that facts which have arisen since the

Not a Fair Measure.

The bill introduced in the legislature
requiring railroad companies to keep
an agent all the year at stations having
yearly business exceeding 100000 is
regarded as very unfair measure by
the companies. A prominent railroad
man speaking OF this said that at many
of the stations agents we're kept all the
year in spite OF The fact that the receipts
we're not nearly $4,000. simply because
a large number OF people we're accom-
modated thereby. Statjone such as
Dalrymp]e, Sidney and Garfield YIELD
an amount largely in excess Of that pro-
vided for in the bill during two or three
months in the fall but owing to the fact
OF being only few miles from other
towns 1t would not pay to keep o agent
during the entire year nor would many
people be accommodated by such An ar
rAngement.

The Alert is in receipt Of a copy Of
The Luchs, the leading Havana news
paper, forwarded by Alfred Dickey: Feb.
6. 1t is large six page paper of eight
columns each printed partly in Spanish
and partly in English. 1t notes large
list of passenger arrivals from New
York and Tampa and is full Of items Of
Cuban American interest.
The editor says the question asked
on every hand is, when will
the American army OF occupa-
ton leave the islands? The rainy
season is approaching and the dan
ger to men not accust stoned to the clim
steis very great. Instrumentation says

from indefinite garrison duty as they are
q class of men, who enlisted for fighting
and have generally, other occupations at
home. The reasons from the Cuban
standpoint for the removal OF the army
are given at length and with frankness.
It is stated that the 10000 men now
there make an implied threat to the
Cubans, and the desire OF Gen. Wood to
increase his command to $4,000 is not
rellshed, as this causes an unsettled
feeling among the natives. The paper
adds: "The longer the army stays here,
the longer will be the expenditure
charged to Cuba, having been incurred
by freeing her. The island has com-
mercisl struggle to GO through now.
and she should not be hampered by the
war debt which American politicians
would like to force upon her. Annexa-
ton IS considered by great many
Cubsns as the best thing for Cuba, but
it must como by request and the people
should be given unhindered opportunity
to teach the world that there are men OF
brains and ability here as we'll as in
America.
Some men should be left here, five Or
ten thousaod, to guard plantations in
the districts most exposed to depreda-
ton from hill bandits, and to assist in
organizing the rural and municipal
police, but the bulk of the army must be
removed and at once"

not until he saw that every one had

Democratic Leader Speaks at a Banquet
at the Minnesota Capital.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 15.-The Democratic
city and county organizations gave a
banquet at the Ryan hotel Tuesday
evening, having as their principal guest
Colonel w. J. Bryan. MIR. Bryan spoke
'for Democracy" and said in part:
The ratification Of the treaty instead
of committing the United States to a
colonial policy really clears the way for
the recognition Of a Philippine republic
Lincoln, in his first inaugural message,
condensed an unanswerable argument
into a brief question when he. asked,
"Can aliens make treaties easier
than friends can make laws?' The
same argument is presented in the ques'
ton: Gould the independence OF the
Filipinos be secured more easily by
diplomacy from foreign and hostile
nation than it can through laws passed
by congress and voicing the sentiments
of the American people alone? IT inde-
pendence is more desirable to our peo-
pie than a colonial policy, who is there
or what is there to prevent the recog-
milton of Philippine independence! 1t
is absurd to say that the United States
can be transformed from a republic into
an empire without consulting the voters.
The imperialists may be willing to
deny to the Filipinos the right to gov
ern themselves, but they cannot deny to
the American people the right to deter
mine the policy to be pursued by the
United States in the settlement of the
Philippine question.
Until the people express themselves.
we can only guess at their views, but
is it not safer to suppose that they will
adhere to the ideas and policies OF a
century than to assume that they Will
90 back to the creed Of kings and to the
gospel of force?
In comniemoration of the fact that
France was our ally in securing inde-
pendence, the citizens OF that nation
Joined with the citizens Of the United
States in placing in New York harbol
an heroic statue representing liberty en-
tightening the world. What course
shall our nation pursue? Send the
statue of Liberty back to France and
borrow from England statue of Will
lam the Conqueror? Or shall our ma
ton so act as to enable the American
people to join with the Filipinos in
placing in the harbor of Manila statue
of Liberty enlightening the Orient?

AFTER THE LORDS.
Annual Attack by the Liberals the
Upper House of Parliament.

Annual Attack by the Liberals on the
Upper House of Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the house Of
commons Henry Labouchere. Liberal
member for Manchester, made his an
nual attack on the house of lords with
view Of limiting its veto power, from
which, he said, Liberal measures in
variably suffered. He moved an amend
ment to the address to the throne pro-
viding that bills adopted by the COM
mons in one session and not adopted by
the peers should, if repassed by the
commons at a subsequent session, be-
come the law of the land.
After discussion of Mr.. Laboucheres
amendment, Mr.. John Lawson. Liberal
member for South Leeds, proposed an
amendment to the address declaring
that the power now possessed by the
house OF lords OF overruling the decision
of the house Of commons demanded the
urgent attention of parliament.
Supported by the Libe raj Leader.
Sir Henry Campbell -BanneT1nan, the
newly elected leader Of the Liberals in
the commons, supported the Lawson
amendment in vigorous speech. 'On
patriotic and constitutional grounds"
said Sir Henry, the situation is full of
danger. and no dispassionate man can
deny the anomaly Of house of lords in
the face of representative system of
government. The Liberals desire to
guard the rights of the representative
chamber, while leaving to the house of
peers a reasonable power of criticism
and advice"
Mr.. Arthur Balfour, government,
leader, declared it to be his firm convic-
tion that the Liberals, in proposing con-
stitutional reform, were really acting in
the interests of party.
The house then rejected both amend
ments, Mr.. Lawson's by PSI against l57>
and Mr.. Labouchere's by 223 against l05.
