THE OYSTER BAY CONFERENCE.

Very little is positively known in re-
gard to what transpired at the confer
ence at Oyster Bay between the presi-
dent and leading republican senator's,
but there appears to be no doubt that
one of the things decided was that there
will he no revision OF the tariff at the
next session of congress. 1t is stated
that two of the senators, Mr.. Allison
and Mr.. Spooner, favored revision, on
the ground that 1t is imperatively de-
manded by the west, but it is doubtless
safe to assume that the statement is
erroneous. Those senators know that a
general revision of the tariff, if done
with proper care, would be well-nigh
impossible at the short session of con-
gress and it is hardly conceivable that
they would recommend undertaking so
large and important a task at that SEES
sion. The Fifty-fifth congress spent over
four months on the Dingley tariff, for
the enactment of which it was called in
special session. To properly revise that
act in a session of less than three
months, with all the other business re-
qulring the attention of congress, is
obviously out of the question.
1t is stated that the president is to
maintain his position as to the trusts
and also to insist on his demand for
Cuban reciprocity. The presidents at
titude in regard to the great Industrial
combinations is so generally approved
by intelligent and conservative public
opinion that there is the most conclusive
reason why he should maintain 1t. II
Is a sound and defensible position,
which has in view the correction of
evils and abuses without injuring those
who are innocent or jeopardizing the
security of u entire industrial system
The presidents plan is remedial, as
opposed to the revolutionary policy OF
the democratic party. The latter pro
poses, as forcibly expressed by Speaker
Henderson, Ito kill the child in order tC
cure it," President Roosevelt and tn,
republican party would preserve the in
d~ustries of the country while remedyinl
those evils that are incident to grea.
combinations.
1t is not to be doubted that the presi
dent will insist upon reciprocity Will
Cuba. He has clearly indicated hi
purpose TO do so in some OF his recen
public speeches. Mr.. Roosevelt mos
earnestly believes that IT is the duty o
the United States TO make some tarif
concession to Cuba, In order TO prOmot
the material welfare OF that country
and he also believes that it would be o
benefit to this country to help Cubs

Why II RAILROADS WANT MERCER.
Why are the allied railroad corpora
tions making such a desperate effort to
force Mercer upon the people of this
district for a sixth term? That question
can be readily answered. Mercer has
always been a ready and willing tool
of the corporations and can be depended
upon to do their bidding. AS chair
man of the committee on public build
ings, he is in position to make trades
with members of the other committees
for bills in which the corporations are
interested and render them invaluable
assistance. In this work Mercer is
worth his weight in gold. One example
will suffice:
When the Union Pacific railroad was
chartered it vas given a land grant
subsidy of every other section of land
within twenty miles of the main line
and a bond subsidy ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile. The Burlington &
Missouri River road received only a land
grant subsidy. When that road en-
tered upon he selection of its land it
found the Union Pacific road within it's
territory south of the Platte, 80 it
crossed over into the North Platte coun-
try and selected a large part of it's land
grant in counties north of the Union
Pacific. In making this selection it
overreached its grant by about 100000
acres. This land was disposed of to
| SaftIaro Wbo paaafuad from tho RrrIinO-
ton warranty deeds for the land they
bought. The fraud was discovered by
Land Commissioner Sparks, under the
Cleveland administration, and, being an
honest man. Sparks refused to issue the
patents for the Burlington lands that
were In excess Of their legitimate land
grant. Two years & a bill was in
troduced in congress for the relief of the
settlers ON the lands ~fraudulently OBJ
tanned by the Burlington. This relief
bill was struggled through congress by
the help of Mercer, under the preteXt
that it was gotten up for the benefit of
the farmers, when, as a matter Of fact,
II was for the benefit of the Burlington
company, which was bound to make
good its warranty deeds. At the very
lowest estimate, these lands were worth
so an acre, and Mr.. Mercer thus saved
at least 100000 to the Burlington at
one clip. But what benefit was this to
the farmers of Nebraska? What bene-
fit was it to his constituents in this
district?
The affinity of other railroads to Mer-
Ger can also readily be explained. Each
of these corporations has used Mercer
for some scheme that brought hun.
dreds Of thousands of dollars into its
Golfers, n there are, doubtless, otheI
schemes on the stocks in which they
want TO use MERGERS influence for theiI

