Mu's Opinion of q Liar.

The reporter who lied to the Chinese
minister at Washington, WI Ting

hurt nobody. says Success. But let US
see the sequel:
On the first occasion, when he called
to interview the minister. he was
asked what salary he received. "One
hundred and fifty dollars a week.
glibly replied the youth. "It is too
much 1t is altogether too much"
said the more candid than polite WI
Ting Fang. You are not worth more
than $25 a week."
The Chinese minister, it is said,
learned later, through other newspa-
per men, that the reporter had not
spoken the truth, and that, instead of
$3.50 a week, he received but 500 Con-
sequently, when he again presented
himself at the Chinese legation for in
formation for his paper, he was curtly
dismissed by WI Ting Fang with these
words: you lied to me about your

thing as that, you will lie about any

The Ways and Means Committee has
sfde-tracked the Cuban relief question
and taken up the question of repeating
all of the war taxes. That means that
there is a strong sentiment in the
committee against granting any relief
to Cuba.
Evidently the Ways and Means
Committee thinks that as the war
taxes were imposed for the benefit of
Cuba-that is, they were imposed to
provide funds for carrying on the war
for Cuban dependence--they should
be repealed before any aid is extended
to the Cuban people. In fact there is
strong sentiment in the committee
against giving Cuba any aid. The po-
sition is taken that the United States
have done all they ought to be asked
to do for the island. If it were not for
the vigorous efforts the President is
making in behalf of extending a help
ing hand to Cuba, the Ways and
Means Committee would not even con-
slider the question of lower duties on
Cuban sugar and tobacco. AS is well
known the Agricultural Department is
against granting any concessions to
Cuban sugar and tobacco growers. In
that respect it differs from the War
Department. Secretary Root'is strongly
in favor of assisting the island. Con-
gress, however. seems to be in sym
pathy with the position taken by the
Agricultural Department.
But what is going to happen if Con-
gresS does not open our markets to
Cuban products upon such terms as
will bring prosperity to the Cubans? :?
That is question that is just now
receiving a good deal of attention.
The best opinion is that the influen-
tial men Of the island will get to-
gether and ask for annexation. There
will be nothing else left for them to
do. The island is now threatened with
mills have already stopped grinding
and others will soon do so. They see
that there is no use making sugar at
loss. With the stopping of the mills
will come disorder, because without
work the people-the laboring people,
will be face to face with starvation
1t may be necessary for the United
States to send troops back to Cuba.
No one can predict with any degree
of certainty what is going to happen
there within the next two or three
months. The island is just as likely
to be part Of the United States be-
fore the end of this year as it is to
have an independent government. The
thoughtful consideration.

A GOOD SHOWING.

At the banquet of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in Balti-
more on Thursday night Mr.. Gage
the Secretary of the Treasury, said
that the Spanish-American war had
cost this country $500, 900, and that
after paying this enormous sum there
was a cash balance on hand of $46,-
100000 more than when the war was
inaugurated. That is certainly an ex-
traordinary showing. Great Britain
by her war in South Africa has piled
up debt of pretty nearly $500, 000, 900
and the war is not ended yet
Our war with Spain was of course
a very brief one, but Spain is much
greater power than the two little re-
publics in South Africa. The people
of the two little republics. however,
are fighting for their homes, their
firesides and independence, while Spain
was fighting to retain her hold upon
a people that was struggling for in
dependence. The cause for which a
people is fighting makes all the diff
ference in the world.
But it seems that Mr.. Gage was
not entirely frank in the statement
which he made. 1t is true that we did
not increase our debt during the Span
ish-American war, and that we have
more money in our treasury than
when the war began, but are
there not some bills to be paid yet,
and are there not obligations to be
met which may make the cost of that
war much greater than $50O,00O0O0?
The Spanish War Claims Commits
sion has not got fairly to work yet.
The understanding is that there are
more than $50, 100000 of claims on file
with that commission. And Cuba is
asking us to extend her a helping
hand. She says that she cannot sur
vive unless we let her sugar and to-
bacco come into our market at much
lower duties than are at present col
lected. If these duties are lowered
may be damaged to the extent of
many millions Of dollars annually.
And what about the Philippines?
What are they going to cost us before
they are placed upon a self-supporting
basis? Certainly millions a year for
many years if we retain possession of
them. And there does not seem to
be any probability that Senator
Moneys suggestion in respect to them
will be adopted, namely, turn them
loose and let them go to the devil.
Unless we are greatly mistaken it
will be a good many years before we
shall be free of the financial burden
fastened upon us by the war with
Spain. We are able to make very
good showing in the matter now, ow-
ing to the prosperity which our coun-
try has enjoyed, but hard times may
come before the cost is entirely liquid
ated. Ten years hence we may not
be able to make as gratifying a show
ing as Mr.. Gage made at the Balti-
more banquet.

Frederick H. Weber the stylish burg
lar, has several aliases, but the pris-
oner claims that Weber is the only
name he ever went under, except when
he gave the name of Blair on the oc-
casion of his arrest recently, says the
Rocky Mountain News.
What's the difference? A thief Ly
any other name would steal as quick"
remarked Weber, with a twinkle in his
eye.
Weber is a remarkable man in some
respects. He is type of the chap with
which silly women become infatuated,
on account of his complexion and rosy
cheeks. He is bit effeminate, dresses
well and wears his hair cut pompadour.
Il have burgIarized many houses, and
there is nothing in it," he said, as he
curled the ends of his long, light-col-
ored moustache II am not klepto-

ing if l wanted to-" was the prisoners
next remark. But, then, if any one
wants to take the chances, l guess
stealing is the fastest way he can get
the coin.
1T takes lots of nerve to enter a
house, especially the first one" re-
marked Weber II had been watching
the house for several days, and then
when l got a chance to enter it l was
afraid to do it. When l got inside I
trembled like leaf. and was almost
afraid to take the watch after 1 had
picked it up. 1 have done two bits.
Yes, 1 have had some FUNNY things
happen to me while doing my jobs. l
remember one time that the humor of
a situation appealed to me to such an
extent that l came very near being
caught. l had robbed room and was
just going out of the door, when a wo-
mans voice from the bed said, is that
you, Henry?' 1 said Yes and she asked
me where I was going. 1 told her that
1 was going to leave her and never
come back. %, Henry, don't leave me;
please don't, and 1 will be the best wife
in the world she said, but I was go
ing down the stairs by that time. She
piled out of bed and came down after
me, pleading with me not to leave her,
and as 1 was going out of the door
she caught me by the coat tail and
tried to hold me. Then she broke out
