The conditions that have surrounded our

HEsITANT AS TO CUBA

The house ways and means committee
yesterday discussed the subject of con-
cessions to Cuba and failed to come to
any agreement, showing very reprehen-
sible disregard for the strongly increas-
ing public sentiment, favorable not only
to removing practically prohibitory du-
ties on Cuban products and moderating
them, but to maintaining the national
honor which is pledged, to facilitate the
progress to prosperous conditions of a
people we rescued from Spanish tyranny,
and whom we have been for the last three
years helping to rational self-government
and establishing for them the amenities
of good and economical government. The
members of the ways and means COM
mittee. have been recently realizing, ap-
parently, that there is a rising tide of
public sentiment, which does not by any
means agree with those newspapers
which foolishly contend that we owe no
obliga lions to Cuba and are under no
promise to do anything beyond driving
Spain out of the island and aiding the
Cubans to set up an Independent govern
1nent and then ''scuttle The st. Louis

A MILW.AUKEE CLOCK
Zone Of the Progressive Inventions
aof the World,
OPTION ON FOREIGN RIGHTS SOLD.
Beer City Company Will BE Organ
lied and u Large Factory
Built.

Milwaukee, Feb, 20.-Milwaukee capital
is being sought for the manufacture Of a
clock that has been referred to by rep
resentative Of the government as zone Of
the progressive inventions of the world"
and a company will be organized by Mil
Waukee capitalists factory built here
and the manufacture Of this unique time
piece begun this spring.
The clock is one that tells the time by
numerals, which show the hour and
minute in bold figures straight across the
face and the seconds by pointer travel
ing over a graduated semicircle once a
minute. In this way the time is told
without apparent conscious mental effort.
The new method is not only quicker, but
the simplicity Of the arrangement induces
accuracy. *
Three plans are under consideration.
The first is the purchase Of the patent
outright, which would require In the
neighborhood of $75,999; another Is to
purchase small interest In the patent
and an option on the remaining interest.
and still another is the organization OF
be large stockho1der and would manage
the industry for the company.
+ Mr. Thrasher, the patentee and sole
owner of the rights, completed his models
and secured his patents-ten In the United
States and fifteen in England, Germany
and France-a year ago. He then Went
to London to dispose Of his rights IN
Europe, and with the money so acquired
to begin the manufacture OF the CLOCKS
in this country. He succeeded in inter-
esting English capital and disposed OF an
option on the foreign rights, the conSld-
era ton being $3.50, 900.

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
A Doctors View.

To the Editor Of The Journal:
The consensus OF opinion among meolcai
men the world over is that the only way TO
stamp out smallpox is to vacclnate ana re-
vaccinate The writer has been through elght
epdemics of the disease, and for ten consecu-
tive months had smallpox patients on ms
hands; has spent sixty days in smallpox nos
pitfalls treating patients. He has Deen sue
cessfully ,yaccinated seven times, has never
had even the various fever He has Vaccl-
mated hundreds of people Of all ages without
having excessive local Inflammation follow,
except in few cases, and this not OF serl-
GUS nature He has never known person
who has BEEN successfully vaccinated and re-
yaccinated once in seven or ten years to
have the smallpox, or ever known a case OF
yariolod to prove fatal. If the antivacci-
nationists, the Cuban itch and-yaws doctors,
could be relegated to the shades of night, the
authorities would have no difficulty In stamp
ing out the pest. The Bible says that the
fool has said there is no God. 1t may seem
paradoxical that a man educated according
to the schools should he fool; but the high
est recognized authority by the civilized ma
tons of the earth brands as such the man
who looks over the universe and sees moth
ing but blind chance. The ants are gone by
the board and past redemption. If the evil
dence on record, together with the living tes-
atimony, is not sufficient to convince them,
they would not 'be convinced though one rose
from the dead. If they could drink the cup
of damnation all by themselves, with all its
woes, without scattering its dregs among
their friends and neighbors, the affair would
not be so lamentable. -Dr,sJ. Sanborn.,
Valley Springs, S. D., Feb. II.

