Washington, Nov. 20.-Mr. Gros-
venor, of Ohio in regard to the Cuban
bill said he regretted that there had
been no discussion on the other side OF

tion, and in this connection he said
the position of the administration was
unassailable and would rebound to the
glory Of the American people.
Mr.. Grosvenor said he would not
permit his vote on this question to be
challenged as affecting his attitude on
the dominant question of protection to
American industries. Speaking Of
tariff reforms, he said the Republicans
would revise the schedules when they
got ready to do 90. and In their own
way. without sny aid from the OPP

The Standard Oil Co. in India.

Information from private sources in India
states that there exists strong disincination on
the part of the British administration in that
country to permit Americans to take part in the
development of its resources. A short time ago
the local government Of British Burma refused
concession to the Standard Oil Company for
the working of the oil deposits n Burma, and
was upheld by the British Indian Administra-
said to have been made by the official representa-
tive of the American company to interview the
Governor General on the subject came to moth
ing, Lord Curzon refusing to see him. The
Anglo-Indian press in general approves Of the
Governor Generals action and of the exclusion
of Americans from participating in the develop
ment of Indias natural wealth.
The Standard Oil Company appears t. have
been so sure of its right to go into business in
Burma under the existing commercial treaties
between England and this country that it bought
land in Rangoon and made the necessary pre-
parations for erecting refinery. This is shown
by correspondence that passed between the agent
Of the Standard Oil Company and the BENGAL
Chamber of Commerce. When application was
made according to requirement for license to be-
gin operations, the Burma Government replied
that the matter was one requiring the assent of
the Government of India. The decision of that
Government having been adverse, the whole
question was submitted to the British Govern
ment through the American Embassy in Lon
don.
The only reason given for the acton of the
Indian Government was that it is "undesirable
for an. American company or a subsidiary con-
pany to gain footing in India" Anglo Indian
opinion is said to indorse the attitude both of
the Indian Government and the Viceroy, and
one of its principle organs, commenting on the
matter, says that very important principles are
at stake. "Americans," it SAYS, "may conscien-
tiously believe that their commercial treaties
with England give them a right to exploit any
British dependency, but it is impossible for us
in India to overlook the fact that this country
has now arrived at stage when it can formu
late its own opinions as to the privileges foreign
ers shall or shall not possess"
There the matter stands for the present

New Heloise," in memory of Rousseau's "Nou-

French monastery life which Rousseau might
have found to his taste. 1t is an idyl of provin-

Our Trip to Milwaukee.

On Christmas day we left Snyder county fol
a trip to Chicago and Milwaukee. Owing to 8
wreck East of Kreamer the train was 3 or
hours late Through the kindness of A. c
Smith, agent at Kreamer the Pullman section O
St. Louis and Chicago express was stopped a
Lewistown junction. At Lewistown Junction
we met VIM. Schnure of Selinsgrove, who wa
on his way 10 Pittsburg. The train was an houl
and forty minutes late, leaving the junction
about 1880 p. M. We discovered that thu
passengers had nearly all retired and the Pull
man Conductor was celebrating Christmas in tn,
usual bar room style. 1t is certainly very
dangerous practice to allow Pullman Conduc-
tor or any one else in charge of a railroad train
who is not absolutely sober.
We arose next morning near Crestline, o.
and discovered that our train was p hours late
but as fortunate recompense to tedious days
ride, we found among the occupants of the cal
Major John n. Wood of the u. S. Marines, a
Colonel Of the Commission department of the Q.
S. Army and a young lady, a well known ma
gazine writer all on their way to San Francisco
and thence to Manila. Among the other pas.
sengers was congressman from Minnesota and
Col. Barneson, of San Francisco, the owner of a
number of Vessels running from San Francisco
a.is-14 ellpines vic of Hnnolnln.
We arrived at Chicago P. NJ. Friday, 8
hours late. Snow and sleet fall all day during
our trip across Ohlo Indiana and Illinois, bu,
the cool and piercing breezes from Lake Michi
gan made our brief stay in Chicago very chilly
experience, though the residents of that CITY did
not seem to feel any discomfort therefrom.
Saturday morning, having made a few hu,i-
ness calls, at 1l:30 we boarded the c.. M. d St.
Paul train for Milwaukee, the objective point OF
our trip. Milwaukee is beautiful city OF 2S5.-
600 people, situated on the western shore Of
Lake Michigan, 50 miles north of Chicago. #

