The Ssnto Domingo Treaty.
Press.

Philadelphia Press
No candid observer of the negotiations
with Santo Domingo embodied in the
treaty before the Senate familiar with
the history of this Republic needed or
required the disclaimer addressed by Sec
rotary Hay to its Minister disclaiming
any purpose to acquire territory in
either Hayti or Santo Domingo.
Such suggestion is baseless infer
ence from negotiations and an instru-
ment designed not to control, to annex
or to subjugate the Dominican Republic,
but calculated instead to give stability
to its Government, solvency to its treas
ury and free it's independence from the
vexatious and threatening demands of
foreign creditors. The.new treaty does
nothing more and should do nothing less
than apply to the conditions of Santo
Domingo the principle and practice of
the Platt amendment in the case of
Cuba.
Like that, it leaves Santo Domingo in
complete independence as to its internal
government and all it's external rela-
tions. 1t asks for no territory and it
seeks no administrative control. 1t steps
in, as the United States did in the case
of Cuba, between an exhausted island
and rapacious creditors. 1t substitutes
for the demands of bankers, backed by
gunboats, the patient scrutiny by the
United States of the equities of the OBJ
legations of the Republic. 1t prevents
revolution, as it has been prevented in
Cuba, by showing that, while any
change of government can be peacefully
carried out, no alleged revolution will be
permitted to levy upon custom houses
in order to obtain the means to enrich
it's promoters, derange trade and dem
oralize population slowly reaching in
dustrial stability and needing beyond
any other peace, order and a settled
government.
No instrument can be farther remov-
ed than is this treaty from any purpose
of Subjugation, conquest, acquisition or
control. None could do more to give
Santo Domingo the opportunityto work
out its own salvation and maintain its
own independence, free from rebellion
within and intimidation without. 1t is
a precedent as Cuba was a precedent,
and no more. 1t takes no steps for the
future. 1t meets instead the needs of
the present by a treaty outlining the
policy of the United States drawn in the
spirit of the Platt amendment, which
originated in the Senate and was its
work.

Plea Easily Answered.
Mobile Register.


The replies of presidents and corpora
ton advocates to the popular agitation
for railroad regulation have been based
mainly on the plea that the changes
proposed are extreme, but some of the
special pleaders have advanced that the
contemplated laws are inconsistent with
the time-honored argued of English
speaking people toward private business.
An answer to this line of argument is
given by d. w. Frederiksen in the Mich
igan Law Review. He shows that CEN
turtles ago in England the prices of the
articles that are necessaries of life were
fixed entirely by law and practically not
at all by competition. The prices of
bread, beer, wine, meat, fish, poultry,
candles and cloth, innkeeper's rates,
ferry charges and even rates of wages
thus established.
Mr.. Frederiksen does not argue that
the custom of centuries ago is necessary
or justified today, but his data serves
as contradiction to the railroad repre-
sentatives who claimed that any project
to control the modern monopolies is re-
evolutionary and anarchistic.
In making his reply, the Michigan at
torney might have mentioned that the
size of loaves of bread is still governed
by law in England; and that coal, tobac-
co and other commodities are weighed
by law. Also that with the exception
of the Cambrian railway, which operates
one train day, the railroads of Great
Britain are compelled by law,to double
track their systems from end to end and
to use the block signal system at every
station, no matter how small.

WashIngtOn's Wlfe-bsatlng Record.

Atlanta Constitution.
The figures to Congress show that
while wife-beating may not be INDUCED
in by all the residents of the national
capital, the number of such cases is I'M
usually large. During 1904 there were
127 cases in which men were convicted
of beating their wives. This number is
not abnormally large-for the district.
The figures for previous years are 124
in 1900, 1O4 in 1901, 122 in 1902 and 118
in 1903. But the Judge says even this
record is necessarily incomplete. In ex-
planning his report, he writes
"The offense of wife-beating in the
District of Columbia is charged under
the general head of assault without any
distinction as TO whether the assault is
made upon the wife or upon any other
person. 1t is believed, however, that
the numbers hereinafter given are sub
stantially correct. These figures do not
include any case, of which there were
quite number, in which the wife with
drew the charge before trial and no con-
viction had, but only cases where there
were actual convictions either by plea
of guilty or trial by the Court"
But why confne the active operations
of the proposed whipping post to wife
beaters? Why shonld the crusade not
extend to the application of the lash
upon the bare back of any man who es-
says to chastise any woman ?

Railroads UnequalIy Taxed.
Railway World.

Railway World.
New Jersey may lag behind the West
ern States in valuation, but the stand of
her Tax Commission in advocating equal
assessment of all kinds of property, per-
sonal or corporate, is vast improve
ment over the confscatory recommends
tons Of some Western commissions. All
that the railroads ask at the hands of
the tax authorities is equality of treat
ment with other property owners. At
present they do not obtain this equality
of treatment. Whether a measure of
justice shall come to prevail in this mat
ter depends quite as much upon the
development of a correct understanding
of the relation of the railway to the
State as upon the evolution of systems
of tax assessment and tax distribution.

Negroes at the Inauguration
Richmond News Leader.

