Here Is a sentiment from one of John

"The worst enemy of tho union Is the

Piatt and Roosevelt.
THE REPORT from New York
that the Republican convon
ventlon In that Rtate will
speak kindly of President
Roosevelt In Its resolutions and say
pleasant things of his administration
to dale, but will avoid committing lt
elf to his candidacy for another term
is entltely credible, berause It consists
with what might easily be expected of
Tom Piatt. Tho only singular thing
about ,it is the rumor that this pro
gramme has the hearty endorsement of
Governor Odell.
It Is no secret In New York that the
real boss nowadays Is the governor. He
hus not made any public endeavor to
undercut Senator Piatt, and he has
played fair with the senator, but he is
In control of the party machinery, and
what he says goes. When McKlnley
was shot at Buffalo and Vice President
Roosevelt succeeedd so unexpectedly to
the presidency, one of the first to offer
him unqualified support was Ben. Odell.
This olfer was made and accepted In
the "fiiost manly spirit, and so far as
the governor Is concerned It has been
kept with scrupulous fidelity. That he
Is a party to any scheme to attempt to
Band-bag Roosevelt in his home state
is not to be believed. In the first place
it would involve him In perfidy, which
is foreign to his nature; and in the sec
ond 1 lace, it would imply that ho Is
not a politician, which Is preposterous.
It should be apparent to everybody
at Jhls time that if President Roosevelt
wants the support of the next New
York delegation In the national con
vention, he will got It, or the politician
who shall prevent him from getting It
will bo most beautifully trounced. It
is not to be believed that Governor
Odell docs not see this as clearly as the
next one, Tho remaining explanation
of the decision not to endorse Roose
clt tills-, fall Is that tho Republican
ir.imagei'ts In Now York state want to
pass the campaign hat among the
trusts, and find it expedient to keep
national politics out of tho state cam
paign .

