to look to Europe for commercial and Industrial
relief?
No, this shallow and immoral proposition is
entirely too one sided for Americans to accept
The moral obligations Of the case are para
mount. Our first duty is to do what morality
and honor demand. But after that questions of
expediency and national interest are potent.
There is no certainty that Europe will grant
relief by abolishing bounties. Even If she does,
that relief can scarcely be as prompt or as COM
plete as that which this country could give to
Cuba. But If it We're granted, and were as
prompt and as perfect as we could give-it
could not possibly be more so-it would still be
far preferable for us to do it instead Of Europe.
For, supposing the benefit to Cuba TO be the
same in either case, In the one case we should
reap great corresponding gain, while in the
other should reap none, but rather suffer
heavy loss.
The demand is not only for an opening Of our
markets to Cuban sugar, but also for an open
ing of Cuban markets to our cotton and wool
and vegetables and wines and leather goods
and animals and animal products and oils and
drugs and chemicals and other products Of our
farms and mines and factories, which, to the
value of S30,0O0,000 or more a year, Cuba now
purchases in Europe, but under reciprocity
would purchase of us. If we cannot afford to
forego the $1O,OOO,OOO year-at most-which
the halving of the Cuban sugar duties might
cost us for the sake Of gaining the S30O00000
how in the world can afford to lose the
$50 COOS 600 for the sake of saving attraction OF
the $4,000 600?
New-York tribune., 1902-01-20
A ONE SIDED PROPOSAL.

1t'1s suggested that we should let Europe
Eette the Cuban question for us, the argument
being after this fashion: 1t is the competition
of cheap, bounty aided sugar from Europe
which prevents Cuba from selling her sugar to
rs at a profit But it may be that European
countries at Brussels this week will decide to
abolish the bounty system. If they do, the
price of their sugar in cur market viii be cor
resppndingly raised, and thus Cuban sugar will
be enabled to compete with it prohtably. There
sore, let US wait for Europe's action.
1t is a question whether this proposal is the
hore notable for its cynical immortality or for
its shallow and shortsighted folly. This coun-
Try is unquestionably bound by 'weighty rea-
sons Of morality" and by ''every consideration
of honor" to deal fairly with Cuba, and to give
her market in return for the one of which We
have deprived her. What a monstrous proposal
II is Lhat we should repudiate that obligation
On the chance that some other nation will in
some way give Cuba the relief which we owe
her, 1t Is as though q man should refuse to
pay lawful debt on the ground that his
creditor was likely to receive from some one
else gift equal TO the amount of the debt
So much for the morals Of the scheme Now
Tor its business sense. Suppose the Hamburg
price of sugar is raised so that sugar from
Cuba can be sold at a profit There is no
guarantee fhat tt VIII come to our market The
English market will be equally open to II ner-
haps even more open, and Cuban sugar NAV 20
thither, as it used to do before the wise reci
procity policy of Harrison, Blaine and McKin-
ley brought it to US. In that case what of our
trade with Cubaf How can we expect to sell
anything to herr Already our sales to Cuba
are small. and are growing smaller We GER
kainly cannot hope TO increase them by DRIVING,
her to look to Europe for her market
OF Cuba's S6,oo0,000 worth of cotton goods a
year we. with our cotton fields and mills al
most within sight OF her shores, furnish only
100000; Of her 100000 worth of vegetables
and vegetable f1bres we furnish less than
100000; of her S2,70o000 worth of wines we
Furnish sS29,ooo; of her SS476Ooo worth of
animals and animal products we furnish less
than 100000; of her 81, 63S,OO worth of
manufactures OF leather we furnish only
k4o5,00o- Are those figures satisfactory to the
cotton planters and spinners, to the farmers. TO
the vineyardsts, to the stock raisers and 10
hhe manufacturers of the United States? If
hot how can they be made so by telling Cuba

OFFICIAL NEGLECT DANGEROrs

The just and proper action taken by Governor
Odell in removing from office the Sheriff of
Erie County for neglect of duty in failing to
close a poOlrOon when convincing evidence
was presented that 1t was his duty to make
arrests ought to inspire wholesome feeling
Of dread among officeholders in all parts of
the State who fail to enforce important and
weighty provisions of the statutes. Men who
are conspicuously and inexcusably neglectful
Of the obligations which they assumed when
they took their oaths of office are admonished
that this is no season Of indulgence and Iaxity
toward the unfathfu
Such persons may discover that 1t will not be
so easy to obtain judicial Intervention in their
favor as Glennon found 1t. Glennon is sure TO
be punished by and by If he does not forfeit his
bail. His relief is temporary. He is fortunate
for brief period only. The Court Of Appeals
will surely not lean toward excessive leniency
for convicted wardmen or sheriffs whose official
heads have been cut Off.

