Washington, Oct. 26.-It is understood
that the United States government has
taken other means besides the detachment
of Acting Rear Admiral Stanton to
show the government of Brazil that this
country repudiates Admiral Stanton's ac-

form these assurances have taken the
state department will not make public,
but if the regular course of procedure in

The purpose is to classify refined and un-
refined sugar closer together but this is
more apt 10 be done by reducing the duty
on refined sugar than By putting any duty

Too Many Conflicting interests Make
the Outlook Unpromising.

Washington, Oct a-A discouraged
member of the majority Of the ways and
means committee says he fears there will
be no tariff legislation at this session of
congress. The difficulties which the COM
mittee have encountered make it almost
impossible to frame bill satisfactory to
all. "Every person. he said, "insists
that the interests in his district now pro

ENLARGEMENT oE THE FREE LIST.

There will be considerable enlarge
ment of the free list by the addition of
raw materials and heavy cut in all du-
ties which are not properly revenue du-
ties. The idea OF tariff for revenue
only is adhered to quite closely, but this
application may not be made to coal
Iron ore goes on the free list, and there
is very considerable shaving down of
the entire iron and steel schedule.
The tax on whisky will be increased not
above 30 per cent, but the exact amount
of the increase has not been decided.
An increase of the beer tax is practi-
cally decided.

Mineral spring men want aduty on Apol-

duty on bottles, corks, and packages, yet
Apollinaris water comes in free But it
is no use Apollinaris water has too
great a hold on congress to ever expect
that duty will be placed on it,"
The same member says that the bad
blood that had been shown on the silver
bill in both the House and Senate
would have tendency to pre-
vent the tariff bill from going
through. The interests sought to be
protected In the House bill would find ad-

we need consider only how many butchers,
bakers, confectioners. dressmakers. car
r1age makers, coachmen, groomS and
household servants depend upon the contin-
by whom they are employed, and how
many others in turn depend upon them, to
recognize the absolute cruelty of unneces-
sarily withdrawing employment from them
at this juncture. To apply the money saved
by reducing household and personal ex-
penSeS TO the relief of other unemployed
people is like cutting off end of a
blanket and sewing it on the other with
view of increasing its length. II is most
emphatically true that charity begins at
home, and that poverty should not be Gre
ated at home for the sake of relieving it
elsewhere.
The same reasoning applies with greater
force TO the expenditures of capital in per
manent investments. 1t has been urged
that to provide work for the unemployed
the city should undertake the erection of
great public buildings, the laying out of
parks and the paving of streets; but under
takings Of this character would aid only
a limited number of workmen of a few
trades. whereas private enterprise en-
braces the whole field OF industry and
reached in any other way. The expenditure
too, would not be wasted. as it might be if
made by the city. 1t would be profitable
to the owners of capital. and thus it
would benefit them as we'll as those to
whose employment IL was applied.

they array themselves in the most fantastic
costumes imaginable Their legs are deco
rated with rattleS made of turtle shells,
and each warrior is armed with two or
three immense snakes. These wind around
the arms and necks of the dancers, and

Many years ago they suffered from a de-

ture. The tribe is one of the oldest in
America. Coranodo speaks of finding them
here in 1920. They live on a high plateau
$50 feet above the plain, and their homes
are of solid rock. There is a pathway
