a bcpefcent transformation of the economic
conditions of Cuba. The island owes nothing
to free sugar, but everything to Reciproclt!
with American diplomacy behind It,
The point which honorable F'rce-Trade Jour
nails like "The Record" ought to be ready 10
concede is that there is an essential difference
between the repeal of duties on competing ana
nop- comnetinc articles 4 Protectonist colln-
try can take off the duties on non-competlng
articles without adopting Free-Trade prin-
ciplcs. This is what the United states has
done in repeating the sugar duties. it Is also
what Cuba has done in scaling down inc rc'c-
mo duties OH American flour and PROVISIONS
protccted interests have not suffered thereby
in either country while food has been cheapened
and the e,port trade enlarged on each side.
What 1.-THE Record" proposes when 1t recon-
mends the repeal of the duties on WOOL, cloth-
ing tin plate and other protected articles Is
rrco Trade in the English sense, since IL IN
wolves an unrestricted exchange OF competing
,roducts That kind Of exchange does not
cntcr at all into the present Reciprocity ar
roncomcnts between the United states and
Cuba.
In order TO sum up the matter we may refer
10 the English revenue system rs the Npicai
Ercc-Tradc Tariff. 1t taxes what Is not pro-
duccd in the United Kingdom, and removes all
restrictions upon trade in competing products.
That is Free Trade, but it is not the Reel
procity policy Under that policy taxes upon
non competing articles are removed and tariffs
arc rcadiustcd upon the principle of compen-
satinc advantages without the sacrifice of home
industries or National interests. American
Reciprocity is not English Free Trade but
normal and logical development of the Pro-
tcctiou system.

ouirements of the Constitution The provision
of that instrument, twice repeated, Is that Il
rcapportionment must he made at the session
of the Legislature following the return OF an
enumeration Section of Article Ill, re-
ferring to Senate districts, provides as follows :
"An enumeration of the inhabitants Of the
State shall be taken. under the direction of the
Legislature, in the year 1850 and ut the end
Of every ten years thereafter; and the said DIS
tricts shall be so altered by the Legislature at
the first session after the return OF every
enumeration. that each Senate district shall
contajn.- etc. The following section in the
same article declares that "the Legislature.
at its first session after the return of every
enumeration, shall apportion the members OF
Assembly among the several counties" etc.
Now. what does the phrase, " first session after
tbe return of every enumeration SIGNIFY
Plainly il does not mean that the rcapporton-
mcnt shall be made by the same Legislature
which receives the return of an enumeration
much less by the Legislature which orders the
enumeration to be taken. 1t is inconceivablc
that the trainers of the Constitution intended
that this should be done at an extra session
called for that specific purpose. The reason
for delay and for requiring action on such an
important question by two Legislatures is OBJ
yious: it is to insure fairness and to prevent
the very thing which has lately como to pass.
The constitutohality of the Rcapportionmcnt
Act is oren to the giavest doubt, and the courts
should be asked to pass upon it at an early day
so that the final decision may be secured be-
fore ARRANGEMENTS for the next election are
completed.

A TTLNER1HIE Ia ".

There is no doubt that ample ground exists
for attacking the consttutiOnality Of the Legs
latiye Rcapportionmcnt law passed at the re-
cent extraordinary session of the Legislature
TIE TRIBUNE's Albany correspondence on
Monday contained an outline Of the plan OF at
tack. to which the Hon. William \. Sutherland
the Republican candidate for Attorney General
last fall. and Senator Iiscock have been de-
voting careful attention. The law has more
than one vulnerable point In the first place,
the enumeration on which the new apportion-
ment Of Senate and Assembly districts has been
made has been shown to be fraudulent and I'M
Trustworthy. THE TRIBUNE's charges have
been specific and detailed and no attempt to
disprove or overthrow them has been made
To redistIct the State on such an enumeration
is the grossest kind of outrage. Moreover, the
Constitution has clearly been violated in that
the new Senate districts do not contain, as
nearly as may be, an equal number of in
habitants," and the Assembly districts are not
"apportioned among the several counties of
the State, as nearly as may be- according to
the number OF their respective inhabitants"
III the words we have quoted from the State
Constitution mean anything, they mean that
such gerrymander as the recent Legislature
was guilty of shall not be pcrpetIaed and
of course it is within the power of the courts
to set aside law involving such an injustice.
Another important point is not likely TO
escape the notice of the able counsel engaged
in the preparation of the case This is that the
reapportionment, being passed at special scs-
sion Of the Legislature, does not meet the re-

TIE FLOWER ADMINISTRATION TO DATE.

ton Of its appreciation of the Gubcrnaorial
services of Mr. Flower to be known OF all men.
Does it claim that if the Executive " fulhls the
promise Of the present. the party will hail him
as n second Seymour or n second 1ilden, or
as n good second Of any of the great Demo

The Presidents firm and consistent attitude
in reference to silver is the subject of an in
teresting Washington dispatch printed on an
other page. While an earnest believer in BIZ
metallisn, he perceives clearly the unfortunate
results that would follow the unlimited coinage
of silver by this country alone, and he has ac-
cordingly set his face stenly against any and
all free-coinagc schemes. How much he has
accomplished is matter of record. Mr.. IIar-
risons success in bringing about an interna-
tional conference on this subject is not the
least of the triumphs achieved by the present

1t is fine point which Judge McAdam has

shall be granted for saloon within 200 feet OF

The saloon in question has been in operation Tor

renew il, and on Il strict construction OF law
could have taken no other course. Judge McAdam
intImates that the law has been construed too
literally, and will probably grant mandamus

Excise law is certainly an elastic measure, but IL
