srGAR AND POLITICS.

The Republicans have not yet made
| up their minds as to what they are go
| ing to do in the matter of tariff con-
cessions to Cuba. and there is no GER
tainty as 70 the course they will pur-
sue. It was thought they would be
able to settle the matter at the caucus
of the Republican members of the
House on Tuesday night. but our dis
patches from Washington yesterday
showed that nothing was accom-
plished. The bill to which the Ways
and Means Committee has agreed
was discussed. This bill authorizes
the President to negotiate a com
merchaI agreement with Cuba, grant
ing har tariff concessions OF at least
20 per cent. ad valorem, provided
Cuba makes the same concessions to
US. In addition, Cuba is required to
enact our immigration and exclusion
laws.
There arc two things in the way of
prompt action by the Republicans.
One is the sugar cane and sugar beet
interests of this country and the other
is the fear that it would be said in
the congressional elections that tariff
concessions were made to Cuba for the
benefit of the sugar trust.
1t has been asserted that the sugar
trust has bought about all the sugar
in Cuba. except that which is owned
by the Spanish Bank of Havana IT,
therefore, the 20 per cent. concession
were made the sugar trust would be
able to put millions of dollars in it's
treasury. And this 1t would do with
out lowering the price of sugar to
American consumers. 1t would be
just like taking the money out of the
pockets of the American people.
1t is doubtful elf the Republicans
feel very badly about that. What
they are afraid of is this; Assuming
Of course that the sugar trust owns
the bulk of the sugar now in Cuba
some 100000 tons--ft would be said
that the Republican party, knowing
that the sugar trust and not the Gu
ban planters would be benefited by
tariff concessions, made haste to put
millions of dollars into the treasury
Of the sugar trust hoping perhaps to
get some of it for campaign purposes.
1t is fear of talk like this that is
making the Republicans hesitate to
make tariff concessions to the Cubans.
The Republicans of the House are
going to meet again next Monday
night and try to find a way to do
something that will satisfy the senti-
ment in favor of Cuba without OPEN
ing the way for the charge that mil
lions were given to the sugar trust
under the guise of helping the Cubans.

Hon. Henry Watterson. in an inter-
view at Chicago on Monday on the
Tillman- McLaurin fight in the Senate.
is quoted as saying that if he were a
member of the Senate he would vote
to expel both Tillman and McLaurin.
He also said that he thought that if
they should be expelled they would
have a hard time in getting back, be-
cause their state is thoroughly tired of
them. In the course of his talk, he
said: What Tillman should have done
was to wait until he caught McLaurin
outside of the Senate chamber, if he
wished to hold McLaurin personally
responsible for his epithets. When a
man is looking for a chance to fight
he can usually get it. 1 think both
senators ought to be fired out of the
Senate. 1 don't believe either will be.
If they were 1 think neither would get
back"
1t is probable that if a vote had
been taken, Immediately after the fra
cas- occurred, on the question of eX-
pelling both senators, they would have
lost their seats by an almost unani-
nous vote 1t is practically certain
| that no effort will be made now to ex-
| pei them not because there isn't a
strong feeling against them, particular
| ly against Tillman. but because more
| conservative sentiment prevails, and it
| is recognized that the necessary two
thirds majority could not be obtained.
| There is another thing that enters into
| the situation, and that is that Till
man might secure a reelection, and
the Senate would have to receive him
with his new credentials.
Perhaps the senators are beginning
! to realize that they are not entirely
free from blame in the matter. A great
deal of rough talk has been permitted
during the last year or two in the
Senate-talk that was not in keeping
with the dignity of that body. If the
proper courtesy had been insisted upon
it is probable that 1.-The disgraceful
scene would not have occurred.
No doubt the Senate will endeavor
to get back to its ancient standards as
to what is proper language in debate.
A senator who transgresses in the
least will be called to account at once.
That is the only way to prevent the
Senate from becoming the arena of
slugging matches. The Tillman-M Nc
Laurn incident. therefore. may not be
without good results.

A cabinet officer. who not very long
ago retired to private life, started to
build up anew his law practice, says
the New York Post. A corporation
case was sent to him by a brother
lawyer Meeting that lawyer later, the
eX-cabinet minister asked what he
ought to charge.
What did you think of charging?"
asked his friend.
"Well," the reply was, II thought a
thousand dollars would be about right.

responded, ''if you do that you will
never get another case. Ex-cabinet
ministers are a luxury, If they are
worth anything. Send a bill for $4,000
retaining fee, and you will get a check
o-morrow. Then adjust your regular
charges at your leisure"

predicted II is said that the gentle

GUESSING THAT DOES HARM.

