The matter of tariff concession to
Cuba has gone almost out OF view.
This piece of business ought TO have
been attended TO early in the present
session Of Congress. In few days the
Island of Cuba will be turned over TO
the new government, and our tariff at
titude may seriously delay complete
amiability between the neighboring re.
publics.

Editor RECORD:
We are pleased to note that
Rev. John 3. Gonzales in his
partial answer TO my former ar
ticle Of July 9th has apparently
taken the "eud" which really
appeals to those most interested,
Ii. e.. to those who have property
and commercial interests here
Viz: "That tho best interest OF
the town demands open saloons.

likewise. This being a free
country, and by the aid of the

all others who do not like the
manner in which the city govern

fellow citizens had an opportun-

Now I think this is the time to

The Boxers I'D Again.

China is on the verge of another
Boxer uprising. which may equal that
of 1900, according to mail advices re-
ceived at the state department from
Minister Conger. The troubles appear
to arise principally from eXtortionate
taxation, combined with resentment
against the presence of missionaries,
thus justlfying the judgment of the
department of state. which pointed out
TO the powers that the demand for eX-
cessive indemnities would result in
serious internal troubles in China.
Minister Conger presented 10 the
Chinese foreign office a letter from DR.
Canright, the American missionary of
Cheng-Tu-Fu. describing the massacre
of native Christians there. Or. Can
right says that IL converts were killed
by Boxers and that the local officials
refused to take measures against the
Boxers. The missionaries were guard
ed by troops and were unable to leave
the mission buildings except when es-
corted by soldiers. DR.. Canright's re-
cent kilograms say the situation is
worse.

A Romantic Career.

Mrs. Grace Briggs Robinson Good
lander died at the residence of her par
ents In Lapcer Tuesday night She was
the wife of David w. Goodlander. as
sistant freight agent of the Grand
Trunk railway at Flint. Although but
20 years of age. Mrs. Goodlander had
had more than her share of romance.
Grace Briggs was pretty girl and
popular i'm social circles here. The an
nouncement Of her engagement 10 n
wealthy mine owner I'm the west, and
her subsequent departure for that sec
ton of the country TO marry Robinson
caused quite local sensation.
The developments following her
marriage. however. caused even Il
greater sensation. Before the marriage
ceremony was performed Grace insist
ell on $4,000 i'm gilt edged mining
stocks being made over To her for her
own use. Robinson Willingly acceded
to the girls demand.
Six months later came the news that
the young bride had deserted her hus-
band and was on her way home. This
was followed by the news Of her ar
rest nj Cleveland, O.. at the instigation
OF her husband. who had begun suit To
recover the $4,000 stock dowry.
The courts threw out his case. and

HENDERSON RETIREs.
The Speakers Reasons for with
drawing From the Race.

Speaker Henderson, finding that his
views in respect to the treatment of
trusts by reducing the tariff In whole
or in part, are not in accord with the
views of many of his party in Iowa,
has declined to accept the nomination
for congress, and has withdrawn from
the race.
Mr.. Henderson gave ont an address
which states his views on the tariff and
trust questions, and because these
views, in his opinion, are not in ac-
cord with the state platform and with
the opinions of prominent members of
his party, lie declines to accept the
nomination. The address is ITO the Re
publican voters of the third Iowa dis
trict." He says, being Republican
be Is 4 protectionist. and If he ever en-
tertainod a doubt as TO wisdom of Il
protective policy. Il hasty comparison
between the present and the past
would blot out such doubt. He then
speaks with satisfaction of the tariff
planks of the last two national plat
forms. Continuing he says:
For three years | have advocated
giving control of trusts TO congress. In
my Judgment, proper supervision can
never be had until congress has power
TO treat them. | am glad To see from
speeches made by our fearless and up
right chief executive. that he is advo-
eating federal control over these cor
porations, and while in some quarters
they may sneer at it, | have not seen
any proposition yet, except this, that
seems at all likely to bring relief"
The Republican state convention,
held in the latter part of July, took
strong grounds on the question of re-
duction of tariff on goods whose pro-
duction in this country is controlled by
trusts, making the following declara-
ton on that subject:
1--WE favor any modifica-
tions of the tariff schedules that may
be required to prevent their affording
shelter to monopoly"
