AN IRATE SENATOR.

Senator Morgan of Alabama has HI d
admirers outside of his party and be-
yond the section of country from
which he halls. Through him the ma
tional spirit has been often vigorously
expressed, and in him national prog
ress and development has stout
champion. He has been stanch sup
porter of the inter- oceanic canal
scheme but became welded to the
Nicaraguan route, so strongly . that
when the course of events and the re-
suit of negotiations placed the Pan
anna route within the reach of the
government, he could motor would
not-abandon his support of the for
meT route, and patriotic purpose to
serve the country has been turned to Bit
terness and gall by the circumstance
that the Panama route has been pre-
ferred to the route of his choice.
Out of this bitterness grew this
scene, IN the Senate. When pressed
in a recent executive session, to per-
init date to be set for vote on the
Panama canal treaty Mr.. Morgan flew
into rage After he had refused to
permit vote on any day during the
remainder of the session, Senator Cul.
lom charged the Alabama Senator
with talking against time with the
purpose of defeating the treaty.
"That is as false as though it had
come from the mouth of an imp in
hell" shouted Mr.. Morgan, II do
not take orders from the Senator from
Illinois. When l want somebody to
act as my captain | will get man
with more mental calibre and broader
mind" continued the outraged Sem
ator, to the amazement Of his col
leagues. MI. Cullom permitted the
Alabamian to spend his wrath, with
remarkable composure and then de-
clared that those charged with seeing
the treaty succeed proposed that ratifi-
cation follow

Sunday the manufacturers of Montpe-

THE PRESIDENCY.

The next national canvass is loom
ing big on the political horizon.
Next year the quadrennial contest for
the pre- ;idency of the nation will be
on again. During President Roose-
welt S late visit to New York, attend
ing the John Wesley anniversary, his
time was not wholly occupied in do
ing honor to the memory of the great
apostle of Mevhodism Conferences
with party leaders are reported and as
a result interesting gossip respecting
the national Republican nomination is
going out to the country. The Presi-
dent S friends say that he will be
nominated next year by the almost
unanimous vote of the convention
and that Senator Beveridge will &C.
cupy the second place on the ticket
They say this il an age Of young men
and with President at forty-fiv and
vice president but four years his
junior the spirit of the age will be
personified in the Republican ticket.
1t is further stated that during the
campaign Mr.. Roosevelt will remain
in the White House while Senator
Beverage, who is an orator of re-
nown, will stump the West in the
interest of the ticket. According to
these reports Mr.. Beverage is very
popular in the West and the Presi-
dent $ popularity in that section is
we'll known, while his hold on New
York State is continually growing
stronger.

Editor John son of the Randolph
Herald gives his people such super
ior paper every week in the year that
when an extraordinary occasion arises
he has to do something a little above
the limit in order to emphasize it.
The dedication of the Kimball library
building at Randolph last week was
such an occasion and the Herald is
sued as supplement a twenty four
page illustrated pamphlet, giving a
full description of the building and a
complete report of che dedicatory ex-
ercises.

Newport comes to the front with
two claims for distinctiOn-one that
her poor farm is conducted in such a
manner as to make it the only institu-
ton of the kind in the State, so far
as reported, that has any excuse for
existing-and the other that certain
druggist in that village stands second
on the list of Coca Cola" dispensers
in New England outside of Massachu-
setts, selling two gallons to every one
sold by any one else in the State of
Vermont. The first claim is valid
one and the fact that Viewpoints town
farm is so profitable that its revenues
support the poor of the town without
additional cost to the taxpayers ought
to furnish valuable suggestions to al
most every board of selectmen or
oyerseer of the poor in the State. The
second is hardly as commendable, how
ever. Perhaps the story has not been
published before, but nevertheless it is
fact that the COCOA Cola" habit has
become so firmly fixed upon Newport
that the amount of the stuff consumed
there is marvel to the drug trade in
Vermont. Perhaps the drink named
is entirely harmless but from New
ports experience it seems to be one of
the kind that has habit fixing propen-
stiles, and it is hardly to the credit of
any village to be counted as big mar
ket for a cheap concoction of drugs.
1t has been suggested that the popu-
larity of Coca Cola" in Newport is
the result of the prohibitory law, and
as the Orleans county metropolis is
sure to vote againt license the drug
gists will doubtless continue to reap a
harvest as is the past. What beer is
to Cincinnati, Cocoa Cola" is to
Newport, and it would be hard to
determine to which one the greater
| honor is due.

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
A Disinterested View Of the Islands
Prosperity Under Our Rule.

From l. Economists Francois
The two principal articles Of expectation
| in Porto Rico, sugar and tobacco, have in
creased from n, $50, GOO francs and g. 161 800
| francs in 1901 to 81 $4,000 francs and TO-
$4,000 francs the year following. The ex-
ports of cigarettes and of leaf tobacco
have diminished, but the diminution Is of
| little importance compared to the much
higher value of cigars.
The sugar cane plantations which the en-
ployment Of modern methods are increas-
ing. facilitated as they are by the creation
of central factories one of which has re-
Gently been started at Guanica. Notwith-
standing the advances made, there still
remains much to be done.
Coffee culture is extending rapidly. The
product of the present year amounts to
$4,000 bags. During the last ten years
$500 acres have been devoted to orange
plantations. They plant about seventy
trees to the acre, which yield in five years
about 80 900 oranges, which usually
sold at the wharfs at the rate of five francs
a hundred, and this gives a profit Of l $50
francs to the acre.
The expectation Of cotton reached 1000
bales in 1868. About 100000 acres will soon
be set apart for cotton plantations.
Many mining concessions have been
granted since the annexation of the island
to the United States, but none, so far. has
been worked with energy. Gold, silver.
iron, copper and bismuth exist in the Is
land, and also immense beds of tin, mer-
| curry, Ignite, yellow amber and nickel, with
| out speaking of the lead mines
The construction of railroads Is going on
| rapidly. The entire system, 1t is expected.
| Will be completed in less than three years.
| The French line. reorganized under the
| name of the american Railroad Company
| of Porto Rico" has obtained new conces-
| sion. 1t is now occupied in finishing the
! network of railroads in the island. An cleo
| trio tramway has been started at Ponce.
| Another line connects Bayamon with San
| Juan, and 1t will soon be linked to a steam
boat line to Ponce.

Autos In the Arctics.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


The papers have discovered another Won
der. An American automobile has. crossed
the Arctic circle in Sweden. Nothing has
been done like this since the world began
The American flag waves within 1000 miles
of the North Pole. and the eagle Of free
dom shrieks as he scars above the Swedish
f1shhawk. 1t is great deed-a brave deed
1t will live in history. But as soon as we
have Gained down little, we will consider
that there Is no reason why the automobile
should not have crossed the Arctic circle.
There are none of the icebergs or frozen
mountains that the papers allege. There
are roads and railroads running beyond the
circle. and you can ride to Gelivara In a
sleeping car If your automobile breaks
down. And when you have gone long
way beyond you will come to the In
teresting town of Hammerfest, with shops,
bank, club hotel. its hot summer day which
1t Is undergoing just now, and It's mild
winter nights, when fishing is carried on
Let us remember that during the Arctic
summer there Is no reason why the gaso-
line should freeze. 1t Is likely that the
travellers are suffering from mosquito bites
but quite sure that they are not suffering
from frost bites. Yes. It's quite a remark
able thing that an automobile should be
run over the wagon roads Of Sweden, but
let us not lose our heads in contemplation
of this feat.
