Tariff Pfomliiei and Proipeols.
After six months' labor tho demo
cratic congress has brought forth tho
dQinocratlc tariff. The, njcasurq, .al
though greatly transformed enrouto
since Its original Introduction, . .has
boen put through .by prapticaily a
strict party vote, and will go on the
statute books as performance of tho
platform pledge- upon which tho dem
ocrats went Into power.
Tho aVowod purpose of the new
tariff is to readjust tho burdens ot
federal taxation in such a way as to
rolleve the consuming masses and
make them weigh heavier upon ac
cumulated, woalth, thus reducing the
high cost of living without disturbing
business, reducing wages or Jncrons
ing unemployment Tho real test
gaugo, thoreforo, must bo the effect
of tho now tariff upon the prices of
necessaries, and upon tho aggrcgato
living expeuses of tho.avorago family,
If tho democratic tariff will accom
pllsh' what is expected ot it, and what
was promised or it, evoryono will
rejolco, but oven President Wilson is
already hedging by saying that tho
tariff will only affect living cost
lowly and indirectly. Apparently
tho democrats themselves' are not
quito so confident now aa they pro
tended to bo that tariff reduction Is
tho whole ablution, and onjy solution,
of our Industrial .problem.
Well Handled Crowds,

gestion, the crowds havo boen excep
tionally .well handled. White the
people who turn out for a parado are
as a rulo orderly and wpll behaved,
there would;bo blockades and' clashes
oxcopt for tho tactful direction of tho

ing worse in "Wall street than this truit
with Coldnol James II. Bulla, Governor
orentaQs adviser, aa president of this
commne. Nono can do business In tho

tldn. M. Magney was absent from his
office, so t put mycaso up to one of
nis assistants, who paid marked atten.
tlon to It but advised me to seo Mr,
Magney, himself. If Mr. Magney falls
to, enforce tho law and violates his oath
ot ornee. like his Predecessors, I shall
tako tho subject-matter up with the
state's attorney and tho United States
attorney general. If I believe It neces
sary I will call Secretary Bryan's and
President Wilson's attention to how the
farmers and everybody else are fleeced
by the stock yards or beef trust and
how the workmen In South Omaha are
In an abject state .of serfdom with this
trust If Mr. Magnoy does his duty ho
can send some of these fellows to the
"pen," and I know whereof I apeak. The
only redress the oppressed and perse
cuted people will get from this combine
is tc have the state own the slock

laborer squarely as cltlcens and not aa

"Full steam ahead with homerule!1'
Is tho answer John Redmond makes to

Ireland . In the British Parliament Not

three-fourths of Ireland, but also the
sentiments of one-half of the 'population
of Ulster, a .province which It jnlght be
Inferred from Belfast reports Is' a' unit
against home, rule. Tho Belfast tuoats
of secession and revolution when home
rule comes Mr. Redmond denounces as
ridiculous, classing the demonstrations of
tho Qrange army marching with' wooden
Buna as a picturesque means of au'pptylng
amy season copy for the press. It l a
fact of much significance that corre
spondents of New fork newspapers at
London and Belfast alsed up the tteirast
demonstrations as Mr. Itedmond does in
their 'dispatches last Sunday. Tho Im
partial observers on the spot regard the
successive vocal threats as a -unionist
party scheme pulled off for political ef
fect in England, Tho' New York Tribune
correspondent at London exposes tho
roots of the movement by showinr .Sir
Edward Carson's consumltr. ambition for
tha leadership of the unionist party.
Nothing short of unionist success at the
polls will gratify that ambition, and the
hope of success lies in forclnir an earlv

measure. All three measures strike at

Iclsed Japanese methods of deaiinir
the natives and ridiculed the insufficiency

now makes answer to these criticisms by
sending abroad a bulky official report of
tho governor general of Chosen for tho
fiscal year ending with March, 1912. Tho
report is printed In English and Is Illus
trated with excellent half-tone pictures
of Industrial and agricultural activities
and colored maps. At tho outset of an
ncxatlon the Imperial government set
asiae a donation fund of 70,000,000 yen
(about UB,000,000), tha Income of which Is
oemg disbursed for educational, Indus
inai ana agricultural purposes. Up to
the end of tho fiscal year covered -by the
report 134 public common schools were
established and subsidies wero granted to
333 private schools. Training stations
were also established in arloultur.
weaving and the manufacture of paper,
muioerry cultivation -and aeedling schools.

Uplift of Chinese Woaei.
The transition of China from a mon
archy to a republic In name waa to the
outside world no less surprising than la
tho revolt of Chinese women against the
bondage of ancient customs. Writing to
the New York Independent on this start
ling phasa of the oriental upheaval, Rev.
Charles Bone ot Hong Kong, a, missionary
In south China for, twenty-five yearo,
traces back to tha missionaries schools
the educational Influences which have
abolished footblndlng, and struck down
mo ancient custom wntch made marrlaxe
the aole destiny of' women. The national
schools of China now are vastly greater
in number than the missionary . schools
and the teachers aro mostly women.
There are a number ot societies of young
giria pledged to resist the will of their
parents about marriage, and societies of
nuns are Increasing. Teaching, medicine
and nursing are tbo professions which
attract the bachelor maids. During tha
revolution which overthrew tho Manchu
dynasty the women folks astonished the
men by their warlike spirit They formed
themselves into fighting battalions- and
marched northward to meet the foe, but
escaped doing execution on the enemv
by the surrender of the latter. With equaT
lervor ana impetuosity they are .now
rushing into politics ' and demanding a