TOO YOUNG AND TEYDFP

When the youthful Nixon ventured into the
den OF tigers in Tim" Sullivan's district In his
quest for Tammany recruits among the cadets
he did not escape with his life because the
ravenous beasts thought him a prophet of the
Daniel type, protected by celestial powers
The plain, blunt truth of it is, they looked
upon him as political bob veal" too unripe to
kill. When he goes further downtown even
Battery Dan" will spare him. The downy
fuZz upon his political chin and cheek is so IN
fantile that he arouses compassion everywhere
What brutal butcher would be hard hearted
enough to slaughter baby calf in politics, with
so tender countenance and with so plalntive
a bleati
AS shipbuilder Mr.. Nixon is competent cnd
able. AS a nurseing in local politics, not yet
weaned, he is "an infant crying in the night,
IAN infant crying for the light, and with no
Language but a cry" Nixon as the chief boss
Of the tough old fighters Of the Wigwam! Tam
many will never stand for that when the real
tug Of war begins and the noise of the captains
and the shouting are borne upon the gale.

MUSIC,
TOO MUCH SUNDAY MUSIC

There were indications yesterday that the s,,n.
day concert business is being overdone Mr. Ar,hr-
WhitinS gave a concert Of chamber music IN a..
Fine Arts Building in the afternoon with the bsIr
OF Mr. kneisel and Mr.. Schroeder, OF the KneI,aI
quartet. The affair belonged to a series OF h,yb
CLASS entertainments calculated to appeal To tha
musically cultured few. and the few were rsprs~
sented In gratifying numbers But Mr.. Whiting.
concert Is far outside the category of Sunday con-
certs as the term has come to be understood Tba
more the credit due to him. Also in the afternoon
there was concert in Carnegie Hail. at which
Nine. Blauvelt sang for the first time this season
and Mr. Charles Gregorowitsch (who made a fine
impression when he appeared here with the Ros+o,
Orchestral played the violin
There was small audience to hear an extrer,slv
interesting concert Of its kind, and the kind was
dignifed and deserving Of attention In the sana
hail in the evening Mr.. Eduard Zeldenrust a Dutch
pianororte player, gave second recital On tba
strength of a decided artistic success achieved q
week earlier. There might have been enthusiasm,
(for his art deserves it, had there been listenar.
enough to make it assertiye; it was. the recital
seemed to Indicate that for recitals OF it's kind ths
New-York public was not clamoring.
At the Metropolitan Opera House on the e,.
trary, the experiment of oratorio performances
was made. The result was strikingly successful
The house was crowded almost to suffocaton.

hundred voices from the Peoples Choral Union Oe5
by sturdy band from the Oratorio Society. and
with Nine Gadski. Nine. Homer. Mt. Dippel and
Mr.. Bispham. all Of the opera. as solo singers
Mr.. Walter DamrCsch, who conducted. preclpitated
some questions open TO discussion by saying that
he would restore the original orchestration OF Ham
del. but as on a former occasion it turned out To
be a mixture OF Handel and Mozart. with an in
crease Of wind instruments help out the
sorority But the multitude reoiced. and the low
ers of choral music went away with hearts swelling
at thoughts OF what popular choral culture Cas
illustrated in the work OF the Peoples Singing
Glasses and the Peoples Choral Union had already
accomplished and might yet acconplish in New
York. The solo singers were faithful to their
duty as IL IL were Christmastide performance in
a regular choral scheme, and all deserved high
praise and hearty plaudits.

Mr.. WRITINGS CONCERT

The second OF Mr.. Arthur Writings series os
chamber concerts given yesterday afternoon IN
the Fine Arts Building, in Fifry-seventh-st. Mr.
Whiting had the assistance OF Mr.. Alvin Schroeder
in Beethoven's sonata for cello and pianotorte-
of the masters later compositions that 'ceisrs
fight shy OF in the concert room because Of it's ex-
treme freedom OF structure, and the CONSEQUENT
difficulty of the ensemble; but a most captivating
work when IL Is played with so much enthusiasm
and understanding as ii was yesterday afternoon
Mr.. KneiseI and Mr.. Schroeder co-operated with
the concert given in a performance OF Brahms's
splendid minor trio. and Mr.. Whiting himself
played Brahmss set OF sixteen variations on a
theme OF Schumann's-Brahmss music being as
frequenters OF these concerts know an object OF
Mr. Writings special affection These variations
are quite unknown 20 the concert platform and
Mr. Whiting did a real service in bringing them
before his public. for they have an exceptional IN
terest not only account OF their intrinsic beauty
but also account OF a certain autobiographio
and intimate character that is be found in them
They are a special memento Of Brahms's friend
ship for Schumann in the early days OF his career.
He has put into these variations number o; sig-
nifcant hints OF this friendship snatch OF the
theme OF Clara Weeks upon which Schunann
himself had written a series OF variations years
before; bit OF 'Aibumblatt" from another Of
Schumann's works; and there nun5erless pas
sages OF recondite contrzpuntal treatment canonic
limitations IN various intervals and IN inversion.
But these are all achieved with results of such
beauty and emotional significance as MARKS not
pedant's but a true genius work. Mr.. Whiting
played them with a high appreciation OF their
meaning. with taste. finish and fine musical IN
stinct The performance OF the trio briIllaat-
ly vigorous one and Mr. schroeder's reading OF tbs
Beethoven sonata to be treasured and
remembered.
