The Poles of Chicago are much net tled by the fact that the equestrian statue of Kosciusko, modeled by Clior zinki, has been rejected by the Muni cipal Art Commission of that city, upon the ground that the design is poor and the modeling weak. No musician of any ago received more presents from royalty, great folks and municipalities than Nieolo Paganini. At his death the magnifi cent collection passed into the posses sion of his son, who kept the memen tos together. Now Baron Attila Pa<- ganini, his grandson, has given them to tho city of Genoa, the great artist's birthplace. The excavations at Nippur revealed not only th-3 oldest sanctuary, library und school that are known to the pres ent time, but also the most ancient archaeological museum. In an upper stratum of the library mound the first museum known in history was un earthed. The collector lived about the time qf Belstaazzer, and his specimens were antiquities then. Since November, 1897, when the first German sailors were landed and pos session was taken of Kyaochau. North China, which covers an area of 208.4 square miles and counts 80,000 inhab itants, the German government has spent $11,900,000 on it, and the new appropriation calls for $2,956,198, of which $1,177,860 is destined for build ing and fortifying purposes and for a floating dock. M. Jusserand, the French ambassa dor, and his wife are a most devoted couple. They were married eight years ago and since that time have not been separated for 24 hours at ono iime. Mme. Jusserand was born abroad of American parents, but never until her husband came to his pres ent post had she been on American soil. Both the ambasador and his wifo are very democratic. A sartorial authority in London an nounced some months ago that before long well-dressed men wottld be wear ing corsets. The statement caused some ridicule, but it has been borno out by facts, for the real Ix>ndon swell of today is unmistakably corseted. More than that, he is having his hips padded, and there is a growing de mand for the effeminate article neces sary to giving t'ae appearance of wasp waists. The largest bottle ever blown has just been made at th' 3 Illinois Glass Works, at Alton, 111. It is a wine bot tle seven feet high, and was made for a wine exhibit. The glass blower who undertook this unique work turned out 14 of the big bottles in one day. It was a question whether so large a bottl; could be blown in a mold by any man's lungs, but the workman who was as signed to the task succeeded without any great trouble. The feather bed, after its banish ment during about half a century, is being received back into favor in cold er countries. Hygiene experts con demned it on account of its heating na ture and the difficulty of thoroughly airing and purifying it; nevertheless, it is actually being recommended dur ing the winter for delicate, nervous, neuralgic women, and particularly for ■lderly persons and those who are troubled with insomnia. Willie Dunn, the amateur golf play er, is laying a golf course for John D. Rockefeller at Pocahontas Hills. A force of men started work on the links the other day and when they are fin ished they will be the most elaborate in the country. The links will have the usual surroundings, but the course will be longer and wider than any pri vate course in the country. Dunn says that Rockefeller is rapidly developing aito a first class golfer. Cupid and Mammon are madly pur suing a young man who lives in Brook lyn. Louis Thompson Hunt must find a wife before he is twenty-five years old or forfeit an annual income of $2,500. He is now twenty-two. He is good looking, a brilliant conversation alist and an accomplished pianist. Ho is the nephew of Nathaniel Hunt, who died on April 4. Nathaniel Hunt made a fortune in the wholesale grocery and ship chandlery business at Fulton and .West streets. THE 1003 OUTLOOK. From I'rrvrnt In <1 !<•« Hon* Ihr It rpn b lit-MiiM to 11 ii* i- Che K>vrn In Doubtful SlHlfii. Tn "thi* strict. sense, there are no off years iir American politics. Although theoretically there is a lull for two yearsimmediately beforatheprcsiden tiul contest, except as regards the maneuvering'of each party in congress fur position in the big actually elections of great importance take place a year in advance of the quadrennial round-up. In November of the present year Ohio, lowa, Mary land, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other states of considerable importance wail elect state officers. The contest for governor in Ohio and lowa are always exciting. They will unquestionably be so this year. Ihe fact that Senator llanma isto name-the candidate for the republicans for gov ernor, and tha't he is a candidate for reelection to the senate from the legis lature which will bo chosen next No vember, will be sure to give this ♦•on test a great interest for the whole country, and the interest will be heightened if. as seems probable John son heads the democratic ticket, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Probably the democrats will carry Kentucky in 1903. They have an elec tion law which leaves nothing to