Arrangements are rapidly being

In Cuba sixteen tons of cane yielded

Right-spirited Oklahomans are for

The London Times has been called
tieavy, but its articles on American
politics and presidential possibilities
make light enough reading.
BUI Cross* liking for Erlanger may

The immense Indirect coat of war-
fare is illustrated by the fact that the
Spanish-American war cost 91,000,000
a day for over a year, although hos-
tilities occupied but three months.
The reports that radium was a cure
for cancer seem to have been prema-
ture. Kadlnm thus far has been of
practical value chiefly to the persons
who write magazine articles about it.
John Barrett, whom Japan would not
receive as minister, has been appoint-
ed to be minister to Argentina. If the
South American Republic refuses him
we shall not be affronted, though we
shall feel sorry.
Senator Hanna lei la the Salvation
Army that he longs for the power to
touch men's hearts. Mark's true voca-
tion lies in the direction of touching
men's pocket-books, as chairman of
the national republican committee.
A section of the cable lu the Carib-
bean sea was recently raised from 1,-
350 fathoms of water, where it had
lain for thirty years. Tests showed its
core to be in perfect electrical condi-
tion and the rubber insulator unin-
jured.
A wireless telegraph plant of the
Marconi company will be placed at tho
foot of Fulton street. New York, which
will work all steamers having appar-
atus. This will enable ships held out
side the harbor by tog to communicate
with the world.
The fellows who advocate waiting for
statehood until the neighboring terri-
tories can be brought in have been
very quiet lately. Perhaps they have
tumbled to the fact that Oklahoma peo-
ple are for Oklahoma first, other ter-
ritories afterward.
Cuba exported 669,300 tons of sugar
during the first six mouths of 1903, ex-
reeding the exports during the same
period of 1902 by 24,000 tons. The
amount on hand is estimated at 358,400
tons, which is 90,000 tons less than a
year ago. The Cubans appear to be
doing fairly well and not so much as
formerly is heard of the. hard lines
which they are in.
The Chicago Chronicle is opposed to
the Illinois child labor law, because
forsooth Benjamin Franklin worked at
the age of 8 and Sir Isac Newton toll-
ed on a farm at the age of 14. If the
Chronicle will prove to us conclusively
that all the children who work in the
mills very young will turn out to be
Franklins and Newtons, we shall recon-
sider our opinions on child labor laws.

