NEWS AND NOTES.

acres and is said to be the largest
private land holding in the East.
Undoubtedly General Smith was
q yicarious sacrifice to Root, as
was Eagan to Alger, but it be-
came necessary to get rid of Al
ger and history is likely to repeat
itsalf.
When every American carpen-
ter and contractor realizes that he
has to pay 80. 25 for the same key
OF nails for which the foreigner
pays 81, 30 there is likely to be a
depletion of the Republican ranks.
The frequency of drownings
through the overconfdence of am
eteur sailors suggests the advisa-
blllty OF requiring a license to
sail a boat similar to that neces-
sary to the navigator of a steam
vessel.
All chance of peace between
Senator Quay and Governor Stone
has been obliterated by the selec.
ton of Miss Quay to christen the
Pennsylvania when, by all prece-
dent, Miss Stone should have been
selected.
The Republicans are wise in
their decision to use oratory rath-
Ell than literature in the coming
campaign. Buncombe is far less
easily detected when couched in
flamboyant oratory than when ex-
pressed in print.
If the alleged high price of
American labor necessitated charg-
ing higher prices for American
manufactures it would be impos-
sible for American manufacturers
to undersell their competitors in
foreign markets.
Capt. Henry Hartford, British
Consul at Manila, is in this coun-
try and he advances the theory
that Gen. Lawton was killed by
an American deserter rather than
by Filipino, as be says the Fill
pinos are notorious y bad shots.
The semi-ofliciaI announcement
that General Wood is to be placed
in charge of the construction of
the Panama canal leads to the
question, does physicians educa-
ton and the friendship of the
President qualify a man to direct
a great engineering enterprise?
President Roosevelt makes the
mistake of believing that he has
an insight into War Department
affairs when he has gone to the
Root of them. He made the same
error in regard to Navy Depart
ment affairs. He mistook a Long
investigation for thorough one.
Those persons who are clamor-
ing for more severe punishment
for General Smith are excessive.
His forcible retirement amounts
practically to fine of 50, $50 aside
from the disgrace and, after all,
General Smith knew he was sim
ply carrying out the wishes of his
superiors.
The re- liation of Quay and
Elkin sug9ttlds> >dshake of

Senator Carmack, who has just
returned from his trip through
New England with Mr.. William
J. Bryan, says that the Associated
Press was totally in error in its
reports that MIR. Bryan exploited
the silver question in his New Eng,
land speeches. Mr.. Carmaok says
that Mr.. Bryan never touched up
on the currency question. In fact,
all Mr.. Bryan's speeches, which
were we'll received, were very sim

Burgess bestowed on the president
one day this week as he passed

statements in regard to the con

Republicans were now engaged in

Much amusement is expressed
here at the reports coming from
Illinois to the effect that the Re.
publican machine is waking from
its fancied security in regard to
the senatorial contest. Some time
ago the claim that Senator Mason
could make any impression On the
Republicans of the state was
laughed to scorn by the machine
Republicans but now they are be-
ginning to realize that the election
of Representative Hopkins to the
Senate is not 50 certain. His con-
demnation by the typographical
unions is bound to prove serious
obstacle. There are some Demo
Gratis who express the hope that
the senatorial contest may end in
deadlock which will result in
sending a Democrat to the Senate
from Illinois.

date relief and consequent cure.
