SOMETHING'S DROPPED.

SOME THINGS DROPPED.

The Massachusetts republicans heart
lily endorse President Roosevelt in their
state platform. They we'll say that he
has addressed himself to the duties
of his high office with wisdom and
courage: that he has had no secrets

has spoken to them out of the abund-
ance of brave and honest heart; and
that he has addressed himself fearless
ly to the difficult problems which have
arisen. No more graphic description
of his characteristics could be given.
The republicans of the Bay state will.
support him for another term.

Georgia peach growers have been eX-
perimenting on shipments of fruit to
England with good results. The recent
increase of peach acreage IN the state
from 100000 to 100000 acres is like
ly to be met by as rapidly expanding
markets, as there is little doubt that
European markets will bid for Georgia
peaches next season.

A Vienna correspondent states, as
the official opinion in Austria and Rus
STA, that while the treatment Of the
Roumanian Jews is contrary to the
treaty of Berlin, 1t is only one of num-
erous cases in which treaty has been
violated without protest from the sig
natories, and 1T is therefore unneces-
sary to do anything about 1t now. The,
statement of fact is indisputable. None
of the powers has paid more attention
to the treaty than served its own
immediate interests, and Austria and
Russia least of all. Their interests, in
deed, have generally been followed in
disregard of the treaty, and each of
them is more concerned for it's own
influence in Roumania than for any
International obligations.
OF President Roosevelt's friendly eff
forts to end the coal strike the Chicago
Inter Ocean we'll says: He is neither
for the miners nor against them. He is
neither for the mine owners nor against
them. He is for the people, the whole
people, and none but the people. For
them he stands like a stone wall and
will continue to stand until their cause
prevails"
In recent Washington letter H. Gill
son Gardner says: Wall street oppo-
sition to the president has done, and is
doing, much to crystalline sentiment in
his favor elsewhere. In these days of
trust agitation the fact that the presi-
dent is opposed by the leading trust
magnates is a sufficient reason Why he
should be supported by all the rest OIL
the people. In the west the reaction in
his favor is particularly noticeable. No
where west of the Alleshanies is any
other name heard among republicans as
a possible nominee in 1904, and demo-
Gratis join with republicans in saying
that Roosevelt is making a great rec
ord. Some democrats go so far as to
say that the president is becoming al
most democrat himself. His trustt
record fits in very nicely with the posi-
ton the democrats are trying to occupy
on this question. while so far as the
tariff is concerned he is known to favor
a modification of the Dingley schedules.
He will come to the 1904 conventionI
with a western support which will en-
gulf the small opposition of Wall street,
