A little over year ago the veteran poll
ticians of the Republican party who We're
assembled at st. Louis for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for the presidency
were thrown into q state of WOnderment
over the political sagacity shown by a
young Indianapolis newspaper man. who

flourish of trumpets or noisy harangue
took charge of the Mckinley movement in
the convention city.
1t did not take long, however for the old
timers to recognize in this young man a
master spirit, and before the convention
was over they We're unanimous in declar-
ing him the smoothest thing in q political
way they had run across in many a day

Works Harder Than Railway Train
man, but Is Not Rated as High.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

You often think it's hard for the passen-
ger conductor of an accommodation train,
which stops at two or three stations TO the
mile to tell who has paid his fare and who
has not The conductor of a short-run &C.
cOmmodation train especially must be a
peculiarly gifted man. He must be at once
both coOl-headed and eVen-tempered, or II
not he is a total failure.
But if the requisites of a railroad con-
ductOr are such, what are the requirements
of the man who runs a common street car?
Why. as much as those of the railroad man.
and several times more. The railroad ac-
commodation conductor on one of the
short-run trains which leave the big cities
have little more work. little more RESPONSE
bility and require less real skill than the
man who by grace is called conductor on
the trolley car of one of our cities.
Both men, of course, have thousands of
cares. The railroad man has certain
number of stops to make and a certain
schedule time allowed for getting over his
run of the railroad. The street-car con-
ductOr has an uncertain number of stops
to make, yet he still has his certain sched-
ule time to make on his run, and he must
make it, too, or be able to give an "A No.
l. excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the big
gest man on his train. Is ever the street.
car conductor the biggest, unless every pas
senger is off and the motorman also? These
things make it hard Tor the patient man,
who must be polite, and who is expected by
the company for which he works and
spurred on by a dozen or so sharp,,eyed
they call themselves, to feel as lovely as a
spring morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly so The railroad con-
ductor doesn't meet that phase of existence
once in decade or. if so, not any oftener
No one presumes TO expect so much from
the knight of the ticket punch as he does
from the knight of the trolley rope Every
one who travels on street cars expects the
conductor TO know every cross street on
his line and Just where il strikes that
street; and. indeed. he should know this
much; but in addition he is expected to

along which his line runs, every one who
lives in all the countless streets which cross
the route of his car and then all the i'm

bundles, never get tired OF all the ques-

WASHINGTON. July 31.-The comparison
of the present tariff law with the Wilson
act authorized by Congress has been COM
pleted. 1t was made by Charles II. Evans,
who has been engaged in some capacity in
the preparation of all the tariff bills with
which Congress has dealt since 1872. The
comparison is made in rates expressed in
ad valorem terms between the present law
and the Wilson law. The statement places
the average duty rate under the new law at
H.66 per cent. ad valorem. as against an
average of 1910 under the Wilson law, the
averages being figured on the basis of
values in 1896. The schedules show the fol-
lowing increases in percentages: Chemi-
Gals, from 1858 to 1867; woods and woolens,
4762 to 1854; silks, from 1886 to 53.41; earth

WASHINGTON. July S1.-Surgeon Cen
eral Wyrhan. of the Marine Hospital serv-
ice, has had translated the account written
by DIR. Sanarelli, of Montevideo, of his dis
covery Of what he claims to be the yellow
fever germ, and which he calls the
victeroid bacillus. He says the bacillus
was discovered in the second case ex-
amined. The doctor dwells on the diff
Guilty of making sure of results because of
the numerous microbes found in yellow
fever patients. The particular germ which
he holds to be responsible for yellow fever,
DR.. Sanarelli says, is found in the blood
or tissues and not in the gastro-intestinal
cavity. He notes the fact, however, that
in yellow fever, as in typhoid, that the
digestive tract is the seat of abundant
baclli coli, but he does not associate these
with real yellow fever microbe. He con-
cludes, therefore, that the virus of yellow
fever does not reside in the intestinal tube,
and that its toxin. instead of being alb
sorbed by the intestinal walls, is elabor-
ated in the interior of the organs and in
the blood.
