Why Oppose FTP

In an interview the other day Senator
Sh rman said that, in his opinion, the
Wilson tariff bill would be passed, but
that he and his republican associates
would do their utmost TO prevent its pass
sage. But why should the senator and
his politi, al friends oppose its passage2
Do they not believe in ma GRITTY ruler
Have the people not said in Two elections
that they want the tariff reducedl
The senator and his republican asso-
GATES did their utmost to get the people
not to or4er a reluc ion of the larif
they failed to accomplish their OBJ ID.
The people refused to be guided by them.
Having been defeated at the polls the re-
publicans ought not to throw any other
obstacles in the way of tariff reform.
They ought to stand aside and let the
will of the people be carried out.
The prospect Of tariff reform is not
what is causing depression in the man
ufacturing industries. 1t is the uncer-
tainty as TO when the tariff bill will be
carried into elect. 1t is important, there
fore, that the Wilson bill should be passed
without Unnecessary delay. The repub-
Ii ans, instead of placing obstacles in the
way of It's passage, should LEI it be, ONE a
law as quickly as possible. They should
DO this if they are sincere in what they
say. If they cannot prevent its passage
what good would it do to delay it. And as
they know that uncertainty is productive
of harm they should be willing TO remove
this uncertainty al the earliest possible
moment.
Naturally the republicans don't like
the demo rats to make changes in the
tariff. They want TO do all the tariff
tinkering. They have been making
change in the tart taxes for over thirty
years until we have a tariff that is cry
&C eptable to the protected monopolisLs.
The changes the democrats purpose max
in are not IN the interests of the monop-
oliss, They are Tor the benefit o the
people-the consumers. These re the
kim of changes the Democratic ar.y is
conn. ssioned to make and the kind chat
will be made. If the republicans are
wise they will not use their power to
cause delay in making them.

An once Cat" worth Having.

A parsonage cat whose favorite seat
is on the study table has found new
use for himself. He watches his mas
ter's pom, and occasionally, when the
writer is tired, takes the holder in his
mouth. But his real usefulness is to
act as paper-weight. When a sheet
is finished and laid aside. the cat walks
gravely to it and takes his seat on the
paper. As soon as another is laid aside,
he leaves the first and sits down on the
second. Sometimes, to try him, his
master lays down, on different parts of
the table, sheets in rapid succession.
But .Pohatan" = the cat = remains
seated, shrewdly supposing that to be
fun, not business. When work begins
anew, the cat seats himself on the last
paper laid down, and waits for another.
Thus he shows that he watches his
masters work, and perhaps thinks it
his duty to keep the paper from blow
ing away.-April st. Nicholas.

A Broken CIavicle.

Fifty years ago European audiences
listened with rapt admiration to
Rubini. IA tenor, of whom it was said
that, though he himself could not net.
he made his voice act for him. The in
tensity of expression he gave tn his
voice. the judicious use of the tremolo.
and the management of light and shade
produced thrilling effect. But his
great vocal feat consisted in taking the
u fiat of the upper stave without
preparation. sustaining it for "a long
time, and then letting it imperceptibly
die away. The listeners could hardly
believe their ears.
The adventurous are always on the
edge of danger. On one occasion
Rubin. after repeating this vocal feat.
and being n second time encored, found
himself unable to produce the expected
note. Determined not to fail, he
gathered up his vocal strength and
made supreme effort. The note came
with its wonted power. brilliancy and
duration, but at the cost of broken
cOllar-bone.
A surgeon examined the singer and
found that the tension of the lungs had
been too powerful for the strength of
his collar-bone. Two months rest
would be required To rcunite the cla-
vicle, and this the singer declared To
be impossible. AS he had only finished
several days of a long engagement.
''Can sing at all with broken
collar-bone?" he. asked
''Yes: it will make no difference in
your voice." answered the surgeon.
but you must avoid lifting heavy
weights, and any undue eXertion-.
above all, you must leave the b fiat
alone
Rubini continued to sing with
broken clavicle until the termination
of his engagement.