EXPERIENCE OF
OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS
Leaders of Oklahoma democracy are
*bov ing plainly the correctness of the!
Darwinian luea of evolution, and unless
desperate means are adopted to change
the environment of the ambitious emu-1
lators (?) of Thomas Jefferson, there |
is no telling what may be expected.
A few years ago, in those good old
hard times when it was easier to per-
suade the average farmer that white
was black, than that the country could
be saved from going to the everlasting
bow-wows, except through the triumph
of the "pops" one J. Y. Callahan was
chosen as the standard bearer of all
the cohorts of reform-democrats in-
cluded—snd through the idiocy of the
people and the dryness of the weather,
sent to Washington as a representative
of the territory.
A few weeks sojourn In Washington,
spent for the most part in wondering
where he could find a good place to
commence his representation of a big
constituency, convinced the aforesaid
Callahan that he was outclassed—out
of his element and up against the real
thing. He knew that Oklahoma peo-
ple wanted him to do something, and
knowing that he couldn't do anything
felt mighty bad as he saw all his hopes
of a long and glorious career go glim-
mering.
Since the time when Noah, full of
trouble, sought relief from his woes
by filling himself with spirits, it has
been the popular thing for the grief
stricken to drown their sorrows in
drink, and when Callahan realized that
bis hopes were crushed, his first in-
stinct was to follow the beaten track.
However, "booze" was a little out of
his lino and his conscience would'nt
allow him to Indulge In red liquor.
Consequently, he did what the thirsty
fellows over in Indian Territory,
(concerning whose wellfare present
day democrats are so solicitous,) are
forced to do. He drank Peruna—and
liked it His sorrows were soon effec-
tually drefwned and he was again the
bouyant Callahan of old.
1/lke all democrats, Callahan was
grateful. His sense of fairness con-
vinced him that he owed the manufac-
turers something, so he sent them his
picture and a testimonial setting forth
the many benefits he had received from
liberal drinking of Peruna. The man-
ufacturers appreciated the photograph
and long after Callahan, politically,
had gone into the saccharine subse-
quently his features loomed upon the
pagee of Oklahoma newspapets, a re-
minder of tbo potency of Peruna.
Last year, one William Cross, peri-
patetic peddler of prints for a dry
goods house, became the leader of the
democratic party—no one knows why—
and for a short six months uls choice
(?) stories greatly delighted the people
of Oklahoma. And then came the
election. The Isughter with which
Bill's speeches had been received per-
suaded him that he was "it" and that
Oklahoma Just couldn't resist him. So
sure was he of a triumphant entry In-
to the national legislature that he
didn't wait for election returns, but
commenced a celebration Immediately
after the polls closed. Then came the
awakening and Bill, like Callahan, was
overwhelmed with sorrow.
Now Bill, if he had one, was posses-
sed of a very elastic conscience, and
when he sought spiritous comfort, he
went a notch stronger than Callahan
and rushed the can. Copious draughts
of the beverage that made Milwaukee
famous brought him out of the dumps,
and this week the issues of several ter-
ritorial papers have presented the
smiling face of the late congressional
candidate, again "Runny Bill," who has
tried Erlanger and likes it
The fact that Callahan enjoyed Pe-
runa, or that Cross likes beer, Is not
however, the salient point of this ar-
ticle. Appetite for "booze" is not a
foundation for just claim to political
recognition, and the State Capital is
not so urging. However. Callahan's
progression from the ministry to Pe-
runa, Cross' evolution from a Peruna
agpetlte to a taste for Erlanger, leads
to the belief that the next defeated
democratio candidate for congress In
Oklahoma, will use his face in boost-
ing Ouggenhelmer or Canadian Club,
and the successor to his troubles, dis-
appointed in political aspirations, prob-
ably seek undying fame through the
endorsement of a favorite brand of al-
cohol.
toy pistol. For some reason not as |
yet explained even though the most
complete precautions to prevent blood- j
poisoning are taken by skillful sur-j
geons Immediately after the hurt, yet
this terrible disease comes later in
many cases. The bacillus of tetanus is
apparently conveyed to the powder
which. In discharging, sends the germ
deep into the tissues and thence into
the blood, there to develop at leisure
within from five or ten days or even
later. Some cases of complete cure by
means of a serum are reported, but In
other cases the serum has proved ut-
terly inefficacious. It Is apparent that
but little progress, has yet been made
against lockjaw. Aasuredly no reliance
can be placed upon the ability of the
physicians to cure when the disease
follows a wound. The only safe course
is to eschew flrearms and fireworks ab-
solutely on the Fourth of July. Ap-
parently the warnings given so freely
did not carry to all quarters, for at
the present rate the deaths attributable
to a mistaken idea of patriotism will
be as numerous in this year 1903 as
ever before.

THE FOURTH'S
DEATH HARVEST
The record of the deadly work done
on the Fourth by gunpowder is not
closed, by any means. The tetanus
deaths are now occurring. Four were
reported in New York yesterday and
from Chicago and the west come re-
ports of at least thirteen. It is In the
natural course that more must be ex-
pected during the present week, and
It ia by no means unlikely that the
aftermath of death will be quite as
great as the number of direct fatali-
ties on the Fourth itself. Tetanus de-

