In speaking Of President Roosevelt
efforts in behalf of Cuba the Baltimore
Sun wants to know if it would not be
possible for him to arrange treaties oil
reciprocity between the American people
and some of the alleged combinations
which control important industries in this
land of the free and home of the brave
Could he not induce the beef magnates
and the coal magnates to make some
concessions to the helpless public? In
addition, some of our manufacturers sell
their products abroad at lower rates than
in the home market. Can't the Presi
dent induce them to enter into treaty
under which Americans will enjoy all the
advantages of the most favored nation
There are many kinds of reciprocity Of
which the American public is in sore
need. While the President is affordine
relief to the Cubans, let him bear i'll mind
that the folks at home would not object
to little reciprocity in their relations
with the Napoleons of Beef and Coal.

1t is asserted that President Roosevelt
has determined to take hand i'll the
Delaware Senatorial squabble, and since
. Addicks has been unable to buy his way
TO the Senate, will crush all opposition
and force him on the people whether or
no. The scheme is to throw the strength
of the Administration and the party in
general to the Addicks faction during the
coming campaign, and secure the cleo
ton of republican legislature which will
be favorable to the choice of Addicks.
The excuse offered by the Administration
for meddling in such petty political fights
is the fear that if the factional squabble
is continued the State will be carried by
the democrats.

With the exception of Secretary Shaw
of the Treasury, who is in the city occa-
sionally for a few days at time, every
member of the Cabinet is out of the city
This is i'll accordance with the expressed
wish of the President who claims that no
man can render the most efficient service
to himself or to the Government who does
real head work for more than eleven
months out of the twelve. But notwith-
standing the absence of so many of the
heads and even of the assistant heads of
departments, the work Of the Government
is proceeding with unusual smoothness
This fact is explained by the statement
that when the heads of departments are
out of the city every employee is permit
ted to perform his duties without inter.
ference, whereas, when the secretaries
and particularly the members of Congress
are in the city there is constant Interrupt
ton and annoyance by the demands for
special service and for remunerative posi-
tions for the friends of henchmen of men,
bers. Secretary Shaw is credited with a
very similar observation. He says that
ever since he came into office he has been

Satisfied with Situation.

Satisfied with Situation.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
fourteenth week of the anthracite min
ers' strike begins today. President
Mitchell is authority for the statement
that the strikers are in good shape.
Contributions to the relief fund are
coming in from many quarters now,
and the dissatisfaction which was first
evinced over the distribution has now
disappeared. and the strikers have set
tied down to what they believe is going
to be Il much longer siege than was at
first anticipated.
A twenty thousand dollar contribu-
ton from the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen is expected by the strikers
within the next ten days. 1t is said
forty lodges will contribute 500 each.
Other railway brotherhoods are ex-
pectrd to follow suit.
While the strike leaders are inclined
to throw cold water on all reports that
all attempt may lie made to resume
mining at an early day in the Wyo-
ming region. it would not be at all sur
prisng should one or two of the mines
in this section be started up this week.
