Reciprocity and Free Trade.

Congress convened in extra session on Mon
day last and on Tuesday President Roosevelt
sent in a message urging the passage OF
the reciprocity treaty with Cuba. The treaty
was passed by the Senate last March, but as it
related to revenue it became necessary to have
action by the House OF Representatives upon
it,
The treaty provides for a reduction of twen-
ty per cent. in the tariff upon imports from
Cuba and Cuba grants reductions of tax upon
imports from the United States.
The President says that the ratification OF
the treaty will benefit The people of the United
States and the people of Cuba.
'This reciprocity treaty stands by itself,
he says 1T is demanded on considerations
of broad national policy, as well as by our
economic interest. 1t will do harm to no in
dustry. 1t will benefit many industries. 1t
is in the interest of our people as whole,
both because of its importance from the broad
standpoint of international policy and because
economically it intimately concerns lis TO de-
velop and secure the rich Cuban market for
our ldTuIeIS, aiilaiuoi HiSi Nheti'S anu "'i"
facturers.'
Reciprocity that provides for reduction of
tariff taxes simply reduces restrictions upon
trade 1t provides for freer trade, and carried
to its logical conclusion ends in free trade. 1t
is an approach to policy of a tariff for reve
nue., the Democratic policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt says the ratification of the
treaty will be beneficial to the people of both
countries Then, if tariff reductions upon
trade between Cuba and the United States
would be beneficial, a similar treaty between
the United States and Great Britain would be
beneficial also. In fact would, upon the
Presidents own contention, build up the in
dustries of both countries, and find wider
market for our farmers, artisans, merchants
and manufacturers
The Protective Tariff League is opposing
the ratification of the treaty, and the believers
in the policy of tariff for protection will
oppose the treaty. The treaty will no doubt
be passed, but the debate upon it will likely
open up general tariff discussion. And Mr..
Roosevelt will be placed in an awkward posi-
ton with the controlling element of his party
in the next campaign. He will be unable
consistently to advocate the policy Of protec
ton, the cornerstone of Republicanism, nor
will he dare advocate tariff reductions-tree

Anxious for Hanna to Lead.

President Roosevelt is urging Senator Han
ma TO continue as chairman of the Republican
National Committee, thus assuming that he
will be renominated to succeed himself. And
the assumption is not without foundation,
either. Hanna, who could easily win the
nomination, if he desired it, has positively
declined to be candidate. Other distin-
guished Republicans are disinclined to enter
the race, for no matter who is nominated the
Roosevelt Administration will be on trial, and
the corruption already revealed and what is
expected to be shown, will be heavy load for
the Republican Presidential ticket to carry.
Besides, the elections this year show grow
ing Democratic sentiment. The Democrats
more than held their own i'll Massachusetts;
carried Rhode Island for the second consecu-
tive time; overwhelmingly defeated Repub-
lican and Mugwump combine in Greater New
York; increased the Democratic majority in
Kentucky, which slipped into the Republican
column few years ago, and reduced the Re-
publican majority more than twenty thousand
in Iowa.
This was Dem ocratic year, and the out
look is for another Democratic year in 1904
For this reason, perhaps, Hanna does not care
to lead another Republican national cam
paign. Roosevelt, we believe, will be the
Republican nominee. The older leaders of
the party do not look upon him with favor.
He is too impetuous, too uncertain, too self
wiled, and the party will go into the campaign
with feelings of uncertainty.
If the Democrats nominate for President
safe and conservative man, many leading Re-
publcans will be satisfied to let him win. as
that party will still continue to hold the SEN
ate and be in position to check any legislation
that it chooses.

The Reform League.

The Baltimore Sun had an editorial on the
Reform League of Baltimore, drawing very
accurate picture of that mutual admiration
society of purists. 1t was an admirable arti-
Gle, but should have appeared in the Sun two
weeks before the election. The Sun desig-
mated the League as political old maids,
who know as much about managing public
affairs as old maids do about bringing up ba-
bies.i The League processes partisan
ship, but only scods Democrats and Demo
cratic policies 1t processes to be purity it,
self, but is always allied to the Black and Tan
party of McComas, Watty, Stone, Cummings,
Mudd, Day. Ching and other angels in politi-
cal methods.

Although badly defeated and routed in
Maryland, his chosen battle, field on the issue
of soci Il and political equality for the negro
race, President Roosevelt has chosen to con-
tinue the negro question and has reuominated
William D. Crum, the negro Collector of the
Port of Charleston, South Carolina. The
Senate Committee on Commerce last winter
rejected Crum' S nomination, and The President
is in danger of trying the patience of the Sen
ate in forcing Crum's name on them again.

No. 1904 Equity.

