Euu az a Birth Certificate.

A singular birth certificate was
submitted at meeting Of the school
attendance committee at Norwich
Union. A widow had been called upon
to prove that her daughter had
reached the school exemption age
She produced an egg, beautifully col
ored in purple, yellow and cream
wherein, in almost copperplate char,
acters, the name and date ct nativity
were picked out in white, together
with the text: THE Lord shall guide
thee continually" and Teach me to
do Thy will" This novel certificate
was the only record possessed by the
mother, and, after being much ad.
mired by the committee, was accepted
as evidence.

proof-readerx eyes get balied up at times and Sbstinately refuse to see what should be as plain as pig tracks. Sometimes an error Is marked in one place and the correction is made in another. So 1t is that the most care- fully conducted newspaper may have cause of complaint and explanation, but not all of them get out of it like The Eagle does, in this way;
 In the first Editorial, in yesterdays Eagle, was a typographical error The error was not corrected on discovery CD because the article was as a whole able; CD because, with the error cor rected, the article would have been really too able; and (3) because, when the error was discovered, the issue had been on the press so long, there was not time to correct Ht!
 The Eagle has some able editorials beyond a doubt. Perhaps 1t was well for it's readers that the one which was really too able" was disfgured. The readers might not have been able to digest 1t. T never dare to write as funny as I can." wFote Oliver Wendell Holmes on one occasion, and we sug- gest that The Eagle will not again attempt to write as able as 1t can. lest unpleasant results follow. However. it's apology for an errIr Is quite out of the ordinary.

THE CUBAN NEGRO.
Demand for OAice is Causing MagoOn
 Trouble.


 Demand for Omce is Causing MasoOn
 Trouble. Washington Special.
 The race question in Cuba, according to advices received here by officials of the government, is fast assuming an ugly and ominous phase, and the Uni- ted States may be compelled for the good of law and order on the island, to take strong hand in affairs. Ad- vices from Cuba indicate that the black population of the island is de- manding recognition from Governor Magoon. It is understood that one of the first matters to demand the atten' tion of President Roosevelt upon. his return from the Isthmus of Panama will be the Cuban situation.
 The refusal of Governor Magoon to appoint to high offices all the leaders of the recent revolution which action is thoroughly approved by this gov ernment, is causing the trouble in Cuba, and may be the cause of an- other outbreak more serious than the one recently terminated.
 According to the private advices re- ceived by government officials, the negroes of Cuba, forming a large por- tion of its population, and under the complete domination of Jose Miguel Gomez are demanding the appointment of their leaders to important positions under Governor Magoon's government. and have openly threatened that unless their demands are granted they will defend their honor" by taking the field. When Secretary Taft and Assis- tant Secretary Bacon returned from their mission to Cuba they freely pre- dicted that it would take months and months of careful conduct of affairs in Cuba before 1t would be possible to allow the turbulent people of that island to again attempt self-govern- ment. In the opinion of high officials of the War Department this prediction is now coming true. The situation in Cuba is getting worse yarher than better. It has been suggested that possibly if the elections were held in December instead of next spring it might prevent further outbreaks But this proposition is not meeting with general favor in this country. If conditions continue to get worse in Cuba there is no doubt that the provisional government will be aban- doned, martial law established and a | large force of additional troops sent to the island. The War Department is ready at any time to send another expedition of 5000 men to Cuba, and Is keeping transports at Newport News in readiness to sail for the island on the slightest notice.
 The outbFek of the black population in Cuba against the authority of Gov l ernor Magoon, representing the United | States, will be met by the army of the | United States. The fact was made perfectly plain at the War Department | by an official there who is thoroughly eognizant of the plans of the admin | istration.

NOTHING DOING.

From all accounts the visit of Sec retary Metcalf to San Francisco will turn out pretty much as did the march Of the famous King of France who marched up the hill and then--march- ed down again" From what we have been able to learn about 1t he was sent to San Francisco by the administration on what may be called a double mis- sion. He was first to reason with the school authorities and thus induce them to recede from their position excluding Japanese children from the white schools, but if that was not success ful, he was to resort to bullying, and, by threatening them with the corrective powers of the government force them to open the schools. In short, he was represented as having the big. stick ready as the representative of the Pres ident and the administration.
 WeIl he has apparently had his trip for nothing. So far as accomplishing anything goes, he might have remained in Washington and saved trouble and expense. He might also have saved the administration from being forced to admit failure, for 1t has failed, If we may judge from what we learn from San Francisco and other sources. In fact, the proposed interference on the part of the government has made the authorities of the city more deter mined to maintain their position, and it is stated that the. Legislature of Cal ifornia vii enact laws more drastic and exclusive than the ones now in force. There are a few who think with the administration, but as The Rich mond News-Leader looks at the mat ter, the Californians have the support and the sympathy of the country at large, and the Federal action in the premises is resented and condemned. It is regarded as an eneroachment upon and an interference in the guaranteed and reserved rights of State, which, if not rebuked, will prove serious menace to our whole system. In such circumstances it can be readily compre- hended that the people generally will elect to stand with California in any policy touching the brown peril she may find necessary for the maintenance of her civilization"

Hn sPENT FREELY.

