The countess of Warwick intends to establish agricultural settlements in different parts of England, where wom en who are expert in horticulture, dairy farming and poultry rearing can work on the co-operative principles.

Prince Khilkoff, tie czar's minister of railroads, is perhaps the least Rus sian looking man in Russia. He is the greatest railway builder in the world and during the eight years he has held his present position almost 13,000 mil 93 have been constructed—more than one third the railway mileage of the Rus sian empire. To him is due the Si berian railway construction and the fact that Russia is far more formidable in the far east than ever before. Gambling in New York seems to bo hydraheaded. Last. year Mr. Jerome asked for an appropriation of $50,000 to suppress the game, and after he had spent it the announcement was made that the city was clear of gambling houses. To-day Mr. .Jerome amazed the board of estimate and apportion ment by asking for SIOO,OOO, saying that the sum was needed to secure evidence against and prosecute per sons maintaining public gaming places. After long negotiation and infinito trouble President Loubet, of France, has secured the castle of Inezene, which once belonged to Diana of Puit tiers. the favorite of Henry 11. The chateau is one of the most picturesque in France. It is situated near Monte limar and has a waterfall, and ponds filled with trout and a large park with plenty of game. The price paid was 170,000 francs. From his tower tho president can see his birthplace, Mar sanne, where his mother still lives. According to the official weekly statement of London pauperism, the number of paupers within the metro politan area, who on the last day of the third week in July were in receipt of public relief, amounted to 103,356. This total comprises 66.140 indoor and 37,246 outdoor paupers. The total for the corresponding week of July, 1902, is returned at 101.282. Besides these there were 929 vagrants, consisting of 759 men, 157 women and 13 children who on that same day received tem porary relief. Cattle raising, which was formerly one of the principal industries of Cuba, is being encouraged by the govern ment. In 1902, 267,281 head of catt'o were imported, and out of this num ber 176,962 were slaughtered. It, is, therefore, evident that the importa tions greatly exceed the need of homa consumption, and with its natural in crease and the numerous tracts of land suitable for cattle raising, it may not he long before Cuba will have turned the tables on the United States in this branch of trade. Gov. Bailey stated that Kansas will have about 70 per cent, of a full corn crop. He bases this opinion upon what he has seen and heard of it! as ha has been traveling over the state. A full corn crop, according to Gov. Bai ley's idea, is well up toward the larg est crop the state has raised in the past. In 1889 Kansas produced 273,- 000,000 bushels. Seventy per cent, of this would be something linke 190,- 000,000 bushels, and fiov. Bailey be lieves the crop this year will be well up toward that figure. A student of music of tho aborigines, i Mr. Far well, states that, the Indians' have innumerable songs which con- j form to a definite melodic system, i Many persons have been led to believe ! that. Indian music consists wholly of i drums, whoops and yells, but. in t.io face of 20 years' serious study of tho matter and thousands of phonograph records, this belief is fast disappear ing. These melodies are all indis- Boltibly linked to legends, myths, cere monials or religious rituals of the greatest poetic and dramatic beauty. HELPING THE REPUBLICANS. 1 iiNil iil lii ii I of Soul horn UcmooriMli' OruuuM U orkliiK Self r n<*t lon. -Mississippi has struck the first deci sive blow at those ugly children of hate anil sectional rancor, those amendments to the federal constitution which de grade American citizenship and dis grace American civilization. Other states are sure to follow in the near fu ture, bat Mississippi will have the honor of leading the assault." Thus shrieks the Memphis Commercial Appeal, in speaking of the nomination of Varda man for governor of Mississippi, nom ination being equivalent to election in this case. Its neighbor, the Scimitar, howls that Vardaman's victory is a rebuke for President Roosevelt for treat ing the negro as a man entitled to some political rights under the law. This insane rant, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, shows that the gods are getting ready to clean out the demo cratic party again. very yelp of this sort from a southern paper will bring thousands of democratic voters in the north to the republican party. Through out nearly all the great states of the north and west to-day the democratic party is a feeble and discredited sect,and its silly southern section is making it still weaker and still more contemptible. Outside of the old slave region of 1861 the democrats got only 13 electoral votes in 1900, and even in the slave section they lost Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. The implacablts of the Mem phis brand are doing their little best to put these Bryanite electoral votes on the republican side in 1904. Sr> long as democrats of the south can be baited or bribed into such antics as the Mississippi democrats and their out side champions have been playing recent ly. the republicans need have no fear of the result in any national election. A solid south will make a solid north, and the solid north will always win. The Vardamans and the Moneys are a grosser variety of the Yanceys and the Toombses of long ago, and their ravings will hit their section as the howlings of the earlier marplots did, though the punish ment will not take the same shape as the ot her did. The frot hings of the Urick Pomeroys. of Memphis, and othersouth ern towns, as distributed through the north and west by the republican na tional committee in 1904, will bring more democrats to the republican side than have been on this side at any time since Vallandigham and his assistant rebels In the McClellan convention of 1864 rolled up a virtually unanimous electoral vote for Lincoln. AGAINST FREE TRADE. Prcinlrr Bnlfonr Drnnnncpn (hp Pol- Icy n* InjurluiiH to KiiKlaiid'a Export Trade, When Joseph Chamberlain attacked the free trade policy of Great Britain there was a disposition to attribute his zeal to his desire to carry through his proposals for a preferential tariff ar rangement with the colonies. The ef fect of what he said was lessened by the belief that he had boen moved by a po litical exigency. With Premier Balfour, however, it is different, says the Cleveland Leader. His recent pamphlet, denouncing the free trade policy, contains not a word about the Chamberlain proposals. He discusses the fiscal policy of Great Brit ain aside from any political issue. When le says, therefore, that the free? traders have made blunders from which the government has suffered, the statement is calculated to arrest attention. He charges, not only that British export trade has diminished under free trade, but that the manufacturers of other countries have been enabled to sell their goods in England at a lower price than that which British manufacturers can charge. This, he says, is one of the re sults of a free trade country entering into competition with a protectionist country. "We must," he declares, "get rid of these bonds in which we have gra tuitously entangled ourselves." There is no denying the fact that the English government leaders are becom ing weary of free trade, since they have been forced to confront conditions which, it was predicted, would arise 20 years ago by the protectionist orators and newspapers in this country. Is It not amazing, under the circumstances, that there should still be men in this country wedded to the doctrine of free trade, and who believe that protection Is wrong in theory and practice?

