NAPOLEON And THE COP
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
TWO LITTLE NAPOLEONS.
One Made the Man who Stopped Him a
Field Marshal, But the Buffalo
Sparrow Cop Won't Get a Hun
dred Dollar Postoffice.

The newspapers are devoting consid-
cradle space to the incident at Buffalo,
when President Mckinley, the comman-
der-i chief of the army and navy Of the
Unitsd States, was stopped by little
sparrow cop and told that he could not
proceed. The Chicsgo Daily News, a
paper that supported the Republican
ticket faithfully last fall, las fun with
the episode as follows:
That policeman who stopped President
Mckinley from driving in Buffalo park,
where the G. A.. X. veterans were en-
camped, simply emphasized the Napole-
onic side of the presidents character.
"You can't 90 in here. No ole is al
lowed in here in CARRIAGES" bravely
shouted the Buffalo copper, thereby prov
ing that history repeats itself.
Napoleon Boneparte was the Mckinley
Of his time. He looked as Mckinley
looks; he wore the same three-cornered
hat in the campaign Of 1905 that McKin-
ley wore in the campsign Of 1896; the
great coat that was Napoleon s is now
owned by Mckinley. The posture of
Napoleon at Austerlitz, was the same
Mckinley assumed when the returns were
coming in last November. In short,
Napoleon of Corsica is a pocket edition of
Napoleon of Caution.
But there Is one difference between
these two Napoleons. He of Jena, Wag-
ram, Lodi, was wont to be stopped in his
rounds of the army by dutiful guards and
sentinels. Informed that he was the
Great Nap and demanded admittance to
the lines the sentinel said he didn't care
rap who he was. Thereupon the little
corporal made general or q field mar
shall of the sentinAl.
And what did our Napoleon Of Canton
do when the Buffalo copper told him,
hsltS Did he make him general In the
army of protectionP He did not. Did he
make him field marshal Of the Repub
lioan clubsP Not a club. Did he offeI
him foreign job or even fourth-olasi
postmastsrshipp He did none of these
but ordered his driver to wheel about and
make for this depot
1t may be argued that Napoleon Mo
Kinley had no position to give; that
the giving department had teen working
overtime and every place had it's incum
|
to create new jobs, into which he could
have placed the fearless, dutiful coppe
of Buffalo. No, 1t Is not the three-oor
nered hat not the grsatcoat nor the sen
tinel, that makes Napoleon Of today
it Is the Hanna.

PROSPECTS OF THE TARIFF.
Protection Vow stands as 8 National
Policy.


The pleasing prospect is that the tariff
bill will be law on or very soon after
July /, and that the extra session OF
congress soon will be a matter of his
tory. The special correspondent at
Washington for the Inter Ocean re-
Gently reviewed the history of tariff leg
islation from Washington's time until
the present day, and demonstrated that.
excepting the first revenue bill, which
was an all-round measure of protection,
rlv fiscal legislation has progressed SO
rapidly as that which now is in prog
ress, with probability of speedy COM
pletion. The first revenue bill, that of
1889, was under consideration of both
houses of congress for little more than
two months. But it was a simple meas
ure, with no free list, and its trainers
had to unravel or adjust none of the in
tricate complications that beset the
tariff legislation in these days of in
finite correlation and interdependence
of highly developed commerce.
The president convened congress in
special session for the passage of rev
enue bill March 16, the house entered
with zeal upon it's duties and April the
Dingley bill was ready for transmission
TO the senate. Everybody remembers
the apprehension with which the work
Of the senate finance committee was re-
garded, and the dismay that followed
the presentation of its draft of amend
ments that completely revolutionized
the house bill. 1t is to be said in praise
of the republican leaders in the senate
that as soon as they heard the protest
of the public they receded from their
position, withdrew most of the obnoX-
ious amendments, modified others, alb
stained from prolonged or irritating de-
bate, and generally conformed their ac-
ton to the desire of the people, which
clearly was for the enactment of tariff
bill upon the lines of that famous meas
ure that ever will be known as the Nc
Kinley law.
The special session will be noted in
history for it's manifestation of a re-
newal of national spirit in tariff legisla-
ton. In the early days of the republic
tariff was not party issue, and it now
looks as though henceforth the names
of democrat and free trade are not TO
be regarded as political synonyms. The
protectionist sentiment in the south has
been silenced for years, but it again has
found a voice and n voting power. Pro-
lection now stands in its true light, as
n national, not a partisan, policy. This
of itself is most suspicious commence
ment of President McKinley's admin
istration; the unification of north and
south with east and west, in n policy
of protection to all American industries
is n most inspiring spectacle.-Chicago

