No Chairman Selected

There is some talk but no con-
clusions reached at Washington as to
who will be national chairman next
year. 1t is assumed that Senator
Hanna viii likely desire TO retire
when the proper time arrives. Sena-
tor Lodge has been mentioned as
probable selection but it is pointed
out that it may not be desirable to
have a chairman who is in too close
touch with the presidential candidate
as any decisive action might be
construed as having been inspired.
Suggestion has been made for some
young man to take the management
Of the campaign but no young man
has yet been suggested whose persO-
nality is sufficiently forceful 10 con-
vince party men that he Is the right
man for the place. This is a year
ahead yet, however, and ample
opportunity to make selection.

NIGHT AND MORNING

The calm clear waters softly flow
On to the river they silently go.
Beneath the cool and shady trees
RipDled by many passing breeze.
Rejecting the banks, the trees and sky,
With zephery clouds sailing on high,
While Luna casts her sIlvery light,
Although the quiet hours of night
TIL the hours Of morning light draw nigh
And from the glen dark shadows fly.
The stars fade one by one away,
Warned by the approaching day.
Here the deep, dark shadows lie
Nights dusk mantle lifting high.
In the east the rosy light,
Bids adieu to the ended night.
The rippling waters dash and leap,
Over the rocks 80 gray and steep,
Shaded by the sunlights gleam
Fitting o'er the placid stream.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Postmaster General Payne has no
intention of resigning from the cabi-
net in the immediate future. This
statement was made to your cores
pondent by the postmaster general
himself when his attention was
called to the fact that numerous
reports have been sent out from
Washington to the effect, that, owing
to his poor health, the criticism of
the public press, ETC., he would offer
his resignation almost Immediately.
1t lis learned moreover, that in making
plans for the coming summer, which
was done at the last cabinet meeting
before the president left for Oyster
Bay, the presence Of Mr.. Payne in
Washington for at least a month
more and his permanent retention of
his present place was counted on.
Senator Hanna, who spent Friday in
Washington, said before leaving that
there was no truth in the statement
telegraphed from Cleveland that he
had come to Washington to confer
with the president regarding Mr..
Payne's probable resignation and
that in so far as he knew Mr.. Payne
had no such intention.

Are We Just to Women P


When 1 think of the women with
whom I constantly work in Boston,
who are serving with such broad
devotion every public interest, when
l think Of my own wife, and con-
slider that such women are denied
the suffrage given to the man just
intelligent enough to run their
furnace and clean their Sidewalks
when I think of absurdities like
this, / do not need to be told, and
the legislature of Massachusetts
ought not so need to be told, that,
whatever conditions may rightfully
be imposed upon the suffrage, a
condition which draws lines like
this clearly Is not one of them.
But, while we may have to wait a
few years, all surely ought to see
that the taxing Of ones property for
public purposes without giving the
taxed person any voice is in opposi-
ton 10 fundamental English princi-
pies. England herself already
clearly sees this. and women there
have now the municipal suffrage.
Surely we ought not to be behind
Old England in this matter,

The Name ouba

The United States Board of Geo.
graphical Names has spent consider.
able time finding the origin of the
name Cuba. The result is announced
as follows: "Cnba is tile name by
which the island was originally
known by the Lucayan Indians, who
were with Columbus when he dis
coved it. One of It's villages or
cities was called by them Cubanacan,
and it is reported that from the
similarity of sounds Columbus, still
supposing himself to be on the coast
of Asia, imagined that this must be
the city of Kubla Kahn, the Tartar
sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo.
The survival of the original name
of Cuba is a remarkable instance of
persistence, as the island has been
baptized and rebaptized many times
since its European discovery.
columbus first called it Juana,
in honor of Prince John, the son OF
Ferdinand aud Isabella. After
Ferdinand's death it was called, in
his memory, Ferdinanda. Subse-
quently this name was changed to
Santiago, after st. James. the patron
saint of Spain. Still later it was
named Ave Maria, in honor OF Vir-
gin Mary But none of those names
held, and the Indian name is still
preserved.

The republicans have been scanning
the planks OF the Iowa democratic
platform with broad smiles. The
Iowa democrats must in reality be in
need Of an issue when they have to
denounce in their platform the
Aldrich financial bill, a measure
which has not yet even secured the
favorable action Of the senate to say
nothing of the house Of representa-
tives.

