Reports on the Isle of Pines,

The Isle of Pines is but a small part of this world. but it is big enough to lead to reports from the Senate com mittee on foreign relations that fill PIT pages. The majority report recom- mends the ratification of the treaty, chiefly on the ground that the island is of small value to the United States and that Cuba has granted to this country valuable naval and coaling stations in part consideration of our relinquishmen5 of our claim to the isle.
 Senator Morgan presents a minority report. filling SS pages of the volume. He shows that the war department did inform American investors that the isle was American property, and he says that if they are contemptuously turned away without the security and protection they honestly deserve. the Senate will fail in it's duty to them and to the country. He shows, too. that the coaling station at Guantanamo is a small return for s10O,000, 900 expended in securing the independence of Cuba. But his chief point is that Congress alone has power to dispose of the Isle of Pines, and the treaty-malSing power should not attempt to alienate it. Sen ator Clark also signs the minority re- read that report without being con vinced that Messrs. Morgan and Clark have the stronger side of the case

AMERICAN HUMOR.

From the New York World.
 Jerome K. Jerome, in some remarks on American humor, says that we have been overfed. A succession of brilliant jokers have satiated us with refined humor un- til the national appetite requires coarser fare for stimulation. He refers to "the subtle touch which England likes still and America once liked"
 In the name of Punch and the Prophet, figs! The history of American humor is a chronicle of development to a pres ent pitch of refinement and subtlety with which the work of the earlier humorists suffers by comparison. It is the history of the evolution of the pun into the wittlcism.
 Could Petroleum V. Nasby get a hear ing today? Or the Danbury News Man or "Peck's Bad Boy? Would not a Bur dette writing for the more exacting twentieth century perception find his oc- cupation gone? Even an Artemus Ward and Josh Billings appealing to latter day readers would perceive the essential need of a purification and refinement of method if they were to hold their audience under anything like the old spell.
 Progress from broad lines approaching buffoonery to delcacy, from the obvious and the apparent to the elusive, is obser- vable in all humorists who hold their pub lie. It was seen in Eugene Field. It is discernable in Mark Twain whom Mir. Jerome cites as a survival of the 'old American school" Between "The Inno- cents Abroad and "Pudleyburg" Is all the contrast of the changed taste of a new generation. Falstaff is not now the fashion.
 As for the quality of contemporaneous British humor, the simultaneous presence among us of MT. Jerome and MT. Ernest Fownes. the Baltic passenger whose jokes secured his detention pending an examina- tion as to his sanity, makes deductions difficult.

Toe Many Lieutenant Generals.

The army appropriation bill is to be taken up this week, and it will contain a provision that will, if accepted, abol- ish the grade of lieutenant general of the army. The grade has been over worked. At present every general who reaches the retiring age expects to go out of active service as a lieutenant general. We have nearly a dozen of such men. Besides Lieutenant General Chaffee, we have Miles, Bates, Seho- field, Young, and perhaps a dozen more who expect promotion before they reach the age of GA, thus giving them a pay on the retired list of $s250, as compared with s5625, the pay of re- tired major general.
 Public sentiment favors the keeping of the rank of lieutenant general and also of general for use in times of war. when perhaps men will be disclosed who deserve superior title. In these piping days of peace the rank of major general is considered good enough for all deeds or services that can be rem dered in the army. Congress can as occasion demands revive the two higher grades, and no doubt the coun- try will approve the proposition to abolish them until war comes again. May they never be restored to the serv- ice! It is enough at present to know that the army contains no one whose services deserve or call for rank above that of a major general.

Pat CrOwe's vindlcatlsn.

An Omaha jury before whom Pat Grove was tried for Kidnapping the young son of Edward Cudahy of the beef trust, promptly acquitted him. Grove himself explains the verdict by saying there are a good many people who don't like the way Cudahy got his money any better than the way he lost it"
 He lost but $25.00O in the Kidnapping transaction, and to a member of the beef trust such a sum is not worth mentioning. But what shall be said of the jury that acquitted Grove, or of the auditors who applauded that jury :?
 Here is indeed a situation-a situa- tion in which high finance is tried as well as kidnaper. No one doubts the guilt of Grove The evidence was suf- ficient, for the judge on the bench plainly said as much when he rebuked the audience.
 The truth is, there was altogether too much public sentiment, and too little law and justice in the Omaha court room. Grove is still in jail be- cause he happened in the course of his picturesque career to hold up a couple of street cars in Council Bluffs He may yet be sent to the penitentiary, but not as a kidnaper. The Omaha jury has acquitted him of that charge, and young Cudahy stands practically charged with having kidnapped himself when he was a lad of fifteen. Omaha plainly needs dose of Reform, and the "R" on the bottle should be large and prominent.

SPRING A SURPRISE.
Attorneys for Packers Place Special
 Agent Durand on the Stand.

