Senators and Representatives who are
soon to be called upon to decide
whether or not the Cuban treaty shall
be extended at the expiration of the
/ five-year term beginning in December,
1903. in statement which appears in
the New York Journal of Commerce
of December 10, 1906.
!! Under date of Havana, December s,
i Charles Rabadan, vice. president of the
i New York Produce Exchange, is quoted
as saying that 1.-The commercial inter
ests of the United States after a trial
OF five years, have decided that Cuba
was given too much the advantage,
and there seems to be an inclination on
the part of the manufacturers and pro-
ducers to get better showing in the
next reciprocity treaty, il there is to be
one
According tosMr. Rabadan it is true,
as the American Economist has so often
asserted, that the practical effect of the
treaty is to provide Cuba with many
additional millions of American money
with which to increase her purchases in
Europe of commodities which compete
with American production.
| Moreover, as is pointed out, the
American farmers get it both going
and coming. Not only are they deprived
OF rightful Protection through the Tar
if reductions granted in favor of Cuban
sugar, tobacco fruits. vegetables, etc.,
but considerable portion of the money
which they pay to the Sugar Trust and
the Tobacco Trust for their sugar and
tobacco finds it way to Canada and
Halifax to pay for vast quantities of
hay, oats and potatoes which Cuban
consumers buy of our neighbors to the
northward.
Mr.. Rabadan's prominence as an
officer of the New York Produce ex-
change adds value to his estimate of the
bad effects of Cuban reciprocity when
he says:
Americans feel that they could have
greater preferential duty than the last
treaty allowed, apd are prepared to go
before Congress and make substantial
fight. We do not care about -four and
pork and several other products which
the United States can furnish to greater
advantage and on shorter notice than

Loud in Making Claims.

There are plenty of ardent partisans
who are loud in making claims, but in
each instance of this kind the claim
is based on the desire rather than the
calm, deliberate judgment of the max
er. A noticeable feature of the pres
ent situation is that the unprecedented
outsider who is viewing the scene and
Analysing conditions wholly from a dis
interested standpoint is quite unable to
pick winner, while each partisan is
still cock sure that his man will be
nominated.
There is little doubt that a nomina.
ton would have been made last
Wednesday night had it not been for
Governor Warmers sensational mani
festo. Each speaker representing the
several candidates said in supporting
the motion that the caucus adjourn
for one week that he did so at the re-
quest Of his principal in the interest
of party harmony and in Difference to
The wishes Of the governor. Even So
The fact was, however, that each and
every candidate was afraid to have q
ballot taken under the circumstances
not being able to accurately measure
the result. While party harmony and
Difference to the wishes of the chief
executive may have entered into the
matter. the weight that determined the
course of action was self interest.
No one can legitimately find fault with
this, for ii is most natural that it
should be the predominating considera-
ton.

But if he should be invited to the

But ne earthly king is able to pro-

abundantly above all that we can ask

Worlds OUTPUT OF Aluminium.

Consul James A. NORMAN, of
Three Rivers, Quebec, gives the
worlds output of aluminium at about
$1,000 tons, of which, he says, the
American concern located at Shawen-
egan Falls, Canada, supplies about
twenty per cent. The Consul odds:
The metal has been availed of in so
many ways in recent years as to
make it a precious one. The only
method by which aluminium has been
produced in any considerable guam
tity is by the Hale process of manu-
facture from the oxide, but an Amer
lean inventor has produced a process
for reinining the metal by electricity
sis which may bring about its wider
use under more advantageous con-
ditions.'

The P. & o. boat has just arrived

Among the passengers there is a
young man who wear a grave and
preoccupied expression. He does not
scan the faces of those ashore who
have come to meet the boat; he has
friends, dear friends, at home, but
he knows that no one will be here
to welcome him, for they do not
know of his arrival.

shilling in his hand; "once a gentle
man, always a gentleman. Now,
some fellows would have said There's
your carriage and taken no further
notice of him. He's out O luck, that's
all, and l hope it will return to him."
The subject of this aspiration
pulled his railway rug around him,
pushed up his coat collar, drew down
his travelling cap over his brows, and
prepared himself for silence, if not
for slumber. He was in no mood to
talk, nor, in any case. would the ap-
pearance of his fellow-passengers
have invited conversation. There
were but TWO of them-one a rough
looking fellow, but without the

OFFENDING PASTOR WHIPPED.
Kentuckian Angry Because Wife Was
Advised to Sue Him.

Lexington, XIV. W. Meadows,
a wealthy land owner Of Fulton, adj
ministered a horse whipping to the
Rev. Frank Morton Hawley, at Full"
ton. Aided by friends, he drove the
minister across the Tennessee line
and placed him aboard the train un-
der threats Of death should he dare
to return.
Mr.. Hawley was pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, and was we'll
liked by the community. 1t is
charged that he advised Meadows
wife to file suit for divorce. He had
been on a visit to Charlottesville, N.

train when he vas h%andcuffed by
Meadows and party. He was escorted
to a vacant lot and whipped. He de-
clared he was innocent Of any mis-
conduct.

No Wonder He Found it.

able fact that Frank Bookwalter, OF
Springfield, Ohio, returned to his
childhood's home after an absence of
sixty-fve years and found a dime that
he had lost in a crack in the front
steps when he was five years old.
There is nothing remarkable in
this story. Mr.. Bookwalter is de-
scribed as a millionaire. After six
ty-fve years experience in picking up
money, it would have been a wonder
if he had not found his boyhood's
dime, especially as he knew where it
was.

its beneficial effects are greater than
