Addition, silence nd Division BE -

If strenuousness is not too overworked
a word, neither Is groceries. IL the for
mer covers a multitude of virtues, the
latter comprises vast contiguity of
sugar.
All the enemies of Mr.. ROOSEVELT in
this, his own State. are oonciliated, recon-
ciled and slenced in the great adum-
bragg of groceries. Originally humble
and concrete branch of trade, the crack
ers and cheese industry has expanded
like a department store and now em-
braces everything there is in sight.
The genius of Doodle and graft is more
triumphant than was CROKER ever at
his apogee. He is working for his own
pocket all the time, and his motto is
Addition, Silence and Division be -"
The old rock that CROKER split on has no
terrors for him. Why should it? He,
if ever man did. knows where he
is at
What does groceries fail to include?
Nothing! The canal is in it, and no
political vicissitudes will be allowed to
interfere with a quick harvest Of the
first fruits Of that department, The
canal will cost this city 500, 100000 as its
share in that comprehensive exploit Of
insanity. The late ANDREW H. GREEN
established that fact beyond possibility
of dispute just before his death. OF that
100000, 900 $40 600 600 is already in sight,
subject to immediate manipulation in the
groceries schedule. The rest will follow
in due season, for what is once included
or comprised within the schedule never
escapes therefrom.
The canal is large. proposition and
full of sugar. 1t appeals to the imagina-
ton and to the practical understanding
OF every CRATER that ever saw the sun
go down behind the Kaatskills. 1t Is an
immediate morsel and it will be par
titioned out with skill. There will be, as
there has been 80 far, Addition, Silence
and DiviscA be -!
But the work must be done with des-
patch. There is no time to be lost and
there is greater than the canal to be
saved, and that is Ramapo. Let no suf-
fering taxpayer hug the illusion to his
soul that Ramapo is dead. Never was
it more alive; and the past master Of
Ramapo, the Great Gasteropod Of Graft
himself. he rides the grocery where Rama
po is now boiling tn. he free. There are
only 5000, 900 900 Of plumber in Ramapo,
and it is quicker stuff than the canal and
the time is short and growing shorter
and harvests that are not garnered inside
OF twelve months there is no insuring.
Let tho good work go on apace. All is
Harmony and Graft and Graft and Har-
mony. So long as there Is sugar to be
housed the Party may go hang. Besides.

Gen. Wood and the Isle Of Pines.

1t is reported that Senator PENRosE
of Pennsylvania, assisted by colleagues
representing several other States, will
oppose the ratification Of the treaty by
which we recognize the sovereignty Of
Cuba over the Isle of Pines. The oppo-
sition, is said to be based upon the charge
that constituents Of these Senators made
large investments in the island, relying
upon assurances given by Gen. WOOD
that it would remain American.
1t will be remembered that there was
some controversy touching the status
given to the Isle of Pines by the Treaty
of Paris. BY that treaty Spain re-
nounced "all sovereignty over and title
to Cuba, and ceded to the United States
"the island of Porto Rico and other
islands now under Spanish sovereignty Y
in the West Indies" There is no doubt
that geographically the Isle of Pines is
detached from Cuba, but from an ad-
ministrative and a political point of view,
it had long been treated as part of the
larger island There is good reason to
believe that the representatives of Spain
who signed the Treaty of Paris took for
granted that the Isle of Pines was polti-
cally inseparable from Cuba and would
share the latter islands destiny. As,
however, the Isle of Pines was not spe-
officially named in the document, the
question was mooted-at the time when
constitution for Independent Cuba was
in process of formation-whether the
T~.t t,tn h, sl,,.,.
island as part of the inchoate COM
monwealth.
Our Government made no definite
reply to the inquiry at the time, but has
since answered it by recognizing Cuba s
sovereignty over the Isle of Pines in
a separate treaty which now awaits
ratification by the Senate. AS the Re-
public of Cuba has ceded to us two naval
stations, one on the northern and the
other on the southern shore of the
larger island, it seems but equit able to
confirm what almost cert anlv was the
intention of the Spanish plenipoten-
tiaries at Paris
On the other hand, it will scarcely
be denied that in equity our Government
ought to shield from loss those American
citizens who, during our military occu-
patton of Cuba, invested money in the
Isle of Pines, provided it can be shown
that the investments were made on the
strength of assurances given by an
official represent ative of our Government
that the Isle of Pines then occupied
and would continue to occupy the
status of Porto Rico. Senator PENRosE
says that such declarations were made
by Gen. WooD in his official capacity v
as Military Governor of Cuba, and that
in reliance thereon, about one-half of
the Isle of Pines was purchased by citi-
zcns of Pennsylvania. New York. New
Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri

