot out one juTist after another and
erdeavor to persuade him to run the race. This
expezient is not especially 10 be wondered at.
Almost every prominent politician in the party
either has 4 bad reputation with the people or
has been so identified with one or the other of
the factions that he could not hope to com

money men. Tammany and reform Democrats.

Judges to run for political office.

OUR CUBAN BALANCE OF TRADE.

Figures given by the Bureau of Insular Al
fairs concerning Cuban commerce are most sug-
gestive They show that during the time of
American occupation and administration OF that
island this country provided Cuba with consld-
erably less than half of It's purchases. The
exact proportion was IS per cent. European
countries provided IL per cent or almost as
much as the United States. That was our show
ing in Cuban markets when Cuba was "a tenn
porary dependency OF the United States. a few
years before. when Cuba was colony of Spain,
we sold her not only 43 but more than so per
cent Of all the goods she bought, and Europe
sold her not IL but scarcely 10 per cent. What
caused the difference? The answer is given IN
one word: Reciprocity. In that former time
we had reciprocity treaty with Cuba, or rather
with Spain; in these later years we have had
none. With reciprocity we supplied four -hfthS
of the Cuban demand; without il we supply lit
tie more than two-ffths; and the latter proper
ton is now so rapidly diminishing that 1t will
soon be less than one-tifth, unless something is
done to check our losses.
At the same time we have been buying much
of Cuba. While she bought only 43 per cent of
her imports from Us. she sold us 10 per cent of
her exports The disparity was not merely pro-
portiona: il actual. Her sales to the
United States were S37OoO,0O0 i'll excess of her
during our occupancy and control of Cuba
the balance of trade between and that island
was S37. 600. 900 against At the same time.
It NAV he observed. she sold To other countries
$40 900 900 less than she bought from them As
in the other case too. the process Is progressive
Our sales to Cuba diminishing The balance
of trade is becoming more and more against us.
If we could do no better in trade with the rest
of the world than with Cuba would better
go out of business.
There is no sense nor justice in blaming Cuba
for this state of affairs We cannot rail against
her for not buying more of us She wants 10
do so. She has begged to he permitted to do 50.
She has offered TO buy practically all her sup
plies from us But have refused her. We
have with astounding faulty, rejected her offer
Of q 20 per cent preferential tariff rate, which
would have given Us a practical monopoly of
her markets, and we have actually forced her to
increase by from 30 to 800 per cent, her tariff
rates against our goods. That is the present
status of our commercial relations with the
country which lies at our doors. which our
selves set up as Independent power and
which naturally ought to be forever CONNER
cfaI appanage TO the United States. If there is
more discreditabe piece OF folly recorded in all
our commercial annals than that which the
Sugar Trust Boxers imposed upon rs we have
yet to be Informed of It.

THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP,

4 lawn tennis season of remarkable interest
reached its elimination yesterday at Newport.
when in a contest that tried the skill and en-
d11rance of both competitors TO the utmost, the
plucky English challenger succumbed TO the
brilliant play of the veteran who now for the
second successive year holds the title of ma
tional champion. 1t was the unexpected that
happened, too. Close observers of the matches
which led I'D 10 the challenge round while con-
graduating themselves upon the fact that the
Davis cup had been saved to this country, had
practically resigned themselves to the loss of
the national championship in singles; for
Iarneds poor showing in his match with r. F.
Doherty at Bay Ridge had gone far TO confirm
the critics estimate OF him as an erratc, II
brilliant performer. while the Englishman' s
proved steadiness together with the fact that
he had picked I'D few American tricks in the
course of the season. served to deepen patriotic
apprehension.
Yesterdays result shows that such apprehen-
sion was not well founded. In the face of gen
hardship of losing his first set and played with
splendid nerve and dash until the close of a
contest which was doggedly fought almost to
the last point. winning by superior resourceful-
ness and staying powers
If Americans have cause for triumph Eng
land has reason to be proud of her representa-
tives They failed TO lift the cup they came
for. but they have shown the admirers of the
game some of the best tennis ever seen in this
country and the Dohertys especially have set a
COPY for team work which is not likely soon TO
be superseded.

4E0THER SPEED SLAUGHTER.

Two or three more lives were sacrificed to
speed madness on Tuesday near Elberon he-
ports differ concerning the tragedy. Some say
the automobile was running slowly. others
say il running at high rate OF speed II
may be impossible TO determine positively
which story is correct. The weight OF testl-
mony and of proba bilty is. however, decidedly
upon the side of the latter. The surviving mo-
torman is quoted as saying the machine was
running swiftly. 1t is indisputable that 1t was
machine especially designed and built Tor
high speed and that fact makes 1t a TAR as
sumption that its owner was in the habit OF
running it at such speed. man does not pay
a double or quadruple price for machine for
the sake of its speed if he does not intend to
speed it. Moreover. the circumstances of the
disaster indicate that it running very rapid
IL. We are told that the wheels caught in
the trolley tracks and caused the machine TO
swerve. That could not well have happened II
II had been running slowly.
But after all. IL does not so greatly matter
whether the machine was running fast or slow.
If the former we have merely to repeat the COM
ments made upon the Fair tragedy Of few
dayS ago in France. The victims were victims
to speed madness. On the other hand, II It was
running slowly. the lie direct is given to the
vehement protestations about the ease of guild
ing and stopping such engines. We have been
assured that they are far more easily Steered
than horse, and that they can be brought 10
a dead halt in a very short space, even when
running at full speed. The statement has OFTEN
been made that an automobile running at seven
teen miles an hour can he stopped within twice
its own length. while confident enthusiast
has written TO The Tribune that he has often
stopped his engine within thirty feet when run
ming at thirty miles an hour. Yet this machine
running uphill. could not be stopped in time 10
prevent an awful accident
Speed madness is al fault. Either machines
are run at too high rates OF speed, and so have
collisions or other accidents. else. II they are
run at moderate speed their steering and other
qualities have been so sacrificed to the demands
of speed that they are unmanageabie. The mis-
take is in constructing machines with a view
solely or chiefly TO making a rate OF speed
which is unlawful and unsafe on any public
highway The aim should be to make such as
will run al a lawful and safe rate of speed ana
will be at all times under perfect control for
steering or stopping. Until that is done we
may expect daily lengthening Of the list Of
such disasters as that OF Tuesday. disasters
due directly to the insensate mania for unlaw-
ful sneed
