A NATION OF APPLE EATERS.

The people of the United States are
nation of apple eaters; and it is very
we'll for their health that they are
Except for the good offices of the apple,
indigestion and dyspepsia would prob
ably be much more prevalent, and
Americans would lose much of the en-
ergy and progressiveness that have
placed them in the front rank of peo-
pies of the earth. Recent data COM
piled by the government bureau of
statistics show that the consumption
of apples in this country amounts to
two bushels for every man, woman
and child per year. The average crop
during the past several years has been
176,000,000 bushels, of which only 3,000,-
900 bushels per year have been shipped
abroad. The balance was eaten at
home. No other fruit is so popular
as the apple, which goes into tens
of thousands of homes, and stomachs,
that never know oranges and peaches
and plums.
In numbers, the apple trees of the
United States far surpass all other fruit
trees, the total of the apple family
running upwards of 100000 900, all bus
lily engaged in working for the good
of mankind; and the family is being
increased by the hundreds of thousands
every year. At the end of 1902, it is
estimated, a little better than 55 per
cent. of all the fruit-bearing trees in
the country were ample
Nine-tenths of the American apple
crop is produced in sixteen states, of
which number Georgia is not one. Why
Georgia is not an apple state is diff
cult to understand. Some exception
ally fine apples, as good as those of
any state or section, are grown in
the mountain and hill sections of Geor-
gia. But nobody seems to have
thought of developing the business.
Georgia has beaten Delaware, Michi-
gan and California in peaches, and
there are good reasons for thinking
that she could do the same to New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio in the
matter of apples.

CURRENT COMMENT.

A writer in the New York Press
(Rep) suggests: Gust as a feeler, 1
should like to say that the easiest way
to settle the ever-present negro ques-
, ton is suggested by the Presidents
appointment of David ]. Gilmer, a col
ored soldier of Washington, D. c., as
a second lieutenant in the Philippine
Scouts. Why not send every respecta-
bic negro we have to our new posses
sions and place him in control of some
thing? Have the entire army in the
Philippines composed of negroes, and
require them to keep the 20. 900, 900 Fill
pinos in order. Subject to God and OPP
portupity, the eternal race problem
would then soon adjust itself"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: with the causes of any pres
ent differences among Democrats Gf
any there be- Mr.. Cleveland has had
nothing to do. Like many thousands
of others, he has stood for the funda-
mental principles of Democracy, and
since his retirement from office he has
been reluctant to discuss political
questions. He has never created an oc-
casion to give his advice, but has
stoutly and consistently affirmed his
privacy. Why can't Waterson let him
rest? Probably Mr.. Cleveland is rot
greatly disturbed by the abuse, but
it is certain that it is not creditable
to the press and does not advance the
cause of Democracy which Watterson

DIsCoURAGING GOV. CUMMINs.

The Republican newspapers, partic-
ularly those which approve of the
Dingley tariff, are saying some rather
unpleasant things about Mr.. Cum
Minis, the young Governor of Iowa.
They are trying to make him under
stand that his announcement that he
intends to do his utmost to have a
plank put in the next Republican ma
tional platform to reduce the tariff on
trust-made articles is doing his party
harm and the Democratic party good.
Gov. Cummins has an idea that the
people of Iowa are paying eXorbitant
prices for trust-produced articles, and
he thinks the way to bring these prices
to a fair basis is to remove the tariff
from the articles. OF course he is
right about it, but the Republican pa
pers are trying to make him believe
that he isn't-that if his idea were to
prevail the probability is that the
farmers would not have as good mar
ket for the products of their farms as
they have now, and that in the long
run they would be. the real sufferers.
1t is evident that the farmers of the
West have been thinking about this
trust question a great deal. They see
no reason why they should pay two
prices for farm implements and ma
chinery. The statement has been often
made and never successfully contradict
ed that plows, and reaping, and thresh-
ing machines manufactured in this
country are sold in foreign countries
at much less than they can be pur-
chased for within a mile of the shops in
which they are made. This is, of
course, due to the protective tariff. 1t
is against such monopolies as this that
the growing anti-protection sentiment
in the West is directed
The Republican leaders are of course
going to do all they can to keep this
anti-tariff sentiment from finding ex-
preston in their next national plat
form, but if they succeed their party
is going to lose a great many votes
on account of its suppression. The
people have been deceived a long time
in respect to the protective tariff-the
people who get no benefit from it, but
who are taxed heavily on account of
it, and there are signs that they are
awakening to- the truth. Gov. Cum
Minis idea is getting Judgement in
their minds. If the tariff and trust
bosses succeed in keeping it from bear
ing fruit in the shape of a plank in
the next Republican national platform
they will be fortunate.

THE CUBAN TREATY.

