Who Pays the Tax2

The Republican claim that the for eigner pays the tax' is amply proved by the following letter, which will ap- peal to the people of Nebraska and Iowa, as it interests them particularly:
 OMAHA, April f0 The Albion Milling Company Albion, Neb. GENTLEMEN Answering your inquiry of tho 7th inst. The explanation of the recent marked advance in the price of burlap bags is in the prospective changes in the tariff. Under the Wilson bill they are on the free list, but the Dingley bill provides for 3 duty which would amount to something over 1 cent per bag on the 66 inch eight ounce burlap. The price made yAsu on your recent invoice is the lowest which we can offer on the present market Yours truly, BEMIs OMAHA BAG COMPANY
 M. c. PETERS. Manager The consumers of burlap bags who live in this section of the country need not imagine that the increased price Of bags concerns them The foreigner has to pay 1t.
 Congressman Champ Clark, in his speech cn the Dingley tariff bill, said '.the passage of the bill will force every merchant il tic land to make tariff for revenue only speech every time he sells a bill of goods across the counters ; The above letter is only one of the tariff speeches referred to by the eloquent aud witty Missouri congressman.

GORMAN WAS LATE.
The Famous Senator Had to Ring to ae.
 In His Own II Duse.

Senator German is man of such regular and exemplary habits, and so seldom leaves his residence after his dinuer, that he is not in the habit of even. carrying night key. As rulo. ae is i'll bed before 10 o'clock. Not long tgo he went out after dirner, expecting te be gone only all hour at the outside. He was detained and did not return until II 80 o'clock
 On reaching his house he found 1t hut up, all the lights out, and all che members of the household in their rooms. He was forced to ring his opu doorbell. The servant came to the door grumbling, and thinking of course that the senator had long before gone to the land of Nod, made mp his mind that if any one wanted to see Mir German he would tell him 1t was impossible. On opening the outer door he was greatly surprised to find that it was the senator himself who was ringing the bell at that, for him. unseemly hour New York Sun

Old Sumptuary Laws.

Mr.. Burdett-Coutts, NJ. p, in an adj.
dress delivered before the English Uni.
versal Cookery and Food association.
called attention to the sumptaary laws
OF the fifteenth century. Then it was
enacted that, food being necessary to
the sustenance of man, the seller had no
right to ask his own price, but it was
the duty of the state to fix it. In the
same century equal supervision was ex-
erclsed over cooks. They were ordered
to make their meat 'well seasoned and
wholesome and sell it for a reasonable
winning, and that they reboil or rebake
no meat In hurt of the kings people. p"
The mayor of a town in those DAYS. up-
on entering office, was obliged to swear
that he would exercise vigilant SUPER
vision over bakers, brewers, tavern
keepers. cooks and such people. This
was no perfunctory oversight, but the
official exercised his authority with
great severity in cases where cooks and
dealers in food and drink failed of their
duty.

Police Raid It Because Beer Was Being
Sold on sunday.

Pittsburg. June IAN anarchist pic
mic at grove near Glenwood was raided
Sunday by the police and forty-seven
men We're taken prisoners. The charge
preferred against the prisoners is dis
orderly conduct and breaking the city
ordinance which prohibits the sale of
beer on a picnic ground. 1t is claimed
that lotteries were also in operation,
and several rifles and a large lot of bull
lets were captured which the men said
were to be used in a shooting gallery
which had not been erected at the time
Of the raid.
The picnic was being held i'm celebra-
ton of the release a few days ago of
Henry Bauer and Carl Mold from the
penitentiary, where they had served
four years for melting riot at Home
stead at the time of the big strike at
that place. Bauer and Mold, who were
among those arrested. say the action of
the police is an outrage. and some one

street improvements.

The village street committee is looking
into the question OF building streets from
the amygdaloid rock and it is probable
that an experiment will be made with
this rock some time this summer. The
rock is said to be sounder and to have
certain properties OF cement, so that it
will form good roadbed, even better
than that made by the rock now used.
The rock now used makes a good road,
but will not stand as much wear as, it
Is claimed, the amygdaloid will. Eighth
street is at present as fine piece of road
as will be found anywhere and it will re-
main in good condition because there is
not as much traffic on it as on some of
the other streets.
There Is also considerable talk of pass
ing an ordinance requiring heavily load
ed tes ms TO use Sixth street instead of
Fifth in all cases except where it is abso
iutely necessary, as the latter street is al
ways crowded with teams and is very
narrow, while Sixth street is broad ard
has good roadbed.