chance, and it may be relied onto count a majority fior the party which framed it, and which intended it to roll up democratic margins irrespective of the relative numiber of republican and democratic votes actually deposit ed at the polls. In Maryland the con test will be much more exciting and uncertain. The republican® carried Maryland in the two latest presiden tial elections, and they won, in th« contest last November, four of the state's six members to congress. Ihe republicans began showing strength in Maryland, in the election of 1893, when they carried the state for gov ernor. Then followed McKinley's vic tory in the state in Ih9ts and in 1900. But Smith, the present governor, won the state in 1599. It is believed that he will be nominated this year. The leg islature to be elected this year will choose a United States senator to suc ceed McC'omas, republican. Moreover, Gorman, who has .just pulled himself out of obscurity and secured a new term in the senate, is now the titular leader of the democrats in his cham ber. andi he aspires to lead his party in the presidential canvass. His fate in the latter role will be decided by the vote of his stat« in 1903. Rhode Island elected a democratic governor in 1902, and that, fact pave the democracy some aid and comfort at the time. In the election this year the democrats are understood to feel considerable confidence. Ivhode Is land's vote does not bulk very large in the electoral college, but if the dem ocrats win Little Ilhody again they will say that they are making gains in New England, and will begin to think that they have some chance in Connecticut and New Hampshire. On the face of things, the situation seems to favor the republicans in all the states this year in which they are normally strong. The only point in doubt in re lation to Ohio, Massachusetts and low a is as to the exact republican lead. It will be long in all those states. In Ohio in 1002 the republican candidate for secretary of state, who headed the tfeket chosen that year, had a lead of 90.000. There will Vie no special incen tive to make the plurality as large as that this year, unless Johnson gets the nominat ion for governor, m which case the republicans will put up 1 lie best canvass of which they are capable. In any case, there will be some very in teresting politics in 1903. Several of the states which will vote will furnish a very fair barometer of the direction and force of the partisan currents at that date.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 7, r 9 0 3 . ANTI-TRUST LAWS WIN. Dr-mocratlr Iriiiinirnl lint) Hr-,iuh lii'no l.e|(li>lntlon IN Ineffec tive UiniMMrd Of. One <if the most important develop m» nts in the war of legislat ion iipaiiist corporate combination is the decision by the I niteci States circuit court, which dissolves the merger of the. Northern Pacific miiroad companies under the title of The Northern' Secur ities company. This merger by which these two transcontinental lines were consolidated, is declared to be illegal because in restrainsof trade and there fore in violation of the Sherman anti trust law. The weight of this decision was felt in the depression which fol lowed immediately in the stock mar ket, although the capitalists interested declared that the case would be car ried to the I'nited States supreme court. It is intimated by the friends of the merger that the circuit court which passed upon the case, being composed of western judges, is uncon sciously influenced by the anti-corpo ration sentiment which has been prev alent in the western states, and that when the more national body, the United States supreme court, gets hold of the decision it will be reversed. This confidence, however, is not to well based as it might be. says the Troy Times. The I'nited States supreme court no more than the circuit court, which has just given its decision can decide as to the wisdom of congres sional enactments. So long as con gress acted within its constitutional rights in enacting the Sherman anti trust law, all that the courts can do is to decide whether or not that law has been violated. The circuit court found that the combination was substantial ly in restraint of trade and in reduction of competition. If this be so it is hard to see how the supreme court can al ter the verdict. But courts are uncer tain quantities, and the final decision must wait. The dissolution of this g-rent mor g-er disposes of the democratic argu ment that republican legislation has been ineffective as against combina tions commonly known as trusts. Here is one of the greatest consolidations ever effected in this country, and it is nullified by the operation of a law passed by .a republican congress. And it is worthy of notice that anti-trust legislation, which has proved so effec tive in this ease.iis the product of re publican statesmanship and of the de termination of that party to prevent oppressive and monopolistic combina tions. The whole question of the relation between the public and corporate or ganizations is so complicated and deli cate that it will be a long time before the issues are