HILL A CANDIDATE.

III, as the press reports indicate. the
appearance of ex-Gov. Hill at Oyster
Bay, New York, is really a signal of his
appearance as presidential candidate,
the event ought to be welcomed by all
Democrats. Gov. Hill has always oc-
cupied high place in the party coun-
CHS. He has shown the wide extent
OF his popularity and political strength
IN his own state even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances. He
has been greatly honored by that state.
and has served, through the votes of
MS fellow citizens, as governor and
United States senator. While he has
met with defeat he has always as
sumed all the responsibility for his
defeat and accepted all it's conse-
quences.
Gov. Hill may be said to be thus the
second candidate that is announced
for the Democratic presidential nom
nation. There is ample reason to be-
lieve that if he should be the nominee
of his party he would be able to secure
the electoral vote of his own state for
the Democratic presidential electors
There are other able men and sound
Democrats in the state of New York
whom the Democrats of the country
would like to see nominated as Demo-
cratic candidates, as we'll as Gov. Hill.
The welfare of the party demands at
this time that the candidates for nom
nation shall be as many and as widely
separated sectionally as possible.
Inc appearance Of Mayor Johnson
and the probable appearance of Gov.
Hill will, T e G O b sincerely hopes.
operate to induce other men of dis
tinction and influence in Democratic
councils to allow their friends to place
their names before the forthcoming
Democratic national convention. Every
sentiment and division of the party
ought to be represented, and the diff
ferences that have existed in the past
ought to be fought out to a conclusion
IN the Forthcoming convention. Democ-
A"SJ NdHlS 70 Win. IL can win if 1t
dominates it's strongest candidate and
Democrats of all lines of thought unite
honestly and enthusiastically in the
support of such a candidate.
Gov. Hill in the past has made him
self unacceptable to large and in
huential element in the party. Mayor
Johnson may be said to occupy the
same position, and it is probably true
that no Democrat, however distinguish
ed he may be, can have his name pre-
scented to the national convention with
out feeling the ardent hostility of a
large element of the party. Put the
past is past, and the party, if it is to
win or deserves to win, must look for
ward to the future. With the largest
possible number of available candi-
dates to select from there can be no
question that the nominee will be final
ly chosen who will prove acceptable to
all Democrats, and who will enter the
campaign with every reasonable pros
pect of success.

PLEA FOR MECHANIC
ARTS HIGH SCHOOL
Oliver Crosby Tells What He Wants
Done With $4,000.

TO the Editor of the Globe. rr.-c .Tt
1t seems necessary about once in five
years for the friends of the Mechanic
Arts high school to take hold and point
out the value of this institution and
it's relation to the industrial part, of
our city.
In 1896 the school board decided to
practically abandon this school as a
feature in our educational system. At
that time the board voted to remove
the machinery and apparatus from the
Mechanic Arts building to the base
ment of the Central high school, nc
doubt believing that the school had
not, up to that time, proved a success
and was too expensive a luxury to
maintain. 1t was not uncommon for
the Mechanic Arts idea to be classed
as fad" and a luxury which could
easily be dispensed with.
After number of meetings held by
the friends Of the school, a hearing
was granted by the school board at
the assembly room of the Central high
school building. The situation was
freely discussed,a nd it became so ap-
parent to the school board that the Me-
chanc Arts school had a host of friends
and could not be put down that they
reconsidered their vote for practically
abandoning the school, allowing it to
remain in it's present quarters. From
1896 to this date the school has been
steadily on the increase, as the follow
ing figures show:

RATHBoNE AS AN ISSUE.