MT. Hearst's statement of his election expenses is misleading. He files an account of $256, ,S7O.22, which he says is the sum he spent fin his efforts to win his election" This we understand to be the amount expended after his nomination. Just how much it cost him to secure the nominations from the two organizations he represented will probably not be known. In his cam paigns for Mayor and for Governor it is reasonable to suppose that he blew in not less than one million dollars, and met only defeat
 While a million dollars Is not a large amount for a man as wealthy as he is reported to be, 1t Is certainly a vast sum to be spent as a corruption fund, which 1t largely was. It shows conclusively two facts, One is that he was willing to spend money almost without limit to gratify his overmas- tering ambition, and the other that pol tiles in New York is very largely a fees in that city and state are simply matters of bargain and sale, where the man who pays the most money expects to get the goods. The bill of expenses filed by MT. Hughes Is un- reasonably small, though 1t perhaps only represents the amount that he really paid out of his own money How ever that may be, Mir. Hearst has made it plain that money is nc object to him when he thinks there is a good office in sight. And by the way. we wonder who got that extra 22 cents2

MCCALL TO PROTEST.
At the Presidential Interference With Congress. .-

Congress. Washington Special.
 In a contribution to 0ne of the current magazines, Representative Mc- Call of Massachusetts, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, has raised an issue with the White House which may become debatable during the winter session of Con- gress. He is a Republican of inde- pendence, and in his article strongly deplores the tendency of the country to submit to executive interference with the legislative branch of the gov ernment. He declares that when the executive sends a special message to Congress about amendments to bill pending and discusses and urges them, the executive by that act virtually takes part in the debates of Congress
 Mr. Mccall says that the American people express deep interest in the feeble developments of the doupa n Russia, applauding the efforts of the Russian people in reaching out for popular government, but at the same time the citizens of this country ap- pear to be blind to the opposite drift of affairs at home, which, he says, tend to the level of South American republics, where the Congress is but the creature of the presidential office.
 A number of Republicans are known to hold similar views to these ex- pressed by MT. Mccall, and some have threatened to voice them. They have hesitated for the reason that the Dem ocrats monopolized that line of argu- ment, and Republicans were loath to swell the Democratic chorus of criti- cism
 Repeatedly in the last session Rep resentatives and Senators of both parties commented upon the alleged interference of the President in legis- lative affairs beyond the limit of his authority. Many were deterred at that time from giving vent to heir feel ings, owing to the state of public sen timent over the railroad rate bill and the possibility of their being wrong fully classified. That limitation will be lacking this session, and some strong talk may be expected.
 It Is not thought that the President will try to jam through any new meas ures of legislation at the short session except the currency reform legislation. He will make recommendations as to taxation of wealth, but even his san guine nature. it is said, could hardly expect action upon so important a sub ject in session of practically eight working weeks.
 The question of whetl ,r currency reform legislation will succeed Is said by those in position to judge to de- pend entirely on the method of lts presentation and the character of tho influence back of it.

PoLIcE CHIEF sCoREs.
Injunction Application Against Mem
 phis BIueeOat is Refused.

phiS BlueeOaG AA AaeAHbeus
 Memphis, Tenn, Nov. l9.-on the ground that the proper remedy would have been quo warranto proceedings, Chancellor w. H. Heiskell today de- livered an opinion refusing the appli- cation of the city of Memphis and Mayor James H. Malone. for an injunction to restrain Chief of Police George T. O'Haver from interfering with Sergeant William J. Hayes, appointed acting chief by the Mayor, or from entering police headquarters, or in any manner attempting to exercise the functions of his office until his trial by the Execu- tive Council on charges of insubordi- nation is settled at the regular meet ing In December.
 After handing down his opinion Chan cellor Heiskell took occasion to state that if the application for an injunc- tion had been made on election day when Chief O'Haver was suspended by the Mayor, and refused to recognize the suspension. he would have issued it, but inasmuch as two weeks have passed and there is now no apprehen' sion of riot or disorder. he did mol think the court had jurisdiction.

Hr DID TT NICELY.

When it comes to expressing things in regular grandiose style commend us to the Spanish official every time. The meilIauous Greek and the sonorous Latin are not in 1t with the language of spaIn's children when occasion de- mands fine words, For example, Presi- dent Amador welcomed President Roosevelt during his visit to Panama, and here's a sample of the way he went at it:
 When passing through the Canal Zone this morning you beard ireauent the nurderous. blows of cannon. They were the explosive blows, of Science de- manding 8 free pass for the commerce of the world.
 That was ever so good. When the President and his party heard those explosions, they were doubtless re- minded of those stirring lines
 Cannon to the right of them,
 Cannon to the left of them,
 Yolleyed and thundered.
 or something of the kind, and perhaps expected to find the entire Panama army of eleven men and twenty-two officers bearing down on them with battery of artillery. Not that the Presi- dent would have been frightened. A regiment of bob-carts wouldn't cause him to turn a hair, much less a Span fsh muzzle loader. For all that, we've no doubt it was pleasant to learn from such high authority that the popping he heard was not due to "the murderous blows of cannon" at all, but were the explosive blows of Science" Science. we believe, is not really in the habit Of making such loud noises, but prob ably departed from the nnle in this case because the President was to the fore. He dee-lights in loud noises. Sometimes he makes them himself,
 And see how neatly Amador puts 1t when he refers to old Mother Science "demanding a free pass for the com merce of the world" Free passes will soon be out of date, by the way, but that will not jar Science or Panama. The commerce of the world is waiting for a pass and will have 1t or some- body shall suffer. But we wonder if those explosions were not in the nature of a bluf-sort of belated Fourth of July performance to enthuse the Pres ident and lead him to believe that the Isthmus is being cracked open like a walnut so that the ships may begin their passage? We have heard of such things, and it may be that kind of nake-believe was arranged for the ben eft of the visiting party. All the same, senor Amador put 1t to the President in fine shape.

 The men gained an increase in wages, but the working day will continue at twelve hours. The strikers had also to waive their demands that the shop be made a union one. The men. however, are given the right to maintain their own union.
