THE WASHINGTON UTTER
"What In the president going to
say nlont the tariff? Is tlio ques
tion pitch new paMirrp-txioiidl a
asks when, hn reaches Washington,
nnil they are coming In crowds.
Tho answer no man cliff Rive and it
in probably safe to say Mint Mr.
Roosevelt himself does not know.
At the Oyster Buy conference itwns
determined that it would he nnwise
to disturb the extraordinary prosper
ity t he country in now enjoying by
tampering with the tariff schedules.
When tin president cot reiidy to
write his message lie called another
conference of republican leaders and
it was determined thnt if proper
trust legislation were emicted nt Hip
short session thnt would he all it
would be reasonable to expect, that
n tariff coinniKsion could he estab
lished to investigate the situation and
report to the first session of the
Fifty-eighth Congress and that it
would then bo time enough to decide
if those tariff schedules which would
bo better for amendment were of
snfllcient importance to warrant the
attempt. Now, however, the
western members are urging the
president to expedite the work and
Chairman IiabeoeK and others say
that there must be an extra session
to deal exclusively with tariff
revision.
The subject of tariff revision was
exhaustively discussed at the cabinet
meeting held immediately after
the president's return from the
Mississippi cane-brakes and it was
determined to hold several confer
ences with the leaders of the party
to discuss the question. A confer
ence will be held today and will
probably be followed by others, as
the president wishes to give all an
opportunity to ho heard. A strik
ing instance of the local Bentiment
in regard to the tariff was furnished
recently when the president sat in
his office with Senator Lodge on one
side and Senator Burrows on the
other. "I am heartily in favor of
your Cuban treaty but I cannot
stand by you on that Newfonndland
convention ; ft would interfere with
our local interests, " said Mr. Lodge.
"On the other hand, I think that
your Newfoundland treaty is all
right and 1 shall vote to ratify it,"
said Mr. Burrows, "But! I am very
dubious nbout the Cuban treaty."
Much intorest attaches to the
tariff position of Ilopresentive Can
non. who it is gonorally concedod
will be the next speaker. In this
connection it is recalled that last
summer, after the trip he made on
the Dolphin with Secretary Moody,
Mr. Cannon was interviewed in
Washington and said, "The tariff
will be revised sometime but not at
the next session of congress, or by
the succeeding congross, unless there
is A check to the present prosperity.
The people of Illinois, so far as I
have been able to learn, are not
anxious for tariff revision. They
are anxious to continue their busi
ness affairs without interruption
causedby a long discussion ir. con
gress as to what changes should be
made."
Mr. Cannon, as speaker, will have
it in bis power to nwike or mar tue
holies of the tariff revisionists.
There will probably bo three vacan
cies in the .ways and menus com
mittee. Mr. Hopkins and probably
Mr. Long, will go to the senate and
Majjr Steele Iihs not beeu reelected.
Mossis, Biibcock and Tav.tiey are
strong revisionists within one of a
majority on tho republican side of
t lie table. TIih present indications
are, too, that the revisionists will
make a fight on the retention of
Mr. 1'avne as chairman.
The final acceptance Df the presi
dent's conditions by the Commercial
Pacific Cublo company is regarded
ns a decided triumph for the admin
istration. The company will cow
lni.it en the laying of u cublo to Hon
olulu, liuam, Manila and China
which will he stuctly American in
ownership, which will be operated
under tho regulations laid ilonu by
the president, in time of peace, and
winch will be turned ovor to the
government in the tima of war.

The Cuban situation is far from
satisfactory and is occasioning the
president much anxiety. The
Cubans are Incoming over confident
rrivnl'nr' RrB '",'inp' to regard them
selves as entirely independent 01 tne
markets and espionage of the United
States. Goneral Bliss, who has gone
to Cuba to negotiate n treaty pro
viding that while the Cuban tariff
on linKirts from the United States
shall not be changed, tint on im
ports from all other countries shall
be increased 50 per cent., and that
in consideration of this change the
United States shall allow a dis
count of 2!"i per cent, from the Ding-
ley schedules, on Cuban imports,
reports that there are many difficul
ties in the situation. The opinion
of the president and of his official
family is that the Cubans aro ex
ceedingly unwise and nngratoful
and it has been determined to make
no further concessions but to stand
by the provisions of the Piatt
amendment to the letter.
The treaty with Colombia is not
in as promising a condition as it-
was a week ago. At the last mo
ment Senor Concha ref'ised to sign
it without further instructions from
Bogota and in the meantime the ad
vocates of Nicaraguan route are
urging Secretary Hay to negotiate
a treaty with Nicaragua and with
Costa Rica o that he may submit
all to the senate next week. From
Bogota, however, comes the report
that the president of Colombia is
most friendly to the construction of
the ctuinl and that he will use every
effort to further the ends of the
United States.

