The EXTRA SESSION

Governor Van SAINT has called an extra
session of the legislature to meet Feb. 4
to consider the new tax code proposed by
the tax commission. The date was adj
vanced two weeks from the time first
contemplated on account Of the change
made by the commission in the time OF
making assessments. This is advanced
from the first of May to the first of April,
and in order that there might be no lack
of time for proper consideration Of the
bill, and a sufficient interval in which to
prepare new machinery, the governor
has selected the date above mentioned.
The call Is confined to the one subject
of tax legislation, and while the legisla-
ture will probably be asked to make an
appropriation to meet the extra ordinary
expenses incident to the prosecution OF
the case of the state against the Northern
Securities company, 1t is to be hoped that
the session will be confined to that and
to the special business for which it is
convened. At the regular session the
legislature made splendid record and 1t
would add materially to it If the legisla-
ture can come together again and dispose
of the tax law promptly, give the governor
enough to fight the railroad monopoly
and go home There are number OF
other things which some members OF the
legislature would be glad to bring up, but
there is danger that if any business is
taken up other than that for which the
session is called, and the appropriation
mentioned, the session may be prolonged
indefinitely. Matters may be undertaken
which may better be postponed to the
regular session., and altogether the result
would be unfortunate. 1t would certainly
be greatly to the credit of the body and
greatly to the republican party of the
state if it can come together on this
definite proposition, dispose of it in
business-like manner and then quit.
To this end those who think they detect
minor errors or shortcomings in the pro-
posed code should not press for consid-
Grafton of them. If mistakes have been
made they can be remedied at the regu-
lar session next year, when, with more
experience in applying the new code, there
will be better basis fer criticism than
now.

per cent paid the full Dingley tariff rates.
To continue this policy. under the pecu-
liar relations we sustain toward Cuba, is
hardly reputable for a nation Of our
standing. The president has practically
admitted in his message that the United
States is morally bound to aid Cuba in
the establishment of her prosperity.
He believes it SO thoroughly that he rec
commended a reduction Of the duties on
Cuban sugar and tobacco, giving such
products of the island a preference over
those from other countries
1t has been urged that such preference
to Cuban products will violate the fla
vored nation" clause in our treaties with
the various nations of the world, but
there would be no violation. Every ma
tion in Europe has now commercial treat
les making preferences, ard the objec-
ton above stated has never been recog-
nized, and our own state department has
not been deferred from joint action with

treaties in the past.

LONGING FOR HOME

From Manila comes news that is not
surprising. The physicians say that many
OF the collapses of Americans in the
Philippine islands are due to nostalgia
plain homesickness. The pioneers Of the
northwest who, unaccompanied by friends
or relatives, pushed out from the old
homes in the east and settled in a; new,
wild and raw country, where life seemed
to be series of antagonisms with nature
in many forms and with what human
beings there were around them, will sym
pathetically peruse the news from
Manila.
The pining for home and friends be-
comes veritable disease. 1t obsesses
the victim and benumbs all his fac
ulties. His waking moments are
filled with an iReXpressible longing
for home that leaves no room for
thoughts of anything else. No other sub
ject can get any hold on his memory OF
his mind. It becomes like the mirage
that lures the desert wanderer on to beau
tiful lakes and green groves only to leave
him to die farther in the heart Of the
desert.
Brooding over home, picturing it's joys
and delights and rejecting on it's superb
ority to any other place in the world the
victims powers are relaxed, his strength
Slapped, his ambition obscured and he
pines away. He has no more strength OF
ambition to struggle against his enemy
than has the blizzard-lost man who sinks
comfortably down in the soft snow, ex.
hausted, content and happy, to die.
The project to get a daily news serv
ice cable from the United States that viii
annihilate distance and make the Ameri
cans in the Philippines forget their de-
tachment and feel that they are part O.
America Is commendable one. Next tt
returning to America a good news serv
ice by cable is the best cure the soldier:
and civilians Of our new possessions cal
find for their torturing malady.

If duties on sugar exported to the United
States, of a temporary character, but pre-
fer that the suggestion of the president,
in his annual message, be carried out,
giving the Cubans the advantage of a reg
ular reciprocity treaty. There is no doubt
that the better way to meet this question
of obligation is to reduce duties on Cuban
sugar something over the &c per cent al
lowed by the Dingley tariff, say from rs
to So per cent, and, when the Cuban leg
islature is in working order, negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba, which shall
be Of mutual benefit, opening the Cuban
market for our flour and provisions, agri-
cultural machinery, railway supplies, ETC..

