Tho greatest triumph in the T" .1,;niumti.tn l.na IV'iuwvrii Huiiiii' ' J been ncored in connection w itll the' Venezuelan situation. Altho t lit' settlement of Iho anthracite conl strike has been brought closer home to the majority of the people, the skill nnil diplomacy with which the nllips have bppn brought, Cist to nn acceptance of arbitration ns n ecttle mcnt. of their difficulties w ith Vone. zneln, nnil then to the acceptance of the Hague Trihnnnl ns the nrhilrat or, constitute nn pvpii greater tri umph for tho president and his R-erefary of state. Tho Monrop iloctrino his bppn not only mniii tninpil hut strengthened, Venezuela is about to ho saved from further hardship nnd will bo insured 11 just settlement of tho elntms against her nnd nil possibility of friction he twecn the United States nnd either or both of the interested powers has been nverted. Once porsuaded thnt arbitration was the. proper course, the, nllies, doubtless largely inspired by personal admiration for tho pros iilont, insisted thnt hp, must net as arbitrator, n course, to which there were ninny objections. At. no tuned did Mr. Roosevelt positively refuse to so not, but. he intrns'cd to the skillful diplomacy of Secretary Hay the task of making the powers co thnt. the present, situation offered n most, advantageous opportunity of demonstrating their confidence in the tribunal which they had them selves sanctioned nnd that tho im position of so onerous n task on the president wns akin, to tnkinir ad vantage of good nature. Thnt. Mr. Hny hns been eminently successful in his deliente undertaking is proven by the announced willingness of the powers and of Venezuela- to submit all matters in dispute to the Hague. Another nnd distinct triumph for the president nnd secretary of state is to be found in the terms of the Cuban trear.y which hnvebeen mnde publio this week. In return for a uniform concession of 20 per cent, from the Dingley tariff rates, nl lowed on Cnbnn goods, the United States secures the same discount on all goods entering Cuba and, in numerous instances, much greater concessions, tho highest being 40 per cent, on such goods as manufac tured woolens and cottons, rice, watches, umbrellas, eto. So exten sive are these speoial discounts that it is freely admitted they will afford this country an absolute monopoly of the Cuban trade. Even with the 20 per cent, off tho sugar schedule, the producers of sugar in this coun try will enjoy a protection amount ing to one-third cents per pound against Cuban competition and, as most of the sugar growers are pro ducers of other agricultural com modities they will be more than com pensated for any slight loss of sugar by the advantages gained in other lines. The officers of the adminis tration express confidence that the treaty will meet with the prompt approval of the members of congress and that it will be ratiflod within the stipulated period, the month of January. In the midst ot the anxiety occa sioned by the Venezuela situation, Germany and Great Britain have filed protests with the state depart ment against what the may term a violation of the ojien dtxir policy in the administration of the Philip pine tariff. It seems that, with the consent of congress, the Philip pine commission imposed nil export tariff of $7 50 per ton on Manila hemp and filler but that this duty is re.hated.when the goods are shipped to the United States. This course has seriously affected English man ufacturers of twine and rope who are no longer able to ohtaiu the raw material lit the juices to which they have been accustomed. Secre tary Hay, in view of the, fact that Philippine affairs are sliil under the jurisdiction of the war depa 'tment, referred tin) prote.-t to Secretary IL iot and ho in turn has sent it to (he Philippine conmiu tee of t lie hi-niite.. ll is giiiemlly held, how ever, that the jnit is not well idoil No ad vantage has been f r exports from the United t.ii 8; ate to the Philippine, all nations j m joying the siui.e advantaged as' il s this ro'in'ry.

