CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem) says:
president Roosevelt puts the case of
Cuba very forcibly to Congress, quite
as forcibly as President Mckinley de
clared the plain duty of the United
State toward Porto Rico-and we all
know what came of that call TO the
legislators. The beet sugar interests
are prepared to wage their war against
the proposition of reciprocity for the
island republic, which we are bound
by the highest obligations to carry
through, and it remains to be seen
whether a sense of right and national
duty or the selfish consideration of a
group of Americans will prevail"
The Norfolk Landsmark (Dem.)
says: Germany and Great Britain
and France display suspicious alacrity
in acouiescing in our wet-nursing of
the new Panama infant. The Euro
pean Powers are delighted with the
situation. 1t has long been their en-
deavor to get the United States to
acknowledge suzerainty over Central
and South American states; for if we
acknowledge suzerainty, we acknowl-
edge responsibility and we shall be
expected to police the territory and
compel the payment of debts, etc, etc.
From his stolen position in Manchuria
the Russian Bear must be regarding
our campaign in Panama with a grin
of satisfaction"
The New York Journal of Commerce
Qnd) says: 1.-THE present state of
things with regard to the Cuban treaty
is most unfortunate, the more so as
the shabby game now being played by
the protected interests is an old one.
It consists in putting treaty or tariff
bill into such shape that those who
fathered it can hardly recognize their
offspring. Then the document in its
garbled state is spoken of as if il were
the original product, and is abused
and discredited as SUCH This was the
history of the Wilson tariff bill, and
the Cuban treaty is now suffering
from similar juggling methods. The
time for remedial action has come.
The House of Representatives, which
has been called into consultation and
which is so jealous of its prerogatives,
should Vdndicate itself by restoring
the treaty to it's original state, and by
insisting upon the assent of the SEN
ate. But, whether il be altered or
not. a failure to pass the treaty now
will be a blow in the face of Cuba
and Of our own executive, and will
stultify Congress"

The BELLS of Long Ago.

From the Christian Intelligencer.
Through mem'ry they are Ginning still,
those bells of long ago,
With undulating tones that like a
peaceful river flow;
At twilight when l sit alone beside my
window here,
They come like voices from the past
in cadence sweet and clear
Those village bells, those silvery
knells,
I hear them sounding soft and
low.
Those bells of long ago.
This Sabbath evening soft with June
how mellow is the sky:
The bird to seek its quiet nest on
weary wing goes by.
The rose that opened to the morn and
blushed to see its light,
Droops now, and hides the dewy kiss
of natures fond goodnight.
o, peaceful Sabbath bells, what love
your echo tells;
Sweet doth your music ever flow.
Dear bells of long ago.
Another picture comes to view, a Joy
Gus and a bright;
1 see a gay and happy throng in con-
course of delight.
They're marching to the little church.
Shy miss and bashful swain,
While friends with blossoms strew
their path-it is a marriage train.
Glad wedding bells, their cadence
swells
In sweetest tones that hearts NAV
know,
Love-bells of long ago.
But now there comes a sadder scene
that lipparG he
To touch the heart with sorrows pane
and fill the eyes with tears.
A grave is in the churchyard made
and, though the earth be fair.
One who was more than dear to me a
sleep is resting there.
Q, plying BELLS it's hope that tells
Heavens message in your peace
full flow,
Sweet bells Of long ago.

A REFoRM THAT NEEDED.

The developments in the case of the
United States Shipbuilding Company
show beyond question that the cor
forming. That company is incorporat-
ed under the laws of that state and
so are many others of the concerns
which are overcapitalized to an extent
that is alarming. And it is asserted
that the corporation laws of that state
permit of illegitimate schemes of one
kind and another.
Judging from what is appearing in
the public prints which circulate in
New Jersey the leading men of the
state, without regard to their political
affiliations, are of the opinion that
there should be changes made in the
states corporation laws. But it seems
that the Governor and the Secretary
of State hold the opinion that the laws
are all right as they are-that there
is no good reason for changing them
1t seems a little strange that these Of
fcials should take a position in this
matter contrary to that held by the
great majority of the thinking people
of the state.
If the laws were changed, making
them more strict, and hence not so
attractive to those who want charters
that will permit of ton
and of schemes that will not bear a
| close examination, would there be Il
falling off in the amount of the fees now
| collected for charters, and would the
amount of taxes received by the state
from corporations be less? An an
swer to these questions might explain
why two leading officials of the state
express the opinion that there is no
need for reform.
1t is because New Jerseys laws for
corporations are so liberal that pro-
motors go to that state for charters
for their companies. Delaware's laws
are almost, If not quite, as liberal, but
for some reason or other charter seek
ers have not awaited themselves of
them, but If New Jersey should make
her laws more strict Delaware might
get a great deal of the business that
now goes to the former.
1t is probable that this matter OF
reforming the states corporation laws
will come up for consideration at the
next session of the Legislature. Pub
lie sentiment in the state seems rips
for a change. 1t is known pretty well
what amount the state would likely
lose in revenues if the laws We're made
more strict, but the prospect of slight

