ThnrI,ernr.s Mustnche.

In a note on Samuel Laurence's por-
trait of Thackeray-that representing
the novelist's face in full-the Illus
trated London News of Oct. ID, 1855,
says:
1T is not, we must confess, alto
gether true to his present appearance,
for it wants a recent and becoming
addition to the upper lip in the shape
of a black mustache that contrasts
most admirably with a head of silver
gray, but it is like the man and will
be welcome to his many admirers"
The reference here to the mustache
is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray, with one excep-
ton, represents him with a clean
shaver upper lip, the exception being
Maclise's pencil drawing of the famous
''Titmarsh," which, however, belongs
to a much earlier date-viz, about
1910 and in which there is just a
suspicion of q mustache. Presumably
the hirsute appendage of 1855 was
merely a passing fancy, which the ra-
zor speedily disposed of.-Notes. and

CUBAN RECIPROCITY THE NJ

The result of the deliberations of the
Fifty etghth congress, which was called
in extra session by President Roose-
welt to consider the matter of COM
merciaI reciprocity treaty with Cuba,
may be of vital importance to the little
republic which so recently set up in
business for itself.
1t is said that the utmost confidence
prevails in Cuba that the congress at
Washington will give early effect to
the treaty. 1t is thought there that
the arguments for reciprocity are I'M
answerabIe. The need of Cuba for
more revenue has caused a proposition
to increase some of its customs duties,
notably upon rice, which now pays 50
cents on 100 pounds.
OF Cuban exports so per cent now
90 to the United States. This proper
ton cannot be increased because Eu-
ropean countries will continue to buy
Cuban tobacco, which constitutes near
ly all of the remaining 20 per cent of
the exports from the island. But of
Cuban imports the United States now
contributes only about 40 per cent, 60
per cent being brought from across the
Atlantic. To illustrate, last year Cuba
imported 169,000,000 pounds of rice, of
which the United States sent exactly
7,042 pounds.
1t is plain, argue the Cubans, that
the nearness of the two countries and
the consequent low freight rates should
enable successful American comped-
ton in Cuba in manufactured goods as
well as In rice and other agricultural
products, but in the first quarter of
1908 the imports from the United
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-11-07

sent to the United States $4,000 bags
of sugar In American bottoms and
2,000,995 bags in foreign bottoms. OF
all the Cuban shipments to the United
States only 8 per cent are carried in
American vessels, while 81 per cent are
carried in foreign ships, mainly Eng
lish and Norwegian. 1t is suggested
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty be
amended so that its benefits shall APP
ply only to goods carried in American
ships.
President Roosevelt in his message
to congress of March Z, 1902, said that
the commercial and political condition
of Cuba should be strengthened and
al pacts with the Cubans and by wise
and beneficent legislation aiming to
stimulate the commerce between the
countries. Again on June 13, 1902, he
sent a special message to congress, in
response to an appeal from President
Palma. Mr.. Roosevelt considered that
the Cuban question stood alone and did
not raise the question of tariff revision;
NOR would any American industry be
injured, but many would benefit, and
the growing Cuban market should be
controlled by American producers
Tomas Estrada Palma, president of
Cuba, more than any other living man
has been identified with the aspirations
of Cuba and its struggles for independ-
ence. Born at Bayamo. Cuba, in 1886,
and educated at the University of Sc
vile, Spain, he took the field in 1868.
