Alaska and the Salad.
At fc recent function in Washington
John W. Foster, the diplomat and ex
secretary of state, was sent by Mrs.
Foster to get her some salad. He
procured a plate of the dainty and
was returning with it when some one
asked him a question about the Alas
ka boundary. Mr. Foster has a fad
on that subject. He began to talk
earnestly. Then he gesticulated. The
result was that the salad slid grace
fully off the plate and landed full on
the front breadth of Mrs. Foster's
magnificent dress. The conversation
about the Alaskan boundary ended
right there. Mr. Foster had more se
rious things to think about.
Taking Down Beerbohm Tree.
Beerbohm Tree, the London actor,
has rather a pompous manner, which
is calculated to ruffle the temper of
other people at times. An actor from
the provinces called upon him recent

show his worth on the metropolitan
stage. "Oh. I could not possibly give
you a part." said the great manager,
"but I dare say I could arrange to let
you walk on with the crowd in the
last act." The young aspirant flushed
with Indignation, but holding himself
well in hand replied pleasantly: "My
uear Mr. Tree, I really don't think I
have heard anything quite so funny

Not long ago Sir Richard Powell, a

his august patient Sir Richard said in
his characteristically brusque way:
"You have eaten and drunk too much.
I will send you a prescription that will
put you right." Then he hurried out
to see other patients, when Sir Fran
cis followed and protested against his
abrupt way of treating the king. "My
dear leaking." said Powell, "if there
is any squirming to do you return and
attend tJ it. I really haven't the

"Ever-Burning" Lamp.
The famous lamp of Towneley chap

recently been extinguished. This was
probably the last of the so-called "ever

claimed that the Towneley lamp had
been burning constantly since the days
of King Alfred more than 1000 years.
At the beginning of the last century
half a dozen were still alight, while
at the dissolution of Henry VIII many
hundreds alight In the monasteries

