MR KNOX
HAS BEEN piAMEp As PREsl
DENT RoosEVELT's REFEREE
ON THE RATE BILL.

T WASHINGTON, Feb. 16,-The
President has annouced that he will
authorize Senator Knox of Pittsburg
to outline to the Senate the admins.
tration's policy on the railroad rate
bill. His decision on the proposea
amendments will be takcn by tho
President as final.
This, the President informed Sen
ator Aldrich. in his answer to the In
quiry as to what Will be the attI'
tude Of the administration on the rate
question. BY this statement the
President naturally gave notice to the
Senate committee, which expected to
take a vote on the bill this afternoon,
that It SHOULD await the return Of
Senator Knox from Plttsburg before
taking action. 1t is extraordinary pro.
ceedlngs, as Senator Knox is not a
member OF the committee, Such po-
sition, 1t Is claimed, has never been
assigned by a President and 1t is an
honor that has never been conferred
upon any Senator.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been beseiged by
Senators onboth sides who have made
dlametricalIy opposite statements to
him about the effect which tho various
proposed amendments and the bill as
unamended would have in law.
Where Lawyers Differ.
One set Of experienced lawyers in
the Senate have told him that the
unamended bill would reach precisely
the object sought 10 be attained by
the amendments, and another equally
experienced set have assured him
vehemently that the amendments are
absolutely necessary. Even his cab
inot has hoen divided, excellent law
yers in it having given the President
entirely opposite assurances as to tho
effect Of the amendments.
The President is not lawyer, but
he has done his best to reach con
clusiou from the various statements
made him by men who are. Several
times he has actually reached what
appeared to bo correct legal conclu'
slons, based on the apparently incon'
trovertIble arguments Of men learn
ed in the law, only to have pitfalls
pointed out to him by others. Hence
his decision to turn the whole matter
over to Mr. Knox, whose legal know
ledge Is considered by him to be as
great as that Of any man in public
life and who is as utterly unbiased on
the subject as any man who can be
found.

CUBA IN TROUBLE.

The outlook in Cuba at this time
does not appear promising for the
stability Of that country as a Repub-
lie The lamented i'itzhugh Lee,
after full information as to the char.
acter and habits Of the Cuban peo-
pie at the time when Cuba was
struggling to be free from Spanish
control, said that the Cuban's were
not then of a condition OF mind to
be able to govern themselves, and
the indications are that he was not
only right then, but that the former
have not improved much in self
governmental capacity since. The
government is not yet half a dozen
years old, and the President thereof
has made a most efficient executive
officer. BY broad-minded patriotism
and conservatism he has won the
esteem Of all his people, who love
peace and liberty, and the admiration
Of the world. Cuba is prospecting
Yet, this is not enough In that
tropical country there still exists
lingering in the hot blood OF a few
desire to rule by the sword and
not through that higher mandate
now inherent in the bosom Of almost
every people-common sense and
reason.
A few disgruntled politicians set
ting at defiance the laws Of theil
country, it is said, are Matching
schemes to murder the President
The moral sentiment of every nation
should condemn the uprising, and
the law and order class Of the Cuban
people should meet the movement
with the seyerest censure. President
Palma has shown a full conception
of his duty in the emergency in or
dering the arrest of every offender
1t remains for the better class of Gu
ban people to back him up in every
way and kill the threatened insured
ton at its birth. Without law anC
order Cuba or no other country car
live and prosper. The United State
wants to take no further hands in it
affairs, but it will if it must.

WHY A
NATIONAL BANK
is BEST:

/. A NATIONAL BANK is under the
supervision of the United States Gov
eminent.
?. LAWS governing National Banks
are very strict.
3. NATIONAL BANKS are required
to submit to the Government and publish
in their home paper an exact statement
of their Business five times year.
A. NATIONAL RANKS are examined
twice year by experts from the United
States Treasury.
5. THEIR STOCKHOLDERS are held
responsible in double the amount Of
their stock, thus giving undoubted Sc
curty to the depositors.
FIVE DOLLARS will open an ac-
count with us.
SMALL ACCOUNTS are especially
solicited.
You can bank here by MALL ask your
