who can ei ITO what extent those null
titudinous cigars have Influenced the des-
tiny of that now poor, ,decadent thing, the
Year 1902 That: they have had an
almost incalculablc influence on American
politics, municipal, State and national.
none can deny--yca, the cigar is the very
symbol of politics. In sooth, we may so
still farther and say 1t is the very symbol
of all modern diplomacy:
There arc some who say that every
man has his price Well, maybe SO. but
we are more altruistic--mofe charitable
in our faith III our fellow mortals. When
pessimism creeps in and suspicion of our
bre thren asserts itself, would 1t not be
kinder to say that almost every man has
his favorite brand of cigars
That could be construed to mean almost
anything; and atsthc same time 1t would
delicately hint at strange but undeniabie
truth-that millions Of men can be made
more plastic and complaisant by ten
| cent cigar than by all the bribery ana cor
| ruptiop in the world.
| And we are glad it is so-yes, glad that
the cigar is the open sesame to men 9
hearts, for, after all, it's foremost use is
as link in masculine friendships. Like
the gent, which arose from the mlsts OF
Aladdin's wonderful lamp, there arises
from the smoke of good cigar the three
essentials to true fellowship-faith, hope,
and charity.
And so-even at the risk of, ungallantly
excluding the ladies from our oenedlc-
tions-wc cannot but express one nope
for the New eaI-that it will witness the
consumption Of twice as many cigars as
went up in smoke In 1902.

rHE WINNIE DAVIS TABLET.

There is TO be no tablet to the mem
DRY of President Davis's daughter, Win
ME. erected in Grace Baptist Temple Of
Philadelphia.
t The ladies who sought permission
therefor. night before last withdrew their
request Without doubt they were con-
WINGED that ii they pressed the matter dis
agreeable controversy would ensue. So. for
the sake of peace they Withdrew their pro-
position-though the strange statement
ig made that the persons who were read
ing the riot act to the church, as It were
are not members Of the church! Resolu-
tons were passed by the congregation In
tended to close up this ugly incident as
neatly as possible.
This is Il case. We suppose, where an
irreconcilable and irreDressible minority
was allowed to have its own way. We
do not imagine that the majority OBJ
jected to the tablet. especially when it
was to be erected as q companion piece
TO President McKinlcy's, in token OF q
reunited country.
Why was this tablet Objectionable to
any man or woman in Philadelphia:
Why? Was it not because Winnie Davis
was a daughter of President Davis and
was known as the Daughter of the Con-
federacy," because she vas born in the
Confederate White House," We know
that the resolutions passed by the church
repudiate this idea, but if that was not
the controlling influence VIC should like
to know what it was.
In the name of a reunited country a
tablet was proposed in memory Of Miss
Davis; the money needed was subscrib-
cd; quasi consent was given by the
church or its pastor and tlcn-we hear
of OBJECTIONS" Why these objections?
We can conceive of no other reason for
them than that TO be founu in the rela-
tionship Of Miss Davis to President
Davis.

Trenton N. j., March 4.-Senator Geb-

bill in the senate to-day to repeal and
dissolve the charter and corporate exist

The bill has long preamble, in which
it is stated that the company was or

Railway company and the Great Northern
Railway company to violate the laws OF
several states and interfere with their
revenues and also to destroy the compe-
tition in passenger and freight rates that
existed between these railroads.
The preamble says that the organiza-
tion has aroused great public indignation
and that the governor of Minnesota has
already Instituted suit to prevent the
consummation of the illegal and injurious
purposes sought to be accomplished by

Ass'NS TO BE DROPPED
For the President Says He'll En-
force Present Laws Strictly
TO TRY THEM BEFORE AMENDING

Chicago, March 4.-President Roose-
welt has given the railroad arrangements
of the entire country to understand that
the interstate commerce and the Sherman
laws will be enforced to the letter, says
the Record Herald.
The information has been conveyed
through the medium of the interstate
commerce commission, and it is under,
stood that the administration will not
favor any amendment to the law until the
present laws have been enforced and the
result noted.
The Record Herald asserts that the new
order Of things has caused CONSERVATION
among the executive officials of roads CEN
tering in Chicago, and all are engaged in
the work of cleaning house. Hurried
consultations have resulted in the deci-
sion that all associations and organiza-
lions which are in violation of the laws
involved must be done away with and
every effort made to show the commits
sion that the roads purpose handling
traffic free of all pools, agreements or cut
rates.
The first move in this direction is the
dissolution of the Council Bluffs. Omaha
and Sioux City committee, of which
George W.. Ristine is in charge. 1t is un-
| derstood that the Kansas City committee
| will soon be dissolved. Unless the COM
mission insists upon it nothing will be
done with the western trunk line COM
mittee at present, nor with the various
passenger associations which are In vio-
lat1on of the Sherman law:
Similar action will be taken by the lines
east of Chicago, and bureaus in the charge
of Chairman Tucker will probably be
abolished. Railroad officials are not a
unit regarding the character of action
| necessary, but large number Of them
\ believe that all organizations should be
done away with. Attention is called tc
the fact that If everything is to be
handled on tariff schedules, there will BIZ

Chicago, March AT just II O'Clock
Governor Van SAINT and staff, accompanied
by representative Gernlan-Americans Of
Minnesota, filed down to the hall on the
second floor of the Auditorium.
Very soon the prince emerged from his
apartments and advanced quickly. Coy
ernor Van SAINT stepped forward, greeted
the prince heartily and then, presenting
the handsome scroll invitation to- visit
Minnesota, said:
Permit me, on behalf Of the 150, 900 Germans
of Minnesota, to present you this welcome
and invitation as a mark OF our love for you
and for your illust rious brother; also to ex-
press the admiration of the 100000 people OF
our state for you and the German nation.
Prince Henry asked the governor to
convey his thanks to the German Amer
lean citizens Of Minnesota, and to all the
people of the state, for the testimonial
and expression of esteem. He was then
presented to the German-American repre-
ssentatives He did not shake hands. In
German ne asked them how long was the
trip to- Chicago, Colonel Kiefer replied.
The governor then remarked to the
prince that he should have visited Min
nesota because it is the greatest OF all
states. st.

l cannot reach it," He then shook hands
with the members Of the governors staff
and with the rres ident of the st. Paul
German society. The reception was over

company with Admiral Evans. In few
minutes the prince and his suite departed
to decorate the Lincoln monument. Al

the desire Of the merchant millers of the
northwest, and argued the case very ably
from their point OF! view. The department
admits that Mr. Crosby has made strong
showing, but falls back on the position
set forth above, that the existing laws
will mot permit such an arrangement as
he proposes.
One Chance for Millers.
This would seem to dispose of the case,
unless the millers ask Representative
TaWney, who, as the Minnesota member
of the ways and means committee, would
have charge of such matter, to intro
duce a bill granting their request. The
treasury department will not favor such
bill, and probably will oppose it strong
ly II requested to send it's officials to the
ways and means committee to, testify
while the bill is being considered. Any
plan such as the millers propose, the
treasury department says, would open the
door to fraud, and involve the govern
ment in endless trouble and annoyance.
on both sides of the line, for it would be
impossible to determine whether the
millers had ground the exact wheat i'm
ported from Canada or had substituted a
cheaper grade for it. The present law
and regulations were made, say they, for
| the purpose of preventing just such an
arrangement as is now sought to be
made.
