Mr. Platt's Suggestion.

Senator Platt OF New York is not widely
known as a jester. and so many will believe
that lie asks serious consideration for his
suggestion of Senator Aldrich of Rhode
Island for the vice presidency. The sug-
gestiOn however, whether joCose or Sc
rious seems odd, coming from one of the
most experienced politicians in the country.
Mr.. Aldrich is very able man, but there
are a number of reasons why he would not
answer as a running mate for Mr.. Roose-
welt.
% His locality is against him. Why go
to a suburb OF New York for the second
man for the ticket? The east will be rec
ognized in Mr.. Roosevelt Custom and good
politics will call for the recognition of the
middle states. or the west, or the north
west in conflicting the ticket. Good vice
presidential timber in those sections is
abundant Any one of a dozen men whose
names have been figuring in the speculation
on the subject would answer the end in
view excellently And it is entirely safe to
say that IL is to one of those sections, and
not to the little state of Rhode Island. that
the republicans Will so for their candidate.
Any other course would hardly comport
with their record for good Judgment.
CD Mr.. Aldrich IS the most extreme and
aggressive Of the standpatters on the tariff
question. If the matter We're left to him
he would not change the schedules of the
Dingley tariff law in u quarter of a cen
tury. He is opposed 10 reciprocity in every
form. The treaties negotiated by Mr.. kas
son at tn, instance of Mr.. Mckinley. and
subHitted 10y Mr.. Mckinley to the Senate
for ratification. have been held up by Mr..
Aldrich almost sinGlehandcd. They are on
the Senatc's table today uudisposed Of and
morlbund. What republican speaker In
next years campaign could mention with
straight face Mr.. Mckinley's Buffalo
Speech with Mr.. Aldrich the party's can
didate for Vice President?
80 Popular Judgment may do Mr.. Aldrich
an injustic" in this particular. but his view
of the question OF finance is regarded as
the Wall street view. \ man of large
means himself. and intimately connected
and associated with such men, he would be
the target as a vice presidential candidate
for iunumcrable Shafts from those who re-
gard Wall street with particular aversion
and as seeking far too boldly to shape ma
tional legislation i'll its own and kindred in
terests.
Mr. Flatt IS in cool place at the sea-
side. and runs no risk in talking politics in
midsummer. He should guess again.

The Cuban Treaties.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Cuba has done well. She has promptly
ratified the treaties recently negotiated
concerning the United States coalng and
naval stations and the Isle of Pines She
has done so without amendment and at a
much earlier date than was necessary. In
so doing she has gratified her friends and
disappointed her enemies. 1t was limited
not long ago that she would reject the
treaties or delay ratifying them until the
United States had granted her reciprocity.
Had she done so. 1t would have been diff
cult to find ground on which the United
States could consistently blame her. seeing
how worse than dilatory this country has
been in fulfilling its high moral Obligation
to give Cuba reciprocity In trade Nor could
we easily have resented her insstence upon
holding the treaties in allegiance as hos
tages for the fulfllment of our word. seeing
how the United States, at the behest Of
selfish interests. has been made to play
fast and loose with it's own promises.

Karageorgevitch in English Eyes.

From the Contemporary Review
The situation of Karageorgevitch is. NOR
ally speaking. as bad as 1t can be; and Its
legality is more than doubtful. He is the
receiver Of stolen goods. If ne had no fore
knowledge Of a massacre, he knew Of the
conspiracy, and whether he did or not he
Is an accomplice after the fact. The fac
ton that brought him back had no power
to reinstate. by proclamation or otherwise,
the radical De. nationalist and Russophile)
skuptschina which Alexander had an un-
questionable right to dissolve. 1t is true
that he tired out the patience of the Bel
grade politicians and the cafe haunting Of
ficers by his frequent changes of the con-
stitutiOn and that whenever he made an
alteration he talked like a despot. People
generally sooner forget tyrannical acts
than deSpotic words.

things hardheaded. There calculation rules,
and leaves no place for SentimentaliSm,
much less for superstition. But gross a
vulgar error is the foregoing that 1t re-
uuires the attention of a Sir Thomas
Browne Far from being skeptical and
self-suftcient, Wall street is very nest of
peculiar superstitions 1t has a truly me-
diaeval tendency to explain all phenomena,
not as workings of natural law but as tho
result of the direct interposition of vague
personalities. In good times this mythology
Is generally monotheistic. presupposing the
beneficent working of a single deity: in bad
times 1t Is polytheistic, imagining the NAL
eficent activities Of a host of diabolical

Penny Postage.

