THE REBATE PROPOSITION.

A number Of republican senators are
reported to be favorable to the PROPOSE
ton to grant a rebate In Cuban prod
ucts, the amount to be paid into the
treasury Of the government of Cuba, to
be distributed or used as that govern
ment may think best. 1t is said that
the Dietrich plan is well thought of,
but will probably be modified. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is manifesting a good
deal Of anxiety to have something done
and there appears to be a chance of
something being done, although there is
no definite assurance of anything.
We noted a day or two ago a state
ment by Representative Mccall Of Mas
sachusetts that the proposed tariff con-
cession of 20 per cent would give $780,
600 annually. This would be a very
handsome sum for the treasury Of the
new republic and would 20 far toward
solving the problem Of providing for the
ordinary expenses of the government. 1t
would, II properly used, benefit the
whole people, whereas under the bill
passed by the house only a small por-
ton of the Cuban people would be bene-
flied. The American Sugar and To-
bacco trusts, there is no doubt, would
reap most Of the benefit. Evidence pre-
sented to congress shows beyond ques-
ton that a large amount Of Cuban
sugar lands is owned by Americans,
presumably connected with the trust,
whose president has acknowledged that
he has purchased lands there. A cor
poration has just been organized for
the purpose of controlling the tobacco
industry Of Cuba. These corporations
would be the chief benefciaries under
the operation Of the house bill. There
Is no question that the rebate plan
would be more advantageous to Cuba
than the other, but there may be a con-
stitutional obstacle to its adoption.

TIE OREGON ELECTION.

The result of the election in Oregon
was a republican victory except as to
the governorshlp, which was lost be-
cause Of a fractional fight. The repub-
Leans elected all the rest of the state
ticket by about the usual majority and
the two members of congress by in
creased maJorities. They also elected a
majority Of the legislature. While,
therefore, the result is not wholly salts
factory from a republican point Of view,
yet Oregon has declared In favor Of
republican policies and principles. The
loss Of the g~overnorship is, Of course,
to be regretted, but with the circum-
stances understood this fact will have
no influence in behalf of the policies
and principles represented by the sue
cessful candidate for governor. On the
contrary the verdict Is distinctly and
unequivocally an endorsement of repub-
lican national policy in all respects.
There is no good reason, therefore,
why the result in Oregon should not
have as great an influence in the coun-
try at large as II the entire republican
ticket had been elected and it is not to
be doubted that it will have. 1t re-
fleets the attitude of a majority of the
people of the Pacific coast particularly
in regard to the Philippine policy. They
believe 1t to be the duty of the United
States to retain possession of the archi-
pelago and to give the Filipinos peace,
good government and the benefits of
American instruction and protection.
The voice of the republicans of Oregon
calls to the party generally to stand by
its principles and policies and the call
will not be in vain.

OF all the hot air schemes that have
ever been projected, the proposed air
line from Omaha to the gulf for the
purpose Of capturing the trade Of Cuba
and the invasion of Central America by
Omaha jobbers is the most visionary
and ~wild-eyed. With Kansas City, st.
Louis, New Orleans and Galveston so

for interceptlng and building up traffic

The New York Chamber Of Commerce has
received as gifts three groups Of statuary,
the cost OF which amounts to about $3e, 900.
The statues will adorn the front OF the new
home Of the chamber in Liberty street. The
statues are in memory of distinguished
New Workers. who were identified with the
earlier history OF the chamber, and they
have been given to the association appro-
priAtely by members who are In the public
eye at the present time. The men In whose
memory the three statues will be erected
are De Witt Clinton, Alexander Hamilton
and John Jay. The first is the gift of
Morris X. Jesup, president Of the chamber;
the second Is given By John s. Kennedy
and the third by William e. Dodge. The
cost Of each Is estimated at about SIP, 600.
The sculptors who are doing the work are
Daniel French and Philip Martiny. Work
has been begun on the groups, but has
not advanced beyond the first stage. Be-
cause OF the great amount OF labor in
yolved in the chiseling Of the marble It
is not expected that the statues will be
completed In time for the dedication Of the
building, which has been planned for Mo-
yember IL Of this year. as the
statues will play a vital part in the pro-
gram OF this occasion, plaster casts Will
be erected in their places, which will be
Identical in size and figure to their marble
prototypes.

A retired police sergeant who died in
this city a year ago, says the New York
Sun, believed in the latter years of his
life that he was the only man then liv-
ing who had known Aaron Burr, but there
is still living in Brooklyn a man who as
a boy knew and served Burr. He is Cab
riel Harrison, an actor and a teacher Of
elocution. Mr.. Harrisop's father lived from
1880 to 1888 at SO Reade street, and on this
same street lived Aaron Burr. then an old
man, Burr occupied the front and back
parlors Of Mr.. Proudhomme's two-story
and dormer brick house. Mr.. Harrison used
to carry proofs as a boy for his father, who
was a copper plate printer. to Mr.. Proud
homme, who was line copper engraver,
and in his way he met Burr. He ran many
an errand for the old lawyer. In return
Burr gave him a few lessons In elocution
and so won the boys gratitude. Mr.. Harri-
son says that even then Burr's voice was
one to win the listener. This was In 1881,
and during the cholera scare OF 1882 he
missed Burr. In 1884 or 1885, he says, he
went with a companion, George Canierre.
who afterward became mayor of Chicago,
to a k delicacies to an old man In the
Tontine building. To his surprise the In
valid proved to be Aaron Burr. This was
the last time Mr.. Harrison saw him.
