LITERARY NOTES.
Everywhere.
"V ill Carlcton'8 Magazine, Every Where, for
May, is one of the brightest and most entertain
ing number of iliat unique monthly that have
come to band. Tlfcre are several contributions
in the facile poet's most charming style and many
short sketches and stories that for grace, beauty,
and real human interest might have been written
by the brilliant editor himself. A most timely
and interesting feature is the reiuinisence of Rev.
Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, who was, for many
years, Mr. Car leton's neighbor and most intimate
friend. The leading poems by the editor of the
magaziue are, "The Passing of the Mother" and
"Good-by, Old Horse" both illustrated. Fan
ny Crosby gives an interesting description of
how hymns are made and also contributes a
"Spring Hymn", both words and music being
from the famous composer's own pen. Margaret
. Sangster has two new poems in the number;
and, besides, all the departments are well filled
with good things.
The Outlook.
The Outlook is making a special feature of
printiag single-page portrait ' and sketches of
people of immediate note. The May Magazine
Number contains such portrait and sketches - of
.MaWaMitchelMkMimri.wlio has just
f "-" o - ' . I-"1! '
the new Civil Service Commissioner; Frank P.
Sargent, who is to be the new Immigrant Com
missioner, and Henry Clay Evans, who has lately
resigned the office of Commissioner of Pensions.
Keview of Reviews.
Mr. W. T. Stead was an intimate friend and
confidant of Cecil Rhodes, and for years was in
trusted with the great South African's imperial
secrete. Only a part of Mr. Stead's disclosures
made since the death of Rhodes has been given to
the daily press, but the whole atorjr is told for
the first time in the May number of the Ameri
can Monthly Review of Reviews. There will
be found the full test of the remarkable notes
on world politics written by Mr. Rhodes in 1890,
commenting with the greatest freedom on ' cur
rent American aflairs, and giving some sugges
tion of the ideas which underlav the Oxford
scholarship scheme. Nowhere else has been
published so complete and authoritative an esti
mate of this modern Colossus of the English'
speaking world. Pictures os "Groote Schuur,"
Mr. Rhodes' home at Cape Town, with excellent
portraits of Mr. Rhodes himself, accompany the
article.
National.
Senator Hanna has at last found time to write
the third in the series of articles which has .been
contributing to the National under the title,
"William McKinley as I Knew Him." This
paper, in which the senator discusses McKinley's
first days in the While House, will appear in
the June National. The same number will con
tain an article on the shipping bill by Senator
Frye of Maine, president pro tern, of the Senate.
Senator Frye is the author of the bill and its
most ardent champion.
CUBA AND THE TRUSTS.
It is to be hoped the Beet Sugar Trust is en
tirely pleased with the result of its first essay at
a Cuban sugar inquest, for if it is everybody else
doubtless is, and so we shall all be happy.' If
it is not pleased, however, it can have nobody to
blame but itself, since it would have the inquest.
For months it has been declaring, with variegated
vehemence verbiage, that the demand for reci
procity with Cuba was started and is maintained
by the American Sugar Refining Company, or
Sugar Trust, for its own selfish and greedy ends;
that the sugar plantations and refineries of Cuba
are largely owned by this latter trusty that the
bulk of the present sugar crop in, Cuba is owned
or held under options by the trust, and that con
sequently the trust and not the Cuban people
wouM nccfit fronj the proposed tariff, redaction
upon lis cS Clrx Welt, the makers of!
those chains, tlrae Senator Teller, have un
dertaken CJ cf proving them, and every
facility ha beta granted to them for so doing.
They began on Thursday . by , examining Mr.
Havemeyer, the president of the Sugar Trust,
whom the? have been representing as practically
csrrvin- tka fY.tn
i j J) ---- as uai.1 J AM K4AO HVUOUS
i pocket. His aworn testimony nude "mighty in
teresting reading. It was to the effect that the
Sugar Trust owns no" plantations or refineries in
Cum i whateyerj that he and some of his associates
doicdivhJiialljr own some properties there, which,
however, t-eyj purchased before the war . and
while Cuba waif still a possession of Spain; that
of this year's Cuban, sugar crop the trust has
purchased outright and brought to this country
less than 6 per cent, and that it has also pur
chased and holds, awaiting shipment, 6 per cent
more; that ft has no options on the rest of the
crop and has made no advances of money upon
it, and that, in brief, so far as the Sugar Trust
is concerned or is informed, more than 87 per
cent of the Cuban sugar crop was and is the
property of iiie planters and manufacturers, who
and not the trust will be the beneficiaries of
reciprocity. Jn other words, Mr. Havemeyer's
sworn testimony squarely and unequivocally con
tradicts the charges of the Beet Sugar Trust at
every point and in every detail. It will be inter
eating to see what rejoinder they will make. Mean
time U is to be observed that Mr. Havmeyer also
frankly testified to the existence of a keen com
mercial rivalry between his company and the beet
sugar organization. - It is a case of trust against
trust, with the usual concomitants of trade war,
including the artificial manipulation of prices
and the temporary selling of products at less than
cost It does not appear that the American
people have any particular interest in such war
fare between rival monopolists, rave to protect
themselves from, extortion. They are, however,
interested in preventing the prostitution of na
tional lionor and general national interests to the
rank of mere pawns in such a game. If the two
sugar trusts want to fight each other, let them
do so. ' Eao Represents a considerable American
