ENEW WSPAPER OPINION

Hopeful Symptoms in the Senate
From tho New York Tribune.
There are signs of good cheer in
the senate. A rational Republican
bill for reciprocity with Cuba is to be
prepared and adopted by that body.
Such is the assurance that comes to
hand as expressed in our special
Washington dispatches OF yesterday.
The thing of shreds and patches"
which the House of Representatives
adopted last week seems likely to be
practically ignored To amend it into
decent shape would be almost entirely
to recreate IL. 1t would be far easier
land safer to draw up an entirely new
measure. in accord with the dictates
Of interest and honor II the Senate
will do that it will have the over
lwhelming support of the American
people. who are tired of the delay and
trimming and petty intrigues which
have marked the action of the House
upon the matter
One feature of the Senate's bill is
likely to be the omission of the pre-
scriptions concerning Cubas domestic
economy which the House bill CON
tains. That will be commendable. If
we are going to negotiate a treaty with
Cuba It must be with Cuba as a SOW
ereign State We must act toward her
as we would toward any other nation.
In making commercial treaties with
European lands we do not attempt to
dictate labor legislation to them. We
mn a.
because of Germany's export bounties,
but we do not insist that German
workmen in sugar factories shall get
such or such wages, or work not more
than so many hours a day. We have
no business thus to meddle with the
domestic concerns of other States. We
shall do well not to attempt such med
ding with Cuba beyond the limits set
down in the Platt amendment to the
lCaban Constitution.
It is also intimated that the Senate
may do what The Tribune suggested on
Monday as among the possibilities.
It may take the House at its word and
vote to abolish the differontial duty on
refined sugar. AS The Tribune has
argued, that is a matter to be deter
mined upon the simple basis of indus
Itrial and fiscal need. If the United
Staes Treasury can get along without
that revenue. and If the sugar refining
industry in the United States no longer
needs that protection, why by all
means let us have the dfferential
abolished Nobody wants that or any
other tariff just for the sake of a tariff
Duties are levied for either revenue
or protection, or both. If any particu
lar duty is not needed for either OF
these purposes it has no reason for ex-
lietence.

HoNoRlNG REoUIsITIoNs

What promises to be an interesting
case may grow out of the request of
the New Jersey authorities for the
surrender of a young Dover man,
charged with embezzlement of a sum
of money while an employe of an At
lantic City hotel. Yesterday he was
discharged by a local magistrate be-
cause the New Jersey detectives pre-
scented only requisitlon papers. 1t is
said that should he be further prose-
cuted he will resist the requisition on
the ground that a condition of comfy
does not exist between the two States,
the Governor of New Jersey having
refused to honor certain of Governor
.Hunn's acquisitions
This may lead 10 serious complica-
tions. and should II be decided that no
reduisitions from one of these States
will be honored by the other, criminals
will be assured a safe refuge. Under
this state of things every burglar,
thug or murderer would be safe if he
once crossed the border With the
record that we are making for muir
derous assaults we should do all in
our power to prevent the criminals
finding retreat. We hope that 1t
will occur to the Governor that the
wisest and most dignihed way is to
honor the Jersey requisitions; in her
courts men may have a fair trial and
secure justice, and we have no desir,
to shield law-breakers by a technical
ity. II New Jersey sees fit TO refuse
the ordinary courtesy between States
we shall not do ourselves credit by
following her example.

because it is true Every day there
come into a newspaper Office scandals
that would affect the happiness Of
someone, or rumors that would inter
fere with the business Of others.
There are many persons who deem
it a sign of superiority to battle or in
suit reporter in the discharge of his
duty Of searching for news. Frequent
ly they refuse him information, but
are alert to the slightest error in his
story II he desires the information
of a wedding or a reception the door
is shut in his face when the paper is
blamed II it doesn't have the news. A
reporter is a normal human being
who sees much OF the seamy side Of
life. and who, therefore, has become
sensitive Of the feelings Of others. His
profession may necessitate the print
ing of news that will cause pain, but
it is done with regret. He knows in
fnitely more than he thinks fit to tell.
He respects all condolences, and under
normal conditions he is the safest
person imaginable in whom TO confde.
And when he really wants a story it
takes something more than an amateur
to blum him. The learned addresses
of public men which we read and adj
mire, are in great part his work. The
little grammatical errors he CLOSES
over. and any other break is covered.
None but a boor treats him with dis
courtesy.

FIRST REGIMENT WILL CAMP
Governor Hum lSsufd Orders to That EI
iect-MemberS Are Delighted

1t has been decided that the members
Of the-l'irst Delaware Regiment shall go
into camp this summer. The fact will
greatly please the men who have been
hoping to see this brought about 1t is
partly due to the appeals of the enlisted
men that the order was given. At a

We're issued
General Orders NJ. 5:
1. In accordance with the provisions Of
Section p, Of Chapter 1872, Volume XIX,
Par. IL, of the Laws of Delaware, the
First Infantry will be ordered into camp
during the year 1902, for field practice.
Owing to a lack Of funds the enlisted
strength in each company will be limited
to fifty. In order that all Of the men
may have had some instruction Of the
school of the soldier beforehand, no man
enlisted after June 80, 1902, will be per-
mitted to participate in this tour Of
duty. Further details will be announced
in orders later.
p The attention OF company command
ers is invited to Section 9, Of the Militia
law, also to paragraphs 81 and 80, of the
Regulations, which, in the future, will be
strictly complied with; and no man will
be enlisted who has been previously dis
charged for non-attendance to duty or
any other delinquency whatever; it is the
duty Of the mastering officer TO ascertain
these facts before The muster is complete.
BY order Of John Hum,
Governor and Commander-in-C Chief
/. =. Wickersham,
Adjutant-Genera
The regiment win be fully equipped.
4 place for the camp and the time have
not been decided on yet. The lack Of
funds will limit the number of enlisted
men in each company to fifty and the
stay in camp to five or six days.
Officers Of the regiment are enthusias-
tic over the idea Of going into camp and
they think it will assist in building up
the guard. Strict discipline will be
maintained. The officers give General
Wickersham the credit Of getting the
camp.

There are seventy thousand veterans
of Cuba's war for liberty who demand
payment for their services in encom-
passing the defeat and withdrawal Of
the Spanish troops. To meet this de-
mand is the first problem that the
new government will have to consider
Should the island be put up at public
sale it is doubtful whether enough
could be raised to meet the demand.
or course everyone will understand
that while Cuba had brave soldiers,
yet at no time did the number of real
lighters equal one-half the number OF
these claimants. When the United
States took hold of the matter, Cuban
resistance had almost come to an end.
What was that army of 10000 doing?
Presumably a great number were rest
ing in the mountains till the United
States should compel a peace, and en-
able them to come forward with their
claims for back pay for serving their
country. If the Cuban people shall
be wise and honest enough to wipe of
the slate. all may be we'll; if, however
they demand the liquidation Of these
claims. Cuba will start out under a bur
den that must soon crush her. Sew
