the Republicans Were Inconsistent III their

Free trade and the gold standard were
the logical combination. Mr.. Butler sus.
tanned the position held by Mr.. Cannon.
He WAS in favor of the export bounty
because the American farmer was a
lahorer entitled to just as much protection
as any other laborers. But the Republic
cans held the farmer practically in a
condition of free trade. It Was true
that the wheat growers had no competi-
tion here, bet they met it In Liverpool
against foreign pauper labor. Mr.. Butler
characterized free raw materials as
eliminating atrocity. The Democrats had
been guilty OF such an atrocity when in
the Wilson bill they made the products
of the South and West free. The essencr
OF Democracy was, indeed, worse than
the essence of Republicanism If the
Republicans We're not fair enough to
take the bounty off our competitors, they
should be far enough to give bounty
to the farmer.
Mr.. Butter said that similar idea to
this bounty was held by Henry Clay.

this grade IN the House bill would have
been 25.93, whereas. under the CAUCUS
schedule it will be 33. 43, a clear gain
OF just that many points for the trust.
There is .ruch amusement over the
statements made by Senator Aldrich In
his speech In calling up the tariff bin,
when he criticised the House method Of
dealing with this schedule. Now that
the Republican caucus has set aside Mr.
Aidrich's compound schedule, and adopted
the House plan with an additional increase
in the rates, Mr. Aldrich's criticism sounds
rather strange. Here is. one OF the things
the Senator from Rhode Island said of
that schedule:
The committee, in considering the ques-
ton whether they should adopt the specific
scale contained in the House schedule for
sugars testing above 81 degrees, were
confronted with the fact that these rates
would discriminate in favor Of the sugars
CT certain localities and values as against
others. With high specific duties.
approximating IS per cent in ad yalorern
equivalents, serious inequalities would re-
suit, unfairly discriminating against the
sugars OF some countries.

Ion then why does it not now apply, and
especially since the differential to the trust
has been so markedly increased: Senator
Aidrich also submitted to the Senate sew
eral tables showing the tliffeTentlal 10 the
trust in various kinds of sugars and at
various market values. In every case he
figured ou' thai the Senate differential was

it expected and that there is good ground
for the boom in the stock of that concern.
There is suspicion, however, in some
quarters, that Mr. Aldrich compiled mis-
figures for d particular purpose in which
he failed to accomplish the hoped for re-

Hunting In Rurmah.

Burmah, the largest province of the
Indian Empire, is beautiful and very
varied country, covered in many places
with forests which in the month of
March are bright with the many colors
and sweet with the varying scents of
thousands of Towering trees and
shrubs. This country is trayersed by
many rivers the largest of which is the
Irawadi, with a course of probably
eleven hundred miles from it's I'M
known source among the SHOWS OF
Thibet, down to the Bay of Bengal.
These rivers during the rainy season
(Which lasts for long time) overflow
their banks and spread over the plains.
the food water of the Irawadi often
flowing over the country for ten or
fifteen miles on either side to a depth
of from four to fourteen feet The in
undated villages, however, do not suf-
fer, as the natives. knowing what they
may expect during the rainy season,
are prudent enough to build their
houses on piles, and the food waters
move but slowly. But one can easily
imagine how unhealthy the flooded
country must be, with a great heat
and burning sun. During the time
of the floods, all hunting operations
are carried on by the natives from
boats; these boats, which are very
light, being manned according to their
size with spearmen, paddlers, and
steersmen. Hunting in this manner is
an occupation of great danger, as it is
impossible to guess what animal may
be encountered in the flooded country,
and Burmah has a long list of wild
animals, including the elephant, rhin-
oceros, tapir. buffalo, many kinds of
deer, tigers, leopards and bears. But
the Burmans are an excitable, impul-
sive and courageous people, and they
really seem to enjoy this sport, not
withstanding the risks they run. They
are also anxious to secure hog or
deer; for although their staple food is
rice, which is as cheap as it is in India,
the inhabitants of Burmah eat fish or
meat daily, and in all respects live
better than the lower classes of India.
Therefore, in going out to hunt over
the flooded country, these men are in
search, not only of excitement, but OF

SHE PAINTS SIGNS.
The Newest of New Women Is Miss
Edna Waymack.