Secretary Show said today thnt. he j illness, did nut- believe it. would he possible miss n B.,Rr vry pleasantly to secure currency legislation at j entertained the Girls' Club last Snt this session of cong' ess. While he nrclny nfternonn. regarded it. ns possible thnt the house would pass the Fowler bill, authorizing the national banks tn issue currency based on (heir nssets, he feared that it, would he impossi ble to secure consideration, hy tin senate, of a measure which would provoke such extensive discussion. While, there was no mste nhont the proceedings of congress before the holidays, when the members re turned to Washington nnd como to a realization of the fact, that less than two months remain before the congress will expire by limitation, they will ho absolutely unwilling to take up any musire lik.dv to pre cipitate extended debate. They will have, of course, to pass: the rogulnr appropriation bills and these become every session more, extended and complex, requiring a vast amount amount, iff committee work in ad dition to the time necessary to ex plain their provisions on the floors of the senate nnd the house. Sec retary Shaw says he will continue his cnnipaign of education and hopes to have so influenced public opinion before the Fifty-eightn Congress convenes, ns to Reoure prompt and favorable action on the bill. The president, and his family are spending an ideal holiday season. All of the children are at home and accompanied by one or more them Mr. Roosevelt goes for a long ride each day. He does not go to his office unless compelled to by the most urgent buisness and has asked that, callers exercise consideration and permit him to spend as much time with bis family as possible. There is a considerable party of guests at the White House and while no formal entertainments will take place before the great New Years reception, the evenings are merry and the informal little din ners, which take place every even ing, are mora enjoyable than cere monious entertainments. Good Roads and Free Delivery The good roads question is likely to lie brought home to some sections of the country in a practical manner. The Post Office department has been deluged with complaints from rural mail carriers about the roads on the routes; many during the wet seasons are impassible or nearly so. It has always lieen the government's policy to withhold or abolish city delivery in towns which let their sidewalks fall into decay. It is now proposed to apply the same principal to rural delivery and to refuse to establish or abolish routes along roads which are not kept up. Such a policy will cer tainly have salutary effect. Where rural delivery has been tried its bene ficiaries will not readily dispense with it, even at the expenditure of considerable time and labor. Then any intelligent work done on the road redounds to the farmer's own beneflit. Civil S.irvice Examination During the year ending June 30, 1902, there were 14,983 persons ap pointed to positions in the United States classified civil service, which was 4,092 more than were ever be fore appointed in a single year.

Taxation Without Representation Mrs. Sara Yorke Stevenson, prom inent In club and literary work, re cently gave her opinion on woman suffrage as follows : "No fair-minded American, however conservative can deny the injustice of 'taxation without representation' without denying his own birthright. Either women are oitiaena or they are not Any argument on the subject sinks to the level of mere casuistry based uimiii expediency. Logically there is. uo evading the question of right, If it is inexpedient to give women vote, they should be relieved of all burdens and duties to the Btate. "But can it bo inexpedient to admit Into a nations councils the one half of its people w hose interests most closely depend upon the main tainiince of law ana order? And shall wo say that women are unfit to vote, when we remember that among the most brilliant as well as the must prosperous and progressive r i?ns nf history are found those of queens?''

FAKHER3' INSTITUTE Intere.tiiiff Discussion on Dairy Methods and Fneding- For rrofit The annual farmers' institute was held here Monday nnd organized bf electing E. Warner, chairman, and Henry Aldrich, secretary. Col. 3. A. Woodward of Centre county, a veteran talker to farmers and who has made addresses in every county of the state besides having visited many other., as a locturer, was present and took np the subject of dairying, which in cluded proper rations for cows and their enre and management to make them produce the most profitable results. He said there are two lines which bound the business the lines of cost, and profit and the wider they can be made to diverge the moro successful is the farmer. The oow is a machine and the owner is a manufacturer. The question 19 how best to supply the machine to pro duce the trios t satisfactory results. He discussed the cPmpositic n of various food rations such as en silage and corn folder and showed by a chart how dflecient they were in protein. The best ration Is one which contains one of protein to six of carbo hydrate9 and there is no more perfect ration than clover hay cut at the proper atnge and perfectly cured. Peas and oats are a balanced ration, corn fodder and ensilage con tain too little of the protein but they may be supplemented by corn or other feeds. He strongly urged the raising of clover and peas nid oats. He spoke of wasteful methods in vogue In sowing clover and said it Was his custom to pass a harrow over the ground before sowing the seed. The gram would be better for the cultivation and the clover would be more sure to catch sown on a loose Den or sou. lie urged deep plowing, the deeper the better, aud adviRed level cnltivation for 3orn and potatoes. He planted both in rows and put the potatoes down seven Inches planting cuttings. He then harrowed over the ground sev eral times to kill all weeds and then with a cultivator stirred the soil deeply as possible. Colonel Wood ward is an interesting and convinc ing talker, liis ideas all appear born of common sense and exper ience. He has no inpraoticable theories or costly ' methods. His whole study is to accomplish the est obtainable results with the least possible outlay, and in securing these ends he reaps success. OBITUARY MRS.

