Cleveland was urged to veto it. and APP

again he refused He would not sign the

If that House should be democratic and
should send over tariff bill fashioned i'll
the image of the Wilson bill, the Senate
would change it, as it had Just changed
the Wilson bill. If that House should be
republican-and it turned out to be of
that ompleXion-where would be the hope
of democratic tariff revision?
1t must always remain mere question
as to what would have followed a veto.
1t might have made Mr. Cleveland his
party's candidate again in 1895: and in
tIldt event we SHOULD nave mao the tdTlI
issue complicated with the third term is
sue, with Mr.. Mckinley taking the pro-
lection and the two terms in the White
House side of the campaign. That would
have made a contest even more spirited
than the one against Mr.. Bryan and free
silver.
Judge Taft is no more likely to threaten
the House than to undertake to organize
it. At present there is no basis for
threat. He no more understands what
members of the new House understa and
what sort of bill he wants passed Both
sides are bound by the same promise
that made in the platform adopted at
Chicago. The people want reduction of
taxation on articles upon which the duties
are now too high, and Congress is under
obligations to pass, and the President to
sign, such a measure. If Congress de-
faults in it's work and shuff1es with the
subject, the failure will be visited on the
republican party and the next House will
probably be democratic.
Consultations are better than threats
and there is abundant time for consulta-
lions. Neither Judge Taft nor the as yet
unOrganized next House has tariff bill
which. in the very nature of things, must
grow out of the formers recommendation
by message, and the latter's examination
of the schedules in the light of the in
'vestigation now in progress.

When William was little boy
He went about, IN told.
With every clumsy sort of toy
His tattered clothes would hold;
A rusty file. fishing line,
A pebble and yard of Irvine,
A lucky marble and a knife
That wouldn't cut to save your life.
A piece of perforated tin
Which on a string would buzz and spin.
A windwheel with its pine carved sails,
Some putty and lot of nails.
And other things which seemed to be
The idols of his heart;
Mysterious treasures from which ne
Would never, never part.
Now William keeps meath sturdy locks
Upon his motor car
A chest which beats Pandora box
For troubles seen afar.
A monkey wrench, a pump for air.

Some sparkling plugs. a coil of wire,
The remnants of damaged tire;
Assorted lots of pliers stout,
Some dry cells that have given out,

A battered horn that scarce will squeak
And other odd and ends which he
Can't possibly employ,
For Williams much the same, you see,

trial TO a greater degree than before.
They want to succeed. Their own flag

fyine.
Cuba is rich in soil. but richer in I'M
dveloped resources. She suggests the
southern states before the war for the
Union. In that day the south was a far
extending plantation. Cotton was king,
and everything. A great crop meant
great prosperity. A poor crop meant
much temporary distress. When flush,
The southern planter was the f1ushest
Individual in the country.
After the war change came over the
south Her attention was directed to
her coal fields, to her iron deposits. and
to the ACCESSIBILITY of spinning her own
cotton. Outside capital sought oppor-
tunity. and flowed in freely. To-day her
coal mines her iron furnaces. and her
cotton mills are prime agencies in the
south's activity and prosperity Her
fields are still white with cotton. but
cotton is no longer everything. The king
is not dead, but there is divided rule
in the south.
Cuba today is large plantation. Sugar
is king. Between crops there is little
doing. Great numbers of people are idle,
and while so. are pinched and discon-
tented But in the day when Cuba has
mines and manufactures this will be
changed. Then the happiness and pros
perity OF the people will not depend
solely on sugar and tobacco. With a
stable government that day should soon
come and the Cuban problem be solved.
With Cuba conducting her own affairs
successfully, We shall have good deal
80 show for the short war of 1898. Porto
Rico is flourishing. Her people desire.
and should have, American citizenship.
The island is rich spot. and, except
Cuba. the most desirable of all the West
Indies. Fifty years of American rule
should develop it to the utmost.
In the Philippines the record is highly
encouraging. We have done in ten years
more than we ourselves expected. and
FAR more than outsiders thought possible.
No oriental situation could be better
in hand Time now is the principal fac
Tor. With the leading Filipinos convinced
that American authority does not spell
oppression. but progress and increasing
home direction, our work in the archi-
pelago Should go forward smoothly, and
be crowned with complete success.
But even should Cuba fail in this sec
ond attempt at self-government we shall
still be justified in our course. For the
island under permanent American control
will be in better condition than it ever
was under Spanish control. and with
order assured should become dearer to it's
own people and more inviting to out

Venezuela in Evidence Again.

With Pres ident Castro on the sea on
the way to France for medical treat
ment." and with Dutch fleet assembling
off the coast of Venezuela, bent upon
establishing a blockade of that country
in punishment for alleged misconduct
toward Holland, crisis in the affairs of
the troublesome little republic would seem
to be imminent. But Venezuela has passed
through so many crises that 1t is by no
means an inevitable conclusion that the
cause of the perennial International fric-
ton will now be removed. There is one ray
of hope. however. A belief prevails in
official circles in France, it is reported,
tina. Castro is actually bent upon a per-
manent residence in Europe. to enjoy the
wealth which rumor declares to have
been accumulated during his years of
autocratic power. This report places at
$50, OO6O 600 the sum which Castro has
thus scratched together and which he
has from time to time sent abroad for
safe-keeping.
If this is true, Castro will cease to be
factor in the affairs of Venezuela. With
his elimination it will probably invite
reasonable relations with the rest of the
world. True, another Castro may appear,
another do1nineering. ruthless dictator,
shrewd, constituencies and successful. The
environment that produced Cypriano Cas-
tro may yield successor worthy the
name. But this may be doubted. When
strong man breaks after period of
stout resistance rarely is he replaced.
There was no successor to replace Ma
poleon when his power waned. There
was no second Cromwell to carry on the
English republic. In his own small way
very small indeed in most respects. but
large enough in certain results-Castro
has played the role of a Bonaparte in
Venezuela. Some say he is a patriot,
others that he is a CRATER. But it is
undeniable that for years he has been a
supreme master in his own country, and
that he has successfully defed the in
ternationaI conventions without suffering
punishment
1t is quite conceivable that he does not
intend to return to Venezuela. He is
undoubtedly rich and he is in i'll health
He can never score a higher mark. May
be he knows that his day is closing, po-
litically. 1t would be quite in character
for him to slide out now and leave some
other Venezuelan the task of disentan-
Cling the snarl of foreign troubles.
The Dutch blockade if undertaken will
probably be effective. The Hollanders
work with admirable precision in all their
enterprises 1t remains to be seen whether
the war move will involve other nations
At present it would seem likely that
there is an understanding between the
powers directly interested which war
rants Holland in proceeding to enforce
her protest against the alleged discrimina-
tons against her.

Taft and the Tariff,

story OF the tariff revision of 1894. After
the Wilson bill. as reshaped by Mr.. Cor

OF the stamp vendors swell the fund

those who have become infected with the

Improbable fraction. Every purchaser
can rest assured of forwarding the enter
