Made a Difference.

IT'S all very well for you to say.
Loomis that this trouble in Cuba is the
struggle Of brave and oppressed peo-
pie for independence but let us look at It
practically" reports the Chicago Tribune.
Everything in the island Is going TO de,
structioh. Cuba will be a waste OF desc
lation when the war is over even IL the
insurgents gain their independence. In
the meantime, do you happen TO know
that this country imports--or used TO ,m-
port-about half its sugar from Cuba?
What are we going TO do for sugar when
the stock on hand gets low?"
1--WE can get along with less, Throop.
What are few pounds of sugar more or
less. when compared with the life of a
nation? You make me tired!"
Besides that, Loomis. the exports Of to-
bacco from the island have practically
ceased. and Il is said by good authorities
that within one year there will not be n
strictly hrst-class cigar for sale anywhere
in the United States"
Great Scott! II that is so the United
States ought 10 interfere, by George. and
bring the crazy islanders TO their sensesl"

Il believe" remarked the hotel clerk to
a group of listeners in a well known
Washington hotel, according to the Wash
ington Star, that the most patriotic men
we have in the United States are the
travelling statesmen"
And why they?" inquired a member
of congress.
Because they know the country better
than any other class and see it in all its
sections, and are among the classes who
maintain it and make it possible for the
rest of us to live with a great deal more
ease than we might otherwise. Now.
there's one who went out of the Office just
as the gentleman from New York came
In. That man travels for Boston house,
and his territory extends from Maine to
Southern California, and he makes the
trip every year. stopping usually in the
big cities, but taking many of the others
in on his way.
He has been doing it for years, until
he knows the people of the country in
every state, and l have yet to hear him
say a bitter thing or a foolish one about
sectional peculiarities or differences. He
is too broad for that-that is to say, he
is too patriotic. Then, again. he comes
to Washington once a year simply to
spend two or three days here so that
he may feel the sense of government by
contact with it, to walk about the streets
of the capital of the nation, to look at
the magnificent buildings of government
ownership, to stand in the glorious beauty
of the grandest building on earth. and to
experience for q brief season some of the
material results of his citizenship of the
proudest republic the sun has ever shone
upon
There was a round of applause for the
clerks presentation of the case.
Don't do it, gentlemen" he said, wav-
ing il off. Those are not my words, but
the words of that travelling man. He is
the Predetermined citizen, the firmest
patriot and the squarest man l know, and
if it were possible to have a nation of his
kind it would be possible to make one ma
ton of the whole world. He has been in
Washington for three days, and when he
leaves tomorrow he will take with him
more than a hundred books containing
pictures of the city and it's great build
ings, which he will distribute among the
children of the men he meets in a bust
ness way, and who may never be able to
get TO Washington to wander amid it's
beauties and learn here among it's marble
walls and pillars the all-important lessons
which they teach. l presume he has dis
tributed thousands of these pictures, and
has been a well-spring of patriotic senti-
ment to hundreds of young men and wo-
men in every state of the union. Who
can say as much for himself? And even
the congressman could not answer in the
affirmative.

