Since protection is ordained to stand
as our national policy for an indefinite
period, will our free trade contempo-
raries contend that the tailors and
other makers Of and dealers in gar
ments, are less entitled to share the
benefits of that policy than their fel-
loW-citizens engaged in other kinds Of
business? Is there any more reason
why A should bring in a years stock
of clothing for himself and family free
of duty than for permitting B to bring
in an importation of wines, olive oil,
cheese, or pickles?
The free trade newspapers are sneer-
ing at the small amount of revenue
collected under this clause of the tar
if. The Springfield Republican, for
instance, says: Some $4,000 in GUS
toms duties was collected during Oc-
tober on the personal baggage of re-
turning American travellers who land
ed at New York. At this rate the
yearly revenue from that source would
be less than 100000, against Mr.
Dingley's estimate of $1O,00O,OOO."
Well, a yearly revenue of 100000 is
by no means contemplate item. But
that, considerable as it is at a time
when revenues are behind expenditures
is no gauge of the effect of that tax
There is every reason to believe that
but for the personal baggage tax many
millions worth of goods would have
been brought home in trunks. free of
duty, that have come and will con-
tinue to come as freight. This is the
chief benefit of that provision. 1t

tom for many years to put into the es-
Inmates simply the amount which in

ever, the new law enacted by last con-
gress compels the secretary to put in

priations will be more than one-third
of this sum.

Joining the Salvation Army.

Mary B. would like very much to
join the Salvation Army, but her fam
lily and friends oppose her so violent
ly that she has not the courage to take
the step. She knows that her whole
heart and soul are absorbed in their
work and feels that there is no field
in which she could be so useful to the
world and so satisfactory to herself.
It is almost matter Of conscience
with her, but she has been brought up
to the habits of the strictly obedience
to her parents. She is only twenty
years of age and some of her people
advise her to wait a year or so and
see if her present enthusiasm con-
tinues. If so she will be of age and
can do as she pleases; if not the ques-
ton will settle itself. Answer: The
counsel of your friends is eninently
wise and proper. Young persons often
take violent fancies and become filled
with philanthropic ideas that they
abandon as they grow older and see
more of the world. The best course
for you to pursue is to keep your
heart full of benevolence and good
works, and if, when the year or two
of waiting has rolled round, you still
desire to become a Salvation Army

willing to join with this country in an
attempt to bring about an agreement
upon this subject, and closes his dis
cussion OF this question by saying that
he has still reason to hope that the Ia
bOrs OF this commission may result in
an International agreement which will
bring about recognition of both gold
and silver money upon such terms and
with such safeguards as will secure the

will work no injustice to any class of

The recent victory Of the fusionists
in Nebraska" said Editor Edward
Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, was in
no sense victory for Organism. 1t
was a protest of the voters against the
disgraceful boodlerism that had char
acterized state and municipal officials
who happened to be Republicans The
state treasurer, the state auditor and
the city treasurer of Omaha had all
been guilty of purloining the public
funds, and the Republican party had
to suffer for their sins.
1.-The voters thought that the best
way to rebuke such conduct was to de-
feat the party to which these men be-
longed, and there was no thought of
any other issue. Mr.. Bryan, of course,
claims the fusion success as a personal
triumph, but those who know the real
conditions in Nebraska laugh at his
pretensions. The Republican party has
undergone its ordeal, and henceforth
it will push to the fore. The people of
Nebraska are with it On all the leading
questions, and it is certain to come
back into power"

why u Horse Hates n Camel.


Animals have their likes and dis
likes as well as men, and they are
quite as hard to explain. A cat nat
urally dislikes and fears a dog. The
elephant hates mice and dogs. Horses
loathe camels, and will not stay in the
same block with them if they can help
1t. 1t IS hard to give a cause for these
aVersions. Why should the horse dis
like the harmless camel and be fond
OF the dog? 1t must be that the horse
has a dormant sense of beauty and of
humor. The ideal of the horse is
grace, combined with strength. He
dlsapproves from the bottom of his ma
ture of the hopelessly vulgar, awkward
and unesthetical camel. The bear, he
sees at once, though clumsy, is unpre-
tentious, truthful and not devoid of
sense of humor. The dog he recog-
niZes as good fellow, companionable
and unselfish. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are
both fond of sport, whereas a camel
would not go an inch to see the best
race that was ever run.

REPUBLICAN, OPINION.

good deal Of distress has been felt
in the minds OF democratic editors for
the past few days over the fact that
the estimates OF the treasury depae!-
ment sent TO congress at the opening *
the session indicate an apparent de-
ficit of S21,647 1856 during the fiscal year
which ends June 80, 1899. 1t is proper
to say, with reference to this estimate,
that recently enacted law requires
the war department to put into its esti-
mate for the expenditures of the COM
Ing year all estimates made by subor-
dinate officers of needed expenditures
upon the river and harbor works where
they are employed. The result of this
Is that the estimates for river and haT-
Dor improvements alone amounted to
500. .4O0, 10000, which, of course, is from
forty to fifty million dollars more than
Will be appropriated for that purpose.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
hgures were excessive, the treasury de-
partment was compelled under the law
to include them in it's so-called esti-
mates, knowing full well they were
absolutely excessive, and that the ap-
preparation for this work would fall
probably S5O,OOO,0Vv below the figures
named. These circumstances account
for the fact that the official figures es-
Innate An apparent deficit of $21 ,OOO,-
900, when, in fact, it is expected that
there will be surplus Of at least that
amount in the year in question.
