! for the majority Of the house ways and
public sentiment sufficiently to agree upon
reporting bill authorizing the president
| to negotiate reciprocity treatysWith the
Cuban republic, when established, on
terms deemed advantageous to this coun-
try by lowering duties on Cuban products
20 per cent, Cuba to make equivalent con-
| cessions. This concession Is that al
| lowed by the reciprocity clause of the
Dingley tariff.
In authorizing the president to nego-
tiate a treaty upon such terms as shall
be deemed advantageous to u.s." the COM
mittee could not consistently proceed, as
they did, to place the Limitation of 20
per cent upon the concessions made. They
leave the matter first to tho presidential
discretion and then distinctly limit him to
20 per cent reductiod! The fact is, the
president. by and with the consent of the
senate, may negotiate reciprocity treaties
ard if the senate chooses to ratify them,
the house cannot, under the provisions of
the constitution, revise and alter them.
The president and the senate will prob
ably do better than 20 Per cent off for
Cuba. "A so per cent reduction is about
the minimum concession proper to make to
Cuba That will give us practically the
Cuban market and drive Europe out of it..
Last year Cuba sold us goods of the
value of $46,663, 511 and bought from US
but $27,007,o worth. We can do better
under fair concessions. Those competent
to estimate say that, by opening a mar
ket for Cuban products here, the =Cubans
would in four or five years be expending
5000, 900, 600 annually in this country. AL
lowing a so per cent reduction on Cuba S
present crop Of sugar would diminish the
customs receipts of the United States
some SIS, 900 to $4,000, 900, but the in
crease in the purchasing power Of the
Cubans would in consequence be over
$6o,OO0,000, which would largely be spent
in this country. The results of our reci-
procity treaty With Spain, negotiated by
President Harrison in 1891, and which ad-
mitted into our country sugar. molasses,
coffee and hides free Of duty, in return for
many of our foodstuffs and manufactures
admitted free by Spain into Cuba, settle
the question of the wisdom of such trea-
ties. Was any American interest ruined
Not one. AS long as the treaty lasted lit
was declared off by the democratic con-
gress and administration in 1890 we in
creased our trade with Cuba by tremend-
Gus strides and diverted Cuban purchases
in Europe to our own market.

Is IT PROTECTIVE?

The Faribault Republican states the OBJ
lection to the admission Of Canadian
wheat to American markets free of duty,
as follows:
Free trade papers in the northwest advocate
the abrogaton of the duty on Manitoba
wheat claiming that it would benefit the
American farmer. While it can readily be
seen that our millers might he benefited by
securing the chance to -four this wheat, the
interest of our wheat growers does not APP
pear to lie in that direction. How the adj
mission Of 50,000,000 bushels of high-grade
Canadian wheat to compete with our own
product In our home market will tend to the
maintenance of prices and benefit the home
farmer is a proposition that it will tax the
ingenuity of free trade enthusiast to estab-
lish. Our agriculturists are as well entitled
to protection from foreign competition as any
other industrial interest. 4.
Yet grain market experts give 1t as their
opinion that the tariff actually operates to
cause Canadian wheat to force down the
price Of American wheat; that the tariff
on wheat is destructive instead of pro-
tective to the interests of American farm
ers This is matter that, on it's face,
calls for the most careful Investigation
by the farmers Of the northwest If the
exclusion of Canadian grain, by forcing it
to compete with the American surplus in
Liverpool, really does keep down the
price of wheat in Minnesota and the Da-
lot ie hat,
done. We don't require the duty on Can
adam wheat for revenue purposes, and if
it is means of lowering instead of rails
ing the price Of wheat south of the in
ternational line the tariff on Canadian
wheat cannot be removed too quickly.
T b e J o urn l is not a free trade
paper, but will support free trade in
Canadian wheat If it promises to give
American farmers more for their wheat.

