OUR DUTY TO CUBA.

| The feeling that Cuba does not de-
serve anything from the United states
takes account Of both practical facts
| and The pleas OF sentiment. " hat Is
| cuba to US. or we 10 Cuba, that. for
the sake of making her rich and happy,
the American people should make those
among themselves who get their Twins
by raising sugar and tobacco less rich
and less happy? The theory that con-
troll of the home market should reside
in the home people is the one upon
which the whole protective policy OF
the United States is based. Because OF
that. tariff taxes on sugar and tobacco
are levied against all foreign powers
and even against a dependency like
Porto Rico. Soon they will again be
levied against the Philippines. By that
course, as the protectionist argument
has It, the creation and sustenance OF
industries which make the American
people self-supporting and keeps them
in employ at good wages is assured.
Certainly the problem has worked ou-
that way as respects protected sugar
and tobacco, for by controlling tn.
home market, sugar and tobacco have
achieved an output of enormous size
and value. But for the Hawaiian eX-
ception, a very minor one when made,
as regards sugar and tobacco from the |
tariff principle-no letting down Of the |
bars. And it is an open secret that If |
had not come TO pass, the |
treaty by WHICH Hawaiian |
sugar entered the United States free |
Of duty must have gone by the board.
The practical plea made by the Gu
ban sympathizers is that. if Cuban su-
gar and tobacco are let In freely, Gu
pans will buy our meats, groceries and
print cloth. our agricultural nlachin-
,ry, lumber. etc. That is to say, some
# our industries would be robbed 70
induce Cuba to aid others. Perhaps, If
he balance of traue were then in our

ll-treatment of the national sugar and
obacco industries, but who knows that
'ubans be willing, out of a mere senti-
nent of fair play, to buy in a dearer
market than that winch they would

Rear Admiral Simpsons attempts to
get the credit for a battle in which he
Gid not take part continue to dispIease
the public. Everybody knows that the
commander in the field is responsible
for victory or defeat and not the su-
perior officer who has gone away. Dur
ing the latter part OF the civil war
General Grant directed the operations
of armies at a distance, but that did
not take from the fighting command
erS the glory Of Gettysburg or of the
march to the sea. SIMPSONS part in
the battle of Santiago was preliminary
merely the alignment of his forces
before the enemy's port. a technical
performance, 50 simple in it's details
that any of his officers could have done
It as well. Even in this he acted under
orders originating with the War
Board, though that body does not at
tempt to deprive him of the credit for
what he did. Had the fleet been de-
feated at Santiago Sampson would
have put the blame on Schley as Sher-
dan. twenty miles away from Cedar
Greek at the time OF the rout,
properly did upon Wright. But when
the result was a victory Sampson
promptly claimed all credit and ex-
posed himself where he thought the
Bouquets would fall thickest. To the
honor of the people such tributes went
TO the other man.

There were 342 bicycles listed by
the assessors in the county the last
year, 10 of which-or one-third-
were in this city. The value OF
these 342 bicycles is placed at $3.50,
about So apiece. The tax on these
in the city at the rate Of .o2I631 on
the dollar-the regular rate-is about
IS cents. The listing of bicycles in
the county was evidently incomplete,
as may be inferred from the pub
1ished account in the abstract of

The Isthmian Canal.

A bill for the construction of a
canal over the Nicaragua route and
appropriating SISo,ooo,ooo for the
work is now up before Congress.
1t has looked all along as if the
passage Of the bill was a foregone
conclusion. 1t had been assumed
that the business of the Panama Co.
was in such shape that its purchase
by the United States was not justifi-
able. 1t did not appear that the
company desired to sell its property,
or that good title could be trans
ferred. The price at which it was
held also discouraged this govern
ment from any attempt at the pur-
chase. When, however, it became
apparent to the stockholders Of the
Panama Co. that the United States
was preparing in earnest to build an
isthmian canal, they got together
and, it is reported, offered to sell
their canal property to the United
States for $4o,ooo,ooo. This propo-
sition has put a new phase upon the
question of waterway across the
isthmus. The result will probably
be to postpone action on the bill now
pending and cause reconsideration
of all the questions involved.
Notice that an amendment to the
bill will be made has already been
given. The gist Of this amendment
is to the effect that the government
shall buy for not more than $40, ooo,-
900 the Panama Company's proper
ty and complete the canal, two-ffths
of which is already constructed.
There is also talk in Congress of
submitting the question of route to
President Roosevelt. IF this latter
proposition is adopted the two routes
will again be looked over and COM
pared.

will take only little practice to put
them right.
Every member of the home team
showed up good material and Dodge

who wants good time.

Edwards & Baughman, the enter

have Just closed a deal with eastern
parties whereby they become owners
of over ten thousand acres of land
in Seward county. The manner in
which these gentlemen do business
is commendable. Vast areas of west
ern land have been held by eastern
spectators for years. These land
sharks have made no effort to i'm
prove the land or develop the coun-
try, but have simply held onto the
land in order to force the people to
pay them enormous prices for it.
But they have finally realized that
there is nothing gained by keeping
their money tied up in wild lands,
and have found out what every man
who has lived long in the west
knows, that the only way to make
money out of real estate is to devel-
op the resources of the country.
This, they are not in a position to
do, and so have decided and wisely
too, to dispose of their holdings to
someone who understands how to do
it, and who has the energy and ca
pacity for such an undertaking.
