Working on the Tariff.

While the Senate took a holiday on
account of the dedication of the Grant
tomb in New York, the finance commit
tee, or rather the subcommittee hay
ing the tariff bill under consideration
is supposed to have been diligently at
at work. Assuredly any interchangeable
effort on the part Of that committee
will be appreciated by the country.
Some of the free trade organs assume
to believe that the country is in no
hurry to have the tariff adjusted but
a more silly notion could hardly be con-
ceived SO long, however. as those
working upon the measure can SHOW
anything of value as the results of their
labors the people will wait patiently.
otherwise not though unfortunately
disapprobation very timely. No tariff
law was ever framed that was alto
gether perfect and probably never viii
be by human brains, Notwithstanding
the average free trade editor, utterly
oblivious of his dismal and atrocious
failure four years ago, would lead his
readers to suppose that he could ac-
complish just that. 1t is right to have
the measure carefully considered and
| the reason that it was so quickly
passed upon by the House was that it
| had been carefully considered by men
and because it was understood that it

the exigencies of the situation would
permit, after coming into possession of

Recent reports from Washington an
nounce that the committee will not re-
port the retrospective clause and have
decided that the bill as it comes from
the House will not provide sufficient
revenue. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Dingley. when he evidently was not
| taking into consideration the retro
spective clause estimated that the bill
| would not provide sufficient revenue
the first year unless it went into effect
by the first of May, and that for every
weeks delay there would be $1,000, O00

portations in anticipation of the higher
tariff. Just how much the threat of a

cannot be accurately estimated, but no
doubt the effect has been considera BILE

The other cabin is one in which the
President OF the late confederacy was
born. 1t came from near Fairview Todd
county. Ky. Mr.. Davis was born here IN
1908. and when 66 years old was given
banquet by old citizens of Flirview in
the very same cabin. In responding TO a
toast he referred to the fact that he had
stood in the halls of the Montezumas, In
the halls of Congress, and in other MS
toric places in America and other coun-
tries. but none of these had stirred his
emotions as much as when once again

was born.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
A Cure for Cruelty.

There has never been time when
crimes exceedingly brutal in their ma
ture were 50 common as now. In one
days issue of the papers were accounts
Of a brutal robbery with threatened
burning to death. a man found in flames
and tied to ties and left to burn TO
death as well as several assaults with
weapons, and almost fatal injuries.
Crimes there always have been since the
first man was born into the world. but
crime accompanied by torture should
have been eliminated by this time.
Perhaps this cruelty may be due to a
lack Of teaching. We teach every thing
i'm our public schools but Ito love one an
other" and heart development with the
sympathy IL gives, is as necessary, no.
1t is more necessary to the moral growth

Gated brain has never been a prevention
of crime ON the contrary it has given

not go with criminal nature. II is pos
sibe to teach child to be tender, but
too often its parents do not realize the
need of such teaching.
Love and sympathy will prevent crime.
Develop them in childish hearts. and the
less the child has of these by nature the
more urgent is the need of mparting
hem by outward influences. Give them

The Birth Rate in France.

The French are much agitatcd over the
fact that the birth-rate is only - per
1869 whereas Germany's is ~ and Eng
lands 80. Moreover. the rate is slowly
but steadily decreasing. Now as without
babies you cannot have soldiers the
time will come when the German army
will outnumber the French army. If in
deed the French army does not dry up
entirely. This is dreadful prospect and
NJ Bertillou the noted criminoloGist

The End Of France
NJ. Leroy Beaulieu takes a less pessi-

ground that French babies though not

babies. The great production occurs in

families has been proposed. which strikes
us as q better idea than the inheritance

decreasing suicides are increasing in

living who know French from birth;

The New Senator from Kentucky.

Few men spring into such public no.

senator from Kentucky, who two weeks

accurate forecast of his political fu-

particularly brilliant member OF the

election, a member of the state Senate
and has long been a member OF the
Republican state committee. He is q

at the local schools, later taxing Il
course at Ewing college, Illinois He
also graduated from the Medical Uni

icine for two years Thinking law

fession and for the past eight years
has been successful practitioner. In
1892 he ran for Congress, and though
defeated. had the satisfaction of carry
ing several counties that had before
been Democratic In 1885, he went as
a delegate to the Republican nation
speaker, favors a moderate protective
tariff and is said by his friends to be
all right on the money question, though
he has been accused of a slight leaning
toward the free silver sentiment. When
all the circumstances attending his
election are considered there is little OF
no reason to expect him to be other
wise than Just the adherent needed in
the Senate at the present time. As
was pointed out in our dispatches from

worthy of note that if Republican har

describes him as "a triumphant soldier
in an Independent democracy" saying
that only i'm America can this be writ

is the word glory found in the de-
