NOT \ DICTATOR.
President Palma Declares He Has
Given Cuba Constitutional Gov
ernment.

Havana. Sept 5.-President Palma,
| in an interview tonight put an end to
any expectation that he would make
a.nv concession whatever TO the rebels
bevond the offer Of pardon already
extended. The president said he could
not possibly make such concessions
eithe., now II hereafter. and could not
see in any event what the government
could offer beyond what had already
been offered.
American intervention, the presi-
dent said, had not been considered
because the government believed it
could end the insurrec1ion without as
sistance. The president said:
s.You may say emphatically that
rumors of any action by the govern
ment in any way looking to COM
promise or making concessions to
the rebels are absolutely false and un-
founded, for the present or for the
future. 1t is impossible that any con-
tingency could bring it about.
sI cannot see what the government
could offer to the rebels except to al
low them to return peacefully to their
homes, provided they surrender and
give up their arms. AS to any private
efforts to obtain peace by any organi-
zation or individual influence, would
be only too glad to see it brought
about, and pledge my word that there
will be no prosecution Of those who
committed this lnpatriotic de-
Concerning American intervention
President Palma said:
.'That matter has not been under
consideration because we believe we
can control the situation without any
outside aid We shall put down this
senseless rebellion by force, and we
feel amply confident of our ability TO
do it. We were not prepared for a
blow of such character, although
we knew several months ago that
they were conspiring; but we soon
will have sufficient men and arms to
dominate the rebels. There may be
some isolated encounters and 6esul-
tory fighting, but we will be in a posi-
ton to protect all interests.
sThe people are not in sympathy
with the rebels. There is a lawless
element which always takes advan-
tage of disturbed conditions to rob
and pillage, but I have confidence in
the loyalty Of the masses
Concerning the reported quarrel
with Vice President Mendez Capote
and the rumors that the latter is try
ing to have him deposed, President
Palma said:
..such a report is malicious slam
der on a distinguished patriot and
loyal friend of the administration
and my personal friend. The vice
president was in the country on a va
cation, and ne advised me promptly
of his homecoming, and has been
here daily assisting US with his advice

when the ,ccal press ard 1nany indl-

be justified in arresting some Of the

THAT CLEMSON COW DEAL.
Capt. stribI;ng Has Something More
Definite TO Say.

Anderson, Sept. 4-dr. ). 3. Strib-
ling. one of the committee to pur-
chase some cattle for the experiment
tai station. at Clemson College, has
given out the following statement
in regard to the Shanslin cow trade
that has been so widely advertised:
81 think I have a right TO answer
any newspaper article criticisi2g pub
lie matters, where I was personally
mentioned in its connection, without
permission from Clemson's trustees or
asking their aid in the matter The
public has a right to know al the par
ticuIars OF matters concerning public
affairs, Notwithstanding Trustee Sinp-
sons, opinion to the contrary. Ine
following is from the Newberry OBJ
server:
in talking to a trustee of Glenn
son College with reference to pur-
chase Of nine cows from Mr.. Shank
lin for $500, about which J. c.
stribling has had much TO say in the
newspapers, the following were
learned:
.The. college gets what is known. as
the Adams fund from Congress with
which to make experiments in stock
raising. This fund must be used be-
fore a fixed date Of it must be re-
turned to the United States treasury.
A committee was appointed to buy
cattle. Mr. Striblng-not a trustee
being on it. The committee looked
at many cattle; among tae number
Mr.. Shanklin,s-a fine group Of
thoroughbreds. On the last day Pf
buying cattle, R. w. Siznpson-the
trustee to whom Mr.. Stribling refers
was at Pendleton-his home-and
suggested to the committee that
they had better take Mr.. Shankhn's
cattle, if he would agree to sell them;
and, he agreeing, the sale was made.
..And that is all there is to it.
This from the Newberry Observer
lacks q good deal of being all there
is to the affair
Trustee Simpson was not at his
home, but at the shanklin COW lot on
the occasion mentioned above. Meth
er is it true that this coy trade was
made on the last day for buying,
but about week after the time was
out, this fact opening the field to
every breeder of dairy cattle in the
State, with or without options.
There is something significant
about the way this Newberry trustee
puts himself and the public on notice
that I was not a trustee of the col
Iege. The significant meaning. here
seems to signify that as was rot
trustee and that Simpson was, it was
sufficient justification for what he did.
Finally, I say this much that
Trustee Simpson had succeeded in
placing his friend and neighbor's cat
tie at Clemson at a very fine price,
and I want him to have credit for it.
We want every tub to sit upon its
own bottom and every man to tote
his own skillet that is about all there
is to this part
When investigation time comes,
ali these charges should so before
disinterested committeemer appoin-
ted by the legislature. If Trustee
Simpson wants to investigate him
self before his board let him do So
Judging from what the Newberry
trustee has said in the Observer, one
man from the outside would have no
better show for fairness at a Glenn
son investigation than I had at the
closing Of tbs cow trade--Green-
vile News.

