Monarchical in Application.
Washington advices seem to
lore-shadow what we think will
prove to be a blunder on the part
of the '"regulars," the ''stand-pat
ters.'' the friends of Tariff stabil
ity. It is said that they have de
cided to yield the pressure for
granting enlarged powers and jur
isdiction to the Tariff board, to the
end that the door may be opened
wide to a thorough inquiry look
ing toward further Tariff revision,
says the American Economist.
They are going to surrender
their convictions and their prin
ciples, is reported, in order to fore
stall more Tariff agitation!"
It is asserted that they are "in
a blue funk" over the situation;
that they are so scared by insur
gent threat that they are ready
to grant the insurgent demand for
"more revision."
This seems incredible, prepos
terous.
Is more Tariff agitation to be
of'restalled" in that way?
Can you stop Tariff agitation by
providing means wherewith to
promote agitation.
Can you convince people that
the Republican Tariff legislation
of 1909 is good legislation by play
ing the game of those who want to
convince the country that it is bad
legislation?
The business of the country is
not calling for more Tariff agita
tion, for inquiry and investiga
tion directly calculated to keep up
the agitation.
The insurgents want Tariff agi
tation continued as a means of es
caping political oblivion.
The Democrats want Tariff
agitation continued because it
threatens to smash the Republican
party.
But why should sane, level
headed, conservative Republicans
and Protectionists want it? Have
these people lost their heads? Are
they scared into fits by insurgent
bin IT and bluster?
The men who framed the Tariff
of 1909 knew what they were
about when they provided for the
creation of a board which should
assist th President- in the applica
tion of the minimum and maxi
mum system, and also assist cus
toms adminstrative officers. At
least they thought they knew what
they were about. They thought
they were placing an absolute limi
tation upon the powers of that
board, namely, to assist the ad
ministration of the present Tariff,
that and nothing more. They did
not suppose and did not intend
that the Tariff board had or should
have any authority whatsoever in
connection with future Tariff legis
lation.
The in orients themselves took
this view <>f the law, ami com
plained lie.-.tuse of the plain re
striction- therein imposed.
But have turned out dif
ferently .
The tariff honed lit- construed
the law otherwise.
It lias tlrugnuitly violated the
law.
It has undertaken to secure high
priced expert service* to examine
into production cost.
It has eveu attempted to organ
ize a propaganda looking to the en
tire removal of the Tariff on wool,
in order that more mutton sheep
and lean wuol sheep *hall In; bred
in the United Stale*.
If the truth of these assertions
shall Is* challenged we stand ready
ty prove theui. We can prove
that the Tariff board IN a body of
Tariff rippem on general princi
pled, with special devotion to cer
tain interests.
In it, tbfU, proposed to uul&ige
thn wope increase the powers and
eipaud the 'J i»i If i ipping func
tion* of this Tariff rip|4ug hoard'
Are the regulars," tha coiim-r
--veiivc-*, the frienu* of Tariff at*>
bility and of business confidence
getting ready to "lay down" to
the insurgent crowd?
And for what? To "forestall
more Tariff agitation," we are
told.
As well expect to forestall more
fires by appropriating money with
which incendiaries may buy kero
sene and matches.
It cannot be so. It must not be
so. The hope of the country is in
the Old Guard, the wise and patri
otic men who have thus far with
stood the assaults of insurgents
and traitors.
"The Old Guard dies, but it
never surrenders." Is this to re
main true? Yes, if the insurgent
Tariff commission conspiracy is
balked. Not otherwise.
Shall we leave Tariff Protection
to the tender mercies of Professor
Emery, "Jimtnie" Reynolds and
Beef Trust Sanders?
It comes with bad grace for some of
our Democratic contemporaries to say
that Captain Barclay withdrew from
the Congressional race because he had
"cold feet." As the general interpre
tation of "cold teet" is lack of courage,
the epithet hardly applies to the old
veteran, who was in the front stopping
rebel bulle f s while his accusers were at
home holding "Golden Circle" meet
ings and shouting for Jeff Davis.—

Got Another Copy.
A well dressed man was standing
outside a bookseller's shop In Charing
Cross road closely examining one of
Balzac's works Illustrated by Gustave
Dore. "How much Is this .Balzac?" he
asked an assistant outside.
"Twenty-five shillings." was the re
ply.
"Oh. that's far too much. I must see
the manager about a reduction." con
tinued the prospective customer, and,
suiting the action to the word, he took
up the book and went Into the shop.
Approaching the bookseller, he took
the book from under his arm and asked
what he would give for it "Seven
shillings highest offer," he was told.
The offer was accepted, the man took
Ills money and left
"Well," queried the assistant later,
nfter the man had gone, "were you
Able to hit it off with the gentleman,
sir?"
"Oh, yes. I managed fo get another
copy of that edition of Balzac for 7
shillings."
Then the bookseller went out to
lodge a complaint with the police—

