THE TAX Is ON THE TEA.

The five-o' checkers loudly wall in fiendish
miser-ee
Because the government has gone and
put q tax on tea.
OH it's too long
Since the Oolong
And the Ceylon came in free,
And they're bowling
And they're growing
In way were grieved to see
When Priscilla puts the kettle on to
draw the cup of tea.
The Teuton jumps a hundred feet and in
his mad career
The fact denounces that they have in
creased the tax on beer.
The beer goes up, the beer goes down; 1t
goes both ways you see.
And as a blooming paradox out trotS the
blooming tea.
Oh, it's mixed ale,
And it's mixed tea
That we learn of to our cost
The country wins the battle, though
they say the countryS lost.
The cup that cheers is cheering for the
tax with might and MAN,
And Coney Islands leaping like a bulldog
on a chain.
OH it's mixed ale in the cellar
And it's mixed ale in our crops,
And Young Hyson,
Like a bison,
Over all creation hops.
The tariffs hit the bull s-eye, while it
caperS in its glee,
And that is all we know about the tax
on beer and tea.

WILL GERMANY BACK TuRKEYp

1t is said that Germany will sustain
the sultan in his demands on Greece
The importance of this announcement,
If true. will depend very largely on
what the sultan's demands are If they
are merely nominal, more of a formal
than a substantial nature, Germans
support will not amount to ANYTHING
that is it will have no great significance
or influence on affairs in the east.
On the ether hand, if the demands of
the sultan are for cession of territory
war indemnity, or either, then Ger
many's support means very much and
is by far the most important fact de-
veloped by the Greco-Turkish war. 1t
would be almost tantamount to a dec
laration that Emperor William intends
to be the dominant factor in the de-
termination of the course of affairs in
the east. 1t would almost as certainly
mean that Germany was hostile to
England; and this might not be bad
thing, as it would free England from
restraint in acting in the east. But
what would it mean so far as Russia
is concerned? Russia will never
abandon the hope of possessing Con-
stantinople until that city comes under
the domination of some other power
than the Turkish, a European power
equal TO herself. 1t really begins to
look as though something of real i'm
portance might result from the Greco
Turkish war after all. There has been
no such prospect since the first few
days of the war.

Comparatively few people live to cell
citrate golden wedding. Last Thurs
day Mrs. Katherine Cronan of Craw-
louisville, Ind, celebrated her golden
wedding by filing suit for divorce
against Cornelius Cronan, to whom she
was married so years ago in England.
The complaint was drawn UP by her
lawyer in March, but was, by her or
ders, withheld until the fiftieth ami
versary Of the wedding. She alleges
that her husband imprisoned her for
two days in a dark closet. without
food, in an endeavor to force her to
deed to him an interest in her elegant
farm. 1t is alleged that Cronan deed
ed the farm to his wife several years
ago for business reasons. and when
they no longer existed, his wife refused
to let go the property. The diamond
jubilee might be celebrated by a re-
union.

TALES OF THE DAY.
He Got Better.

Tit-Bits: 1t was sad scene. The old
man lay on his bed, and by him sat the
faithful wife. holding his worn hand in
hers, and forcing back the tears TO
greet his wandering look with a smile.
She spoke words of comfort and of hope.
But he felt the cold hand falling on him
and he turned his weary eyes up to her
pale, worn face.

There is much truth in what the
Philadelphia Times says when it de-
clares that the great Industrial and
business interests of the country are
today waiting for the new tariff bill,
and inspiration to industrial progress
will not so much depend upon the
character of the bill as upon it's early
enactment. 1t says that whether the
new tariff law shall be wise or other
wise, there will be no great movement
in industrial channels until it shall
have been enacted, and this should be
the strongest possible appeal to the
senate to dispose of the measure at
the earliest period.
The Times further declares that the
business of 100000 of people is wait
ing upon the new tariff; it will make
no advance until the new tariff policy
shall have been determined, and every
day needlessly wasted in the consid-
Grafton of the measure must be a
double wrong to capital and labor.
Business waits; the bill is now be-
fore the senate; let the senate act.
There is no question that the business
of the country waits on the tariff. but
there is great fear that it will con-
tinue to wait even after the new tariff
is placed on the statute books. Still
a new cause for the waiting would be
assignable.

AGRARIANs AGAINST PROTEC-
TIONISTS.

Nothing could be more natural than
that the German Agrarians should de-
sire the reichstag to adopt policy OF
retaliation towards the United States
because of the Dingley bill The Agra
rians believe in Germany for the Ger
mans, a cry that is always catching
whenever raised by any party in any
country 1t is the very cheapest or
cheap patriotism, the patriotism of the
lungs as contradistinguished from the
patriotism of the head and heart.
The Agrarians are the Dingleyites of
Germany. They want the German
market held for the Germans, and no
foreigners permitted to enter it. They
want to protect the Germans that they
may bleed the Germans. At present
they are not doing this as thoroughly
as they would like. The American
congress proposes to protect the Amer
leans, and hence the Agrarians are
crying for retaliation. Judged from
the protectionist standpoint their cry
is logical one and is not open to crit
icism Looked at from across the wa
ter and it may seem narrow and selfish.
but viewed from home and fatherland
it is broad and national.
Can Americans have any just ground
of complaint against Germany if that
country should adopt the policy of the
Dingley bill? 1t is very unreasonable 10
expect that this country can adopt a
tariff policy that practically shuts out
from our markets other countries and
have those countries throw their doors
wide open sto American goods. Yet
this appears to be what some expect.
If you tickle me and III tickle you
be a generally safe rule to be guided
by, it is equally safe to proceed on the
theory that if one man kicks another
that other will kick back. The Ding
ley bill is of the kicking rather than
the tickling kind.
