According to decisions of Commis sioner General Stirsennt. of the Immi gration bureau, Porto Rlcans do not seem to up American citizens save In Porto Rico. The Beef Trust Defiant. UNDETERRED by federal prosecution, the "beef trust" is marching: on. Steps are being taken to buy up and consolidate in a giant securities hold ing company all the plants now in com petition with the Armours, Swifts and Kelson Morris. Thus far only the pre liminary moves have been made, but they point unerringly to the merger. It Is predicted by those familiar with packing company values and methods that the capitalization of tho combine will have to be not less than $150,000,000, in order to bring In properties now on the outside and at tho same time af ford proper "compensation" to the or ganizers. Technical denials of an intention to effect a merger have been Issued by the magnates, but these appear to have little weight among tho wiseacres; and the announcement last week by the president of the G. H. Hammond com upany that J. Ogden Armour, now the head of the house and family of Ar mour, had "purchased a substantial interest" in that concern, following closely the purchase by the Swifts of the Anglo-American and Fowler Bros, interests and the acquisition by the Armours of another "substantial in terest" in the Omaha Packing com pany, leaves little doubt as to whither these moves point. Legally It Is difficult to see how such purchases can bo enjoined. There is talk of legal attack on the ground that the purchases are In the direction of a monopoly and therefore opposed to public Interest. Possibly when the merger shall have been completed and application made for tho incorporation of a securities holding company force might be imparted to this claim; but so long as the Inter-purchases of stock are individual there seems no way In which the state can intervene. A de cidedly different stutus exists with ref erence to tho power of congress over interstate commerce. A packing mo nopoly could hardly fall to demand 'concessions from tho common carriers, thus pxposlng Itself to attack; and tho Sherman law empowering the federal government to seize and confiscate goods in transit upon proof of viola tion of the Interstate commerce law- presents another considerable safe guard. The sure thing about this whole qucbtlon is that no trust is smart enough permanently to outwit and im pose upon the American people. The legal talent in the trust's employ will at some stage ho matched by outside talent fully bb good or better; and the arrogance of the man at the top, think ing himself master of all ho surveys, generally supplies tho opening neces sary to the accomplishment of his downfall. All this by purely natural law, regardless of what may come of jthe' Bearch for moro elTlclent statutory '.TPBUl(it(on. Under American control, the reve nues of Cuba averaged $10,000 a day. They are averaging now less than 510, PWn day. Our Cuban problem la by no ineans solved. - ' Sun Spots and the Weather. KV 13 HAVE been expecting that tho singular weather of the past few months without precedent, It la said, since 1S18 would call forth re newed activity from tho sun spot man. jvnd hero It Is; jIn the Monthly 'Weather Review for Jftirll, 100.', Prof. A. "Wolfer, of Zurich, Switzerland, publishes a tabic showing He relutlve number of sun snots that tjijiVQ bqen, observed ench month since ranuary, 1718. Tho numbers In the table have 'been plotted, and from the serves it appears thut the so-called tdeven-yeur period, that is,' the time oetween successive occurrences o maximum or minimum numbers ot ijjots, is not a uniform Interval, but jBjS varied, since 174!), between 0.0 years nd 13.6 years. The duration of tho period of increase of sun spots after a xRnlmum, us also the durutlon of the jsn'fvi of.depreuau.ptei; a maximum, also shows a variation. Dr. Norman Lockycr, of England, thought Ihe far mer had a cycle of thirty-five years, but Wolfer finds evidence that the periods of both Increase and decrease have cycles of fltty-nvo years, and that the ratio between the two hns tho same cycle, lie also finds that n short period of Increase Is followed by a high maxi mum of relative sun-spot numbers. To those who may artlrm that this Is not altogether clear, wo say It Is n clear to them as to us. The sun-soot theory nssumes that solar radiation Is Influenced by tho spots on tho sun! the moro snots tho less radiation, and vice versa. Variations In solar radiation, sun spot theorists contend, Influence meteorological and other con ditions, such as magnetic and elec trical conditions, Including tho aurora horcalls; air temperature: baromet ric pressure; humidity: