Webster's Last Words.

Concerning last words" says Vic
tor Smith in the New York Press, my
old friend A. H. McRae has this to
say of Webster: II knew an old lady
who was neighbor and intimate friend
of the Websters in Washington. She
explained to me the meaning of his
last words-I still live Webster. as
all the world knows, was a hard drink
er. Liquor caused his death. In his
last days he was kept alive by brandy,
which he constantly craved. The day
he died his physician called on him
early in the morning and found him
very low. and, as he thought, uncon-
sciOus. Turning to the nurse. he said
If he is alive at O'Clock, give him
another drink of brandy The family
gathered a the bedside to see him
breathe his last. A clock in the room
struck s. For a moment he remained
silent: then. as no one offered to help
him. he said, rousing up and opening
his OK eyes. L still live The nurse,
recollecting the doctors instructions,
FASTENED to give him another drink,
which proved TO be his last, as he re-
lapsed into a quiet stupor and died
within an hour The old lady did not
have high opinion of Webster from
a moral standpoint, knowing that the
immortal words, 1 still live were
uttered for the purpose of getting a
final drink

THE LxTRA SESSION DISCUSSION

a day or two ago IL vas announced
II our dispatches that a reciprocity
treaty had been completed between
the Cuban minister az Washington and
the State Department, and now the
question Of an extra session OF the SEN
ate TO act upon II Is being discussed.
Of course it IS well known that q reel
procity treaty was well under way
when Congress adjourned. and there
was some thought at that time OF hold
ing the Senate for the purpose Of rati-
flying il. Il was believed. however.
that IL would not be advisable 70 do
50 as the Senate seemed 70 be hope
lessly divided on the question Of ex-
tending z helping hand 10 Cuba by
lowering the duty on her sugar.
The best opinion seems 10 be that If
an extra session is called the meeting
will take place about the middle Of
November One Of the reasons why
the Senate was not called in extra
session Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of Congress was that the Repub-
licans were afraid that the continual
agitation Of the Cuban reciprocity
question would cause their party TO
lose some Congressional districts in
the beet sugar section.
The elections will be over. however,
before the middle Of November. and
the discussion OF the reciprocity treaty
can be conducted then without much
danger OF injury TO party interests. 1t
is doubtful If il will be found that
there is a majority Of the Senate in
favor OF extending aid TO Cuba. 1t
seems TO be the understanding that
the Democrats will not help the Re-
publicans to reduce the tariff on Cuban
sugar and tobacco unless there is an
understanding that there shall be
pretty general reduction of the tariff.
Besides, there are no indications that
the beet sugar senators will abandon
the position they occupied when an
effort was made to bring about reei-
procity legislation. 1t takes a two
thirds vote to ratify a treaty. The out
look therefore for the ratification of
a reciprocity treaty is by no means
encouraging.
to consideration in connection with this
question of reciprocity is the belief
that the longer aid to Cuba is with
held the sooner will the island be-
come annexed TO this country. There
is of course no doubt that there is
a strong annexation sentiment in this
| country. Only the other day Gen Grow
ener one of the ablest OF the Repub-
| lican leaders. said that he always
wanted and still wants Cuba TO be-
| come a part of this country, and there
are Thousands of prominent men in
both political parties who feel as he
does about the matter. In Cuba the
| annexation sentiment is kept in check
| by people who have little or nothing
at stake. The property owners and
| business men want it and sooner or
later they will have their way. With
/ many Interests against a reciprocity
treaty it is a safe prediction that such
/ a treaty is not likely 10 be ratified
without a stubborn tight, If at all.