! TARIFF QUESTION DISTURBING
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Rank and File Getting Out of Patience
With Congress Only Hope for Re
form Lies in Active Co-operation
With the Democrats.
It has long been apparent that the
Republican party is threatened with a
serious schism on the tariff question.
Hie high protectionists of the Pro
tective Tariff league and the Home
Market club are determined to resist
any change In the Dingley tariff rates
Even reciprocity to them is a delu
slon and a snare to entrap the unwary
Republican who votes for it. as It re
sults in a reduction of protection to
some industries.
The other and minor faction of the
Republican party Is so convinced of
fatal political results if some conces
sions to the trust-ridden public are
not allowed, that they are willing to
see a slight reduction of duties to ap
pease the people. There is also quite
an clement of the Republican party in
many of the states, headed by manu
facturers, who demand free raw ma
terials, who find they cannot compete
with England Germany and France in
the markets of the world anless these
concessions are granted th?m. These
manufacturers joined with a large
number of exporters and dealers, are
organized, and a branch of their or
ganization has headquarters in Chi
cago and embraces the most promi
nent men of Chicago, St. Paul, Minne
apolis and Duluth, and haa also in
cluded in its membership many oth
ers from all parts of the Northwestern
states. This organization has lately
had in Washington its attorney, Hon.
Eugene Hay of Minneapolis, and he
voices their sentiments and demands
in an interview in which he said:
"The people of the West are out of
all patience with Congress. They be
lieve in the President; he has their
confidence as no President has had
since Lincoln. It was this belief in
him that saved to the Republicans
the Congressional elections last fall.
A Sketch in Oil.
Baltimore Herald.
but it Is extremely doubtful if his in
fluence alone will save us in 1904. The
people reason that if as fearless, hon
est and aggressive a President as
President Roosevelt can do nothing
' o bring a Republican Congress to an
-inderstanding of its duty, then no Re
publican President could. When they
each this frame of mind it requires
10 political seer to foretell the result.
They demand legislation to regulate
the trusts, and ther demand intelli
gent tariff legislation. In
the Northwest the people are not dis
satisfied with their own representa
tives in the House and Senate. In the
main, they are well satisfied with
them; but they appreciate that both
they and the President are powerless
to influence legislation under the vi
cious parliamentary system that haa
grown up. This system renders it
possible for a few representatives,
not of the people, but of special inter
ests, to prevent needed legislation.
The Representative or Senator who
could successfully lead a movement
for parliamentary reform would re
ceive the benedictions of the Ameri
can people."
Mr. Hay and his organization evi
dently do not appreciate the fact that
the same oligarchy that has since 1897
controlled Congress will again be in
command when the Fifty-eighth Con
gress is organized, the only important
change being that Mr. Cannan will be
Speaker instead of Mr. Henderson.
The chairmen of about all the impor
tant committees, who have so much
influence in reporting legislation, will
again be appointed and the ultro pro
tection gang will still be on top. Mr.
Hay and those whom he represents
will also have to disabuse their minds
of the fallacy that President Roose
velt desires tariff reform, for he
stated in his speech at Cincinnati last
fall that the tariff did not affect the
trusts and that protection must be
preserved. If President Roosevelt
favors tariff reform he has never rec
ommended it to the present Congress,
nor will he to the next. He wants the
Cuban reciprocity treaty ratified and
may favor the fisheries treaty, though
that is doubtful, for Senator Lodge,
his chief political adviser, ii opposed
to it. President Roosevelt has the
reputation amongst those who do not
know him, of being a great reformer,
but the only reform he is ct present
intent upon is to induce tho Republi
can party to change its policy of never
nominating as its candidate anyone
who has been Vice President. That
reform is occupying all his time and
attention, and his most strenuous ef
forts will be entirely confined to that
until the national Republican conven
tion meets.
The only chance for those Republi
cans who are anxious for political or
business reasons to see the tariff re
formed by the next Congress is to in
duce sixteen Republican members of
the House of Representatives to vote
with the Democrats to pass such a
bill. The Republican majority In the
next Congress is thirty, and a change
of sixteen can elect whom they wish
as Speaker, change the rules that now
give the oligarchy complete control
and the same combination could pass
any legislation they may deem best.
The Senate would in all probability
refuse to pass such reform measures,
but popular opinion is very powerful
just before a national campaign and
such a miracle is just possible. But
don't count on Teddy until after the
Republican national convention has
either nominated him for President op
turned him down for someone else
in the latter case, look out for squalls
The Whiie House will be a warm
place ii that event, and any old thing
may happen.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Is a Subterfuge to Postpone Tariff Re.
form Until After the Procidentia
