The indications for Georgia and East ern Florida to-day are for fair weather with fresh southerly winds. A London paper quotes the Queen as having said recently that her pc-ople need not he anxious respecting the effect of the South African situation upon her health. “I may die,” she is reported to have said, “but there will lie some other cause. I don’t propose to let Mr. Kruger kill me.” And in saying this she. put especial emphasis upon the "mister.” The New Jersey Legislature ought to take proper steps to celebrate the oldest and one of the most famous citizens of the slate by setting apart April 1 and legalizing it as Noah Raby's birthday. For the last twenty eight years, or ever since Noah be came 100 years old, the newspapers of New York and New Jersey have annually paid a tribute to his tenacity to lit*, each one of them winding up with old Noah's solemn asseveration that he has used to bacco since he was 6 years of age. P.:,r the last forty years Noah has been a charge upon the public. The possibility of another duel looms up before Count Boni de Castellane; but, as in the case of De Roda.vs, Boni may he able to save himself the necessity of pinking the other fellow, and at the same time make anew friend who will use his influence with the government to have •ome royal visitor to the exposition sent to the Castellane house. There is a rumor In Paris, by the way, that the Castellanos can have old Menelek, the dusky king of Abyssinia, if they want him. The Amer ican countuss would much prefer a guest of another color, hut since Menelek is of royal blood it is said she would take him rather than have no royalty under her roef. The American people are beginning to become curlouß respecting the true in wardness of Webster Davis’ trip to South Africa, and what he discovered there. This desire for information is increased by the announcement that he is going to resign his offlee of Assistant Secretary of the Interior so that he may deliver lectures on the South African situation. Dili any one ever hear of a Republican politician giving up a good cilice solely for the pleasure of making speeches about the polities of a foreign country thousands of miles away? When Mr. Davis arrived at Lorenzo Marquez the pri vate car of President Kruger was await ing him, and he was taken in it arid car ried to the capital. When young Mr. Hay, • uccessor to Macrum, went to Pretoria there was no private car placed at his dis posal, but he rode in a cattle train; nev ertheless Mr. Davis represented only him self, so It Is said, while Mr. Hay was the representative of tile government and People of the United Buttes. WORK OF THE PHILIPPINE COM MISSION. There 1s a statement in Gen. Jo seph Wheeler’s article in the cur rent number of Leslie’s W* -.kly which suggests e*ome of the dtfiieuß'c* with which the Philippine Commission, of which Judge Taft is chairman, will have to contend. This statement is that as the population is made up of tribes having radically different characteristics and speaking different languages it may be necessary to provide for one tribe a gov ern men quite different from that provided for another tribe. The tribes not only differ in the respects mentioned, but it seems that they are hostile to each other. Therefore if concessions are made to one tribe that are denied to another trouble is likely to arise on that account. It is evident from this that the work the commission has to do is not easy by any means. It is expected that the com mission will be in the islands two years. If the difficulties it is likely to encounter are as great as they are thought to be two years will not be any too long for it to accomplish the task to which it has been assigned. Gen. Wheeler has a very high opinion of the Filipinos. In his opinion they can he governed easily, provided it is made apparent to them that they are to be dealt with justly and kindly. Among some of the tribes there are men of edu cation and ability. If they can be util ized in the work of establishing local gov ernments some of the difficulties now ap prehended may be easily overcome. Thus far, however, those who have been placed in positions of trust have not proven to be loyal to our # mm-nt. Some have been caught conspiring with the insurg ents and others have, resigned with such little ceremony as to undo much of the work done by Gen. Otis. But, if the suggestion of Gen. Wheeler should be adopted, namely, to divide the islands Into groups, giving each group a territorial form of government—a gov ernment suited to the needs of each par ticular group— how long would it be be fore the Americans placed in the higher positions would begin to agitate the ques tion of making states out of the groups? by the announcement that he has re signed his office of Assistant Secretary These American officials will be anxious to become high state officials and sena tors and representatives in congress. That is a question, however, that Gen. Wheeler <-oes not care to discuss at present. But it is a question that the American peo ple are thinking about in connection with that other question, namely, the holding of the islands as colonies. It is evident that the islands, if