ADJUSTMENTS
Naughty Anthony ut the Metro
nOlit0n,


Naughty Anthony" a farce comedy which
has been heralded as one Of David Belasco s
successes, is the attraction at the Metropoli-
tan for the first half Of this week. The
farce is inane and silly. What is more, it
bellies it's name for it has not even the say
ing grace Of SPICE Ill.,.
It is understandable how the piece might
have been forced for a run in New York, by
the selection Of skilful players and the de-
velopment Of the more or less famous stock
ing scene in the third act. This scene pro-
vides an excuse for much attractive adver-
Using; but as presented here, is innocuous
and embarrassing. Even the genius Of
Blanche Bates or the charm Of Valerie Ber-
gere was unable to save the first two acts of
the farce from absolute failure; but the stock
ing scene created talk; and talk Invariably
makes for increased box office receipts-the
present-day standard of theatrical success.
During its first season on the road Waugh
ty Anthony" was strengthened by the presen-
tation of wonderfully good curtain-raiser,
MADAME Butterfly" With the abandonment
of this feature, the last attraction of the
play has disappeared. Itscould never stand
alone, and in its present form is utterly with
out reason for being. It's dialogue is verita-
BILE twaddle, it's situations overdrawn and un-
funny, and the producing company, in the
present instance, hopelessly bad.
In all Justice to Marie Doro, who is an
unusually pretty little woman and an actress
OF ability in a certain line Of parts, 1t must
be said that she is wasting her time and in
juring her reputation by her appearance in
such play. Comment upon the company in
general is quite superhuous. Will F. Phil
lips, in the title role, acts tas though he
were somewhat ashamed Of his environment
Robert Folsom, who was here last summer
with the Criterion stock company, does as
we'll as could be expected with the character
intrusted to him. AS for the others, the less
said the better They have been unable to
overcome the handicap thrust upon them by
the playwright.
Miss Doro sings number Of songs during
the action Of the farce and sings them we'll
The other interpretations serve only to inten-
sify the general gloom.

from the executive committee to serve as
an arbitration board. These may select
fifth member from the division represent,
ing the public to act as umpire in case the
four find this action necessary. If there
is a controversy OF great and menacing
magnitude, the officers of the executive
committee are authorized to call
a meeting of the entire exc
cutive committee to consider the
situation and take such action as
seems necessary and WISE 1t will be OBJ
served that the arbitration committee
takes no power except those conferred
upon 1t by the parties to each contro-
versy. The arbitration committee sit
self composed Of men representing the in
terests of labor and Capital There is no
one -sidedness about the complexion Of the
committee. For instance. Archbishop Ire
land and Bishop Potter and President
schwab of the big United States Steel
corporation, Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor,
President Keefe of the Longshoremen's
association John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers, F.. P. Sargent of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Firemen are on
the committee, together with other we'll
known representatives of labor and capt.
tai. G
Such a body of men ought to Influence
disputants to peaceful solutions of their
differences. There is no excuse, under
such excellent provision for adjustments,
for amy labor organization to enter upon
disastrous fight for labor, even when
successful in gaining that for which they
contend, always, If the fight is prolonged
at all, have to record much serious loss
IN wages. The representa- tives of both
labor and capital on this arbitration
committee are all in earnest touching the
principles under which they work. There
never has been witnessed in this country
since we entered upon our great industrial
career, such unity of purpose among rep
resentatlves of labor and capital as is
found in the personnel of this committee
The committee, indeed, gives the country
one highest hope for Industrial, peace.

LIKE CASE.
A Young Girl Mysteriously Murdered
In Frlsco.

San Francisco. Feb. ia myster-
ious murder, resembling in some OF It's
features the Durrant case. Is now puZ-
cling the police department Of this city.
The body OF Nora Fuller, IA 16-year-old
girl. who disappeared from her home
January II, was found lying naked on
a bed In the upstairs back room OF an
unfurnished house at 22ll sutton
street Saturday afternoon.
The girl has been dead some time,
as decomposition had begun. There was
nothing I'm the house to indicate the
means used to take her life, but the
posture OF the body and it's condition,
together with the disorder OF the ROOM,
indicated that the girl was murdered.
An autopsy disclosed that death was
not due to natural causes. The general
theory is that the girl was either
strangled or poisoned.
Nora Fuller left home January Ii and
met a man known as John Bennett in
respons to an advertisement for a
girl to take care OF "a baby. Shet met The
man at a restaurant. and thereafter
all knowledge Of her was lost.
On January s the u In which the
body Of the girl was found was rented
by a man giving the name of G. b.
Hawkins. The general description OF
Bennett and Hawkins TALES, and it Is
thought that the two names were
aliases Of the same nan Both Bennett
and Hawkins are each said to have
been 80 or 40 years old. Bennett wore
clerical clothes, and claimed to have
studied for the ministry.
A possible motive for the murder is
found in the suggestion that the
murderer either quarreled with the girl
or feared that his relations with her
were about to become public.
