Shortstop Elberfield, with whom the
Cincinnati management is negotiating, was
indefinitely suspended from the Detroit
club and fined $100 for assaulting an umpire
a few weeks ago. The man is said to be
a good one, and it is hoped the Cincinnati
club will secure him. The National League
needs few men of his nerve. They come
in very handy at opportune times.

At latest accounts Gen. Methuen was still
encamped at Modder river, awaiting sup
plies and reinforcements. The fact that he
has not sufficiently recovered from the eff
fects of his engagement with Gen. CronJes
forces to continue his march to the relief
of sorely beleaguered Kimberley, tells more
eloquently than words of the punishment
the Beers inflicted upon him. Could Gen.
Cronje have maintained his position, and
his retreat at the close Of a drawn battle
has not yet been explained, he would have
effectually blocked Gen. Methuen's advance
and retained O. position of unusual strength
and strategic Importance. The Boer losses
must have been great to compel retreat.
President Kruger is making good his threat
to make England's conquest Of the two re-
publcs dearly-bought victory but his
own forces are suffering fully as great
losses as those Of Great Britain. The VIC
tory of Majuba hill has not been repeated.

A witness in . separation trial in New
York has undertaken to draw the line in
the use of face powder and paint. She
at first declared that no lady will ever
use powder or paint to disfsure or beautify
her face. as the observer may decide. The
next day she appeared In court and modi-
fled her former testimony by saying: "A
woman might possibly use little bit Of
powder and still be lady. but II she uses
paint-never." There is no doubt but that
the masculine portion of the community
will agree with the witness. In comment-
ing on the case the New York Sun sug-
gests that "since we have attached or
identified with our political system large
number of daughters and granddaughter
Of Spain, country where beauty il great
and manners are supreme" that in eonsid-
Grafton of the fact that powder is notably
favored by spanish-bred women. out of

not with great admiration. at least with
increased respect.

CUBAN SUGAR,

An incidental subject to come before
congress is the policy to be adopted by
this country toward Cuba as a CONNER
cial neighbor when she shall have
ceased to be ward. Cuba raised In
her best season about one million tons
Of sugar. A delegation from the island
recently called upon President McKin-
ley and asked that it be suggested to
congress to give Cuban sugar the same
terms as sugar from the British West
Indies under newly made, but as yet
with the British government. Until the
terms Of those treaties have been made
public comment is useless, but 1t may
be assumed that whatever 1t is consid-
cred wise to concede to British colony
should be conceded to an island whose
conditions are practically the same.
On the face OF IL this looks like
reasonable request. It is certainly more
modest than a demand originally made
entirely free of duty. This seems such
kindly thing to do, such a neighborly
act to a weak and struggling neighbor.
that American sentiment almost
warmed up to it. 1t will. however. be
a very serious matter for this country
IL such a concession were made. The
United States imports about 10000
tons of sugar annually, from which 1t
derives a revenue of about $55,000. 900.
Even with only 100000 tons raised in
Cuba we should lose a revenue of $685.
100000 Nor Is that the worst. William
J. Clark, in his recently published book
on the island, says that sugar can be
produced cheaper per pound in Cuba
than in any other country on the face
of the globe. The island itself is said
to be the richest piece OF ground on the
American hemisphere. Under the pro-
posed treaty by which the duty was to
be abrogated. IL confined to Cuba alone.
the remission would be equivalent to a
bounty of cents per pound, which 10
said to be the cost of the article at the
factory.
1t would seem to be out Of the ques-
ton to do more than to put Cuba upon
the same footing as the West Indies.
There is no apparent reason for sending
TO Cuba money which should be ex-
pended in the purchase of the products
of Louisiana or Of the Northwestern
states which are being urged to culti-
vate beet sugar.
incidentally, very funny scene is
presented. BY the New York Evening

COURAGEOUS UNION PRINTERS.

The resolutions passed by the typo
svaphicsl unioA Of Boise. Idaho. form
q really stronger defense Of Gov. steun-
enberg than all the elaborate Official ex-
plantations. The members of the typo
graphical union were naturally in strong
sympathy with the members OF that
other labor Organization wh9se acts
caused tha trouble. They had NO object
In befriendinG the governor, and their
tendency would be to magnify his Of
Tense and minimize any good that he
might incidentally have dane.
The union was requested by other
labor organizations to strike the gov.
ernor's name from its list of honorary
members. Acting on that request. the
union printers investigated the matter
20 far, ~ It related to the governors
Ahare. and having heard his version.
concluded that ne had only acted in ac-
cordance with his sworn duty. and they
refused to sxpel him. They have dis
played even greater courage thaa that,
because they have placed themselves
on record az jnstifying his course. These
men live not far remote from the troubles;
they have opportunities for knowing
the truth. and they have had the man.
liness to rise above prejudice and to
proclaim their convictions. They are
deserving Of praise, and they have done
far more in the true interest of labor
than IL they had. In spite OF what they
know to BE- the facts. permitted Them
selves to be led by q mistaken sympathy
into doing an unjust deed.
A Chicago newspaper which seeks to
be influential among working people. In
recent issue denounced the governor
OF Idaho on the ground that he had put
men In Jail for descending their rights.
and had sent for United States troops
in order to intimidate working men into
submission 10 their masters. OF course
everybody familiar with the facts knows
this to be moRstreusly untrue. II Is
notorious that there was no interior
ence by either state authorities or a
military force until the strikers threat
ened the lives Of men. and after they
had inflicted wanton damage upon prop
erty. II In known that . reign of terror
existed. and that the ringleaders In the
riots were not miners who belonged to
the district. but agitators who had drift
ed into the camps and deluded the more
peaceable and enticed them to an out
rage which brought odium upon them.
but in which they had little share.
The action OF the Boise printers will
no doubt have the effect Of bringing q
large number of people in Idaho to a
similar conclusion. Unfortunately there
were many who knew the governors
action to be wise, but who feared to
take sides with him on account of the
unions. A great injustice has been
checked and perhaps may be entirely
repaired through this courageous act.
