HUNTING THE KANGAROO


sport for the spostsmsa es
the Australian Island Continent.
There are two ways Of hunting kan
garoos In Australia, one followed by /
native hunters and the other by white 1
men. The natives surround a herd of I
the animals, narrow the circle and then,
when the kangaroos dash at them In
wild efforts to escape. kill them with
short spears and clubs. commonly
called waddies. II Is lively work for
the native. The kangaroo uses its hind
legs uciously and with great judgment,
and dogs, horses and men have been
torn open by the nails Of its hind foet.
The white men prefer to follow the
kangaroo with dogs. Every herd OF
kangaroos has leader, known as the
old man or boomer, which warns It's
followers Of the approach of danger by
stamping the ground with its hind feet,
making booming sound that starts all
the kangaroos in hearing on run. A
scared herd will run over twenty or
thirty miles at times, or until 1t reaches
safety. A male weighs from 100 to ITO
1 pounds and Is seven or eight feet long.
The English make up parties of hunters
and follow the kangaroo with dogs
somewhat like fox hounds, but of great
er size and strength. Women and men
join in the sport. riding to the hounds

A TARIFF CONFESSION.

The suggestion thas a permanent
tariff commission be appointed, whose
duty it should be to study all the in
tricate and IMPORTANT questions con
nected with the subject and to so ar
range the duties under the various
schedules that they would both afford
the greatest amount of protection to
the various industries and produce the
greatest amount of revenue. has FREE
quenuy been made: but the suggestion
has generally been regarded as
Utopian. And so it has been.
Heretofore the insurmountable obsta-
Gle to the appointment of such
commission has been the fact that the
tariff question has been the one issue
upon which Democrats and Repub-
ncans have been hopelessly divided;
and they have been so divided since the
tariff became an important factor in
American politics. But there has been
q very material modification of the
views Of either party on the question
within the past year. Republicans in
charge of the framing of a tariff
measure have adopted Democratic
ideas regarding the raising of revenue
by means of internal taxes, while
Democratic senators. when passing
upon that same tariff measure. have
been found advocating and voting for
ultra protective duties. Party lines, in
measure. have been thrown down,
and Republicans and Democrats have
quilted their respective camps and
gone into those of their whilom politi-
cal enemies and mingled on the most
friendly terms.
In view of all these facts why should
it longer be impossible to get both par
ties to agree to the appointment of
permanent tariff commission? The APP
pointment of such a commission would
relieve both parties, as thirgs are now
going. of some very disagreeable en-
barrassments in future campaigns. It
would also take a vexed question out Of
politics and relieve the people of their
anxiety over the perpetually recurring
tariff tinkering. Everybody would
welcome the elimination of the tariff
question as an active issue from poll
tics The time was never so propitious
for the appointment of tariff commits
sion as now
