REPEAL THE NEW TARIFF.

Chicago Tribune (Rep.): A bill
of a few lines, which would meet
with no Democratic opposition,
would do the work. These Congress
men say they cannot do it. They
Law great stress on the fools idea of
consistency. If they are going to be
consistent in standing by their folly
will not the people who last fall repu-
dated so many of them for it, stand
consistently by that reputation
Over fifty House members and a halt
dozen Senators have been turned out
because of their Identification with
the Mckinley bill. Probably most
of these rejected ones expect to get
back into public life. But do they
think it would be right for the peo-
pie to be so inconsistent as to let
them back? If consistency is vir-
tue in Representative, is it not also
one in a constituency! If so, the
lambs who went to the slaughter last
November, bleating out to the last
moment their devotion to the mil
bosses, will never be heard of again,
unless they repent, and that very
speedily.

The Confederate pension bill
passed hy the Arkansas Legislature
provides as follows: 500 a year to
all ex- Confederates, who, by reason
of wounds received during the war
are totally incompetent to perform
manual labor; S75 to those that lost
leo above the knee, or an arm
above the elbow; $50 to those that
have lost leg below the knee, or an
arm below the elbow; and so to all
that lost an eye, and to all INDECENT
widows of Confederates remaining
unmarried, and all other Confeder-
ate soldiers or sailors who are by
reason of wounds unable to perform
manuel service. The application
for pensions must be filed in the
County court by first of July in each
year, and the county judge, sheriff
and county clerk constitute the
county pension board, who forward
the applications to the auditor, and
for which they receive no fees, and
the governor, Encouragement and
auditor constitute the State board.
The act levies a State tax of one
fourth of one mill to carry out its
provisions, $4,000 of which fund SO
raised shall be applied to the sup
port of the Confederate Home at
Little Rock, where all INDECENT Con-
federates will be kindly cared for.
The bill makes it misdemeanor,
subject to a fine of s25 to 5000 for
any lawyer or other person found
guilty of exacting fees from any ben
efciary in seeking pensions under
this act

passes that he does not call to see
her, and she generally meets him at
the door with kiss and an affection

with interest.
A few nights ago he had a very
disagreeable adventure. He did not
tell it himself, but the young lady
told a bosom friend, who told anoth-
err friend, and so it went until il
finally reached the ears Of a Town
Talker. The night was cold and
disagreeable. lie had an engage
ment at s o'clock, so went TO the
home of his fiancee earlier than
usual. He reached the door and
found that the gas had not been
lighted.
The bell was pulled. A light
and an airy step was heard tripping
rapidly down the steps, and his
heart beat rapidly as he thought OF
those dear arms that would be around
his neck in few seconds. The door
was thrown open. His arms were
thrown around her fair neck. He
placed his hand gently under her
chin, raised it and imprinted several
kisses upon her lips. He was rather
surprised that his kisses met not
with the usual response.
The door was closed, his overcoat
removed, and he turned, struck a
match and lit the gas. lie then
turned to take his sweetheart again
to his arms, when he was Mortified
to see the black house girl instead OF
his sweetheart. At the same time a
merry laugh iloated down the steps.
He rushed for the parlor and hid him
self. His life is being made misera-
bile ever since the joke became pub

The first railway built in the Unit
cd States was three miles in length,
extending from the granite quarries
at Quincy, Mass, to the Neponsett
river. 1t was commenced in 1926
and finished in 1927. The guagc
was five feet; the rails were pine a
foot thick, covered with hard oak
which was in turn strapped with
iron. In January, 1927, a shot. coal
road was completed from the mines
to Mauch Chunk, Pa. The rails on
this road were also of timber with
flat iron bars. The first locomotive
for use on a railroad was invented by
Richard Previteck in 1904, and first
tried in Wales. Geo. Stephenson
built the first really successful loco
motive in 1914, and tested it upon
the killingwood road in the north of
England. The first locomotive for
actual service constructed in Ameri-
ca was f. l. Miller's ''Best Friend, -
built for the South Carolina Railroad
Company in 1880; Peter Cooper
built little experimental locomo-
tive early in 1880, before the BEST

The story is anoat that the President. in view
Of the recent poll of the Indiana legislature.
which was said to have showed a majority in
favor OF the nomination Of Blaine, has decided
to pacify the republicans of his own state
represented by Treasurer Huston by appoint
ing him to be minister to Russia in place Of
Chas Emory Smith, who is understood
to have rendered his resignation. The absence
OF Mr.. Huston in Indiana and Of the President
in his duck blinds and the natural disinclina-
ton Of Private Secretary Halford TO talk leave
little chance for final denial or confirmation
Of this story to be obtained. Mr.. Huston is
practically out Of the treasury. That fact is
well established, but there is nothing to lead
one to believe that Huston's threats against the
political future of the President will be carried
out. or, If carried out, will have much effect in
Indiana
THAT LEGISLATIVE POLL.
In the first place the poll Of the legislature
that has caused much talk has not been ac-
curately represented. A reporter of TIE STAR
was told this morning by lone who know,
that the poll of thirty-two members Of the
Indiana house and senate showed seven
teen with Harrison preferences, as against
others scattering. The house members were
evenly divided, ten for Harrison
and ten for Blaine. The STARS s informant the
strongest sort Of friend Of the administration,
said: Mr.. Blaine has always been q great ia
vorite in Indiana. and think that il shows the
popularity rather than the unpopularity of the
President for him to show up as he did against
Blaine. The figures have been grossly twisted
and distorted. and the facts have gone out in
An entirely erroneous shape"
THE PRESIDENT on THE LOOKOUT.
1t is being generally accepted that the Presi-
dents political eyes are sharply watching the
horizon and taking in everything akin to a sign
Of the times that may have bearing on his fu-
ture. The publication a few days ago Of .
long news letter signed by close friend of the
President is one of the most convincing indica-
tions that the President wants a denomination.
This letter, several columns in length. was q re-
sumo Of the work of the administration and
claim for public approval. 1t was not private
scheme, written by an individual journalist,
but was prepared under the semi-oficial aus
pices of the executive departments.
THE INFORMATION WAS OFFICIAL.
The information thus spread abroad was OBJ
tanned through official sources and drawn from
the sub-branches and bureaus through the
medium Of requests from the cabinet officers.
The document. therefore. had the stamp and
flavor of an executive announcement. and as
such it was significant.
II is thought to be part Of the Presidents
program to heal the Huston wound in Indiana
by the appointment Of Lemcke. who is very
popular in hoosierland. His recent successful
efforts to fund the state debt have raised him
in the estimation of both parties in the state.
and his selection for this honor is sure to be
appreciated by even the disgruntled politicians
who have hitherto been less than lukewarm in
their allegiance to the administration.

an exhaustive examination was made Of the
gulf coast and waters, and Of the commercial

should be had to commercial and naval
interests. It was found that the center of the
commercial interests Of the gulf lay between

shallow. The commission says that the South

from the sea to be safe from gun-fre. On the
shores Of the river the primary requisites for
Gite are found. The bank Of the river ON the
Algiers side from the Southern Pacific railroad