Texas LETTER.
CHILLICoTHr, TEX, April 26, 19(

CHILLICoTHf, lex, April 26, 1905.
Editor KkMPER HERALD:
believe l have about recov-
cred from the scrubbir' that Col.
Bill Webb gave me in his reply
to .ny letter in the HERALD, so I
will venture a little further.
First, [ want 10 know what
Bill Webb has done in the past
twelve months that has entitled
him to be called Colonel
Twelve months ago he was won
dering what his brother George
, had done that entitled him to
the honor eft that appellation.
Now what has Bill done? / see
he mas the same honorary title.
| fully agree with Col. Bill
Webb when he says that KEN
iper has turned out some OF the
brainiest and best looking people
that our country affords, for /
am from Kemper myself and
Mrs. Henderson is a full -blooded
Kemperite; and | am not by my
selfsswhen say she is good look
ing-and as iurther evidence we
have some good-looking chill
dren.
Next, [ would like to know
what advantages Col. Webb
claims for a poor man in KEN
per over the rest OF the world.
Let's reason the matter a little.
What can the poor man do there?
lie can work tor wages at $40 a
month, but l~, has got to be
hustler to get that; or he can
work on halves. How much
crop can he work? Fifteen acres
is good crop, all in cotton
Next, what will that make? Say
eight bales at $4,000 per bale,
including seed-his half $160.
F. Now l know a man that lives
within one quarter OF a mile of
me who has broken and planted
seventy-fve acres himself-fitty
acres in cotton and twenty five
in Kaffir corn, and worked forty
days at $1.00 per day Tor another
man, since the first day OF Janu-
ary. Now allowing that his land
makes about the. samesper acre
as that in Kentper, ssthat makes
about twenty five bales OF cotton
Ito say nothing OF his Katfir
corn. This man claims that $50
will pay tor the chopping aot his
cotton, aud he can do the rest OF
the ;cultivating himselt--and his
.Katir corn will more than pay
that $40 Now he gets thirteen
bales OF cotton to his share
$500. And here the extra eigh-
teen bales picked at $40 perbale.,
$50; deduct that from $500,
leaves S340, $50 more. than the
Kemper mans entire crop. And
1 know that the worK OF making |!
the crop here is nothing like as-l
bard as in Kemper, for the plow. .
ing is all done with riding plows.
For tear OF the waste. basket,
or that Col. Webb will get all
the hide next time, / will close
with best wishes tor the HERALD
aud all old Kemper friends.
! Yours truly.

GEN. J.. ii. SHARP's ADDRESS.


CoLrMBus. Miss., April so, 1903.
To the Voters of Mississippi:
am u candidate tor State
Treasurer at the August pri-
mary. -
What may be my views upon
questions OF State policy, :ur-
ther than that / am in accord
with my party, is a matter OF no
concern. Your Treasurer will
have no laws to enact; he will
have no laws to construe; no
laws to enforce. His duty will
be to keep himself honest and
not steal your money; to exer-
else Judgment in selecting assist
ants who are best qualified and
who will neither steal nor mis-
appropriate your money.
When partial friends first sug
gested that / be a candidate, the
Hon. Clay Sharkey, Representa-.
tive from Kinds and always in
teresred in what concerns a Con-
federate conrade or Confederate
memories, wrote me:
81 see YOU are being mentioned
as candidate for State Treas
urer. l hope you will consent
to become "a candidate. The only
pre- reqaisite' for the office you
possess in the highest degree
that is honesty. The office is !,
sinecure and should be given to
some man who has rendered the
State distinguished service. he,
garding you as one OF our bravest
soldiers in war and best citizens
III peace, give you carte blanche
to draw on me tor any service
to that end"
Your support, fellow.citizens,
as an approval OF this expression,
would. be indeed a compliment
and would inspire me to renewed
conservation 20 the service of the
people of Mississippi.
When Misslssippi first needed
my services, she called me from
the quiet pursuits of y farmer to
the camp OF the soldier. So un-
learned was l that I did not
know the difference between
"right-shoulder shift and "or.
der arms" For tour years wher-
ever the Confederate hag tioated
was my home. ~
My reputation is in the keep
ing OF my comrades. Returning
to my farmer lite, Mississippi
again called nae to co operate
with George, Walthall, Feather
stone, Barksdale, Stone, Tucker
and all good citizens to drive out
the carpet baggers who were
robbing her people OF the little
lett from desolating war.
-Four times l have been called
by my county people to. serve
them in the Legislature. 1 do
not claim to be one OF Mississ-
ippi's great citizens, but I do
claim to be one OF her good citi-
zens, who, like thousands of
yourselves, has evergiven to her
my best services.
For the favorable reception of
my candidacy / return grateful
thanks.a Ny old comrades are
answering to roll call all along
the line and the young men are
bearing to rne tokens OF. aztec
ton, showing that gratitude is
not dead nor love a dream.
Respectfully,
j. I'll. SHARP. ,
