THE TARIFF PROSPECT.


Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The vote in the Senate last week on
Senator Teller's motion to lay the tariff
bill on the table was the first test on
that measure since it has been intro
duced. The significance of its defeat
by % to 38 is taken to be that the Dem
ocratic strength is united in favor of the
passage of the pending measure.
1t has that meaning, but it also makes
another point clear. The vote in favor
of the bill was short of quorum. The
Democrats may be determined to pass
the bill but they have not at present
enough members present to make
quorum by themselves if the Republic
ans should be united in the endeavor to
break quorum. In view of the notable
difficulty of getting all the Senators to
attend to their duties it is questionable
whether the Democrats would be able
to rally enough of their own party to
overcome that method of obstruction.
But, on the other hand, it is doubtful
whether the Republicans could unite on
the attempt to break quorum. Senator
Teller's declarations last week furnish a
practical warning of the danger that
such a course would cause a revolt and
perhaps hasten the passage of the bill.
The prospect, therefore, is that the Senate
will in the fullness of time pass the latest
edition of tariff revision. 1t will be on
the conference report that the questions
what sort of a measure will come up for
final passage, and whether it will be
passed or not, will have to be decided.

AMERICAN FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Every civilized nation, save ours,
is entangled with heather lands.
China has no love for England. In
dia, though under British control,
revolts automatically when it has
chance We are not sure that India
would not prefer Russian rule.
France has few friends in China; the
memory of the struggle in Tonquin IS
too fresh. Africa resents English artil-
lery. and Morocco. in the north OF
the continent, is now at war with
France. Germany has grasped terri

concerning missions, have become

We have some obstacles in China
but they are less than older Chinese
grievances against other nations.
If outraged Cinnamon in America
have complained, they know that
large armies of people here protest
that our American wrongdoing is
political, and does not represent the
American opinion and feeling. This
mitigating fact will be understood in
China after time. Many a China

Christian truth. Who knows how
largely that fact may figure when

Il BOY AND AN UMBRELLA.

A schoolhouse with four hundred
children in it caught fire at South
Evanston, near Chicago, the other
day. Most of the pupils marched
out in good order through dense
smoke, with their eyes shut, holding
one another's hands a IS their teachers
told them. But many were panic
stricken, and one little girl was hurt,
but not fatally. One small boy,
however, rose superior to danger and
to fear. His name is Percy Bradley,
and he belongs to Western family
noted for presence of mind. He did
not propose to take any chances
waiting for the tiremen to come for
him, nor did he like to jump out of a
second-story window, as some of the
other panic-stricken boys were doing.
In his second reader was picture Of
a man dropping from balloon with
a parachute, and he has read of
Darius Green and his flying machine.
When he decided to use the window
he secured the umbrella which he
brought to school, and opening it,
took leap. He landed safely. We
predict a successful future for Percy

too much praise in his early youth

is complaint that newspaper editors
lack fearlessness and honesty; that
newspapers are too generally mere
partisan organs that disregard the
claims of truth and justice when pO-
litical interests are at stake. There
is too much truth in the charge; but
let US ask how it is possible for a
fearless, honest, outspoken journal
to live if every man is to cry 'stop
my paper" whenever he reads some
thing that does not accord with his
views? The men who insist that
the paper they read shall never say
anything contrary to their views are
the ones who are in large measure
responsible for the craven cowardli-
ness and the weathercock propensi-
ties of modern journalism. In a
community composed entirely OF
these stop my paper people. true
independent journalism would be
an impossibility. When you are
convinced that paper is dishonest
and deceitful, stop it. When con-
WINGED that it is unclean, stop it.
When it lacks enterprise and fails to
give you the news, stop it. When
some other paper gives you more OF
value, stop it. But don't stop a
paper that you believe to be honest,
courageous. enterprising and clean
simply because it's editor has written
his own sincere views instead of
yours or somebody else's; for if you
do, you are putting a premium on
insincere journalism and serving no.

succeed is to write what he thinks

GEORGE ". CHILDS ON WINE
DRINKING,
WINE

At table Mr.. Childs, while happy
in entertaining others, was himself
moderate and temperate in diet. At
a family dinner, while the round
was spread and served with excep-
tional elegance, the master Of the
house showed few marks of the cpl
cure. 1t was a domestic feast-an
oasis in busy life, where hospital
ity could be most fully extended.
Delighting in every form of beauty,
the rehnements OF life were fully set
forth upon his sumptuous board.
At dinner, once upon a time, Mr.
Childs was evidently pleased at my
declining wine and joining in the
use of Apolinaris, his favorite bev-
erage.

even of light wine ?'' inquired

so shamed of myself that l could

that is experience enough for one
lifetime. You must never, under any
circumstances, indulge in malt or
spirituous liquors. Use your will

letting the thing alone. If you never

IN A BAD FIX. An Editor Libeled by
 His Own Paper. He Couldn't Write so the
 Paper Said, And Added That He Was a
 BIackguard Beside. The Peculiar Trouble That a. San Francisco Newspaper Proprietor
 Brings to Light in Court.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCIsco, Nov. 15.-An arrest for criminal libel here today brings to light the peculiar state of affairs ex- isting in the office of the Slavianska Sloga, Slovenian newspaper.
 Louis W. Piskulich, editor and pro- prietor of the paper, caused the arrest of Moth Zvant, his assistant editor, and the peculiar feature of the case is that Zvant is accnsed of having grossly libe.ed Piskulich through the columns of Fiskulich's own journal.
 Following a disagreement Zvant caused the following statement to be con spicunusly inserted in the columns of the paper: 1.-The proprietor of this paper is fegel. without any education. He was shoemaker in Dalmatia and came here to edit this journal. He himself cannot write."
 Piskulich in his complaint ayers that fegel is blackguard. The publication in the editors own paper created a lively row in local Slavonian circles, which are never lacking of sensational quarrels and alleged conspiracies.

Valuable Estate in Texas.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 15.-Chief ol Police Deitsch today received letter from R. H. Barrow, real estate agent of Columbia, Tex, asking him to locate Samuel Ross or his descendants. Bar row says that in 1889 Ross went to Texas from New Orleans and a a,quired titles to vast tract of land. He then came to Cincinnati, and in 1849 married the widow of Walter Burk, whose maiden name was Rosalie Rebecca Egbert. Since then all trace of him has been lost. Barrow says that the titles to the property, which is quite valuable, are still good, and that the land is being occupied by sQuatters. He says that if the real heirs can be found and their identity proven he can restore the land to them and make them wealthy. Chief Deitsch will try to comply with the re- quest of Mir. Barrow, though the hunt ing up of lost heirs is hardly in the line of police business. In conversation at police headquarters today the names mentioned in the letter were found familiar, and the publicity given the matter will, no doubt, discover & host of descendants, real or otherwise, of the missing Ross.
