A Paris cable to the New York
World says: A leading jeweler OF
Paris tells the following story about
j. Pierpont Morgan:
"Mr. Morgan had seen two magnifi-
cent diamonds in the jewelers. shop
and wanted to present them to the
New York Museum of Natural His
tory for it's collection of precious
stones. but thought the price ($S,0OO)
extortionate.
A few days later, being then in
London, Mr.. Morgan wrote to the
jeweler to send the diamonds to him
for a second examination, which was
done. Within a week the jeweler re-
ceived another letter from Mr.. Nor
gan, accompanying a small box heav-
lily sealed. The letter read:
1.-THE stones are really perfect. l
would like to buy them, but think
your price abnormal. That's why ]
send them back. If you can let me
have them for $4,000, telegraph, at the
same time returning, duly reinsured,
without troubling about breaking the
seals, in order to savetime."
The jeweler decided not to reduce
the price, and opened the box. The
diamonds were not there, but instead
he found Mr.. Morgan's check for So, 900,
with this brief note:
IN take them, anyhow; send re-
ceipt."

TO LEGALIZE GAMBLING.

1t is curious state of affairs that
practically a whole village should be
in favor of permitting one gambling
house to be run within its limits. That
is the case at Saratoga. There is a
gambling house there, but no resident
of the village is permitted to enter it.
All of its patrons are visitors to the
village. Several attempts have been
made by other gamblers to close this
gambling place-it is known as Can
field's-not because they are opposed
to gambling, but because they don't
want any one to have a monopoly.
A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature OF New York-a bill that
will be passed. 1t is said--to practical
ly legalize Canfeld's place. 1t pro-
vides that no warrant shall be served
on Garfield for gambling unless sign
ed by one of the police justices or JUS
tees of the peace Of the village. As
all of these officials are in favor of
Garfield keeping his place open there
is no probability that he will be dis
turbed.
The people of Saratoga live on the
visitors to that place. They know
that gambling is one of the attractions.
Hence they are not only willing that
there shall be gambling, but that it
shall be practically licensed. For the
sake of profit they consent that a place
shall be run in their town which is
certain to prove the ruin of many
men. 1t is too often the case that the
morals as well as the politics of a
community are controlled by its
pockets

The Washington Post Oem) says:
THE late Gen. U. S. Grant, in his me-

tween states. And like Admiral Dewey,
he was a fairly good authority on

The Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd.) says:
while the Senate is censuring Tnlman

hc1ent purpose goaded Tillman into re-
viving the South Carolina squabble."
The New York Commercial Qnd)
says; 1--WE should be vastly worse off
population. They are not all princes or
paragons. But as mass, they add
very materially to the prosperity, the
wealth and the good name of the
United States. So long as the Father
land can't hold all it's good Germans
at home, it is our good fortune that
the land of the free and the home of
the brave is the Mecca to which they
turn their faces-and their feet"
The Philadelphia Record Dem)
says: cat last Senator Frye has got
his new vamped ship subsidy bill on
the calendar as unfinished business. He
is in a position to push his nursing;
but late events have armed the oppo-
sition with new arguments. The
enormous Investments of capital in
building new vessels at home and buy
ing fleets abroad show that there is
no necessity for cosxing our mer-
chants into the field of maritime ad-
venture. What is needed is TO give
them the opportunity to fly the flag
and try their luck with all competitors
on an even keel"

GoRMAN A CANDIDATE.

There hasn't been much doubt since
the Democrats secured control of Mary
land that it is the purpose of Mr.. Cor
/ man to be a candidate for the presiden-
| tial nomination of his party in 1904. A
recent Baltimore dispatch in a Phila-
delphia paper contains the statement
that Mr.. Germans friends think the
contest for the nomination is between
him and ex-senator Hill of New York,
No doubt this is the view entertained
by Mr.. German. In the matter of the
nomination Mr.. Germans friends take
their impressions from him.
Mr.. German, it seems, expects to get
the support of the greater part of the
South. There is no good reason why
he shouldn't He has always looked
out for the interests of the South when
ever the opportunity to do so has pre-
scented itself. He is right in thinking
that the South would look with favor
upon his candidacy.
OF course Mr.. German would stand
no chance of getting the nomination if
Maryland should drop back into the
Republican column between now and
the meeting of the nominating conven-
ton. 1t is evident from what the Re-
publicans of the state are doing that
they are preparing to make a hard
fight next year to regain political su-
premacy. A Governor, state house
officers and United States senator are
to be elected. These prizes will call out
the full strength of the parties.
1t was mainly through Mr.. Germans
management that the Democrats OBJ
tanned control of the state. He directed
the campaign which resulted in VIC
tory for them. AS a political campaign
manager he has few equals.
Neither Mr.. German nor Mr.. HILL
however, will be the nominee unless the
wing Of the party to which they belong
is strong enough to make the platform
1t is evident that there is going to be
a struggle over the platform. One
wing of the party wants free silver
and some other things left out of the
party's next declaration of principles,
and the other wing is insisting that
everything that is in the Kansas City
platform shall appear in the platform
of 1904.
The South will hold the balance of
power in the National convention. The
West will be opposed to the East. 1t
becomes important, therefore, to know
whether the South will stand with the
West or the East, and whether she will
be united or divided.
We have called attention to the Nc
Allister resolutions introduced into the
Mississippi Legislature a few weeks
ago favoring an alliance between the
South and the East. AS far as we have
seen there has as yet been no express
sion in regard to them. 1t may be that
the party leaders in Mississippi have
thought it advisable not to press the
resolutions TO a vote at this time. They
might provoke a discussion that would
be of no benefit to the party. 1t can
be said with a considerable degree of
certainty that such resolutions would
stand a much better chance of favor
able reception now than they would
have stood if they had been proposed
prior to the meeting of the last ma
tional convention of the Democratic
party.

The Central Federation of Labor in
New York has before it a knotty prob
lem, namely: us cake bread, or is
bread cake. or Is bread bread and
cake cake?" The query comes up on a
conflict between the bread bakers
union and the cake bakers union.
Each claims that the other has been
invading it's premises and Infringing
upon its rights. The cake bakers claim
that anybody can make bread. and
the bread bakers claim that anybody
with brains enough to stir dough can
make cake. After hearing some of the
arguments an auditor reached the
conclusion from the evidence that cake
was bread. that pie was cake, and that
pie had no existence whatever. 1t
came out at the hearing that there
were 215 known kinds Of cake and Is
known kinds Of bread,

Congressman Joseph C. Sibley of
Pennsylvania is being spoken of as
the harmony" candidate of the Re-
publican party of his state for Gov
ernor. The term is probably used ad-
visedly. AS a "harmonizer' Mr.. Sib-
ley has heretofore shown that he pos
sesses remarkable versatility. He has
been able to harmonic" himself
with about every political party that
has ever appeared in Pennsylvania
since he reached his majority-Green-
back, Prohibition, Populist, Demo-
cratic and Repubhcan--and always
with success in keeping himself in
office. Another thing in his favor.
which cuts a very large figure in
Pennsylvania politics, is that he is
worth big barrel of money and does
not hesitate to tap the barrel for the
boys in campaign times He is be-
lieved to be in close touch with the
Standard OIL Company and to be an
enthusiastic "harmonizer" in its in
terest.

1t became known recently that there
was a vacant chaplaincy in the navy,
to be filled by Secretary Long. Imme-

in, and before the Secretary had made
up his mind, day or two ago, whom
to appoint, there were 400 endorsed APP
plicati6ns on file. The pay of a chap
lain in the navy is not very large, yet
it seems there are a great many young
ministers who are anxious to secure
the berth.
