CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER.

New York Post: The hopes OF MIN
hesota champions OF forest preserva-
ton have been somewhat dashed by
recent developments in connection with
the Chippewa Indian reservation. IL
was proposed at first to save the whole
tract of ancient pine lands for scien-
tif1c care as n national forest. The
Vaccinations OF lumbermen, sope
pressure from other quarters to open
the lands for settlement. and the will
ingness OF Minnesota representatives
TO truckle TO both sorts of self-seekers
have led to a considerable modification
of the original plan. The segregation
OF forest lands is to be limited, accord
ing to present proposals, TO 22b,oOO
acres, and these are not to be turned
over to the department OF agriculture
until the pine timber, or all but 3 per
cent of ", has been removed.

A schooner loaded with very bad
whisky tried in vain TO land its Illicit
cargo in Bangor. Me-, as the deputies
were unusually watchful. Finally the
skipper grew desperate and decided on
a bold move. He happened to WI a
small and unused barn in the suburbs,
That night he caused IL 10 be set on
fire, and had some Of his friends set up
a great hullabaloo about the streets to
the effect that a terrible confagratlon
had started. The police, deputies,
small boys, town dogs, members OF
the board of trade, secret societies ana
citlzenf On foot and in carriages, turned
out and started for the fire. During the
excitement the clever liquor dealer ran
his schooner up 10 the pier and got
her cargo safely housed before the
crowd came back.

of Germany and other European coun-
 tries without receiving the compensa-
 ting, advantage of an opening of their
 markets to our own products. When
 Cuba has joined the United States and
 the sugar industry of our tropical lands
 has been started along the line of large development, then is the time to more vigorously apply the principle of pro- tection by increasing the duty on the
 foreign product This will stimulate home production and lead in time to
 cheap sugar even as the development
 of our wheat lands led to cheap bread. Besides, every dollar expended for su- gar will he a dollar exchanged for an
 American product, to be exchanged again for our manufactures, our bread-
 stuffs and our meats.
 The cry of the beet sugar men is that
 we should protect an American indus
 try. Broadly speaking, the sugar crop of Hawaii is as much an American in- dustry as the sugar crop of Louisiana. If Cuba should be annexed the island would soon be as thoroughly American iZed as any part of the common coun- try. To-day the per cent. of black peo- pie in Cuba is little more than the per cent. of black people in South Carolina. If the reciprocity treaty is adopted and the intimate relations are established which are promised in it, the Americans will soon dominate in the island, even to carrying the elections at the polls. If the island should be annexed, its in~ dustries, it's commerce, it's material in- terests of all kinds will be merged into the total of our national interests as wholly as the interests of any state. With Americans controlling the sugar output of Cuba it would be as foolish to talk of protecting the beet sugar Of California against the cane sugar Of Cuba as it would be to talk of protect~ Ing the spring wheat of Minnesota against the winter wheat of Kansas.
 We may be assured that the republi- can masses of Kansas have been think ing of all these things, and that they believed they knew what they were about when they adopted that resolu- tion in favor of reciprocity. And, judg- ing from the utterance of the Kansas press during the past few days, we may guess that Senator Burton will find 1t no easy task to make his peace with the masses of his party.-Kansas City Journal.

AN OMINOUS TRUCE.

A community Of interest Is now said
 to have been established between the
 beet sugar refining trusts. In other
 words, the late dispatches from Wash
 ington indicate that the two trusts
 have found it better to stop fighting
 and divide the spells,
 It will be remembered that from the beginning the chief argument of Henry
 T. Oxnard against tariff concessions to Cuba has not been that such conces- sions would injure the beet sugar in 'dustry. but that they would benefit the sugar refining trust. The Morris amend ment to the Cuban reciprocity bill was | forced through the house with the avowed purpose of preventing the sugar refining trust from profiting by cheaper raw sugar from Cuba. AS the removal of the dfferential duty on refined sugar would simply annihilate the beet sugar industry. the Morris amendment looked like the expressionof madness that was content to commit suicide if only it could injure it's enemy.
 If the late reports from Washington are correct, however, there appears to have been method in Mir. Oxnards $ seeming madness. The Morris amend ment now seems to be disclosed as the weapon by which the sugar refining trust was held up and made to consent to a community of interest At any rate there are now evident signs of a truce between the two trusts. Mr. Ox- nard and his senatorial henchmen no longer brandish the Morris amendment at MT. Havemeyer. They are simply against any legislation whatever for Cuba's benefit They have inaugurated not only deliberate campaign of ob- struction to the reciprocity bill, but they also announce, through MT. Ox- nard, that they will oppose the ratifica- ton of any treaty whatever with Cuba.
 The republican party, If it yields to any such combination as that of Have meyer and OXnard in the case of Cuba, is likely to have pretty hard time later explaining why 1t did not prevent the disorder and Restitution that are certain to result in the island. To re- pudiate the policy of Mckinley and Roosevelt, and to adopt the policy of Oxnard and Havmeyer, constitute po- lltical record that few, very few. would care to defend before the people.-Chl- l cago Inter-Ocean.