Senator Thomas C. Piatt says the

How much more?
The rionroe Doctrine.
FROM the comments In both the
British and the German press
upon the president's aggres
sive assertion of the Monroe
doctrine In one of his recent speeches
it Is evident that this topic is still a
soro one with the average European.
Nor Is It unnatural that It should be.
Tho Monroe doctrine must Impress the
typical Inhabitant of uu European
country as being without any warrant
in international law, as being urbitrury
and also as being indefinite.
It says to Europeun colonizers:
"Hands off!" But by what right?
Have not the Inhabitants of Europe as
much right to come to tho New World
for purposes of colonization and con
tiucbl In A. D. 100O as they had In A. V,
1600? Is" It for tho United States, the
direct benellclary and In fact result or
that earlier colonization, to undertake
to lay'flown prohibitions for tho de
scendants of Its political ancestors?
AVhUo asserting Its Intention to take
prominent- part hereafter In tho large
affuirs,of the world's civilization, es
pecially in the Orient, where we have
ourselyca entered upon the admlnla
trntlon;of a big colonial trust, how can
the Americans, we cun imagine tho
European aBk, with consistency forbid
tho co-ordinate powers of Europo to
extern)" their domnlonvln tho western
hemisphere, especially on a continent
in which tho United States has no ter
ritorial very little commercial and at
the beit an unwelcome political inter
est? ,
Tho worst thing about this line of
argument is that Americans cannot
loglcaljy refuto It. Wo think it will bo
conceded by most believers In the Mon
roe do2trlne that It Is somewhat arbl
trary. Ut would be consistent enough
If the United StnteB were duly Installed
aB the politico) protector of and Inter
national sponsor for tho other Ameri
can republics. Then our warning off of
other nations would be In the nature of
defending our own. Such a sponsor
ihlp, however, although sometimes as
serted by our public men, is not recog
nized either by the more aggressive of
tho. South American republics or by the
world at large. They do not specific
ally challenge our claims, nor do they
admit them. They preserve an omin
ous silence.
The time may come when the Mon
roe doctrine will Interfere nerlotisly
with thepurposes of n strong European
power. 8houhlthl9 take place, there
will bo only one thing for the United
Statefl to do and that will be to fight.
A successful war with the Monroe doc
trine as Its starting point and princi
pal Issue would establish It for ull time
In the world's thorough recognition. It
may bo doubted If tho doctrine Is worth
a war, especially as no American knows
exactly what It means; but If the time
Bliould come when It would need a war
to decide, pride nt least would hold our
fellow-cltlzens to It.
It will take stronger testimony than
any yol produced to Induce belief that
Governor Stone ever promised the three
district presidents that tho troops
should not protect non-union men. Be
sides, why should tho three district
"presidents ask for such a promise?
Dcpew's Annual Report.
TrVERY year Chaunccy Denew
I goes to Europe, hob nobs
1 -V with the nobility, the gentry,
the learned and the import
ant, nnd then comes back home with a
column of good stuff for the newspaper
boys. Some of the more Important con
tents of the Depcw budget for 1902 uro
us follows:
Tho most noticeable chungo In Europe
slnca my lust visit Is the disappearance of
tho American terror. Then there was a
panic of Industrial fear of American in
vasion. The pioductlvo. possibilities of
the United States were exaggerated until
cabinets were consulting seriously about
protective measures, cither In tariff walls
or In concerted action by the powers.
That fear hus disappeared. It was too
hysterical to last. The foreign mind Is
now not so much how to keep the pro
ducts of Amcilcan mills, factories nnd
furnaces out, as to copy American meth
ods, and then with their cheaper labor
they hope to hold their markets at homo
and nliioud. Hut their study of our In
dustrial development und success, which
Is very careful and exhaustive, has pro
duced a widespread desire to combine
with us. They have great trusts nnd are
rapidly ci eating larger ones, but are
quite satislled to join In with similar
combinations In the I'nlted States and
leave tho management in American
hands. They have faith In American In
itiative and push to get things together
and make tho concern, however big,
woik successfully. This feeling has been
conspicuously shown In tho popularity of
the shipping combination. It llrst arou&od
fenr and Intense hostility, but In a few
months this has changed Into a deslro to
Join.
So complete Is this that oven the
French, the most conservative and jeal
ous of nations, are rfeiloimly considering
the advantages which would accrue to
their lines by entering tho combination.
The German emperor Is tho most mo'dern,
up to date nnd brilliant ruler Europe has
known In a generation. He is alert to
seize upon everything which will promote
German commerce nnd Incrense the pres
tige of Germany as a world power. Ho
took a characteristically quick and Amer
ican way of ascertaining the scope and
purpose of American enterprises by
