The Cuban Loan and tho Plat
Amendment.

Tho Cuban loan goes begging, and
nnanciers show no disposition to handle
II on the terms proposed by the Cuban
Congress. That this would be its fate
vas quite plain to all careful observers
and should have been equally 80 to those
who drew the bill. The basis of the
security offered is unstable, il not I'M
constitutional. The Cuban officials ap-
pear to have awakened to this fact, and
II 10 admitted that change must DO
made ID the provisions of the bill.
It Is quite time that the matter should
find adjustment and determination. De-
ferred hope on the part of those who
expect direct benefit from the distri-
button Of the proceeds Of the loan has
resulted in no small degree Of discon-
tent and dsaffection. The imposition of
taxes to provide for the loan, unattended
by the financial relief which the loan, il
placed, would afford, has led to COM
plant and protest. Under the pressure
which has been brought to bear Presi-
dent PALMA has issued decree modify
ing the conditions of the tax bill.
It Is officially stated that, because of
the insistence of possible lenders, the
Government will recommend that the
customs receipts be given as the primary
doubtful if this is possible. Article ii.
OF the Platt Amendment declares that
Cuba shall contract no public debt
which cannot be duly provided for out
OF Athe ordinary revenues of the island
Of Cuba, after defraying the current
expenses Of the Government.
The customs revenues now constitute
nearly 95 per cent. of the total income
Of the island and stand as the only fully
A1suI Cd basis for the payment of cur
rent expenses" 1t is difficult to see just
how this source of revenue can be def
nitely hypothecated as a security for
the loan without an infraction of the
provisions of that article.
The Cuban Congress assemblies for it's
fall session on Nov 2. Its first and most
important business should be the con-
sideration Of the loan question. 1t is
useless to say that the money is unob-
tainable because OF the condition of
the money market. Money is available
. for loans upon such security az Cuba
can give, and it is by no means certain
that the pledge of her customs revenues
is imperative or even necessary. 1t is
very much to Cuba's interest that the
loan be made, and the island is amply
able to carry the proposed amount. But
the Cubans must dsabuse their minds
Of any idea they may have that fnan-
ciers will fight each other to take up
that loan upon the basis Of an uncer-
tain security. Their experience thus far
should have made that evident.
The people of Cuba look to their Gov
eminent to effect the loan, and it is for
their Congress to provide basis which
will be considered in the money market.

The Angler and the suck ers :"

Everybody knows that the Hon. Tom
JOHNSON got rich by means of franchises,
and is now hot to have franchises taxed
that are owned by other persons. The
exact means by which he acquired his
own franchises was disclosed by him,
with his habitual frankness, in speech
made at Tiffin, Ohio, Sept. 81, 1902:
=" will tell you how made my money. made
II through franchises. ! never got franchise Of
my own in my life. went around buying them
from suckers who had gotten them from the PEG.

That is the way got my money"
The unearned increment OF some of
these franchises is calculated by the

The steamship OF the Future.
From Cdssicr's Magazine.

Taking the steamship Umbra built in
1884, as good example of the best practice
Of that time, and the Kaiser Wilhelm IL. as
the highest type ofto-day, we find there has
been an increase OF about 1913 feet year in
length and .is4 knot an hour in speed This
rate of increase, while il will not keep I'D
indefinitely will be maintained for certain
length OF time. All developments have
progressed with great bounds for a few years
and then have settled down TO practical
basis This settling down period has not
yet arrived in the steamship world, as the
ever increasing size and speed OF ships will
show. Referring again to the Umbria and
the Kaiser Wilhelm H.. this table is of in

THE HOUSE AND THE CUBAN TREATY
No Action To Be Taken in Advance of Rati-
fcation by the Senate.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Washington. Feb. 25.-There viii be no action
bv the House of Representatives in passing
Judgment in the form Of resolutions on the
Cuban reciprocity treaty in advance of the ratl-
tication of that convention by the Senate. This
decision was reached by the House leaders to-
day after the question had been thoroughly
canvassed No ass france has been given to the
House from any quarter that the Senate Will
ever take action on the Cuban convention. The
House leaders call TO mind vividly the fact that
a reciprocity bill passed through the lower
body and sent to the Senate, where it was ig-
nored With this in mind, there is no disposi-
tion to take further action until called upon TO
give acquiescence 20 the treaty, should that
document be brought TO the attention of the
House.
Senate before adjournment, the paTt of the
House in its ratification is problematical If the
President should call extra session of the
Senate to take action on it, and this action
should be taken the treaty would undoubtedly
be put into immediate effect. In this case, the
prediction is made by House leaders that the
validity Of the treaty would be called into ques-
tion and brought into court A case OF this kind
would undoubtedly reach the Supreme Court OF
the United States where the long pending ques-
ton of jurisdiction over treaties which affect
the revenues would at last be settled The
House believes that under the constitutional
provision that all revenue measures shall or1g1-
nate in the lower: branch of Congress it should
have a hand in passing on a reciprocity treaty
The Senate is divided this question.