the state shouldn't be "a party TO char

tend to deal honestly with the pub
lie.

The lynching of George White near
Wilmington, Del, is almost ancient
history. The matter has been con-
doned by the grand jury and the
courts; and yet we hear that the New
Castle Presbytery is just about to try
the Rev. r. A. Elwood on the charge
of preaching a sensational sermon in
connection with the lynching. Mr.. Ell
wood, it will be remembered, said in
a sermon that the lynching was justi-
fable. Next month, or the month after,
the presbytery will take him to task
for having said it.

there is a movement in the United

thing. Swearing is useless. and the

these violent explosives, calculated to
overawe and strike terror to the heart,
the vocabulary is full of such ejacula-
tons as "Prunes!" Sweet sugar!"

AN EXHIBITION OF sNOBBIsHNEss

Barnum's circus never created more
stir in New York than the Goelet-
Roxburghe wedding. According to the
dispatches people crowded and even
fought for positions from which it
might be possible to catch a glimpse
of the bride as she passed to or from
the ceremony. The women seemed the
| most anxious to get momentary view
of the bride. Some of them crawled
through coal holes and suffered other
| discomforts for the doubtful satisfac-
tion of a peep at the party. What is
the reason for all of this abnormal
curiosity? Are the people of New York
| becoming inordinately snobbish, so
| that they will fight and claw each other
| for the privilege of seeing a millionaire
bride married to a member of the Brit
| ish aristocracy? Was it the fact that
Miss Goelet had fifteen trunks full
of hats, valued at 100000 and we'd
ding gown worth 100000, that made the
people wild to see her? Was it be-
| cause she is one of the richest wom-
| en- in the world in her own right and
! was about TO be married to a blue blood
of Europe that caused the crush in
| Fifth avenue? We fear that is about
| all there was at the bottom of the
! excitement. Neither the groom nor his
bride has achieved any right to dis
| tinction, aside from accident of birth
on one. side and the possession of
many millions on the other. And yet
their welding was the most distin-
guished international marriage" for a
! long time. IL the bride and the bride
groom are normal and well-balanced
! persons, which it is reasonable to as
sumo they are, the sycophancy of the
! New York crowd must have been moth

immigration Commissioner Williams
at New York receives many letters
from housewives asking to be supplied
with servant girls and other help. He
is not running an employment bureau,
of course, and cannot undertake to
supply domestic servants. Some of
the letters to him are from the South.
A New York paper says he sends to
the writer's of them stereotype re-
ply which reads about as follows: 1T
would be impossible for us to furnish
the help you ask for in your letter.
Immigrants do not care to settle in
any Of the Southern States or go far
away. This, it seems to us is
a gratuitous and prejudicial express
sion on the part of the commissioner.
By what right does he assume to de-
eide that the immigrants do not care
to settle in the South? Many of them
might care to come South if their
minds were not poisoned against the
section at the port of entry.

A VITAL DIFFERENCE.

When caught in heavy gales

often used cod liver oil to break
the force of the waves. They do
this by squeezing the cod livers
over the raging water. For this
purpose the oil in its natural
state is perfectly adapted. But
when you come to think of it
as a remedy for consumption and
other wasting complaints it is
quite different matter. To eat
fat does not Prevent the loss of
fat, or flesh; much less does 1t
put flesh on. That is why there
is no foundation whatever for
the faith some badly Informed
persons have in plain cod liver
oil as a remedy. Any starchy
food, such as rice, is more fat
tening than any oil, but all star
chy foods are horribly indigesti-

oil; and good digestion is of all
things necessary to invalids. On
the other hand pure cod liver
oil contains medicinal principles
of high order, but to be of
use to the sick they must first
be extracted from the abomi-
nable grease and scientifically
blended with other curative and
nutrient substances of equal
value. This has always been
successfully accomplished in