The Future of Germany.

No one can prophecy the future of
Germany. But so much az least seems
clear-that it will largely depend on the
course pursued by the socialists. Three
alternatives seem open TO them-thcv
may indefinitely continue their present
opposition 10 the government, and then
they can only be a source Of weakness.
or they may absorb the empire, trans.
forming it into feudal state, fatal TO
liberty and therefore unstable. or they
may, III return for certain timely CON
cessions, place their powerful organiza.
ton at the service of the empire and be
Its chief pillar Of strength.
This is the contamination that every
friend OF Germany and of humanity
must devoutly wish. 1t would bring adj
vantage to both sides and put an end to
autocracy. The empire would have to
abandon its attempt to return to me-
di9val military despotism and allow its
subjects large liberty of thought, speech
and action, while the socialists would
have to abandon their notion of the state
as mere economic beehive and accent
1t as the great institution for raising
man above slavery to physical needs in.
to spiritual freedom and culture. In this
way Germany might be strong without
being enslaved, and the present condi-
ton OF things, against which all
thoughtful men rebel, might come to an
end. -Professor Thomas Davidson in
Forum.

Birthday of the Locomotive.

What has been regarded by some as
ihe birthday of the railway locomotive
occurred on Sept. 81, 1925, with Ste
phenson as the father of the event. The
Stockton and Darlington railway had
been built, and, through his persistent
opportunities, laid with iron, instead of
wooden rails. 1t had been intended
merely for horse draft, but the inventor
prevailed upon the owners to allow him
trial of his steam locomotive.
Stephenson himself was the driver on
that occasion, and, before tremendous
crowd of curious and for the most part
incredulous people, he drew train of
nearly 30 wagons, loaded with passen-
gers and coal, at speed Of ~ to 10
miles per hour. Thus the first train that
ever carried passengers made its journey
In safety, and the enthusiasm Of the
multitude was Undesirable.
But, Notwithstanding this demonstra-
ton, the locomotive was still unmerci-
fully ridiculed by the majority. Nor
was this ridicule confined to the ipnor-
ant classes The ablest engineers con-
tended that it was ridiculous to suppose
that steam could ever be practically en-
pioyed III competition with horse power
Tor transportation. Almost incredible as
1t may now seem. it is fact that politi-
cal economists inveighed against therail- |
way and the engine as constituting an /
imaginary reform, which, even if success
iul-which was very doubtful-would I,
deprive stage drivers, teamsters and inn.
keepers of their livelihood. 1t was in
The face of an almost universal opposi-
tlon, of the wild, unreasonable kind.
that few men, led by the great Ste
phensor, labored steadily onward and
lnally established the railroad and the
locomotive as institutions Of the land.

Why con,,Iates Are Popular.

IL is well known that the pressure for
consulates is greater than for any other
class OF offices Various causes contrib
ute TO this desire to go abroad. Repre-
sentative Hit thinks he has the true
theory. 1T is the women folks" he
says. You know how it is. Brown or
Jones or Smith, when he has means
and leisure, likes to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and daughters are filed with their ex.
periences. The whole town is fired with
emulation.
Now, John Jones may not have the
means 10 take his family TO Europe,
but he has influence in politics. When
the political wheel turns and his party
is up he looks around 10 see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left TO
himself, he would probably be content
with the postoffice. But his wife and
daughters have had 10 listen TO what
the Brown women or the Smith women
say of life abroad and, womenlike.
they have listened with envy and with
fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves. So. instead
OF letting John Jones ask for the post.
office, they insist that he must be a con.
sui somewhere. Their ideas may be
little indefinite about the nature and
duties of a consul's Office, but they
know 1T means going abroad, and that
is enough for them.
So John Jones makes out his applica-
ton to be consul general to Paris and
writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus, " says Representative
Hit, ARE the lives of congressman
made burden for the first six months
after new administration comes into
power By that time the consulates are
III disposed of, and the disappointed
applicants can return to the postoffices.
