Stubborn, Unyielding, Yet Intellectual, the Symbol of Republicanism Has Weight With the People for Good Reasons. It is very easy to fall out of patience with the Republican party. For of all thick-skinned, self-satisfied, ponderous, immovable animals, it is undoubtedly the worst. Some poet it surely was, with an imagination that saw into the essential heart of things, who dubbed it the elephant. When once it has taken its stand you can jab all day without budging it. Building a fire underneath Is about the best way of obtaining progress. Now just why the American people prefer to deal with such an irrespon sive brute is often hard to compre hend. The nig point in his favor, of course, is his intelligence. When he does move, he moves in the right di rection ; for he happens to possess the ablest intellectuals in the business. But a little less Intelligence and a somewhat more obliging spirit would surely do as well by the country and every one would be in a much more amiable frame of mind. So, why the elephant, The answer is unfortunately all too plain. It was given only the other day, for example, in an inconspicuous observation of the Hon. Champ Clark, Democratic leader in the house of rep resentatives. Said he of the Repub lican proposition to give plenary pow ers of investigation to the tariff board; "The house Democrats are uuited in their opposition to it." Think of it! Here at last is a chance for the country to obtain the information which everyone wants—• the facts whereupon a proper revision of the tariff by any party can alone be made. And the Democrats will unani mously oppose it—for fear, of course, that it may help the Republicans get together! Of course, the facts would ultimately, if the Democratic dogma is correct, annihilate the Republican party. But never mind that. Hang the principle of the thing—or even its far-sighted expediency. Let's be as pettily partisan as we can, say the Champ Clark Democrats. Is It any wonder that with such a bray resounding in the air the Ameri can people turn back peevishly to the stubborn old elephant?— New York Evening Sun (Ind.). What the Tariff Law Is Doing. The volume of business throughout the country as shown by the bank clearings continues to increase. The indications at the beginning of March were fully borne out by the figures for the entire month. In which nearh every financial center of Importance showed material improvement over March of a year ago. Total clearings for the United States, according to the j returns of the New York Chronicle, j are $1 5,017.000,000. an increase of 19 j per cent. This is the highest March total yet recorded, and shows that all the ground lost during the panic has : been made up. The total for March, I 1909, was 112.621,000,000; for 1908, $9. | 798,000,000; 1907, the previous high j record, $14,657,000,000; 1906, $13,007. 000,000; 1905, 112,918.000.000. Early I returns for April show continued | activity. The Increase for the first j week amounted to 11 per cent. Totals for the first three months of the year tell the same story; the 1910 figures being $ 15.267,000.000, as compared ; with $29.9T.5.000,000 in 1908 and s4l. | 817,000,000, the previous high record, lu 1906. .....

TREASURY TO SHOW SURPLUS Wist Administration of Country's Fi nances Under Republican Rule Is Proved. When th-» present congress assem bled in special session a little more than a year age economy was the watchword on every side, because the treasury was confronted with a deficit of $60,000,000 at the Mid of the fiscal year ending with June, 1909. While some improvement in revenue was expected as a result of the revision of the tariff an<' because of improving business, there was a settled belief that the fisca' year 1910 would also show a good deficit Now at the close of the tenth month of the present year the federal treas ury is found to be in a very strong position. Instead of a deficit the pres ent fiscal year now promises to close with a substantia' surplus. The gov ernment's receipts for the ten months show an increase of $50,500,000 over the corresponding ten months in 1909, the increase being shown in both tariff duties and internal revenue re ceipts. On the other hand the or dinary expenditures of the govern ment. for the same ten months have decreased about $2,000,000. The deficit for the ten months Is $16,700,000, against a deficit in the previous year of $69,236,000. But the treasury has paid out since July 1, 1909, $27,000,000 on the Panama canal account. No bonds have yet been sold to make good this expenditure, so that the treasury has really to its credit on the operations for the year so far about $10,500,000. The last two months of the fiscal year will probably show surpluses and at the end of the fiscal year the cor poration tax will be turned into the treasury, the revenue from this source amounting probably to between $25,- 000,000 and $150,000,000. This would bring the total surplus for the year up to $40,000,000. It is very clear from this that the treasury will have plenty of money for all purposes from now on, and that the nightmare of possible bond issues has passed. Barometer of Trade. The production of iron in the United States during the month of March was at a slightly smaller dally rate than prevailed during the winter, but was still higher than any earlier rec ord. The total for the month of March reached 2,615,000 tons, as com pared with 1,836,000 in March, 1909, and 1,288,000 in March, 1908. The total for the 12 months ending March 31, 1910, amounted to 27,703,000 tons, as compared with 17,611,000 tons dur ing the same period of 190S-9, and 22,166,000 tons in the corresponding period of 1907-8. Money circulation In the L'nited States continues to expand, the treas ury department's monthly statement giving the total at $3,138,000,000 ot $34.87 per capita, on April 1, 1910. In 1909 it was $34.85 and in 1908, $28.25 All Will Indorse Bill. One thing, however, has been de termined without doubt: The presi dent and the entire legislation of this congress. Including the tarifT bill en i acted at the special session, w ill be indorsed in the platform of every Re publican convention. Kven those In surgents who voted against the tariff bill admit that they must indorse now this Republican measure which has proved so successful and beniliclal to the people. It is true that the meas ure of indorsement may vary at dif ferent state conventions, but for the j most part It will be satisfactory to the president and the party leaders. There can be no criticisms of a bill that has proved to be so successful, not only in the raising of revenue but in bringing about prosperltj to nil clames of people. Right Man for Supreme Bench.

These plumes are light in weight and very beautiful. In black they have a tendency to come to pieces. For some reason the black dye so ef fects the feather that moisture makes it shrink or "crawl" and the knots un tie. But in colors they wear fairly well. Women have been buying fragile materials too long to dispense with willow plumes on that account. The natural ostrich plume with wide spread of fibers, slightly curled, should be selected if one is buying black. A good ostrich plume, moder ately heavy, and made of uniformly good stock, will prove about the most lasting article and the most satisfac tory in which the investor in mil linery can put her money. Two plumes of this character will do serv ice summer and winter. They are at their loveliest on the black picture | hat for midsummer.