In letter published in last Sundays
World it was stated that the action
brought by Attorney General Knox.
against the Northern Securities
Company for an alleged violation OF
antitrust law, was IAN adroit bluff,
sent out to the public to forestall criti-
cism Of the United States Supreme
Court for the favorable decision which
it will probably hand down on Mon
day, in effect stating that the court is
without Jurisdiction"
The decision of the court was as in
dicated, it having handed down n de-
cision on Mnoday that it was without
jurisdiction. In it's Tuesdays edition
the World editorially says; This was
very good guessing as TO the Minnesota
case. Is it equally good rs an opinion
upon the reasons Of the Presidents
order to AIr. Knox, and upon the prob
able outcome of the action?"
1t seems to us that the foregoing Is
unfair to the President and calculated
to create the impression that the
President was not sincere in jrdering
Securities Company. 1t also mas a ten
dency to lead the people TO believe tnat
the Supreme Court by It's decision in
tended to favor the Northern SecuTi-
ties Company. AS matter of fact it
is probable that the Attorney General
of Minnesota was very nuch in doubt,
when he made application to the Su-
preme Court for permission for his
state to bring suit againsI the North
ern Securities Company, that the court
had the necessary jurisdiction The
writer of the letter published in the
World was doubtless satisfied .hdt the
court was without jurs 1iction, and
hence made the statement as 10 why
the President ordered Attorney General
Knox to bring suit against the North
crn Securities Company.
There is every reason to believe that
the President acted in the matter with
out reference to what the Supreme
Court would do in regard to the appli-
cation of the state of Minnesota or the
wishes of the promoters of the North
ern Securities Company. 1t mas been
stated in many of the papers that as
soon as the order of the President be-
came known there was surprise and in
dignation in Wall street, and that j.
Pierpont Morgan, Mr.. Hill and others
Interested in the Northern Securities
Company hurried to Washington to see
the President for the purpose of ex-
postulating with him for his hasty ac-
tion-for ordering the suit without first
giving them notice of his intention. 1t
would seem that If the Presidents ac-
ton were intended as a bluff Mr.. Nor
gan, Mr.. Hill and the other trust mag
mates would have been informed of it.,
and would not have been 80 surprised
as to hasten at once to the White
/ House. Guessing like that of the writer
| of the letter published in the World
| is likely to do harm.

Miss Cora Ainslep, a prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for
them. She says: Il suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain in
and back of the eyes, at times so IN
tensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. l had suffered from ca
tarrh, more or less, for years, but new
er thought it was the cause of my head
aches, but finally became convinced
that such was the case because the
headaches were always worse whenever
had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
"Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure, and after using a few
fifty-cent boxes which 1 procured from
my druggists I was surprised and de-
lighted to find that both the catarrh
and headaches had gone for. good"
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty cents per package,
under the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
found in so many catarrh cures), no
opium ESQ common in cheap cough
| cures), nor any harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome antisep-
| ties necessary to destroy and drive
from the system the germs of catarrhal
disease

The Philadelphia Record feels that
there will be a duel between Senators
Tillman and McLaurin, just as GER
tainly as they will meet some
where outside the Senate chamber
But il will not be a duel with guns
or knives. The Record says Senator
Tillman has already shown himself to
be a 'duelist of the st. Regis school -
hence predicts a ST. Regis duel. This
kind of fighting is thus accounted for
and described: "St. Regis is an Indian
village on the st. Lawrence, on the
line between New York and Canada,
and when two Of the Indians become
embittered they make careful prepar-
atlons for a fight. Each selects a
sturdy second, and the whole village
is notified of the coming row. The con-
testants place themselves about
twenty feet apart. and when each
second has taken a firm hold of his
principal under the arms they go at
#. For hours until the seconds be-
gin to wabble from exhaustion the
two fighters hurl chunks Of language
at each other 10 the terror and ad-
miration OF the onlookers. when ex-
haustion and hoarsenoss bring the con-
flict 20 an end each contestant Is car
ried away by his boastful friends. and
for weeks nothing Is talked OF in the
village but the awful fight"

WI ENDANGERING MS PoPuLAR1.

Many of the newspapers which have
been enthusiastic admirers of Mr.. Wu.
the Chinese minister, are now saying
that he has been made so much of
that he is becoming arrogant, and is
talking in way that is calculated to
make his recall necessary. The refer
ence is of course to the reported in
Phelah of San Francisco
1t seems that at one of the hotels in
New York recently a mutual friend in
troduced Minister WI to Mr. Phelan.
The Minister put out his hand, but,
before Mr.. Phelan could grasp it, with
drew it, saying in loud voice: "You
are an enemy of my country. You are
hostile to the Chinese. You are trying
to keep Chinese out of the United
States" Mr.. Phelan mildly protested
that Chinese coolies had to be kept
out for the protection of American
workmen. This seemed to excite
Minister Wu all the more, and he ex-
claimed: 'Then We'll keep Americans
out of China Yes, Wen keep you out
of China. We can get along without
you. What have you got that we must
have?"
1t is said that the Minister shook his
fist in the face of Mr.. Phelan From
all accounts he acted in a very un-
diplomatic manner. He forgot his po-
sition and conducted himself in a way
for him. The American people, in
making sort of pet of him have pro-
badly spoiled an official who was
pretty good representative of his coun-
try. u is probable that he will have
occasion to wonder why he is no longer
invited TO deliver addresses and to be
present at various functions like those
at which he has heretofore been a
prominent figure.
