of his Office in Fulton Market one day
last week when a literary woman came
up to him and said: Mr.. Blackford, I

ford, according to the New York Times,
Il have never given the subject a

some remarkable things. Last summer
I was fishing for founders in Jamaica

hook with one claw, took off the bait
with the other, ate it and then climbed
up the line hand over hand, tum bled
into the boat and went nosing around
looking for the bait box If that isn't

The New York Chamber OF Com

Resolved. That this chamber here

Convention at Washington on the Goth

bring about closer trade relations with
Dur sister nations, and to open new

Resolved. That the Chamber views
with apprehension the policy advocat-
ed by the reciprocity convention, as
likely to invite hostile legislation on
the part OF the other nations against
this country to the great detriment of
its commercial interests
For once the New York Chamber of
Commerce seems to have had the pres

it is not wholly committed to the inter

carriers Present at the meeting were
two gentlemen who had served the
chamber as delegates to the reciproc-

Schieren and James TalcOtt demurred
to the proposed expression of disap-

A Jolt for ths Arnachists.

Some of the anarchists who are at tempting to influence the vote against certain candidates, because they are friends of the "Murphys" evidently do net credit their readers with having any common sense. Where would ev- cry town between Ash Fork and Phoe- nix be if it had not been for Frank Murphy? How about Congress, and what is he doing for Tombstone today ? How about the new Phoenix Benson railroad that the people in that section have been straining every muscle to have built? Do not the people of these sections, and all Arizona owe the Mur- phys a debt of gratitude which will never be repaid? Of course the Mur- phys have not done all this purely out of bigness of heart, but the territory has been benefited along with the Murphys, and what section of Arizona would not gladly have a few more men like 'the Murphys" interested in their particular locality? What if they do make money? When "the Murphys" are making money anywhere. it can gen orally be taken for granted that they liYen things up so that many others make money. and lots of it. so why all this tommy-rot about voting against man because he is a friend of "the Murphys. s."-Wickenburg News Herald

 While we do not approve of such de- ception we would suggest that it might be well if the president could arrange it in the future to appear only by proxy in front of trolley cars and other en- zines of destruction. A comparatively cheap man might be employed to butt into the dangerous places where the president is supposed to have his mar row escapes, but to impose upon the plain people as the citizens of the little towns in Massachusetts were imposed upon is manifestly unjust Perhaps the temporary stairway which the presi- dent was supposed to have walked up- on. and which has been preserved as souvenir by a Connecticut militia company merely creaked beneath the feet of Secretary Moody and never bore the weight of the president at all. The thought is almost too horrible to be en- tertained.

There is now no piece of literature in Arizona go hard to obtain as the short hand report of Candidate Wilson's speech which was made in Phoenix and printed in one of the democratic organs. Every obtainable copy was gathered up and destroyed by the candidates friends. Why? Because of Wilson's advocacy of repudiation and his sense- less attacks on capital and upon the interests of the wage workers in the mines and on the railroads-and it was hoped that by getting all copies of the speech out of the way the voters would forget the candidates platform. But the voters do not forget so easily as was hoped.

What the Armour Fee Pays for

In the work of a skilled Vienna sur
 geon at Chicago we have a striking ex-
 ample of how the law of compensation
 operates and how little science and
 humanitarianism reckon with wealth
 except as a means to their ends. 4 daughter of the Armours and six chill dren of the poor were doomed alike from birth to death to deformities which had baffied surgery when they had not wholly defeated it. That the Armour child was heiress to s20. .00O O0C made it possible to draft the highly successful continental specialist to cor rect the discrepancy of nature, and. as it now seems. to effect faultless result The fee of 10000, while it was nothing to the Armour family. was an insur- mounts ble barrier to the truckman and five other humbly circumstanced par ents of children afflicted with congenI- and the Armour fee made it possible for Professor Lorenx to treat the six cases of congenital hip disease free of charge.

 Cuban Statistics.