tho winds: cloudiness; rainfall; depth and quan tity of discharge of rivers; retreat and advance of glaciers; numbers of ship wrecks; bunk failures and commercial crises; the ciops; prices of grain; fam ines: wars, tind even Mights of butter flies. But the experts do not agree as to whether the maximum of spots means the minimum of human comfort or the reverse; nnd until they do wo can only keep our umbrellas handy und hope on. m When a Democratic politician tries to make you believe that American manufacturers, as a permanent rule, can pay freight to Europe nnd sell goods there more cheaply than they sell them at home, Just take counsel of your common sense nnd nsk, Is it reasonable? The Better Way. ENATOR O. H. PLATT, the author of tho famous appen dix to the constitution of Cuba under which American super vision Is ass'ured in the Interest of sta bility, good order and faithful per formance of treaty obligations, dis cusses with much earnestness in the August number of the North American Review the nature and strength of "Cuba's Claim Upon the United States." In the very act of delivering Cuba from the oppressive rule of Spain, Senator Piatt insists, we became re sponsible for the establishment, and the maintenance as well, of good gov ernment there. Since the termination of the war, there has never been any question that the economic relations be tween Cuba and the United States are as Important as their political relations; and when the United States required of Cuba that her constitution should con tain guaranteces which should fovcrer connect her Intimately with us. It wa3 universally understood that the United States would in leturn provide such re ciprocal commercial advantages as would enable Cuba to be self-reliant and self-supporting. The failure of congress to make this understanding good has left tho United States In a deplorable position before the world. Senator Piatt argues that there Is no foundation for the fear that conces sions to Cuban sugar would interfere with the protection of our own sugar producers, since no such effect follows the introduction into the American market of Hawaiian and Porto Rlcan sugar. But the United States has never been a faith-breaker, and wo shall not assume that role at this lato date. Says Senator Piatt: "Friends of Cuba In the United States have appealed from the mistaken sentiment ot a few of Us legislators to the American people. That the appeal will not be in vain there are many hopeful signs. There is such a thing as public conscience In this country, nnd when once aroused it is all-powerful. The Republican conventions of those states from which objections to this legislation were most strongly urged, have shown, by tcsolutions adopted by them, that even in those states the heart of the people Is right. Wherever our true-hearted and courageous presi dent speaks for justice to Cuba and the performance of national obligations, the people lespond as to no other sen timent which he utters. It will only need a reassembling of congress to de monstrate that our policy with regard to Cuba Is not to be finally obstructed by groundless fear or senseless preju dice; that our plighted faith Is to bo observed; that tho United States Is still to be the generous friend, tho strong protector and unselfish guardian of the Cuban people; that the republic of Cuba is to bo permanently maintained; that tho pledge of the United States Is not to bo violated, cither in letter or In spirit; that no movement for the an nexation ot Cuba Is to be started or supported here; but that, as time goes on, Cuba, free and Independent, guided and aided by us In the realization of her dream of liberty, will continue and remain an object lesson to all nations of tho high purpose und noble action ot tho United States." Contrast with this enlightened nnd generous view of the relations which should prevail between this country and Its foster-child the following pic ture of tho condition of affairs develop ing In tho island since thu failure of our congress to keep faith with tho Cuban people plunged them Into des pondency, suspicion and want. It Is drawn by Major George M, Barbour, for four years and until recently sani tary commissioner of Santiago: "Tho country Is really in a bad way, Tho times aro hard, terribly hard, and I see no reason to think they will Im prove. ' The cities of Santiago and Havuna, which our people mada clean and wholesome, aro again falling back Into tho old unsanitary conditions that prevailed under Spanish rule, The peo ple are once more throwing slops Into tho streets and eve long pic foul smells that were banished by the Americana will pollifte the atmosphere of