enactment OF reciprocity with Cuba Just look
at the record. President Mckinley urged the
policy with almost his last breath President
Roosevelt has repeatedly urged ii as demanded
by national honor and national interest. The
people Of the United States have made it plain
that they desire it by an overwhelming ma
iority. The Senate at the last session strongly
approved il. The President called special ses-
sion of Congress this fall for the express pur-
pose Of completing the work. In this special
session the House of Representatives has ap-
proved the reciprocity measure by a vote of
$50 to o. 1t is well known that a great ma
ioritv of the Senate is in favor of it. If it were
nut to vote to-day probably not more than half
n dozen votes would be recorded against It.
Yet for some inscrutable reason it is proposed
10 LET the special session end without the action
for which il was summoned, and TO let this
highly important measure so over until the next
regular session of Congress.
Let it be granted that it viii then be enacted.
We suppose ii viii be, since Ii now has the
right of way over all other legislation. Still,
there seems to be no satisfactory reason for
such delay. The strongest opponents Of the
measure admit that ii is bound to pass. Those
who propose this delay deny that they have any
hope of defeating it or of doing more than TO
postpone the vote for a fortnight or so. But
why should there be even so much postpone
ment? What good purpose is to be served by
it? We can see none. We have heard of none
There is time now. before Thanksgiving Day,
for the oratory Of those few Senators who want
to square themselves with their constituents

special session was called for the purpose of
disposing Of the measure, and it ought TO fulfil
that purpose. There will be enough other bust
ness for the regular session TO transact without

The Lebaudy brothers airshp cane to tenn
porary grief yesterday near Paris just as 1t was
ending a flight which until then had been pros
porous, though less remarkable than that in
which it recently made a doubtful record of
thirty miles an hour. When he was asked what
would happen in case a cow got in the way of
his steam locomotive, George Stephenson replied
that sit would be bad for the co., and ex-
perience has in the main borne out his predic-
ton. The French airship encountered tree
yesterday, but 1t was not the tree that suffered.
On the contrary, a great rent was made in the
balloon attachment, and the framework was
left ingloriously suspended amid the branches,
while the occupants Of the car dropped not too
gently to the earth beneath.
If a course for airships should ever be laid
out between padded walls and over shallow
canal it might be pleasant diversion, even for
timid denizens of this terrestrial globe, TO make
a voyage through the air. But so long as an in
opportune puff of wind is capable of leading to
disaster, a stout heart and good pay will remain
important factors in aerial navigation 1t may
be remarked incidentally that this appears to
be the feeling of the Lebaudy brothers, who
were anxiously but safely awaiting news or
their craft when their professional engineer and
aeronaut smote the ground.

over there can be no question.
Upon this achievement, the contamination OF
which is now within measurable distance, all
concerned are TO be heartily congratulated. Inc
story of Panama hitherto has been discredlta-
BILE one. 1t has been marked with shutting anu

ton and with brazen attempts at extortion. All
these things have been swept away by revolu-

slate IS cleared Now the two countries direct

practical basis. and we are inclined TO think the
work will be done, and promptly and satisfac-

STEEL FREJGBT DISCRIMINATION.

It cannot be denied that the highly protected
steel manufacturers make an unpleasant i'm
preston on the public mind when they stead
lily and of fixed policy sell their goods abroad at
a much lower price than they will give at
home to the American consumer. There are
some valid arguments for such sales, at least
when they are incidental and exceptional y
bargain counter" when it will not interfere
with general business, is legitimate. The man.
Ufacturers must get q certain price for the
bulk of their product If at times they have a
surplus which cannot be disposed of at regu-
lar rates, they naturally seek to get what they
can for it where it will not hurt their regular
trade. The American consumer may think that
he is entitled to the benefit Of some of these
bargain sales but stability is nevertheless de-
srable Even he would suffer in the long run
by great fluctuations and attempts to work off
surplus stock at cut rates But when the ex-
port business grows to enormous proportions
and manufacturers find Il profitable to manu-
facture for sale abroad vast quantities of steel
the year around at cut rates, then the Amerl-
can consumer has a right to complain of the
Discrimination. When that discrimination is
carried further by a combination between the
manufacturers and the railroads his dssatis-
faction tends to become just Indignation.
The legality of Thursdays action of the
Trunk Line and Central Traffic Association
is likely TO be tested. 1t made a cut of 30 Is
per cent in the freight rates on all domestic
steel products shipped for export. 1t may
be legal, but it is certainly wrong. The rail
roads are common carriers, chartered under
American law TO serve the American people
The private manufacturer may discriminate
against his own countrymen if he wants 10.
He only raises n question about the wisdom of
tariff rates that enable him to do 50. But the
railroads have a public duty If they can af-
ford to carry steel at certain rate the con-
sumner in New-York is as much entitled to the
benefit as the consumer in London. 1t is said
that the cut rate will be more than compensated