retained permanently, must be held either as colonies or, when they have the necessary population, be ad mitted as states. In whatever light the Philippine problem is .viewed its solution presents difficul ties. It Is these difficulties which make friends for the proposition that the isl ands shall be given their independence under an American protectorate, the pro tectorate to continue until they are abl6 to take care of themselves. SCARCITY OF CANDIDATES. The search for e vice presidential candi date by the leaders of each of the great political parties is becoming amusing, for two reasons. The first is that these leaders seem to think that the conven tions of their respective parties have nothing to do with the matter beyond ap proving their choice, and the second is that those who want the position are not wonted by the leaders, and those who are wanted by the leaders don't seem to want the position. Heretofore, as a genera! thing, the effort has been to find satis factory presidential candidates. It Is ap parently settled, however, that Mr. Mc- Kinley is to be nominated for President by the Republicans and Mr. Bryan by the Democrats. The Republican leaders would like to have Gov. Roosevelt for Mr. McKinley’s running mate, and if they cannot get him they would accept Mr. C. N. Bliss. Gov. Roosevelt says positively that he would not accept the nomination if it were of fered to him. He knows that if he were to accept a vice presidential nomination his chances for getting the presidential nomination at some future time would be destroyed. He seems to think that the masses of his party are waiting only for a favorable opportunity to make him their candidate for President. It may be that he has an idea that Mr. McKinley will lie pushed aside at the last moment, and that he will be called to lead his party in the approaching presidential campaign. But if he should not be called on to lead this year he feels sure that he will be his party's standard hearer four years hence. Therefore he refuses to be shelved by a vice presidential nomination. Mr. Bliss tells his admirers that they need not call on him to open his barrel ns a vice presidential candidate, beoousn he does not intend to do anything of the kind. He has had all of the political hon ors. outside of the presidency, he cares for. m Thus far he has refused to give a favorable response to the appeals of the leaders of his party. It begins to look therefore, os if the Republicans would have to fall back on Lieut. Gov. Wood ruff, who Is known chiefly as the owner of innumerable waistcoats. He is a per sistent but unacceptable applicant for the nomination. Ho would be dead weight on the ticket. After all, the leaders max have to leave the selection of a x-ice presidential candidate to the convention, In that event it may be Mr. Long, Sec retary of the Navy. The Democratic leaders are not so much exercised over a vice presidential candi date for their party as the Republicans, but they see trouble ahead. The Popu lists promise to make a demand for that offlee. Imleed. it is understood Ihat they ore planning to rapture it. A Populist cn the ticket would lessen the chances of the Democrats for winning the election. The Democrats are therefore trying lo find a Democrat who would be acceptable to oil of the elements that will be united in opposition to the Republicans. Thus f tr they have not been successful, and It may lie that the matter will have to be ieft to the convention. In (hat event Home one that has not been thought of by the leaders may lie nominated.

THE MORNING NEW S: TUESDAY, APRIL 3. 1900. the talk of two sex ITORS. It would be interesting to know wheth er or not Senators Butler of North Caro lina and Pettigrew of South Dakota were reported correctly in El Cubano, a Ha vana newspaper. Jt will soon be known, <T course, whether they were or not, be cause they will be asked about it, If they have not been already. It is supposed that I they reach* and Miami on Sunday, cn their way from Havana, and if they went im mediately to Washington they have arriv ed there by this time. If they were reported correctly they made some ratlur startling statements in Havana—statements that will have a ten d icy to cause trouble in Cuba. We are inclined to think that they did not ex press the sentiments attributed to them. If they had wanted to say that they did not bel.evb that President McKinley in tended to act honestly with ihe Cubans— that it Was his purpose to shape his pol icy so as to ho and Cuba as a colony of the United States—they could have done so with greater effect from their places in the Senate. They would hardly have gone to Cuba to say such things. The publica tion of such sentiments in Havana, as coming from two United States senators, Is likely to cause uneasiness among the Cubans, and perhaps an outb eak of law lessness. Th.