THE PROSPERITY
OUTLOOK GOOD
After proving conclusively to his
own (itlsfactlon that the monetary
situation is all right, Henry Clews, in
his Financial Review says regarding
the crop outlook:
"When anxiety concerning the mon-
ey market Is fully removed then '.he
real key to the situation will be the
harvest. If this proves satisfactory
we are sure of a partial recovery from
recent depression, if not another year
of general prosperity. Just now all
advices concerning the crops are of
a most encouraging nature. A large
wheat crop and good demand for the
same are practically assured. Corn
is reported progressing rapidly under
highly favorable growing weather.
Damages from flood have been infln-
teslmal compared with the great ad-
vantage of abundant rains; while late
cotton and late corn are both rapidly
making up for lost time. Six or sev-
en good growing weeks remain and
nothing short of a second serious
drouth—something unknown in a sin-
gle season—can prevent a good harvest.
Of course there is danger of early
usual, and the chances of escape are
certainly even. To those who calcu-
late upon short crops, therefore, the
chances are decidedly adverse. The
farmer perhaps can afford to be a pes-
simist, as he usually is; for nature reg-
ulates his production, and he wins
whether his prophecies be right or
wrong; but the merchant, the manu-
facturer and the speculator are ob-
liged to balance chances with greater
accuracy and freedom from all preju-
dice."
CURRENT COMMENT.
THE CURRENCY.
Washington fltar.
Although Mr Ci
sentiments recentij „
the subject of currency legislation, tho
publication has led to a wide discussion,
and the public Is already the gainer by it.
Newspapers atid politicians, east and west
have taken the matter up and If no
agreement hug yet been reached as to the
terms of the measure, It has been mad*
very plain that a more elastic currency,
well-safe-guarded, should be provided bj
the Fifty-eighth congress. Nor is any
thing more likely than that the new con-
gress will address Itself to the question
and solve It to the country's advantage.
Mention is freqently made of the Ald-
rlch bill. It may not be amiss to miggest
that the Aldrlch hill cxplied with th< late
congress, and that It will not lie present-
ed next winter. It was hurrlediy drawn,
and, as many friends of currency reform
believed, *as not a good piece of work.
Taken up at a time when the senate was
practically in deadlock over the statefr^pd
nlll It received only a brief examlnn®on
in debate, but that was sufficient to show
that before the senate would accept It sev-
iral Important changes would have to bo
made. This at the close of congress' left
everything In the air .except the disclos-
ure that a currency measure, carefully
drawn and having legitimate business In-
terests only In view, would command
votes on both sides of the chamber.
The question Is not pollUcal, except In
the sense that all public questions with us
are made to take on a more or less politi-
cal aspect. The objfet Is to serve sll sec-
tions alike; and a bill embodying *i>eh a
purpose, and drawn with due regard to
our needs as revealed by our experience,
should become a law, even with the two
parties maneuvering in congress for ad-
vantage on the eve of a presidential con-
test.
It Is needless to say that In this work
the house should have, and will have, as
much to say as the senate. Mr. Cannot!
as speaker will be In position to exercise
a strong influence on whatever Is pro-
fiosed. hut he would hardly go to the
ength of trying by his single power to de-
feet a me.nine of so much importance
and so manifestly In consonance with the
popular wish. The speaker is the organ
of the house and not Its master, and what
the house may decree on the subject of
the currency, as on other subjects, will
bind him.
OROWTH OF MOB SPIRIT.
Philadelphia Ledger
The lynching uf the negro, Cato Gar-
rett, near Vlcksburg. on Tuesday, Is one
of the best illustrations of the growing
mel> spirit, which has now reachtd
lengths so unreasoning that it bids fair tu
displace the ordinary machinery of justice.

urday last. In order th%t there might be

In fact, was a case of "railroading" the
prisoner; but the mob wrested the prison-
er from thr f officers uf the
law and hanged him.
Theie remotest doubt of
Garrett's fate at the hands of the duly
constituted officials and there was not the
slightest excuse for this exhibition of
lawlessness. Defiance of the law has be-
come so common that an Impression pre-
vails among a great many men that the
proper way to vindicate the law is to
break It snd defy it. And this notion is
spreading.
The Chicago Tribune says of the Kvans-
vllle catastrophe that a year of two ago,
If a negro had killed a policeman there
would probably have been no thought of
lynching. But the mob spirit is rife In
northern as well as In southern port of
the country, and Is growing rnpldly. One
lynching Inflames not only that communi-
ty. but teaches the lamentable and dang-
erous lesson to the lawless and the
thoughtless In other places that they have
the power, and th.it they should exert it.
This spirit will grow stronger and

pressive demonstration, on the part of
the authorities, which will teach the law-