Inc possibilities of American poIi-
tics have never presented tbemselve.
in more striking light than they CO
through the spectacle of a pardoned
convict assuming the attitude of die
tating national policies. That condition
IS realized through the man Rathbone,
who had not been long enough out of
Cuban Jail to become used to his lib
erty before he made the announcement
of his intention to make himself a ma
tional political issue.
Thanks to Senator Hanna, Mr.. Ratb-
bones ambition is in fair way to be
realized. Democrats throughout tho
country have very little exception to
take to its realization. Rathbone az
a political issue is all right. It is to
be hoped that Senator Hanna will con-
tlnue to use his powerful influence in
keeping the Rathbone issue to the
front.
The country cannot receive too much
information just at this time regard

Cuban affairs by the Republican poIiti-
clans during the past few years
Enough has been seen of the expendi
lures ordered by Gen. Wood to satisfy
the disinterested public that Rathbone
was not the only official with lavish
and perhaps dishonest hand. If, as he
intimates, Gen. Wood is bigger rascal
and more extravaganza one than he.
the country is certainly entitled to be
advised of that fact, but it will proba
bly, not lose sight of the fact that
however that question may be deter
mined, Rathbone's career in Cuba
leaves no doubt whatever that corrup-
ton and extravaganza were a distinct
i've feature of the administration of af.
fairs in Havana.

MITcHELL's GOOD ADVICE.

The participation of the bituminous
coal miners in the strike at >nrasar+
prevailing would have produced a seri-
Gus public crisis. 1t has been avoided
mainly, if not entirely, through the eff
forts of President Mitchell of the Unit
ed Mine Workers organization. and
mat gentleman is entitled to great
credit for the good sense and conserv-
atlsm which he has shown in the adj
wee given by him to the delegates at
the convention now in session at In
dianapolis
1t is not in that one respect alone
that President Mitchell has established
MS claim upon the public thanks and
consideration. His speech addressed
10 that convention was the expression
of an able and conscientious man The
sentiments which it embodies are those
which workingmen everywhere should
take deeply to heart. In all respects
at least the advice embodied in thst
speech required rare courage as we'll
as good sense on the part of the man
offering it.
HIS declaration that under all cir
cumstances laboring men should keen
their contracts with their emnIovers
While on its face a very commonplace
piece of advice, is one which. under
the circumstances, ought to be ac-
cepted, not by mine workers alone. but
by all workers. It's violation in cases
OF strikes has in every instance re-
suited in the defeat of the men. AS
long as the possibility exists of or
CARNATIONS of workingmen deliberate
Iy violating contracts they enter into
with their employers there can exist
no assurance that any arrangeman+
entered INTO with them will be full
niied, and therefore the progress of
the great principle of Industrial adj
Justment' of making periodical agree
ments between employer and empIoye.
is brought to an end.
The other particular in which Presi-
dent Mitchell showed his wisdom and
his courage was in his declaration that
no sympathetic strike ever ordered has
resulted otherwise than disastrously.
President MitchelTs language in this
respect deserves reproduction. It is
as follows:
sympathetic strikes have MANY adher-
ems, ana the efficacy of such methods
appear strongly to the men. AS far as
= my knowledge goes, do not know of one
soltary sympathetic strike of any magni
tude which has been successful: on tba
contrary, the most conspicuous among

ATTACr< ON METHODIST
MISSIONARIES BY JAPANESE
Bishop Moore and Three Companions
Are Nearly Killed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 18.-An
account has reached here of the details
of an assault committed on some Meth
odist missionaries in Korea by Japan
csc coolies about the 18th of last
month.
AS Bishop Moore, of the NJ E.
church, was en- route to the town of
Soowon to dedicate church his party
was attacked by Japanese coolies, who
were building the railroad from Seoul
to Fusan. With the bishop were his
young daughter and Messrs, Appenzel-
Ter and Swearer, and all of the party
suffered. The bishops pith helmet
saved his skull from a crushing blow.
Appenzeller was struck down by a
blow from club, and Swearer, the
other missionary, was struck with a
piece of cordwood, which gashed his
head across the forehead to the bone
and may have permanently injured one
eye.
The Japanese minister at Seoul i'm
mediately put in motion all the ma
chinery at his command to secure the
capture and punishment of the assail-
ants. 1t does not appear that any ra-
cial feeling caused the attack.