- Cu ans are very suspicious, and many of them aie still in doubt as to the inf*ntion of the United States to keep faith with them. It would not require much to provoke resistance to our au thority. If there were any intention on the part of the President to act in bad faith with the Cubans the fact would be easily discovered. A resolution of inquiry, introduced into Congress, would bring the facts. Apparently neither the Democrats nor any of the Re publicans in Congress think it is the purpose of the administration to put anything in the way of Cuban independ ence. The understanding is that the steps being taken now are intended to prepare tile Cubans to manage their own affairs. If they were to be given abs lute control at once It is probable that the island would become the scene of c vil strife. For the good of the Cubans the management of their public affairs is withheld from them for the present. The municipal elections that are soon to be held, however, are for Ihe pur pose of putting the governments of the the present. The municipal elections that are soon to be held, however, are f r the purpose of putting the governments of the cities in the hands of the natives. Other elections are to follow—elections which will give the Cubans still greater author ity in public matters. Unless treachery is premeditated the Cubans will have the < ntire management cf their affairs just as soon as they are ready for it. The Re. üb hcans would not dare to undertake to withhold independence from them, and the Democrats would not permit them to withhold it. There must be some mistake in the interviews attributed to the two senators in question. A MESSAGE FROM THE BOERS. It is probable that if Secretary Hitchcock had known that It was the intention of Assistant Secretary of the Interior Davis to gather mate rial for a speech In behalf of the Boers during his visit to the Transvaal he would not have given him leave of ab sence. Mr. Davis would have had to make his journey as a private citizen. Mr. Davis is a good deal of a stump speaker, and it is probable that by the lec ture he intends to deliver he will arouse a great deal of sympathy for the. Boers. No doubt it is his purpose to do that. h:le he was at Pretoria he had several interviews with President Kruger, and it may be that he gave his promise to do what he could to get this country to take steps to bring the war to an end. There is no doubt that the smypaihy of the American people is with the Doers, but the question is, to what extent do they sympathize with them? Are they willing to engage in a war with Great Britain for their benefit? If they are not prepared to go that far of what benefit is American sympathy likely to be to them, however great it may be? A war with Great Britain would be very different from a war with Spain. We should have need not only for the Oregon, but also for eve y other warship we have. The United States- have already done for the Boers all it is possible for them to do without inviting the enmity of Great Brit ain. Mr. Davis says that he bears a message from the Boers to the American people, ami he is going on the lecture plat form to deliver it. He seems to admit that what he is about to do will have a ten dency to get the United States into trouble, and hence he has resigned his place under the government. But before the Amer ican people permit ihmselves to be influ enced by anything Mr. Davis may say they ought to make up their minds aF to what course they would like their govern ment to pursue in respect to the South African war. Do they want to lake sides with the Boers to the extent of giving them material assistance? If so. they have no need to have their sympathies further aroused. They can bring their influence to bear on the government without the help of Mr. Davis. If they do not de sire to render the Boers any more assist ance than they have already. Mr. Davis could tlo the Boers ill the service he prom ised to by giving their message to the pub lic through the public prints. It looks, however, as if It were his intention to be gin an agitation intended to get this gov ernment to intervene in the South African war in behalf of the Boers. It is possible that the white tramp O'Grady, who was lynched in Virginia the other day, was of noble birth. He has not been positively identified, but there are said lo hr 1 1 axons for thinking thai he was in the line of succession to an Irish pee - age. with only one life between him aid his inheritance. Another story is that he was the ton of the senior clerk in the o’- iice of the city clerk of New York. The Washington correspondent of a R.-. publl-an newspaper In Cotineeitcut says that “Senator JToctor has made a repu tation lor plain speaking which makes him no longer u welcome adv s-r ot the While House." isn't that u little queer? What U nd of ndvlseis do they like at the White ! louse, tlio-e who ept ak in rldd r-s and veil their thoughts with diplomatic language? Mr. John B. Wight, presi lent of the Board cf Commissioners of the District of Columbia, is a Republican and a life long resident of the capital. Recently the District Committee of the House of Rep resentatives was giving attention to the District appropriation bill. The subject of police was under ccns deration, an in creas. and amount for that service having been asked. During the course of Presi dent Wight’s statement to the committee he used this language: “I say it with all kindness, but J state it as a fact, that the JOOOO colored