the interest being stimulated by the per-

from dementia caused by their abnormal
physical strain and the use OF stimulants to
urge them on their weary grind. Stories OF

The Case Of Cuba.

Mr.. Mitchell Of Oregon, In his speech in
the Senate on Thursday said:
THAT we have as a nation given a pledge
that a stable government shall be eStab-
lished and maintained in Cuba is conceded.
This must be done. and this is being done.
But this pledge does not, / submit, impose
on us a duty to make trade concessions to
the planters and producers of Cuba which
will initiate materially against the plant
crS, agriculturists and producers of our own
country. Such concession is not an obil-
CATION resting upon us. either expressly or
by implication. OF course if a reciprocity
arrangement can be made with Cuba which
Will be to the advantage of our people, or
which will not seriously affect adversely
any American interest or American labor.
and which may be of benefit to Cuban
interests, then by all means let us have 1t. :
If the terms proposed in the case Of
trade with Cuba comprehended injury to
any American industry they would not bear
discussion. But they do not Their strength
is found in the fact that we can grant.
without the least injury to ourselves, all
that Cuba needs In the way of trade con-
cessions in order to go forward on the path
way OF progress. A reasonable cut on
Cuban sugar would not diminish the out
rut of either our beet or our cane fields.
while Mr.. Platt Of Connecticut, represent
ing that portion of the American tobacco
belt most interested in the subject, has no
objection to a cut on Cuban tobacco. Why
then should we hesitate in the premises?
Why not promptly do the thing which is
at orce consistent with our promises and
our interests?
Our relations with Cuba are so peculiar
it has been a comparatively easy matter
for those opposed to our doing anything
for the island to confuse the subject. She
has been represented mendicant, and
we have been warned not to take her in and
crowd our own from the comforts Of the
freside. AS a matter of fact she is pre-
clsely what we have made her. We have
practically forced her to turn to us for
the concessions she now asks. But once
they are granted we enable her to make
handsome returns. She is destined to be
under a good and stable government almost
the richest patch Of ground for her size in
the world. Her trade is certain to be most
desirable and to increase very rapidly, and
we should enjoy practically a monopoly of
it. We have but to treat her now with
the consideration that is her due to bring
her into the closest. the most lasting, and
the most profitable business relations with
ourselves.
The subject is not fully and properly
considered therefore unless we look on the
business as well as on the sentimental side.
Cuba does not present herself at our door
as a mendicant. She has claims upon our
generosity, and II they are allowed she
will be able fully to requite all that we may
do for her. She is talking business in
strictly business key. and we should har-
ken unto her. Give her fair start, and
then If her venture at independent govern
inent fails we shall have nothing with which
to reproach ourselves.

There Is but one course relative to the

stop 1t just as other brutal and repulsive
sports have been stopped. We have done

bear batting and contests of dogs and game

and bloody as the sport that Is permitted
within sight of Christian settlements, where
hundreds and thousands of innocent crea-
lures, that have practically no chance for
their lives. are riddled and torn with shot
to entertain beings who wear the guise of
men. There Is absolutely not one word to
be said for these hunters. The skill they
wish to exhibit can as easily be exercised
on clay disks thrown into the air from

Stamp Tax on Posters.
From the New York Herald.

A stamp tax on posters, such as is pro-
posed In the bill of Assemblyman Landon,
is a novelty hereabouts, but has been long
established in European countries. The
measure originates with the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Society,
and its prime object Is to restrict the use
OF disfiguring and offensive posters in pub
lie places rather than the raising OF rev.
enue, although 1t would yield no inconsiG-
cradle sum. 1t is In line with the action
just taken by the Municipal Art Society in
requesting Controller Grout to see that
power is reserved to keep the Brooklyn SUBJ
way. its entrances, stations and cars free
from posters and advertisements. At the
public art congress held in Paris during
the recent exposition a great stimulus was
given to the organization Of societies for
the protection Of natural landscapes and
the architecture OF cities against glaring
and offensive advertisements
