on the subject of ship canal from
Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard. MIR.
Cooley said the ship canal project from
Lake Erie to the ocean was entirely
feasible. The route had not been fully
determined upon as yet, but he
thought, however, that it would be by
way of Lake Ontario, thence down the
Oswego and Mohawk valley to the
Hudson. Another route was by way
of Lake Champlain and the Hudson.

A BANQUET was given by the Minis

recently to a number of ministers of
neighEoring towns. As a side dish
Spanish onions were served. A resolu-

should not be eaten, thus censuring
the course with which Spain is pursu-
ing with regard to the insurgents in
Cuba. The resolution was adopted
and no onions were eaten.

1t Fitted the Place.

There is a little restaurant over on the
west side that was opened only week
or so ago and the proprietor has not
yet had time to select a name for It, says
the Buffalo Express. He is a professional
genial is the proprietor, and he has
bothered his patrons considerably by com
ing around while they were eating and
consulting with them about the name
for the place.
Last night two men dropped in there
for bite. The food was none too good
and they grumbled quite bit AS they
were at the desk paying the check the
proprietor began at them 49,
he INQUIRED in his blandest tones.

A WOmans View.

Mrs. Parkhurst, wife of the noted
New York clergyman and reformer,
talking upon the subject of cycling for
women. recently said: "Of course 1 do
not believe that bicycling is immoral
l am a Wheel-woman myself, and be-
lieve that the wheel is beneficial from
every point of view. The bicycle is a
very active agent in the advance OF
morality. A girl who rides the wheel
is lifted out of herself and her sur
roundings. She is made to breathe
purer air. see fresher and more beautl-
full scenes, and get an amount of eXer-
else she would not otherwise get All
this is highly beneficial
After touching upon several aspects
of cycling for women, Mrs. Parkhurst
said:
Then, as a final point. do not think
that a woman should ride in the
crowded city streets any more than is
absolutely necessary She should take
her bicycle exercise in quiet, retired
places. L cannot accustom myself TO
see women wheeling in and out of the
chief thoroughfares. avoiding trucks
and cable cars and carriages and barely
escaping with their lives. If all these
precautions are observed and women
neither dress conspicuously nor ride in
conspicuous places, nor ride overmuch.
I am sure they could take no better
exercise than bicycling, and 7 am
heartily in it's favor. I cannot believe
any crusade against it will be success
full"

THE NEWEST CUBAN POLICY.

Interest in the presidents forthcom-
ing message centres chiefly upon its
treatment of the Cuban question. What
ii will be is all matter of conjecture.
It may be a surprise one way or an
other: and it NAV be a surprise in
mentioning it in a very perfunctorv
way. A very few days will solve the
question
The latest popular plan is that Cuba
shall buy her independence and that
this country shall guarantee the pur-
chase price. That Spain would con-
sent to sell the island under any con-
ditions is absolutely improbable. She
Will onl:, consent to surrender her
sovereignty over it when the island is
absolutely wrested from her, either by
the independent or aided action of the
Cubans.
But why should this country guar
antee the payment of the purchase
price of Cuba, even should Spain con-
sent 70 its sale? II the Cubans could
guarantee this country they could
guarantee Spain. If this country
must take a mortgage. so TO speak,
upon the island to secure itself and
eventually the island. why not Dur-
chase the island direct from Spain?
The Cubans who are fighting for in
dependence do not want annexation
to the United States. Nor is annexa-
ton at all desirable. The Cubans are
prepared for independence and a gov
eminent Of their own, but they are
not prepared for participation in Amer
lean government. Geographically they
are near TO US, but otherwise they are
as foreign in sentiment and ideal to US
as old Spain herself. If the Cubans
can purchase their independence. well
and good, and God speed them in the
purchase, but there is no reason why
this government should guarantee the
purchase price.
The country is too near a change in
administration for any very radical
change of policy regarding Cuba to be
inaugurated. That there will be a
great demand for a very radical
change so soon as Major Mckinley
takes hold OF the reins of government
is most likely. Nor is it at all I'M
likely that there will be a radical
change in response to this demand At
present all is conjecture and nothing
Is certain.

