a RosE.MAD TOWN.

Where the Houses Are Overed with
Beautiful Blossoms.
Pasadena makes a@specialty of S
and recently closed q two days festival
Of roses. From first to last it was a
magnificent proof Of the extent ia
which San GabrieTs gardens have been
devoted to the culture of the queen Of
flowers. Nothing but roses were per.
missible, nnd the limitation seemed I'd
have not the slightest effect toward
the diminution OF the decorations.
When the show was over the pretty
town was literally s%mothered in roses,
and under foot everywhere was a car.
pet Of crushed and broken buds and
blooms, while the air was heavy with
their fragrance. Pasadena introduced
another striking novelty in holding its
battle Of roses at night under the glare
Of the electric light. The parade OF
the daytime was ~maryelously beauti.
full and gorgeous, but that at night left
it far behind. The effect of the lights
on the moving masses of flowers was
enhancing in a degree impossible to
describe.
LOT the W days of the carnival the
town was simply rose-mad. Houses
and store fronts, in ana of the streets
where the PROFESSIONS moved, were
hidden by banks and festoons Of the
richest flowers. Decorators lavished
the choicest varieties on the arches
spanning the main streets and on ropes
stretched from every vantage point.
And yet, after it was all over, the visitor
would not have known, from looking
At the gardens, that there had been
any spoliation Of their treasures.
Bushes and clambering vines by near
" every fence ana gateway and on the
house fronts were laden as heavily as
in any seaeon. Pasadena had wasted
roses by the million and did not feel
the loss.-N II. Times.

NOT 4 TARIEE ZOE REVENUE
The DingIey BlIl Would Never RuiId
Up the NATIONAL Income.

The D1BGIey B3Il would ever IuAEO
Up the NationnI Income. 81
When the Dingley bill was before
the house the Free Press took occasion
to remark that whatever else it might
be it was not a revenue bill because
it did not provide for any revenue. It
looks very much now as if the same
remark would apply with equal force
to the senate bill. One by one the rev
enue features-or what were exploited.
as such in Senator Aldrich's programme
have disappeared. Senators have
awakened to the knowledge that rev
enue. taxes have to be paid by some.
body; and they have begun to suspect
that their own constituents may be
among the number of those who will
be called on. They may not all believe
that the foreigner pays the dutiesion
IMPORTS but the most of them think
they can make their constituents be-
lieve that fairy tale while they know
by sad experience that no such shift
ing of the burden of revenue taxes is
possible even in imagination. u.
1t is q hard task the senate has set
Itself by its latest move, the task of
satisfying the taxpayer, the consumer
and the producer all with one and the
same bill. We do not believe it will
succeed. The chances are that it will
meet with the fate Of the father and
sen in the fable and in trying to please
everybody viii end by pleasing mo-
body. But if the senators will only
adopt some kind of a bill, get the house
to concur and then adjourn it win merit
thu warmest thanks of a suffering
country. Sugar, thanks to its action,
is going to be high, and there is likely
to be a heavy deficiency in the yenue
for the coming year. But these are
minor evils compared with tariff tim
kering. The country can adapt itself
to almost anything in the way of a
tariff after its experience with the Nc
Kinley act. But it cannot adapt itself
to continued uncertainty.-Detroit