FREE TRADE DONE FOR.
The Protection Principle Ii Become
Ing Established.

The one conspicuous sign Of the
times in political progress to-day is the
gradual abandonment of free trade by
the democratic party. The movement
began at Chicago one year ago, when
the tariff issue, for 40 years the sole
stock in trade of democratic orators,
| was subordinated TO the clamorous
howl for free silver. In the months
that have followed, the masses and
many of the leaders of the democracy
have been veering farther and farther
away from the revenue policy of the
party, and in the senate OF the United
States we have witnessed the unusual
but gratifying spectacle of strong
southern statesmen voting for repub-
lican tariff principles. So patent, in
deed, has been the desertion from the
free-trade ranks that Senator Vest has
been driven TO the painful concession
that the democratic party is being left
without an argument"
And now comes the most significant
revelation yet made in the trend of
democratic sentiment on the tariff
question. The American Protective
Tariff league has just completed the
listing of new papers throughout the
country that have agreed to promul-
gate the doctrine of protection. Among
these papers there are 453 straight
democratic journals, and of this num-
Der 1872 are in the south, where the
teachings of Calhoun and other doc
trinarians of n tariff for revenue only
took strongest root
The marvellous changes in party creed
means the ultimate acceptance of the
protection principle by the whole Amer
lean people, without regard to past
political prejudices or sectional tradi-
tions. 1t is splendid triumph for the
genius, the craftsmanship and the
persistent courage of the republican
party. The converted democracy may
cry out in defense of its change of
heart that Jefferson was protectionist
and Jackson believed in a tariff of dis
elimination in favor of American in
dustries, while Tilden and Randall
were as earnest and relentless in their
opposition to free trade as any public
men of their day. But the people will
remember that these were the very
facts of history which latter-day dem
ocrats have tried hardest to conceal,
and they will be slow to forgive the
party which, in blind devotion TO fall
lacious theory, has produced most of
our national ills, no matter how vocif-
erous its remorse. Democracy will con-
tinue to be regarded as the responsible
agent of free trade. 1t will not dare,
for the present at least, 10 openly re-
nounce it's tariff principles, and even If
it should do so in the future the MEM
DRY of its past sins will arise to haunt
and plague it forever.-Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune.

DETROIT MASONS.
The Dedicate "a New Temple with I'm
pressiye Ceremonies

Detroit, June 25.-The masons of De-
troti on Thursday formally dedicated
their magnificent new temple with inn
pressive ceremonies. 1t was memoir
able day for the masonic fraternity of
the city as well as numerous members
of lodges from various parts of the
state. In the afternoon nearly 1000
masons of all degrees marched in pro-
cession through the principal streets
headed by Detroit and Damascus COM
manderies Knights Templar. At the
conclusion of the parade the lodges
formed i'm two lines open order, extend
ing almost from the temple on Lafay-
cite avenue down Griswold street to
Larned street, and saluted the officers
of the Michigan grand lodge as they
fled through. The beautiful and sol
emn service of the masonic order was
used in the dedication of the new temple,
under the direction of the grand lodge.
A concert in the auditorium CT the
temple followed the dedication. Then
came n reception rendered the grand
lodge officers by the Michigan masons
and the services of the day closed with
an entertainment in the assembly hall.
