SHAW AND CUMMINS.

presents the most vigorous opposition to

edged leader of the Iowa. demand for
revision
In support of Iowa's claim, it is urged
that Roosevelt is certain of renomina-

ship and rock-ribbed Republicanism OF
scene of a tariff debate the past year
which has given it a peculiar relation

Gov Cummins' friends say he was
forced into the race because Shaw pIo-
posed to run. and. under cover of state
pride IN his candidacy, to restore tbs
political machine of which he was head
when governor For eight years these
two men have opposed each other. Mr.
Shaw frankly tells his Iowa friends that
If they will stand by him, he believes he
can win the presidency in 1903. That
is his goal Likewise It is the end
sought for for Cummins.
Either Shaw or Cumnins viii be pre-
scented by Iowa for the presidential
nomination in 1908. from present indi-
cations. The vice presidential contest Of
1904 will be only a warming-uD heat.
Mr. Shaw calculates-s0 says his con-
fldantes-that he will control the state
in 1904 and re-establish his regency. If
named for vice president, well enough;
If he fails, ne will at least be in control,
will dictate the gubernatorial renoni-
nation in 1906 to succeed Cummins, ana
will get the senatorship if there is a
vacancy meantime By 1903 he will be
in control. and will take Iowa's dele
cation to a national convention
So much for the Shaw plans. But
CuMmins hopes to do exactly the same
things. He will be governor till the end
Of 1905, unless he wins the vice presi-
dency in 1904, or there should be a sena-
tortal vacancy, to which he could be
elected. AS either vice president or
senator he will be in excellent position
to ask the states support for president

A Little Girl Who Wanted to Hear
Her Sing.

Nine. Patti, whose one appearance on

Of the occasion when her audience was
the smallest on record, consisting as it
did of only one person. The lucky in
dividual was child During tour
some years ago iE America Nine. Patti
was unable to sing at one of the con-
certs; the bad weather kept her in
doors.
While she was quietly resting in her
hotel. she heard a child crying. and go
ing into the room where the child was,
Nine. Patti found that the little one was
in trouble because her mother had gone
to hear Nine. Patti sing. She had want
ed to go, but was not well enough to
be allowed out of doors.
Nine. Patti tried to console the child,
and at last said she would sing to her.
The child did not accept the offer very
readily; she said she wanted to her
Nine Patti singl However, before the
first song was finished, the child had
recognized the great singer, and when
the little impromptu concert was over,
the audience was supremely happy

COLD IN CUBA.
Havana shivers at Fifty-eight De
grees Above Zero.


grees Above Zero.
The holidays have come and gone, and
in the gay world they have been very
gay, indeed. says a correspondent in the
hiladelphia Ledger. The cold weather
arrived just in time to make 1t seem
more like Christmas time. 1t have eX-
perienced Yuletides in the north which
were warmer than the one just passed in
Havana. Only once In a long time doeE
the temperature fall as low as it has
been during the past ten days; IS de-
grees is frigid here, and we have been
down into cedar chests to bring out
heavy f7annels and other warm clothing.
Even then we had trouble in keeping
warm. On the streets men wore heavy
overcoats and women handsome tailor
gowns imported from abroad. Or. if
they had not these, they wore the warm
est they had. Poor people, who have
no heavy clothing, wrapped themselves
in their bed clothing, comforts, blank
cts etc. They looked very odd in this
attire, and were seen by the hundreds.
Gunny sacks, too, were called into ser
vice. When it rains poor men who drive
carts usually put these over their heads
and shoulders.
Cuban houses are not built with a
view to cold weather, and consequently
have no arrangements for warmth so
when the temperature falls people sit
about their houses and shiyer with cold.
Some foreigners have small oil stoves
which they press into service: others
light all of the lamps they have. IN
less artificial light is used the house is
in darkness when shutters are closed
to keep out cold air. Glass windows are
few and far between, confined for the
most part to shop windows
Theaters are heated no more than
houses; all thought concerning their
temperature has been as to the manner
in which they can be kept cool. This
cold snap forced the women attending
the opera to keep their wraps about
them, and hide the exquisite gowns
made for the opera season.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COZ

In answer to the question where does
the money go, when these unsccount-
able stringencies occur in money CEN
tiers, Boston writer in the Wall Street
Journal makes the following statement.
He says:
Money, once in circulation, disap-
pears in four ways. 1t may go into the
pockets of the people. 1t may be de-
posted in the vaults of the banks. 1t
may be drawn into the Golfers Of the
United States treasury 1t may 60 into
hiding. What is the situation in this
country just now? Certainly no money
is going into hiding. With every do
lar as valuable as other dollars, and
with money in demand at interest rates,
there is no excuse for a single dollar
going into hiding. The United States
treasury is absorbing less than year
ago. 1t has been making extensive
bond purchases and stretching point
to increase its deposits with the banks
without requiring government bond
securities. The banks are holding less
money in reserve than at this time last
year. If the money is not in hiding,
is not in the United States treasury and
is not in the banks, it must be in the
pockets of the people. Here, then, is
the answer to the question where the
money has gone. The natural conclu-
sion is that the citizens Of the United
States, being buster and more prosper
Gus than ever before, require more &C.
tual cash for hand to hand use than
ever before.
"This is the general aspect of the sit
uation. Seeking more particularly a
reason for the falling off OF reserves and
cheap money in the east, other iEflu-
ences are found. The western farmers
have paid off their mortgaged indebted
ness to the east, and are now using
their surplus earnings in buying more
land, improving their farms and ex-
pandlng their scale of operations The
growth of western manufacturing and
business requires the western banks tc
keep more currency on hand to make
the exchanges of their customers. Ir
its new and expanded prosperity the
west finds reason to keep its OWL
money at home, where it can be used t.
better advantage than by sending i
down east for investment.
The situation is gratifying one, 81
far as the west is concerned, and thu
east should have no complaint, though
the eastern spectators who have beer
depending on the western money at Low
rates as basis for their operations ma,

HEpBURN's LIQUOR BILL.

Congressman Hepburn's liquor bill
has passed the house. 1t provides that
all fermented or distilled liquors trans
ported to any state or remaining therein
for use or sale, shall, upon arrival
within the boundary of the state before
and after delivery, be subject to the
laws of such states for the exercise OF
police powers to the same extent as
though said liquors had been produced
in the state, and shall not be exempt
therefrom by reason of being introduced
in original packages. All corporations
or persons engaged in interstate COM
merce shall in handling liquors be sub
iect to all laws and police regulations of
the state in which the place of destina-
ton is situated, and shall not be
exempt on account of original packages.
1t is to be hoped that the senate will
promptly pass the measure and thus
help solve the difficulty of keeping the
whiskey devils out of prohibition terri
tory.