pe -pie here are equal to the criminal conditions in any city. They regard life as of no value what ever.” ‘‘But they are not safe-crackers,” exclaimed Chairman Grout. “They are worse,” answered President Wight. A \ery considerable proportion of the col ored population of Washington is made up of politicians and office holders from all sections of the country. Presumably some of the most advanced men of the race reside in Washington, the propor tion of educated to illiterate negroes be ing larger probably than in any other city. If under such circumstances the conditions are as President Wight des cribed them to the House committee, then it n,us: be that the education of the black man has failed of one of its most import ant functions. The campaign in Louisiana is growing particularly hot; so : ot, indeed, that It was only by ihe intervention of friend that a personal encounter between Gov. Foster and Senator Caffery was prevented last week. The cause of the bad feeling was a speech made recently by the Sen ator in which the Governor was unmerci fully excoriated. Heretofore Gov. Foster and Senator Caffery, who are related, hav ? been close personal and political friends, it was Gov. Foster, indeed, who first brought Mr. Caffery into prominence, ap pointing him to the Sfnate to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Sena to-' Gib son. In the present cami>aign Senator Caffery’s son, Don Caffery, Jr., is running for Governor on an independent ticket, against Gov. Fos-ter, who is the candidate of the regular Democracy. Shou:d Gov. Foster be elected, and it is probable that he will be, he would be a candidate to suc ceed Senator Caffery. For this reason, and to assist his son to the governorship, the Senator is making speeches in Louis iana. It is believed by many Louisiana Democrats that the Senator's action in taking part in a fight against the regular ticket will put a period to his career at Washington. So Representative Grosvenor of Ohio is going to try to frighten Congress into the adoption of the ship subsidy bill by shaking a war scare bogey in its face. We need a great fleet of vessels, he says in his report on the bill, as a means of national aid and national safety in times of international war or other disturb ances, “the probability of which is un happily not small now.” The probability that is not small must of course be con siderable. Where is the considerable probability of a war in which we should be involved? Lieut. Caldwell. Admiral Dewey’s sec retary, says there is no truth in the re port that Admiral and Mrs. Dewey are going to Europe for a long trip. It was reported that they would make such a trip, and a rumor said it was to be under taken in order to avoid prospective friction in the organization of the board of which the Admiral is to be the heal. Lieut. Caldwell says there has been no frictim and will be nones and that the Admiral and his wife are going to remain at home and keep their engagements. PERSONAL. —The Queen of Rumania (“Carmen Syl x-a”) has again shown her sympathy with England by writing a poem pru-ing the attitude of Great Britain in South Africa. —Three Pittsburg girls—Misses Mary B. and Ella G. Maloney and Gertrudp McCaf fery—were lately accorded an unusual fa vor by the Pope. They arrived in Rome after the regular audience at the Vatican and succeeded in obtaining a private au dience. They describe the Pope as seem ingly in perfect health. —The oldest editor in the country in ac tive service is ex-Judge Theodore Scoch. of the Jeffersonian, published at Strouds burg, Monroe county, Pennsyh ania. He founded the Jeffersonian in 1810, to sup port Harrison in the great "Tippecanoe” campaign of that year, and has continued its publication for fifty-nine years. He continues to perform his editorial duties and enjoys excellent health, with his fac ulties apparently unabaUd. CURRENT COMMENT. The New York Herald says: “The South is slowly waking up. It has always had brains, but it has lacked capital. It is developing a degree of enterprise which will soon make It a dangerous rival of the North. It has Iron and coal and water power and cotton and other raw- mate rial. and. besides, it has cheap labor. The manufactories already in operation have paid good dividends, and their success is the prophecy of other projects in the near future. There are cotton and Woolen mills, the tobacco crop is big, but there is a lack of railroid facilities and hotel accommodation. When tne South recog nizes its resources and makes use of them, site North will not hax’e, to turn its head round to so?