FRANCIS ADAMS AID


Shall Lee have a statue?
This son of Massachusetts, answers
this query in the affirmative and pre-
diets hat the time will come when a
bronze statue of tn confederate chief
tain will stand in a public place in the
nations capital.
This address of a citizen of Massa-
chusetts, delivered in a northern city
was as remarkable as it was crafty
ing to every man on southern soil. His
tribute to General Lee was grand. No
greater respect to his memory or higher
regard for his course e action could be
demonstrated. No southern orator could
have given Lee greater honor for hon.
est conviction, loyalty, patriotic devo-
ton and self sacrifice in the cause
which he not only considered right, but
which the speaker declared was, after
all, based on the great fundamental
principle of the consent of the govern
I'd"
In substance, the address declares
that Lee, viewing the conditions in 1861.
from his standpoint. was right; that he
took his stand upon the highest grounds
of patriotism and loyalty: that with his
teachings, his surroundings and his
construction of h constitution. he
could have taken no other course. and
that all honor and praise are due him
for his loyalty to his state and his he
roic defense of her cause.

Of the storm. Perhaps Jupiter Tonans
took IL for granted that no man would
go TO a flsherman's hut on a lake
shore Sunday afternoon for any other
purpose than to fish. Assuming, then,
that the god was correct, this dis
elimination in the ~lightning's work

LAST RESORT OF CUBAN RECIP-
ROCITY ADVOCATES.

While the president, it is said, will
take no more official action in regard
to Cuban reciprocity, the fight has by
no means been given up, but redoubled
efforts will be made to secure some re-
lief for Cuba along this line.

ROOSEVELT'S ~ANACHRONISM.

1t is not often that a president of the
United States in a public document,
such as a message to congress, makes
such a blunder as to facts connected
with American history as the Philadel-
phia Times charges President Roose-
Welt with in his special message to the
congress last Friday in regard to the
Cuban reciprocity bill What makes it
all the worse for Mr.. Roosevelt, the in
accurate statement of facts was en-
braced in the message pom which to
base an argument favorable TO h pas
sage of the bill. In this message the
president said.
"Some of our citizens oppose the
lowering of the tariff OF Cuban pro-
ducts, just as three years ago they OPP
posed the admission of the Hawaiian
ISLANDS lest free trade with them might
injure certain of our interests here. In
the actual event their fears proved
baseless as regards Hawaii and their
apprehensions as to the damage TO any
industry of our own because of the
proposed measure of reciprocity with
Cuba seem to me equally baseless.'
The Philadelphia Record calls atten,
ton TO the fact that while most of the
democrats in the senate oppose TIT
annexation of the Hawaiian islands
they did not base their objections upor
tn. ground that annexation would bring
free trade with the island, but opposed
it for entirely different reasons. Their
could not have been opposition to an
nexation on the grounds specified b!
President Roosevelt, because, as Tn

senate only.
IL such proceeding is constitutional
and the relief of the kind proposed is so
urgent, we cannot see why so much
time has been wasted in trying to Sc
cure hat relief In the manner hereto
fore attempted. If there is no doubt OF
the right of the president and the SEN
ate to settle this matter according to
the presidents proposals why was not
the more expeditions course taken at
first? Adopting this means as a last
resort looks as If there were doubt in
the minds Of those who propose il as
to its legality.
There is one obstacle in the way of
this procedure, and hat is the law
which requires a two-thirds' vote of the
senate to ratify a treaty with a foreign
country. There are nineteen republican
senators who up to this time have de-
clared determined opposition to any
reciprocity with cuba. To secure a
two-thirds' vote. 6he reciprocity advo-
Gates will have to seoul the support
of quite a number Of democratic sena-
tors. This can hardly be done if the
differential on refined sugar is to con-
tinue in effect under the treaty. 1t was
by voting to repeal this that the repub-
licans of the house favorfng reciproci-
ty secured the democratic support on
the passage of the bill in that body.
So it is probable Mr.. Roosevelt's last
resort will be confronted with about as
serious obstacles as the attempt to Sc
cure the desired end in the ordinary
way.

lican newspaper, offers it's party lead

be well to drop the Cuban tariff ques-
ton for this session and let the matter
go to the people in the congressional
elections this fall. 1t makes the state
ment. remarkable as coming from a re-
publican newspaper, that there is no
longer any p%retence hat the proposed
tariff reduction is for the benefit of the