There was a pretty strong sentiment
in the Senate against the Cuban reci-
procity treaty, and it is probable that
it would not have been ratified II there
had not been a belief that there ex-
listed an implied promise to do some-
thing to stimulate the agricultural in
terests Of Cuba as a sort of cOmpensa-
ton for the Platt amendment TO the
Cuban constitution. The cane sugar
interests of Louisiana, the beet sugar
interests of the Middle and Western
states and the tobacco interests of Con-
necticut were all against it. And par
ticularly were the high prOtectionists
against it, because they look upon
reciprocity treaty as an entering wedge
for the overthrow of the high protec-
tive tariff system.
Audit is by no means certain that they
will not finally defeat the treaty. One
of the amendments adopted was that
before the treaty became operative it
would have to be approved by the
House. No one can say with any de-
gree of certainty what that branch of
Congress viii do when its approval of
the treaty is asked The chances are
! that it will approve it, because the
| administration has made it part of
its policy. The House will hesitate
to ignore the wishes of the President
in matter which seems to have the
support Of a very large part, IL not
majority, of the people.
The truth is our manufacturers and
merchants are very anxious for the
approval of the treaty because it
will give them an advantage IN secur-
ing Cuba's trade. Indeed it is prob
able that with the treaty this country
will monopolize that trade within
very few years. At present the bulk
of 1t goes to Europe. For reasons we'll
understood most all of the trade of the
countries to the south of us goes to
European countries. The fact that we
haven't lines of steamers to Central
and South American ports is not one
of them. Now, however, that this
country is beginning to awaken to the
fact that this trade to the south of us
is extremely valuable it is probable
that our manufacturers will set about
adopting means with which to get it,
The South will remember Senator
Bacon for insisting upon the amend
ment to the treaty putting cotton goods
manufactured in the South on the same
basis as those manufactured in the
North. AS originally drawn, there was
a discrimination in the treaty in favor
of the finer grades of cotton goods
manufactured in New England
The Cubans were hoping that the
treaty, if ratified, would become opera
tive at once. Now almost a year must
elapse before it will be known whether
Cuban products are to have the adj
vantage in our market of a reduction
of tariff rates. They will probably
assume that the House will approve
the action of the Senate and proceed
to base their business transactions on
that understanding.

BOWEN FAvoRs THE HAGUE.

The inference from the dispatches is
that Mr. Bowen. who is representing
Venezuela in the matter of the claims
which have been presented to that
country by Great Britain, Germany
and Italy for settlement, does not seem
to favor the movement for the imme-
date payment of those claims. He
has been waiting in Washington for
month or more for the answers Of
Great Britain, Italy and Germany to
his terms for the hearing of the ques-
ton at The Hague as to whether or
not the foregoing nations should be
paid their claims before any payment
was made to other creditors-whether
the allies should have preferential
trea tment.
1t looks as If the allies do not want
to go to The Hague, not because they
are afraid the decision would be
against them, but because they want
their money as soon as they can get it.
From what is appearing in the dis
patches it seems that a New York
banking firm is willing to advance the
money to pay the claims of the allies
provided the percentage of the Gus
toms receipts that Venezuela is to set
apart for the payment of her creditors
is paid to it. There is another cOndi-
ton also, and that is that the United
States shall appoint an agent to see to
it that the customs receipts are hon
estly collected and the share due the
firm is turned over to 1t.
1t does not appear in the dispatches
why it is that Mr.. Bowen is against a
settlement of this kind. His reasons
must be good ones, however, or he
would hardly risk his reputation for
fidelity to Venezuela's interests by
taking the course he has.
But will Castro, Venezuela's presi-
dent, heed his advice? The answer to
that question will soon be known. 1t
seems that the British, German and
Italian ministers are on their way to
Venezuela's capital and as soon as
they arrive there they will bring the
matter of prompt settlement to Cas-
trO's attention.

Sousa makes not only music where
ever he goes, but friends also, and
many of these have a way of inviting
him. to their houses when he wants to
nest in his hotel. Says NJ. A p The
March King though by no means
ncient, was. nevertheless, not born

In one of the towns he lately met d
lady with large reputation for worry

dinners and "at. homes" She sent him
a pressing invitation to sup at her

to Sousa's ears that she had issued in

"previousness" not to be tolerated
even by an American-and he declin-

There is danger in writing letters
about matters which you do not want
to reach the public. 1t is said that the
Buffalo authorities have a letter writ
ten, or alleged to have been written,
by Arthur r. Pennell to Mrs. Burdick,
the widow of the man whose murder
is now being Investigated in that city.
AS is well known Pennell was paying
too much attention to Mrs. Burdck to
suit Mr.. Rurdick, and he began di-
yorce suit against his wife. The letter
which the authorities have is said to
contain this sentence, namely, Il feel
it my duty to kill Ed Burdick." If this
was actually written by Pennell in a
letter to Mrs. Burdick, the suspicion
that he murdered Burdick and then
committed suicide by running his auto
mobile over a precipice into a stone
quarry, killing not only himself but his
wife also, will be strengthened. 1t is
a wise plan not to commit such mat
tiers to paper as that alleged to have
been written by Pennen to Mrs. Bur-
dick.
