Timely Offer of Appointment as Min
ister to France Ended the Great
Journalists Criticism of the
administration.

The following hitherto unpublished
anecdote, related to me by one who
was a lifelong friend of ThurloW
Weed, illustrates Lincoln's supreme
gift as a politician in the best mean
ing Of the term.
In the darkest days of the civil war,
when there had been severe and con-
tinued reverses to the union army,
when it was known to Mr.. Lincoln
that France and England were con-
templating interference, or, at least,
the raising of the blockade, and when
Secretary of the Treasury Chase was
trying to establish a satisfactory cur
rency system, the New York Herald,
in an earnest, not unkindly, but Sc
verely critical way, reproached the ad-
miniStration at Washington. At that
time the Herald was regarded in Eu-
rope as the leading American newspa-
per, and because of this fact the posi-
ton taken by the founder of the Her
aid, James Gordon Bennett, gave Mr..
Lincoln serious concern. Ie was anX-
ious to obtain the support of, and to
put an end to criticism by, the Herald.
He did it by one master stroke of tact,
skillful diplomacy and an intuitive I'M
derstanding of the character of Mr..
Bennett
Late one afternoon Thurlow Weed,
the master politician of New York
state, called by appointment upon
James Gordon Bennett at his beautiful
country place, as it then was, on the
upper end of Manhattan island.
The two great journalists strolled
for an hour or so through the beautiful
grounds and national park that was
a part of Mr. Benefits country estate.
They talked of men and events for a
while, and also of the growth of New
York city, which, Mr. Bennett said,
would ultimately convert the upper
end of Manhattan island, then a for
est, into a residence district.
At last Mr.. Weed said-and | am re-
peating the words as they were told
to me by Mr.. Weeds friend
'Mr. Bennett, | have recently seen
President Lincoln. He is greatly dis
turbed about the situation in France.
You know, of course. that Louis Napo-

A severe earthquake occurred IN
Guam, causing considerable damage,

There were no casualties.
Evidence is multiplying that Zelaya
intends to retire from the presidency
of Nicaragua. Reports to that effect
are general throughout that country
and the American consular officers
seem to give credence to them.
Though official reticence concerning
the exact state of King LeOpolds
health is maintained, information
from private sources is that his con-

A Monarch DYING.

Brussels-Leopold II, king of the
Belgians, is making a desperate fight
with death, and the odds are strongly
against the aged monarch. AS a last
resort the surgeons knife will be tried
tomorrow. If the operation is sue
cessful King Leopold may live. If it
fails the end is inevitable. All will
depend upon the kings strength and
vitality, which are fast ebbing.
Rheumatism has already conquered
the aged and wasted frame. Dropsy
has developed and obstruction of the
intestines is in evidence.

candidate out of bed, saw him start
visibly as he read the slip of paper,
and carried back with me his assur.
ance that he would be at the newspa
per office as soon as he could dress.
1t was midnight when he entered.
What is this about a telegram"
asked Gov. English, when the formal
greetings were over.
Gov. Jewell read the telegram, and
then handed the slip of paper upon
which it was written to Gov. English.
This is, indeed, surprise and irri.
tation to me-" said Gov. English. Il

continued, mot to make it necessary
for me to assure you that | would not

There is every reason to believe
that next day Gov. English communi.

Recognition of the work this season

expression at times in ways somewhat
derogatory to his teammates. Re-

Smuggling of Diamonds.

Diamond dealers in New York city
as we'll as jewelry trade papers, agree
in saying that the smuggling of the
precious stones has increased greatly
1t is professional, not amateur SNUG.
Cling. The professionals, it is stated
are both more active and more sys
tematic, and are said to be in collision
with certain dealers.
1t is said that customs inspectors
are investigating these reports. The
professional smuggling awakens re.
sentiment because the smuggled dia
monds now are. brought into the or,
binary channels of trade and so are
likely to cause more disturbance in
the business and in values than when
tourists brought in gems for their own
use.
Ludwig Nissen, an officer of the Dia.
mond Manufacturers association, said
some time ago that the value of dia.
monds brought in surreptitiously was
probably as large as that of these com.
ing openly through the custom house.

would have been out of the country
when the Republican national conven.
ton of 1880 met. He would have been
our minister at either The Hague, Bel
GUM, ,wiuzerland, or Denmark, of
three years standing. He would have
lost his immediate personal grip on
New York politics. He would not have
headed the New York delegation to
the convention. He would have been
'out of sight, out Of mind" And be-
cause of this fact, in all probability,
when the New York delegates were
given the privilege of selecting the
candidate for vice-president the name
of Chester A. Arthur would not have
been considered. And so another than
it's bearer would have succeeded James
R. Garfield as president of the United
States.

TAFT TO URGE REVISION
RECENT DECISION OF SUPREME
COURT AN ARGUMENT.
General Revision to Be Chief Fea-
ture of the Presidents Mes
sage in December.

Washington.-The decision of the su.
preme court in the commodities clause
case will be used by President Taft
as n more convincing argument il
favor of a general revision of all the
interstate and antitrust
laws.
Various recommendations that such
a disposition of these laws be made
along the lines of clearness and GER
tainty will form the chief feature of
the presidents message to congress next
December. 1t can be laid down almost
as a certainty that one of these recon-
mendations will be that congress enact
a law f%orbidding a railroad company to
own or operate directly or indirectly,
through ownership or otherwise, any
concern the products of which it carries
over its lines.
In other words, congress will be
called upon to close up the gap opened
by this decision of the supreme court
and to bring back common carriers en-
gagged in interstate I'M to the
common law basis, namely, that rail-
roads shall only engage in the business
which they were organized to carry on.

Agricultural High Schools.

Notwithstanding the doubt and specu'
lation in regard to the disposition OF the
Smith county case, involving the con
stitutionality of the county agricultural
high school law, there are those who
have already begun operations and made
good Roadway who will not stand back
or hesitate in carrying out their ar
rangements. In some of the counties
the buildings and equipment are well
in hand, and it will be carried on, re-
CARELESS of any litigation that might
have been precipitated in other coun-
ties, of which there is so far only one.
According to information received here,
there is no better agricultural high
school plant than that which the people
of Pearl River county have provided for,
and which is being built at Poplarville,
the school site having been located in
the finest residence section of the town,
and is calculated to cost not less than
