CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Star (Rep.) says:
But business is business. The South
wants 10 win, and if Judge Parkers
friends can convince her that his
strength is such in the East as to
make Democratic success with him
as the candidate promising in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, she
viii support him for the nomination
with his temperature at zero"
The Mobile (Ala) Register Dem.)
says; THE state convict system, so
much of it as relates to the hiring Of
convicts is the parent of peonage prac-
tees. 1t affords an opportunity for
abuses, and, so long as there is money
TO be made, men will be found who
will seize the opportunity. Let the
state assume charge of all convicts,
of whatever character, and work them
upon some uniform and humane basis,
and we get rid of many Objectionable
features, and with peonage along with
the rest"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Gnd.) says: The serious sickness of
Gen. Longstreet is calling out forgiv-
ing remarks from Southern newspapers
on his desertion to the Republican
party soon after the war 1t is re.
called, by way of example, that JEFF
fersOn Davis publicly embraced Long
street at the Atlanta reception to Da-
Wis years ago, and when asked after
ward how he could have received the
general so effusively, replied: When
he came on the platform in his Con-
federate gray uniform, / saw only the
hero of Frazier's farm and fell into the
once heroic arms of a great soldier "
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1T has been thought worth while
TO send out special newspaper dis.
patches to the effect that the visit of
Judge Alton b. Parker of New York
to George was a political failure. A
reason assigned for the failure is in
the icy demeanor of the distinguished
judge, which could not be thawed.

mistaking the. evidences of the strong

How John burroughs Got His job

How John Burroughs Got His Job.
Early in the sixties, says the Satur-
day Evening Post, when Hugh McCul-
loch had just been appointed con-
troller of the currency to organize the
new department under the provisions
of the national bank act, there walked
into his Office, unannounced, one day,
stranger dressed in store clothes"
and wearing long hair.
MY name is Burroughs-John Bur-
roughs,' said the visitor. Il should
like to have a position in your depart
ment."
What do you know about bank
ing?" asked the controller, thinking
that perhaps in the unique stranger
might be discovered some genius of an
actuary or accountant.
"Unhappily, nothing" replied the ap-
plicant.
Who sent you here?"
mo one"
well, who's your congressman; to
whom can you refer me-"
Il know no congressman"
And you expected to get a govern
ment position without qualification for
the position and without Endorsement
or backing of any character"
Il think | could learn office work here
y
to me in my literary career"
on, you're a writer, are you?
What's your line? Poetry, perhaps %
Il try to write poetry" confessed the
visitor.
Got any of it with you?" asked the
controller, now considerably amused.
IF so, let's see it,"
The poet-naturalist produced a song.
redolent of early spring 1t treated of
the chewink, the oven bird and the
Carolina wren, with a dainty reference
to forest violets and hepatica.
This is great commented the con-
troller; 'it's right out of the woods"
(which is more than can be said of
the author" observed Mr.. Burroughs,
thinking of the world of finance which
he was seeking to invade
The controller laughed. And is this
all you have in the way of creden-
tials?"
Il have some more poems at home"
was the bland and sincere reply.
In much merriment the controller
summoned an assistant Here's the

COLOMBIA WANTS MORE MONEY,

In all the talk in which Colombians
have INDUCED in regard to the Pana-
ma canal treaty the one fact that
stands out clearly is that Colombia,
knowing that the United States are
rich, wants more money for the canal
concessions which are made in the
Panama canal treaty-the treaty which
the Colombian Congress, now in ses-
sion. is expected to ratify. Senior Valez,
a member of the Colombian Congress,
is in Washington for the purpose
of comforting with Colombia's diplo-
matte representative, DR.. Herran, with
the view of finding out what chance
there is to have the treaty amended,
allowing Colombia more money. The
amount which she is to be paid for the
concessions in the event the trade IS
made is $1O,O0O,0O0
The point that Senior Valez makes
is that Colombia now gets $250,000
year from the Panama Railroad and
she is to get no more from the United
States on behalf of the canal. The
canal, he says, will come into the pos
session of Colombia, if the French
company fails to complete its contract,
and the indications are that it will
fail The canal, in it's present condi-
ton, is worth a great deal more than
the amount which Colombia is to get
from the United States, with the ex-
ception, of course, of the annual pay
ment.
Senior Valez's idea seems to be that
Colombia ought to get practically the
value of the canal property, the prop
erty for which the United States are
to pay the French company $40,O00,O0O.
1t is true, of course, that the Pana-
ma canal property is worth a great
deal of money. but not to Colombia. 1t
is worth ii only to the United States,
because they alone are likely to make
use of it. If the French company
should forfeit it's rights and the prop
erty should fall back to Colombia, it
would be worth nothing to her, unless
she could find a customer for it, and
that she would hardly be able to do
The United States are not going to
wait two years to see whether or not
the French company forfeits its con-
cessions. If they cannot get the Pan
anna canal property now they will un-
dertake to build a canal on the Mica
ragua route.
The fact is, the United States have
agreed to pay Colombia big price for
such concessions as they want. 1t
looks as if Colombia would have to
accept that price or run the risk of
getting nothing. 1t is quite certain
that If the United States do not build
the Panama canal the canal viii not
be built at all.

why KipIing Kept Mum.

