The movement on the port of the
local phystcinuB to start a school for
trained nnrseB at the hospital, ns told
in the Evening News yesterday,
shows ranch enterprise on the part of
tlio local medical staff. To teach the
various subjects which hnve boon
assigned to the different doctors will
take much of thoir time and greatly
increase their work. They hnve gone
about the matter so quietly and earn
nt+1„ linwnro, that it is OVideilt they

J is a vast difference between operating
a library and having a place where
people, both young and old, can go to
improve their minds and pass the lew
hours in profitaolo reading.
There is hardly any doubt as to the
scceess of tho experiment. At the
present time, the street corners seem
to be the only plane to congregato on
Sunday, with the exception of the
Sunday schools, and it is hardly pro
bablo that the opening of tho reading
room will in any wav decrease the
attendance. On the other hand the
open reading room will tend to draw
from the crowds that usually spend
tho afternoon on tho streets, the ice,
or at some other pastime. Tho Lib
rary Board is to bo commended for
their action. There is no doubt but
that it is decidedly for tho best inter
ests ol the city.
EDITORIAL COMMENT,
How is this, is Essex losing its grip?
We noto with surprise that a Newark
man, Cortlandt Parker, Jr., is to lose
the position of Assistant United States
District Attorney, which is to be
given to Theodore B. Booraem, a New
| Brunswick lawyer. Of course it is
not a voluntary retirement, being
j brought about by the appointment of
a new District Attorney. Senator
J Drydon’s reported approval of tho
j change leads to the suspicion that in
| giving up this position Mr. Parker or
i some other Essex man has assurance
of getting “something jnst as good.”

• Senate Makes Treaty Effec
tive by Large Majority.
WILL FOSTER INSULAR PROSPERITY
Twin Object* of tlie Government
Were to Rentier Justice to Culm
mill llle OlKMtillK of lew lllir
ket* lo the l niteil State*.
WASHINGTON. Dec. IT. After nn
nil day debate* the senate passed the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. The vote
was 57 in favor of the treaty to 18
against it. As tlie measure was passed
by tlie house of representatives during
tlie special session, it now only awaits
tlie president's signature. This will be
allixed at once, ns tlie special session
was called for the purpose of disposing
of tlie treaty.
With (lie passage of tlie hill to make
effective the treaty of commercial reci
procity with Cuba tile end for which
the administration has constantly striv
en. with the twin objects of justice to
Cuba and tin* opening of a new market
to (lie United States, will lie in sight
and will be attained ten days after the
exchange of ratifications of tlie treaty.
epitomized, tlie new treaty admits
into tlie United States all products of
Cuba now dutiable at a reduction of
20 per cent upon the rates of tlie Ding
ley tariff. In return Cuba admits prod
ucts of the United States at an equal
reduction from its own tariff. In addi
tion to tlds general concession Cuba
agrees to three lists of imports from
tlie United States upon which It grants
reductions of duty respectively of 25,
3o and 40 per cent.
Another important provision of tlie
treaty is that no Cuban sugar during
tlie life of tlie treaty shill! la* admitted
Into tlie United States at a reducion of
Dingley rate and that no other foreign
sugar shall be admitted during the
game period at any reduction of duty
whatever. The treaty is to continue in
force for live years and thereafter un
til terminated by the giving of one
year’s notice by either parly.
This summary of the treaty is perti
nent because it is expected that many
Inquiries as to exact terms will he
made by manufacturers and exporters
! in the United States. They will need to
j study the schedule of articles upon
j which Cuba has made concessions of
duty greater than 20 per cent. The in
! terest of the general public lies in
knowing the broad expectations that
are held as to the advantage that this
country will gain in Increased export
trade, a trade that should grow with
the growth of Cuba in population and
Industry, due to the Insular prosperity
that reciprocity is expected to foster.

HAVANA. Dee. 17. News of the
passage by the United States senate
of the lull for reciprocity between the
United Stab's and t’libn, conveyed here
by a bulletin, soon spread through the
'city. It came somewhat as a surprise
both to the Cuban and Spanish mer
chants. the prolonged negotiations and
the many delays having caused a feel
ing of skepticism as to the outcome,
which was relieved only by the news.
Expressions of satisfaction are uni
versal in Havana. Many Americans
1 engaged in enterprises in Cuba are en
thusiastic ind believe that business
generally will find relief from the de
pression of the past four months, dur
ing which stocks ran extremely low.
It is believed tint the passage of the
: bill will result immediately in heavy
buying both from the United States
and Europe.