A Victim of Leprosy.
"On my travels In Venezuela," said a
New York man,"l stayed in a hotel
with a young man In whose family
there was the taint of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have it One
night sitting at dinner he became an
gry at a waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
Instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his band,
his face whitening with horror. 'Give
me your knife, Bob,' he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknlfe in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger tip
to wrist You may not know that lep
rosy appears in the side of the band,
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking over his chair, rushed
out into the courtyard of the hotel, and
we heard the quick tang of a revolver
shot, telling us how he bad conquered
the leper's curse by ending his life."—
New York Times.
Ho Could Wield an Ax.
The skill of the old Maine shipbuild
ers In the use of the adz and broadax
was wonderful. One old time yarn is
of a carpenter who applied very drunk
at a shipyard for employment In or
der to have a little fun with him the
foreman set him to give a proof of his
skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with
no chopping block but a stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen edge of
the broadax and showed the foreman
a neatly made bolt Then he brought
the ax down with a terrific blow that
shattered its edge upon the stone. "1
can hew fust rate on your chopping
block." he hiccoughed, "but I'll be
blamed If 1 can make the ax stick in
it when I git through." The story runs
that the foreman lost no time in em
ploying such a workman.
Judges' Wigs.
The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial nppearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect The cus
tom was originated by a French Judge
In the seventeenth century when, hap
pening to don a marquis' wig one day,
he found it gave hliu such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself nod wear it at
all times in court This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only
Judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.—London
Graphic.
Acquitted.
"Sir!" said the young woman, with
what seemed to be iudlguatiou.
The young man looked embarrassed.
"Yes. 1 did kiss you." he admitted,
"but I was Impulsively Insane."
"That means that a man would be a
lunatic to kiss me?"
"Well, auy man of discretion would
be just crazy to kiss you."
This seemed to end the strain, and.
no jury being present to muddle af
fairs. a satisfactory verdict was
reached.

A Judicial *or.
A verdant local reporter whose pro
pensifles incline to daring rather thai
to judgment and whose ardency In tin
quest of news is one of his marked
characteristics approached a Judge of
the United States district court and so
licited a little advance Information on
a case In progress in the Judge's court
"You see. judge." s:iid the youngster
to the astonished jurist, "we goto
press In a few moments, and we all
know your inclination to do a news
paper man a favor."
i'he venerable man eyed the youth
sternly and said slowly aud emphat
ically:
•"Yes, young man, I'll do you n fa
vor this time, and you will see that
>»»u don't ask me again."
"That's tine, your honor. Thanks,
very much. Just a few lines will do."
"I will do you this favor. I shall not
send you to Jail this time, but If you
ever approach mo again with such a
fjuestlon your friends will not see you
for some time."
The discomfited reporter retired ru
minating on the mysteries of the law
and the dignities pertaining to the Ju
diciary.—Phlladelpha Ledger.
The Exclusiveness of Caste.
An English officer who some years
ago was wounded In a battle in India
and left lying all night among the na
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
"Next morning %ve spied a man and an
old woman, who came to us with a
basket and a pot of water, and to
every wounded man she gave a piece
of Joaree bread from the basket and a
drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and 1 thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was a
high caste Rajput, and, as this wom
an was a Chuniar. or of the lowest
caste, ho would receive neither water
nor bread from her. I tried to per
suiide him to take it that he might
live, but he said that in our state, with
but a few hours more to linger, what
was a little more or less suffering to
us—why should he give up his fate
for such an object? No; be preferred
to die unpolluted."
The Origin of Oxygen.
That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen In the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was a globe of hot
liquid it contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. ISut as
it cooled off plants appeared on its
surface, and these began to evolve
oxygen through the medium of"the
sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de
rived we depend for the maintenance
of life by breathing. When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use tip
oxygen, and It is to plants again that
we owe the restoration of the oxygen
thus lost to the air If they failed to
keep up a sufficient supply the atuios
phere would gradually part with its
oxygen, and the inhabitants of tbe
earth would disappear in consequence
of asphyxiation.
In Westminster Abbey.
Fox's tomb is perhaps tbe most ridic
ulous in the abbey, but others run it
bard—the naked figure of General
Wolfe supported by one of his stuff
In full regimentals and receiving a
crown from Victory; William W liber
force apparently listening to Sheridan
telling a comic tale and contorting his
features in tbe endeavor not to IUUKII;

and liomau to-.-n. which excited the
mirth even of contemporaries, and all
the monuments erected by the Last
India company, with palm trees and
other tropical exuberances, to tho
memory of great soldiers, like Sir Lyre
Cools. From tbe point of view of good
taste a dictator would be justified In
dismissing these and many more to
the stonemason's yard—Corn hill Mag
