AN HONEST EXPOSITION.

Judge WILLIAM D. KELLEY, of
Pennsylvania, the leader Of the pro-
tectiOniSts in the lower house Of con-
gress, is a straightforward old man, who
has always made it rule to call things
by their right names and to put an hon
est Interpretation on party platforms.
The fact that he is considered cranky
on the tariff question does not remove
the fact that he is, and has been for the
last quarter OF century, the represent
atiye of Republican ideas on this ques-
ton and the leader of his party in all
tariff contests. Therefore, whatever
Judge KELLEY says OH this subject is
accepted as sound Republican doctrine.
In a recent tariff speech in congress,
Judge KELLEY said that the free whisky
and free tobacco plank in the Chicago
platform was because the Republicans
want high tariff taxes continued.
Speaking as a Republican and as a
representative of the Republican party,
he heroically proclaimed and defended
what most of the party leaders in this
section of the country are decrying or
lodging.
Judge KELLEY is too honest and too
courageous to resort to the Subterfuges
employed by the Republican press and
Republican managers in the Northwest
to cover up the meaning of the Chicago
platform. He does not assent to the
doctrine preached by Republicans in
this part of the country, that the Chi
cago platform admits of an Interpretation
which would place the Republican party
in the attitude of fayoring tariff reform
or tax reduction. He says that it
doesn't mean anything of the sort. On
the contrary, it means just what it says,
that the high tariff shall be continued,
and that the free whisky and free to-
bacco clause is advocated because it
will furnish something like an excuse
for continuing the war taxes.
1t is in sad contrast with Judge
KELLEY'S bold proclamation of Repub-
1ican doctrine we witness the cowardlv
evasion practiced by the Republican
leaders of this section in their treatment
of the tariff. They make a studied eff
fort to hoodwink the voters by adopting
tariff resolutions in their local conyen-
tions, and then saying that these reso-
lutionS harmonic with the Chicago
platform. According to a true Indian
definition, the Republican leaders of the
Northwest are Observation-Disclosures

A Foolish Indianian.

Eight years ago r. c. Parsons quar-
relied with his reletatives in Indiana
about property and went to New Mex
leo, vowing that he would not return to
his old home until he was worth as
much money as all his relatives put to-
gether. He became mining pros
pector with poor success until year
ago, when he discovered and opened a
splendid mine near White Oaks. He
received an offer OF 100000 for half
interest in the property and refused it.
Then S150,00O was offered him for half
interest. This he also refused, saving
that he must have 100000 in order that
he might return to Indiana. He
couldn't get the s500,0O0, and so, there
fore, killed himself. dying without a
cent in his pocket. The mine, which
will readily sell for $780, 200, will go to

Berlin Women Not Pretty.

Russian opera [ had heard, writes
Blakely Hall in the San Francisco Ar
gonaut. 1t was interesting because the
music and the singing were so much
like the Italian school. The people are
great theater-goers here, and the art of
acting and singing is far beyond the
general average OF our own stage. s. The
accessories, such as scenery, costumes
and pretty feminine faces. are lacking.
1t seems odd, even yet, to go to an
opera or play at $3.50 and
walk out in the courtyard of the
theater for a cigarette after an act
or two, and find it still broad daylight.
Almost 10 one wears evening clothes in
Berlin. The women are obliged by
east-iron law to take off their hats, and
it's a wonderful comfort, too, to the men.
Berlin women are not pretty by any
means. In Vienna plain woman is
rarity-here pretty woman is much
more rare. Beer does it, l fancy. A
woman of twenty-five with anything
approaching figure is seldom to be en-
countered on the Berlin streets. 1t is
beer always and ever. The gowns are
ill-fitting, the shoulders round and the
faces heavy and pudgy. 1t is
not the healthy, rosy plumpness
that often goes with maturity in Eng
land and America, but the colorless and
fluffy accumulation of fat that has
none of the elements of beauty in it.
They neither sit nor stand erect. OF
course this is mere generalization, and

readers of the Argonaut will not rise at
once and pepper the paper with mis-
sives. proving at length, and with un-
questionable force of logic, that am an
ass and in no way qualified to Judge. L
do not mind such criticisms; | merely
wish to point out that it is futile, be-
cause L expect to go on making such re-
marks as these for some time to come.

Theodore F. Hallam, of Covngton,
KY, is the only man in the United
States who has an official right to the
title of "Mister." When Proctor Knott
was elected governor of Kentucky he
wrote to Hallam that he would like very
much to make him member of his mil
itary staff, with the title of colonel.
Hallam wrote back that he was obliged
to him, but thought there were too
many colonies in Kentucky already;
however, he would like very much to be
on Knott's staff and if Knott could ap-
point him as plain mister he would
very gladly accept. By return mail he
got his commission as ''mister" on the
governors staff, document which now
hangs in handsome frame on the wall
of his office.

