The Freeman's Journal, of Coop
erstown, N. Y, has had an expert
ence possible to few newspapers. Its
editor, Samuel M. Shaw, has retired
from active service to a green old
age of ot,tns cum dignitate after a
continuous career of more than fifty
years, and, as young yet in every
thing but years, ability and expert
ence as when he took up the work
in the early ffties. He made his
paper one of the finest local weeklies
in this country by impressing it
with his own individuality. Never
coarse nor vituperous, 1t was always
vigorous and aggressive. Its intlu-
ence was as broad as the state-yes,
broader. Mr.. Shaw has been the
trusted confidant and adviser of the
democratic leaders of New York
from the early days of Horatio Sey-
mour and his political friends to the
later days of Grover Cleveland and
his friends. Hehas shaped policies,
made governors, congressman and
judges, and yet would never accept
any office whatsoever. In social
life he is charming, and no young
man ever enjoyed his friendship
and hundreds have-who were not
the better and nobler for it. The
writer is delighted to feel that the
occasion has presented when it may
with propriety thus publicly pay
this feeble tribute to his sterling
character and conspicuous ability
without embodying it in an obitu-
airy notice. Long may he live to be
honored and beloved as he deserves.

the isthmus two days ago from Mexico,
was interviewed here today.

he spoke guardedly and did not appear dis
posed to discuss its terms or the proba-

congress. He seemed to believe, however.
that the Interpretation the United States
put on obligatory rights to maintain free
transit across the isthmus and its pro-
posed manner Of enforcing these rights
had created an unfavorable impression
throughout Colombia.
The politicians who would be called upon
to decide the fate Of the treaty would not
be likely to forget, he said, the humiliating
Incidents which occurred during the recent
insurgent hostilities.
General Reyes ip no way expressed him

GERMANS SEEK RECIPROCITY
When Cuban Treaty is Ratified Kaiser Will
Ask Some Privileges.
FEARS AMERICAN MONOPOLY IN WEST
Berlin government Thinks IL Likely
United states May Corral All New
world Markets by similar
Protocols.

BERLIN, March 14.-Germany wishes to
secure a reciprocity treaty with Cuba and
the United State similar to that now pend
ing between the two republics. The re-
quest will be made as soon as the pending
treaty is ratified. 1t is also intimated that
other governments intend to request the
same reatment.
While annoyed at the lower tariffs
granted United States trade. no one SUI
poses that even a collective protest on the
part Of the continental countries would
cause either the United States or Cuba to
recede. But Germany's position is to be
defined clearly, SO that the United States
may not complain when Germany gives
other nations preferential treatment.
The chief fear is that should the Cuban
treaty be accepted and work well, similar
treaties may be arranged by the United
States with Mexico, Brazil and Argentine,
ultimately resulting in America obtaining
a monopoly of all the new world markets.

continued to do 30 ever since, whenever
there is the least sign OF Group or sore

they have saved noe many an anxious night

how quickly they will break up a eroupy

People who have used sprays, inhalers,
