DID THE REPUBLICANS BLUNDEa,


The Republican leaders of the House
are by no means sure they did not
blunder when they dropped the uues-
ton of tariff concessions to Cuba and
took up the bill to repeal all of the
war taxes. There is no doubt that they
took this course for the purpose of
making it practically impossible to
grant concessions to Cuba, though
they now deny that such was their
purpose. The position they took was
that by repeating the war taxes the
revenues would be SO reduced that
any considerable reduction I'm the
customs duties on Cuban sugar and
tobacco would bring the income of the
government below its expenses.
But why is it that these Republican
leaders of the House are against con-
cessions to Cuba? Tt has been stated
that they hope to compel Cuba to ask
for annexation, but, in a conference
with the President on Sunday, they
stated that the protectionists were so
strongly opposed to making tariff con-
4cessions that they were afraid If con-
cessions were made to Cuba the Re-
publicans would lose control of the
House at the approaching congressional
elections.
Did the Republican leaders, In TAX
ing that position, make a blunder?
There Is a growing impression that
they did. The President seems to
think so. and insists that something
shall be done for the relief of Cuba at
once, and many of the newspapers in
different parts of the country are say
ing that the Republicans will be in
much more danger of losing the con-
troll of the House if they persist in ig-
noring the demands of Cuba than II
they give her some relief
The Republican leaders of the
House do not seem to know just what
course to take. Tt is evident that they
are not nearly so much concerned
about Cuba's needs as they are to re-
tain control Of the House. If they
knew the policy by which they could
best serve their party they would not
hesitate to adopt it. 1t is now
thought that a reduction Of % per
cent. of the customs duties on Cuban
sugar and tobacco win be proposed,
but those who are familiar with the
situation are of the opinion that so
small reduction will be of very little
help to Cuba.
AS a matter of fact the beet sugar
industry is what is hurting Cuba
the beet sugar industry of Europe
that is backed by the export bounty
system. Germany, France. Austria and
Belgium are all producing a great deal
more sugar than they need for home
consumption. and they are supplying
the market of the world with sugar
at prices which afford Cuban sugar
producers little, If any, profit Cuba's
chief crop is not therefore the wealth
producing crop 1t once was. As long
as the bounty system prevails in Eu-
rope Cuba's progress towards prosper
ity Is going to be slow. 1t is a ques-
ton whether beet sugar Is not now
produced in this country at a cost that
would make II a competitor OF the
cane sugar OF Cuba even II our tariff
laws did not provide for a duty on
sugar.

A FORCE BILL WANTED.

1t developed at the largely attended
caucus of the Republican members of
the House on Monday night that the
Southern Republicans are not in IA
vor of the Crumpacker bill to reduce
the representation of the South in
Congress in proportion as the ballot
is taken from ignorant negro voters.
What they want is a federal cleo
ton law, that is, a force bill
There is no danger that any such
legislation as that will be enacted. The
republican leaders of the North have
had all the experience they want with
legislation of that kind. Besides,
there is no sentiment in the North
that would sustain such an election
law as the Southern Republicans want.
And why is it that they want a
force bill rather than the Crumpacker
bill? 1t is probably because the
Crumpacker bill would reach only two
or three states, while a force bill
could be made to apply to all of the
states in which there is a large num-
Der of negro voters. What these
Southern Republicans are after is to
bring themselves into prominence
again. During the past few years they
have ceased to be of any benefit to
the National Republican party, and
hence that party has begun to neglect
them. 1T is not so easy for "a South
ern Republican to get an office now
q txhp n
draw the attention of the whole coun-
try to themselves by means of force
bill tactics.
The caucus is going to discuss the
matter at another meeting to be held
early next week, but it is a safe pre-
diction that no decision as to the
course the party will pursue will be
reached. The Northern Republican
leaders will not permit their party to
be drawn into making the mistake of
enacting force bill legislation, and the
Southern Republicans do not care to
have the kind of legislation proposed
by Mr.. Crumpacker. If the truth were
known it is probable that the senti-
iHCill etiilOllS llls dD1eSl Oh lnt 6eDuD-
lican leaders is to let the Southern
people work out the race problem in
the way. that seems best to them.
They have seen enough of the problem
to be convinced that it is not one to
be settled in a day or by a statute.
They are not as much in sympathy
with the negro as they once were. 1t
was their plan once to make the South
solidly Republican by means of the
regro vote. They found out by expe-
Renee that the plan was impracticable.
Many of them are now of the opinion
that their party would have a much
better chance of getting foothold in
the South If the negro vote were sup
pressed than if it were brought into
prominence by means of force bill
tactics. The force bill policy is dead
and will never be resurrected.

