At WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Lee spent two days last week
at Washington and while there had a
most satisfactory interview with the
supervising architect OF the treasury
department with reference to changes
needed in the postoffice building in
this city, in order to give sufficient
room for the proper handling of the
business of this office. Mr. Lee has
reason to hope that these changes will
be ordered at an early date. When
made they will not only give additional
facilities for properly handling the
business at the postoffice but will also
prove great convenience to the pub
lie.
Congressman Lacey, of the sixth
Iowa district, was, as is always the
case, exceedingly busy looking after
the interests of his constituents and
closely following and actively partici-
pating in the work of general legisla-
ton. No one can visit Washington
and not come to appreciate that one
of the recognized strong men in the
national house today is Hon. John F.
Lacey, of the sixth Iowa district. The
work accomplished by him is manifest
on all sides and the expressions from
those familiar with the situation, no
matter from what part of the country
they come, are unanimously to this eff
feet. Major Lacey hopes very much
to secure favorable action on his bill
for an appropriation sufficient to pur.
chase the Hawley tract of ground ad
joining the lot on which the federal
building in this city stands. Mr.. Lee
was asked to personally explain the
situation to Congressman Mercer
chairman of the committee having the
bill in hand. and received the assur
ance that the committee would en-
deavor to comply with Major Lacey's
wishes in this matter and secure the
passage of the bill.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

There is rumor that the senate will
be called in extra session. Perhaps
this is true, and perhaps not. The
general policy Of the country is TO
avoid extra sessions, but the prejudice
against them is not carried TO such
an extent as TO involve the shirking
Of duty. The subject in view this
time is Cuba.
Congress has accomplished much
benef ial work Its record, much Of
it me le near the time Of adjournment,
will bear scrutiny. There was involv-
ed a vast amount of detail, and the
spirit manifest in the various meas
ures argued we'll of the temper Of the
country and its representatives. But
towards Cuba congress did not do its
fun duty. Perhaps the matter was
overlooked, because there were other
matters deemed more important; pos
sibly it was neglected because every
body's business is nobody's business.
Whatever the reason, the promise
made Cuba has not been fully re-
deemed.

Union:
It Is wisely suggested that unnec-
essary tariffs are calculated to defeat
the essential ends of the protective
policy. Under the head Of unneces-
sary tariffs we are bound to include
those which are operating to the ben
eft of foreign markets which are pay
ing lower rates than we are at home
for our own products. II is noto-
rious fact that steel and iron from
our own mills have been sold at far
lower figure abroad than nj home, and
freight charges must likewise have
been taken into consideration. pro-
tective policy is intended TO protect
the home manufacturer. producer and
Iaborsr, but not to so sustain prices
thar foreign competition lannot regu-
late the market and then TO undersell
abroad. A protective tariff in such
cases violates the very condition it
seeks 10 remedy,
The policy vii always be to charge
whatever price can be secured, but
there comes time when competition
OF the right kind will always regulate
affairs. We must bear in mind that
we are expansionists and cannot con-
fine our entire attention 10 our home
markets We are looking to the mark
ets of the world, and unnecessary du-
ties do not assist us at home ad only
seek to benefit those abroad 1t cam
not be that this government keeps up
the tariff TO make a market for the
foreigner. AS a matter of fact the
government rather fears to disturb the
tariff for fear Of some kind of fnan-
cial agitation, but it must be done soon
or the change win come about in a
way we certainly will not relish.
