Debate on Cuban Sugar.
The Philodemic Debating Society at
its last meeting debated the question,
Resolved, That Philippine cane sugar
should be admitted into the United
States free of duty" Interest in the
debate, however. was centered in the
single-handed performance of Godfrey
Butler. Owing to the absence OF his
! teammate Robert w. Manning, ne had
I to debate both sides of the negative.
] He did this so ably that not only was
I the negative side given the decision in
! the debate but he was also selected as
{ the best speaker. His opponents were
/ William Glavin and John Lynch.
The Philodemic Society will hold its
annual Merrick debate on December 8.
