Perfect Climate for Five Months.

The climate of Cuba is perfect for five
months in the year. The city OF Havana
is as healthy as any place of its size in the
United States. and there is no longer any
danger Of yellow fever or other contagious
diseases as long as the present sanitary
laws are enforced. The atmosphere is for
eign. The appearance and customs of the
people are 50 unlike what We see at home
that visitor is constantly entertained; the
roads about Havana are perfect for auto
mobiiing-there is usually an opera here
during the winter months; many other at
fractions are furnished by the American
military contingent as well as The natives;
there are tennis courts. golf links and
plenty of aut1-sobiles for hire. and all kinds
of Interesting diversions for those who
like TO be entertained, while health seekers
can find quiet, restful places in several parts
of the island. With the present limited

would not only strengthen the
seventeenth article of the present
instrument but would probably eli
inmate it. If the Legislature wants
constitutional reforms there is a
better way to proceed than by call
ing a constitutional convention.
The enactment of legislation to en-
force the seventeenth article of the
present constitution will afford am.
pie restraints for railroads and trusts
and Blakeslee's amendment to the
Dunsmore railway commission bill
to prevent the watering of stocks is
all that IS needed in addition.

For the first time Huston and San
del son were brought together dur.
ing the session Of last "Wednesday.
A Mr.. Hamilton of Washing ton
testified that after he had been dick
ering with Huston for some time
they came to an agreement in the
main but Huston added that he
had better go to see Sanderson"
who told him that he didn't want
him to bid to any one else" Ano-
ther interesting witness of the week
was a man named DeKosenko,
president of the Stirling Bronze
company Of Philadelphia. Some
time ago he had published state
ment in one of the Philadelphia
newspapers which was damaging to
the conspirators and the feature of
his testimony was an attempt to
contradict himself without being
caught. In this he failed, of course,
for the newspaper representative
who obtained the interview follow
ed him in the witness stand gave
the substance of his conversation
and proved that in the preliminary
work "Sanderson, Huston and De-
Kosenko were altogether in the
matter" Together these witnesses
have proved collusion and couspi-
racy beyond the shadow of doubt.
MACHINE NOT CONVERTED.
That the machine is neither con-
trite nor improved in morals has
been revealed in the legislation of
last week. The bill of Senator Nc
Ilhenny of Philadelphia, the pur-
pose of which was to make the
voters assistance clause of the pre-
sent ballot law helpful expedient
rather than an agency for bribing
voters, was defeated at the instance
of Senator McNichol. Nobody
would object to assistance to a man
who is physically incapable of mark
ing his ballot and the McIlhenny
bill required that that condition be
sworn to in order to obtain assist
ance. From the beginning, how
ever, the plan has been employed
by the bribers Of voters and the
machine made a desperate resist
ance to any change.
The proposition to allow the peo-
pie to vote on the question of a
choice for United States Senator is
being fought with great energy by
the same element. 1t is universally
agreed that the passage of such a
measure would eliminate Pen-ose
from the Senatorial equation at the
next election for that Office and his
friends are very anxious. The ex-
pertinent has been tried in several
Western States and with consider
able satisfaction. But it is not popu-
lar with the Penrose machine
though l can't understand why
they oppose it. With the facilities
for bribing voters unimpaired and
the corporations including the Stan
dard Oil company for the present
Senator he could certainly get
test vote in his favor if half the
electors had to be paid for such a
result.
The Nesbit bill providing for the
election, next November, of dele
gates to constitutional convention
hy practically unanimous vote. 1t
would be difficult to conceive more
dangerous measure. In the present
frame of the corporate mind it is a
safe guess that the majority of dele
gates chosen to a constitutional con-
vention would be ready to do about
anything that the corporations want
and a constitution framed now
