FREE CUBAN SUGAR.
A Difference of $75OOO,OOO a Year to
Cuba.

Some weeks ago the Argonaut re-
marked that the requirements which
the United States eXacted from CUBA
We're no more than fair; that all this
country asked was that CUBA should
behave herself and keep clean: that as
we had made her an Independent ma
ton, and as she has no navy to pro-
teCt herself, we were justified in asking
FOR navai stations with which to pro-
tect her; that as she had been for a
century injecting us with yellow fever,
we had right to make her enforce
sanitary regulations in her filthy sea-
ports. We further remarked at the
time that all the talk about Cuban
honor and Cuban pride would die away
if the United Ctates were to let in,
free of duty, Cuban sugar and Cuban
tobacco.
We are now corroborated in our be-
lief The Cuban commission, which was
so anxious to interview President Nc
Kinley talked little of Cuban honor
and Cuban pride, and much of Cuban
sugar and Cuban tobacco. They want
us to give their products free passage
through our custom houses. If we We're
to grant their modest request we would
be making a nice little present of about
seventy-fve millions of dollars a year
to Cuba in RENTED duties on sugar
and tobacco, We doubt very much
whether the United States cares to give
as much money as that to our saddle
colored amigos in the ever-faithful isle.
Uncle Sam has spent about quarter
of billion of dollars in freeing these
Cubans from Spain. To give them on
top of that a present of seventy five
millions of dollars year is asking 2
trife too much. We sincerely mourn foI
Cubas many misfortunes, but for hel

would be crowding the mOurners.-Ar-

pened that the administration bosses
forced caucus Of republican senators
to decide to take no action upon the

turned the question of whether the
Nicaragua canal shall be provided for
at this session over to the British gov
eminent. All and all this is one of the
most remarkable instances of trucking
to foreign nation in the history Of the
senate, and it is not surprising that
four republican senators should have
revolted and openly said that they
would not be bound by the action of
the caucus. The surprising thing is
that a majority of them should have
been willing to make such an exhibit
ton of themselves. If the British
government wishes to prevent Nicarag-
ua cannl legislation at this session of
congress, it has only to defer making
known its action on the treaty until af-
ter the 4th of March. Naturally the

is playing right into their hands.

state and territory, asking the different
members to support the measure. 1t
Was only by great good fortune that he
had only last Saturday arranged all
these by states and had them in COM
mittee room today when the speaker
sent for him and said that he would
recognize him for the purpose of calling
up the bill. But this was no means all
the work done in the case. At the last
meeting of the board of managers of
the soldiers home, held at the Airing
ton hotel in this city, Representative
Brownlow went before them with a
view of seeking their approval of the
measure and they at first declined to
hear him, stating that they were OPP
posed to the measure on the grounds
that their policy was to encourage the
different homes established by the
states and that they did not favor the
building of any more branch homes by
the government. Brownlow asked
them to hear him for only five minutes
and at the end Of three them unani-
mously informed him that they were
for the measure and that the appropri-
alton instead Of being for $3.50, 200
ought to be for amillion. He told them
OF the thousands Of men in the south
who sacrificed their all for the Union
and how there is not a single institu-
ton of this kind on all the soil of the
south, except in Virginia, and she had
not single Union soldier on record.
He also spoke Of how the government
was solicitous Of the health of its con-
victs and had appropriated a large sum
for the establishment of a prison at At.
lanta so that prisoners from the south
should not suffer the rigors of the cold
and unfamiliar northern climate. He
made the telling point that the old sol.
diers were certainly entitled to as much
consideration at the hand of the govern.
ment as are the convicts.
1t will be the duty of the board Of
managers Of the soldiers home to select
Within three months the site for the in
stitution and the work Of building mus
be commenced within six months.
The state Of Tennessee will be called
upon to cede to the government no
less than three eundred acres aad it il
understood that bill for the purpose
is already drawn and will be introduc
: cd into the legislature at once.

That "Pull" under this administra-
ton is stronger than the civil service
law is nothing new, but a disgraceful
proof Of it has just been given by the
appointment OF VIM. Hamlet, os Mary
land, who was forced to resign as a
general inspector of the postofice de-
partment for having hired out his gov
eminent railroad pass, to be an inpec-
tor in the Baltimore custom house. In
other words, man who has shown his
unftness for position under one de-
partment of the public service has been
given an equally responsible position
in another. The secret of Hamletta

ability to control the negro voters in

THANKS TO BROwNL0w.

