ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY e. HOUSE.
(From Philadelphia Public LedgefJ

Since YOU are wondering how We
took it. we don't mind saying the ap-
pointment of Mr.. cambridge Colby as
secretary of state is entirely satisfac-
definitely fixes Mr.. Colby's political
status: he is a Democrat. The Re
publican party can no longer pc
laughed at because of the belief that
Mr.. Colby belongs to it.
We of course. intend no personal
reflection. Mr.. Colby is an able gen
tleman with a large conservatory or
the soul. But the welfare of the Re-
publican party is always and ever our
, first consideration.

A whisky row in the Democrat party
appears imminent. \ strong effort
is being made to swing the orsaniza-
ton back to its original position of
hacker of the principle of individual
liberty. When the Democrat ship a
few years ago drifted from its moor
ings out into the prohibition sea no
provision was made for a return voy-
age. In espousing the prohibition
cause. the Democrats forsook their
long established principles in order
to win a political advantage. In view
OF the existing division of sentiment
in the ranks it seems improbable that
they can get back to the old familiar
ground.

The constant rise in the price of Ha-
bana cigars is due to the growing cost
of leaf tobacco and of the labor which
go into making them. The wages Of
cigar-makers have risen about so per
cent in the past two years. and the
planters are getting fronS so to 100
per cent more for their leaf than they
did before the war. The manufactur-
ers claim that they are not making
very large profits. and it seems to be
true that compared to the sugar men
they are not making much money.
The demands of labor tend to absorb
the advances in the prices of cigars
as fast as they are made. There are
constantly strikes. which interrupt the
production of cigars very seriously.
for tha cigar maker is a highly skilled
worker and cannot be replaced on
short notice There are about twenty
five hundred of the cigar factory
workers in Habana, and nearly all OF
them are uRionized. The very best

Carpenter. the engineer in charge of construction, has moved the big pile driver to the west bank of Snake river and has started construction of the west jetty, which will extend south. ward an equal distance with the tetty constructed last year and form the western wall of the river channel. The distance between the jetties will be one hundred feet.
 Up to a day or two ago Mfr. Car penter was not able to do much of anything owing to lack of coal and building material. The coal required i to drive sufficient piling to place the pile driver across the river was ob- tained sack or so at time from people who had a small amount to spare. It is understood that MT Car penter intends to push work on the western jetty by working three shifts and will leave repairs on the damaged east jetty and revetment until later In the season.

5. 8. VALDEZ ENCOUNTER
 MUCH ICE

Not even the first steamers en- conntered more ice difficulties in their efforts to reach Nome this spring than the freight steamer Valdez, of the AL aska Steamship Co.,, which dropped anchor in the offing Wednesday after noon. Although leaving Seattle near ly two, weeks after the Victoria. the Valdez encountered wide fields of ice after passing Cape Mohican and won her woy through only after a delay Of several days. Being heavily loaded the steamer was compelled to proceed cautiously ice bucking heinz resorted to only when no other course was open The progress of the steamer through the pack was so slow that she was in sight of Nome for practically day before reaching the open roadstead.
 The vessel finally broke through the ice barrier shortly after noon We'd nesday and was soon at anchor. The Valdez brought full cargo of freight and large dispatch of mail from the outside world. After discharging here the steamer will proceed to other Ber- ing ports.

After discharging in the Snake River basin, the Sea Wolf sailed for St Michael Friday af- ternoon with mixed cargo. the mails and several passengers.

 The trip was beset with ice diffi- culties almost throughout, according to MT. Rank. The schooner was forced by the ice to lay to behind Sledge Island for several hours after leaving Nome. and ice was encount- cred practically all the way to the Cape. It was only after great diffi- culty that the schooner was able to reach W:vles. The strait was founl checked with ice and passage into the Are, ic apparently impossible for ves- sels

Isuisvflle, Ky, Feb 25.-New rec ords 1ar rapidity in procedure n the United States court here were ere atcd yesterday when the Kentucky distillorie5 and warehouse colnpany laid before Judge Waltel' Evans 8 petition alle@ing that tac eighteenth amendment to the constitutional was uncon 7titltional Had the petition dismissed and an appeal certified to tue supreme court of the United States all within 15 minutes.
 The suit will be docketed imne- diately in the supreme court and a motion made to advance it so 1t may be argued at the time similar sut instituted in Rhode Island IS heard.
 The main contention of the suit is whether the two thirds voted requlr- ed by the constitutions refers to the entire membership of the house and the senate or to the membership who were actually present when the vote was takn on the question of suo- hitting of the eighteenth amend ment to the states.
