one Instance Where an Answer Wa
Not Forthcoming.
Rapartee is like tennis The ball II
driven backward and forward from one
player to the other, and the one on
whose side it last strikes is the loser.
1t is a terrible thing for an artist at
repartee to find that he has no answer
The mere pretender does not care He
will answer something, to the point or
not, but the artist will not debase his
art with a bad answer; he merely sor-
rows for a good one.
There was little Irishman who kept
a liquor shop, and he was noted for al
ways having a reply ready. One day a
man came in. laid a dollar bill on the
bar and called for whisky. The pro
prietor set out the bottle and a glass,
and the customer filled the glass right
up to the top. rs it towel you'd be
wantin'?" the proprietor asked. imply
ing thereby that the customer had
poured out a bath, rather than a drink.
Look here said the customer,
pointing to the money, there's a dol
lar. you can take the price of this
drink out of it, and if there isn't
enough, tell me how much more you
want and I'll pay it, but / don't want
any talk from a little Mick of bar
tender"
The proprietor picked up the dollar
and laid down S5 cents. As the GUS
toner disappeared he walked around
in front of the bar and said to friend
who sat there: Casey, I'd have given
me liquor shop to have knowed what
to answer back to that man"

There is, no doubt strong senti-
ment in the country at large in favor
of doing something for Cuba. If that
something can be done without in
jury to American interests, we'll and
good, but any reduction in the tariff
is bound to affect unfavorably the
American products which come into
active competition with Cuban prod
ucts in our home markets.
Propositions have been made all the
way from free trade between Cuba
and the United States down to a 20 per
cent reduction from the Dingley rates.
Any or all of these propositions the
Sugar Trust will support. Why? Be
cause the trust absolutely controls the
price of raw sugar in the United States
and it would pay for Cuban sugar just
what price it chose. In other words the
20 per cent reduction in the tariff
would go into the pockets of the trust.
THE whole fight for a reduction of
the tariff on Cuban sugar." said one of
the highest officials at Washington, "is
being made by the Sugar Trust Every
body wants to help Cuba, but the Sugar
Trust is the only party that insists that
it shall be done in a certain specified
way-by the reduction of the tariff,
which reduction on sugar would go
solely into the pockets of the trust
The statement has been made by at
least two of the very highest officials
of the government that the proper way
to assist Cuba is to collect the whole
Dingley duty from the island and then
return the proper proportion of it-say
% per cent-to the Cuban treasury,
whence it will be distributed for the
benefit of the whole Cuban people.
This method the Sugar Trust, and all
the varied agents which it is behind.
do not, of course, favor.-Camden On.

CANAL RlGhr OF WAY.

The latest information in regard to the
negotiations with Colombia is en-
couraging. At the close of last week
there was a conference between Secre-
tary Hay and the legal representative
of the Panama Canal company, at which
the secretary of state is said to have
told the attorney that there was really
small ground for solicitude, that he was
making substantial progress and was
sanguine of a satisfactory conclusion of
negotiations for right of way soon.
1t is also stated and doubtless upon
good authority that the administration
is not disposed to allow any undue de-
lay through attempts ON the part of Co.
lombia to secure concessions materially
beyond what this country has proposed.
If Colombia is persistent in her extra
ordinary demands it is said the admin
istration will ask congress to so amend
the Spooner act that the agreement with
Colombia should not be required to pre-
cede the purchase of the property and
franchise of the new Panama Canal
company. With the purchase Of the
canal company's property contaminated
the United States would proceed to con-
struct the canal regardless of Colombia
If that country should insist upon de-
mands believed by our government to
be unfair and unreasonable.
The terms which our government has
offered Colombia are fair and gener-
Gus. There is no disposition to take any
advantage Of the southern republic. The
United States can afford to be liberal in
this matter and is willing to be. The
offer of 100000 for the concessions
asked of Colombia is generous, espe-
cially when 1t is considered that the
construction Of the canal would be of
immense benefit to that country. 1t
would Immediately put a vast amount
of money in circulation there and it
would be a permanent advantage, aid
ing incidentally in the development of
Colombia. In view of this the obstruct-
i've course of that country is remarkable,
but it will doubtless be made to see the
unwisdom and futility of any attempt
to exact terms which the government of
the United States regards as unfair and
unreasonable.

SOUTH AMERICAN COMPETITION.

American meat exporters ara said to
be meeting with a formidable colnpeti-
ton from Argentine in the British mai
ket. For several years the cattle raisers
of that southern country have been
sending more or less meat to the United
Kingdom, but much of it reached its
destination in a condition to be alto
gether outclassed by the beef from the
United States. 1t appears that now the
Argentine shippers nave found a way TO
most If not quite as good when 1t reaches
England as the American beef and sells
only a shade below it.
A late London dispatch says that in
the opinion of many experts this means
that the strength of the American beef
ring there has been broken; that having
found a way to ship dead meat with the
care and regulation of temperature
which enables the Chicago houses to
bring their goods to the British a
ket in such tirst-class condition, the big
South American companies are expected
| now to be able to ship unlimited sup
plies. 1t is stated that great curiosity
is felt as to the way the Beef trust will
meet this competition. The situation is
a most welcome one to the British con.
sumner, as 1t promises cheaper beef and
if that shall be the result there it is
possible that the American consumer
may also be benefited, since If our ex.
ports to the United Kingdom should be
materially reduced there will be a bet
ter supply for the home market. How
ever, this South American competition
may not prove so formidable as 1t now
threatens to be and the promise Of mucl
cheaper meat is nowhere particularly ia
vorable, at least for the immediate fu
ture.