* Its competitor, for it will be shoulder to shoulder with it." •t The Ix>uisvir.e Courier Journal (I>m.) soy?: “I* i? stated by an expert arith metician thett the sea< of Senator Clark of Montana, cost him $328,000. Without prejudice to the pending controversy, ought to be provided that it shall be un lawful hereafter to pay more than $30.000 for a seat In the Senate. The Senator, to be sure, has certain perquisites in the way of mileage, penknives, toothpicks, bromo-seltzer, anti-bilious pills, manicure pets, quinine. Indian clubs, printed rnnt ter and anti-fa-t preparations which may be sufficient to pay his l>onrd, but still it seems reasonable to restrict the price of a sent to the salary for the whole term. Those who hid more nre cippar* ently too anxious for the honor of serv ing <helr country in a millionaires’ club.” The Now York Journal of Commerce (Ind), says: “The cause of international arbitration makes progress slowly. Al though our country is supposed to l* strongly in favor of arbitration, a lot of our statesmen were recently protesting against the arbitration of our Alaskan bcundury because w* might possibly lose, I*ondn pas express great disgust with the Hwnrd jn the lielngoa Hay case b*- e ius of H* InsuffU iency, and several of them speak unfavorably of arbitration. In litigation, as iu wur, une party loses.” The German Ainl>nKti<lor’ Wit. The other day, says the Washington correspondence of the Chicago Record, the wife of a senator, who thinks she is u linguist, but whose friends have doubc, started a conversation with Herr Von Holleben, the German ambassador, in his native tongue. He listened patiently for a few morrfents, and then gallantly re marked: “Madam, you will do me a great favor If you will speak English. Ido not under stand German very well.” Mrs. Senator looked surprised, but took the hint. reminn Wit. The author of “Flowers from a Persian Garden” gives many examples or Orien tal wit and humor, some of which are extremely delicate and pleasing, says the Youth’s Companion. Among them is a story of a professional scribe to whom a man went, asking that a letter might be written to him. The scribe said he had a pain in his foot. “A pain in your foot?” echoed the man. “I don’t want to send you to any place, that you should make such an excuse.” “Very true,” said the scribe, “but when ever I write a letter to any one I am al ways sent for to read it, because no one else can make it out.” When a man becomes suddenly rich, it not infrequently follows that he becomes ns suddenly oblivious to his old friends. Thus a Persian, having obtained a lucra tive position at court, a friend of his came shortly afterward to congratulate him thereon. * The new' courtier asked him: “Who are you and why do you come here?” The other coolly replied: “Do you not know me, then? I am your old friend, and have come to condole w’ith you. hav ing heard that you have lately lost your sight?” Senator Pettigrew’* Opinion*. A huge bundle of manuscript was in Senator Pettigrews hands yesterday when he arose in the Senate, says tho Washington Post. He wanted the mass of matter printed for the use of the Senate, because, he said, it related to the dignity of labor. “Is this collection of wise sayings and aphorisms all by one person or by divers persons on divers subjects?" asked Sena tor Hale, with fine sarcasm. “Let me read one and see if the Sena tor recognizes it.” replied Mr. Pettigrew', and he read a quotation regarding the au thorship of which Mr. Hale expressed pro found ignorance. “It was written by Lin coln," triumphantly explained Pettigrew’, and he added that he had utterances by Washington and Jefferson on the same subject.”! collected them myself,” he add ed proudly. “The Senator is a busier man than I took him for,” remarked Mr. Hale. “What is it ali about?” asked Mr. Sl> oner. “It is an omnium gatherum of every thing under the sun,” replied Mr. Hale, laughingly. “You seem to know more about my doc ument than I do myself,’? said Mr. Petti grew. “Sometimes men know' a great deal that is not so.” remarked Mr. Spooner. How much longer the Senators might have engaged in these flippant remarks Is an unsolved problem. Mr. Sew'ell put a stop to the conversation by objecring to Mr. Pettigrew’s* request that the document be printed. Snicl the Poet to the Editor. “Sir,” said the poet to the editor, “I have a grievance,” and he breathed hard, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “The Grievance Committee is in ses sion,” said the editor with a wan smile; “state your point.” “Well, sir, in my lines to ‘Music’ in your Sunday edition,” said the poet, hot ly, “you grossly twisted two of my choic est lines out of all poetical semblance.” “Strange I didn’t notice it when I read the verses,” said the editor. “I thought they were all right.” “Thought they were all right!” echoed (he poet. “Absurd. I made an allusion to Pan, sir.” “Who is Paneir?” “Pan! Pan! the world’s earliest musi cian.” “Don’t think I ever met him.” “Met him! Of eburse you never met him! He played on a pipe of his own in vention. Well, sir, I took occasion to say in my poem that the wind was the first of all instruments.” “The wind, eh? Very pretty.” “Not as your proofreader conspired with your compositor to render it, sir. No, sir. I wrote: *The zephyrs, sighing in their reedy throats, had gently hushed the Pan like notes.’ ” “That’s really beautiful.” “Of course, it is. But how did it ap pear? Listen: ‘The heifers, sizzling in their weedy throats, had gently rushed the can like goats.’ How’s that?” “Awful, simply awful. I will investigate it at my earliest convenience.” “I tell you, sir, it’s enough to make a man want to give up poetry.” “So it is, eo it is! Why don’t you.” '.Vough for Me. From the Bismarck Tribune.