Chicago. February 19-Attorneys for packers sprung something of a surprise today when they summoned to the wit ness stand Special Agent Durand, who conducted the investigation of the pack ing industry in Chicago and other cities. He was on the stand when court ad- journed for the day The questions put to him by the attorneys for the packers covered the manner in which the packers had surrendered their books for his in spection. and the nature of the informa- ton secured.
 An effort was made to show by the witness that information other than pub lished in the report of Commissioner Gar field had been given by the commissioner or his subordinates to the department O.. justice MT. Durand admitted that some papers and tables that were not com prehended in the report of the com missioner, had been inspected by Attor- ney General Pagin. He was not able to tell. however, whether the information which the assistant attorney general had seen was taken from the packers.
 Mir Durand will resume the stand in the morning.

f to 1,S00O00 tons, which would be a new record. The Iron Trade Review takes apparent delight in lauding the production of states on or near the Great Lakes, and it dismisses Alabama in these words:
 Alabama has been somewhat of a dis appointment. In 1890 the most confident prophecies were made of what Alabama would do to other iron producing regions. In 1890 Alabama made S.9 per cent of the country's total, it's best proportion to that time; 1893 and 1896 were the only years in which the state furnished as much as 10 per. cent of the total, while the contribution in 1905 was but TO per cent by far the poorest of recent years"
 All this is true enough. Alabama has lacked capital for the rapid deyel- opment of it's mineral resources. but the indications are that it will not long be dwarfed in that way. On account of the immense production in the Pitts burg district and Ohio, this district will not be able this year to make 10 per cent of the country's product, but it will not fall below it's percentage of 1905, and the time will soon come when it will make 10 per cent of the total. It will get back to the proportions Of 1893 and 1896.

Santo Domingo.

Senator Clarke of Arkansas has de- cided to be governed by the will of the caucus of which he was part. He could not honorably do otherwise. This leaves but Senators Patterson and Me Emery to be known as White House democrats, and the republicans must have four such democrats before the Santo Domingo treaty can be con frmed.
 The democrats number thirty-three In the Senate, out of eighty-eight mem bers, there being a vacant seat from Delaware, and one from Kansas be- cause of Senator Burton's legal dis qualifications. A treaty must command two-thirds of the Senate, and the re- publicans number but fifty-fve. They need four White House democrats, and they can muster but two.
 The administration proposes, how ever, in case the treaty fails, to push the Santo Domingo scheme through under a joint resolution. The republi- cans have never lacked courage or az gressiyeness, and they do not conceal their intention to put the Santo Do mingo business through regardless of precedent.
 The worst feature of the business consists in the fact that it creates a new Monroe Doctrine, and commits the country to it, rendering Uncle Sam the great bill collector of the western world. The job of financing the Span ish American republics is indeed a task that Congress should hesitate to commit the country to until the ques- tion has been fully passed upon in a presidential election. It is a serious piece of business if a Monroe Doctrine is to be established that will push into any Latin republic that gets into debt, and they will drop into that condition

GERMANY REJECTS
 FRENCH PROPOSAL

Algeciras, February 19.-The German delegates to the Moroccan conference re- eeived from Berlin tonight Germany s reply to the proposition regarding the policing of Morocco. The reply is re- jeetion of the French proposition that the officers of the proposed police system shall be French and Spanish. Germany declares that the French proposal is con trary to the principle of international issue and equality of all the powers in Morocco. The question of establishing a bank which has been under discussion between Count won Tattenbach, the ju- nior German delegate and M Regnault, junior French delegate, also is bristling with difficulties, and no agreement rela- tive to the principal features of the pro- posal has been reached, nor does an agreement at present appear to be likely.
 The effect of the German reply on tle subject of the policing of Morocco has had a bad effect on the neutral delegates who were disposed to regard the French proposal as a moderate one, and who expected some acknowledgement in that regard from Germany. They do not, how ever, consider the cause as desperate, as it has been hitherto. Their guarded in- terference will be transformed into a strong pressure upon Germany whose un- yielding attitude is regarded as possibly threatening the> worlds peace.

The eadsden Lynching.

T heard very strong and at the same time interesting sermon in Gadsden Sun day by the Rev. J. c. Dickinson, brother to the Rev. pr. A. J. Dickinson, pastor of the First Baptist church here, ' said a Birmingham nan, who returned from Gadsden yesterday.
 ''Dr Dickinson's subject was The Sane tity of Civil Authority" and he took oe- casion to denounce the recent lynching there. He considered that the home, the state or civil authority, and the church were three divinely appointed institutions, each distinct and yet correlated, and that to defy the civil authorities in the right ful and conscientious discharge of their duties was an awful crime within itself. He emphasized that it was murder for any but the duly constituted authori- ties to take the life of a prisoner what ever his crime
 'Dr. J. c. Dickinson Is splendid scholar and in his delivery has much of the same impressiveness that Is charac- teristic of Dr. A. J. Dickinson of this city. I noticed that not only has the lynching been denounced by the bar but from every pulpit 1t has been condemned, and the lynchers have no sympathizers. :"

Popular Elections.

Deputy Sheriff Albert Stradford has written the following letter to the Cos mopolitan magazine regarding the meth cd of eleoting United States senators in Alabama
 'I have been an interested reader of your magazine for years and lately have been much interested in the story of David Graham Phillips, entitled The Treason of the Senate.' The idea ad- vanced in your magazine, as well as in similar stories in contemporary periodi- calls causes me to ask why it has never occurred to any other people or state to adopt the policy inaugurated in my state several years ago of placing the names of candidates for the United States Senate on the ticket at our primary elections and binding our representatives in the legislature to elect the one or the ones which receive the highest of the popular vote.
 Alabama has long since set the pace for genuine representation in the United States Senate and if this simple expedient was adopted by parties in their conven- tions and primaries throughout the na- tion this bug-bear of trust-ridden repre- sentation would be quickly disposed of as each United States Senator would be as amenable to popular diepleasure as a constable"
