HAVING THINGS ITs OWN WAY.

The protectionists organs are saying
some pretty bitter things against the
sugar trust in connection with the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. They pre-
tend to think that the only beneficiary
of the treaty will be that trust. They
point out that the differential in favor
of refined sugar is retained in the
treaty: hence the Cubans can send
to our market only raw sugar in the
event of the approval of the treaty.
The sugar trust will be in position to
pay about what it pleases for the raw
material. OF course, the Cuban plant
er will get something out of our tar
iff concession, but if what these or
gans say is true the sugar trust will
get the greater part of the benefit.
And now it seems the sugar trust
is trying to get the Cuban govern
ment to amend it's immigration laws
so it can import coolies to work on it's
plantations. The story is that it owns
some of the very best of the Cuban
sugar estates, and if it could have it's
way about coolie labor it would be
in position to do a land office BUSH
ness under the reciprocity treaty. 1t
would produce sugar at much less than
it is now being produced with Cuban
labor, and being able to get it into
this country at a greatly reduced tar
if rate it would be able to make enor-
NOUS profits, since consumers would
have to pay just as much for sugar as
they do now Reciprocity with Cuba
will not help consumers in the least.
With the differential on refined sugar
the sugar trust will be the only bene-
flciary in this country, so far as sugar
is concerned.
The Democrats of the House have
offered an amendment to the bill APP
proving the treaty which provides for
the repeal of the differential on re-
fined sugar but they will not insist
upon ii to the extent of defeating the
treaty. They simply mean to put
| themselves on record in regard to the
differential. In the presidential cam
paign they will have a great deal to
say about the way the tariff is manip-
ulated for the benefit of trusts.

The fever situation at Laredo. TEX,
doesn't differ materially from that
which has existed in other years in
other cities of the South. There have.
been nearly 1000 cases and about 100
deaths, and it is probable that the dis
ease will gradually disappear now that
cooler weather has come.
When it was announced that there
was yellow fever at Laredo, 1t was ex-
pected that the steps that would be
taken for it's suppression would be of
such a character that there wouldn't be
an epidemic. 1t was said that our
yellow fever. experts had learned so
much about the disease in Cuba. and
had succeeded so well in driving it out
of Havana, that they would soon stamp
1t out at Laredo. AS far as we are able
to judge, however. the fever there
hasn't yielded in the least to the eff
forts of the Texas health officers and
the Marine Hospital Service officials.
Two Of the best doctors of the Marine
Hospital Service have been at Laredo
for weeks, and no doubt have done all
III liiClI DONGA ~ NlANNh lAlC NAoCeAs'St ~
it is doubtful if they are prepared to
say that they, have accomplished any,
thing.
We do not mean of course that they
haven't benefited patients they have
treated. We simply mean that the
methods they used to check the spread
of the fever We're ineffective.
The commission that experimental
with the fever at Havana, and made
long reports as to the methods by
which it was spread. attracted much
attention. 1t was said the mosquito
of the disease. and the thought was
thrown out that if the mosquitoes were
gotten rid of the disease would disap-
pear.
It is somewhat remarkable that moth
ing has been said in the dispatches
about mosquitoes at Laredo. 1t may
be there are no mosquitoes there. AS
far as that epidemic of yellow fever is
concerned there doesn't appear to have
been any effort as yet to explain why
it spread. 1t is known that it was
taken there from Mexico, and that it
spread slowly at first.
1t is an open question whether We
know any more about yellow fever
than was known before the extern
sively advertised experiments in Ha-
vana were made. Those experiments
were interesting, but were they valua-
BILE?
Hardly a day passes but that in the
newspapers in some part of the coun-
try something is said about the Won
derful way the government of the
United States freed Havana from yell
low fever. Did it rid that city of the
dread disease? OF course it enforced
certain sanitary regulations and there
hasn't been any fever of consequence
there since, but may we not have had
a series of years that were unfavora-
BILE for the development and spread of
The fever? If that view is correct we
may expect epidemics at Havana
again. 1t is to be hoped that 1t isn't
correct, and that the fever will never
appear there any more. but from the
experiences of the fever experts with
the disease at Laredo the conclusion
seems to be justified that we know as
little about the origin, spread and the
means for fighting the disease as we
did before our fever experts gave the
mosquito theory to the world.