CUBAN SOCIETY OF
PLANTERS TO BE REoReANIzED
Havana Paper Says It's Opportunities
for Good are Great.


HAVANA, July 18.-The Society of
Planters will shortly elect a new ex-
ecutive committee. Persons having in
formation on the subject say the So
c1ety has lately been allowed to run
down, number of insolvent planters
having had voice in the management
OF It's offices, and it is now proposed
TO give the society more standing.
La Lucia says the planters, if we'll
organized, would be a strong lever to
assist In the development of the ma
tional wealth and would act as q
counterpoise to the parasite classes.
The Discussion welcomes the move
ment. 1t says the Society of Planters
should be consulting committee for
the government in the making of
treaties, and it recommends that PLAN
tiers In good standing, not those who
are bankers and planters in name only,
be elected to the committee.
President Palma has decided To send
70 congress message recommending
the removal of the duty on cheese
cloth, quantities of which are now be-
Ing used in covering tobacco plants to
protect them from insects. The mes
sage will recommend also that silver
coins issued during the reign of Queen
Isabella II. of Spain, prior to 1868,
shall cease to be legal tender Aug. 81.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July ia
dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., saws that
! owing to the action of Senator Dietrich
IN opposing reciprocity with Cuba dur
ing The last session, the Republican
state central committee has declined
ms oller TO take the stump during the
fall campaign.
Senator Dietrich's turning down"
mas come as a severe blow to the beet

comment here. Mr.. Dietrich, if put on
the stump, purposed to defend the Gu
pan lnsurgent position and this the
state committee did not want, mas
much as the Republican party Of Ne
braska stands by the policy Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in favor of reciprocity.
In Michigan, also, the insurgents
nave had trouble. Representative Shell

from that state to be turned down for
denomination this year. The others are

I1ehry H. Apl1n. All were strong in

pathetic strike is one greatly promo

The country awaits with anxiety the
conclusion of the prevailing trouble in
the anthracite coal region. Probably
at no other season could as little dam
age to the public result as at that chos-

prolongation of the strike, however,
1t may affect either of the parties to
1t, is certain to result in heavy bur-
den upon the industries of the entire
country and the gravest loss to all
classes of American citizens. AS long
as the miners have as careful and as
able man as President Mitchell to
guide them it appears plain at least
that the worst possibilities of such a
situation as now prevails in the hard
coal mining industry will be saved to
the country.

DEARTH FINDS FAULT
WITH PHILA. MUTUAL
Company Is Sound Financially. but
Does Not Comply With Its
Bylaws.

State Insurance Commissioner Ell
mer Dearth has prepared a report
upon the condition of the philadelphia
Mutual Aid association, based upon an
examination covering the period from
Dec. 81, 1900, to June II, 1902.
The report is to the effect that while
the company is sound financially, and
all just claims have been paid it was
found that six of the nine directors
were serving in that capacity illegally
from the fact that they were not
policyholders or stockholders in the
company. 1t is also noted that the last
four annual meetings were illegally
held, for the reason that they did
not take place on the dates fixed by
the bylaws ~
The custom whereby all proxies
were made In the name of F. D. Kend-
rick, president and treasurer, is also
criticised .