SCHLEY IN RIGHT LIGHT

George Edward Graham, the CORE
spondent, who was on the Brooklyn dur
ing the naval battle of Santiago, is about
to bring out a book devoted to the history
of the flying squadron. It is announced
that the account of the battle of Santiago
will show that in the very moment of
victory Admiral Sampson took the course
which has led the public to condemn him
without much consideration OF his merits
as a naval commander, a course which
has embittered and saddened the last
years of a life now represented to be
rapidly waning. - .@e
1t would be thought that in the supreme
moment of a great naval victory, with
the whole fighting. strength of the Spanish
navy scattered along the adjacent coast,
the American sailors exuberantly cheering
Schley, and a feeling Of triumph In every
heart, Admiral Sampson would have been
generous in his conduct towards Schley,
even, if after elaboration, he might nat
urally be expected to belittle Schley's part
in the battle.
But even then Sampson was cold, took
no notice of the signals of the Brooklyn,
and ignored Admiral Schley's personal re-
quest through the megaplone that he be
allowed to accept the surrender of the
Colon, which he had run ashore before the
New York arrived.
Graaam's book will do much to offset
Maclay's account of the battle, and give
Schley credit in history for his good fight
at Santiago.

KUBELIK

And now it IS Kubelik-Jan Kubelik! It
was Paderewski 1t was Hobson. 1t is
now Kubelik. All styles and qualities of
New York women have been after Jan
Kubelik this week. All the young rose
bud girls of Gotham, women of uncer-
tain age, matrons and maids, have rushed
upon Kubelik and tried to devour him
with kisses. Men even held their wives
and daughters up in their arms for Kube-
Xix to kiss. Frantic women struggled to
touch the hem of his coat tails. They
hemmed him in on every side, and he had
to struggle like a hero of Thermopylae
through storm of kisses to reach his
waiting carriage.
What has Kubelik done to win all this
adulation?
Kubelik is a violinist. American wom-
en- seem to have an uncomfortable pas
sion for violinists and pianists. It may
easily be recalled how they advanced in
open and close order upon Gottschalk
when he toured this country Nine out
in love with him. He drew them after
him as Orpheus drew all things after
him. Each morning his mail increased in
size and hundreds of violet and jassamine-
scented notes., breathing adoring love,
came into his hands.
This is a strange outburst Of adulation
on the part Of American women. One
would think that they would be content
to hear music and quietly enjoy it. But
admiration for the music becomes trans
formed into mad passion for the man.
Women who do not otherwise show any
animation of special kind, seem to lose
their heads over a foreign player on vio-
L lin and piano, provided he has pretty
white hands and some grace of move
ment. There is something of the same
kind developed In women by the eloquence
Of an orator. Women have been known
to hover over q young orator and kiss

tsemotion. And vet It is true that womanly

CHEAP SHIP BUILDING

Advocates of ship subsidies have insist
ed that it costs much more to build SHIPS
in America than in Europe. But lizard
Schwartz a German naval constructor,
who has just returned to Germany from
an inspection of American shipbulldlng
yards, does not agree with them he re-
ports that notwithstanding the wages
paid in America-S0 to SO per cent higher
than in Great Observation-Disclosures are be-
ing built on the great lakes as cheaply as
tramp steamers are built in England. Mr..
Schwartz asserts that economical mach
inery processes used in the American
wards offset the cheaper wages of Eu-
rope.
What Mr. Schwartz says about the great
lakes shipping is important. Whenever
opponents of subsidies have called atten-
ton to the fact that American steam ton
mage is rapidly increasing at, present
from $50 900 tons in 1898 to 100000 tons
in 1901, it has been remarked that the
increase has been for the lakes and the
were not available. That is true. But
we now find that although there is no for
eign competition for lake vessels they are
built as cheaply as tramp steamers In
England. In other words, even If the
great lakes were open to English built
vessels they would have difficulty in sue
cessfully competing with American build
ers. And if this is true on the lakes why
is it not true on the sea coast?
The time has arrived when the advo-
Gates of subsidies must base their argu-
ments chiefly on the fact that it costs
more to operate ships under the Ameri
can flag than under other flags, largely
because the American standard of living
is higher. Wages and salaries must be
better than abroad and the food Of the
crews also. But American machinery anG
the superiority Of American labor has
offset this handicap in many other indus

Any person or institution found to be

pounds into the chords in heavy barroom
style Of execution so as to carry this mental

invisible string drawing him back. He is
tired of those particular notes and of the
air. but by and by he .forgets himself and
drifts back. When he next leaves the in
strument he says to himself:

Within quarter of an hour he is at 1t

In five minutes he is as sick of the piano
as a small boy if of pie after the third piece.
