attracted so much, attention and
comment on the part of the general
public by a Of the revolving dis
closures on the former trial it was
difficult to secure a jury. Only two
of the regular panel passed the ordeal
and were accepted by both sides. 1t

contradictions between evidence Civ.

trial.
The defense tried to show the bad
character Of the complaining witness,

: The Great Graft.

The latest batch of post Office indictments
makes palmer than ever that the grasp
which Machep and Beavers had secured
upon that department was complete and
their graft far-reaching. 1t would appear
that no one could do business with the de-
partment in the sale Of supplies or the pre-
sentation of new device without first see
Ing one or both Of this precious pair.
There was a percentage clause in every
bargain. to the disadvantage of the govern
ment. Stock certificates or cash payments
served as introductions- How high up the
malevolent influence welded by these men
extended remains to be disclosed. Natural
ly in the relations between the government
and inventors of patented devices some al
lowance Is to be made for larger rates than
prevail in the case of commodities which
can be purchased in the open market, under
competition But this rule was apparently
given its fullest application, without the
least check or question. The investigation
cannot be made too thorough or the punish
ments, when convictions are had, too severe.

ent attitude in the economic and the politi-
cal equation. The white man owes him
this and 10 vitality interested In seeing that
the negro gets his due. The proposition to
keep millions of people in state of per-
petual poverty and helplessness is abhor-
rent to Justice and germ-breeder OF dis
aster. We certainly have not abolished
African slavery in this country only to es-
tablish an institution even worse. We GER
tainly have not knocked the shackles from
the negro's body only to rivet them on his
mind.
That Prof. Washington should find an
opponent here and there even in the state
where he lives and is unfolding his plans for
the betterment Of his race Ii not surprising
and need not be discouraging. The more
important point Is that the state legfsla-

A Substitute for "America.'

When the Rhode Island Society of the
Cincinnati advertised. some months ago.
for a new tune to which the people OF the
United States could with easy conscience
sing America" there was much ridicule
and some patriotic Indignation. But the
society persisted Notwithstanding and Sc
cured many bidders for the honor of being
proclaimed composer Of the national hymn.
Then there was deep consultation up In
Rhode Island. and finally the award was
made The new tune was officially pro-
claimed the new national hymn-by the
Cincinnati-and is now being occasionally
rendered as a musical curiosity. 1t Is dol
lars to doughnuts that 1t will never be
more than that. The people of this coun-
try now know the tune to which Amer
lea" is sung, far more perfectly than they
know the words. If everybody in a crowd
cannot sing all the verses of DIR. Smith s
hymn they can at least hum and whistle
the air, and that is nearly as good. They
all know the sentiment. at least. Now
If they are asked to learn a new tune they
will be in bad way, not knowing the
words. Thousands will never know what
the band is playing. The mere fact that
we borrowed this old air from England
does not lessen its popularity. In England
they sing God Save the King just as
heartily as though Germans of various
municipalities and kingdoms were not them
selves singing their own versions of metrf-
cal patriotism to the same air, by right,
too. of prior authorship and adoption. This
is the day of combination and now that
so many million people are voicing their
love of country in the same musical terms
why not cherish the hope that eventually
that honorable old tune may become the
patriotic inspiration of the United States
of the World? Better such an undertaking
than the effort to substitute the jingling
measures of some modern composition for
that which has become as firmly founded
as the very Constitution.

Standing by Tuskegee.

This mornings newspapers contain the
following from Montgomery:
"A bill introduced last week in the Ala
baIna legislature, taking from the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute, of which
Booker 7. Washington is principal. a pOr-
ton of the appropriation made yearly by
the state has been considered by the COM
mittee on education. to which II was re-
ferred. and decision unanimously reached
10 report adversely on 1t. The appropria-
ton now being made will be continued"
IL we read here a reply in part to the re-
cent popular expression IN Mississippi on
the subject OF the negro and his future both
the state of Alabama and the country at
large are to be congratulated The work
at Tuskegee Is of interest to every Amerf-
can citizen. 1t has for it's object the eduea-
ton of the ignorant and the uplifting of the
lowly, and the progress made has won the
admiration of all who have Investigated the
record of the institution. No extravagance
is INDUCED in when the statement is made
that Tuskegee Is one of the most interesting

1t is often claimed that II the low bicycle
sulky had been in use in the early eighties
Maud 8. would have gone very close to the
two-minute mark. II not below it. 1t will
hardly be fair to say that today's trial will
demonstrate the truth or falsity Of this
claim. although some indication will be af-
forded IN this direction. 1t is evident that
the racing horse is finer bred today than
even few years ago, as attested by the
repeated new records made under similar
conditions. Rarus made his mile in 2:13N
In 1878 under practically the same circum-
stances as those under which Maud g..
seven years later. scored hers in four and
one-half seconds less Just so, since the
bicycle sulky was devised Nancy Hanks
trotted her 2.04 mile eleven years ago with
the same advantages, save perhaps the wind
shield-which in the Lou Dillon mile help
ed her very little. If any-as those which
aided the present trotting queen. There has
undoubtedly been progress in breeding and
training, and there Will be further progress

No More Time for Colombia

On the pod of this month the period named
for the exchange of ratihcations Of the
canal treaty with Colombia expires. There
is an evident desire in certain quarters 10
have that time extended. In other quar-
tiers a sentiment IL Enthusiastically gaming
ground that this government should regard
the passing of the date as the closure OF all
dealings with Colombia. Certainly the pop
uar view today throughout the United
States is that Colombia has had her chance
to accept the only treaty which this govern
ment can write. and that to grant longer
time would be to accede to the "unreason-
able delay against which Congress IN the
act of last year so plainly provided
The dispatches from Bogota are unsatls-
factory and the official advices throw little
light ON the real situation. There has been
difficulty in the transmission of the govern
ment's own messages and other evidences
of disposition on the part of Colomoians
to becloud and confuse the case. Under
the circumstances the only proper course
is for the United States to close the dealings
with Colombia on the date set and to go at
once about the alternative negotiations
specified by Congress.
Nothing is palmer at this juncture than
that the chance Of getting treaty through
the Colombian congress at all satisfactory
to the United States Is no more than one In
a hundred What with the jingoisin OF
those who oppose the alienation OF any de-
gree of sovereignty over the canal strip. the
ayarice of those who want larger sum IN
payment, the Vaccinations Of those who
see In this affair chance to play politics
and the greed of those who are easy marks
for the railroad lobbyists, the outlook Is al
together forbidding. 1t may be averreo
that 1t will be no better when the nego-
tiations are shifted from Bogota to Mana
qua and San Jose, that the same elements
will be there active against any treaty the
United States may present. This must re-
main for proof.
The prospect of chicanery. bribery ana
stupidity blocking the way for the construc-
ton of the canal on the Nicaragua route Is
not q present factor The act OF Congress
is plain and If the anu-canal forces shoulo
succeed at the capitals of Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA as they have at Bogota then
new problem will arise, to be dealt with In
proper time The point to be borne steadily
in mind today Is that the end OF the Pana-
ma negotiations Is in sight. and that as far
as the record now stands Panama is dis
credited route while Nicaragua still awaits
final attention No additional legislation
Is needed at this juncture, and there should
be no delay in opening the negotiations as
soon as the 22d has passed.
