OUR NIcARAGUAN TROUBLE.

The hanging of two Americans by
order of President Zelaya. in Mic
aragua, upon the representation
they were acting as Off GERS and spies
in the insurgent army, may lead to
some very drastic measures upon tine
part Of this government. President
Taft acted very promptly in the
matter, demanding foil and complete
explanation and reparation. pending
which two of our cruisers were at
once ordered to proceed to Nicaragua
one to the west coast and another to
the east. There are now nine u. s.
war ships there or in the near
vicinity and the news dispatches say
that several transports are prepared to
rush 1000 trained soldiers to the scene
OF trouble at once should it prove
necessary Several hundred marines
are already landed to look after the
interests and safety of American
citizens residing in Nicaragua

are accustomed to treat them.
President Castro, the late bullying
president of Venezuela, who was a

years, was a striking example of this
fact.
Zelaya seems likely to have TO do
some lively stepping or get soundly

The murder OF one girl and mys-
terious disappearance of couple of
others in Milwaukee followed by the
facts that have been discovered
through the detention of fourteen old
Edna Taube in a disreputable house
with opium joint attach ments, have
at last aroused the authorities of that
city to take some sort of vigorous
action. One day last week one Frank
Patosey was brought before the court
charged with throwing his arm
around a strange girl whom he met
upon the street at o'clock in the
evening. The girl proved to be
possessed of athletic tendencies and
gave him stinging blow in the face,
and thus made her escape from more
serious trouble. 1t seems to be
getting really unsafe for women TO
be upon the streets of that city un-
protected after nightfall.

Now we are treated to another
feature of the Cook and Peary north
pole squabble. Cook is reported to
have completed his report to prove
that he actually reached the pole as
claimed, and his secretary has been
started for Copenhagen with the re-
port. 1t is also alleged that he has
had information from detectives in his
employ that an attempt will be made
by some of Peary's emissaries to steal
this report before it can reach Copen-
hagen, but the latter may be only a
shrewd advertising scheme. A state
ment is also made that this report
which his secretary is conveying is
only dummy, and that the genuine
report actually went forward secretly,
several Gays earlier. Such a business.

Walter Wellman, the Washington

Walter Wellman, the Washington
newspaper corresp ,ndent who has
made couple of spectacular failures
in what were stated as attempts to
reach the north pole by the balloon
route. is out with a statement declar-
ing that he does not believe DR..
Cook ever reached the pole--that it
is a physical impossibiIity for the
explorer to have done what he claims
to have done in the time and with the
facilities which he had at hand. He
thinks Cook has deliberately faxed
his descriptions of the trip he claims
to have made to the top of the world
and that he never got near the pole.
It must be confessed that Cook s
dIlatoriness in producing proofs of
his discovery furnishes considerable
basis for doubt as to the truth and
sincerity of his story.

FREE HIDES SHOES NO CHEAPER.

The criticisms with which the new
tariff bill is constantly assaulted are
to the effect that in its seized lies the
revision of duties was not to a
sufficient extent downward. The
most strenuous contention In the
entire bill was for the placing of
hides and lumber on the free list.
Free hides and cheaper shoes, I"
it will be remembered, was a familiar
slogan of those who were contending
for lower duties The tariff was
removed from hides and the duty on
lumber cut nearly in the middle when
the schedules were finally adopted in
the Payne bill The law has been IN
operation several months but the
market reports do not show that
prices o. shoes are any lower. All
that has been saved through the
putting of hides on the free list has
gone into the pockets of the importer
and foreign producer of hides. while
the government has lost many thou
sands of dollars in duties. -
This is not the first time, nor is
hides the only instance in which it
has occurred, that the removal of the
tariff upon dutable articles has had
Just such a result, and the free en-
trance of the products of foreign COM
petitors has strengthened them as
competitors for trade in the American
markets. reduced the income of the
United States. and yet not made any
saving to American consumers. Actual
experience is such matters does not
always agree with political theories.

Somebody stole President Taft s
big mince pie, intended for his
Thanksgiving dinner. Because the
president is big man all the presents
given him appear to be of unusually
huge size. His turkey this year was
the largest ever served on the presi-
Dental table. This pie was the
product of the bakers union al
Newark. N. ]. 1t measured about
three feet across and weighed fifty
pounds, probably the largest genuine
pie ever baked. 1t was lost some

The recent exposures brought to
light by Collec tor Loeb, in the New
York custom house prove the sugar
trust to have been for years a common
thief of the lowest and most villain 0us
character. It is estimated that more
than $50, 600, 900 has been DETECTED
from the U. S. treasury by the trust
during the past fifteen years by under
valuations. short weights and other
despicable frauds. Many of the
officials and clerks in the customs
house were in the deal with the trust
and had a full knowledge of what
was going on, lending their aid in
all ways necessary to the steal.
Collector Loeb has summarily dis
missed 100 men implicated in the
frauds and inaugurated methods that
will insure dscency and honest deal
ing there in the future. The trust
will also be vigorously prosecuted and
it is hoped not only forced to disgorge
its plumber but take adequate punish
ment for its misdeeds as we'll.
