Germ Of the doctrine which the Boston
Herald has set up as the standard Of
political virtue for the last five years. A
revenue tariff is blind. 1t cannot consider
or undertake to promote manufactures East
or West or anywhere, or to make it easy
for the farmers, or tighten the burdens Of
the poor. or punish the rich. There is

Among RUDYARD KIPLTNs's works Is a

from which the Boston Herald seems to be
emerging, to be followed, we hope, by the
countless others afflicted with the same be-
nighted ignorance of what they were really
driving at through the medium of "tariff
reform" They were all protectionists,
some, like this New England specialist in
schedule juggling. seeking protection for
their favored industries through the aban-
donment Of revenu on products that to
them were "raw material" and others
seeking It in other ways. But protection

COSTS MONEY TO DIE IN OFFICE.
A Washington Undertaker's Bill Held Up By
the Committee on Accounts

From the Washington Post.
Chairman Odell of the Committee on Accounts
of the House is greatly dissatisiedwith the bill
submitted by the undertaken who had charge OF
the funeral of the late Congressman Cook OF
Illinois. This undertaken asks the House OF
Representatives to pay him 81, $50.
Mr.. Odell claims that many OF the items of tho
bill are eXorbitant, and altogether out OF pro.
portion to the value OF the services rendered
and the material furnished. He particularly OBJ
jects to the charge of $50 for embalming the re.
mains, which he declares Is three times as much
as undertakers usually ask in New York State.
The charge of 1850 for the casket and cases is
another which he thinks altogether too great.
Then, too, the funeral director asks $45 for tho
three days he was engaged in travelling be-
tween here and Chicago, which Mr.. Odcii SAYS
Is moro than his own salary as a Congress-
man for the same, time. and he does not be.
heve that the services of an undertaken arc
more valuable than those of a Representative.
He wants the bill cut at least 5000 before he will
consent to recommend its payment. But the
undertaken is unwilling TO cut II at all.
Mr.. Odel points out that his committee hns
Just authorized the payment of the funeral ex.
penses OF one Of the employees of the House.
who died about tho same time, the cost OF whose
funeral, was only $l4s. He fails to sec why there
should be a difference of 81 900 between the eN-
pense OF 6urying a Representative and an en-
ployee of the House.

Never in the history of this country have there
