Russian Tariff Retaliation.

The error which Mr.. Gage has commit
| ted in violently assuming that Russia pays
an indirect bounty to home sugar pro-
| ducers by regulating the price of this
| prime necessity in the Russian domestic
markets is we'll exemplified in an article
published Sunday in the semi official FL
| nancial Messenger of st. Petersburg
| That journal argues quite conyincingly
| that if the Cars Government, in protect
| ing Russian consumers from eXtortion, is
open to the charge of bounty paying,
much better case lies against the United
States which. through its prohibitive tar
! if. enables trusts and monopolies of
all sorts to sell their products in for
| eign countries at lower prices than
they exact in the United States. Thus the
| tariff robbery of American consumers in
effect constitutes a bounty to trusts so
palpable that it hardly can be called indi
rect. The Financial Messenger" and
other technical Russian papers express
the belief that this American abuse is Sc
rious enough to justify the imposition of
compensatory duties upon all of our COM
modities made or controlled by trusts.
The Hon. Lyman ]. Gage is by this time
able to see that in declaring tariff war
upon Russia for the small benefit of one
monopoly he has placed the whole list of
trusts in jeopardy. Not Russia alone but
the whole continent of Europe has awak-
ened to the danger with which all Old
! World industries are menaced by the abil-
| ity of favored American manufacturers to
recoup the losses of any competition
abroad by extortions levied upon their
own people, and to keep this UP until
finally they break down the industries
with which they compete and so take the
market. If it be right for the Govern
ment of the United States to Cypress and
outrage its citizens for the advantage of
few trusts il must be at least equally so
for the States whose manufacturing class
es We are depriying of bread to protect
their subjects from the economic assaults
of our combinations in restraint of trade.
The Norgans. Rockefellers. Griscoms. and
Havemeyers of this country will soon
have to decide between allowing the
United States to negotiate and ratify rec
iprocity conventions with Europe and
seeing war of fiscal retaliation opened
upon us from the Trails to the Atlantic
Ocean. That would mean the hopeless
congestion of our surplus commodities and
probably a financial panic.

where 1t will be Of some use to him; and
as for the drill which he is supposed TO
acquire by learning the thing the hardest

NoN-UNIoN GIRLS HoOTED.
''HIother" Jones Alleges Violations of
the Child Labor Law.

SCRANTON. Pa, Feb. 25.-There was
another outbreak of violence on the part
of the silk mill strikers at Priceburg this
county, tonight. There are employed at
the Bliss mill there about twenty non
union girls. When these quit work at s. 80
tonight they found the mill surrounded
by large and noisy crowd, made up prin-
cipally Of hoodlums.
The girls were greeted with insulting
cries as they appeared, and mud was
thrown. as well as few stones. The girls
went through the crowd energetically
and those who were in their way were
pushed violently aside.
Mother Jones gave out an interview to-
day, making some serious allegations with
regard to violations OF the child labor
Law. which forbids employment OF chill
dren aged twelve years or less. She says
that an investigation reveals a surprising
ly large number of girls who are just
past thirteen.
Mother" Jones says the birth rec
ords prove that many of these girls are
not more than ten years old. but their
parents are to blame, FOR they make oath
that their children are more than twelve
to secure employment for them. a mass
meeting is to be called in this city to lay
the child labor problem before the people.

DUBOIS NOW A DEMOCRAT.

John IA. MItcheIrs victory.