Richmond News Leader.
Now let US try and avoid the quadren-
NAL sensational nonsense about negroes
at the inaugural ball and in the parade
at Washington. Some Southern people
and newspapers seem to make spe-
cialty Of being fools on this subject.
Suppose in a crowd of seven or eight
thousand people at the ball there is a
negro or two, or a dozen? Suppose,
even, we are threatened with the hor-
ror of negro walters on that occasion
or a negro drum corps somewhere in
the parade-or mayhap scattered
negro here and there in New England
militia company? All this is no business
of ours. There is no necessity for US
to mix with these people or even to en-
counter them. If we did they wouldn't
hurt us. We cannot imagine that in a
parade five or six miles long anybody's
Caucasian chastity will be impaired by
the presence somewhere IN 1t OF few
negroes.
Nobody believes in drawing the So
cial race line tighter or holding it hard
er than does The News Leader, but
there is no sense in going to extremes
or turning silly about it or talking lot
of nonsensical bosh. If some of the
idiot newspapers with which we are
afflicted in the South choose to stir up
this subject, as they usually do, and if
some sappy youths from Georgia or that
neighborhood see fit to fiddle them
selves with liquor and say absurd things
it, the best course for the
rest of us is to ignore them entirely,
let the subject go by default, and go on
calmly about our business or pleasure.

One of the most serious of the fnan-
cial problems of the country is the
proper disposition of the vast amount
of money that is accommodating in the
savings banks, and the still greater sur
plus that is accommodating in the hands
of the great insurance corporations.
These savings must be kept in circula-
ton or there will become a scarcity of
circulating medium. But the savings
banks trustees are concerned about the
funds they control. They want to in
vest in things that will be quick assets,
something that will be easily convert
ible like Government bond, which is
always accepted as cash.

"Thres Sheets in the Wind"
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
"What was the origin of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets in the
wind?'" A landsman asked a sailor
the other day. 'Well," said the sailor,
'I'll explain that to you. The two
lower corners of ships sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called tack and
other called a sheet. The tack is al
ways kept very light, but the sheet is
loosened according to the wind, and the
looser the sheet is the more freely, the
sail swings. If the sail is quite free its
sheet is said to be lin the wind Now,
suppose that all three of ships sails
were quite free. They would then fly
about very crafty, and the ship
would wabble. The course of the ship
would be zigzag one, and the reason
for this would be that she had three
sheets in. the wind That, l guess, is
why man, when he zigzags in his
course, is said to be three sheets in the
wind also. .

We publish an article from the Rich
mond News Leader headed, Negroes
at the Inauguration. Our Richmond
contemporary is an ultra Southern
Democratic newspaper, especially so on
the race and social equality questions.
This does not prevent it from seeing
and uttering the truth. If this or any
other Republican paper had given ex-
preston to the views set forth by the
NewsLeader the chargewould have been
made that we favored social equality.
The News Leader is talking sense, and
we are glad it has the courage to give
expression to its opinions. AS our Rich
mond contemporary says, there are some
idiot newspapers at the South that are
constantly watching for opportunities
to keep the race question alive, and
they seize upon every incident to accom-
plish their purpose.

The SMALL EARM PRODUCTS.

There was time when the farmers
of Tazewell county could depend upon
the grazing of cattle, horses and sheep
as sole means of profit, but that time
is now past. The good and desirable
lands in the county have become too
high priced for grazing to be longer re-
lied on alone or chiefly as source of
profit. These high priced lands when
used for grazing will yield very small
per cent. on the investment, and only
those farmers who have large bounda-
ries and are men of wealth can afford
to use their lands exclusively for graz
ing. Already many of the men with
small farms have recognized the situa-
ton and are adjusting themselves to it.
They are now beginning to produce
more largely the small farm products
that were formerly considered too
small to engage their serious attention.
For the past three or four years the
raising of poultry has been gradually
increasing in the county, and it has been
found great source of profit to those
who have given it any reasonable atten-
ton. Last year the shipments of fowls
and eggs from Tazewell, Pounding Mill,
Tiptop and other stations on the Clinch
Valley Division were very large, and
they brought considerable amount of
money into the county. This ought to
be, and no doubt is, very great source
of encouragement for the extension of
the poultry business with our farmers;
and we have every reason to believe
that the year 1905 will witness large
increase in the production of fowls in
the county. Prices were high last year
and they promise to be good this year.
Other small products have also been
found proftable-butter, vegetables and
fruits. During the year 1904 our farm
ers who had surplus of these products
not only found a ready market for them
but sold at such good prices as must
have encouraged them to increased pro-
duction.
There are no farmers in the world
more favorably situated than are those
of Tazewell county for raising and dis
posing of all kinds of small farm pro-
ducts. The close proximity of the coal
fields of this county, of Wise and Rus
sell counties, and of Mcdowell and Mer-
Ger counties, West Virginia, supply a
market that is unsurpassed for such
products. There are thousands of men
now at work in the mines and other OPP
erations in these localities who, with
their families, are large consumers and
are always able and eager to buy just
such things as we are writing about.
We confidently expect in few years
to see the shipments of poultry, vege-
tables and fruits from Tazewell county |
bringing in more money than is derived |
from the shipments of live stock.