Meanwhile, our Central high school
mas been stationary as to the increase
OF patronage of pupils. The lesson
taught here seems evident, showing
that the rising generation believe in
and appreciate the education of the
hand and brain at the same time The
predictions made in 1896, that this
school would become the most popular
school in our city, have certainly come
true.
At the present time the quarters for
the Mechanic Arts high school are full.
with no provision made for taking care
of the large class that will knock for
admission this coming fall. With these
facts in sight, the school board have
voted to expend $4,000 in the develop
ment of the Mechanic Arts, not at its
natural home at the Mechanic Arts
school, but to furnish new teachers and
new apparatus to be used in the base
ment of the Central high school build
ing. This amount of money can pur-
chase but small equipment required
for manual training, and the results
which will be derived from this ex-
pense cannot be great, on account of
the small quantity of machinery and
apparatus that can be purchased and
installed for $4,000. Our Mechanic Arts
high school has all of the necessary
apparatus and a large corps of trained
tSdCucIS III lIlS line OF Work. 1t is
only necessary that more room be Sc
cured for them.
The amount of available money for
school purposes is certainly Inadequate
for the needs of our schools, and it is
absolutely necessary that economy be
practiced in every way and that full
value should be received for the money
We have to spend. The $4,000 which is
promised to use in establishing new
courses in the Central high school is
sufficient to provide for the immedi-
ate wants of the Mechanic Arts school
and it seems strange that the school
board should appropriate $4,000 to es-
tablish new branches at the Central
and make no provision for the pupils
which are sure to apply for admission
at the Mechanic Arts this fall
Some time ago it was suggested in
creasing the size of the Madison school
building, which adjoins the Mechanic
Arts building, in order to provide more
room. This plan was found objection
able, but I know of no steps having
been taken to secure adjoining proper
ty. | have consulted with the owners
of the property in the vicinity Of the
Mechanic Arts school and find there
will be no trouble whatever in renting
several lots at a yearly rental of
per cent of their valuation. I estimate
the ground rent for sufficient room will
amount to less than 5000 per year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July ia
report treating in an interesting way
OF the commercial situation in South
Africa was made public at the state
department today. 1t is from United
States Consul General Bigham. at Cape
Town, and is dated May %. He says
that all enterprises will be started
anew, farms repaired and restocked
and machinery bought, and that it will
not be possible to get goods into the
interior fast enough to meet the de-
mand that will arise.
All nations, Mr.. Bigham says, are
awaiting this coming trade and are
preparing for it by establishing direct
lines Of ocean transportation, except
the United States, which, barring an
occasional freight steamer, has no di-
rect communication with Cape Colony.
The United States, he continues, ships
to. South Africa more than twice as
much goods as any other country ex-
cept Great Britain.

great war debt to pay" says Mr.. Big
ham, they very naturally think that
the trade of South Africa belongs to
them and will leave nothing undone to
retain it. We can't always depend sole
~ on the superior quality of our goods.
Greater effort on our part is necessary.

French fishing vessels have been lost
on the south coast of the island, en-
dangering the lives Of the ffty-four
members of their crews. The first was
the schooner Claire, from the Grand
Banks, which was disabled in a gale
having her masts and rudder carried
away. While making for st. Pierre she
became Water-logged and her crew,
numbering eighteen, was taken off by
the Newfoundland schooner Maritime.
The other wrecked vessel was the.
French bark Francis Joseph, from st.
Pierre, which went ashore on Cape
Pine In thick fog and sank twenty
minutes after striking. Most of the
crew were compelled to make their
escape nearly naked. The disaster
occurred about midnight.

OUT FIRE TO BE TRIED
Oil Blaze In Louisiana Continues With
Great Fury

Great Fury.
JENNINGS, La, July 1S-LittIe prog
ress has been made toward extinguishing
the fire at the Jennings well, and it con-
tinues to burn with all the fury that Ii
did on last Tuesday night shortly after
becoming ignited.
A new plan for quenching the flames
will soon be tried, however. Two derricks
are being erected on either side of the
fire. and will be connected with a large
cable. A huge cone is now being made
and will be connected to this cable and
slid along until directly over the fire. BY
means Of a trip wire the cone will be
dropped over the fire, falling from suffi-
cient height to bury itself in the ground
and overcome the gas pressure of the
well. By means of pipes that extend from
this cone it is hoped to control the pres
sure by permitting 1T to escape from
these vents. The boilers will then be
connected and a stream OF water and
steam will be turned on which will flood
the enclosure and the oil and water will
run out of the drain bitches that have
been prepared. Chemicals then will be
turned on the flames, and it is expected
will finally conquer them.
