 Washington, June 11.--"Cannon and Hughes in 190S,'' is the ticket as seen by Assistant Secretary of State F. F. Loomis, who has just returned tvom a tour of New York State. Tier, is evidently golDg to be bard fight in the Empire State over who shall con trol the State delegation, President
 Roosevelt or Governor Hughes. IL
 will not be open warfare, and when the slate is finally arranged outsiders will believe firmly that it was the re-
 suit of harmonious party action. But
 there will be a fight on just t'e same, and "Uncle Joe" evidently is nut g7!D g
 to be out of it. It will be remembered that he recently paid visit to Gov ernor Hughes and bad long and earnest conference with him. Speak CT Cannon's activities just at the pres
 ent time are causing the other Pres idential candidates some sleep1ess nights. Just when it was believed the
 administration had kicked large hole in the Cannon boom, Uncle Joe" popped up at Albany, was found day or so later ill New York in con ference with officers of the Asreriean Protective Tariff League, ard later he appeared in the South, where he pat
 ted on the back all the Republicans south of the Mason and Dixon line and told them what noble people they were. Not even excepting Sena- tor Knox, "Uncle Joe' was plainly the livest wire in the whole Presidential conduit.

Evidence is accumulating that With the completion of the Hennepin canal from the Mississippi river to LaSalle, H., where the improvement Of the Illinois river begins, extending to lie drainage canal, there will be opened up a clear routs from Chicago to the Mississippi river and by that means to all of the Mississippi Valley states. The effects of this will be the regula- ! tion of existing freight rates to an enormous territory. On coal, for in stance, the rate from Chicago to the Mississippi will be about fifty cents ton against a present charge Of $1.3O and a higher rate for salt and other bulky freights The states of the Ohio Valley will share in this reduc' ton of freight charges, so widespread will be the effect of water transporta- ton in competition with that by rail. This phase of the situation is one that the National Rivers and Harbors Con- gress has long sought to impress on the minds of the American public and on Congress. It's contention all along has been that not less than $5,OOO,O0o a year should be appropriated for l. just this class of improvement work, and it is very likely that the Sixtieth Congress will be even more generous in the bill providing funds for water ways development than it's predeces- sOr.
 The last few days in Washington really should go down in history as Confederate week. The men in gray and the Daughters of the Confederacy practically took possession of the na- tional capital, and for the first time in history column in gray marched down Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the White House. It was pathetic handful of the former war riors under "Jeb" Stewart and Stone wall Jackson Each of the marchers carried his old arms whether 1t was the cavalry saber or the heavy musket affected by the infantry of those stir ring times Headed by band, the veterans of a passing day marched down the avenue with stars and bars luttering beside the flag of the unit ed country.

Unless somebody can shut off Justice Harlan of the supreme court, it is highly probable that Secretary Taft never will decrease his gifth. The Kentuckian is d frequent caller on the secretary of war, and the real reason for his numerous visits seems to be to un- load upon the secretary the latest Of his large stock of funny stories MT. Taft never is too busy to see Justice Harlan and on the occasion of each visit the state, war and navy department building is shaken to the rafters with the roars of laughter that come from behind the closed door of the war secre- tafys private office. Justice liar Ian himself is no lightweight and he laughs in as deep a bass as MT. aft. When the two laugh together over good joke the windows rattle in the White House across the way.

movement that will be of the greatest value to the public school system of the United States is to be organized in the George Washing ton University. It will be known as the division of education and it is intended to fit students for higher positions ill the public school service; to aid in raising the stand ards of educational practice and to increase the efficiency of public education. The founding of such a department here in the capital is especially happy, for the students will have the privilege of free ac- cess to the library and archives of the bureau of education for the purpose of systematic study and research. The establishment of such a division in the institution
 is in keeping with the efforts being
 made by the George Washington University to enlarge it's scope of work and take the place it be-
 lieves is it's due as the great na- tional institution of learning. The request made by the trustees Ot the institution to the great Ameri- can public for subscriptions to an endowment fund is meeting already with some response, which the friends of the institution think ! will be much greater once the 1 patriotic character of the plan is 1 more fully understood.

