During their Journey ncrosB Iowa
President MeKinley and tho members
of his cabinet spent much of their
time reading and discussing the pub

supreme court In the Insular caBes
They were much Interested in the way
the court divided In the two cases
The decision In the Dolimn case If
followed in the Philippine case as It
Is assumed it would be might result
In the calling of an extra session of
congress In the Dcllmn case the court
decided that tho duties collected on
Porto Hlcan goods before congress en
acted the Foiakor law wore Illegal and
must bo refunded It is presumed that
the couit following the same lines or
reasoning will decide that the duties
collected on goods from the Philippines
were nlso Illegal and that the goods
from tho Philippines are subject to
free entry Into the United States until
congress acts ns it has already done
in tho case of Porto Itico Such a de
cision would mean if t only a refund
ing of duties heretofore collected but
would open the ports of tho United
Slates to merchandise nnd goods of
every description from tho Philip
pines until congress moots in Decem
ber It Is palpable that importers
might take advantage of this to ship
goods into tho United States through
the Philippines and thus defraud the
government of Its revenues Whether
the danger from this source Is great
enough to warrant tlio calling of con
gress In extra session is one which
will bo decided after deliberation

A DlCerencu of Opinion
The fat man is sure he lias paid his
fare to the conductor He is positive
on tills point because he had only a
nickel and It luib passed from Ills pos
session
Tho conductor is also positive with
no actual proof therefor that the fat
man has uot contributed his mite to
swell the colters of the corporation
Tie demands the fare
The fat man for obvious reasons re
fuses
lie announces in a bleat of rage that
hell see the conductor and the corpora
tion elsewhere before he yields
The other passengers are wild with
joy They have no particular loe for
the corporation they do not know the
fat man and if they met the conductor
again they would not look nt him
Passengers seldom do They are loynl
Americans
Behind the fat mans underlying
principle there Is knowledge of n six
mile walk an angry wife a cold sup
per and a neglected euchre party Ho
announces again thnt lie will see tho
conductor elsewhere lie does
He sees the conductor In the street
The fat man Is with him
The fat mans hat Is In the gutter
his cont is torn and myriad pnekages
are strewn over the field of battle
The car nnd the conductor fade from
sight and the fat man gathers up bis
bundles for the six- mile walk
Will lie sue the corporation for 500
000 He will not He remembers thnt
he spent the nickel for a Queen of tho
Backwoods clgnr Chicago Democrat
The White House Mnll liox
An amusing thing that we frequent

of the attnehes there Is the mailing
of letters In the White House letter
box by visitors to tlio city All visitors
to Washington go to the executive
mansion and many of them notice tho
letter box In the vestibule Just beforo
entering the east room Some of them
decide to mail letters there believing
that these letters Mill contain the
stamp of the White House Of courso
it would be n great thing for a distant
relative to receive a letter postmarked
at the White House
The other day an Intelligent looking
woman accompanied by bovornl grown
daughters asked mo to lend her a pen
cil 1 heard her say Wont it be love
ly to mall them a letter from here and
let them see that weve been to tho
presidents home She proceeded to
write for some time secured an envel
ope nddressed It and then proudly
dropped the epistle In our letter box
She went off with a radiant face Sho
was sure that nil her neighbors and
