The public Is assured by the New York
Tribune that the members OF the Pan
American congress are representatives OF
countries surrounded by high tariff
wall.
or course they are. and the Tribune
might have added that these representa-
tives have no more power to alter or
amend the high tariff than body of
barn storming showmeu. While here
they will have good time feasting and
riding about the country, while free
trade England is swapping cloth. iron
and tin for South American products for
the benefit of English manufacturers and
consumers Of manufactured products.
England is not inviting any commercial
pow-wows with the representatives Of
South America, besides, she iinds IL more
profitable to deal directly with the pro-
ducers and consumers who do not care a
rap for American sentiment that is not
backed up with well made and low priced
goods.
After this so.called congress will have
adjourned. we will be no nearer to free
trade relations with South America than
we are now; nor will we as people be a
whit the wiser for this visit OF the repre-
sentatives OF countries surrounded by a
high tariff will" 1t is very seldom that
visiting statesmen have accomplished
anything OF benefit to others and IL this
group of visitors are no better and wiser
than those who gave them welcome
speech, neither England. nor Germany.
nor Spain need be at all alarmed for the
safety of their trade relations with the
people OF South America who value wit

NEW YoRK, Oct 16-The constitutionality
Of the grain elevator law was affirmed in
decision from the court Of appeals, handed
down at Albany yesterday. The law fixss the
maximum rate "for elevatng, weighing, and
discharging grain" at Y Of a cent per bushsl,
and provides that ain the process of handling
grain by means of floating or stationary ele-
vators, the lake vessels or propellers, the
ocean vessels or steamships, and canal boats,
shall only be required TO pay the actual cost
of trimming or shovelng to the leg OF the
elevator when unloading, and trimming
cargo when load"
Invites Them to the Polls
Judge Andrews opinion sets forth that
the main question Is whether the legislation
fixing the maximum charge for elevating
grain contained in the act Is valid and con-
stitutionaL There is remedy at the polls,
Judge Andrews says "and it is an efficisnt
remedy if the legislation Is oppressive and
unjust The remedy by taking away the
power of the legislature to act at all would
be radical and complete The division OF
opinion in this and other courts is evidence
of the difficulty which surrounds the ques =
ton, but it is ever to b. rememb red that a
statute must stand so long as any reasonable
doubt can be INDUCED in favor Of its consti-
tutionality."

The Only Portrait of Columbus.

On the top floor of a house in Clinton
Place, N. Y, is the studio of a French
artist of advanced years and venerable
aspect, who possessos-if certain theo-
ries he holds be correct-ono of the most
interesting bits of canvas in the United
States. 1t is claimed that the picture
was painted some four hundred years
ago, and that it is a portrait painted
from life of Christopher Columbus, the
discoverer of America. This supposi-
tious portrait of the great d~iscoyerer
bears a most blackencd and dilapidated
appearance. Close examination dis
closes that strip has been torn away
from one of the corners, and that the
canvas consists of two pieces very deity
sewn together down tho center. The
portrait, which is worked out with the
minutest attention to detail, is that of
an elderly man, whose white hair crowns
a wan, rather sallow-looking face. Be
tween the fingers of the uplifted right
hand is an egg.-Once a Week