He will therefore continue to urge
Cuban reciprocity and 1t is understood
will have a treaty ready for submission
to congress when II assemblies. There
are predictions that such a treaty will
be ratified, but as to this no one can
now speak with certainty. Notwith-
standing the fact that most of the state
republican conventions have declared in
favor of Cuban reciprocity, there is still
a strong republican opposition to it and
it is at least doubtful If a treaty could
be ratified.
The conference at oyster Bay is to be
regarded as assurance of the presidents
earnest desire to maintain harmonious
relations between the administration and
congress.

The corn crop is late, and In the more
northern sections OF the belt II is still eX-
posed to danger of damage by frost, and
will be till near the end OF the month. but
there is every promise OF a harvest In ex-
cess Of any previously Known. This is an.
extraordinary outcome for a season OF ex-
ceptionally low temperatures and high
moisture, and all the more fortunate In
view Of the very low production of last
year and the consequent depletion Of the
country's sranaries.
The wheat yield has been three times
exceeded-in 1901. 1898 and 1891. but is
we'll above the Average. and will leave a
large surplus for expectation beyond sup
plying the domestic demand. The oat
crop is large, but Of poor quality, The
other cereal crops are as a rule above the
average. and potatoes and apples will be
abundant and cheap. The cost Of food,
aside from meat, will thus be lower for a
year to come than II has been, and so Il is
that the wind in some measure is tenn
pered to the lamb shorn by the coal and
beef trusts.
The corn and wheat comparisons in the
shove table are probably more favorable
for the present year than the facts war
rant. The years acreage is calculated by
the agricultural department on the basis
Of last years, and that wae arbitrarily
increased in order to make the depart
ment's estimates conform moro closely to
the census revelations. showing that the
department had been greatly Underestimate
ing the principal cereal crops. In other
words. this years and last years harvests
on a revised estimate are being compared
with previous estimates that are ad-
mittedly too low. But after making all
reasonable allowances on this account tha
fact would remain that the seasons yields
are a large average all around. and most

wATTERsoN ON THE SMART SET.

The term smart set" was adopted by a
bad society to save itself from a more
odious description. The distinguished
trait OF the smart set" is it's moral aban-
don. It makes a business Of defying and
overlapping conventional restraints upon It's
pleasures and a~musements.
The women OF the smart set" no longer
pretend to recognize virtue even as a
feminine accomplishment. Innocence is a
badge of delinquency, a sign OF the crude
and raw. a deformity, which, II tolerated
at all, must carry some promise of amend
ment: for among these titled cyprians the
only thing needful is to know 1t all.
In London and in Paris-at Monte Carlo

E1tent Of Morgan,. Power.

The editor of "Moody's Manual Of Cor
p~oration Securities" has been studying his
latest bulky volume Of facts for the pur-
pose Of tracing out the measures Of J. p.
Morgan's immediate, active power In the
financial world. He hnds that Mr.. Morgan's
influence is paramount in 55,555 miles OF
railroad. or over one-fourth Of the total
mileage OF the country; that this mileage
is capitalized at 5000. 949. 571; that he
dominates the United States steel corpora
tion with a capitalization OF 81. 1888, 1873. $50,
and three minor trusts, and that he lie now
to control a steamship combination OF a
capital at the start Of s17O, 900. 900. The
total capitalized power Of Morgan Is rep
resented by t4,737, $50. 527-this aside from
the influence which necessarily radiates out

tratiOn OF financial might. When Gladstone