Election.
The protectionists themselves do not
seem to be able to agree on the per
sonnel of the tariff commission they
are so anxious to see Congress author
ize. One school thinks a non-partisan
commission would be most available
and another school will only approve
of a bi-partisan commission. It is
difficult to see how any commission
can be selected that would report a
satisfactory bill or amendment to the
present Dingley law, unless they agre
politically with the majority of Con
gress that has to finally approve the
changes. If a commission was com
posed of one-half protectionists and
the other half tariff reformers, they
could never agree on the changes that
should be made. In fact the protec
tionists desire no change unless it will
increase the present rates. History
shows that the Republicans have al
ways reformed the tariff upwards. A
non-partisan commission is hardly pos
sible, if those appointed are skilled in
the intricacies of the tariff, for any
one who has investigated its com
plications must have a decided bent
either towards protection, or tariff
for revenue, or free trade.
If such a commission consisted of
five men, two protectionists and two
tariff reformers and the fifth member
was selected as a non-partisan that is
neither a protectionist nor a tariff re
former, what would result? The non
partisan member must agree on a re
port which either the one side or the
other consider desirable or no major
ity report would be forthcoming, or if
he could not agree with either side,
a deadlock would result.
Is not a deadlock what the Republi
cans desire?
Can you find a Republican who does
not declare that the principle of pro
tection must be preserved in any. modi
fication of the present tariff law?
Those Republican congressmen who
have been elected in the Western
states by constituencies which strong
ly favored abolishing the protection to
trust productions have declared while
promising relief from the exactions of
the trusts they still adhere to protec
tion as the most fundamental doctrine
of their party. Is not the commission
plan proposed, to prevent action un
til the excitement subsides, or to trust
that other issues will in the meantime
arise and the thoughts of the voters
in the tariff reform constituencies can
be concentrated upon them to the ex
clusion of tariff reform?
It is impossible to overcome the
facts that point to the tariff commis
sion as a means to gain time and
postpone consideration of tariff re
forms until after the presidential elec
tion.
Trusts Will Not Be Harmed.
The New York Press, one of the
rock-ribbed G. O. P. organs, is a little
worried because of the delay of the
Republicans in passing anti-trust bills,
Failure to deal with the trust question
squarely and promptly, it says, will
"tip the political conditions of the na
tion bottom side up." It then assumes
that the passage of an anti-trust bill is
assured beyond a doubt, is equivalent
to a fact accomplished, and proceeds
to congratulate its party on the good
results to follow the anti-trust legis
lation, and gives special credit to Pres
ident Roosevelt, saying, "There are
very few influences now to dispute his
power to get the legislation enacted
which he thinks necessary."
The Washington Post, another good
G. O. P. organ, takes an entirely dif
ferent view of the matter. It tells the
Press that "there is as yet not a par
ticle of evidence that the leaders in
Congress desire to do anything inim
ical to the interests of monopolistic
combines. And who is there that
imagines the power of the trusts so
decadent that they could not prevent
the passage through the Senate, be
tween this date and the 4th of March.
of any bill from which they had any
reason to apprehend trouble? The
chances are a hundred to one against
any anti-trust legislation by the 57th
Congress. The chances are a thous
and to one that, if any so-called anti
trust bill goes through, it will be as
innocent as a bread pill or a prepared
chalk imitation of morphine. The
Press shows the credulity of one who
was born yesterday."
There is no reason for these two
good Republican organs . to quarrel.
The Washington Star of Jan. 17, the
personal organ of the President, set
tled matters when it said that as the
trusts were willing to have legislation
pass the Senate, if it were not drastic,
and that as the President was not
asking for drastic legislation, but
simply wanted "some kind of action,"
an agreement would most likely be
reached with the trusts which would
"permit the enactment of mild legisla
tion regulating the trusts."
Anti-trust legislation under the aus
pices of the trusts is on the cards for
the next performance at our national
capital.
Publicity and Wolves' Teeth.
If any of us lived in a region where
wolves abounded, we should laugh to
scorn the suggestion, however high
the source from which it came, to ap
point a commission to go out and ex
amine tha age, size and strength of
the wolves' teeth. And that would
be no more farcical than the assertion
that "publicity" is the remedy for the
trust evil. If we do not desire to kill
the wolves, let us at least pull their
teeth, so that they can no longer rav
age our flocks. And we shall pull
their teeth the moment we deprive
them of their privileges. Hon. Robert
Baker.
The Only Cure for the Evil.
If congress would wisely regulate
the combinations let congress repeal
the laws of its own creation out of
which the evils have grown. That is
not a difficult thing to do if the party
in power is really eager to rid the
country of the evils that have come of
these law-made monopolies.

