THOSE MAGISTRATES, BILLS.

We have but one or two comments
on this muddle over the cutting down
of the magistrates and constables bills,
and the whole matter is in such in
definite shape that extended comment
might do somebody an injustice. we
printed Auditor Kelly's report, ana
yesterday an extended defense by Mag
strate Hollis was given in our columns

lction these two statements must
speak for themselves.
We think it would be extremely un-
fortunate. however, should the matter
ae allowed to rest where 1t Is. The
bills Of these officers Of the minor

cunAN RecIPRoclrY Ar LAsr.

The reciprocity agreement with Cuba
il now operative, the Senate having
passed the measure yesterday. It is
interesting to note that as the third
name on the list was called Della
ware senator voted for the bill. and
ehls was repeated when the eighth
name was called Thus the voice Of
our state was registered for Cuban
reciprocity For two years we have
been haggling over a measure which
means so much. not only to Cuba but
10 ourselves. The opposition has man
aged TO stave 1t of, but its passage in
time was inevitable.
The only possible objection that we
an urge against the measure is that
ITS terms are not more liberal. The
conditions are such that the freest
trade relations should be established.
Cuha's products are Of such a nature
that an exchange with us must prove
mutually beneficial Europe is now
applying her with large quantities Of
merchandise that should come from
our markets. and though the new treaty
win divert part Of this, It win not
accomplish what more liberal ar
'angement would have done.
Cuban exports consist largely in
tobacco ana sugar, and while we pro-
duce both articles. yet this trade should
be welcomed. Her tobacco IS Of
grade impossible to produce in this
country and is such that VIII pe de-
manded. with or without reciprocity.
Then our sugar consumption is so vast,
affecting our whole people and entering
SO materially into the expense Of every
household that it is necessary for us
to keep open the channels Of natural
supply. The protection Of the beet
sugar interests fades into insignihoance
when we place the production OF that
article along side OF our annual con-
sumption
TTur -Cubu has great possibilities an1
under the tranquility which IS now as
aured, and the enterprise which is in
viled from our own people, she viii
develop her products, not only IN ex-
tent but variety. There is a vast COM
lnerce possible for the future. and the
United States may practically control
it. The only thing required Of us is
TO make proper trade concessions. The
most natural reciprocity in the world
is that which Is established between
the tropics and the temperate regions
IT recognizes that each needs the pro-
ducts Of the other. and our proximity
TO Cuba and our practical suzerainty
emphasize the importance Of close
trade relations.

But Says He Believes Teller

Denver, Colo. Jan. 9.-The legislature
completed its organization today and the
house committee on elections and priv
ileges will at once proceed to hear the
evidence in the numerous contests. upon
the result OF which hangs the election Of
United States senator. The Republicans
opposed to the candidacy Of former
Senator Edward Q. Wolcott. who were
enabled to organize the house by the
aid Of the Democrats, have guaranteed
that all contests shall be tried on their
merits and no member be arbitrarily ex-
PEELED without a fair trial. This is the
full extent, it is asserted by both the
anti olcott Republicans and the Dem
ocrats. of the agreement between them.
| Mr.. WolcOtt has announced that he will
stay in the contest for the senatorship
to the end, but he has expressed the be-
lief that the deal between his Repub-

TeIIer's friends proposed to purchase
the Robert E Lee mine at Leadville.
They were able to buy it for 500, 900.
On Christmas morning they called
around to see Mr.. Teller, told him
what they proposed to do and urged
him to take a one-third interest in the
property.
but I haven't the money" protested
Mr.. Teller
TT makes no difference he was told.
You can give your notes, and before
they come due Wen take from the mine
more gold than viii be necessary to
pay them,
But suppose we don't realize our
expectations % suggested the senator,
with caution.
Then we will put up the money to
meet the notes. and you need not trou-

Senator Teller was assured that mis-
friends knew exactly what they had in
hand. but he didn't go in He thought
as he had not the money to put into the
he-reward. # there was to be one. He
was issued that they wanted him IN the
deal, but no persuasion could get him

FIXED AT 20 YEARS.
Age Limit for Retirement of College
Professors at Cornell.

Chicago. Jan. 9--The ICE limit at
which college professors should be re-
tired from active class and department
work was fixed at 20 years last night
by President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell university at the annual ban
quet of the Cornell Alumni association
OF Chicago held at T(insley's. The su-
perannuatiOn of professors had worked
we'll at the Ithacan institution, he said.
The delicate question of getting rid
of professors after they have become
burdened with years" he said. has
been solved at Cornell, where after 20
years they are made professors emer-
titus The Welding together of the facul-
ty members that has followed this plan
is worth far more than the money taken
from the college funds to take care of
