a million names of Spaniards, pre-
scented to the Spanish Chamber of Dep
uties. 1t was also stated, to the same
chamber, that the proposed treaty
would ruin over seven hundred indus
tries in Spain.
The Spanish duty on -four was reduced
from about $6 or 81 a barrel to $1.50,
and ultimately 81 per barrel, and all
provisions were placed on the free list.
Not only that but many of our manu-
faetured articles were placed on the
Spanish free list. The Cubans were sat
isfied because they were prosperous.
In 1895, the Wilson tariff went into
operation, the system of paying boun-
ties to producers of sugar in this coun-
try was repealed and duty was
placed on all imported sugar, including
that from Cuba. OF course Spain at
once restored the duty on American
flour and all other American articles.
Very soon thereafter the revolution
broke out.
The point that Gen. Grubb makes is
that the United States ought to do as
much for Cuba as Spain did and that
if they do not make very substantial
concessions to Cuba there will be a
revolution in that island.
Gen. Grubb says that the United
States ought to put Cuban sugar on
the free list and the inference is that
they ought to make substantial reduc-
tons in the duty on Cuban tobacco. In
other words, Gen. Grubb thinks that
if Spain voluntarily, destroyed seven
hundred Spanish industries in order
that Cuba might prosper the United
States should be willing to practically
ruin their cane and beet sugar inter-
ests and cripple their tobacco inter-
ests in order that Cuba may be pros
porous.
There is "a suspicion that the sugar
trust is one of the strongest influences
behind the demand for free sugar from
Cuba. 1t would be a difficult problem
to make any reduction in the duty on
Cuban sugar without benefitting the
sugar trust Immensely. 1t is recognized
that something ought to be done for
cuba, but the question is, how much
can be done without seriously injuring
interests in this country? In view Of
the fact that the House has passed the
bill repeating all of the war taxes it
is doubtful If it is the intention of that
body to make very great concession
on Cuban sugar and tobacco And
there are those who do not want any
concessions made, believing that if
none are made there will be a request
for annexation soon after the Cuban
government is established.

A SUGGESTION BY THE BoERs.

We suggested a day or two ago that,
in all probability, it was not the inten-
ton of the Boer delegates who are
on their way to this country to confine
their efforts during their visit to col
lecting money from Boer sympathizers
and urging our government to stop the
British from purchasing supplies from
sour people. Our view was that their
1ission had a much wider scope, and
snat view is confirmed by a letter
received by Representative Cochran of
Missouri from three Boer delegates
quartered in Brussels, where they are
in close communication with Mr.. Kru-
ger. In that letter. an extract from
which was published in our dispatches
yesterday, the suggestion is made that
the United States invite Great Britain
to a congress of the nations called in
the interest of peace. These delegates
express the opinion that Great Britain
would not dare TO refuse the invitation
to take part in such a Congress.
1t may be that she wouldn't refuse,
but it is safe assertion that the
United States are not going to extend
her any such invitation. 1t may be
that the Boer delegates who have
started for this country have for their
chief object the working up of sem
timent in behalf of a congress of ma
tions. If so, there is no doubt that
they will receive a great deal OF en-
enlargement, because the people very
generally sympathize with the Beers,
but they will not succeed in working
up a sentiment sufficiently strong to
force the government to take a posi-
ton that would embarrass Great Brit
ain in her war in South Africa. If
the Beers are depending upon this
country to take the initiative in a
movement in behalf of Boer independ-
ence they are going to be disappointed.
There is just now an effort to make
it appear that Notwithstanding all of
Great Britain's protestations she was
not altogether friendly to us just prior
to the outbreak of the Spanish Ameri-
can war, and it is probable that Boer
sympathizers are back of this effort,
but there is no good reason for think
ing that it will be successful.
1t is a safe prediction that we are
going to have a great deal more agita-
ton in behalf of the Beers within the
next month or two than we have yet
had If nothing should come of it the
chances are that the Beers would lose
heart, and give up the struggle. The
movements of the Boer delegates dur
ing their stay in this country will
therefore be carefully watched for de-
velopments