CLEVELAND's ANTI-GERNIAN PROC
LA1IATION.

The action of President Cleveland
revoking his proclamation of January
&c, 1888. whereby the suspension of the
collection of tonnage dues on German
ships, under the act of June 19. 1856,
was declared, viii receive the hearty
Endorsement of every American citi-
zen. These dues were authorized to
be suspended when corresponding ton
mage dues were not levied upon Ameri-
can vessels in German ports, whether
by the imperial government or by the
maritime states of the empire. 1t now
appears, says the president in his proc
lamation, that tonnage or lighthouse
dues are in fact imposed upon Ameri-
can vessels in German ports, and in
consequence he issues his proclama-
ton.
For a decade or more Germany has
been very unfriendly TO American prod
ucts of all kinds, and exporters TO
Germany have been subjected to every
annoyance imaginable. Every effort
was made to comply with regulations
the most frivolous, but no compliance
could give satisfaction. Germany's
policy was dictated by the Agrarians
and the sole foundation of it was hos
tility to American products of all kinds.
The first great outcry was made
against American pork. The German
scientists never failed TO find it IN
healthy and dangerous, though no bad
effects from eating it We're ever ex-
perienced in this country or proven to
have resulted from Germans eating it.
Then objection was made to American
beef. II, too. was declared to be IN
healthy and unfit at least for food for
Germans. Very recently, within few
months, American apples that have
been shipped TO Germany have been
found to be full of disease germs. No
matter what food product has gone
from the United States to Germany, nor
how perfectly sound when shipped. its
unloading in a German port made it,
ipso facto, diseased and dangerous to
Germans. OF course the real danger
lay in American competition and in
nothing else.
President CIeveland's proclamation
will certainly irritate the German gov
eminent. but it viii as certainly please
the American people. Trade with all
the world is desirable. but trade with
Germany is not desirable if that
country insists upon hampering and
annoying to the greatest extent posi-
bic American merchants engaged in
it. This proclamation of the presidents
will do much TO bring the German gov
eminent to its senses.

4 TARIFF cospuzslo:..

The Massachusetts state board of
trade at its annual meeting adopted
this resolution:
Resolved. that the Massachusetts
state board of trade, believing that
changes in the tariff should be made
in accordance with business require
ments, and not because Of political
considerations, favors legislation by
congress which shall provide for the
appointment by the president of per-
manent non-partisan tariff commits
sion, to whom proposed changes in the
laws relating 10 the tariff shall be
submitted for consideration and report
before being acted upon by congress
1t is not at all probable that anything
practical viii come OF this and similar
resolutions by boards of trade, at least
not for a long time. Their chief sig
nificance is that they indicate that the
sentiment of the country is against
any specifically radical tariff legisla-
ton. They will also serve the purpose
of directing the public mind TO the
question from a point other than
partisan one.
Could there be a tariff commission
it is probable that any bill it might
frame or legislation it might recon-
mend would be of a rather moderate
nature, more moderate by considerable
than partisan action upon the same
subject. And because this would be the
case is a chief reason why the crea-
ton of a tariff commission is quite
impossible.
Every four years the business of the
country is more or less disturbed by
tariff agitation; in fact it may be said
to have become the bugbear of bust
ness, and this is so no matter whether
the tariff is to so W or to go down
It's power of disturbance is undimin-
ished no matter which course is Dur-
sued.
1t will be very difficult. if not in-
possible, task to get the tariff out of
politics to the extent of even allowing
a non-partisan commission to be ap-
pointed for the purpose of studying
the question and framing a measure
for presentation to congress The agi-
tation for such a commission will have
a tendency TO make any tariff legis
lation less extreme than it might
otherwise be. This of itself will be
much

There is no mystery about a sound
