expedite THE TARIFF"

The demand is being made that the
expedited and it should be; but it
should not be hurried. The congress
of the United States can scarcely I'M
dertake more important legislation
than that of enacting tariff law. 1t
is the making provision for raising
several hundred millions of dollars
each year. and the shaping of the
commercial and industrial policy of the
country. Surely all this is a matter
not 10 be hurried. What is needed is
full and careful consideration. To
hurry and not give this consideration
would be worse than filibustering. The
matter should be given the considera-
ton its Importance demands; it should
be discussed fully and with becoming
dignity.
There would not be so much talk
about expediting the tariff were not the
people of the country but too we'll
aware that it is the intention of the
party in power to pass tariff bill such
as suits it. whether it suits the people
or not This is the reason for the
hurry up demand: this fully explains
why there is no insisting that a matter
of such moment and consequence shall
not be duly deliberated and given such
thorough and careful consideration as
there would otherwise be. There is a
general conviction that the tariff bill
is TO be damned" through. and such
being the case all feel that the sooner
the tanning" is over the better it
will be. Nowhere is there an abiding
faith in the ability and craftsmanship
of congress TO deal with the question
as it should be dealt with but only a
desire to be rid. of bad job as soon
as possible.
1t must be said in favor of the senate
that thus far it has given the tariff
bill far fuller and fairer consideration
than the house did. The house simply
rushed the matter through blindly and
at the bidding Of it's master.

WEIGHT OF THE EARTH.

]. H. Schooling in Strand Magazine
According to the most accurate calcu-
lations the earth weighs $685. 600 900,
100000, 100000 tons, or 12,13s. 900. 900 900,
600, O00, 100000 pounds. Here are a few
Imaginary experiments which serve to
show just what these figures mean
The vast amphitheatre in Rome called
the Coliseum, was commenced to be
built by the Emperor Vespasian in A.
D., rs, and was finished by the EN-
peror Titus in A. D. so. This big cir
Gus could hold $1,000 persons. Suppose
now that these people, 81 900, as a pen
ance, had been condemned to do moth
ing but sit in their seats and coun.
out the weight of the earth at the rate
of 100 tons minute for each ghost
not pounds mind you, but tons. One
can count 100 in minute easily enough
for the first minute or so, but when
one gets up into even the hundreds,
nine ninety-one, ''nine-ninety-two,'
nine ninety-three," etc, ETC.. to count
100 in one minute is very smart work.
especially If one has to count in Ro-
man notation, as, of course, these 81 900
Roman ghosts muSt-for they don't
know any other notation. We will as
sumo that these $1,000 Roman ghosts
started on the job of counting the
weight OF the earth IN A. ID. 80. at Inc
rate of 100 tons per minute for each
ghost, and that they have sat in the
seats doing nothing but count, right up
to the present year, 1897 During these
1877 years of counting by the 1900
ghosts a fairly large nupnber has re-
suited as the total of the work of all
of them-say, in round numbers, S.314.
000, 900. 900, 000 tons, have been counted
out of the weight of the earth. But this
number achieved by the 81, 900 ghosts

circumstances such as tteSe-is SO pal
try when compared with the number of
tons we set them TO work at, that the
whole of their work has no appreciable
effect upon the weight of the earth,

counted by the $1,000 Roman ghosts
during 1871 years of incessant hard
labor, still requires a row of % figures

cHAUNcEy F. BLACK TALKS.

Hon. Chauncey T. Black. president of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs, was in Washington one day last
week and to a reporter expressed him
self quite freely on the question of
politics in Pennsylvania Asked if Mr.
Harrity did not represent the Pennsyl-
vania Democrats on the national COM
mittee, he replied:
NO. he does rot represent the Demo-
Gratis of Pennsylvania gentleman
who has left the Democratic party and
united with another for the purpose of
aiding third, cannot be supposed to
represent it anywhere. Hr. Harrity
may have very good claim TO posi-
ton on the national committee of either
wing of the Republican party; either
that which met last year at ST. Louis,
or that which met at indianapolis.
But only a Democrat can serve on a
Democratic committee He has never
met with the Democratic national COM
mittee, and evidently does not regard
himself as a member. The vacancy
will likely be filled by the next state
convention"
AeiL NdS SOOQ SlTdlS0I driving at
Mr. Harrity and while what was said
seems harsh, vet it is true. Mr.. Har-
rity may belong to the National Demo-
cratic party but he certainly does not
belong to the Democratic party of the
nation.
Asked what he thought of Mr..
Bryans present hold on the people, Mr..
Black said:
His strength with the Democratic
masses has been constantly on the in
crease. We will never have another
delegation from Pennsylvania bound
by the obnoxious unit rule; and if the
people were choosing delegates today
to a national convention no one but
Mr.. Bryan would be seriously con-
sidered in Pennsylvania. He is in
comparably the ablest leader we have
had in modern times"
1t is natural for Mr.. Black and all |
Democrats to speak in the most en-
thusiastic terms of Mr.. Bryan but there |
is no doubt that gentleman has grown 4
in the estimation of the American |
people. Even those who opposed him
violently in the late campaign cannot I
but admire him for the very manly /
course he has pursued since his defeat.
They all admit he has been great in [
defeat.

MoDIFIED JOY.

