OPPONENTS OF Cuba
make STRONG Fight
Republicans to Hold Confer

THREATEN TARIFF REVISION
BabcOck Bill to Be Supported If
Reciprocity scheme Is Forced
May Cause Retreat on the Part of
Islands Friends.

Republicans of the House who oppose
the Republicans of the Ways and Means
Committee. expressed in their agreement
for 20 per cent reduction of duties on
Cuban products. threaten to go to ex-
tremes in the fight which is to be pre-
ciDitatcd.
They declare that if Cuban sugar is to
come in at reduced rate there should be
a general revision OF the Dingley tariff,
undertaking in which they will have
the cordial assistance Of the minority.
Conference Instead of Caucus.
The Ways and Means proposition for
reduction was TO be submitted 20 a Re-
publican caucus tonight, but the solid Re-
publican delegations from Michigan and
California and other Republicans from
beet growing States threatened to bolt.
1t was decided. therefore. to hold a con-
ference instead OF a caucus, the decision
OF which is not TO be binding
This conference will be attended by the
friends of the beet sugar growers, and
with the assistance of some others they
hope to be able to defeat the Ways and
Means project. If they do not, they prom
Use 10 carry their fight to the floor of the
House.
Threaten Tariff Revision.
They declare emphatically that they
will agree to no rule for the considera-
tion of a Cuban tariff reduction bill, and
that it must take its chances of amend
ment on the floor. They will open the
question Of tariff revision and cut right
and left into the very pets of protection.
To support BabcOck Dill.
This they will do with the assistance
Of the Democrats and the Republican tar
if revisionists of the Babcock stripe, it
being their purpose to assist Mr.. Babcock
in his plan 10 wipe out the tariff on the
trust-made manufactures of steel and
iron, the Babcock proposition to take its
place as not-to-be- unhorsed rider of the
Cuban tariff reduction bill
1t has been suggested that some OF the
Republicans of the Ways and Means Com
mittee are playing fast and loose in the
matter They are known at heart TO op-
pose any reduction OF Cuban duties They
are willing to report bill. at the Presi-
ueEt request, put IT'S utlehl VIII DTlHB
them no personal chagrin.
May Force Retreat.
If the beet sugar Republicans remain
firm they may yet force their opponents
to retreat.
President Rooseyclt's representatives in
the House could report to him tina: per
sistence in his purpose would inevitably
lead to tariff revision. Rather than let it
come to that he may advise the so-called
friends of Cuba 10 lay down their arms.

Let us say again tnat we are gr1eVed

Taking one consideration with
another an editors lot is not a happy
one" To paraphrase a popular song
from Gilbert and Sullivans Pirates
of Penzance," The Colored American
bowed in sorrow and with a soul at
tuned to regret, confesses it's inability
to please everyone. This candid ad-
mission presents nothing new. Many
have suspected that such was the case,
and hence the revelation comes not as
a surprise.
Nevertheless, we are grieved-deep-
ly grleved, for inadvertently, without
a suggestion of malice aforethought,
The COlored American has encounter
ed the wrath and indignation of so
great and good a man, citizen, and
friend, as the Hon. George H. White.
And why, forsooth!
Because, a contributor, styling him
self-through shrinking modesty, no
dOubt-"X. (. T." in last weeks issue
availed himself of the proud American
privilege of expressing an opinion rel
alive to the attitude OF Senator Jeter
{. Pritchard in the politics Of North
Carolina. Our friend Mr. White takes
umbrage thereat, and in eommuni
cation that might have been more eff
fectively used to answer the argu-
ments advanced, orders the discon-
unuance OF his newspaper. He was
thoughtful enough, however, to en-
close a check for amount OF subserip-
ton due-setting an example in this
regard which others might follow to
our infinite satisfaction.
Now, Mr.. white has been in public
life for a quarter OF a century, and
mas had a large and varied expert
ence. On the stump" in the primary,
al the bar, and in state and national
legislatures, he has given and taken
the hardest kind of knocks-without
losing his equilibrium. The ColOred
american has been proud of his COM
manding ability displayed upon divers
and Sundry occasions, when the race
needed its sturdiest champion to enter
.he hsts against a stubborn foe. We
nave not hesitated to accord him the
highest word of praise whenever the
opportunity offered, and if there exist
eu minor differences between us as to
method, the chasm was always bridg
eu and the gap closed in our sincere
9uIhlratlon for his manly courage and
intense earnestness in the cause of
justice.
Bearing all this in mind, we are as

Talladega was inferior in both weight

The grandest enconium ever pronounc B.
by white man upon a representative
the black race, and most eloquent becaus
it was simple and impressive, was tha
bestowed by Grover Cleveland las
night, when, in introducing Booker T.
| Washington to audience in Wither-
spoon Hall, he hailed him as the highest
| type of what Negro may become when
| he avails himself of all the opportunities
| possible within the limits of American
| citizenship.
These words of praise from a man
who had been signally honored upon two
| separate occasions by me people of a
great nation came, as it were, unbidden.
They were, to be more exact, series of
interrogations put to the audience, which
filled the hall, and which, composed as
largely of white as it was of Negro
members of the community, had been
called together to arouse enthusiasm for
the Bureau Institute.
The school, where the Negro youth of
the city are drilled in all the arts of
manual labor it was pointed out, formed
a positive means of saving the race in
this city, and it was to illustrate what
industrial education might do for the
Negro that the leader of the colored in
stitute in the South had been invited
from Tuskege to address the meeting.
Ex-President Cleveland had been intro
duced by Isaac H. Clothier, and it was
after he had delivered his opening ad-
dress, and one or two other speakers had
been heard, that he turned to where
Washington sat.
Cleveland's Beautiful Tribute.
The man whose learning and indomit-
able energy has raised him from the
.epths of slavery to be the leading figure
of his race little looked for the COM
pliment that was to be paid him. The
ex-President began in a low, almost duh
and monotonous tone, but he had not
uttered half a dozen words before the
audience became intensely still.
''If there are any here Tonight ne
began. who doubt that the Negro can
take advantage of an education, let MIN

who even dreamed that the Negro "ould
not develop all the characteristics OF q

Origin of Easter Rabbits.

There 10 curious and very sweet
little legend cherished by German
children concerning the Easter rab.
bit. Once upon q time, they tell
US, a nice, kind rabbit. who was
walking along a quiet woodland
road, came across fine, large nest,
filled with eggs. The poor mother
hen had been seized by a wicked
fox and could not 90 back to her
darling nest, so this kind rabbit
slept all night upon 1t, and when
he woke IN the morning tit was
Easter mornine) the nest was full
of downy, yellow chickens. The
chickens thought the rabbit was
their own mamma, so they cried
out for something tt. eat, and the
rabbit ran about and fetched food
Tor them, and kept them warm and
fed until they were all old enough
to take care of themselves. Ever
since then the rabbit has been the
special genius of Easter time, and
this holiday is not complete for
German little folk without an
"Oster Hare's nest.'' II holds
many a favor and present, serving
the same purpose that Christmas
stockings and wooden shoes do at
Christmas time.