The Geographic announcement that
Brownlow's bill to establish a branch
Soldiers Home at Johnson City had
passed the house and become a law
electrified our citizens. The Board Of
Trade called mass meeting at the
Opera House Wednesday evening for
the purpose Of passing resolutions of
thanks to our distinguished represent
alive, Hon. W. P. Brownlow, for his
efforts in behalf Of this city. In secur-
ing the passage of this bill Mr.. Brown
low had innumerable difficulties to
overcome, and it is not putting it too
strong to say that no other person
could have manipulated it successfully,
and today Mr.. Brownlow is the most
honored man in the First district.
The Opera House was filed with a
representative audience. President
Biddle called the meeting to order and
John Fl. Bowman was made chairman
and DIR. W. J. Sproles secretary. On
motion the chair appointed the follow
ing gentlemen as a committee to draft
suitable resolutions: Hon. A. A. Tay-
lor, Capt. s. t. Harris, s. @. Williams,
DR.. J. W. Cox, Hon. Robt. Burrow,
Col. E. @. Reeves, Judge J. P. Smith
and Mayor J. A. Summers. The COM
mittee retired and reported the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimous
adopted amid great enthusiasm and af-
ter felicitous speeches by Hon. A. A.
Taylor, Col. Reeves, Judge Smith and
others.
Resolved, by the citizens of johnson
City, Tenn. in mass meeting assembled,
that we tender to our representative in
congress, Hon. w. P. Brownlow, as
surances of our deepest gratitude for
his faithful and skillful efforts in con-
ceiving and carrying to successful is
sue the bill for the establishment of a
branch of the National Soldiers Home
at Johnson City.
Resolved further, That our thanks
are also extended to Speaker Hender-
son, Chairman Hull, of the Committee
on Military Affairs, and the members
of the Tennessee delegation in Con-
gress, for the great work we are as
sured they did in the passage of the
bill.
Resolved further, That we renew our
thanks to Senator W. B. Bate for his
valuable services in pressing the bill
to passage through the Senate.
Resolved further, That copy of
these resolutions be sent to Congress
man Brownlow, Senator Bate and
Speaker Henderson, also that they be
given to the local and daily papers.

Washington, D. O., Jan. 21.-Repre-
sentative Brownlow's bill for the estab-
ishment of o soldirrs' home at Johnson
City passed the house Of representa-
tiyes this afternoon at Ave o'clock by
unanimous Aote.
The bill having passed the senate at
the last session Of this congress is now
ready to go to the president for his sig
nature and there is doubt but what the
measure will promptly receive the sig
nature of the president,
This is q great thing for Tennessee
and for the whole south. 1t is not an
exaggeration to say that it is the great
est thing that has been accomplished
by any representative from the south
since the war era. The fact that the
bill carries an initial appropriation Of
$3.50, 900 and that it will require some
thing like 81, 100000 to complete the
structure ready for occupancy and that
it will be the means Of dispensing large
sums in East Tennessee during all the
years of its maintenance, and that it
will be maintained forever, all these
great facts are subordinate to the great
or and overshadowing fact that it is a
recognition of the union sentiment Of
the south and especially of the senti-
ment in East Tennessee which was one
of the most remarkable things in the
era Of the great war.
1t is gratifying to note that not only
did the democrats vote for this bill, but
many of those of the south supported il
with speeches.
Judge Richards, of Alabama, who
succeeds General Wheeler, and Repre-.
sentative Gains, of the Nashville dis.
trict, both made speeches in support Of
the measure, as also did Miers, of In
diana, and Shafroth, Of Colorado.
Representative Cannon, of Illinois,
made the only speech against the
measure, declaring that it would NEAR
an ultimate expenditure of q millior
and half Of dollars, but even he die
not cast his vote against the measure.
Representative Brownlow has man
aged this matter with consummatt
skill. It has been his pet measure ant
he has given itlong and careful though
and attention. Since the measure wal
favorably reported by the house nearly
a year ago, he has received something
like seven thousand petitions from diff
ferent soldier organizations from every
