New York May c2.-Today's stock mar

heavy in tone, also as a result of the ei-
feet of the coal strike, which is beginning
to be felt in that industry. This did not
prevent n jump OF 10 points in Lackd-
wanna and a late squirt in Delaware "

extended rise in Canadian Pacific and its
sharp reaction naturally had some sym
pathetic effect upon the rest of the mar

A Missouri Gerrymander.

Congressional Serrymanders have
been known, in the course of our politi-
cal history, in many states of the
Union. Both parties have been guilty
of them. But the most outrage
gerrymander on record, the greatest
Northumberland of white citizens
ever known in the history of congress
SiOnal redistricting has just been per-
petrated by the Missouri Democrats.
At the presidential election Of 1900
the Democratic vote OF Missouri was
25l, 922 and the Republican vote, 3l4092.
This immense Republican vote in
what is regarded as a rOck-ribbed old
stronghold of Bourbon Democracy
may surprise some of our readers. 1t
is difficult for us to realize that in
Missouri there are about four times as
many Republicans as there are in
Maine. In St. Louis alone there were
almost as many Republican votes cast
in 1900 as in our whole State. And
there was nothing abnormal about the
1900 vote in Missouri, for in 1896 there
We're 305.9 900 Republican votes cast.
III redistricting the state at least six
or seven Of the 16 districts would have
been Republican if any attention had
been paid to fairness and equity as re
CARDS geographical conditions and
population. 1t would have been the
rankest and most apparent kind of a
partisan gerrymander if only four Re
publican representatives had been
provided for. But the Missouri legisla-
ture has actually figured things out
with such care and formed districts of
such wonderful shapes and dimensions
that it prides itself on having created
10 districts which will probably send
Democrats to Congress and only one
which is surely Republican. into this
Republican district has been packed an
excess Of 200 in population over
the number required. There is no de-
gree of decency in the arrangement.
and the consent of the governed, +"
about which Missouri Democrats in
Congress are constantly talking. was
not for n moment considered. The
proper thing for the Missouri Republic
cans to do, since they have no other
redress. is to capture some of those
Democratic districts at the next cleo
ton. At the rate Of progress during
the past decade they will capture the
state before many years.

Keeping National Pledges.

The action of the United States in
keeping its pledge to Cuba stands out
in brighter light when we contrast it
with the broken promises with which
other great nations have strewn the
world. No wonder the powers of
Europe did not believe we could keep
our pledge to Cuba. They would not
have kept such pledge, and they
judged American national honor by their
own narrow and selfish standard. There
is England still in Egypt with no in
still in Tunis where il went for a tenn
! dorary occupation" over 90 years ago.
Madagascar is also held by France,
though it was occupied to redress Ger
/. tain grievances. There is Russia still
holding BatOum on the Black Sea.
: though it promised, 4 quarter Of a cen
fury ago, to surrender it and make il a
free port. Do you suppose England, or
France or Russia or Germany would
have freed from the tyrannical oppres-
sion OF another nation an island near
their shores and then have set it up as
a free and Independent nation? Never.
Americas conduct in this matter Will
never be forgotten by the world which is
forced to admire and respect it.
And as our pledge has been kept in
Cuba so viii it be kept in the Philip
pires. In the Philippines there is no
promise of withdrawal for withdrawal
has been, is now and is likely to be
forever out of the question. But there
is pledge to be fulfilled, the pledge of
peace and order and security and free
dom, the pledge of education and in
dustrial and commercial development.
the pledge of self government as far
and as fast as the islands are fitted for
il. The work in the Philippines is diff
ferent than it was in Cuba; the prob
lem is more complex and the task u
more difficult. Our government has
been harrassed in its work by n fire
from the rear. 1t has. however, ac-
complished wonders and the hardest
part of the work is done. Though all
the world doubted. our pledge to Cuba
was faithfully and fully kept. Though
petty pessimsts at home may sheer
and oppose, our pledges will likewise be
kept in the Philippines.

Bryan on Cuba's Future.

Bryan is very horeful as regards the
future of the Cuban republic. and in
an Interview sees not only permanency
but great things in store for it. The
Cubans. however. must not pin too
much faith to his prophecies. 1t has
been shown that predicting the future
of republics is not his strong suit.
When this republic. for instance, re-
iected Is to l, he saw only the rocks of
disaster before it, and a little later his
startled vision beheld the twin storm
clouds of imperialism and mlitarism
which were to overwhelm it. The rocks
proved to be of the stuff that dreams
are made of and the clouds rolled by.
His calamity predictions proved as
shallow and frothy as We're his cam
paign arguments. But here's hoping
he has better luck in the matter OF
Cuba's future. He is on the right
track in his predictions there. And
why doesn't Bryan go to Cuba and
grow up with the country! lie Sol
started in 1893 but became tangled and
tripped in red tape Now he has taker
part in a real presidential Inaugural tior
at last. though he had to leave the
United States to do it. and it may re-
new in his breast. if it needs renewing
the laudable ambition to be presiden'
himself. Since he can never realize
that ambition here, Cuba offers a field
that he should seriously consider. Cubs
loves soldiers and orators and is MOI
fussy on monetary ratios.