A resolution proposing a constitu-
tional amendment to authorize Con-
gress to designate by law the officer
who shall fill the office of President
in case of the disability or death OF
the President and Vice President was
considered by the Senate the other day.
1t was very important matter. There
were number of senator's in the
chamber, but only, one, Senator Hoar,
paid any attention to what was going
on. He alone voted, and his vote was
AYE" The other senators were writ
ing letters or reading newspapers Yet
it went into the records that two
thirds of the senators present voting
in the affirmative, the resolution was
passed." That illustrates how history
is sometimes made in the United States

The Rev. William Hastings, of To-
ronto, O., who died the other day, was
the possessor of a knife that he valued
highly. He was a chaplain during the
war. One day on train President
Lincoln handed him a knife, saying
that he had been requested to give it
to man homelier than he was if that
were possible. Mr.. Lincoln considered
the chaplain entitled to the knife, and
he regarded it with pride thereafter.

By an odd freak of fortune, the
newest Of the Cabinet ladies'" Mrs.
Shaw, wife of the Secretary of the
Navy, will become at once the leader
Of the Cabinet set and take the place
at the right hand of Mrs. Roosevelt
at White House dinners. There is no
vice presidential family, and the fam
lily of the Secretary of State is in
mourning. The treasury ranks next
to the state portfolio, hence Mrs.
Shaw will stand at the head of the COL
umn until such time as Mrs. Hay re-
enters social life. Mrs. Shaw told d
Des Moines reporter just before she
left home that she had plenty of fine
frocks; the Governor had told her to
spare no expense. The social set at
Washington, therefore, need have no
fears.

We hope the Philadelphia Press has
noted the fact that on Sunday night
last. in the city of Chester. Pa, only
a few miles distant from its own city,
a mob attacked and broke into the
jail for the purpose of lynching a
negro. That the lynching did not
actually occur was due, not to the
temper of the mob, but to its
lack of nerve. 1t was afraid to face
the pistols of the officers. But the
lynching spirit was there, just as strong
as it ever was in any isolated country
district of the South. Chester is d
city of some $4,000 people, is sit
uated in the midst of thickly settled
country and enjoys the enlightening
advantage of being almost a next-door
neighbor to the great city of Philadel-
phia: yet we see that Chester, Pa, is
as ready to lynch a negro as any coun-
try district in Mississippi or LOUIS
lana.

Senator Elkins Of West Virginia
brutally and biuntly says, If Cuba
can't stand alone, let her ask for an
nexation: that he is not in favor of
granting her anything under the cir
cumstances. In other words. it is his
position that Cuba ought TO be left
to starve unless she begs for annex
alton. That was pretty much like the
terms that Gen. Weyler offered to the
tradoes-starvation or the ac-
ceptance of his conditions.

TESTING RENO MARRIAGES.

The appeal Of Mrs. Abbie Rose
Wood in the suit brought by er to re-
cover a portion Of her late husbands
estate and also the appeal from Judge
Troutt's refusal to grant her a family
allowance. were argued yesterday in
the Supreme Court. In the original
action she failed to secure judgment
on the ground that she was a divorced
woman and could not legally marry
within a year after the decree had
been. granted, the court holding that
her marriage to Joseph M. Wood at
Reno, Nevada was an evasion Of the
laws Of California and therefore lnval-
i'd.
The Chief Justice and Justices Nc
Farlin and Caroutte appeared to take
the view yesterday that as the Cali
fornia law stands the prohibition A
gainst divorced parties marrying with
in one year after divorce could only
apply TO the cast Of a marriage in Cal
ifornia; in other words that the d.
v,rced party may go beyond the State
and marry where he or she pleases.
Attorney Timothy J. Lyons, who ar
gued in favor Of the validity Of the Re-
no marriage. claimed that the laws Of
the State as to marriages only refer to
unions contracted in the State. and
that no State has any right to make a
law as to the effect Of any act done in
another State; also that the right Of
marriage is one Of peculiar sanction in
that marriage is the foundation of
human society ana that the right of
marriage is therefore a natural one,
which may be exercised and entered
into whenever the parties may choose.
Lyons also contended that 1t is rea
enable to ask a court to undo an act
which parties have done under the
highest obligation to society.
Former Judge Oliver P. Evans, Of
counsel for the heirs disputing the
marriage, argued that a divorce decree
in this State did not 60 into effect until
n year after the judgment Of divorce
"a rendered. He further argued that
the divorced parties remained in law
married during that one year Of sus-
oension.-S. F. Call.