The adjournment of the commission

investigate the strike of the coal
miners followed by a conference be

John Mitchell led to a belief that the
matter could be settled out of court.
An apparent basis of compromise it
was said had Ix-en reached. The
operators huve now refused to make
any agreement and insist that it w ill
be the l-st for the present to go on
with the hearing. They agree to
oppose wae advance, lessening of
hours, weighing nf coal and reccjjni

The Town's Streets
Well paved and neatly kept
streets and sidewalks speak for
themselves, and too much stress
cannot be laid npon the importance
of having and maintaining them.
The air of respectability and pros
perity impresses the stranger within
the gates and assures him that here
is a town that is vory much alive
and even with the times, and this
impression is never wrong. Parsi
mony in this respect is the antithesis
of economy, and sooner or later
the truth of this statement will
be demonstrated.
No community can afford to bear
an aspeot of dilapidation and neglect
that la foreign too real state of at
fairs, and, in fact, very few do.
We may take it as settled, then,
contrary to the words of the song,
things are nearly always what they
se -m, especially when applied to the
outward evidence to the inward
wholesomeness presented by smooth
and well kept roadways and ample
sidewalks of flagging or asphalt.
A handsome and durable roadway
for a town or country is macadam
or telford pavement properly and
scientifically constructed. For
streets where a good deal of heavy
hauling is done perhaps the square
stone blocks may be neoessay, but
the latter la only required where
the traffic is continuous and excep
tionally heavy. For all ordinary pur-
poses the broken stone pavement
ment la sufficient and easily kept in
repair.
State Hospital for the Insane
Elsewhere .will be noted an ad
vertisment tojr proposals for a
state hospital for the insane. By
the act it is provided that the com
missioners shall select a tract of
land suitable for the purposes of
said hospital at the center ot popu
lation of the distriot which embraces
the north eastern oouutius of the
state with Brad'ord on tho north,
Bucks on the south and Carbon,
Lackawanna, Lehigh and Sullivan
on the west, twelve counties in all.
Western Pike would probably meet
the requirements geographically as
being about the center of the pop
ulation and would be readily access
ible as practicable from all parts of
the district by way of the D. L. &
W. R. R. As to the requirements
of health location and good water no
section of the district exceeds in
those respects