A new luminary has burst upon Wash
ington, and is dazzling that capital with
its luster. Strange to relate. Mr.. BaiIey's
long-tailed coat brushed away the clouds
which hid this sun. But not even Bal
ley's coattails will be able to obscure 1t
again. 1t has come to shine for all.
1t was predicted when the Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis. formerly of Georgia,
was elected to congress from a far north
western dictrict. that he would shortly
achieve distinction at the capital He has
already got there with both feet" Some
times men go to congress and remain in
the background for years. Mr.. Lewis was
sworn in one day, and the next day a
great New York newspaper invited him
to discuss for it the question of etiquette
as bearing upon Mr.. Baney's refusal to
wear dress suit and attend the Presi-
dents dinner AS to whether Mr.. Lewis
is an authority upon the matter, it is only
necessary to refer to an extract from the
Washington correspondence of the Phil
adelphia Press, which we print upon an
other page. The narrative which we re-
produce is conclusive evidence of eminent
fitness on the part of the gentleman from
Seattle.
Mr. Lewis oveTcame his innate modesty
and wrote the piece for the New York
paper as requested. and it was printed In
double column width, with pretty Dor
der around it, He held that Mr.. Bailey
was wrong; that he should have submit
ted to the conventions of polite society.
And it must have been gratifying to MIR.
Lewis to read that his opinion was coin
cided in by so eminent an adept in good
form as the Hon. Rowland Blennerhas-
sett Mahaney of New York state.
There are some men who would be dis
posed to get the big-head If they were
thus suddenly elevated to the high posi-
ton of preceptor in the art of correct
dress to congressional and Washington
society. But Mr.. Lewis is not of that sort.
He will wear his laurels easily and be-
comingly, and will lead his conferees and
the country in the way that they should
dress, If they so desire.

Don't BIunder Again.

Chairman Jones is quoted as saying
that. in his opinion, the issue of the next
campaign will be the same as that of last
fall. The issue then was upon the tinan-
cial question. The democratic party blum
dered, and suffered defeat. Why should
it blunder again? The republican party
is apparently doing all IN its power to
place the democracy in a winning position.
That is not the object of republican aims
to be sure. but it will be the effect Of
them. if the republicans succeed in having
their tariff IDEAS enacted.
From various quarters is heard the
voice of opposition to tariff tinkering in
general, and TO the Dingley bill in partic-
ular. Not only are the democratic and
populist voters displeased with the out
look, but republican voters and business
men are beginning to raise their voices in
protest. The oregon wool growers de-
clare they do not desire Dingley rates on
wool. Give us" they say, moderate
rates that will remain permanent, not
prohibitive rates which will check con-
sumption and provoke reaction" They
clearly see the trend of things; that Ding
leyism forecasts discomfort, reaction and
another revision of the tariff.
A letter written the other day by re-
publican business man to the republican
congressman of his district who voted for
the Dingley bill, and quoted in the New
York Post, clearly indicates what the out
come of the Dingley rates in operation
would be- The laws Of trade are now
what they were under the Mckinley law,
and monopolsts are just as grasping now
as they were then. Says this republican
business man: Il buy steel nails in lots
of twelve kegs for use in my business, and
have had to pay a card rate of 81 IS key
when these very identical nails, made in
the identical American mills, were sold in
Hamburg, Germany on the card rate Of
81. So far from benehting the laboring
man, this monopoly has been the cause of
discharging great numbers of working
men, principally those employed in the
mills which the trust shut down"
Who was benefited by the duty? The
republican business man himself answers:
Perhaps 100 persons were benefited by
this duty. and 100000 injured. The ag-
gregate benefit to those 100 persons must
have been far short of the loss to the 9th
er 100000" With regard to the steel
rail pool, the circumstances were almost
identical. and the operations of the high
protective duty simply enabled a few
monopolsts to discharge thousands of
workmen, and pay a number of large fac
tories enormous sums to remain idle in
order that they might reap exorbitant
profits"
When republican business men begin to
take this view Of high protectionsm-the
correct one-it is time for republican con-
gressmen to pause and consider what they
are about to do. II is also time for demo-
crats to get together under their old ban
ner preparatory to making a winning as
sault upon the political enemy.

The passage of the Senate's Rivera res
olution, introduced by Senator Allen.
leaves that body open to the charge by
Spain of offensive officiousness. 1t is not
the Senates business to supervise and en-
force the rules of civilized warfare in
foreign countries. except where the rights
of American citizens are directly involved.
Rivera is not an American, but a subject
of Spain. and it is Spain's right to deal
with him according to her own laws. or
her own ideas of justice. 1t is none of the
Senate's business If Spain orders him to
be drawn and quartered.