TURERCUIGSIS

How our old ideas are vanishing
under the sunlight which science is
shedding upon the world. The first
international tuberculosis congress.
which has just been held in Paris, and
adjourned last Saturday, rendered its
deliberate judgment that the COW is
mankind's worst enemy. How contrary
is this to the traditions of the past. For
nearly 6,000 years the COW has been wet
nurse for the human family; if she has
not been the staff of life. she certainly
has furnished the lacteal fluid for the
nouriShment of the millions; and now.
after all that she has been to man.

centuries in the relation of godmother.

Ity, it is absolutely worrying to be told
by congress composed of earth's
most eminent scientists that Old
Brindle is really our worst enemy and
has always been mankind'S deadliest
foe.
1t is too bad to have our reverence to
the COW dethrOned in this ruthless man.
her, vet We cannot be Indifferent to the
teachings of science. The International
Tuberculosis unanimously agreed that
the cow was the breeder of oonsump-
ton and all other forms of tubercular
diseases. The congress was of opinion
that the various forms of tuberculosis
including consumption. scrofula, menin-
gitis,and even peritonitiS-were directly
traceable to diseased milk or meat.
Thus the COW and her brother, the OK,
are held responsible for over one-fifth
of the deaths which annually occur.
DR. VILLEMIN said that men and women
are constantly giving tuberculosis to
cattle and getting it back through meat
and milk. This is how many cases
happen" he goes on to explain. "a
consumptive, engaged in a dairy,
coughs, spitS on a bundle of
hay; the COW eats the hay
and gets the disease. The same
COW is milled; some one drinks
the milk, and if apt to take the disease
he gets the consumption. Many strong
people, of course, escape; and in a gen
eral way, the stronger the general health
and constitution the less likely is the
person to get the infection. But the
proportion liable is very large. Over
one-fifth of the population of the world
dies of tuberculosis. In France alone
nearly 100000 yearly perish"

gress against the cow and her death

Republican Senators Are Hump

Substitute for the Mills Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE senate
tariff subcommittee is still at work
early and late upon the details of tine
tariff bill, with the determination of
possibly making all necessary changes
in the original draft before it is re-
ported to the full committee or the
senate, expecting thereby to bring out a
measure which the majority in the SEN
ate can stand by as whole. 1t is at
the same time giving brief, informal
hearings to all who come. 1t be-
gins this morning the final re-
vision of the measure in detail,
and hopes to have the work COM
pleted this week. There is probable
ity that three or four controverted
points will be passed over by the SUBJ
committee for the present, and a poSsi-
bility that they may be submitted to a
caucus far ultimate decision. The reg
ular weekly meeting of the finance COM
mittee, which takes place Tuesday, was
not held to-day. 1t is expected that the
Democrats of the finance committee will
not care to delay the measure in the
committee, but it is thought probable
that they will reserve such criticism as
they may have to make for the debate
in ODeQ session.

A RED BLANKET CAUSED 1T.

v
sus a German Woman, a Coffee
Pot and a Broomstick.
A Chicago constable, armed with a
warrant, had fight yesterday with a
woman armed with broomstick and a
coffee pot. The constable and warrant
won. 1t was all about red blanket.
Peter F. Reynolds accused Mrs. Fred
erica Bergin, of 1887 Fulton street, of
having appropriated his red blanket.
and Constable White, of Justice Hume's
court, undertook to arrest Mrs. Bergin.
There it was Mr.. White made bad
break.
When he reached the house Mrs. Ber-
gin confronted him at the door and in
quired:
''Was wollen sic habene"
"Oi want yez, begob," replied the
constable.
At that Mrs. Bergin caught I'D a
coffee pot and swiped him over the head
with it. Then she jabbed him in the
eye with the broomstick and screamed.
The constable withdrew in disgust
to the sidewalk. Mrs. Bergin
got down in the doorway on all
tours and stayed there while Mr.
White politely crawled through a win
dow and found the blanket. Then he
again tackled Mrs. Bergin and subdued
her. Tucking her under his arm de-
spite her kicks and screams, he carried
her to patrol box and called wagon.
Mrs. Bergin will tell Justice Blume
what she knows about the red blanket

An Extraordinary Suicide.

The suicide in the Rue La Guerre
bears the marks of genius. In a room
whose windows were all closed a head
less body was found lying upon rude
guillotine. A note held in one hand of
the dead man said it was useless to at
tempt to discover his identity, for he
had made arrangements which would
prevent the head from ever being found.
Sure enough, the body lay headless i'm a
closed room, and the head could no.
where be found. The man was buried
as one unknown, and the case bade fair
to grow dusty in the pigeon-holes of the
curator of mysteries. A few days after
this event peasant in a department
distant some 200 miles away was at
tracted by peculiar object in
the branches of tree. In
PEELED by curiosity he exam
ined more closely and found~a
human head attached by a cord to
small silken balloon. He reported the
affair to the nearest sergeant of the
gendarmerie, and mystery number two
was given due prominence. By combi-
nation of the two mysteries it became
clear how the suicide disposed of the
head, which, being restored, served to
identify him. But how the balloon with
the head attached escaped from closed
room none have ever been able to ex-
plain.-Paris Letter.