a twinge in over a year." They
regulate the kidneys, purify the
blood and cure rheumatism, neural
nervousness, improve digt-ilion
and give perfect health. Try them,
(.inly t-uo t hll druists.
Value of Good Schools
The watchword of every citizen
who hfti the town's interests at heart
and wishes to see it grow In size and
prosperity should lie, "I will give
every dollar 1 can possibly afford to
our schools." And what Is more, he
should keep that watchword In mem
ory. A town that Is liberal In Its
Appropriations for educational pur
poses is a good town every tirm.
Poor schools are good enough for a
poor town, but a town that is full of
the true essence of "get there" will
never have anything in the educa
tional line but the very best thing
that money can buy. Benjamin
Franklin once said, "A penny saved
Is a penny earned," but a penny that
Is saved at the expense of a town's
public schools is fur from being a
penny earned.
One of the first inquiries a manu
facturer makes when he contemplates
locating in a town is concerning the
town's school facilities. In nine cases
out of ten he has a family of children,
and where he goes they must go and
where his factory is located they
must be educated. If the town has
schools that are the pride and that
have the unstinted praise of every
citizen he meets, the fact is often the
means of largely influencing him to
locate.
Good schools are never lights
hidden under a bushel. Their bril
liance is soon visible for many miles
around, and not a year passes that
scores of pupils from neighboring
towns and from outlying country
schools do not attend, and not only
assist in supporting the schools by
their tuition, but spend considerable
money annually in the stores of the
local merchants.
The Local Nowepaper
The editors of the weekly papers
take a greater interest In and do
more for the welfare of the locality in
which they live than any other class
of business men, yet they are no more
directly benefited by the results of
their public spirited efforts than the
merchants and property owners who,
perhaps, neglect to have their names
on the editor's subscription list or fail
to advertise in his paper.
In attracting trade to the town in
which it is published the immense
power a local newspaper possesses
can hardly be estimated. lie who
will impartially consider this asser
tion will be convinced of the truth of
it. The local paper is very naturally
biased in favor of the place of its pub
lication and if given a fair living
patronage by home business men will
guard well their interests, Just as the
merchant guards the interests of his
individual customer.
Hut if a niggardly support is doled
out to it and it is compelled to solicit
custom from neighboring cities it can
not do in behalf of its own town as it
otherwise would. Try a system of
litierality in tho matter of advertising
expenditure and mark the result.
A Novel Labor Cae
A caso novel in its aspects because
it is without precedent has been
brought in a New Jersey court
Vice Chancellor Grey has granted
an order to show cause why an in
junction should not issue restraining
a glass company from interfering
with the legitimate business of the
strikers. That is a labor union is
asking an injunction against a cor
poration and it raises the question
whether or not organized labor has
the same legal standing as organized
capital. Tbe union urgesalegal right
to combine to peaceably persuade me
chanics to leave or not enter employ
of a corporation against which a
strike has been declared and admits
having joined and assisted the strik
ers and now asks the court to enjoin
the company from interfering with
them in this effort. This is a great
question and some of Jersey's most
noted lawyers have been employed
by both sides. Among them former
United States Attorney General
Griggs, for the defendant company.
Water Cure lor Chronic Conttipation
Take two cups of hot water half
an hour before each meal and just
before going to bed, also a cup of
water, hot or cold, about two hours
after each meal. Take lots of out
door exercise walk, ride, drive.
Make a regular habit of this and in
many cases chronic constipation
may be cured without the use of
any medicine. When a purgative is
required take something mild and
gentle like Chamberlain's Stomach
and I.iver Tablets. For sale by A
W. Lull h and Sou, Matamoras, all

books of the Millvillo, N. J., Build

was found that the accounts of R. L.

ganization in 1874, were tlOS.OOO

the concern had disappearad exoept

Mr. Cleveland's fear that the Re
publicans would steal "tariff reform"
away from the democrats smacked a
good deal of the -campaign orator,
and was hardly up to the usual
Cleveland utterance ponderous, but-
measurably sincere. There is a large
and deep chasm between democratic
tariff reform and republican revision
of the tariff.
Those who know, or who are sup
posed to know, figure "Uncle" Joe
Cannon as the next speaker of the
House of Represenatives. One hun
dred and five votes out of the 208 in
the republican caucus will be neces
sary to insure his selection. As Bab
cock, of Wisconsin, has not allowed
his own state to endorse him, this
leaves the field in the middle west
clear for Mr Cannon. As a result 73
votes are assured for the "watch dog"
of the treasury. With the 27 votes
of Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Tennessee, Colorado, the
Dakotas, Montana, and Idaho, which
are supposed, by virtue of location,
to be with him, he will have the re
quisite 105. This, without taking
into account the vote of Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or
the Pacific Coast. The speaker re
ceives a salary of (8,000, including:
his member's pay of t5,iMX).
Reports from Boston have it that
Gov. Crane, of Massachusetts, is to
succeed Shaw as secretary ot the
Treasury. The hitter is to be given
a good foreign mission. In Wash
ington this is looked upon as merest
humor, though certain changes in
the Cabinet are imminent.
Canadian lumbermen are very
much exercised over the rumor that
the United States la to levy a duty
of tl per thousand on Canadian saw u
lumber as a reprisal for the embargo
placed on the export of pulp wood by
the provincial governments of Ontar
io and Quebec. The embargo has
crippled many paper mills of this
country, and it looks as though Can
ada can be brought to terms by such