The most important developments
in the postoffice investigation during
the past week have been the indict-
ments of Edwin w. briggs and ]. V.
Miller, the former an ex-member of
congress. 1t appears that while a
member of congress, briggs accepted
81, ,250 for his services in securing the
adoption by the postoffice departme Mt
of an automatic change making
machine and that Miller paid the
amount to him. This is a statutory
Offense and punishable with fine and
imprisonment. 1t has long been
suspected that Geo. w. Beavers was
mixed up in the same transaction but
that has not yet been proven. Ex-
Postmaster General Smith has issued
a lengthy statement regarding the
Tulloch charges in which he attempts
to prove collusinn between Tulloeh
and Inspector Smith, whose report
made so important a part of Bristow
reply. Mr.. Smiths ground for
charging eollusion is that both Tul-
loch and Inspector Smith use, in
many instances, identical phraseology
but that is explained at the postoffice
department by the statement that
both the Tulloch charges and the
Smith report were based on letter
Of comptroller Of the treasury Trace
well and that the phraseolOgy referred
to was, in both Instances, borrowed
from him.

A Year wlthOnt a Summer

In the year 1916 there was a sharp
frost in every month of the year in
the Northern States. 1t was known
as the year without a summer. The
farmers referred to it as the eighteen
hundred and starve to death. In
May ice formed half an inch thick,
buds and flowers were frozen, and
corn was killed all over New Jersey
Frost, ice and snow were common
in June throughout Pennsylvania,
and snow fell five inches deep in
New York, and in Massachusetts, 10
inches deep on June 1s. July was
accompanied with frost and ice. On
the 18th ice formed to the thickness
of window glass, and throughout
New England corn was nearly all
destroyed in many sections. In
August ice formed half an inch
thick. A cold northern wind pre-
vailed nearly all summer with heavy
rainfalls. Corn was frozen so that
the greater part was cut down and
dried as fodder. Farmers were
obliged to pay "a to IS a bushel for
corn of 1915 for seed for the next
years planting.

President Roosevelt has received
a most friendly complimentary
cablegram from Emperor William
apropos of the arrival at Kiel of the
American naval squadron. 1t is as
much a part of Mr.. Roosevelt's in
ternational policy to maintain the
most friendly relations with all
foreign powers as it is to establish
and support a powerful navy. It
was with that end in view that he
spared no pains to make the visit Of
Prince Henry of Prussia a pleasant
ore and he regards the cablegram of
the Emperor as further evidence
of the success of his policy. Not
only has the Kaiser thus cabled the
president but ne has invited the
American commanders to dine with
himself and the Empress and has in
every way possible shown his friend
illness for the United States.

Throughout the past week oonsid
able interest has been manifested
bere in the platform to be and
afterwards adopted by the Iowa
democrats. Now that the platform
has been adopted republican senti
ment takes two forms. On the one
hand qualification is expressed that
the democrats have repudiated Col.
Bryan and his 16 to 1 heresy on the
other it is remarked that the demo
Gratis with a common sense platform
will not be as easy to beat as they
would be we're they to remain loyal
to the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms. This does not mean,
however, that there is the slightest
apprehension regarding the election
of next year as even the democrats
themselves, at least the best posted
of them, admit among themselves,
that it will be impossible to defeat
Mr.. Roosevelt.

Senator Hanna said that his chief
purpose in coming to Washington
was to confer with Secretary Shaw
with regard to the new postofiice
building at Cleveland. Asked if he
discussed with Mr.. Roosevelt the
craftsmanship of the republican
national committee, Mr.. Hanna said
that he had no knowledge of his own
intention to resign that position,
which is taken to mean that Mr..
Hanna has agreed to retain that
arduous position. Senator Hanna
lunched at the White House the day
he was in Washington, other guests
present being Sir Thomas Upton and
Geo. w. Perkins, the partner of j..
Pierpont Morgan. After luncheon
Messrs. Hanna and Perkins had a
long conference with the president
regarding the proposed financial
legislation which is being considered
by Senator Aldrich's subcommittee.
1t is understood that Mr.. Perkins
presented to the two statesmen the
Wall Street view of remedies which
should be applied TO the financial
system. AS it was through the
influence of Mr.. Perkins that the
disclosures of irregularities in the
postoffice department, which were
being made in a Washington news
paper last December, were hushed up
his presence at the White House gave
rise to all kinds Of speculation.