 ment has the greatest encourage l ment from President Roosevelt Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker

President Roosevelt is thorough ly wrought up over the public lands convention, which is to be held in Denver beginning June Is by au- thority of the Colorado legislature. Action hostile to the presidents policies regarding public lands and forests is regarded as probable, as Mir Roosevelt has no intention of letting his interests be jeapordized without putting up some kind of 9 fight. For this reason he is send ing out Secretaries Wilson and Garfield. Commissioner of Public Lands Ballinger, Chief Forester Pinchot and Director Newell, of the reclamation service.

The Two Reports Compared.

If the Census Ginners' report for
this season is as reliable as in past
years we do not see how it is posi-
ble for the actual growth of the 1907
crop to reach the figures given out
by the Agricultural Department on
the 10th. We do not think that any
more cotton has been held back in
the seed by farmers this season than
usual, and that owing to the open
fall weather the crop has been gath
cred and ginned up more closely
than a year ago. The tremendous
shortage is undoubtedly in the States
west of the Mississippi river, and
this is shown in both the Ginners'
and the Bureau reports. The es-
innate Of the Bureau for the past
two or three years has fallen con-
siderably short of the final Outturn
and doubtless the officials this year
have undertaken to remedy a repe-
titiOn of this defect in the forecast
for the crop of 1907. Assuming this
to be true it may be taken for grant
ed that the estimate of Il, ,67S, 900
bales represents the maximum yield
based on an estimated increase Of
4 1000, 900 acres to the acreage OF
last June over the acreage of 1906.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Justice
David J. Brewer, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, to-day
spoke at the Mount Pleasant Con-
gregational church in this city, on
Our National Opportunities, .
while he dwelt especially upon the
power of Christianity to uplift the
masses of the people and of its eff
cheney in bringing the immigrants
who swarm to the United States in
to harmony with American institu-
tions, he incidentally took occasion
to speak of the influence of special
interests upon the welfare of the
people generally.
High and low, rich and poor,
he declared, should be protected.
We can never come To the full
measure Of that truth SO long as we
permit any group of financiers, any
persons or corporations to crush the
individual, nor can we allow any
labor organization to dictate any
course we should follow. F"

IN MEMORiAM.
MATTE DALTON GLADSTONE.

A note of sadness fell on the glad
Christmastide when the many warm
friends here, of Mrs. W. w. Gladstone,
of Danville, Virginia, received the
sad news of her death, which occur
red in that city, December IA.
Mrs. Gladstone is affectionately re-
membered as Miss Matte Dalton, of
Aberdeen, second daughter of Gen.
S.A. Dalton, sister to Mr.. s. a. Dalton,
editor of The Weekly, and one of the
loveliest and most highly esteemed
of the three happy girls who filed the
old home here with Joy and gladness.
Beautiful memories of her high
Christian character, her answering
loyalty to friends and to duty, and
the bright optimistic view she ever
held upon every phase of life's chang
ing scenes, will ever be cherished by
her many devoted friends, who deep
ly regret her untimely death.
Many years ago she went as bride
and stranger to her new home in
Danville. where new friendships warm
and true were formed. They loved
her for the sunshine and sweetness
she brought into their lives, but her
heart and memory turned with the
tenderest recollections to her loved
ones and the old friends at Aberdeen.
Far away in her Virginia home, IN
''the silent city of the dead" >" they
laid her gently To sleeD her casket
covered with the roses of love and
regret, while the JOY bells of heaven
rang the anthem of her welcome
among the angels.
SO shall the loved ones fade
Feature BY feature line on lovely line
For all our love. alas
From twilight into darkness shall they pass.
We in that dark shall see them never more.
But from spirits they shall not be bauished.
For on and on shall the sweet music pour
That was the soul Of them. the loved the van
ished
And we who listen, shall not lose them quite
IN that mysterious night"
