TO PAY A ROYALTY.

The senate and house conference
committee ON the Indian appropriation
bill has reached an agreement. BY
the Uncompahgres reservation are to be
leased in perpetuity upon the payment
of a royalty of IS cents a ton to the
government on all gilsonite mined
There is provision against trusts
which provides for the forfeiture to the
government of the claims Of holders
who enter into combination to limit the
production OF raise the price of as
phaltum.
The conference committee having
reached this agreement it is very likely
that it will receive the sanction of both
the house and senate. If it does, it dis
poses of the question of what shall be
done with the asphaltum lands. How
the leases are to be granted the dis
patches do not say; it is probable
though, that they will be made to the
first locators. If this is the case, then
there is apt to be the same rush to To-
cate claims for leasing that there would
be were the lands to be sold.
The antitrust provision of the agree
ment will be easy to avoid, as all such
provisions are. The government will
hardly undertake to say that the lessee
of a claim shall produce so much
year or that he shall not sell to whom
he pleases and for what price ht
pleases. Unless this is done there ar
all the loopholes anyone could desire
to escape the antitrust provision.
The disposal of these asphaltun
lands has assumed an Importance, il
the minds of many, commensurate
with the preservation of the fur sea
or the annexation of Hawaii. Undel
the policy that it seems will now be
adopted, the government will derive
some little revenue, but 1t is doubtful
lection. If but small revenue is col
lection. If but a mall revenue is col
lected, it is not improbable that the
lands will be disposed of in fee to their
lessees in few years. Any policy that
will throw the asphaltum beds open &c
the public is better than the presen;
dog-in-t the manager policy Of the gov
eminent.

ever had anything III the way or du-
thority that was not high.
If these negotiations are going ON it
is hardly probable that many know
what their nature is. not even high
authorities sn Havana That the adj
ministratIon would be very glad to see
the war or rebellion, whichever it may
be called, in Cuba cease there can be
no doubt; but it is not at all probable
that Spain would enter into any rego-
tiations with the United States or any
other country for the purchase of the
island. Her pride would permit her 20
acknowledge the independence of the
Cubans far sooner than to sell the
island even to the Cubans, much less
to anyone else. It would be to sell ma
tional honor for money, and that Spain
will not do
That Spain is carrying on any nego-
tiations at all with the state depart
ment relative to Cuba as a Spanish
colony may be doubted. Such negotia-
tons would be a virtual acknowledge
ment that the island is lost. 1t now
looks as though such were really the
case. The mother country has put
forth efforts to raise men and money
to suppress the rebellion that she was
hardly thought capable of, but still
there have been no results at all COM
mensurate with these efforts. How long
can Spain continue these efforts? She
once waged three years war in Cuba,
and she may be able to do it again. So
far as the United States are concerned
one thing seems quite certain, which is,
that no policy will be adopted looking
to the recognition of the rights of bell
ligerency or independence on the part
of the Cubans. Even the Hispania-
phobes appear to have abandoned the
policy of trying to stampede the gov
eminent. That policy only injured a
good cause

The supreme court has decided that
bonded goods when withdrawn from
bond must pay the rate of duty in force
at the time when TIE goods were i'm
ported, says the Philadelphia Record.
\ consignment of steel rails imported
in 1887. when the duty was $3.50 per
ton, withdrawn from bond in 1895, was
held TO be liable for duty at the rate
payable in 1887, though in the mean
time the rate of duty had been twice
reduced by successive acts of congress.
This decision would seem to be conclu-
sive as against retroactive legislation.
The duty of $3.50 per ton was almost
or quite confiscatory

Springfield Republican,: More than one
OF 1894, watching the angry massing of
discomfort and radicalism in the last
national campaign, came to regret that
annuling decision of the supreme court,

wealth of the metropolis has evidently
not yet learned the lesson conveyed in

eous contemplation of the blessings to So

bic position.

LETTERS TO MONTPELIER PKoPLE.-Mrs.
Clark, Montpelier, VT. Madam:-Perhaps
you think the price of our Harmless soap
too high.
Will you permit us to say you are wrong?
1t costs no more than your Sc. or sc. soap;
it costs less by the week, and that is the
way to reckon. You will use less of 1t.
We have told you nothing about the
principal part Of washing economy. Cheap
soap rots the clothes ours don't. The diff
ference is perhaps $50 to 800 year.
If your soap makes washing easier-very
likely it does-it is strong with lye, and a
very bad soap.
Your grocer sells Harmless soap on a
positive guarantee that one bar &C., will
outwash two &c. cakes. "Three cents back
If it don't" Yours truly, G. H. Post & Co.,