The grass is green, the leaves are out,
Sweet spring is here, beyond Il doubt.
The azure skies
Unmeasured depths of blue appear,
The blossoms and the birds are here,
Likewise the flies.
The bees are buzzing round the hive,
The growing garden seems alive
With budding germs.
The apple trees are just sight,
With dainty blossoms, pink and white,
And canker worms.
The pansy beds are bright with bloom,
The lilacs with their sweet perfume
The senses WOO.
A sense of joy your being floods:
The rose bushes are fun of buds,
And rose bugs, too.
Yes, It is really spring once more.
The joyous time of heliebore
And budding hope,
The time for using Paris green,
4 season for enjoyment keen,
And whale-oil soap.

POLITICAL HARANGUES FROM
THE BENCH.

If there is one place in all the world
to which a demagogue should not be
elevated it is the judicial bench. Still
they sometimes are placed there. Butte
appears to- have such a judge. In SEN
fencing a prisoner to a long term, no
doubt well deserved, he took occasion
to deliver a harangue on the state of
the nation. He gravely and bombast-
ically remarked that these were pc
culiar times in which we are living:
that he knew they were badly out OF
joint. He went on to declare that
100000 are out of work in the United
States and are on the verge of starva-
ton, and are without houses or homes.
The judge wound up by declaring:
L know our statesmen and politicians
have misrepresented the people of the
United States and contracted the cir
culating medium of the nation from SCI
per capita until we haven't in free cir
culation SO per capita. and that they
have done this against the will of the
people and to please the money power
of the world. 1 know the consequence
has been the great increase in crime
that great many workingmen are re-
duced to a condition to rob. steal or
starve. But you are not of this class of
worthy poor. You are habitual
criminal"
What was the sense of all this? What
has the amount of circulation per CAPT
ia got to do with the sentencing of a
burglar? Is it possible the judge
thought that perhaps the reduction in
the per capita circulation might in
duce man to commit crime and that
he would be partially justified?
To one viewing from afar what Judge
Clancy said to this poor devil of a
burglar it looks as though he had
made the sentencing OF the man the
occasion for delivering a political ha-
rangue from the bench, the last place
in the world from which ii should be
delivered The harangue viii have no
effect save TO forfeit respect for the
judge who delivered it, as it should.

MEMORIAL DAY.

1t is a beautiful and holy custom
this setting aside one day in the year
to be devoted to the decoration Of
graves. First dedicated to the decor
alton of the graves of those who died
that the nation might live. it has be-
come universal and is observed in re-
membrance of all the dead. The living
sorrow for the dead; but the dead, the
blessed dead. these are beyond pain
and sorrow. The sorrow of the world
is in the heart and not in the grave.
How close and near are the living to
those who are no longer of this earth.
Yesterday those who walked upon the
earth, beholding the grandeur and
glory of the heavens and the beauty of
the world, are no more, while those
who walk upon it today shall be no
more tomorrow. Honor the dead and
let flowers be strewn over their graves.
In all the year there is no higher, holier
day than Memorial Day. 1t should
ever be observed. and in observing it,
the remembrance of its first institution
should never be forgotten.
There is no flock. however watched and
tended,
But one dead lamb is there:
There is no fireside, howso'er defended.
But has one vacant chair"

a Slip OF the Tongue.

The correspondent of great eastern
daily newspaper narrated to a group
of friends the other day, says the New
York Tribune. how slip of the tongue
destroyed his chances of obtaining
some matter he was seeking earnestly,
and involved him in an unpleasant ex-
perience with one of the supreme court
justices. He received a letter instruct
ing him to see the chief Justice and
the associate justices of the supreme
court and ask each of them to con-
tribute TO the columns CT his paper a
short essay on subject pertaining to
the history of the supreme court. He
glanced over the note of instructions
hurriedly, and when he met Justice
Field short time later he was not
certain of its contents. To refresh his
memory he drew the letter from his
pocket and began to read from it TO
the associate justice the instructions
which had been sent TO him. In the
body of the letter was this sentence:
"Of course the old buffers do not ex-
pect 10 be paid for this work" the cor
respondent read hurriedly, and he ran
right into this sentence before he knew
where he was stopped. He stopped in
the middle of it and was about to omit
the remainder when Justice Field said:
Hold on. What is that? Let me
see that for moment.
''Oh, that's of no consequence, judge"
said the correspondent
Just let me look at 1t for minute"
said Justice Field. He glanced over
the correspondents shoulder and read
the sentence. There was a twinkle in
his eye that showed that he appreci-
afed the humor of the situation, but
the correspondent said to himself:
This ends my search for essays" It
did not end the search, but it might as
well have ended it, for none of the
essays were ever written. Justice
Field appreciates joke, but he does
not like to encourage 1t at his own
expense

The protectionists are surely modify
ing their views; becoming more con-
sentative. more logical. The Chicago
Times-Herald commenting on Senator
Aldrich's speech presenting the tariff
bill to the senate says:
There will be no dissent from the
view expressed by Senator Aldrich with
reference TO the disastrous results of
radical changes in the tariff, such as
we experienced in 1894, and there will be
no sagreement ON the contention that
new industrial conditions must be taken
into account in considering the rates to
be imposed at this time. The urgent
need that must be recognized by the
protectionists of both houses is the re-
adjustment of rates so that they will
be sufficiently protective to domestic in
terests without making them prohi-
bitiVe
If the legitimate result of the protect
i've policy is to give the American mar
kst to American producers the revenue
growing out of protective duties must
disappear in proportion TO the success
that is attained in securing control of
the home market. This means that we
must look for other sources of revenue.
The world moves forward and the
protectionists with it.