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1903. ANOMALOUS POLITICALLY. Carlo Frnturr* of itir Political Nit nut lon In tlx- Southern Slate*. Discussing the political ouliook a few days ago a member of congress said tin southerners in politics are a study, ami he explained his remark by adding: "They will accept any man a demo cratic convention hands them, and will take any old platform it promulgates the only thing they insist upon being that the democratic label shall be affixed to all goods." That this should be so nearly HO years after the war is one of the curiosities of politics, says the Indianapolis Journal. The term "solid south" originated so long that the younger generation of voters now on the stage, are ignorant of its origin, and almosi of its significance, yet the condition continues long alter the causes that gave rise to it have passed away. It is an unfortunate thing for the country and especially for the south. It is the more surprising, be cause, while slavery existed. the only institution or issue that differentiated the southern states from those of the north, there was no solid south. Kven the long-continued agitation of ihe slavery question and the determined op position to its extension did not drive the south together politically until a few years before the war. As long as the whig party existed its nominees for president always carried some southern states. In 1840 William Henry Harrison carried eight southern states, in 1344 Henry Clay carried five, and as late as 18:>2 Gen. Scott, the whig candidate, and a man of northern birth, carried Ten nessee and Kentucky, and reeeivt d a large popular vote in several othr r south ern states. In 185(i Millard Filmore. an other northern man. received a large popular vote in every southern state, though he did not carry one. The civil war made the south solid, and it has continued so ever since as far as electoral votes are concerned. The unfortunate experiences of the reconstruction period increased the political solidity of the south, and the withdrawal of union troops during the Hayes' administration did not help matters a particle. For the last 25 years every southern state has cast its electoral vote for the demo cratic candidate, without caring much where he came from, or what kind of a platform he stood on. There were, how ever. unmistakable signs of disintegra tion in 1890, when McKinley received a very large popular vote in several south ern states, and again in 1900, when the republican vote in the south was almost equally as l?.rge. The most curious feature of the situa tion is that the south should have con tinued for nearly 40 years so unswerv ing in its political devotion to a party that has never brought it anything but disaster, and which Is to-day opposed to all the national policies that have cre ated the new south, and its unexampled prosperity. For all the progress the south has made since the war, and it has been very great, it is indebted, under Providence, to republican policies and legislation accompiished in spite of steady and determined democratic op position. Yet, as the congressman above quoted said, the southern states "will accept any man a democratic conven tion hands them, and will take any old platform it promulgates." It is a re markable case of a people subordinat ing their moral and material interests to a political sentiment, which, if it ever had any reason for existing, has become only the shadow of a shade. In all other respects the southern people are intel ligent, progressive and accessible to rea son. They are thoroughly posted as to the resources of the south, and have shown keen appreciation of and great en terprise in utilizing the opportunities which republican policies and legisla tion have placed within their reach; yet. they continue to vote for the party that has done absolutely nothing for them, and whose success in a national election would have a blighting influence on every southern industry. The condition is so anomalous that it "would seem it cannot continue permanently, and the sooner it ends the better for the south and the whole country. H<>l>iililloiin Son n <1 Advocates of republican policies are sometimes rebuked as being unfairly partisan in claiming material progress and prosperity as natural results of the enforcement of such policies. The demo cratic free trader does not like to face the figures which show how the country has gained in wealth and general wel fare tinder the wise protective system which originated with, and has been sus tained by, the republican party, and that fact is not surprising, since the proof is overwhelming of the fallacy of his own impracticable and disastrous theories. Likewise the results of republican ad ministration in imposing judicious re strictions upon the liquor traffic, and in devising ways and means of taxation which vastly lighten the burden upon the people at large while apportioning the expense of maintaining the govern most equitably among those who re ceive its benefits, do not furnish inviting reading to the opponents of republican state administration. But those whoaro the gainers by such methods do not com plain. And the public at large recognizes the great and important truth that there is an intimate relation between sound policies of government and the material affairs of the people.—Troy Times. c:"Tom Johnson is now "mentioned" as the nominee for vjee president on the democratic ticket. <>bio voters will see to it that gubernatorial duties will not compel him to decline the honor,— Indi anapolis Journal. it be doubted that much, if not most, of the difference in conditions in the states, can be traced to the good government in Illinois and lowa,and the t-ad government in Missouri?

