1t has been said that the Democrats
cannot consistently support the tariff
bill in the Senate, even though they
know the country to be suffering fol-
revenue and that to prolong existing
conditions is simply Strengthening the
hands of the free silver factions. There
is a duty that rises above consistency
Emerson was in a truthful mood wher
he wrote "A foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds" But il
should be remembered that the Demo.
Gratis have never been consistent re.
garding the tariff They framed the
Wilson bill, not according to theil
avowed theories, not even in the House
but the southern wing of the party de.
sired and got protection. 1t was &
onesided variety intended to benefit
one section at the expense of another
but that only increased their desire fol
it, Consequently it is nowise surpris
ing that several members of the way:
and means committee voted for pro
lection in certain lines when the tariff
bill came before them. Congressman
McLaurin of South Carolina, wanted
cotton taken from the free list and {
duty of az cents per pound PLACED
upon it and four of the Democrat,
members SO voted. Mr. Bailey of Tex
as, the leader Of the Democrats, votet
for the wool schedule and SO did Mr.
McLaurin. who expressly stated tina
he was opposed to the free admission
of so-called raw materials that com
peted with home productions. In tn
light of wisdom and experience, how
can sensible Democrat continue t,
cherish the delusion that the protective
principle is not the one the people wan
and will have?

Spring! Spring! Spring! Spring!
Sing! sing! sing! sing!
We do not know exactly why

about union between the Transvaal

peopled by Beers and natives, both
comprising a population of less than

A few days ago the report appeared
that there was secret understanding
between Russia and Greece. by which
Greece was to bring on such conflict
with Turkey that Russia would have to
step in with excellent excuse and oc-
cupy Conssantinople ard compel the
other powers to acquiesce in such oc-
cupation. Now comes a report exact
ly the reverse of this. 1t is that there
is a secret understanding between
Russia and Turkey, by which the for
mer is to have three Mediterranean
ports in exchange for her efforts in re-
straining Greece and the report is sup
plemented by one that. the Russian
charge d'affairs has been refused re-
ception at Athens. For the average read
er it is matter of take your choice
and await developments. Indeed not
only does one seem to need to be con-
gence but also to have exceptional
facilities for information respecting
secret understandings to accurately es-
innate the conditions existing. AL
however must be aware by this time
that the whole matter depends upon
the fact that each of the powers wants
slice Of the Ottoman empire and
their respective wants conflict while
everything waits upon their decision.
Little Greece for some reason, is de-
clining to wait.

though politically opposed to him-and

during his official career, nothing i'm

keeping a uniform tone when the car
is running at uniform speed, and then
declining again as the car runs slow

They say there are people who travel
regularly on the trolleys who hear this

except when they are asleep. They
call this having the trolley buzz. l

dinner there for twenty or twenty-five

surrounded him, though Ii was COM