NO. 4O94 Equity.
In the Circuit Court for Carroll County, Md.
Minnie Estele Rabold, Plaintiff vs. Thomas
F. Rabold, Defendant.
The object of this suit is to procure decree
of divorce a vinculo matrimonii from the de-
PENDANT, Thomas F. Rabold by the plaintiff,
Minnie Estele Rabold.
The bill states that on the 3rd day of No
vember, 1887, that the plaintiff was married
to the defendant in the town of New Windsor,
Carroll county, Nd, by a minister of the Cos
pei of Lutheran denomination and that after
said marriage the plaintiff and defendant lived
together as man and wife in the city of Cum
berland, Maryland, until the first day of jan
uarv. 1897. That defendant became bank
rupt and the plaintiff was compelled by reason
of his refusal to support her and by his con-
duct to return to her fathers house on the list
day of January, 1897, where she is now re-
siding and has been since January !, 1897,
depending entirely upon her fathers bounty
for the means of existence and support. That
though the conduct of the plaintiff towards
the defendant has always been kind, affec
tionate and above reproach said defendant
has without any Just cause or reason aban-
doned and deserted her, and that such aban-
donment has continued uuinterruptedly for
seven years and is deliberate and final, and
the separation of the defendant and plaintiff
is beyond any reasonable expectation of re-
Cancellation.
That plaintiff and defendant have had no
children born to them from said marriage.
That the defendant, Thomas F. Rabold, is
a non resident of the State of Maryland, and
is living in the State of Pennsylvania.
1t is thereupon, this 9th day Of November.
1903 ordered by the Circuit Court for Carroll
county, in Equity, that the plaintiff, by caus-
ing copy of this order to be inserted in some
newspaper, published in said Carroll county,

the said absent defendant Of the object and
substance of this bill, warning him to appear
in this Court in person or by solicitor, on or
before the oath day of December next, to
show cause, if any he have, why decree ought
not to be passed as prayed.

CITIZENS UNION DROP
CIRCUIT AND F0RNES.
Will Meet Wednesday and Make
New Ticket.

New York, Oct. 2.-The City Com
mittee of the Citizens Union met to-
night and discussed at great length the
complex situation that confronted the
union as the result of the endorsement
by Tammany Han of Grout and Fornes.
The session was very protracted one,
and the position of Grout and Fornes
met with strong condemnation on the
part of members of the committee, it
being the concensus of opinion that
they should be dropped from the ticket
and that other Democrats of the indie
pendent type should be selected to fill
their places.
That this could be done legally there
seemed to be no doubt. 1t was finally
decided that the Citizens Union Con-
vention should be reconvened on next
Wednesday night, and that a new ticket
should be placed in nomination, with
Mayor Low at the head, but Messrs.
Grout and Fornes eliminated, and in
their places two new men selected.
An address was prepared and directed
to Messrs. Grout and Fornes, express
ing the complete dissatisfaction of the
Citizens Union with the course pursued
by them in accepting Tammany in-
dorsement, and declaring that in view
of the position assumed by them that
they should eliminate themselves from
the fusion ticket.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 2.-There are

terms of the deal for the sale of a large
block of the Seaboard Air Line stock
TO interests identified with the Rock Is
land system, and the publication of the
details for the first time will, therefore,
be read with more than ordinary in

board Air Line; H. Clay Pierce, chair
man of the board of directors of the

shares. For the common the syndicate
agrees to pay 500 a share and for the
preferred $S5. The syndicate has exer-
cised the option on 10000 shares, leav-
ing 81, 900 shares still to be taken. This
option is in effect.
When the entire $4,000 shares are
acquired the syndicate will own % per
cent. of the outstanding stock 1t is
not believed that the new interests will
be satisfied with anything less than a
majority of the shares, and that it was
their idea when the deal was made,
and is still their intention, to buy suf-
ficient stock in the open market to give
them control, and then sell the proper
ty to the Rock Island system.
AS the option has nearly year to
run, the syndicate decided that in view
of the disturbed condition of things in
Wall street it was better to defer TAX
ing over the full amount of stock un-
til the financial situation improves. Will

witnesses were examined to-day in the
trial of Ernest Haywood for the muir

Haywood standing on the sidewalk
near the south end of the postoffice
with his smoking pistol levelled at
Skipner, who was moving rapidly
across the street.
AS he came near to the center of 1t

The last two witnesses of the day
were Messrs. Saul and Woods, who
testified that they saw Ernest Hay
wood and Ludlow Skinner standing
talking peacefully at the foot Of the
south postoffice steps. Then Skinner
turned, and as he was leaving the side
walk Haywood shot once and the Sec
ond shot came as described by the
other witnesses.

witnesses.

session and interest increases as the
case proceeds.
