40 as to retain control of the colonial market.
This involves dense ignorance OF all the facts
OF the case. Spain has given notice Oh the
termination of all treaties containing the most
favored nation clause so as to be released from
technical embanassments caused by her agree
ment with the United States. American ex-
porters have not been damaged in Cuba by COM
petition with France, England and Germany SO
much as by competition with Spain. BY Sid
ing scale of reductions extended over period
OF twelve years the duties on imports from spain
have gradually been taken OF. III Reclproclty
had not been arranged American Hour on July L,
1892, would have been liable to a duty OF
So 62 1-2 while Spanish -four would have been
free The effect of Reciprocity is to nix rate
OF 90 cents on American -four. Nothing that can
be done By tariff readjustment after that date
can give any increased advantage to Spanish
-four, which is already practically free. All tho
IMPORTS placed on the free list by Reciprocity
win remain there. The gains Of the American
export trade are permanent, and cannot be off,
set BY tariff manipulation in Madrid.
The best course for the AngloAmerican press
to pursue respecting Reciprocity is to fall back
,pon the original line Of attack and to condemn
the policy as unconstitutional 1t is policy
which is promoting the prosperity OF the export
trade and increasing the foreign market for
American farm products and manufactures. This
is demonstrated by every ship clearing for Cuba
loaded with cargo from stem to stern and by
the orders received from American millers de-
noting an enormous increase in the demand for
-four The facts cannot be faced, and conse-
quently our embarrassed Frec-Trade censors
would do better to raise the constitutional issue.
Their Democratic readers, we suppose, Will not
require very much argument in order to be con-
WINGED that with reference to Reciprocity the
Harrison Administration and the last Republican
Congress violated the requirements OF conshtu-
tional law in promoting the business interests OF
the country. Then in the last extremity they can
charge the Secretary of State with breaking faith
with every country with which Reciprocity
Treaty has been made and with overwhelming
the Administration with nfamy and foul play.
With their large resources Of private Information
and their fanatical hatred Of Mr.. Blaine they
ought to be able to hold out in some way even
if the facts of Reciprocity are bearing heavily
AGAINST them

An important assembly of college presidents
and alumni is to be held in Brooklyn next week,
the object Of which is to further the work OF the
Young Mems Christian Association in the colleges
of the East. Much interest is felt in the coming
meeting, the presidents Of Columbia, Princeton,
Amherst and Wesleyan having promised to be
present; and Harvard and Yale will be repre-
sented by members of their faculties. President
Low is to preside. The Brot klyn Young Mems
Christian Association has for some time been
holding weekly meetings of college men, and
the coming meeting will be the elimination OF
these. Its promoters are working earnestly and
there is every promise of large and successful

AN APPEAL FOR THE RUSSIAN HEBRE US

On another page of this issue of The TRIBUNE
will be found an appeal 10 the citizens Oh New
York for money to aid the distressed Hebrews
who have been driven to this land of liberty
by the cruel prosecutions to which the people OF
their race have been subjected in Russia. Dur
ing the year now closing some 10000 Russian
Hebrews have arrived in this country. Thus
far the people Of their own faith have borne
the expense of transporting the refugees to places
where they are enabled to earn their livelihood.
The sum of sos, 900 has already been con-
tributed for this purpose by the Hebrews Of this
city. The burden, however, has become heavy
one, and at length it has been resolved to ap-
peal to the people OF New-York without refer
ence to race or creed for assistance in this work
Of humanity. The suggestion that this be done
came. indeed, from an outside source-from ex-
Judge Dillon, who wrote most earnest and SYM
pathetic letter to the committee who have issued
the appeal, which we heartily commend to the
attention OF our readers.
1t is not the intention TO use the money which
is sought for the purpose Of encouraging emf
grafton from Russia. The Hebrews there have
no other alternative. They are ruthlessly driven
from their homes. In many cases they have no
opportunity to collect or dispose of their posses
sions, and consequently they reach these shores
in pidful and almost pennileSs condition. The
money contributed by Baron de IIiIsch has pro-
yided many with tools and other means IS Sc
curing a livelihood, as well as enabled them to
reach places where they can have a chance to
work. In cases of special distress, where i'm
mediate relief is needed, the United Hebrew
Charities come to the assistance Of the i'm
migrants. But more money than these sources
can furnish IL required, and, @ has bean

The Democratic Senators and the Democratic
party will win only the contempt Of the country
if they make an attack upon such an upright,
honest, fair-minded and impartial judicial officer
as Judge Woods of Indianapolis. The promotion
which has come to him at the Presidents hands
is well deserved and, of course, he. will be con-
firmed by the Senate, no matter what few

Governor Hill is careful and busy about many
matters these days. One of the things that
deeply concern him, as our Albany dispatch this
morning shows, is the place for holding the
National Convention Of his party. Two things
appear to be certain is THAI he does not want
it held in New-York; the other is that St. Louis
would be equally distasteful to him. His objec-
ton to both those cities Is the same-that there is
too much Cleveland sentiment abroad. 1t is
possible, though, that when the members of the
Democratic National Committee come together to
decide this question, fiey may not be governed
entirely by David b. Hills preferences.

The unoorroborated testimony of child of six
is not to be accepted implicitly 1t is an extraor-
binary story which is told by the Patterson IN. j.
boy who says that his stepfather attempted to
drown him on Saturday evening Four times,
however. the lad has repeated his story, and it
does net vary in the telling. His mother bears
witness that her husband hated the child and
treated him with the utmost harshness. The
mans account OF his movements on Saturday
night is not satisfactory, and calls for careful
Investigation. The boy was found, almost
drowned, in the Passaic River, three miles from
his home. How he got there is the question to
DO answered.
Senator Plumb's death was plainly the result
of overwori. He had been warned OF the risk
he was running, but, being man Of tremendous
energy, he refused to act on the urgent advice Of
his physician that he tighten his labors. Mr..
Plumb has been prominent hgme on the Repub-
lcan side Of the Senate since 1878, being now
almost midway OF his third term. lie was en-
dowed with the genius Of hard work, and was a
fluent and forcible speaker. Until recently bis
health had been good. Last fall he conducted q
vigorous campaign throughout Kansas, and he
returned to Washington to resume his work with
OH his customary encrgy. The question of his
successor is an interesting one since the present
Kansas Legislature is controlled by tho Farmers
Alliance. and another will not be elected till
next autumn. The vacancy will, however, be
filed by the Republican Governor, and there is
no chance that Senator PETER will have COL
lssgue Of like views with his own. 1t Is thought

THE MIN sTREL.

lie thought he once could siEg
A song Of love and spring,
But stammered, though he held full strung
Tyre;
Because he lacked the art
Which later years impart;
Because the skill was less than the desire.
And now he seems to know
Just how the tune should flow.
But misses the young ardor once SO strong.
The impulse of the heart
Is slower than the art;
The skill to sing is better than the cong.
The SOLDERING touch of timo
Holds back the hasty rhyme
That in the heat Of youth once spurned
control;
For snarled in web OF thought
His flying dreams are caught;

menagerie had been ditched by rail-
way accident on road in Tennessee
and one of the lions had escaped
from bis broken cage and sought shell

The train was following the circus
and had come to stop and most of
the passengers went forward to lend
the Snowman helping hand. The
lion was the only animal which got
away, and the men were calling for
nets and ropes and volunteers, when a
a lanky, angular native, who hadn't
had his hair cut in year, and who
was riding a mule even more homely
than himself, reached the highway
crossing and dismounted.
