in any city of the United States for one hour. Nor would 1t be tolerated by the Cuban Congress and President Palma if they could help themselves. But when they have indicated a pur- pose to undo the nefarious concession Platt amendment has been shaken in their faces, and they have been told 1t is an act of the Intervening gov- ernment," which is covered and pro- tected by that famous amendment.
 Could anything reflect more discredit- ably upon our government than that 1t should be placed in such q position of sponsorship for gambling concern which the Cuban Government would de- stroy if it had free hand? Was the Platt amendment designed to be per- verted to such base ends? Cannot the Congress of the United States by some act of modification or statute of construction of the Platt amendment give the Cuban. Government enough freedom of action to extirpate this abomination? Shall our government be disgraced and the Cuban people damaged for ten long years by the continuance of this detestable franchise and the maintenance of this den of blacklegs?
 A Congressional committee ought to be sent to Havana to investigate this whole transaction and report a remedy Our country cannot afford to occupy any such position as 1t now occupies in this matter.

We believe that his election would be conducive to the hap piness, welfare and prosperity of the people. This is no mere assumption, no unsupported declaration. Judge Par- ker Is a pupil and disciple of Samuel J. Tilden. As such he Is thoroughly imbued with the ideas of that illus trious statesman. And a man thus int bued Is needed at the head of our great Government. And what is the Tilden idea of Government. of civil ad- ministration? A combination of that which was lofty and patriotic in Wash ington's administrations; feasible and practical in the political philosophy of Jefferson. and noble, humane and su- blime in, Abraham Lincoln. ,s That. in short, Is Tiidenism in its simplicity and purity"

CUBAN PROGRESS.

Changes for the Better are Marvellous
 New Government . Success Bishop Warren A. Chandler in The In-
 dependent.
 For the seventh time I have visited Cuba. ,
 The changee-most of them for the better-since my visit in the autumn of 1898 are marvellous.
 The streets of Havana are clean. and the sanitary conditions of the city are as good as in any city of the same size of which have any knowledge. in the world and yellow-fever victims died on the streets.
 The order is good and life and prop erty are as secure here as anywhere.
 The administration of President Tomas Estrada Palma Is commended on all sides. The impression gathered from talking with men of all classes here; including both Cubans and Amer jeans. Is that President Palma is not a brilliant man, as the word goes, but a wise, prudent and honest man. The people have confidence in his moral qualities.
 He has used the veto power with wis., dom and firmness.
 In one instance he vetoed what was known as the Corona law" statute exempting members of Congress from the ordinary processes of trial by the courts and making them amenable to the Supreme Court only. It grew out of a homicide by Congressman Corona, of Santiago. The President vetoed the bill as a piece of class legislation en- tirely incompatible with the genius of a republican form of government. Con gressman Corona has begun a four years term in the penitentiary for his crime. Would the administration of justice in the case of an American Con- gressman charged with a homicide have been more swift and sunfaltering in our own country?
 Again, President Palma vetoed the lottery bill. This was an act of even greater courage. The Spanish tradi- tions concerning lotteries, the habits and spirit of most Cuban men as to gambling by lottery and otherwise were combined against him; yet he with stood them all and forbade by veto the creation of lottery under Cuban law.
 The conduct of the Cuban President Is in sharp contrast with the act of General Wood in granting a ten-year concession to that shameless inStitu- ton of gambling. the, Jal Alai Com pany. This concession General Wood granted Just three days before turning Palma Within the same brief period he was offered and received a 5000 present, which all parties in Havana with whom have talked assert was purchased by the men of the Jai Alai Company. The pleas made in abate- ment by the friends of General Wood in the United States are laughed to scorn here, and with justice, as it seems to me The Jaf Alai institu- tion is one of. the meanest forms. of gsmbhng, and would not be tolerated

OPENING OF UNIVERSITY.
More New Men on Hand than Ev
 Known Before.


 Tuscaloosa, Sept. 7.-(Special. )- The session of 1904 and 1905 at the University of Alabama promises to be one of the most prosperous the instt- tuition has ever known.
 At the opening this morning there were more new men on the ground than has ever been known before. The professors of each department have been busily engaged examining new men and arranging classes. The books showed a total enrolment at IF m. of 155, ninety-five of which were new men. In the law department there were twenty.
 President Abercrombie expresses himself as being much pleased with the opening and believes that within the next few days all previous sessions will be overtopped. The co-eds, are much in evidence and it is thought they will double the number of last year.
 Among the iSsw men there are some dozens who tip the scale at from 18b to 210. Coach Blount, Captain Wyatt and Manager Eddington are on the grounds and the football work began this afternoon.

 telegram has been received here from Prof. W. H.

It had then grown dark. measured about two inches in diameter and resembled a small crater. The object is said to coincide in position with a previously recorded craterlet, but is apparently larger.

Two other tiny craterlets and dark spot on the floor of Pinto, not previously re- ported. are also announced by Prof. Pick ering