The Newest of New Women Is Miss
Edna waymack.
The newest new woman is Miss Edna
Waymack of Belfontaine, Ohio. Hers
is the distinction of being the only fem
mime out-of-door sign painter in the
United States, says the New York
Journal
Miss Waymack hesitates at nothing
in her line of business, no matter how
arduous the work. She has painted
huge advertising signs on the face of
perilously steep cliffs, task few men
would undertake. Many large spaces,
such as barn sides, the roofs OF houses
and the like, scattered all over the
country, testify to the ability of this
young woman as a realistic brush
wielder.
She is perfectly at ease on ladder or
scaffold, and she can scale taut rope
in a way to make an old tar blush
with envy. Swinging before the pre-
cipitous face of a mountain. she often
works for hours laying on alphabetical
color schemes with a steady hand and
a touch that never loses its evenness.
Miss Waymack has many large con-
tracts for big natural canvases which
she hopes to fulfil next summer. For
the most part her signs are made in
the interests of several large tobacco
firms.
The most daring piece of sign-paint-
ing she has ever undertaken is the
lettering on the rough surface OF cliff
at Bellefontaine, Ohio. This rock looms
up above the surrounding meadow for
distance of some $50 feet with Il sheer
fall of 300 feet to the base of the cliff.
For four days Miss Waymack swung

THE PROPOSED CANAL.

instructions to his engineers to study
/ the possibilities of a maritime canal
to connect the Baltic with the Black
Sea; this canal to be constructed with
| dimensions sufficient for the transit OF
| the largest war vessels. After a thor
! ough study of the various possible
roads, one has been selected as the most
practical, running, as it does, entirely
through Russian territory On the
plan selected there are no great diff
culties of level to be overcome, al
though the European watershed sum-
nit has To be crossed, but this last
takes place at one of it's lowest points
The proposed canals entrance will
be on the Gulf of Riga, at the mouth
of the river Duna. 1t will follow the
course of this river up to point above
Dunsbourg. Then, leaving this valley,
it reaches the Berezina river by a
straight cut and passes through Bah
rouisk. This brings it into the Dnie-
per, and, following this natural decliv-
ity, it reaches the Black Sea, opening
into a magnificent roadstead below
Kerson. The total length of this colos-
sal waterway will be something like
1900 kilometres (about 1000 miles),
and it will be excavated to depth of
S15 metres (about 81 feet. This will
allow the largest ironclads to navi-
gate it freely from one end to the other.
The estimated cost is put down at f1OO,-
100000.
Its strategic Importance does not
need demonstration. By the selection
of a course running at a safe distance
from the frontier it places back of the
Russian forces stationed in Poland an
unassailable base OF operation. Fully

WAR NEWS.
greece and Turkey are still Fighting Very
Desperately.

London, April 26.--Dispatches from
Constantinople convey the information
that the Sultan has removed Eden
Pasha from command of the forces on
the frontier In view of the fact that
the press reports sent out incline ev-
erything in favor of Turkey, this action
seems strange and unaccountabie.
When taken in connection with the
further fact that the war news is sup
pressed in Turkish papers, merely brief
announcements of victories being print
ed, it suggests that possibly the move
ments of Turkish forces have not been
so lovely and serene as the press dis
patches indicate. While the Sultan's
troops have undeniably made great adj
vances it may have been done at a cost
of which the world at large is not APP
prised.
The Greeks have been driven from
Larissa with severe loss. 1t is re-
ported that they suffered loss of am
munition stores which somewhat Grip
pied them temporarily. Prince Con-

A rumor has been given circulation,

gratifying to the powers to achieve
this result, there is no likelihood OF
such procedure.