Berlin. Feb. 25.-The government is assisting
DR. Lewad the commissioner of Germany at
the ST. Louis Exposition in every way in his
efforts to stimulate interest in the fair. The
'I<reuz Zeitung' alluding to the tenacity of
the government in supporting the exposition
saws this is accounted for by political reasons
and relates an incident which occurred at the
meeting of the managers of the municipalities
Exposition. projected to take place at Dresden
in 1904. Dr. Lewald on that occasion made
speech in which he recommended the ample rep
resentat ton of the large German cities at st
Louis and the Chief Burgomaster of Dresden.
Herr Beuter, said that. ii part of the
foreign policy of the empire to make good
exhibit the imperial treasury ought to bear the
costs.
In inviting important concerns to participate
in the exposition DR.. Lewald finds that the
most common objection is that the United States
excludes German goods through her tariff. and
that il is useless to try TO establish German
trade there.

OF MARYLAND.

The democratic convention of
Maryland was an old-fashioned en-
thusiastic body, and while 1t was
solidly in favor of Arthur Pue Cor
man for President it did not, at his
request, formally present his name.
Mr.. German is not fussy, and he
believes that the Office should to
some extent at least seek the man.
IF he is, as many believe, the one
man who can unite the party, in
viting confidence and attracting in
dependent voters, then he is at the
service of the party he has served
without detection of any sort all the
years of his active life.
The nominee Of the Maryland
democrats for governor is Edwin A.
Warfield, whose popularity is as
great as his integrity. He has long
been unalterably opposed to the use
of money in elections or politics, ex-
cept for purposes known of all men,
and legitimate beyond all question,
such as the printing and distribution
of ballots, and the like. Unlike
other rich men, Mr.. Warfeld has
heretofore refused to buy the nomi-
nation, and his adherence to princi-
pie has made him the most popular
democrat in the state, and it is this
that insured his nomination. He
neither bought the nomination, nor
will he buy any of the $4,000 negro
voters in this state. He stands for
purity at elections, and if he be cleo
ted he will do his utmost to have
honest elections. His election. ~
such an issue is a foregone r'.c.n-
sion.
The republican nominee for aver
nor is Stevenson "A. Williams II
lawyer, and a man Of good star sli.G,.
He is handicapped by the cli4utS
and quarrels that have sprung, UP in
his party, and that are ceLtered
about Senator McComas, who is a
candidate for reelection. No one ser
iously doubts the election of Mr..
Warfeld, although he has to face
the opposition OF a solid negro vote,
but the state is in white hands and
| will remain there, thanks to the I'M
firing efforts of Senator German.

Lancaster 6inghams
ARE THE BEST.

There are no apron ginghams made that equal
the product of the Lancaster Mills.
Our saying so don't make it so, but we always
make a thorough test before putting ourselves on
record. Then, what we say is a fact.
Other mills make good ginghams too. but not
up to the Lancaster standard. They are not so
smooth or evenly woven or the pattern does not
stand out. Or possibly the cloth and pattern are as
good but the colors, the vital point of ginghanns-
are not as fast as they should be.
Here is THE feature of Lancaster ginghams.
THE COLORS ARE ABSOLUTELY FAST TO
WASHING.
And you get this without the additional cost to-
you of one penny. 1t costs the dealer a little more
but it costs you the same. That's why some dealers
may offer you inferior g%inghams as Lancaster.
You probably wont be able to tell the difference
until it is washed: You will know it then.
We are showing Lancaster Ginghams in Is,
of Brown, Blue, Red and Green.
The price is Seven Gents.

HONEST MERCHANDISE
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-03-13

The pains of being a dignitary in an
ancient country with tradition of
splendor is illustrated by this anecdote
from India. It is related that the vice
roy's eye lighted one day upon a dish
at which he gaZed for a moment with
incredulity. "What is this?" he de-
manded at last. \ trembling retainer
gasped that it was rice pudding. No
less a parsonage than the viceroy's con-
sort had ordered the humble pudding
which eminent statesmen may be seen
eating at their clubs with undisguised
enjoyment any day of the parliament
tary session. But the viceroy frowned.
"Take it away" he said. Never let
me see such thing again" This is
how the orient differs from the occi-
dent. Rice pudding might have ruined
the dignity Of the vice regal table in
native opinion.
