Padere1vski Advised.

1t is said that Paderewski, the great
pianist, takes an especial delight in
telling the following story against
himself:
Curiously enough, his first introduce
ton to London society conceded with
the sudden popularity of a certain
song, which, just for the moment. we
will keep dark
The great man heard this tune every
where. The organs played it in the
streets so did the bands, German as
we'll as English, and everybody whis-
tied it who could master that accom-
plishment.
1t seemed to Paderewski that people
TOOK furtive delight in whistling it
at his approach, and to connect it in
some way with his personality.
The strange thing was that he failed
TO learn the name of the tune. If he
asked anybody what it was they po-
hteiy changed the subject, nor could
ne bring the conversation back to if
1t became so overpowering familiar
at last-for he could not turn without
his ears being smitten by it-that ne
finally cornered a small boy who had
Whistled the perpetual harmony in
front Of him in the street.
What is the name of that tune which
you are whistling?" he asked the
urchin
"G'arn!'' said the boy, whore yer
gittin' at?"
Tell me the name of the tune" per-
sisted Paderewsl<i, and you shall have
this sixpence."
He produced the money as an earn
est. The boy took it and pocketed it.
Il s'pose you're kiddin me about

CUBAN TRADE.

Statistics show that there has been
a steady decline in the trade between
Cuba and the United States during the
past four years. In 1899 the United
States exported to the island articles of
merchandise to the value of a little
more than $29. 100000. while in 1902 our
expectations had dropped to little
more than $4,000, 900, and the indica-
lions are that Cuba will take from us
during the current year still less goods.
During the same period of time Euro
pean exports to the island increased, in
just about the proportion that Amerl-
can exports have fallen Off.
What Is the cause of it? Opponents
Of Cuban reciprocity In this country
try to find in it an argument against
extending to Cuba any trade favors in
the way of tariff concessions. They
say that the Cubans are bitterly hos
tile to us and trade in Europe on that
account, whereas they should be deep
ly grateful and give us their trade for
our services in freeing them from the
yoke of Spain. Whats the use Of
bothering with these people, they say;
they are ingrates. We spilled blood
and spent treasure for them, but they
do not appreciate our actions. They
hate us. and will continue to hate us.
Therefore, let US make them no con-
cessions, which at best would tend to
injure certain of our own interests.
on the other side. those who are fav-
orable to reciprocity see in the declin-
ing trade a strong reason why the
United States should deal literally with
Cuba, fulfilling to the letter all prom
Uses, direct and implied. in the matter
of concessions in trade.
The fact seems to be that we have
been depending too much on sentiment
TO bring us the Cuban business; we
have not gone about securing the trade
in a business-like way. Europe was
Cuba's market for hundreds Of years
before Cuban independence. Trade re-
latlons had been established. and Eu-
ropean merchants had faminarized
themselves with Cuban wants in man
ufactures II is not reasonable TO sup
pose that these relations. the work OF
centuries would be swept aside for no
other reason than that the United
States took cuba'a part IN the fight

TOO MANY LOCAL BILLS.

Many times we have urged upon the
Legislature the fact that too much OF
its time is occupied with purely local
measures. A great majority of the
bills introduced deal with matters that
could be attended to much more salts
factoriiy by county commissioners or
municipal councils. A few general
laws comforting authority upon the
commissioners of counties and city
councils to enact laws and regulations
in minor matters as their respective
counties and cities might need would
result in saving money to the people,
providing better local laws and reliev-
ing the Legislature of a class of legis-
lation of which it Knows comparative
ly nothing and in which it takes very
little interest.
Under the present system the Lgis-
lature follows the advice, in purely
local matters, of the representatives
of the counties from which the local
bills come. 1t assumes that these rep
resentatives know what the people of
their counties and cities want. How
much better it would be if county COM
missioners and municipal councilmen
were clothed with power to deal with
these local measures! OF course there
are certain local measures that would
have to go to the Legislature, but the
number of them is small in COMPARE
son to the number now introduced into
that body.
With the local bills out of the way
the Legislature would have much more
time to give to general bills. Not only
that, but there would be much less
need than there is now for annual ses-
sions of the Legislature. We have
been contending for years that annual
sessions are unnecessary. Only a few
of the states have them. The great
majority find that biennial sessions an
swer every purpose. Besides, the cost
of them is very much less.
In this state there is no revenue to
throw away. The Legislature finds it
difficult to meet the demand upon it
for appropriations. At every session
there are applications for money for
this and that thing which have to be
refused because the revenue is too
small to make a favorable response to
them. Most of them are meritorious.
In fact, all of them have some merit.
At the present time there is hesitation
to appropriate money for an exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition for
the reason that it is doubtful if the
states income will permit it. Why not
take into consideration the reform
herein proposed? We are confident
that it would have the approval of the
people if adopted.

Prince Urushoff of Russia is said to
have become insane from chagrin be-
cause of indignities placed upon him
by peasants. 1t seems that the Prince
was proud of his craftsmanship, and

friends His favorite targets were the
peasants about his estate, and he be-
came so expert that he could kill a
man at the first shot or merely break
an arm or leg, according to his wish.
After a time the ungrateful peasants
revolted, attacked the Prince with
sticks and stones and wounded him.

The career of the burglar. Walters,
as detailed in our local columns yes
terday, shows a weakness in our penal
system. The man is an old offender,
and has served terms in both the peni-
Tertiary and the changing. Indeed,
he had only been back from the peni-
tertiary "a few days when he renewed
his preying upon society. Not the
slightest reformation had been work
ed in him by his prison experiences.
He was, If anything, a worse menace
to the community afterwards than he
was before his first conviction and
sentence. He broke into residence, in
the dead hours of night, armed with
a rnurderous knife, which he confessed
he meant to use if those sleeping in
the house We're awakened and inter
fered with him. That he did not stab
and kill was due to no good inten-
lions on his part. He was a murderer
at heart, as well as a daring burglar.
In South Carolina the felonious en-
trance in the night time into a house
in which persons are asleep is a capt.
tai crime, punishable with death on
the gallows. The law assumes that
the burglar goes prepared to kill, and
viii kill, and that therefore, the earth
is better rid of his presence.

for instance, the hacks and the wag-

invariably be encountered hacks, drays,

Mr.. Cleveland gives notice that he

thing whatever that he may say will

of Bardell VS.. Pickwick, it will be

prove to the satisfaction of the court
and jury that "chops and tomato

should say something about talcum
powder and rubber rings the opposi-
ton would take it to mean he was