Taxpayer on Short Hours Editor Pikk County Prkhs : A taxpayer went to Milford a few days ago to do business with the commissioners and arriving in town stopped at the court house a little before 10 a. m. The commissioners were not yet in their office. He drove to Port Jervis and returned to town about 3 30 p. m. and again called at the court house and the commissioners had gone home their days work done. This U the way Pike county commissioners earn $3 50 a day. Boys out of work seek a job of tnem they will be good people to work for. x x x Heidi Should Neur Achs Never endure this trouble.

Saturday evening, Deo. 27, at the Crissman House was an unqualified fraternal success. About forty sat down to the repast which was in every particular and detail most excellent, and reflected infinite credit both on the proprietor and his corps of assistants. The music furnished by the Misses Katie and Minnie Beck was in flue taste and greatly, enjoyed. Altogether the occasion will be a memorable one to those participating. It is believed that David Bennett Hill Is a democrat still quite still Your ordinary free-trade or low tariff expert Is the man who will tell you that it Is a mere fallacy to prefer facts to ideas. "What Is prosperity?" asks the Chicago News. Prosperity is a con dition which democrats can view only from the outside. "Unmitigated Chumps" Is the term credited to Senator lianna as describ ing the people who are trying to boom him for the presidency. Nebraska Is trying to loan 1-100, 0i to to Massachusetts. This is a end blow to any horny-handed plain people who wear silk nightshirts and milk f II30 cows, nee heifers. It looks now as if the Venezuelan matter might lie adjusted without bloody war. The ene.uelans are very anxious to escape international difficulties, as they hope otherwise to get another revolution started within a reasonable time, providing the present one peters out. Reformer Jerome appears to be ready to reform himself, and quit fussing over the w ickedness of New York.

Studies on Nearby Rivera In its investigations of thecountry's water resources the United States geological survey has recently ex tended its operations In New York to the measurement "f the volume of a number of streams in (he southeast portion of the state. Rome of the newly established points of operation are on the east nnd west branches of the Delaware river just above their junction at Hancock, N. Y., on the Delaware and Neverslnk at Port Jervis, and on Upper Schoharie creek at Prattsville, N. Y. Th; Delaware, n large niu! "wlft-flowiiig stream, is one of the nossible future sources of u "" supply of Greater New York. It Is also nn Interstate stream, following for some distance the boundary line between New York anil Pennsylvania, and that between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is of importance that its conditions of flow be accurately understood In anticipation ot future improvements upon it. Upper Scho harie creek drains the slos of the highest peaks of the Cutskills, with a wntcished almost completely covered with timber and forest. It Is expected Hint the records of the United States geological survey will furnish in formation on the much debated ques tion whether streams flowing from wooded regions are better for mill purposes than those draining cleared lands. Hi cords are, kept of all these streams iy local observers employed by the survey, and from these records the volume of water flowing In them each day can he determined. This w ork is being conducted under the charge of Robert E. Horton, of Utica, resident hydrographer of the United Slates geological survey fof New York and Michigan. Culture of Tobacco The department of agriculture has, for the past three years, been making extensive experiments In specialized tobacco culture in various states. In Connecticut many acres have been covered with canvas stretched over frames in an endeavor to duplicate the famous and expensive Sumatra tobacco and these tests have been wondrously successful. In South Florida considerable acreages are being planted to Cuban cigar tobacco, and now Secretary Wilson receives word from his experts In Eastern Texas that conditions of soil und climate have been found which act ually produce the finest Cuban tobac co. Samples grown have been sub mitted to leaf dealers and brokers in New York and Philadelphia, and they have pronounced them the Cu ban leaf with the peculiar and char acteristic aroma of the Cuban tobacco. The expert tobacco men who have been studying the matter are enthus iastic over the possibilities of produc ing in our own Southwest these high est grade tobaccos. Further and more exhaustive experiments, however, will lie made by the government before any encouragement is given to tlift Texas growers. Secretary Root not to Retirs Secretary of war Root has been reported as contemplating retiring from the cabinet, anil this report has also been denied. Mr. Root Is hut waiting, it is believed, to accomplish some of the reforms in army matters for which he has been working during the past two years. He is a very able lawyer and before his entry on his present duties had one ot the largest and most lucrative practices in the city of New York. His ac- cesiion to the McKinlcy administra tion was most fortunate, for the war department was badly organized and the annexation of new territories had involved many perplexing legal questions. Possessed of remarkable executive ability, with a wide experi ence iu businsss and legal matters, broad-minded, with a wonderful ca pacity for work, he brought order out of chaos, and piloted our colonial policy through the dangerous shoals which threatened shipwreck at the outset of our world-power career. Should he leave the cabinet his pass ing will be a distinct loss. Notice !
