crease the chance of the preparation of
the very fraud of which the people so bit
terly complain. When the tax an article
Is high its sale must be secret unless the
producer is willing to assume the burden
of the tax. In order to keep the sale of
butterine secret it must be sold under an
other name. in other words, as butter. 1t
must command, too. the market price of
butter, else suspicion is aroused as to its
character. Thus there is double reason for
perpetratng the fraud when the tax is high.
Not only is the profit increased by lodging
the tax and selling at the butter rate, but
the danger of detection and punishment is
averted As matter of fact the domestic
interests might be more distinctly subserved
by an abolition of the tax on these imita-
tions. for thea the producers could afford to
sell them at their normal price and still
command. in the absence of tax, very
large profit and the temptation to defraud
the consumer would not be great as 1t
is with the tax bringing the cost of produc
ton to a higher point But the people do
not demand any change in the taxation sys-

The Vacation Schools.



Most school children are anxious for the
summer vacation and a respite from les
sons, books and school rooms This desire
is natural and proper, and where the
change from school confinement to the
fresh, healthy outdoor life of the country
is possible the opportunity should be in
Varlabiy made the most of. Unfortunately
there is class of children in all large
cities who are not as well off at home or
in the streets in school, and for this
class provision is being made in a few
large cities Phladelp hia included in what
are Known as vacation, or summer schools
The experiment proved very successful
in this city in the Livingston Public School
peated on much more extended scale. 1t
is well to say. by way of explanation that
the vacation school has very little to do
with books and Rotations The children
are educated in the more natural and effec-
tive manner through intelligently-directe
play visits to the park, the ZOO Bartram's
Garden, Independence Hall, the picture GAL
leries and museums, and excursions to At
lantic City and the country. The children
are trained in politeness patriotism. love of
nature and other important directions and
kept away from the sitting homes and hot
Sweltering streets into the bargain
The councils have been asked for the
small sum of $1,000 to continue this yaca-
ton school work through the present vaca-
ton season. and the money should be voted
without hesitation. In no way could a
similar sum be applied to produce better re-
suits for the unfortunate children who can
enjoy no summer vacation in search of
health and rest from arduous school
work. Help the vacation schools to helm
the children of the poor to tolerabIe and
beneficial vacation season

Gen. Otis cables that a conference will be

declare an armistice with this treacherous
TagaI when the chances Of complete sue
cess are 50 prepOnderant. An armistice
under the circumstances would be a golden
gift to the enemy. The Insurgents give no
guarantees that the negotiations will be sat

The announcement by ex-senator PETER
that he has returned to the republican fold
need cause no great surprise. He states
the case with frankness. Originally re-
publican. he left the party al d time when
Kansas and other western states as the
result Of crop failures were struggling with
Very lean years. The people were mitch
disheartened. and in their distress many of
them ascribed their troubles to the financial
policy of the republican party. But with
the revival of good times. with business
thriving and the farmers of the west on
high ground again. Mr.. PETER sees the error
of his hasty conclusions and resumes his
old political relations.
The next tWelvemonth will probably re-
veal throughout the west many men like
Mr.. PETER. The populst party in that sec
ton as originally formed was recruited
almost entirely from the republicans. The
hard times explained the organization there.
Such pIanks in the platform as the initia-
tive and referendum. government owner
ship and control of railroads and telegraph
lines, and government loans on crops and
live stock. were largely fancy touches. de-
signed to finish off and attract attention to
the propaganda for larger volume of
money. But more mOney-enough of it a
least to ease up the whole situatiOn-has
come by the old agencies; and many of
these men. with the wrinkles in their stom-
aChs filled out and their wallets again in
shape. are willing to postpone a general
reforming of the government to a later day.
But what will Bryan do? The Nebraska
leader cannot afford to recognize yield
to the good times. They have arrived not
only without his consent but against his
predictions. He cannot abandon free silver.
He cannot afford 10 confess himself in error
about silver other refuge has he none.