blushing nwny all formalities and Inter
mediaries, and extending to J. Pierpont
Morgan and his party hospitalities and
courtesies quite unheard of In the rela
tions between sovereigns nnd citizens. It
may bo taken for granted if ho can find
any advantage for Germany In American
ways or international combinations under
American management that there will bo
no hesitation about the position which
Germany will take.
Senator Depew 'was abroad while the
negotiations with the Vatican on the
question of tho friars rtml their lands
were at their heighth and he was nat
urally interested In how they Impressed
tho statesmanship and public opinion
of Europe. He thinks they "have done
more in a few weeks to educate Europo
about our position in the war with
Spain and our possession and govern
ment of the archipelago than all the
diplomacy nnd literature since the be
ginning of that contest. Particularly on
the continent is this noticeable. Our
attitude and purposes have been tho
theme of discussion in the press and
ecclesiastical circles. They are thor
oughly understood and universally ap
proved. The general hostility toward
us which was so marked among most
continental powers and peoples on ac
count oC racial and financial sympathy
with Spain Is wholly gone. There Is
general concurrence In tho opinion that
tho action of tho American government
is necessary for peace and order In the
islands, and eminently just and fair. I
met leading men In political and church
circles, and did not anywhere hear any
criticism of our propositions. On tho
contrary, they all agreed, and so does
the European press of ull fchades of
opinion, that the negotiations have been
cniried on In a most creditable spirit,
nnd there Is general admiration of tho
tact, wisdom and moderation displayed
by President Roosevelt and Governor
Tuft."
While In cabinet rooms there is a
better understanding of America and
her conditions and aims than ever be
fore, Senator Depew finds much to
lament In the Amerleun "news" and
comment thereon In tho continental
press. Apropos of which ho gives this
amusing or shall we suy pathetic?
Instance:
In a vlllaga where I happened to bo
over Sunday I found in tho reading room
of tho hotel a newspaper containing 11
cnlilo dispatch from Now York which btild
that tho directors of tho Rock Island
Railroad compHiiy had voted to issuo to
the stockholders of tho company as a
free gift $500,000,000 In faco value of now
stock and bonds, and with tho comment
that thus American multlmillionulres aro
mudc by the stroke of a pen. I then at
tended n little chinch In tho place. The
pastor said tho church was struggling
with n'debt for the first 'time, but ha
hoped tho liberality of tho visitors would
wipe it out boforo the season closed, Ho
then with some trepidation stated tho
amount to bo 1-3 francs . Ah a franc Is
about "0 cents, one can seo tho extent of
tho burden. With my mhul too much oc
cupied with tho statement I had read an
hour befo;o about tho i)0,000,000 Rock Is),
and bonus and this church Htiungllng
with a debt of .'.'), I could not help ser
monizing to myself how one's sciibe of
proportion could be violently wrenched I
Perhaps the most striking Impres
sion that the senator received was in
some of tho smaller municipalities of
the continent places where for genera
tions ways of living and public con
veniences or lack thereof had until re
cently shown no signs of udapaton to
the passing years. Today, he says, tho
people of these little places are waking
up. They have heard tales of the won
derful methods In Amerlca( and they
aro prodding their administrators for
modern lighting plants, modern trolley
systems, modern paving and the thous
and and otto features of tip-to-date
city life. In short, tho standard of
living In theso mid-continental cities
and towns Is being lifted, chiefly, we
aro told, through the open or uncon
scious Influence of tho United Stales,
as transmitted throuh travellers or re
turned emigrants; and, In the long run,
Konator Depew thinks that this will
have a helpful Influence upon the
American export trade, since many of
these conveniences have to be supplied
from tho United States; nnd, Indirectly,
In the development among the common
people of ti truer knowledge of tho
American republic, Its people nnd ways,
An Interesting experiment In profit
sharing Is reported from Vancouver, B.
C., where tho local traction company
has voluntarily agreed that one-third
of the net profits, nfter the deduction
of a 4 per cent, dividend, shall be paid
over to the road's employes, division
among them to be made equally. It
Is estimated that this will be equiva
lent to putting from $30 to $100 a year
on top of tho regular union wages
which the road now pays. It Is Bln
cerely to be hoped that the employes
of this railway company will have
sense enough to appreciate their good
fortune nnd to, show by their subse
quent conduct that their employer's
generosity is not misplaced. When wo
reflect upon how many similar efforts
to introduce more humanity Into Indus
trial relations have miscarried through
lack of appreciation, the fact that hu
manitarians are not discouraged is
good proof of tho fundamental decency
of human nature,
A Sunday newspaper states that au

