His Command Never Was Rewarded

Every member of that splendid command nf Iawton's, who, despite hardships, achieved the success their endurance and fortitude so richly deserved, would, in any other country, have received immediate promotion, breyets and medals Lawtoh entered a modest claim for the honors or tl1is campaign in a letter, dated Fort Hua- caltica, A. T., October 31, 1886, a little over six weeks after Geronimo's surrender He says:
 ''I have been hard at work all summer, and you need mot believe all the Mes uhe newspapers tell you about the campaign. l goA Geronimo myself, and feel very good over the complete success of my i've montl1s work.

"United States" to be Defined.

In the long run the courts, and not con- gress. must define what the term Limited States means and includes. Heretofore it has been understood to mean the entire country, but the tobacco growers of Con- neeticut and other bounty-fed interests un- der the Mckinley scheme of tariff robbery, hold that it does not apply to ''terrtory belonging to the United States" until after congress formally or inferentialy annexes It. Until this basic question is decided so far as congress can decide it, no tariff or internal revenue, or Chinese exclusion leg islation can we'll be passed. Both the house and the senate are considering the question, especially in committee rooms, and action from either the insular committee fin the senate or the ways and means committee of the house is soon expected.
 The questions involved are to be handled by the republican majorities in either house. not so much in the light of precedents as with view to holding protectionfsm up to high-water mark. It is a popular belief that protection is going out through the change of international trade and industry This should be so, but it is not. The bene- ficiaries who paid for the Mckinley victory of 1896 have no intention of relinquishing particle of their victory over consumers in this country. Very many of them feel so secure that they openly publish one price for foreign consumers and one for domestic consumers the latter as a rule paying the tariff difference. Such robbers will relin- quish nothing while the republican party remains in power.
 And this is why the term United States" is to be construed more narrowly than it has been heretofore. There are interests here and there that demand their pound of flesh, and congress is preparing to see that they get it. Senator Platt, of Connecticut, is fair example of these kinds of patriots. He does not propose that Puerto Rico shall reduce the profits of Connecticut cabbage leaf, and so 1t goes to the end of the chap ter. This is the real secret of the squabble over the term United States"
