tain that the various ''commisslon"
plans win receive serious consideration
In future congresses, says the Chicago
Times Herald. The recent defeat Of
the cheap money propaganda demon
strated the ability and the Willingness
Of the people to settle questions involv-
ing the national honor but there are
many people who viii refuse to believe
that the electorate can be trusted to
settle the more technical points OF our
currency system. II is not az all prob
able that the next currency question
that may be submittei to the people
viii present such a clearly defined issue
between right and wrong II a curen-
cy proposition could be Invested of all
ethical considerations and presented as
matter OF abstract economics Il Is
interesting to conjecture what disposi-
tion the electorate might make OF e.
IN spite OF the general tendency to
howl about government by commits
sion" the recent campaign ~ educa-
tion is certain to cause a more wide
spread discussion ot the advisahility OF
settling both the currency and the taritf
questions in this manner Indeed
marked advances in this direction have
already been made in the Fifty-fourth
congress, the more notable measures
being Senator Cullom's bill providing
for tariff commission and the resolu-
ton OF Congressman Joel p. Heatwole,
OF Minnesota, providing for non-par-
tisan currency commission.
Whatever may have been the atti-
tude OF the Democrats in the past to-
ward proposition for the creation
OF tarift commission. IL is very evil
dent that such a measure would come
nearer to meeting with popular favor
at this time than ever before. 1t is
also true that there would be less hos
tility to a protective tariff commission
now than under any previous admins
tration. The defeat Of the income tax
law and the opposition OF the people
to any increase in our internal revenue
taxes have simplified the tarifr ques-
ton 1t would not be difficult at this
time to permanently engraft a conser-
vative protective system upon our es-
tablished national policy. Senator Cul- |
lom's arguments in defense OF a tariff !
are sound and logical They |
appeal with convincing weight to the
business interests OF the country The
great aim should be to relieve the tariff
question from present uncertainties. II
should be guarded from the radical
changes that are incident to every new
administration. II Senator Cullom's
plan viii secure the schedules from
tampering by the politicians
after they are equitably adjusted TO
industrial and revenue con-
iitions, there is no reason why it should
not have favorable consideration

Butler at the Ball.

The talk about General Benjamin F.
Buffers presidential canvass in 1884 brings
out good story Of him in one of his sew
eral unsuccessful campaigns for governor
Of Massachr setta Itshould be known that
If to be governor Of the old Bay State was
not General Buffers highest ambition, it
certainly was his strongest determination.
He was defeated for gubernatoiral honors
in 1871, when he was the Republican NOM
inee, and In 1873 and 1879, when he was
the nominee of the Greenbackers and one
wing of the Democrats He was elected In
1852 and defeated In 1883. The story is
an incident that happened in the 1878
campaign, when he had Governor Talbot
as his opponent Both were anxious to
win, and party feeling ran high, as it al
ways did when Butler was candidate.
The two were invited to attend ball given
by a labor organization whose votes each
candidate was desirous Of securing They
were pretending to enjoy themselves huge
ly, when the floor manager came up and
asked Butler to lead cotillon. This was
a poser for the general, and he began to
get hot and to show 1t. Governor Talbot
looked over with his best campaign smile
and said In tone Of pleading:
"Whatl Don't you dance, generalp"
"No," growled Butler, ri don't dance.

How 60 Ride a Swimming Horse.

TO begin with, 1t must not be supposed
that horse always swims naturally and
with ease that moment that he Is of his
feet in the water. The animal under such
circumstances has but one notion, to keep
his head out Of the water and to lift his
shoulders as high as possible
In doing this his hind quarters sink, and
he finds himself almost standing on his
tail, or ct least In position three quarters
erect.
In such an attitude, If the rider draws
upon the reins or throws his body back in
the least, the animals hindquarters will
sink more and more, his body will take
vertical position, and beating the water
uselessly with his fore feet he win finally
sink.
As soon as the horse gets of his feet in
the water let the rider grasp the animal's 9
name, leaning at the same time well for
ward upon Its shoulders, but without
touching It's head The riders knees
should be pressed tightly to the horses
sides; otherwise he Is likely to be swept off
by the water
This is the only position which will en-
able man to remain in the saddle and
the horse to swim at the same time The
reins must be held loosely and each well