From the New York Mail and Express
A bill for penny letter postage has been
urged before Congress during the past
decade. The chief objection has been de-
crease of revenue and a larger deficit.
But these economies will soon make income
and outgo in the department SO nearly
equal that the revenue caused by larger
business under one cent postage may safe
ly be anticipated for few years.

The only rational way to cure dyspepsia

stomach to perform digestion in a natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods

simply because il cures catarrh wherever

William Kemp, an English comic
actor who fourished during the last
years of Queen Elizabeth, and who
belonged to the same company as
Shakespeare, and created" Dogberry,
danced from London to Norwich, a
distance of ia miles. He was accom-
panied by servant, an umpire and
man with tabor and pipe. Crowds
hindered his start on Feb. IL, 1000,
and many met him at every place.
Several tried to dance with him, but
none could rival his pace; the most
successful were women. Although de-
layed by a snowstorm, he did 1t in
nine days. and on the way accepted
challenge or two, each time coming
on best, except when a Chelmsford
maiden of IA danced till he was
ready to lie down" On his return
he wrote an account of 1t, which ends
with warning to those with whom
he had made wagers that If they did
not pay up he would publish their
names. The Nine Daies' Wonder"
as the title runs, is a merry. readable

x rat has been seen, for example, to
mount table and upset box of figs

ty waiting rats; and the stopper in a
flask Of oil has been removed by rats
which then dipped their long tails
into the bottle until 1t was dry. Sugar
has been found in deep drawers thir-
ty feet from the place where the rats
had found it, and they have been
known to carry eggs from the bottom
Of house to the top without break
ing them, the egg resting upon the
hind legs of one rat and the forelegs
of another as they climber the stairs.

with rats that they destroyed a hun
dred-weight of bisuits every day, and
it was necessary at last to smoke the
ship between decks.

AFLoAr FOR $50 YEARS.
Ship Anita Retired After Long Rec
ord Of SIowpess


What ship in the world can boast
just been sold to be broken up? She
was registered at the port Of Genoa,
and has been afloat almost since the
days of Columbus.
She was built in Genoa In 154S, and
her last voyage has not long been
over. 1t was from Naples to Teneriffe.
1t is true she was 205 days on one
voyage from Baltimore to Rio de
Janeiro, but what is that to a ship
which has weathered such countless
storms and tornadoes in all parts OF
the world?
The sturdy old vessel has been en-.
gagged in the carrying trade between
Spain and the United States. OF course
she has been repaired frequently dur
ing the many long years Of her life,
but still her original style has been
preserved, and she still exhibits her
high bow and stern and lavish cary
ings of oak.
The schooner Raven of Beaumaris
is a famous old vessel. She has been
engaged in the coasting trade during
the reigns of five British monarchs.
In fact, her age is ia years; but the
old ship has been taken to Carnarvon
harbor to be broken up.
A fine old warship is the old 70-gun
frigate Anne. She was crippled and
run ashore OF Dungeness in Admiral
Torringtons battle with the French
fleet in 1890 For a full 200 years she
has been embedded in the sands there.
She has become visible once more,
for the hulk now shows plainly at low
tides close In to the snore. Expedi.
lions are being organized to raise
some Of her old brass guns.
A still older warship is a Spaniard
which has been discovered lately un.
der 200 feet of water off Messina
From this vessel six guns have been
recovered, including two guns seven
feet long.
These bear the date 1862 under the
royal escutcheon of Spain-which
makes 1t pretty certain that she was
sunk in some naval engagement in the
seventeenth century.-Stray Stories.
