Butter Boys of Porto Rico.

From the Washington Post.
 Every morning the people of the large towns of Porto Rico are awakened by little merchants crying "Butter! Butter of the country!"
 These are the butter boys, who go trot- ting in each morning as soon as the tropical dawn begins, to sell the native butter which has been made by their mothers the day before.
 Each little merchant carries plate on his head, balancing 1t expertly like juggler, and never bothering to steady 1t with his hand. whether he is running or making change.
 The plate contains about fifty or sixty 'pats" of the stuff. It isn't very good although it seems delicious to the Porto Ricans, because their climate is not adapted for keeping butter well; so they are accustomed to an article that would seem rancid and strong to the luckier persons in the north.
 The pats are very small, weighing less than an ounce each, and they sell for about one cent. The customers of the butter boys usually buy just enough to serve one meal.
 The butter boys mothers don't make this butter in a churn. They merely shake milk or cream in big jar till 1t is fairly solid. Then they put in lots of salt and send it to town.

Virginia Democrats.

There Is a good deal of Parker senti- ment among the democrats of Virginia. but 1 still meet many thoughtful men who strongly favor Cleveland's nomination" said Judge l.. R. Watts of Portsmouth, Va, general counsel of the Seaboard Air Line, as he stood in the lobby of the Hillman last night.
 MT. Cleveland has a wonderful hold on the people and even democrats who were partisans of D. B. Hill in 1892 have told me recently that they would be glad to vote for Cleveland this year if he were the nominee of the party. My opinion is that Cleveland Is stronger now than ever, but If German or Parker should be the nominee the democrats would go to worK with the hope of victory.
 Under Virginia's new constitution we will not have a large vote this year. So many of our people have failed to pay their poll tax and are therefore, not qualified to exercise the American suf- frage."

 Much Ado About Nothing.
France and England.

The new Anglo-French treaty is a far-reaching event. It really takes away all basis for wars between the two countries, and only the war pas sion pure and simple is left in the two countries, which trouble-makers and demagogues can manipulate. The two powers have punched their differences and settled them, or provided for their settlement. The treaty in short is even a more important step in like direction than The Hague tribunal.
 The long-standing fishery dispute in New Foundland over fishery rights, which has been source of friction nearly two hundred years, is disposed of by the treaty. France renounces all her rights in the fisheries, and England is to pay to France for the renuncia- tion a sum te be determined by The Hague tribunal. The exclusive fishing rights of France on the French shore of Newfoundland are at last put out of the way by the new treaty.
 Nor is this all. The treaty recog- nizes French influence in Morocco and British influence in Egypt, with free dom of trade for thirty years. The boundaries, too, in West Africa are readjusted, and French control in Madagascar is established. All the differences that nave arisen in Siam and the New Hebrides are adjusted, and so are many minor differences in various parts of the world.
 The new treaty is a fine means of preventing wars, and it is a good illus tration of the desire of the two coun- tries to draw close together. It makes for peace, civilization and progress.

Exposing Campaign Grafters.

From Houston, Tex, comes a report that will carry mingled feelings to all parts of the country. It will, if true, carry consternation to some, and a deep, if not gratifying, sensation to others. It is best to give the report as it comes from Houston, as follows:
 "A suggestion has been made in a Washington special that Mr Hearst's can ddacy Is not really for the presidency, but to prove that there are many prom imnent democrats who are willing to be bought for any candidate who has the money and that there is to be an exposure in the Hearst papers, after 1t Is all over in which the names of the said prom inent democrats will be given to the world. This suggestion has borne some fruit in Texas, and there Is a belief tha. there may be more than rumor in the suggestion of Hearsts plan of spending a big sum of money for the purpose of doing the party a good turn
 Herein is a chance for a scoop on the part of the Hearst newspapers that would sell more papers than could be printed. The Jackson Evening News thinks the Hearst papers should pre- sent the subject by states, thus enab- ling them to cover perhaps the entire summer In this way the Hearst bar. rel could be refilled, and Hearst him. self could pose as natiYhal Joe Folk while he files claim to- nomination in 1908. His chance for the demo. cratic nomination in 1904 has disap. peared altogether, and he has nothing to lose by naming those who took his money but failed to deliver delegates

HIS FARM GOT TWISTED.

From the New York Commercial.
 In a recent issue, the Hughesville ( Pa.) Independent discusses with that gravity which becomes the ''1eader'' in it's edito- rial columns, this queer phenomenon:
 When the recent flood in the north branch of the Susquehanna river subsided 1t was found that more than two acres of land on the McCollum truck farm had been raised up and turned half way around. This farm lies between Espy and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad; the soil is black and moist and during the severe winter 1t froze very hard on top, while a foot or more down it was not so firmly congeal- ed. When the flood came it permeated underneath this soil and lifted it, the surrent swinging it around so that the ditches and drains which ran east and west now run north and south, and strawberry beds and vegetable plants that were near the house are now a couple of hundred yards away"
 It seems only fair to the good folks of Hughesville to add that the editor of the Independent is not native-born
