A MOST interesting phase of the
political drift of the times in the
South is the obvious tendency on
the part of the leaders of the for
mer Democratic party to add to the
cheap money article of faith the
advocacy of a protective tariff on
Southern products, thus efFecting a
radical change of front in the prin-
ciples and policies of that great
party. A large part of the South
ern leaders on the Democratic side
nave never appeared to be at heart
for a tariff for revenue only. In
fact, they have not seemed to be
Democrats at heart at all, but
trained with the party only account
of the prejudices of the Civil War
issues and on account of the negro
question.

Tobacco an Essential.
Washington Star.I


In general order issued recently
the president virtually recognizes
tobacco as an article essential to
the well being and sustenance of
the soldier in times of great exer-
ton, as well as in times of peace
and routine. The order. which en-
anates from the war department,
reads as follows:
Under the authority vested in
him by section lii6, revised stat
utes, the president hereby estab-
fishes an emergency ration for
troops operating for short periods
under circumstances which require
them to depend upon supplies car
ried upon their persons. Its com
ponent parts are as follows: Ba-
con, 10 ounces; hard bread, l6
ounces; pea meal, 4 ounces, or an
equivalent in approved material
for making soup; coffee, roasted
and ground, 2 ounces, or tea, /
ounce; saccharin, 4 grains; salt,
.6l ounce; pepper, 4 ounce; to-
bacco, ! ounce"
The secretary of war directs that
this emergency ration be resorted
to only on occasions arising in ac-
tive operations when the use ofthe
regularly established ration may
be impracticable; that, although
its nutritive qualities permit it's
use on half allowance, it will not
be so used except in cases of over
ruling necessity and never for n
longer period that ten days, and
that not more than five days emer-
gency rations be carried on the
person at one time.
BY order of the secretary of war,
the subsistence department will
provide tough paraffin paper for
wrapping the bacon; will furnish
hard bread in grease-p proof packa-
ges, the pea meal in cylindrical
packages, and the coffee, tea, sac
charm, salt, pepper and tobacco in
suitable packages.

the beach" seems to be a criticism
of phase of masculine sincerity
and feminine duplicity which ought
to be very rare and probably is:
live opposite a maiden, and L know
her steady beau,
He tells me that she loves but him,
He buys her all her dresses and her
jewels, don't you know,
In fact he gratifies her every within.
He is sure TO call on Sunday, thro'
the week he's on the road,
really think he loves the little
peach.
LII he could see the rush on Monday
night,
i think he'd know
He's not the only pebble on the beach.
One OF the advantages Of mod
ern songs of 1.-THE pebble on the
beach" variety is that they may be
extended almost indefinitely by the
addition of new verses, or if the
audience be not cordial and appre-
ciative may be cut down with equal
ease.-New York Sun.

Only Pebble On The Beach.

you're not the only pebble on
the beach," is an expression which
has been made familiar on the stage
in variety Iheaters of New York
and other cities since last summer,
and it is traceable to no more sub
stan,ial origin than a chance re-
mark of one female duetist to an
other, with whom she had quarreled
in Coney Island, and more mas
culine variation of the original re-
mark is to be found in the express
sion, You're not the only cinder in
the heap" A chance expression,
having some claim to enduring
popularity is sure of long life if
made the refrain of popular song,
and such has been the fate of "the
only pebble" Here is the first
verse of the song:
When you see a pretty maiden, who
has turned seventeen,
You think you'd like to win her for
your wife,
Don't start the game by saying she's
the sweetest thing you've seen,
A young girls hearts the strangest
thing in life.
Don't let her think that you are sure
to offer her your hand,
She'd like you better-if you're out
of reach
No matter how you love her, give the
girl to understand
She's not the only pebble on the
beach.
This verse is rather more philo-
sophical than gallant-as the first
verse of popular songs are apt to
be-and the second verse seeks APP
parently to make amends for this
defect by calling the attention of
the audience to that rare subject
of complaint, the neglect of men in
street-cars to give seats to a beau
tiful and stylishly attired young
woman. However that may be,
these are the words of the verse:
While on board a crowded horse car
on a warm and sultry day
Isaw a maiden overcome with heat,
She stood there fifteen minutes, while
man not Iar away,
Was occupying twice his share of
seat.
AS she gazed at him with injured
look, she said in accents low;
Look here, my man, a moral L will
teach,
Though you have paid your nickel,
there are others, don't you know,
You're not the only pebble on the
beach,"
Much as popular songs may vary
in arrangement, the ingredients
which go to make up one are al
most invariably the same-in pa
thetic song, love unrequited, home
sickness, false pride, hopefulness
of a wanderers return, confidence
in the fidelity of an absent loved
one, and chagrin at the wiles of a
villain; In a comic song, the I'M
certainty of travel by street cars,
feminine fl;rtations, family jars,
the irate parent who rebukes the
hardness of engaged couples, and
the plight of a man who finds in
restaurant that he has less money
than the bill calls for. The third
verse of the song of 1.-THE pebble on

THERE is said to be in progress the
importation of 500,000.O00 pounds
of wool, TO anticipate the proposed
tariff on wool and form a corner on
that commodity. The same will
be done in other lines and trade
kept deranscd for years after the
enactment of the higher protective
tariff. That thing of protection
is an awful harassment and rob-
berry of the masses.
