'yhe Cuban Constitution Convention
Adopts Resolution Of sympathy.

x'hc Cuban Constitution Convention
ADOPTS = Resolution Of sympathy.
HAVANA, January 25.-At to-day's
session CT the Cuban constitutional
convention, resolution expressing
sympathy with Great Britain in the
death of Queen Victoria was introduc-
ed. 1t led to an animated discussion
and to some bitter remarks. The res
olution, which was signed by five DEL
egates and presented by Sanguily, re-
quested Governor General Wood to
forward to King Edward VII. an ex-
preston of the sympathy of the Cuban
people.
Senior Llorente said that while per-
sonally he sympathized deeply with
England, it was no part of the work
of the convention to adopt resolutions
of sympathy.
Gen. Sanguily replied that resolu-
ton was adopted by the convention
thanking President Mckinley; that an
other had been offered thanking Gen.
Lee. and that the same procedure
could be followed in this instance
Gen. Rivera, who said that Gen. Lee
was far more deserving of a resolu-
ton than Great Britain referred to
what he called "England's acts OF in
humanity in the Boer war" and said
he. doubted whether England would
recognize the Cubans as a nation and
that the convention by adopting the
resolution might lay the Cuban people
open to a slight.
Senior de Quesada declared that Cuba
owed much to England's friendly atti-
tude during the Spanish-American war,
IS that attitude had helped to free
Cuba
The convention voted the resolution
Of sympathy by 10 to 10.

This Session

President Recon- mends Philfnpine
Legislation That Cannot he HAD 1T
This Session
WASHINGTON, January 25.-The
President to-day transmitted to the
Senate a report of the Secretary of
War, enclosing the report of the Taft
Philippine commission. The President
says: Il earnestly recommend legis-
lation under which the government Of
the islands may have authority to as
sist in their peaceful development.
Secretary Root says the development
Of the Philippines in peaceful indus
trial progress requires the exercise of
powers OF civil government not vested
in the War Department nor in the
President as military commander, bat
requiring grant Of authority from
Congress.
The commission gives a gratifying
account of the progress made in the
pacification of the country, and the
gradual sT5sidence of guerrilla war
fare.
The recommendation caused general
surprise and occasioned speculation
upon an extra session of Congress.
Senators agree that no Philippine leg
1slation is possible during the remain
ing five weeks of this session. The
short Spooner bill, vesting all power
for the government of the Philippine
archipelago in the President, is the on
ly Filipino bill 1t is believed that
legislation may be necessary in con-
nection with the Cuban constitution
which would be impossible to secure
it at this session.

A DIR ACK.

1t is most unfortunate that the wave
OF reform which swept the city at the
election should have stopped short of
giving the Democrats control of Coun-
Gil. AS showing on how small a thing
results may hinge, but a handful of
votes in any one of several in
stances would have given the Demo-
Gratis control Of at least the Second
Branch. AS it is it is left tie, with the
Republicans in control of the First
Branch by a small majority.
This situation may do much to ham
per the other departments of the city
government in carrying out certain re-
forms which the people have demand
ed and which would certainly have
had clear path with the Democrats
in control of Council 1t is probably too
much to hope that the Republicans
of that body will join hands with
their political opponents and work in
ton of things. 1t is too often held to
be the duty of the partisan to harass
and hinder the work of his party OPP
ponents regardless Of all considera-
lions of public policy.
The failure of the Democrats to
carry the First Branch was due to the
fact that the ring succeeded in holding
over the election members chosen in
the interim to fill unexpired terms II
the Democratic contention that these
members could only rightly hold Office
until the next ensuing election had
prevailed the popular victory would
have been complete and the Democrats
given power in every branch of the
city government and entire control of
the situation where reform is most
urgently demanded.

SHADY TACTICS AT CHARLESTON

The bosses at the State capital are
up to all sorts of tricks to shut off in
vestigation of their administra ion Of
the affairs of the people. We have wit
messed the effort to smother investiga-
tion Of the fee system by referring
a resolution of inquiry to the COM
mittee on education-a trick that la
mentally failed. Now Delegate Ken
ney calls attention to the mysterious
disappearance from the calendar of
two resolutions, one referring to the
election of United States senators by
dire-c vote of the people and the other
to investigate certain shady railroad
assessments.
The Speaker informed Mr.. Kenuey
that these documents, neither of which
the majority Of the Legislature cares
to face and go on the record on the
issue raised, were omitted through
clerical error"
Yet had Mr.. Kenney not called at
tention to the omission it is a fair
superstition that neither of said meas
uIes which the bosses are SO anxious
to avoid, would ever again have seen
the light of day.
And this would have been a far SIM
pier method of disposing of these in
convenient resolutions than meeting
them in open session and voting them
down before the eyes of the people,
which involves a confession that
even the arrogant bosses at the State
capital do not care to make.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" This Is particularly true at
Charleston just now. The ringsters
can't be watched too closely. They
are full of tricks and may be depended
upon to resort to them unscrupulougiy
and at every turn.

purpose Of protective duties Is to re-
strain competition and build wall
around the protected interests. We
start in excluding the competition OF
the foreigner. Ut is not strange that
we should pass on to an exclusion Of
competition by our fellow citizens
Yet, whenever protective duties have
been proposed, increased or retained
in revisions of the tariff, their princi-
pal Justification and, indeed, their
avowed purpose has always been to
create or stimulate competition in this
country. Nothing is clearer than that
every protected interest which has en-
tered into a trust has broken the
promise under which it obtained it's
tariff protection, and has therefore
forfeited its right TO protection.

THE LACGiILIv GILL.

In another column will he found a
communication which takes strong
ground against the passage by the
Legislature of the Laughlin liquor Ii
cense bill, which, it Is admitted is in
tended to apply only to this city. The
writer is moderate in his statements
bur vigorously and with reason pro-
tests against its passage without the
consent or approval of the city coun-
Gil and especially in view of the fact
r that it is intended only to correct evils
the fake hotels-which the people
have already attended to at the polls.
1t is pointed out that no one need fear
that the fake" hotels will receive Ii
cense again, while the people have
elected chief of police who will en-
force the laws.
Another count against the Laughlin
fbifl is, that, being simply the Brooks
law of Pennsylvania applied to this
city, while driving many reputable
and law-ahiding citizens out of the sa-
loon business will simply substitute
for the legitimate saloon regulated by
law, that abominable institution now
unknown to this city, but familiar
where the Brooks law prevails, the
.speak-easy."
It would not only operate to make
the old situation infinitely worse, but
reduce the receipts of the city from Ii
censes and make the burden the great
er on the remaining taxpayers.
The Register advises the Legislature
to go exceedingly slow in this matter
lest it do a great wrong to Wheeling
and simply render null and void what
has already been accomplished for re-
form at the polls.
There is no longer any call for the
Laughlin bill since there is no longer
any danger of the continuance of the
fake hotels or that any improper
person will be given license to sell Ii
quor. Under the now existing circum-
stances it would simply be an unwar-
ranted interference with the home rule
of this city and would work moth
ing but harm.