He was the father of bulls" says
the London Express. 1t was he that
asserted that 1.-The best way to avoid
danger is to meet it plump" AT an
other time, in conveying a warm invi-

the fool of the Grattan Parliament, but
there was a good deal of native
shrewdness hidden away behind all his
foolishness. To Curran, when the lat
ter once exclaimed in the midst of a
debate that he needed aid from no one,
and could be ''the guardian of his own
honor" Sir Boyle instantly interject-
ed his sarcastic congratulations to the
honorable member on his possession of
sinecure. But possibly the gem Of
his rhetoric was the picture which he
conjured up on one occasion to bring
home to his hearers the excuses of the
French revolutionary mob Here, per-
haps, sir the murderous Marshal Law

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
THE town would be so pleasant, you
know,
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about il till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead
And then. of a sudden, the town grew
still:
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty
street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to
meet
WAS a sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
and the path that the runners made:
For there wasn't a soul IN all the
place
who knew how the game was played.
The cherries rotted and went 70
waste
There was no one TO climb the trees:
md nobody has a single taste.
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy-nOt

COLLEGE
ATHLETES.
Strength and Endurance the
Result of Proper Training.
Blood Wine-Used at Principal
Universities -Improves General
Health of Students.


The interest in college athletics is un-
doubtedly growing. This is due to sew
eral causes. Probably the first reason is
that of making aname for oneself-which
goes down in history and becomes a
monument to ones memory-respected
and honored by the succeeding genera
tions and constituents of the several in
situations of learning.
The fact that athletics, as now INDUCED
in throughout the country, has been a
means of turning sickly, puny men into
sturdy specimens of manhood is also avery
great inducement, and serves to arouse
athletic instincts in thousands of young
fellows, who would otherwise have no
aspirations in that direction.
The training of a college athlete is a
good example for everyone to folio "
throughout life.

Impassioned tributes were paid to the
American COW during the debate on the
oleomargarine bill in the House by
representatives from the farming dis
tricts. None apostrophized her more
eloquently than did Representative
Selby of Hardin, Ill, says the Washing
ton Post. He said, fervently:
II am a friend to the COW. I am a
friend to the woman who milks the
COW. / am friend to the man who
stands by and watches his wife while
she milks the COW, for is she not his
helpmeet? 1 love to see the woman
churn the foaming cream until the but
ter cometh. 1 love the nice, fresh but
termilk. / love to see the busy house
wife wallop the butter about in her
hands into shapely rolls. l love to see
the butter come, and then I love to
make the butter fly.
Memory goes back to the happy
times when the cows came home, and
to the less happy times when 1 had
to make them come home. Any man
who has been raised with a COW will
never lose his friendship for her, nor go
back upon her when adversely strikes
her business"

Col Ernst, of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, was before the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals on
Tuesday and gave his reason for pre-
ferring the Panama route to the
Nicaragua route. The reasons he gave
seemed to be good ones, but it is
worthy of notice that about everybody
who is opposed to the building of any
isthmian canal is now friendly to the
Panama route. 1t has not been so very
long since Mr.. Carnegie was saying
that there was no need for an isthmian
to Senator Platt of New York he in
timated that the traffic of a canal would
not be much, if any, more than third
of the estimated amount. Can it be
that this quite general change of senti-
ment in favor of the Panama route is
a movement to defeat all isthmian
canal legislation? OF course we do not
refer to the change that has taken
place in the opinions of the members
of the Isthmian Canal Commission.
Each one OF item has stated that he
would have reported in favor of the
Panama Canal in the first instance if
the price which is asked now had been
asked. then. We refer to those who
a little while ago, were against any
canal. 1t really looks as if there would
be no canal legislation at this session
of Congress.
