Interfere" The public was, however,
10th to take Mr.. BLAINE at his word in
this as in various other matters that
might be mentioned. and strenuOuSly
demanded protection against the grasp
ing greed Of the money barons, who, Sc
cure from foreign competition by reason
of prohibitory tariffs, were combining
to put extortiOnate prices on the nee
eSSaries of life. This manner of
protection hardly aceords with the
tenetS of the Republican party. That
party could not consistently protect
the people against trusts. when its chief
article of faith was protection for the
trusts from the foreign competition
which would have relieved the people
by making trusts an impOsSibility- Be-

lection against the trusts the &. o. p.

predicament, and no wonder Mr..
BLAINE was aVerSe to recognizing
trusts as cutting any figure in the case
whatever. The predicament still eX-
lists, the only difference being that it is
brazened out now instead of being, as
far as possible, ignored. The Repub-
lican party has made some puerile pre-
tensions at discouraging trusts. but
trusts are the children of Its own pet
doctrine, and in the nature of
things it can take no aggress i've
stand against them. Other legisla-
ton might (aS the above quoted sec
ton of the Democratic platform asserts)
abate the worst evils arising from
trusts, but the root of the evil can be
reached only by the legislation which
abolishes the robber tariff. This is the
legislation which the Democratic party
proposes to enact if it be installed in
power at Washington. A vote for DEM
ocratic presidential electors or for Dem
ocratic congressman will be vote
against trusts.

Jealous of Alabama's high repute for

Brighter grew the relumed orient as up be-
hind the slowly drifting cloud mountains
fair Selene drove her royal train, till now
the deepened border of every peak and crag,
gilded and FURNISHED with aureate beauty,
lowered out in rosy outline against the
boundless perspective of occidental space.
Up, up moved the gorgeous procession while
the consultations grew dim and the stars
turned pale. and vanishing to their dismal
homes left no blushing rivalry to vie with the
fair, sweet face of the beautiful night queen.
Now beaming with the full and radiant gaze
of conscious purity, the chaste, wandering
princess of the skies sereuely smiled down
upon the dreaming earth as through un-
clouded grandeur she rolled her royal
chariot higher up the ethereal realms of
night
After reading that, can anybody won
der that mOonshining is so persistently

SUGGESTION FROM KANSAS.

Kansas comes to the front with Solu-
fiOn of the race problem. Kansas was
always a great hand to get itself mixed
into these little matters. There is moth
ing that state likes better than to
"wrassle" with some great problem
that hasn't any connection with raising
corn or saving wood. Its solution of
the race problem is in the hands of a
committee consisting of the Progressive
club, of Lawrence. with numerous sub
clubs and committees throughout the
state. This organization, after a cour-
Rgeous course of deep thinking, has
decided that mixed marriages are the
panacea for race troubles. It officially
promulgateS this decision, and cites in
evidence the fact that in Topeka there
are twenty-eight negroes with white
wives and seventeen white men with
negro wives, and they are all living in
dove-iike peace and harmony. That is all
right as far as it goes, but the evidence
doesn't go far enough. The world at
large would like a few particu-
lars about those twenty-eight white
wives OF black men and those seventeen
white husbands of black wives before
it unreservedly indOrseS the Topeka
plan. In the first place, are they all
hay-fever sufferers, or aren't they?
If they are Motif their olfactory
nerves are really in working order
Kansas must be given credit for valu-
able suggestion. But if, as is extremely
probable, they are only taking advant-
age of absolute olfactory impervious-
ness, their case proves nothing, and
Kansas will have 10 guess again.

WHERE CUSTOM is KING.

England is accounted progressive
country. Martially and industrially the
tight little isle is certainly very near
the baud-Wagon, if not at the actual
head of the procession of nations. But
In minor matters OF custom and habit
England is absurdIy, ludicrously I'M
progressive and ''old-timey." The
tenacity with which she clings to Gus
toms that have long outlived their use
funeSS has made her the butt of world
wide ridicule. Anything that was good
enough for his forefathers is good
enough for the loyal Briton of today.
even though something much better be
right within his reach. Gas and electric
lights are tolerated only under protest,
and the tallow candle is still the favor
Ite mode of illumination. Some pry-
ing Yankee has been inyeSti-
eating some OF the Queerest
turns which this intense English
conservatism takes, and the result reads
more like MARK TWAIN than like cold
blooded verify. For instance, the Gus
tom, still vigorously enforced, of not
allowing women to sit in the body of the
Temple church, London, has been
traced back TO its origin hundreds of
years ago, when the seats were reserved
for the monkish knights who built the
church. A sentinel at certain spot in
apublic garden in London is there be-
cause innumerabIe generations ago
there was newly painted bench at that
spot and a sentinel had to he put there
to warn good people not to carry the
paint away on their clothes. The paint
Is quite dry by this time, and, in fact,
there hasn't been any bench there of
any description, painted or au
naturel, in the memory of the
oldest Inhabitants great-grandmother
but the sentinel is there still. and there
has been an unbroken line of him there
ever since that bench was originally
painted. But the most remarkable in
stance of all is that furnished by the
birds of Great Britain. Even the birds
cling to precedent with deathless con-
Stancy. When they fly across the chan
mel on their occasional excursions to
France they don't fly where the channel
is narrowest now, but where it was mar
TOwest several centuries ago. when the
progenitors of these conservative birds
first chose the crossing place. Could
anything be more touchingly true to
tradition than that? 1t really seems
almost incredible, and we might feel
privileged to have our doubts about it,
and about that painted bench story, if
they weren't so we'll vouched for by
somebody or another whose name we
don't just now recall.

Making Morocco.

Nearly twenty years ago almost all
the morocco leather used i'll this country
was imported from France. Hardly 10
per cent OF the amount consumed was
made here. But today nearly opposite
is the case. More than three-fourths OF
the morocco leather used is of American
make. Big factories in New York,
Philadelphia, Wilmington, Lynn. Boston
and Chicago have sprung up within
dozen years. and French manufacturers
now find market in America for only
the finer qualities of gloves.
Zen years ago the largest American
morocco factory only turned out a few
hundred dozen skins a day. Today
there is being built in Philadelphia
factory which will turn out $500 dozen
every twenty-four hours.
The manufacturers who prepare these
skins send out buyers to the countries
Of the Old World from which they get
their supplies. The buyer usually
makes this foreign country his home.
and after being acclimated is kept there
by the house employing him as long al
he is willing to stay.
