MAY CLEAR FOR CUBA.
Steamer DauntIess Granted This Per-

Steamer DauntIess Granted This Per-
mission by Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-For the first
time since the present struggle in Cuba
began this government has given per-
mission to customs officials to clear for
Cuba vessel loaded, according to mani
fest, with munitions of war, presumably
for the insurgent army.
Yesterday the secretary of the treas
ury received telegram from the owners
of the Dauntless, at Jacksonville, stating
that they would apply to the collector of
customs at Jacksonville for clearance
to Cuban port with a cargo of arms,
but the oaths required by the statutes
would not be taken. The question was
asked whether under these circum-
stances papers would be issued. Later
a telegram was received from the col
lector at Jacksonville stating an applica-
tion to clear the Dauntless for Neuvitas,
Cuba, with cargo of arms, had been
made, and asking instructions.
This morning the secretary replied
substantial as follows:
''If the master of the vessel and the
owners, shippers and consigners of the
cargo comply fully with the laws and
regulations concerning the manifest and
take the oaths required, you may grant
a clearance to Neuvitas, Cuba. Oatht
must be taken and subscribed in writing
as required by sections 41s7, 419S anC
4200 of the revised statutes"
The port named as the destination ii
on the Northern coast of Cuba and ii
occupied by Spanish forces. Treasury
officials therefore are of the opinion tina
the oaths required will not be taken.

Distress among Farmers or an ArSeh-

New YORK. Dec. 30.-A Herald dis
patch from Buenos Ayres says:
The agricultural commission appointed
to investigate the condition of agricul-
ture IN the province of Santa Fe will
make report to President Uriburu this
week.
The report will, it is said, show DIS
astrous state of affairs among the farm
ere. in the province. It will recommend
as the only salvation commercially an
issue of 81 ,0O0, 900 in mortgage bonds t
be used in assisting the farmers in this
crisis.
Other measures of relief will also be
proposed in its report. The commission
ers say that the corn crop in the prov
ince will fall so, 900 tons short of the ac-
tual necessities of the people.
Buenos Ayres is now sending grain to
Santa Fe to relieve the distress. In or
dinary times the yield in that province
is 100000 tons, but the whole crop this
year is practically failure. The Buenos
Ayres farmers will continue to send
grain to Santa Fe for the relief of their
countrymen, though that will prevent
their exporting any grain.

Office of president of the United States,
and at the same time advertising in an
artistic and effective manner the re-
sources of California. Colonel Shaw's
novel project toward the cost of which
has already raised nearly $500, is the
erection of a California citrus arch on
one of the principal avenues of Washing
ton.
The design provides that the columns,
four in number, shall be completely en-
veloped by oranges and lemons. The
bases are to be faced with California
onyx and marble, The arch itself Is to
be of dressed California redwood.
trimmed with other California woods,
such as laurel, orange and tamarack.
On top, on either side, will be exhibited
full bearing orange and lemon trees, and
in the center California grizzly bear
rampant.
Suspended from the arch will. be a
number of crystal globes, to be filed
with different varieties of California
wines. In each of these an incandes-
cent light will illuminate the wine.
Palms and pampas plumes are also to be
used for decorative purposes.

PUSH THEM HARD.

It Is good news to learn that the in
terstate commerce commission is get
ting after the big four. It's first ex-
cursion since the supreme court con-
firmed it's power to question witnesses
as to the misdeeds Of their principals
is directed against the dressed meat
combine. 1t is well known that this is
one Qf the most powerful, wealthy and
eXtortionate monopolies in the coun-
try. Its center is in Chicago. where
the millionaire packing companies
have controlled the meat supply Of
the country, and through that have
practically dictated railroad rates. The
east-bound roads running out Of Chi
cago have been obliged to accept the
terms offered to them by the big four
as a condition Of getting the business.
AS the G o b e stated in an article
the other day, this is one Of the con-
Germs whose business is so enormous
that by throwing it to one
railroad or another it can prac-
tically make it's own terms. That
it has been able in this way to
secure rebates and to obtain rates
that discriminate against smaller ship
pers is the general belief. Every such
act is, of course, an offense against the
interstate commerce law, and punish
able by all the penalties therein The
difficulty has been to reach the male
factor. Sheltered behind the constftu-
tional provision that forbids a man to
be compelled to testify against him.
self, it has made rate sheets and con-
trolled railroads at it's will. No one
dared to reveal the facts, just as no
one dared to refuse the concessions
that the combine demanded.
Now, under the decision Of the
courts, the agents of the railroad COM
panies will be placed on the stand and
obliged to testify as to any unfair
ness or inequality Of rates to which
they have been parties. They will not
be subject to punishment for this:
but their principals. and more particu-
larly the dressed beef monopoly, will
be brought within the reach of the law.
The whole country hopes that the in
terstate commission will push these
people mercilessly to the wall, and in
flict upon them every punishment al
lowed by the law. If the commission
shall succeed in breaking up the in
famous control Of freight rates by
big combinations, and establishing an
actual democracy of rates, 1t will have
done more than 1t has done in all the
years since it was constituted to justi-
fly its creation.

