DIFFERENT VIEW POINTS.
Three Minority Reports on Gu
ban Annexation and
Reciprocity.

Wnshiuktous hpfi O.-lhico 5cpaiheC
minority reports of the Cuban reeiproc-
ity bill were filed to-day by Representa-
tives Robertson Of Louisiana, Newlands OF
Nevada and Cooper Of Texas, all Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Robertson says in part:
''The bill, if enacted into law, would
afford no relief to the Cuban treasury. l
believe that the benefits would 90 into
the pockets of q few sugar planters own
ing thousands OF acres OF land. The 20
per cent reduction would not 60 to the re-
lief of the Cuban people, but would go
Immediately and entirely to fill the al
ready overfowing Golfers OF the sugar re-
ineries Of the United States, known by
the name of the Sugar Trust"
Mr.. Robertson expresses astonishment
that one OF bis Democratic associates NC
Lellan) in his report refers to the bill as
an enunciation OF democratic doctrines
OF reciprocity" Mr.. Robertson adds
"It seems to me that that kind OF reci-
procity is absolutely impossible under a
Democratic tariff. Should the tariff ever
be revised on the line and plan OF the
principles Of the Democratic party, reci-
procity would be entirely unnecessary
and impossible, as the rates would not be
prohibitive and the extension OF our trade
would, as q natursl consequence, flow
from the imposition of such tariff rates
without the necessity Of reciprocity"
Mr.. Newlands makes an elaborate pre-
sentation. reviewing the political and
commercial phases. In conclusion he
says:
"The American people are becoming
tired OF sentimental legislation. We
have spent 5000, ,0O0, 900 in a war to free
Cuba. We have spent $500, ,000, 900 in
attempting to carry civilization to the
Philippines. 1t is now proposed by the
sentimentalists that we should inaueu-
rate legislation changing our finance sys-
TEN, not for the benefit OF the agricultural
classes, which have thus far received lit
tie OF the benefit of our financial legisla-
ton, but for the purpose OF diverting to
the Cuban planters, in order to relieve
their threatened economic distress. avery
large amount OF money.
81 am willing to extend this sentimental
legislation to Cuba for reasonable
period, provided it is accompanied by an
invitation to Cuba to become part OF
the United States. wish to give Cuba
full opportunity OF deliberation, and am
willing to relieve her necessities so that
this deliberation shall not be disturbed
by acute economic distress, but / am OPP
posed to the legislation, unless we give
Cuba clearly and unequivocally to under
stand that IL she wishes commercial
union with this country and conditions of
commerce not enjoyed by other inde-
pendent nations she must seek political
union with us in the form OF annexation
as q part OF the republic"
Mr.. Cooper's report is brief and ex-
presses general opposition to the bill.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1902-04-19
THOSE MINORITY REPORTS,
From the Reno Journal.

The three minority reports upon the
Cuban reciprocity bill, presented respect
lively by Robertson OF Louisiana, New
lands Of Nevada, and Cooper Of Texas,
the gist Of each of which was wired to the
Examiner and copied in the Journal Of
Wednesday. are interesting reading mat
ter, presenting as they do the different
phases Of the Cuban situation from COM
mercial and moral standpoints. All three
Of the members are Democrats and each
We presume aimed TO adapt his report TO
his conception of the tariff policy Of his
party. Mr.. Robertson, in his report
claimed that the 20 per cent reduction
would afford no relief to the Cuban treas
ury, an opinion. which in our opinion II
based upon sound logic and indisputable
facts. Mr.. Cooper's report was brief and
in opposition TO the entire bill.
Mr.. Newlands' report was in line with
the resolution he presented some time ago,
encouraging the ultimate annexation of
the island to the United States. He be-
lieved that the American people we're
tired of sentimental legislation, but was
willing to extend it to Cuba for reason
able time provided it was accompanied
by an invitation to Cuba to become Q
part of the United States. That Cuba
would be q desirable acquisition to our

that she would be warmly welcomed by

A Diphsheria Remedy.

The Scientific American, usually re-
liable source Of information, gives this re-
cipe which it says the world should
know: At the first indication OF diph-
liberia in the throat make the room close,
then take teacup and pour into it an
equal quantity Of turpentine and tar, then
hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the
room with the fumes. The patient inhal-
ing the fumes will cough out the membra-
neous matter and diphtheria will pass Oft.
The fumes of the turpentine and tar loos-

that If they consider il to their interest
to become part Of our nation, the doors
will be open to them with sll Of the privi-
leges, rights and powers Of . sovereign
State. The question Of Cuban annexa-
tion was seriously considered more than
half century ago. At that time African
slavery existed on the island and the
principal, and in fact almost oil OF the op-
position was from those who objected to
the extention of the slave holding
power by the acquisition of more slave
territory. That objection has been re-
moved and there is no valid reason why

speaks of cannot be maintained for all

annexation at the special instance and
request Of the Cuban people.

THE T1LLMAN-MLAURIN TROUBLE

Not in many moons has an occur
renee aroused such general interest
throughout the entire country as the
personal difficulty between Senators
Tillman and McLaurin on the floor OF
the senate several days ago. Much
adverse comment has been INDUCED in
by the press concerning the gentle
men from South Carolina, mainly d.
rected against Tillman.
Unquestionably it was thoughtless-
on the part of Tillman to do what
he did and he is to be censured for for
getting the dignity of the august body
of which he is member. Yet d.
rect lie, especially when given by a
man whom he believes to be political
renegade, very naturally did not come
as music to the senior member from
South Carolina. In nearly every case,
particularly in the south, the lie means
an immediate fight. McLaurin was
perfectly aware Of this when he passed
IL. and therefore invited the blow he
received.
The republican majority reluctantly
erelinquished their first plan OF expell-
ing both belligereuts from their body,
and did so solely because they feared
popular opinion. Nothing imaginable
would afford them so mach gratlflca-
IN as to be rid of Tillman. They
stand in wholesome awe of his one
keen eye, his resonant voice, his pro-
verbal alertuess and fearlessness; in
fact, they dread his very presence
AS matter of fact, rugged, unaf-
fected Ben Tillman is one of the
ablest and most useful men who has
ever occuDied a seat ia the United
States senate