Fred Dubois, Senator-elect from Idaho.
was on the GOor of the Senate yesterday
with the men who will be his colleagues
again after March L. When told that
John II. Mitchell had again been elected
Senator from Oregon. Mr. Dubois said:
Il am glad of it. Mitchell is a good man.
and if he were not he deserved to be
elected because of the crowd fighting
him. When / was elected several weeks
ago Mr.. Mitchell wrote me a letter of
congratulation ard in replying to it l
expressed the hope and the belief that he
would down his enemies. as | downed
mine. Today | had the pleasure of con-
graduating him"
Mr.. Dubois now calls himself Dem-
ocrat. He was one of the Republican
Senators who walked out of the Repub-
lican Convention in st. Louis, under Mr..
Teller's lead, in 1886. His friends say that
he could have been elected as RENO
crat. a Republican. or a Populist. After
it was all over, he announced that he was
a Democrat.
1t is queer whirligig of politics that
brings Mr. Mitchell back to the Senate.
He was first elected in 1873. defeating
Henry W. Corbett and was himself de-
feated by Democrat in 1879. In 1885 he
defeated this same Democrat, James H..
Slater. and was reelected in 1891. Then
he was defeated by the present Senator
Mcbride and now he has defeated Cor
bett again. after lapse of twenty-seven
years, and defeated Mr. Mcbride at the
same time.

other studies, after very much the same
methods which were used in the grammar

according TO tradition. Take. for ex-
ample. the way in which Latin is US
ually taught. The student is required to
learn the dcclensions the lists OF excep-
tons. and the rules, verbatim; and to
construc certain sentences, applying the
rules. By this somewhat slow and arti-
fetal process he is supposed to arrive at
the accomplishment OF reading Latin. and
the result generally is just what Inger-
soil once said it was, that two years after
graduation the boy cannot read The Latin

ceptional college graduate who can take
a piece of unfamiliar Latin and make
anything out Of it, without the aid not

notes; and IT is a still more exceptional
student who. can write Latin at all.

OUR POLICY TOWARD CUBA.
The Plat Amendment Construed ms
Practically an UItimntum.

The numerous conferences between the
President. the Secretary of War and
members OF the Senate Committee on Gu
ban Relations that have taken place at
frequent intervals during the past few
weeks bore fruit yesterday. when the
chairman Of the committee introduced in
the Senate as an amendment to the pend
ing Army Appropriation bill a resolution
defining the policy of the United States
toward Cuba and setting forth the terms
upon which the United States will with
draw its troops from the island When the
constitutional convention now in session
snail have adopted the declarations set
forth in the Plat resolution the United
States will turn Cuba over to the govern
fnent OF its own people and not until then.
The resolution is the result of consul
tation with all factions In the Senate
The terms laid down for acceptance by
the Cuban convention are substantially
those that were cabled to General Wood
by the Secretary of War two weeks ago
for his instruction in laying before the
Cuban convention the desires and demands
of the United States. II is understood
that the constitution proper already COM
pleted will not be officially sent to Wash
ington until the convention has settled
the question of the relation between the
United States and Cuba in accordance
with the terms of the Senate resolution
and that in the mean time the United
States will continue to exert the au-
thority now exercised over the affairs OF
the island
President Mckinley has for month
past been positive in his statements that
If Congress should not enact Cuban legis-
lation providing for carrying out the let
ter and spirit of the Teller resolution he
would call an extra session of Congress as
soon as the constitutional convention should
complete its work The leaders in both
the Senate and House thought that the
President meant what he said, and they
set themselves to the task of framing
legislation that would meet the situation
and merit his approval. The Senate COM
mittee finally succeeded in this by ap
pointing subcommittee. of which Mr..
Teller PopulisD and Mr.. Money Demo
craft were members as well as Plat and
Spooner (Republicansl. and they finally
secured an agreement by including in the
resolution provisions that were demanded
by all factions in the Senate.
The resolution will come UP for action
as soon as the pending Philippine amend
menL is disposed of. BY certain Republican
leaders il is said that there will be no
further talk of an extra session, and the
President will continue his arrangement
for visiting the Pacific Coast and other
points during the spring and summer.
The pending Army bill has been great
stumbling block. because if that should
fail an extra session will be necessary.
When that bill goes to conference the
River and Harbor bill Will be brought for
ward. The conferees on the War Tax Re-
duction bill had another protracted ses-
sion yesterday. and the indications are
now stronger than ever that an agree
ment will soon be reached.