finally decided. Proba bly. as in the case of the relations be tween employers and employes, there will be a fluctuating-understanding- for many years to come, with the emphasis alternately upon one side and the other. How to say to human energy: 'Thusfar shalt thou go and no farther," so as to prevent encroachment of one or more upon the rights and privi leges of others?, is a. problem which has never yet been solved by a definite and final formula. But the law is cer tainly justifiable in attempting as near ly as it can to prevent excesses or mo nopolistic operation. Whether or not the court has properly applied the law in the case of the railroad merger is a question for the court or its su perior. Meanwhile it is shown that re pressive legislation can be enforced, and that the courts of the country can be relied upon to do their duty in carrying out to the best of their knowledge the popular mandate. VIEWS OF SECRETARY ROOT. TrnM* Cannot He Got Riid Of liyTarifT It e vial on, a* Democrats Depla re. Secretary of War Root's recent, speech at Boston was not long, but he made a number of good points and' made them very clearly. As the occa sion was a banquet of the Home Mar ket club the speech dealt exclusively with the tariff question. Its main points were, first, that the important •thing in tariff legislation is adherence to protection and not to any particu lar schedule of rates; second, that trusts cannot be got rid of by tariff re vision without killing off independent manufactories at the same time; third, that no tariff can be framed that w ill please everybody and satisfy all inter ests; fourth, that revision of the'tariff* should be intrusted only to its friends. None of these points is new, but Sec retary Root lias a way. of putting things 'that gives them a new aspect, says the Indianapolis Journal. His statement that "there is no fetich in tariff schedules' and no sacred.ness in particular rates of duty" meant that it is 'the principle of protection that must be preserved. Gen. Harrison made the same point in one of his campaign speeches delivered in this city in September, ISSB. He said: "The republican party holds that a pro tective tariff Is constitutional, wholesome, necessary. We do not offer a fixed sched ule, but a principle. We will revise the schedule, modify rates, but always wiiTi an intelligent provision as to the effect upon domestic productions and the wages of out working people. * * ♦ It may be that re ductions shiould be made; it may be that some duties should be increased; but we want to know whether those who propose the revision believe in taking thought of our American worklngmen in fixing the rates,or will leave them to the chance ef fects of a purely revenue tariff." No person- could ever improve on Gen. Harrison's statement of a propo sition, but Secretary Hoot made 'the same point very clearly. What he said applied equally to the pro|x>£ition that when tariff revision becomes advisable or necessary the work should be com mitted to the friends: of projection and uot to its enemies. THE NEVADA DESERTS. ftoTcrnment Kiprrln lllaruvpr Tliat They H« Itecluliiird in Largo I'arl by Irrigation. The. irrigation possibilities of the cirill west, especially that part of it included in the great interior basin, once called the great. American des ert,, are daily becoming more appar ent. Surveys for reservoir sites re veal the fact that there are many lo cations where water can be cheaply stored and used for power and irriga tion. Other surveys show large tracts of good farming land favorably lo cated for watering from these stor age reservoirs. A more detailed study is being made of the amount of water each water-shed will furnish, especially those on which there are good reser voir sites, and the losses of water from each. Under the direction of Mr. L. H. Taylor, resident hydro grapher of the geological survey at ißen.o, Nev., 13 new stream gaging stations have been established in Ne vada and eastern California. Three of these are on Walker river and branches, one on Carson river, six on Truckee river and tributaries and four on the Humboldt and its trib utaries. The run-off data from these and the other eight gaging stations on tbese streams, iw.hen they cover a period sufficiently long to include the two extremes of run-off, will be of great value in determining the Irriga tion possibilities ond designing the works on each. A dozen rain gages are to be located at characteristic places in this section. These, with the 11 already in use there, will, with ithe aid of the run-off data, render as certainable the ratio of precipitation to run-off, and thus enable engineers <to compute, from rainfall records, the run-off from adjacent auxiliary waterr-sheds. Evaporation from the pur,face and fluctuations of the sur face level of some of the larger lakes aire being measured, and losses inci dent to storage of large bodies of ■water and losses from small bodies of running water are to be studied. During the last season Mr. Taylor has been assisted by Prof. E. C. Mur phy, of Cornell university. .Vlay Not Want to (io to Heaven.
