WORK OF THE THREE FRIENDS"
 AND HER FERROUS TRIPS

United States government never said SD No such cause was ever officially given for the brief conflict with it's far reaching effects. The United States government officially affirmed that 1t ordered the flag of Spain to be fired upon because the continued and pro- tracted struggle at her doors had be- come intolerabIe and destructive of some American interests.
 The American government declared for an armed intervention between the two contestants on the soil of dis tressed Cuba In the. interest of human ity
 The cowardly destruction of the Maine in the harbor of Havana only crystallized the public opinion of the United States for a war with Spain. It only aligned the people in an insistent demand that the power of Spain should be destroyed in the Western Hemis- phere.
 But for the filibuster. the Three Friends" and some of her less illus trious associates, there would have been no need for the Maine to have cast anchor in Havana harbor; there would havo been no need for armed interven- tion. Because the perennial struggle on the Island would never have amounted to anything bigger than the desultory. bandit warfare of tho pre- vious thirty years. But with arms coming over. with a stream of rein forcements coming over by the grace of the filibusters success, the little bands skulking in the woods and swamps broadened into some sort of an army and the struggle 1t was making with decaying Spain attracted the attention of the modern world.
 And by virtue of that very struggle America was given the opportunity Of

Men Who Sew.

That men should sew seems an anomaly, not altogether approved of by the sex supposed to own a monopoly of the needle. Apart from sailors. who are obliged to be skilled workers. there are several clever wielders of the needle to be found among masculine members of society. while royalty is represented by the Grand Duke of Hesse. who strange 10 relate. takes a pleasure that is literally absorbing in his embroidery working early in the morning before affairs of state call upon his leisure. He has sense of color that Is genuine ly artistic. and his work by its excel lence draws attention to the fact that even out of their own province men often equal women in their undertake ings. A certain beautiful drawing room contains many embroidered chair backs and cushion covers worked by the deft fingers of the son of the house. who not only works. but designs with the needle as he embroiders, the re- suit being equal to anything achieved by women.

Winters Parting Blast.
Blizzard conditions prevailed through
out the northern half of the country
last week. causing much delay and in
convenience to the street and railroad
transportation companies. At the same
time throughout the south heavy rains
alternated with snowstorms, with con-
siderable damage from foods resulting.
The ensuing cold wave is said to have
destroyed large part of the southern
fruit crop.

Tamnany Antaeonizes Socialism.
The Tammany Society of New York
city has announced the platform on
which it would fight this years state
campaign and also the issues on which
the next presidential election will turn.
1t favors making the national fight on
the issue Of tariff reform and in the
state campaign will confine itself to
advocating rigorous punishment for III
surance grafters and opposition to mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities.
This means that Tammany has deter
mined to put spoke in the wheel Of
W. r. Hearst's candidacy for the gov
ernorship. Speaking on this progress
Representative Cochran said that the
problem was how to stop graft and
corruption without imperiling private
property. He thought the best remedy
would be to repeal the laws which
foster trusts and to punish men Of
wealth who disregard the laws of dem
Ccratic government. One of the resolu
tons adopted opposes Socialism in
these words:
''We hold that the cure for all these
abuses is not in Socialism. which by
enormously extending the power of
government must aggravate them, but
in democracy, which by excluding gov
eminent from any interference what
ever with private industry must cure
them"
Philadelphia Receivers Franchises.
The monopoly Of important subway

that the way is cleared for the entry

Rate Bill Dividing Democrats.

Rate Bill Dividing Democrats
The continuation of the senate ue-
bate on the Hepburn railroad rate flx-
ing bill has tended to widen differences
of opinion on the Democratic slde,
where at the outset there appeared to
be almost unanimity. This divergence
has occurred largely in connection
with the amendments offered by Sena-
tor Bailey of Texas. One of these pro-
vides that a rate shall afford "a just
compensation for the service per-
formed Another provides for review
of rates in the circuit courts, but not
operating to suspend the commissions
rate pending a court decision. num-
Der of Democrats are known to be OPP
posed to these amendments. Senator
Bailey withdrew from the debate upon
Their at New Orleans.
The senate's resentment over nunler-
Gus attacks upon it's character ino mag
azines and periodicals found vent when
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts rose
to discuss the rate bill. He said it had
become the fashion to indulge in furi-
GUS attacks upon all our institutions of
government and upon our character as
a people. He thought this a miserable
calling He particularly criticised Com
merce Commissioner Prouty for stat
ing that the courts and other public
bodies are owned by the railroads, The
magazine writer's, he said. seized upon
the excitement of the moment to ply
their trade. He saw great dangers
lurking in this readiness to criticise
our institutions. Criticism Of individ-
uals was of little moment
As to the rate bill. he argued in favor
of increasing the membership of the
interstate commerce commission to
nine and increasing their salaries to
$4,000 per year so as to endoW the
committee with the highest possible
character"
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, who
spoke next, attacked the constitutions
atty of the Bailey amendment, argu
ing that if congress can limit the in
herent powers of the lower federal
courts they are not what the constitu-
ton intended.
To Improve Consular Service.
The senate bill reclassifying the con-
suiar service and increasing salaries to
the extent of $4,000 a year has been
approved by the house.

Judge O'Sullivan of the New York city
general sessions in charging the grand
jury. District Attorney Jerome had
held that it must be first proved that
the contributions had been made with
feloniolls intent He said he would
present dispositions upon which war
rants might issue for the arrest of such
men as Postmaster General Cortelyou
or Cornelius n Bliss as officers of the
Republican campaign committee on
charges of receiving stolen goods. He
said that if the judges view was right
the jury would have to hold George
W. Perkins of the New York Life and
many others as felons. He wanted the
question determined by the highest
court at once and promised to retain

Organized Labor's Appeal.
A delegation of more than 100 lead
ers of organized labor headed by Sam
uel Gompars. president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, have made
formal appeal to President Roosevelt,
to President Pro TEN Frye of the SEN
ate and to Speaker Cannon of the
house as representatives of the party
in power The appeal thus presented
set forth what the labor men regard
as the neglect of their interests by the
legislative and executive departments
clared that this neglect had been shown
in the failure to enact an eight hour
work day for government employees,
in the relaxation Of Chinese exclusion
laws, in the abrogatiOn of the eight
hour principle on Panama canal work
without due public notice, in the per-
version of antitrust and commerce
laws so as to deprive individuals Of
freedom by court injunctions, in the
hostile makeup of committees of con-
gress. in the failure to protect laborers
from convict work and in the presi-
dents recent proclamation denying
government employees the right to pc
tition congress for better conditions
Both the president and speaker re-
piled at length. The president said
he approved of the proposed anti-in-
junction law. and as to the exception
to the eight hour law on canal work
he denied that no opportunity was CIV
en- for public hearing. He said he
believed in the eight hour law s'for our
own people in our own country but
insisted that conditions in the tropics
were entirely different. He was in
favor of properly restricting immigra-
ton, but said that we could not have
too many immigrants of the right kind
AS to the petitioning of government
employees to congress the president
said that it was necessary for such
matters to proceed through the heads
of departments as a matter of simple
discipline. In conclusion, he would do
everything in his power for the labor
ing man except to do what Is wrong"
Speaker Cannon denied that his COM
mittees had been hostile to the rights
Of labor. He admitted that the Fedora
ton represented a large part of the
population. but insisted that there were
others also entitled to consideration.