The ominous report is renewed that sanitation is being neglected in Cuba. In Havana itself there is said to be a perceptible decline in efficiency. while in Santiago and othre cities conditions are described as almost as bad as before the American occupation. The latter description is perhaps a bit exagger- ated The permanent improvements made by the Americans would make l. | impossible for those places so soon to | fal into anything like as vile a state as they were beofre the war Neverthe- less. the best of plants will deteriorata unless it properly used and maintained. and it would b quite possible for thise places within year to get into a con- dition inviting pestilence and menac- Ing health.
 For such retrogression, if 1t is actual ly occurring. there are two major reas- ons though no excuse. One Is that the Cuban people have not as a whole yet been educated up to our sanitary stan dard, or up to the necessity of keeping their ports and cities in condition not only fit for native residents, but also foreign visitors. Too many of them still say "the old way was good enough for us. We do not get yellow fever. I: strangers who come here do get it. that Is their lockout. We are not going to exert and discommode ourselves and spend a lot of money for something which we do not need just for the good of strangers" The other reason is that Largely because of the United States dishonorable treatment of her-Cuba is short of money and finds it easiest to economize by reducing a class of ex- penditures to which the people are people are largely opposed.
 | It is, of course, a great mistake for Cuba to do so. Her men of light and leading should depend upon the island being kept in a sanitary standard set during the American occupation. The development and prosperity of the isl- and depend upon its being kept in : sanitary condition, so that visitors and traders from all the world can go thith- CT at any time with safety That Is dictated to Cuba by self-interest It is. moreover. something upon which the United States has a right to insist: and that is not only because Cuba agreed | in adopting the Platt amendment to maintain satisfactory sanitation. It is so, also, because the unsanitory condi- tion of Cuba under Spanish rule was one of the prominently expressed caus- es and rounds of American intervention in that island in 1898. It was one of the causes of our war with Spain. Having fought foreign war to rid Cuba of pes ! tilence. the United States will not per init the island again to become a lag arhouse.-New York Tribune.

George Amer idge said that while riding out from Savannah on horseback he saw typ ical southern matron outside a white washed cabin. while on the lawn in front bevy of young colored children were plyaing.

An important case. which raises the question of the constitutionality of the legal tender provisions of the Bland Allison act of 1878. was submitted without argument in the United States supreme court a few days ago. The case originated in Michigan in 1S9I. and the parties to the litigation are Fred A. Baker and stephen Baldwin. Baldwin was indebted to Baker to the extent of $S64. and in payment rendered $364 silver dollars. Baker refused to accept the silver, alleging that it was not legal money Baldwin brought suit in the state courts of Michigan to compei acceptance and those courts sustained his contention. Baker took the case to the supreme court on a writ of error. and the court will now take the case up for final consideration.

Here the voters of Arizona have the disinterested judgment of two distin- guished United States senators-mem- bers of the side which controls and is responsible for legislation in the United States senate-against the arguments advanced by candidates who are ask ing the people of Arizona for their votes.
 Would any jury decide for Colonel Wilson on such a showing? Doubtless, Candidate Wilson and Mark Smith will continue to insist that their opinion should govern in the grave crisis which confronts the citi- zens of the territory; that the voters are not capable of putting two and two together and that Senators Platt and Burton, and their fellow members of the majority, being merely republicans, should not be considered-that only the
 
 in mind. But it is yet to be proved that Arizona is a fruitful field for the green goods" and gold brick indus tries.
 It is undeniable that the chances are greatly in favor of the passage of the omnibus bill in December, in any event; but it is unquestionable that the pros poets will be greatly improved by the election of Robert F. Morrison. So long as there remains single doubt the duty of democrats Is to ignore the personal ambitions of Candidate Vii. son and ignore the crack of the demo- cratic party whip.

Cuba Falling Behind.

One of the first things done by Gen. eral Leonard Wood. when he was placed in charge of Santiago, Cuba, was to set about to clean the city. He found conditions were such as to ensure a terrible epidemic of all sorts of dis eases. and he had the natives clean not only the streets, but their private prop critics at once. The effect of this gener- al cleaning and the removal of offal-- the accumulation of years-was to drive disease away and to make the city as healthy as any other city anywhere else. This policy was put into opera ton in the other towns of Cuba. and it was not long before yellow fever began to disappear and the general health ot the people improved. The most radical changes were brought about in Havana. There many streets were cleaned and made over, filthy houses were destroyed and private property relieved of piles of disease breeding matter. Sewers were built. and when the Cubans tool; possession of Havana they found it IS healthy as any city in the United States. Under what is known as the Platt amendment the Cubans agreed to this proposition:
 That the government of Cuba will execute and as far as necessary eX- tend the plans already devised, or other plans, 10 be mutually agreed upon, for the sanitation of the cities of the isl and. to the end that a recurrence of epidemic and infectious diseases may | be prevented, thereby assuring protec- tion to the people and commerce of Gu ba, as we'll as the commerce of the southern ports of the United States and the people residing therein
 In spite of this agreement, it is now related that the Cuban cities are laps ing back into the old Spanish condi- tions. There is said to be no apprecia- ton of what cleanliness means, to say nothing of the incalculable advantage | it is to have clean streets, clean houses and to pay a close attention to sanitary conditions. The cid slip-shod methods of the Spaniards are easier than a close dllChliOi lO AioNNCiS SOhScA AAh6 thS public health, and the Cubans are said to be willing to tempt yellow fever and other diseases to renew their ravages.
 After all the good work done by General Wood, Major Gorgas and other Americans it is discouraging to be told that the Cubans have no re- spect for their promises or any interest in their own physical welfare. The Gu bans were anxious to obtain control of their island and now, after the lapse of only a few months, they are reported to be drifting back into the old ways and show an utter lack of appreciation of the heroic work they have to do.