OF all the great railroad mergers
In the past the taking OF the u
linois Central railroad by the Harri-
man interests seems to have capped
the climax. 1t seems to be taken
With . great deal Of authority that
Illinois Central has been gobbled up.
This great railroad, with arteries
extending clear to the gulf and east
and west,.is the only one Of the great
corporations whose stock was distrI-
lbuted over the country in thousands
of hands and among so many stock
holders. il has been the pride of
President Stnyyesant Fish that the
Illinois Central was beyond:.the reach
of the merger process, for it was
thought that the stock was to wide
u distributed to ever bring it into a
bunch that would permit Of c%oDsoli-
dalton. MI. Hartman, who is con
sidered the chief Of railroad mer-
gers. found a way in which to bring
his forces together for a control of
that great corporation.

Tonic Effect OF Good Music.

Success Magazine: Good @usic is a
powerful tonic to many people, es-
pecially those suffering from melan-
cholia. 1t lifts them out of their
solemn moods, dispels gloom and
dependency, kills discouraged feel
ings and gives new hope, new life
AND new vigor. 1t seems to put Il
great many people into proper tune.
1t gives them the keynote of truth
and beauty, strikes the chord of har-
mony, dispels discord from the life,
scatters clouds and brings sunshine.
All good music is a character
builder. because its constant sugges-
tion of harmony, order and beauty
puts the mind into a normal atti-
tude. Music clears the cobwebs out
of many minds, so that they can
think better, act better and live
better. Some writer's ale dependent
upon music for their inspiration and
their mood. Somehow it brings the
muse to them. 1t adds %brilliancy to

which they cannot seem to get in any
other way.
Good music seems to give US a
touch of the divine and to put us in
contact with divinity. 1t drives
out evil thoughts. making US
asha med of them. IT. lifts MS above
petty annoyaEces and little worries
of life, and gives us a glimpse Of
the ideal which the actual is con-
stantly obscuring.

Ten or twelve years ago we of
South Dakota just commeced to find
out that cOr could be successfully
grown on these broad rich prairies.
When the settlers first commenced to
come in twenty and twenty-five
years ago, corn was not considered
anything of a reliable crop. II
some was planted and it managed to
pull through. the farmers were that
much ahead. However, the area
for corn growing has spread with
wonderful rapidity in tie past eight
or ten years, and up here in South
Dakota we have established quite a
record, Of which the greater portion
Of#us we're not cognizant until the
government crop report put this
state up in the top row Of the corn.

on this feature the Commercial West

parlson with other corn states in
the union:
Comparing this record with the
reports on the other states, it is
found that South Dakota grows
more ocrn, by 3.OOO,O 600 bushels than

Than the state Of Michigan and only
100000 bushels less than tine state

more corn than any OF the southern
states except Kentucky. Tennessee,

experience is valuable in teaching