Debate on Vote of Censure in House
of Commons and Government Sus

LONDON. When the debate on Mr.
Beckett's amendment to. the address
in reply to the king's speech was re
sumed in the house of commons tho
attack on War Secretary Broderick
was continued.
winsion ispencer Churchill, con
servative, declared Mr. Broderick's ex
pectations had only been realized in
two directions, namely, in the decrease
of the number of volunteers and in
the increase of expenditures.
There were, Mr. Churchill said.
fewer bayonets and sabres in the Brit
ish army in proportion to the number
of generals than in any army in the
world, except the Venezuelan.
The speaker further declared that
the whole army corps scheme was a
humbug and a sham, and was only
introduced with the object of militai
izing England." He asked where the
government expected the three army
corps intended for foreign service to
operate.
It was not in South Africa and such
a force was not needed on the Indian
frontier. They certainly could not
contemplate in three army corps oper
ating in Canada, because the United
States was "no more prepared to In
vade Canada than Great Britain was
prepared to invade the United States
The house finally rejected tho
amendment by 261 to 145.
The division revealed fewer defec
tions in the unionist ranks than had
been expected, only about a dozen
unionists voting against the govern
ment, while the nationalists abstain
ed, walking out in a body when the
division was called.
In the course of the debate Herbert
Asquith expressed the general feeling
when he remarked that the debate was
of greater significance than the divis
ion, and would be remembered long
after the Sixth army corps had van
ished into thin air.
Premier Balfour, in closing the de
bate for the government, compliment
ed Mr. Asquith on going to the heart
of the question. He said the fleet
stood first, but there were limits to
the uses of a fleet. It was impossible
to bring a war to an end with a fleet,
which could not strike a decisive blow
at most enemies with which Great
Britain might meet without a strong
attacking force of soldiers, and it
would be folly to deprive the country
of a means of offensive action in the
event of an emergency. Mr. Balfour
contended that three army corps were
necessary to protect the empire. They
had to consider the defense of India.
He regarded a war between Great
Britain and Russia as in the highest
degree improbable, but it was impos
sible to forget that the Indian fron
tier was the key to Great Britain's
military position in the event of such
a war, and without being an alarmist,
he wished to impress upon them that
events moved rapidly in central Asia.
"We have to consider," continued
the premier, "how far the strategical
position of Russia improves year by
year. The Indian rrontier is tne oniy
part of the empire adjacent to a first
class military power, and in the im
probable and unhappy event of a war
with Russia we should require not
only all the available forces in India.
but all the forces that Mr. Broderick's
scheme places at the disposal of the
crown."

Spread of the Drug Habit.
With the facts brought to light by
the state board of pharmacy, which
has secured indictments against cer
tain druggists alleged to have sold co
caine illegally, the need of energetic,
concerted action to suppress the durg
hat it becomes apparent. The most
dangerous feature of the abuse of
drugs Is that once established in a
community it becomes almost ineradi
cable. A few of the victims are cured,
but the others do not escape its
clutches until they die, and meanwhile
the vice is steadily securing new re
cruits. There is reason to fear that
were it left unchecked the indulgence
in cocaine, opium, chloral and similar
drugs might become as great a menace
as drunkenness.
In its effort to stamp out the habit
by preventing the sale of these drugs,
the board of pharmacy should have
active support not only from boards of
health and states' attorneys, but from
the druggists themselves, both indi
vidually and through their associa
tions. It would be a wise and timely
action for druggists to take the in
itiative In discountenancing the at
tempt to gain profit in this way. It
should hardly be necessary to add that
a conscientious physician who finds it
necessary to prescribe drugs for his
patients owes it to society to exert
every precaution to keep his patients
from becoming habituated to their use.

French Taught by Phonograph.
They are beginning to use the phon
ograph in teaching foreign languages.
If French, for example, is the language
under study, a native of France talks
into the phonograph and the record
is sent to the pupil, who with the aid
of a phonograph ot his own, hears
'the correctly spoken French and tries
'to reproduce it with his own vocal or
gans. The results thus obtained are
no doubt better than the student could
achieve by studying the language from
books and guessing at the pronuncia
tion, and the phonograph method
might be employed advantageously by
educational establishments which un
dertake to teach the modern languages,
but cannot afford to employ fully com
petent instructors. Oh, yes. there are
such institutions. One of them is the
United States Military academy at
West Point, where one man has sole
charge of the department of modern
languages, including English, French
and Spanish. They have a French
speaking phonograph at "the Point,"
and Superintendent Mills says it is a
"wonderful help." He thinks that It
would be well enough to have a Span
lard and a Frenchman to talk to the
cadets, in class, in their respective
tongues. Superintendent Mills' con
clusion seems reasonable. But the
United States is so poor! Rochester

Genesis of a Humorist.
It has been generally believed that
humorists are born, not made, and that
fate, not accident. Is to be blamed for
the existence cf "funny" men. Tho
New York Times raps these theories
by declaring that Chauneey M. Depew
became a humorist by accident. Karly
in life Chauneey was squashed under
an omnibus upset by impact with a
wagon loaded with bottles of ink.
When dug out he was asked how he
felt, and responded: "I feel as though
an inkybus had been removed from
my breast!"