Ya., Oct. 8. —The 60 foo. steel-built Hying machine, the <• of years of exhaustive study in th« efforts of l'rof. Samuel K. Langley secretary of the Smithsonian Institu lion, to solve the problem of median ical flight in mill air, was launched Wednesday and the experiment, care fully planned and delayed for months proved a complete failure. The im mense airship sped rapidly along its id-font track, was carried by its owe momentum for 100 yards and then fell gradually into the l'otomac. river, whence il emerged a total wreck I'rof.Cliarles M. Alan ley, who has been l'rof. Laiiijley's chief assistant in Hit work preliminary to the attempted flight, made the ascent in the aero drome and escaped with a ducking. At no time was there any semblance of flight, the initial momentum, the lightness of the machine and sustain ing- surface of the wings furnishing the conditions which account for the 100 yard transit of the air bird from its 60-foot elevation. An ollieia statement made after the test admit ted that the experiment was unsuc cessful, but asserted confidence in the ultimate success of the invention. The launching took place at 12:13 o'clock from the superstructure of the house boat moored in the Poto mac river two uiiit-s from this place l-'lteeii minutes before that every thing was cleared for action, l'rof Manley was clad in a suit of white duck trousers and cork-lined jacket Secretary Langley, who has visited the scene of the test but infrequently since the house boat carrying his de vice anil his assistants was taken to Widewater, did not witness the fail ure' of his machine, but remained in Washington where he awaited tiie re sult. When all was ready l'rof. Manley took his place in the navigator's cai which was situated close to the gaso line motor. This .motor was well be low the principal surface of the ina chine. It weighed 200 pounds and was designed to generate approxi mately 27 horsepower. Long rods connected it with the propellors, whose blades were about three feet long. The framework of l'rof. Man ley's ear was covered with canvas, l'rof. Manley started the motor, which worked well, the revolutions reaching 1,200 a minute. The big ma chine moved easily along the 70-foot track in the launching apparatus, ahd took the air fairly well. A five-mile breeze was blowing and for a moment the machine stood up well, but its failure was immediately apparent. It turned gradually downward. The de clination was so positive that l'rof Manley saw at a glance that but few movements of the second hand of the stop watch lie wore on his left knee would be recorded before both he and the scientific ship would be flounder ing in the Potomac. Just before the machine struck the water he shut otl his motor, which hail worked aiimir ably at the outset. The machine dis appeared beneath the waves, but only momentarily. The five conical shaped floats which had been distributed about the machine to avert its sinking performed their functions well and the bridges of the machine almost immediately reappeared above the water. It was a moment of anxiety for the safety of the navigator, but the fears were instantly relieved as his head emerged above the surface He had sustained no injury. His face reflected his disappointment at the result. He climbed into a rowboal which had been kept close at hand and was conveyed to the deck of the tug Part holdi. MORGAN AND SCHWAB.

Diamonds of the onrest white and timet dazzling brilliancy will kooii be within the reach of the smallest wage-earner, if K. W. Fuch's X-ray process of changing' the color of gems proves to be all that experi ments indicate. Mr. Fiielis, who is a. Chicago man, hopes that with the perfection of his process he will be able to bleach poor yellow stones to a clear white. Mr. Fuchs has been laboring for five years, and he is how able to announce that he can change a diamond to any other color desired. In his experiments, during which he has used SI,OOO worth of stones, be has changed a one and one-half carat diamond to a brilliant green, with added luster. He also produced a stone of ii rioh brown, similar to the s2s,ooo gem in King Edward's crown,, and further changed a six-carat white Stone to black. The coloration is per manent, if desired, though Mr. Kitchs can return the stone to Its original color. Topazes, pearls and other gems submit readily to the treatment, a yellow topaz having been changed to a deep green by the process. The method consists in directing tlie- X-rnys through the substances from which the color is to be obtained be fore- the rays touch and penetrate the diamond. Mr. Fuchs declares that it is a known fact that a diamond) has large pores, and that it is par tially through these that the parti cles tire able to pass into the body of the stone. The inventor says that he will keep part of the process secret until he has further perfect-' ed it. TCo*<inlt<»c« Like X-ltn y». Dr. Frank Irving, thief of the- X-ray department of lie Newark.