Since the death of Mai. Pond a let
ter from Rudyard KipIing has been
brought to light in which the secret
of the authors unwillingness to appear
on the lecture platform is made known,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The letter is interesting because
characteristic of Mr.. Kipling, and be-
cause 1t is known that he has refused
many offers to appear before the pub
lie.
Maj. Ponds last negotiations with
Mr.. Kiplng were in 1895, and after
some consideration the writer replied
There is such thing as paying 1875
cents for 81, and, though 1 suppose
there is money in the lecturing bust
ness, it seems to me the bother, the
fuss, the being at everybody's beck
and call, the night journeys, and so on,
make it very dear.
I've seen a few men Who'Ve been
through the fight, but they did not
look happy. l might do it as soon as L
had two mortgages on my house, a lien
on the horses, and bill of sale on the
furniture and writer's cramp in both
hands, but at present Pm busy and
contented to go on with the regular
writing business.
You forget that l have already wan
dered over most of the states, and
there isn't enough money in sight to
hire me to face again some of the ho-
tells and some of the railway systems
1 have met with. America is a great
country, but it is not made for lectur-
ing in"
1t is. of course, Mr.. Kipling's con-
Germ whether or not he appeared as
lecturer, but his view of the business
of featuring is a small one for a large
man.

SECRETARY ROOFS SUCCESSOR,

1t is now said that Mr.. Root, Secre-
tary of War. will resign before the end
of this year to return to his law prac-
tice in New York, and that he will be
succeeded by Gen. Robert Shaw OIL
yer, the new assistant secretary of
war. In fact, it is asserted that the
reason that Gen. Oliver was appointed
with the duties which devoive upon
the head of the War Department. Mr..
Root goes to Europe about Aug. 90 and
will not return until the middle of Oc-
tober, when he will devote himself TO
the preparation of his annual report
The report, it is said will be his last
communication to Congress. Every
few days there appears in the public
prints a statement that some one or
other of President Roosevelts cabinet
officers intends to resign. One day it
is Secretary Hay, another it is Post
master General Payne and now it Is
Secretary Root. 1t would not be sur
prising, however, if there were foun-
dation for the report that Mr. Root is
to retire. 1t is known that he prefers
his law practice to his present posi-
ton. AS lawyer his earning capac-
ity is said to be fully $4,000 a year,
while his compensation as the head of
the War Department is only 81, 5000.
Still, of course. the honor of being at
the head of one of the great depart
p1apfs NJ tho vovarpp,apf is - INa +ol.
en- into account.
Some important changes have been
made in army matters since Mr.. Root
became Secretary of War. The gem
eral staff has been formed, military
schools have been established at Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and an
army war college in Washington. 1t
is stated that MIR. Root would retire
at once if it were not for the fact that
he is member of the Alaskan Boun-
dairy Commission, and the President
desired that he should remain in the
cabinet while a member Of that COM
mission.
1t is the understanding that Mr..
Root IS one of the Presidents most
trusted advisers. That being the case
he will regret losing him. Mr.. Root
is man of force and ability. 1t is
probable that on more than one occa-
sion his advice has prevented the Pres
ident from doing something that would
have been a cause of annoyance to the
administration. He will have the sat
isfaction of having left the impress Of
his work upon the army

And the heavenly inspectors separate

johnny Barry. the son-in-law and
successor of BILLY" Florence, who. for
many years kept the road house at the
southern terminus of Macomb's Dam
bridge. in New York, was called upon
the other day to testify in relation
to a contract wherein the question
involved was the number of cubic
yards handled in some rock removing
and the filling i'm of depressed lots in
the vicinity, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. Upon the stand he seemed to
know very little about the matter and
his idea of a cubic yard was SO very
vague that it was suspected he hardly
cOmprehended the term. In order to
facilitate his comprehension the Judge
said:
Now, look here, witness. Assume
this inkstand to be three feet across
the top this way, and three feet this
way. and three feet in hight what
should you call it?"
Johnny puzzled while and replied:
Il should call it a very large ink
stand"