ROOSEVELT AND HANNA.
Detroit Tree Press.
The report that President Roosevelt has
personally requested Senator Hanna to re-
main at the head of the republican nation-
al committee hi f«T more plausible than
the report that Senator Lodge will be
national committee. Is an asset of grea^
value to the administration. He is now
the most experienced and most successful
campaign manager In the countryp; per-
haps the most successful managing poli-
tician that the country ever produced.
Certainly no other chairman of a national
committee ever brought to his work such
a high order of executive ability and skill
in oi gsnisatlon. In 1896, without any real
I
out political acquaintance outside of Ohl
Mr. Hanna perfected an organisation that

nominated William McKlnley for president
and won In the subsequent campaign one
of the decisive battles of Amerioan poli-
tics. Blnce that time he has grown stead-
ily In grace and favor. Today there are
few more popular men In the United
States senate or In the councils of the
party.
President Roosevelt knows this as well
as anybody. He knows, too, that Mr.
Hanna's management of the campaigi.
would tend to overcome the conservative
distrust of the administration. The fin-
ancial interests of the country, which have
rather less courage than a stampeded rab-
bit, would regard Mr. Hanna's manage
ment of the campaign as assurance that
he regarded the president as halter brok-
en and fairly trustworthy. Furthermore,
as chairman of the national committee
Mr. Hanna would be a link connecting
the old order of things with the new order.
He would Join the McKlnley nnd Roose-
velt administrations together in popular
virile president Is carrying out the poll-
tlcs of his cautious, conservative, careful
predecessor. Mr. Roosevelt's friends have
made much of the fact that he has kept
his promise to adhere to the policies of
Mr. McKlnley, and Mr. Hanna's retention
as chairman of the national committee
would be a new assurance that there Is to
be no radical departure from established
methods.

policy of the United States government on
the Manchurlan question is generally re-
garded here with surprise and resent
ment." This Is the Russian view. It Is
poBsib'e, however, that Russia is astray
aa to the American position. All that any-
body In this country wants In regard to
Manchuria is that the present condition
of equality of trade favors in that prov-
ince be maintained. Ruseia has aheady
promised to let the existing commercial
covers Manchuria. The United States
asks for nothing further on that point.
England and Japan have been saying
that Russia does not intend to pyry out
privileges as between herself and the rest
of the world. The United States has re-
cently given a little credence to the Brit-
ish and Japanese vie*, of flussla's Inten-
tions. Those two countries have a politi-
cal as well as a commercial reason for
thrlr desire to shut Russia out of Man-

Russte needs that province In order to get

Asiatic empire. So long. however, as our
trade privileges In that locality remain

the annexation. The people of Manchuria
would have a better government under
Russian than they have aver had from

near Manchurlan waters, hut these are no

Anything la a fad In teaching, whether

al. from banket making In the kinder-
garten to child psychology In the univer-

oniy to minister to vanity and make n

of useful knowledge. This explains why
ro many things are called fads In the
public schools that are highly value* in

But It Is rank faddery to spread a thin
veneer of any of these things over the
whole mass of public achool children,
without regard to Invldual tastes and
capabilities, and without the least hope
of doing any more than to tickle the van-

Boston Herald.
Tammany celebrated the national holi-
day after Its own fashion by long talks
and short talks to tho assembled braves.
None of the speeches were notable.
Charles A. Towne. formerly of Minnesota
and now of New York, was the first grand
orator, and 8enator Halley, of Texas, was
the second. Towne's principal theme was
the Philippine war and lt« significance.
Bailey's was nothing in particular except
the greatness and elorv of Tammany. He
told his interested audience that 'there
never was a time when the patriots
throughout the nation did not. and would

Hall." Ah! This la to say that no cltl-

Texas, but in few other pieces In Amcrlca,

thl? aggregation of corruption and graft,
which has exahed Tweed and Croker a.f
Its Ideal statesman! should still be eulo-
gised by men who profees honesty.