Mrs MARY B, G. EDDY refers us to page
81 of the thirty-third edition of the Manual
of the Mother Church., containing the by
laws of the Christian Scientists; and we
find there the subjoined article relating
to her proper title in the Church:
THE TITLE OF MOTHER CHANoEp.--In the year
lsaS loyal Christian Scientists had given TO tho
author Of their text book the Founder OF Christian
Science the individual. endearing term OF Mother.
At nrst Mrs EDDY objected to being called thus.
but afterwsrd consented on the grounds that this
appellative In the Church meant nothing more than
a tender term. such as sister or brother. In the
year 1903. owing TO the public msunderst sndng
OF this name II is the duty OF Christian Scientist,
to drop the word mother. and to substitute Leader
already used in our publications"

individual designation are quite ineligible

The Metaphysical Recess Of Congress

OF all the theories ever evolved by the
subtle human intellect to meet a political
emergency, that which is attributed to
Senator LODGE is perhaps the most
ingenious.
The Senator is reported as holding in
substance, that even if there is no ad-
journment to-day of the extraordinary
session Of Congress until the time ar
rives for the beginning of the regular
session, there must be, nevertheless, an
infinitesimal interval between the two
sessions sufficient to accommodate GER
tain Executive acts which can only be
performed when the Congress Is not in
sesson-snch, for example, as the ap-
pointment, as recess appointment, OF
DR.. WOOD to be Major-General.
Sound metaphysics and beautiful
demonstration! In the philosophy of
the infinitely small, there is always a gap
between the successive heart beats Of
eternity. Nothing is continuous. There
is an infnitesimal interval between the
noon that marks the end of the e1traor-
dinary session and the same noon that
marks the beginning of the regular ses-
sion. Senator LODGES reasoning is as
conclusive as that which proves that if
JONES starts of to catch ROBINSON,
travelling at twice RoBINsoN's speed.
he will reduce the distance between them
to one-half, one-quarter, one-eighth,
one-sixteenth, and so on throughout a
series of fractions; but inasmuch as
there is no end to the extension of the
denominator short of infnity, there must
always be between the pursuer and the
pursued space capable of mathematical
expression, and consequently JONES can
never overtake the other fellow.
So with the theoretical recess of Con-
gress between noon of to-day and noon
of to-day. 1t taxes the mind somewhat
to comprehend the brevity of its dura-
ton. The ten-billionth part Of Sec
ond is infinitely longer in comparison
to Senator LODGES contemplated in
terim for Executive action than are
the countless geological ages that have
been required let us say, for the Colo
RADIO River to cut its canon longer than
the time occupied by the jump of an
| electric spark.
Nevertheless, the infinitesimal recess
has theoretical existence; and If the
Hon. THEODORE RoosEvELT's swift pen
can manage to sign the necessary docu-
| ment and complete the recess appoint
ment of DR.. WOOD in that metaphvsi-
cal interval between astronomical noon
and astronomical noon, the new appoint
ment will no doubt be legal.

and Minnesota. He adds that, far from
finding their interests safeguarded in
the treaty now pending before our
Senate, these American invest ors are left
at the mercy of an inadequate local
government, and will be compelled to
pay the Cuban duties upon imports, the
proceeds of which duties will be, for the
most part, applied to the necessities of
the larger island, only n very small
fraction thereof, if any, being expended
on the Isle of Pines.
We do not believe that Gen. WOOD,
when Military Governor Of Cuba, was
authorized by Secretary Roof, whose
representative he was, to make any
such statement as is imputed to him
by Senator PENRosE. If he told Ameri-
can citizens that the Isle of Pines would
remain American territory, the state
ment was made on his own authority
and it might be well to investigate the
circumstances under which such breach
of official duty was committed. Those
Americans who contemplated large in
vestments in the Isle of Pines would be
likely to make careful preliminary in
quiries, and they must have been led to
believe that Gen. WooD was thor
oughly conversant with the views and
intentions of our Government, and that
these were correctly described by him.
Men of business are not apt to neglect
obvious precautions before purchasing
,,-I,
political status is for the moment
underlined.
If Senator PENRoSE can prove that
American citizens made large invest
ments in the Isle of Pines on the strength
of assertions emanating from Gen. WOOD,
he ought to go further and show in
detail under what circumstances assur-
ances never warranted by the Secretary
of War came TO be given.