tho towns. It Is pitiable to think that tho splendid educational system that we Inaugurated for them will not be kept up, but that cause I fear Is doomed along with other public necessities, With a threatened deficit of several millions, there will be no way of main taining tho schools, and the old era of Ignorance will return." . Annexation, of course, will come. It Is Inevitable eviu'ally. But tow much better shouPU come through spon taneous renueat of the Cuban people, after generous satisfaction of their as piration for separate nationhood than to have It come through stem cconomlo compulsion, like an International re ceivership. A dispatch frorri Worcester, Mass., In tho New York Herald tells of a dis covery which, If truly reported, Is of very considerable Industrial Import ance. It asserts that William H. Whit ney of Clark university has found a solder which Is effective between pieces of aluminum. Heretofore tho lack of this has been the one drawback to a more general utilization of this light, strong and useful motul. The Whitney solder, It Is said, can bo applied with an iron, and Is so effective that pieces of wire attached together by It will break before the solder Itself will yield. General Uragg sticks to his point that ho bad a perfect right to write to his wife any opinion ho pleased concern ing tho Cubans. That cannot bo gain said. But It Is equally true that tho Cubans have n perfect right to object to tho presence In an olllclal capacity among them of an American who bus no better sense of official propriety than to make grossly offensive phrases about them. Bragg may have told the truth bluntly, but If ho wants to tell all ho knows In tho roughest manner pos sible he should get out or be put out of Uncle Sam's consular service. General Jacob H. Smith went through forty years of hardship In tho military service of his country, only to be cast roughly aside on account of one slip of tho tongue. Had he been in stead a successful promoter, he might have boodled a thousand councils and gotten by stealth and trickery mil lions of dollars and he would today be cock of the walk. Human Justice is sometimes oddly fashioned. Bandit Tracy feels that it will be nec essary for him to rob a bank and hold up a train In order that a proper pace may be kept up. The meagre news paper accounts of his, transactions at present are certainly somewhat dis couraging for one of his enterprise. Beginning Aug. 1, tho central govern ment In Cuba abandoned street clean ing and sanitation in cities, relegating these tasks to tho various municipal governments. Let us hope that the latter will prove equal to them. The striking grave diggers of Chi cago have timed their tie-up with re markable sagacity. There beems no better time for a cemetery strike than at a period when the high price of coal will make cremation expensive. The theory that war time means high wages finds no confirmation in Eng land. In that country last year, ac cording to an official report, the aver age aggregate wage disbursement fell $400,000 a week. With usual enterprise Mr. Bailey, of circus fame, states that the recent ilood of immigration to this country is caused by a desire on the part of Euro peans to be near "the greatest show on earth." Like all of the other Arctic explorers, Mr. Baldwin has reported progress. WE STAND CORRECTED. Editor ot Tho Tribune Sir: In an editorial on Saturday last you glvo us tho Interesting news that Mr. Carnegio has presented tho Acton library, which ho recently purchased, to John Morley. Toward tho close of tho urtlclo you hay: "Although he succeeded James Anthony Froudo as historical lectin or nt Oxford, etc." Lord Acton did not huccccd Froudo, but was professor of modem his tory at Cambridge, thus being Miceobsor to Sir John Scelcy, and Charles Kingslcy. The Regnh piofchsorshlp of modern hls toty at Oxford has been held by Stubbs, Freeman, Froude, and ut present by Mr. F. Yoik Powell. You alt.0 speak of Lord Acton as the pupil ot Raukc; tho teachers who wcio believed to have been mobt Influential with him were Cardinal Wiseman and Dol llugcr. Is Moiibeh a proofreader's or typesetter's blip for Mommson? That Lord Acton was tho "silent partner of Gardiner In his historical researches" be longs, I fear, in the category of things "important If true." Ho planned, it Is said, a history of lib erty, but ua ho worked und read the theme expanded so that ho finally aban doned it us too much for even his In dustry and capuclty. As he was u Lib eral in politics, an ardunt Homo Ruler, and a devout Roman Catholic. It would havo doubtless been a raio pleasure to many of us to read his treatment of thut glorious subject.
