Conmoner Comment.
Extracts From W. J. Bryan's Paper.

CUBA SHOULD BE FREE


The action of the administration in
insisting that the Cuban constitution
shall define that islands relation with
the G United States, is without justif-
cation in law Or morals. It implies a
threat that the United States will yio-
late the written assurances given by
the president. the resolution of con-
gress and the treaty made with Spain,
II the Cuban representatives refuse to
concede what the administration de-
mands. The title to Cuba was relin-
qulshed to the Cubans-it was not
transferred to this nation. We have
no right to demand that Cuba shall
now make treaty with us before we
comply with the treaty already made
Cuoa is our neighbor, a sister repub-
Tic; we helped her to secure her indie
Pendence and we have every reason
10 Delleve that she will show her graft
tude IN every proper way if we act in
sood talth' But why arouse the sus-
piclon OF her people or provoke them
70 anger2 They are entitled to the
liberty for which they fought. and the
republican leaders are sowing seeds
OF discord when they acknowledge. as
II grudgingly, the independence which
was unanimously proclaimed three
years ago.
AT the final session of the Cuban
convention words were spoken which
lndlcated fear on the part of some of
the Cubans that this nation was not
dealing frankly with them, and it
must be confessed that there is ground
for their fears. but does the admins
tration really represent the sentiment
OF the American people on this SUBJ
ject?
We cannot afford to turn from the
role OF a good Samaritan to the role of
dictator. We can understand how
the Cubans feel now, if we will only
imagine how the colonists would have
felt toward France if she had de-
manded to have the relations between
France and the United States agreed
upon before Withdrawing. Honesty
and fair dealing are all that are nee
essary to insure peaceable and ad-
vantageous relations with Cuba, but
for some reason the republican leaders
prefer to pick a quarrel.

THE PRESIDENT AN EMPEROR.

The Spooner amendment to the army
| appropriation bill vests in the presi-
; dent power and authority which can
be exercised only by an emperor: BY
voting down the amendments offered,
the republicans placed themselves ON
| record~as in favor of the exercise of
arbitrary and imperial power by the
chief executive. No rest "iciions are
placed upon him and No time iirnit is
fixed to his rule. He IS supreme; he
can appoint whomsoever. ne pleases;
he can vest legislative, jul, cial and eX7
ecutive power all in one person, AID
that person. is under no obligation to
observe the constitution in dealing
with Filipino subjects. And this is
| done in the name of liberty? This is
! the policy of a party which sprang
| into existence to apply the Declaration
of independence to men entirely black!
History presents no instance of a
transformation so sudden and COM
! plete.
The provisions in regard to fran
chises are of little value, because the
president must rely upon the repre-
sensations of appointees in the Phit-
| ippines and their statements will be
ex-parte Only the men who want
concessions will be heard-the Fill
pinos will have no voice in the matter.
What advantage is there in having
the franchises terminate one year af-
ter a civil government is established,
if that government is to be colonial in
character and administered by foreign
| ers?
If that provision has any influence
at all, it will simply give a powerful
group of concessionaires pecuniary in
terest in postponing the establishment
of civil government. 1t may stimulate
campaign contributions and lead to
the establishment of a bureau in the
United States for the dissemination Of
literature prejudicial to the Filipinos.
If the republican party is powerless
to protect the people of the United
States from monopoly, how can it be
expected to protect the helpless in
habitants of remote islands?
In the campaign of 1900 the republic
cans strenuously denied that they had
any imperialistic intentions and their
denials deceived many but here is
proof that cannot be disputed. The
president is an emperor, and will re-
main so until the republican party re-
verses it's policy or until the people
retire that party from power.

Helena, March 11.-At $3.50 in the
morning, although the legislative
clocks showed that midnight had not
come, Paris Gibson DEM was elected
to the United States senate. Nearly
every day during the entire session at
least one ballot had been taken. Mr..
Gibson is native of New Hampshire
and is 20 years old. He was member
of the constitutional convention and of
the first senate in the state legislature.
He is called the father of the city of
Great Falls, having developed the
water power of the falls of the Mis-
souri, river at that point.

roMNE AND WEBSTER.

The Kansas City Journal complains
because correspondent likened
Charles A. Towne to Daniel Webster.
The Journal says: ut is too bad that
Webster is not here to enjoy the joke. ="
The republican organ places a poor
estimate on the intelligence of the
American people if it imagines it can
destroy facts by cheap wit. This
country has not produced an orator
superior to Mr.. Towne; he is logical,
scholarly and eloquent. Those who
listen to him once are anxious to hear
him again, and the well-informed, even
among the republicans, will dissent
from the Journals estimate. If the re-
publican papers will seriously attempt
to answer Mr.. TONNES speech they
will appreciate his ability as well as
the weakness of their own cause.

