NEW TARIFF SCHEME.
Senator Dietrich Wants Cuba Paid a
Per Cent on Her Imports.

Washington, April Ex-senator Dietrich
today introduced bill providing that
when the permanent government of Cuba
is established the President is authorized
to enter into such agreement with Cuba
whereby the United States binds itself
for period of five years to pay to the
government of Cuba a sum of money
equal to 40 per cent of the amount of i'm
port duties collected during the fiscal year
1903 on articles, the growth and product of
Cuba coming directly to the United States
in American or Cuban bottoms; 30 per
cent in 1904 % per cent in 1905. 20 per cent
in 1906 and Is per cent in 1907.
On the Importation of any article pro-
duced In Cuba upon which a bounty has
been paid, the amount of such bounty
shall be deducted from the amount which
otherwise would be paid by the United
States, which sum Cuba is to obligate
herself to devote to permanent harbor
sanitation and other public improvements
and the maintenance of system of
schools Cuba is to admit articles from
the United States at the following reduc-
ton from her tariff: In 1903. rs per cent;
1904 so per cent; 1905, S5 per cent; 1906 80
per cent; 1907, 80 per cent.

ST. Vincent's.

st. Vincent's Hospital, conducted by
the Sisters of Charity. was designed for
extensions which would more than double

institution, land it will not be great

when the hospital was opened about
a year and a half ago 1t was thought
there would be room enough to accom-
modate all the patients that would apply
for admission during the next five years.
But the institution has been popular from
the start, and for months past 1t has
been full. AS the Greater Birmingham

over the. tariff.
At any rate the Democrats of the
House have achieved a signal parlia-
mentary victory, and they have -coy'
cred their opponents with confusion,
and added to the issues that will
come up for decision next November.
They have, in fact, immeasureably
bettered the Democratic position. And
all this grew out of the original vote
to consider the Cuban reciprocity bill,
upon which proposition six Alabama
members voted aye" as did a good
share Of the other Democrats of the
House. In the end the Chair. was
overruled on the question of the ger
maneness of the differential amend
ment, and the Republican Senate put
in hole, for the Senate cannot serve
Cuba and the people and at the same
time serve its favorite trust.

Four Held for Trial.

The reports of the preliminary trials
of the zeigler case in Troy are very
meagre-so meagre that at this dis
lance it is impossible to judge the
work done by Solicitor Branner. Sher-
if Reeves had gathered in eleven &C
cused persons and had lodged them
in Jail, and of these eleven, seven
were discharged and four were held
for trial Either the seven should not
have been arrested or else there
should have been sufficient evidence
secured to hold them for trial. aah
The Covington Star says the Taren-
tum neighborhood, where the lynch
ing occurred, or from which the men
came who did 1t, has long beenlter-
rorized by a gang. of lawless men,
and that public sentiment demands
change The Elba Clipper more
than intimates that these lawless men
lynched an innocent negro, stating
that the father of the child in ques-
ton is ready to swear that no assault
was committed. 1t was case, in
short, of unprovoked murder in fact
and in all conscience, as well as in
law.
The good people of Pike County
l..
where it is. The murder of an inno-
cent man was committed by a gang
of men from the Tarentum neighbor-
hood, and if an earnest effort is made
to find the leaders of the mob it can
be done, and an example will thus be
presented that will long be remem-
bered in Pike County and in all the
rest of the State.
1t is perhaps too early to Judge the
plans of the State. Solicitor Branner
may be able to do the important pub
lie work assigned to him in credit
able manner. When the four men held
for trial are tried no doubt more will
become known. At present the. case
presented is not credit to the good
people of Pike, and it is a positive
and downright disgrace to Alabama.
If an innocent man can be seized by
mob and inhumanely butchered, and
no one can be found by the States
officers who is guilty, law is farce
and the social order is abolished.

WASHINGTON WINS.
Can File Suit Against the Northern
Securities Company.

Washington, April 21-The United States
Supreme Court today granted leave to
the State of Washington to file an orig
inal bill for an injunction against the
Great Northern Railroad Company, the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company and
the Northern Securities Company in ac-
cordance with the petition of the state
recently filed in the court.
The opinion in the case was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller.
The chief Justices opinion consisted en-
tirely Of a review of original cases of the
same character which have been brought
to the attention of the court. The two
most important of the cases thus cited
were the case of the State of Louisiana
vs. the State of Texas concerning the
quarantine regulations of the latter state
in which leave was given to file, and the
State Of Minnesota VS.. the Northern Sc
curities Company, in which the petition
to file was denied. Referring to the latter
case he said the petition had been re-
fused because of the insuperable obJec-
ton that indispensable parties to the case
could not be brought into the court

ALCOHOLIC AUTOMOBILES.