This is the day on which, according
to a New York story published a week
ago, William Jennings Bryan was
scheduled to dine with Richard Croker
at Vantage, England. The story was
to the effect that Mr.. Croker wished
to see Mr.. Bryan to advise him with
respect to the coming campaign. Mr..
Croker thinks Mr.. Bryan ought to
keep in the background and permit the
factions of the party to get together.
But if the ex-boss of Tammany sug-
gests any such thing as self-elimina-
ton to Mr.. Bryan he will be apt to
hear something that will make his
ears burn.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania has
introduced a pension bill under the
terms of which Senator Quay would be
entitled to draw pension of SIS a
month. 1t was not, however, intro
duced for Senator Quay's especial ben
eft. Speaking of pensions, by the way.
the reports of the bureau for the past
four months show that the payments
have been 25 per cent. larger than
were those for the corresponding period
of last year. And the pension issue
last year was the largest for ten years.
That doesn't look much like high wa
ter had been reached and the ebb tide
had set in.

The dispensary establishment in
South Carolina is again hammering
Charleston. When things begin to get
dull in dispensary circles, Charleston
comes IN for a hammering by way of
enlivening matters. 1t seems that a
German subject whose place of busi-
ness was raided by dispensary deputies
brought suit against them in the
federal court for damages. The court
fixed the bail of the deputies at $1,000
each. Security for the appearance of
the deputies could not be had in
Charleston; nobody would go on their
bonds; in consequence of which, it
seems, the dispensary authorities have
determined to withhold from Charles
ton her proportion of the dis
pensary profits, on the ground that
Charleston is not doing her duty in
UNFOLDING the dispensary law. The
money withheld from the city and
county will be deposited in a bank as
security for the deputies.

The Planters Monthly for March
contains a valuable article by r. c. L.
Perkins upon the relations of birds to
insect life in Hawaii showing how
certain birds are valuable pest de-
stroyers; while others are destroyers of
harmless insects which in turn destroy
insects dangerous to plant life. 1t
should be read by every one interested
in agriculture in Hawaii. as intelligent
action on the lines suggested by Mr..
Perkins is vital to agriculture in this

Der S1st last. to issue stock to the
amount of 1920. PHI
AS matter of fact the Company has
not issued that amount, but has only
issued 81, O0O, 900 of stock.
ca The suggestion in the resolution
that the Company has expended a part
of its earnings in the extension of its
line is correct.
During 1901 the net income of the
Company over and above operating ex-
penses was s11.5sS.1s
During 1902 the net income of the
company over operating expenses was
$50. 1888.
Making a total net income TO De-
cember 81, 1902. of SOS, 1856.
This represents the total net profit
of the Company since its organization
in August. 1898.
The Company has as yet paid no divi-
dends. all of the said s6s.S1s.5s having
been expended in construction of the
lines of the Company.
This expenditure is authorized by
Section IL of said Act SO of the Laws of
1898 from which quote as follows:
.'Section IL. The following charges

list. The expense OF, ~ operating.
(2) repairs. (3) renewals, ~ extern

~ connected with the maintenance and
operation of said Railway
You will note that this Section specif-
ically allows the use of income for ex-
tensions of the Railway.
This answers all of the points raised
by the resolution.
There is one further point which I
beg to address you upon, however. as
understand statements have been
made to members of the Legislature
concerning it. This point is as fol-
lows:
1t is stated that by reason of the
stock having been increased from $780,

An absolute reply to this suggestion
is contained in Section 81 of the said
Act So of the Laws of 1898 which ex-
pressly fixes the amount of stock which
the company may issue and upon
which it may declare 8 per. cent. divi-
dends, to-wit. the cost of the road plus
% per cent. more. The Company can
issue stock up to such cost plus rs per
cent. in addition and declare dividends
of pei. cent. thereon and no more.
If it increases its. stock beyond such
amount it will be violating the terms
of its charter and render itself liable
to injunction or quo warranto proceed
ings by the Government.
The Company has not exceeded the
limit of stock issue permitted by its
franchise and has no intention of so
doing.

mittee any further information bearing