A TWO-FACED EXPERT
Providence Journal

Providence Journal.
Instances of the unreliablity D Of expert
testimony have not been wanting heretofore,
but in few cases has it been made more
glaring than IN that presented recently by
Dr. Wiley. chief chemist Of the department Of
agriculture before the ways and means COM
mittee on the effect which the Introduction
Of Cuban sugar would have on the beet sugar
Industry Of the United States. Last week he
testified that free Cuban sugar would end in
the complete destruction Of both the cane
and beet sugar industries in this country"
Yet it is no longer ago than May, 1900, that
he testified before the industrial commission
that there was absolutely no occasion to fear
any such result Among other things, he
said: 'If we to-day were to admit absolutely
free from duty every pound of sugar made in
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines it
would not affect the progress Of our beet
sugar industry in, this country. We still have
to have this deficit in sugar supplied from
some place. and the best place to get it is
right here in our own country This is what
the friends Of Cuban reciprocity have all
along maintained. and DR.. Wiley has done
anything but strengthen the case Of the beet
sugar people or raise his own reputation as
an expert by giving two opinions 50 diametri-
cally opposed to each other within 30 short

LET IT Be"

President Roosevelt has faced and dis
posed, of the zschley affair I'M his own
characteristic fashion, He has done it
in the manner the country assumed he
would, and he has arrived at about the
conclusion that the country expected he
would--even those of us who have IA
vored Admiral Schley throughout con-
troversy that has done the American navy
grave injury. Without intending to take
llp the dispute again, since it is An affair
concerning which everybody made up his
mind long ago, it may be said that even
the coolest of the Schley partiZans will
hold that the president unnecessarily
passed adverse Judgment on the question
of the loop sconccl ming which even the
court of inquiry did not decide positively
against Schley: This was a pure ques
ton OF judgment, and the decision made
by the officers on board the Brooklyn did
not lead to any unkoward results. lii the
end complete victory was gained Per-
haps the Colon would have escaped if the
Brooklyn by turning to the westward had
been crippled in the dangerous prox-
o.
have followed. We think that it was en-
tirely unnecessary for the president to
give it as his opinion that the loop was
the one grave mistake made by az Amer
lean ship that day 1t is gratuitous in
crement to the burdens CT humiliation
borne by a brave man who fought we'll and
effectively in great naval battle.
The president pays Captain Clark of the
Oregon and Captain Wainwright OF the
Gloucester handsome and Well-deserved
compliments Certainly Clark has never
received the substantial recognition he
was entitled to, but Wainwright's reck-
less bravery should not be cited to the
indirect disparagenIent Of Schley's choice
of direction in turning the Brooklyn.
But, though we think that Admiral
Schley, has not had Justice done him, we
hope that we have at last reached the end
of the controversy. Schleys personal
popularity ought to compensate him for
what he holds to be false judgments, and
he will be acting the part Of a true patriot
if he now uses his utmost endeavors to
persuade his partizans to drop the whole
unpleasant affair. !

The railroads are finding that the time

PRESIDENT ENDORSES GOVERNOR

Attorney General Knox has surprised us
all. A man Of his trust affiliations and
predictions was not thought likely to
give the president any advice that would
lead to prosecution of the Northern
Securities company for violation of the
sherman antitrust act or any other act.
When, therefore, Mr.. Knox says that Gin
my judgment it violates the Sherman act
of, $780, it may be inferred that the ap-
plication of that law to the merger is so
tndisputable that no man pretending to
be a lawyer would dare to risk his repu-
tation by denying it. That being the
case, what becomes of the wondrous words
OF wisdom We have heard about the I'M
limited sapiency of the astute lawyers
Mr., Hill is assumed to have employed to
straighten out all the legal kinks before
he went into the merger. It will be re-
membered that unbounded confidence in
these lawyers has led many of the merger
supporters to assert that legal action
against the merger is superfuous, because
Mr.. Hills lawyers were as good as any
court in settling that point g..
recall what they have said about Governor
Van SAINT and to consider whether they
will now apply their words to the presi-
dent who is acting similarly. The presi-
dent, after consulting the federal attor-
ney general and being advised that the
merger Is in violation of federal law, in
structs his attorney general to bring suit
against the Northern Securities company,
its hackers and the involved railroads.
Governor Van SAINT, after consulting with
the state attorney general and being ad-
vised that the Northern Securities COM
pany was pursuing an illegal purpose
under the state laws, began suit against
that company to prevent the effectuati ton
of it's purposes. The parallel is complete.
The presidents course is magnificent
vindication of Governor Van SAINT s
course. ..- ..---...
1t may be said that Mr.. Knox was quite
willing to settle the question in the
courts because, now that it has been
raised, his personal friends-the hackers
of the merger-wish to have it settled
one way or the other as soon as possible.
If such is the attitude of the promoters
they ought not to have permitted their
henchmen to assail Governor Van SAINT
so furiously for taking course which
also tends to an early settlement of the
question.
The people OF Minnesota and the north
west will welcome this additional liti-
cation against the Northern Securities
will see to it that the state law is brought
into court. The sooner the question is
settled the better, for then we shall know
wherein our laws state and federal, are
detective if they are. We shall then
know how to mend them.
