FAILING FOR TWO
Trend of Affairs Caused trc
down of Cecil Rhoces.

London, March 27.-The death Of
Cecil Rhodes came as no great sur.
prise to those few who saw anything
during the winter. Whether it was
siege of Kimberley, or the accumulat-
South Africa, with an accompanying
towards him, there is no doubt he has
within the last two years. Even his
formed face had become bloated and
his huge frame filed out till walking
was most difficult. He was frequently
attacked with severe heart troubles,
but he ever Exhibited the stoicism
which marked his extraordinary ca
reer. Nor cid he allow his bodily all.
Up to the last Mr.. Rhodes kept a firm
interests created and controlled by
him. Except that he was more irri-
table and more dictatorial there was
handling men, millions and empires.
ever, he soured. Once his days work
at the Offices of the British Chartered
South African company was over he
shut himself up in an unfrequented
London hotel, where he utterly denied
himself to all except half a dozen ia
vored intimates. DR.. Jameson was his
constant companion. They could be
seen in the park in the morning, taking
Solitary Rides on Horses,
never going faster than walk. More
especially did Mr.. Rhodes shun the
present government leaders. He bit
terly expressed his contempt of Brit
ish army methods in South Africa and
! probably never quite forgave Mr.
Chamberlain and Lord Minor for not
consulting him or endeavoring to util-
ize the powerful fnancial-political ma
chine which Mr.. Rhodes undoubtedly
manipulated over the whole of South
Africa. With increasing irascibility he
grew more and more restless as the
end of his life drew near. He was
never contented to stay long in one
place. His closing days developed into
| unceasing quest of change of scene.
| During his recent trip to Egypt this
was particularly noticeable. He
rushed from place to PLACE as if with
the only object of accomplishing his
own plans. Then he suddenly return
ed to England.
Financially Mr.. Rhodes death is no!
likely to have any farreaching results
as all his enterprises were systema-
tized so thoroughly as not to need the
master mind SO necessary to their in
ception.
Owing to the very great success OF
the De Beers mines, the British Chart
cred South Africa company and other
great South African ventures Rhodes
fortune had been steadily accumulat
ing. He lost money over the war, but
what inroads that made must have
been slight compared with the many
millions he possessed. -

UNJUSTLY BURDENED
DOMESTIC ASPECT OF THE CUBAN

Three Agricultural and Two Manufacture

pense of Adding to the Market Value
of Cuban Sugar and Tobacco.

The question is asked, Can the nation
afford to Cypress or withhold justice
from neighboring and dependent
state? We should say not, on general
principles. Nobody proposes such a
thing. 1t is, however, in order to ask,
Can the nation afford to Cypress or per-
petrate an injustice upon its own pro-
ducers of sugar and tobacco? This is,
in fact, seriously and strenuously pro-
posed. While it is not exactly clear
that the United States is morally
bound, or even should feel sentiment
ally impelled, to rush to the relief Of
foreign country and alleviate condi-
lions (real or imaginary, which 1t
had no hand in bringing about, it is
entirely clear that the United States
ought not to select three branches of
its agricultural industry and two
branches of it's manufacturing indus

ban relief, even to the extent of being
themselves thereby brought into a
more desperate case than that which is
alleged in behalf of the Cubans.
The three branches Of agricultural
industry which it is proposed to plum

of sugar cane and sugar beets, and
those devoted to tobacco culture. SUI

that they are circulating and signing
petitions requesting that as a favor to
them the United States establish free
trade with Cuba.
Bat that would be contrary to the
American policy. We are friendly to
the people whom we have assisted to
their freedom, but as an independent
nation they will be foreigners, and
free-trade with other countries, aside
from certain moderate reciprocal
agreements that may be entered into,
is against our theory.
The Cuban planters and business
men are consequently asking for a
great concession. But they say that
without IL independence will do them
no good. They must have free-trade,
or at least reciprocity TO an extent
that would practically amount to free
trade. But the United States will have
to be guided largely by its own inter-
ests in the matter Too much cannot
be conceded out of pure friendship,
The erection of high tariff walls will,
it is predicted by many, result in the
Cubans ultimately seeking annexa-
ton. That, in our judgment, is the
final destiny of the island any way