ON VERGE OF INSANITY.
Mrs. e. A. Deacon Tells of n Case Where
Lady Was in This Serious Con-
dftiou, but Was Saved.

dition. but Was Saved.
East Randolph. N. Y, March IL
Especial. Mrs. f. A. Deacon of this
town is Vice-President of the local
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
She is a lady of splendid capabilities,
and these she has always directed to-
wards the uplifting of humanity. What
Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in East
Randolph without question. No one
has ever doubted her truthfulness or
honesty Of purpose.
Mrs. Deacon says: My attention
was first called to the remarkable cur
alive value of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
through the cure of literary lady who
was a friend of mine, and who from
mental overwork was on the verge Of
insanity. After the failure of her ply
stefan to help her, her husband was
advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, which she did with gratifying re-
suits. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured, but at the end
of two months treatment, she was her
own happy, brilliant self once more.
Feeling languid and worn out my
self, thought they would perhaps be
help to me, and am very glad to say
that two boxes made a new woman
of me. I feel ten years younger, am in
the very best of health, and appreciate
that it was entirely through the use Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. give them high
est Endorsement"
These cases are becoming very COM
mon in Cattaraugus County, and many
ladies have had experiences similar to
those of Mrs. Deacon and her friend.
What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for these suffering women, they will
do for anyone who gives them a fair
trial

government has coded the land to the
state for public park, and the grant

that clear title be given. This can

HULL ON THE ARMY.

Ina recent number of the Saturday
Evening Post Congress Hull of Iowa
undertakes to justify the new army
measure. He began by saying that the
fight for the reorganization of the reg
ular army had lasted four years and
speaks of putting the United States
in line with the rest of the world in
the matter of Organization of the milf
tary and of the government" That is
statement which no republican leader
would have made during the last CAM
paign. The reader of the article is
disappointed to find no mention made
Of the number Of sons Congressman
Hull has among the commissioned Off
GERS of the army. 1t is also to be re-
GREETED that the gentleman from Iowa
did not take time to enumerate among
the reasons for the large army the ne
cessity of protecting the syndicates
which are being organized to exploit
the Philippine islands. Being the
president Of the Philippine Lumber
and development company Mr.. Hull is
in position to give valuable informa-
ton on this point. A prospectus of
the company, issued last summer, set
forth the fact that his company had al
ready secured valuable timber conces-
sions and explained that the labor
problem was easily solved because of
the abundance of Chinese labor.

THE GATHERING STORM.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The trade papers are beginning to
realize that the consultations and
combinations which. are now absorb
ing most of the great industries OF the
country are fastening the day of anti
trust legislation. The Metal Worker,
while making a defense Of the new
steel trust, yet sees the possibilities of
legislation which will make such COM
bination impossible. 1t suggests that
the undertaking was forced by the
desire to protect existing interests,
seriously threatened as they were by
possible warfare, rather than by a
desire to unload the properties upon
the public at inflated prices" 1t thinks
it sees an advantage in the trust in
that "the concentration of power in
the hands of one large consolidation
is expected to bring about a decided
steadying of the markets"
1t speaks in a commonplace way of
one of the great evils of the trust, say
ing: "As competitor, so huge an
organization could develop very dam
gerous strength by waging war in one
territory and drawing the 5inews
therefor from uncontested markets. y
The Metal Worker evidently under
stands the methods employed by the
trusts-methods which some, strange
to say, seem to regard as legitimate
business. And yet the paper quoted
cannot refrain from prophesy OF
trouble. 1t says:
1T will take clever management on
the part of the consolidation to meet
and break the force of aroused public
opinion. Imagination is sure to be
inf1amed by the colossal undertaking
now about to be contaminated, and
there will be many who are eager to
fan the flames"
And again;
1T is certain that the new CONSOLE
dation will lend much support to the
antitrust agitation, and will be its
shining mark. Keen eyes will watch
every move, and INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gogues and an unbridled yellow press
will distort even the most trivial in
cident."
It will be seen that even the defend
ers of monopoly are conscious that
the storm is gathering. Although
they consider it INSCRIPTIONS and
"demagogie" for any one to condemn
trust, yet they are able to measure
the force of public opinion when once
it is aroused and they are fearful lest
the reign of monopoly may, after all,
be short-lived.

THE Hawaiian LEGISLATURE
Elects an Official Reporter Sent to
Report to Washington.
NINE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS.

San Francisco, March 9.-The first
territorial legislature of Hawaii, began
its session in Honolulu on the goth of
last month and has been in session
ever since.
3. On the third day of the session Sec
rotary of the Territory Cooper was
unceremoniously ordered out of the
house and escorted by the sergeant-at-
arms. Acting under the section of the
territorial act which provides that he
shall ''record and preserve the laws
and proceedings of the legislature, "
Secretary Cooper took up place on
the floor of the house with steno-
grapher to secure a record of the pro-
ceedings
Representative Beclxley, Independent,
offered a resolution requesting him to
leave. The resolution set forth that
his presence on the floor was a viola
ton of the rule that the three depart
ments of government, executive,
judicial and legislative, must be kept
separate, and it was urged in debate
that Governor Dole had put Cooper
where he was with view to intimi-
date members by letting them see that
the executive officer was taking steno-
graphic report of the proceedings.
Cooper was declared by Republicans
to be present as a representative of
President Mckinley, as he had been
ordered to transmit a report to Wash
ington, but even this plea did not
deter the Independents. After long
debate, they passed the Becliley reso-
luton by a vote of 20 to o, the nine
being all the Republicans in the house.

of the Christian powers in China, and
all sorts of opinions are being ex-
pressed as to what punishments ought
to be permitted and what not allo wed.
1t ought not to be difficult 20 fornu-
late a rule. Whatever the Christian
nations do ought to be done according
to the customs prevailing at home.
What China does ought to be done ac-
cording to her customs. 1t Is not the
business of outsiders to force their
civilization upon China, but they ought
to set an example for the Instruction
and enlightenment of the Chinese,
There is a suspicion that some of the
allies, in trying to do like the Chinese,
have done worse.