From the New York Sun.
A dispatch from Berlin announces that
the German war office has offered thrse
prizes of 10000, 5000 and 2500 marks, re-
spectively. for the best motor vehicles for
military use which shall possess certain
specific qualities, the machines to be
ready for testing in February next.
This is not the first offer which has been
extended by Germany to automobile man.
ufacturers to induce them to exert their
energies in the direction indicated, but in
several respects the present proposal is
unique. Its provisions differ noticeable
from those of former competitions of this
sort, and tend to reveal, to Il large ex-
tent the practical results of the numer-
Gus experiments with automobiles for
army use which have been made in the
past.
First, it is required that the machines
motive power shall be alcohol, and hence
It must be implied that, of all the various
agents of propulsion utilized by inventors
in endeavoring to find one that would
give all-round satisfaction when applied
to vehicles for the army alcohol is be-
lieved in Germany to be the best This de-
cision on the part of the German military
experts is, however. somewhat at vari-
perts In other countries. where gasoline
and petroleum and electricity are re-
spectively, believed to be superior to any
other motive system yet discovered.
The ma chines desired by the German
army, which. 1t Is stated, are to be used
chiefly for transporting military supplied
and artillery, must weigh not less than
eight tons each and must be capable Of
drawing sixteen tons on good roads. They

ground, and also through water IS inchet
deep; The width of the tires to be USED
are limited to 20 inches.
By reference to the terms of similar
offer made by the British war office last
year 1t will be seen that the machines
for the German army are to be consdera-
bly, lighter than those sought by England.
but in the terms of both competitions is
to be found the requirement that they
must be adapted to run over rough ground
and also through water of specified
depth. or course, in judging of the merits
OF the German machines cost. noiseless-
ness and simplicity of construction and
operation will be taken into account

ton Is open only to the automobile maxi

Rules of the House.

No doubt the speech Of Mr.. Cush-
man, representative at large. from the
State of Washington, was very anus
ing. It certainly was a surprise to
the Republicans, for Mr.. Cushman is
a Republican.
The rules he objects to are twelve
years old They were devised by
Speaker Reed in order to enable him
toscontrol House of nearly four hum
dred members. He saw that House
80 large must have some method If
1t is to act on the business coming
before it. But these rules have been
overworked, it is asserted by Mr..
Cushman, and the position of the
House as deliberative body has gone
down from year to year since they
were adopted. These rules bear, how
ever, the sanction of both parties, for
the Democrats Ire-enacted them and
Judge Crisp enforced them when he
was in the Speakers chair.
Now, the House does not know
which is the worse, a chronic OBJ
structor on the floor, or a tyrant in
the Speakers chair. Before the Reed
rules were adopted the INSTRUCTOR
hindered if he did not defeat legis-
1ation, and now no legislation can be
called up except what meets the ap-
proval of the Speaker. 1t seems to be
a choice between the parliamentary
INSTRUCTOR on the one hand and the
parliamentary tvrant on the other.
Mr.. Cushman plainly prefers the
former. If there were no Senate the
tyrant plan would be intolerable 1t
operates in any event to lower the
position of the House, and It's very
undemocratic. But still it admits OF
the dispatch of some business-of
such business as the Speaker en-
dorses. II there is a middle and bet
ter course no one has discovered it,
not even Mr.. Cushman, and the
chances are that we will accept the
tyrant as preferable being to the
old-time obstructionist, who was al
most as great a nuisance as Senator
Tom Carter was when he talked an
appropriation for the Warrior to
death.

Cuban Reciprocity Debate.

The Democratic Representatives
who voted as Mr.. Underwood did to
consider the Cuban reciprocity bill
builded even better than they knew.
and they knew a good deal They
knew that the Republican party had a
beet sugar faction that was ready to
make trouble, and they knew that a
free and open debate would expose
some of the weaknesses at least of
Dingleyism. All this was accomplished
and much more. The Republican fac
tions abused each other and told at
least some truths as to Dingleyism,
and when the previous question was
ordered and the bill came up for final
action the revolt had ripened into
bolt, and the Republican machine was
not only jolted, but well-nigh smashed,
and Dingleyism got a body blow.
Not only was concession in duties
of 20 per cent offered to Cuba in the
bill, but the differential duty on re-
fined sugar and the countervailing or
discriminating duties on such sugars
are to be removed If the bill becomes
law. This differential duty is especi.
ally trust-creating affair. 1t was
put into the tariff-for-trusts bill at the
dictation of the sugar trust, which
is very powerful at Washington-in
the Senate. The removal of it would
give us chance to buy refined sugar
where we can buy it the cheapest,
Instead of being compelled to take
the article turned out by the sugar
trust at sugar trust prices. 1t would
break, in other words, powerful CAM
paign contributing monopoly. 1t is
estimated that this would save to the
people of this country $30,000,00O a
year, while the loss TO the revenue
would be but sS,00O,O0O.
Will the Senate dare to array itself
again on the side of the sugar trust
md against the people? The, bill is
now before the Senate, and the voters
Of this fall will know whether the
Senate prefers to serve them or the
sugar trust.

he House and his machine is also a
Yaluable one, and it is one that will
not soon be forgotten. 1t will serve

Democrat and former chairman Of the
committee; but the committee decided
that 1t could not recommend the desired
appropriation this year.
Congressman Bankhead himself is SINH

own for public building In Tuscaloosa,

last Congress, but the entire public
buildings bill failed then to pass the Sem
