The kansan Statue.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The noise We hear in the west as the sun
goes down is the sound of Kansas mighty
mind being made up. Kansas has learned
that IL is entitled TO a statue IN the Capitol
at Washington, ard from the Mississippi
river to Dodge City fair women and brave
men are debating what form the statue
gestions now making with all the earnest
ness for which Kansas is renowned, but
the enlightened and serious among the
population are gradually dividing into two
opposing parties. each OF which Is deter
mined never to surrender. One Of these
parties demands that the statue shall rep
resent a set of whiskers of heroic size,
somewhat localized, of course, while the
other is equally insistent that IL shall be a
classic COSTUME. showing her as the Kansas
Goddess of Liberty. Another suggestion.
that II should be q statue of John James
Ingalls, as Prometheus snatching fire from
a composite statue of the Kansas legtsla
ture Jove, found favor at first: but
when it was learned that a heroic statue
of Mr.. Ingalls, would be three and one-half
abandoned, for IL Is generally agreed that
the statue must be heroic. So the matter
is now between Mrs. Lease and the wills
kers, with odds about even. The result
will probably be that the whiskers will
win, for though everything else is I'm favor
of the lady, there is one very serious OBJ
lection to her-a purely artistic objection,
of course. This is that the most important
and characteristic thing about both Mrs.
Lease and the Goddess OF Liberty as size is
in Kansas is the scream; and as no way
has been discovered to perpetuate the
scream In marble, II is feared that the pro-
ject will have to be abandoned.

TRADE WITH CUBA.
Possible Effect Of the Selection n
Senior NOret.

POSSIBLE Effect of the Selection of
Senior MOret.
The friends of reciprocity are encouraged
to believe that the selection of Senior Moret
as minister Of the colonies in the new Span
ish cabinet will lead to an improvement of
the commercial relations between the
United States and Cuba. Moret is the
recognized exponent of reciprocity in SPAIN
and he first came into public notice by en-
bracing the views of Bastiat and urging
complete free trade. When Secretary
Blaine was effecting reciprocity treaties
with South American countries his atten-
ton was attracted by speech by Moret.
in which the Spanish statesman took the
same position as Mr.. Blaine. The Spanish
tariff law, then as now contained two col
umns, one of them giving reduced duties
to countries entering into reciprocity ar
engagements with Spain. Moret advocated
still a third column, making retaiiatory
rates against countries not entering into
reciprocity, and designed to make reci-
procity a matter of commercial necessity
These views are said to indicate that the
new minister will advocate a colonial policy
giving Cuba the largest possible measure
of reciprocity with the United States under
the reciprocity clause of the Dingley law
Another position taken BY Moret will, 1t
Is believed, have a favorable effect on the
Cuban insurrection. This is his authorship
of the law emancipating the negro slaves In
Cuba, which is known as 1.-The Moret law"
When he presented the law he was per-
sonally attacked by Castelar,. who claimed
that the emancipation was not speedy
enough, and who asked If Moret wished his
daughters to read Cuban newspapers ad-
vertising the sale of negro women along
with the sale of mares and cows.
Yes" answered MOret; II will make my
daughters read these papers, and when
the sale Of women, along with mares and
cows. shocks their tender sensibilities 1
will tell them Your fatherswas the first to
call these beings to liberty"
The ''Moret law" has greatly endeared its
author to the negroes of Cuba.

Eastern and Business, an equal chance in
obtaining the commissions, variating from
the old system of allowing the Central
School all the regimentai appointments
The old system apport:oned the appoint
ments. regtmental and battalion. among
the schools. according to the length of the
schools course of study, the number OF
cadet companies and the length of time
the school had been represented in the
regiment.
In this old system the Central was al
lowed all of the regimental positions, as it
was the Oldest school, had the greater
number of companies, was the school where
the idea of having cadets originated, and
was the headquarters of the corps.
The Eastern was allowed the major of
the I'd Battalion. the Business the adju-
fancy of the I'd Battalion, and the Western
the quartermaster of the I'd Battalion. AS
the list Battalion was made up of Central
from that school.
The cause of the doing away with this
system of apportioning the appointments
was due to complaint made by the West
ern High School to the high school board
of trustees.
The Western complained that they should
have been given the major of the I'd Bat
talon last year, as a cadet of their school,
Captain Berry of Company H. the year
previous, and who was a foUrth-year STU
dent last year, outranked ]. Strother Miller
of the Eastern, who had been given the
appointment Miller was a lieutenant in
Company F the year before. and, as he was
the ranking cadet in his school last year,
was given the position, customary.
Major Harries made known the method
to be followed in the future few weeks
ago. 1t has been followed out and found
very satisfactory.
Description of the New System.
The new method is as follows:
First. Only such candidates shall be eX-
amined for these positions as have full
and regular standing in their respective
schools. This is to be understood as ex-
Guiding all such as are pursuing special or
partial courses. or are deficient, i.e., CON
ditioned,' in any branch. In the Central
School the seven cadets ranking the high
est may undertake the examination, in the
Eastern School the four ranking highest

highest. In computing scholarship rank

An odious Tax.

The tin plate makers wish to boom their business by increasing the duty on imported tin plate, to the injury of the canning industry and other indus tries that flourish by reason of cheap tin plate. Another blow is struck at business by abolishing the rebate on ex- ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex- ported in cans made of imported tin are allowed a drawback of the duty paid, and thus an export business has been built up in canned fruits, oysters, vege- tables, petroleum, etc. Over 1, GOO, GOO tin cans are sent abroad annually, con- taining oil which competes with that of Russia.