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
From Harper's Weekly.
Figures simply stagger and fall down
when they attempt to represent the real
foundation wealth of America, which is
agricultural. Wo are all, when wo at
tempt to contemplate that wealth, very
much In the position of the Irishman who
had to look several times In order to see
tho tall building tnklng it little by lit
tle. One section of the view is the in
formation, entirely accurate, that the
farmers of Minnesota and tho Dakotas
have received $300,000,000 for their pro
ducts this year. Another is that the corn
crop of tho state of Kansas this year
will bo 200.000,000 bushels. Still another,
that one million dollars, nt the lowest es
timate, fell In one soaking rain In the
single territory of Oklahoma tho other
day tho rain having checked tho grow
ing menace of a fortnight's dry spell. In
11 single year tho milch-cows of the
United Stntes yield a product equal In
Value to one-half of the capital of the
Steel trust und there are more cows at
the beginning of the new year than theie
were before. Behind the agriculture is
llie agriculturist, and the American far
mer Is gaining In Intelligence, in mastery
of his soli, and In fitness for political
power quite as rapidly as his products
arc Increasing in magnitude.

number of wage earners employed had
Increased from 4.231,(113 to iC,2Jl,GS",
Tho sumo ratio of Increase can be
shown In tho lncreaso of farm values un
der Republican administration. Tho
vuliio of tho live stock on tho farms of
tho United States, according to the re
ports of the agricultural department here,

Increased value has conic increased con

Many pcoplo who live In a certain part
of Cumberland county will well remem
ber 0110 "Abnor" so ho was always
called In his town, Abnor was tho wit of
tho village, although rallior looked down
on by tho avernga citizen because of hi
Inability to hold on to the goods of this
world.
Abner wnH commonly selected to tnko
ehargo of funerals, becauso ho was about
the only man In town who had tlmo
hanging on his linnils. A citizen died, a
man who never amounted to much, who
was never positively wicked, because
that would havo required more of an
effort tlmn ho was willing to make. He
was, howove'r, far enough fiom being n
good citizen, nnd Abner know It as well
as anybody else.
Abner was requested to ask a certain
minister to conduct tho service, nnd he
hitched up his old Ifcirao and drovo to
his house. Tho minuter said ho would
nttond and then tiled to got n. Ilttlo In
formation concerning the Into Inmonteil.
"What sort of a man was ho?" ho
asked.
"Well, about tho same ns no sort of n
man nt all," replied Abnor frankly.
"I supposo his loss will be deeply folt
In the community," said tho minister.
"They're all beating up well under It,"
said Abner slowly.
"Was ho a Christian?" nailed the minis
ter. "If ho'd been accused of It tho verdict
would havo boon not guilty, and tho Jury
wouldn't havo left their scats." replied
Abnor cheerfully.
"Did ho attend church?" asked the
minister, a bit anxious.
"I never heard of his doing It,' 'said
Abner.
"How did ho die?" continued tho min
ister. "Just tho snme ns ho lived, Bort of
naturally, " said Abner.
"I 'doh't see how I am to preach much
of a sermon undor such circumstances,"
said tho minister.
"Tho neighbors all said they didn't
think they wnntod much of a sermon,
nnd so they sent mo over to seo you,"
said Abnor.
Tho mlnstor pocketed his wrath and a

Abner said: '"Well, wo got just what wo

An Old One Recalled.
Tho fact that an Irish story, through
trite, Is always pat, was Illustrated yes
terday when District Attorney Reeves
told this anecdote:
"Some people object to releasing prison
ers on a floater because of the fact that
the renegades aro turned loose upon other
communities. That reminds mo of the
Irishman who, after reaching America,
was full of homesick brag. In which noth
ing In America even npproached things
of a similar variety In Ireland. In speak-,
Ing of the bees of tho ould sod ho grew'
especially roseate and said:
"Whoy, th' bazo In that counthry is
twice as big as In this. Indade, they're
bigger than that. They're as big as th'
shape yo have in this counthry!"
"Bees ns big ns sheep!" said his In
credulous listener. "Why, what kind of
hives do they have to keep them in?"
"No bigger than th ones in this coun
thry," was the reply.
"Then how do the bees get into tho
hives?" ho was asked.
"Well," replied tho Irishman, "thot's
their own 'dom lookout." Los Angeles

What Adam Was Doing.
It was midnight Suddenly in the Adam
residence there was a cry, then a series
of howls, and one of the neighbors, pass

Inngungo that was calculated to loose tho

neighborhood. She stopped, ran up to
tho door, and, pressing tho button, lis
tened eagerly at tho speaking tube.
"What In the world is your husband do
ing?" she asked, as the dulcet voico of

'"Oh," replied Eve, "ho is merely rais