DIR. ROBILLARD FOR CULLEN.

In a letter to the G o b e published
announces that he will work and vote
for Mr.. Cullen for mayor, and gives
his reasons for so doing. DR.. Rob-
Hard is prominent in the councils of
office and sat in the convention that
nominated Mr.. Doran; therefore his
detection will come as heavy blow.
But no man can say that the reasons
he gives are not strong and sufficient.
AS a citizen desirous Of seeing the
interests Of st. Paul promoted and
good government supreme, he cannot
contribute to the success Of Mr.. Doran.
That gentleman has been seeking this
Office persistently and zealously for
the last three years. The men who
are urging his election most strenu-
ously are men who have a hope that
they will get something out Of it. The
applicants for favors are his body
guard, and they are numerous enough
and rapacious enough to strike terror
into the heart of the taxpayer. The
election of Mr.. Doran means, as ev-
erybody knows, the triumph Of ma
chine and a liberal distribution Of the
spoils. The thoughtful people of st.
Paul will not permit or tolerate this
at the present time It is considera-
tions like these which, as in the case
Of DR.. Robillard, are influencing men
all over the city to say, more or less
openly, that they intend to vote for
Mr.. Cullen, as the fttest and safest
man, regardless Of party.
And, indeed, is not this only the at
titude Of the good citizen? Is it not
what every newspaper tells him to do
when there is no election at hand-and
what he hears in common discourse on
every side? There is no question Of
comparison between the two candi-
dates for mayor. Everybody practical
ly, except those who suppress judg-
ment wherever party name is in
volved, is free to confess that Mr.. Gull
len is the ideal man for the place.
And thousands Of them are ready to
say and do quietly what many are
beginning to say publicly, that they
will not be trammeled by an imagin-
ary party necessity when the interests
Of this community are at stake. They
are going to elect Mr.. Cullen mayor
this year, because it will be best for
the future Of st. Paul. He is a safe
man, conservative man, a true
man, an absolutely honest man.
He is unhampered by pledge, and he
has no political debts to pay with the
city patronage. Therefore the people
are declaring for him, and before the
end Of the campaign no Republican
will be either afraid or ashamed to
confess openly that he is going to vote
for Cullen for mayor, because he is
unquestionably and incomparably. the
best man for the place.
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-17

that as one Of the important reasons
against admitting them it is not the
only one nor one of the greatest i'm
portance. The G lobe e opposed the
admission of the territories admitted
in recent years on the broad ground Of
their insufficiency of. population and
the manifest injustice of giving to a
few thousand voters the same power in
the senate that a million have.
But the World-Herald meets our OBJ
jections with resort to the old trick
Of percentages in the comparisons of
the increase in sundry items between
Minnesota and Arizona, New Mexico
and Wyoming. For instance, 1t says
that while Minnesota increased her
population in the past decade 67 per
cent, Wyoming increased 1872 per cent.
While our acreage Of farms increased
80 per cent, Arizona increased S57 per
cent and Wyoming 1871 per cent.
While Minnesota's egg production in
creased but lat per cent, Wyoming
increased hers $50 per cent. And so on
through the compilation of farm sta
tistics Of the census of 1890. The pur-
pose is to create the impression that
the rate of increase in population and
production in the two territories,
whose admission a committee Of the
Republican house recommends, has
been so great as to show a present
fitness for statehood and an assured
future growth. The whole strength Of
the argument lies in the use of per-
centages; a. trick familiar to specious
reasoners more anxious to score points
than to state facts.
The artiffce consists in hiding the
real thing behind the apparent thing,
the diminutive actuality behind the ex-
pansive percentage. To illustrate:
Suppose a dealer should ask credit
on the ground that he had increased
his capital 500 per cent. This looks
imposing. When, however, the whole
saler, more cautious than our contem-
porary, inquired what that capital was,
and found that the original $100 had
increased to $500, he would disregard
the percentage Of increase, and limit
the line Of credit given to the actual
capital. So, when we come to examine
what the 1872 per cent of increase of
population Of Wyoming means. we
find that 1t signifies only an increase
from 2O,789 in 1880 to 6O,7O5 in 1890, a
population less than half Of that of
the city Of st. Paul. One hundred and
ninety-two per cent in ten years means
10000 souls. So it is true that Mime
sofa increased her acreage Of improved
farm lands "a per cent but this repre-
sents an increase from 7,426,693 acres
to II, ,127,953, while Arizonas similar in
crease of sc per cent represents an in
crease from 56,O71 to 1O4,12S. or but 1000
acres more than the improved land in
Lincoln county alone in this state.
