therefore they consider it the reverse .
a compliment to accredit man of tina
race to their capital. The government
will not decline to receive him, for it re
ceives a colored man from Hayti ant
another from Santa Domingo, but hi
would be socially ostracized and have .
disagreeable time of it.
The Colorado Equal Suffrage Associa
ton has issued statement regarding the
results of woman suffrage in that state
Among other things offered in defense
is the following:
An interesting fact has lately been
noted in regard to the relative dignity
of the two houses of our legislature. The
lower house outranks the senate in the
serious decorum of legislative delibera-
ton. The few women who sit as men,
bers in the representative hall Of our
beautiful Colorado capitol seem, uncon-
sciously, to impose upon its. proceedings
greater regard for the amenities of
speech and conduct than is observed in
the upper house, where there are yet no
women to be considered. No less charac-
teristic of western chivalry is the i'm
provement that woman's presence has
made in the localities of primary meet
ings and polling booths. In many pre-
cincts, where formerly they were held in
stables or drinking saloons, primaries
are now convened in home parlors, and
polling booths are arranged in respecta-
bic buildings and voting is invariably
conducted with decorunl.
The Chicago Record is generally looked
upon as fair and independent in whatev-
er it discusses. Here is what it has to
say Of the new Dingley tariff bill:
There are two noteworthy points iii
the new tariff bill which emphasize
themselves so strongly when the measure
is subjected to careful analysis that it
would seem no rational person could ov-
erlook them.
One is that the bill is a tacit confess
sion on the part of the advocates of high
protective tariffs that a protective tariff
is antagonistic to the effort to get rev.
enue- producing tariff.
The other point is that tariff legisla'
ton in this congress has been made a
part of the game of politics.
The Dingley bill, as 1t emerged from
the house, was as .:high" as it we'll coulc
be. 1t was intended to protect every
thing and everybody, and to foster
! nurse and cherish more infant industries
than are likely to be born III a twelve
month. That being the case, why shoule
the senate committee have felt it neces
sary to lug into the schedule a tax of II
cents a pound on tea, and affix an inter
nal-revenue rate on beer Of $1.44 a barre
instead of the 81 at present charged
4 Simply because the wiser and more con
servative members of the finance com
mittee were apprehenslve that the singh
/ Dingley bill with its bewildering ARA,
of schedules would not produce suftic
; lent revenues. It is the old story Of tn
! struggle to reconcile the irreconcilabl
y schemes of tariff for, protection and
Z tariff for revenue. As shown in the cas-
4 of the Mckinley and the Wilson bills,
q bill for protection is likely to produc
1 less revenue than bill framed primarl
i II for revenue, with incidental protectiy
4 features. LII other words, the saner pre-
a tectionists In the senate have come /
i the point where they must confess tia
q, If revenue IS the tonic which the natio
Z need s-and Mr.. Nc kinney says It is
3 they must depart from the strictly PR
tective policy. &
The politics in the bill is shown /
q the infamous effort to restore the tax Q

es Of the sugar trust and in the Glstol
