The people of San Francisco have given unmis-

ecutive committee, but many thousands In
addition to the sums thus donated other large

REEDS RESIGNATION.

HUMORS Of many kinds concerning the prob
~ able course OF Tom Reed have been rife
since his return from Europe. For some rea
son he refused to state whether or no he would re-
sign his seat in Congress- and such statements as he
made concerning political subjects inclined good
many people to believe that while he would not be
candidate for the Speakership he would remain in
Congress during the coming session for the purpose
OF taking part in shaping the policy OF the country
toward Cuba and the Philippines.
To all such rumors he has now put an end by send
ing his resignation Of his seat in Congress to the Gov
ernor OF Maine The strongest personal force in
American politics has retired from it. and the loss to
the republic is much greater than it would be easy to
tell The recent development of American politics is
such to make conservatism in official station OF the
highest value to the country Mr.. Reed could have
been counted to oppose all foolish schemes OF i'm
peria annexation and foreign conquests Just as reso-
lutey as he opposed all wildcat money schemes and
1t is for that his retirement will be depored by
intelligent men OF all parties.
short time ago, in discussing the immigration
problem, Mr. Reed is reported to have declared there
would be grave inconsistency in shutting out immi-
grants from Europe on the score Of their unftness
for republican government and American citizenship
while at the time expendng millions of treasure
and thousands OF lives in forciby annexing to the
OnlteQ StateS lSlandS OF the Orient SWarmlng with
people unfit to assirnilate with Americans
than any seeking admission as immigrants. By that
statement he made clear his appreciation of the
menace OF imperialism and inspired hope that he
would remain in Congress to fight it.
The republic stands at the parting of the ways.

which road to take 1t is uncture that calls for the

The retirement of Reed will therefore be noted with
more regret for Congress to lose his leadership at
time when that leadership is perhaps more needed
than ever.
Fortunately, Mr.. Reeds retirement is not likely
to be permanent Other great statesmen have retired
before Henry Clay left politics to go home TO
repair his fences, he said but it was not long be-
tore he grew weary OF farming and gladly prohted by
an opportunity to return to the Senate Mr.. Blaine
also retired from politics at one time but returned
again. Many another statesman has done the same

OF the Hanna bill. One would think that
In a seaport city like San Francisco il
would be impossible to find an intelligent
thinking man opposed to measure calcu-
lated to promote the welfare OF this peo-
pie. as well as the interests of the Pacific
is here.
The amendment to the bill introduced at
the instance Of Hugh Craig, namely, that
an export bounty be paid upon all farm
produce, was a body blow. It was a sense
less, Wanton and cruel blow. This amend
ment was intended to have but one effect

rms community cannot afford TO be
apatheuc in the matter, as it strikes a
vital DlOW at the progress and prosperity
OF this port as commercial center.
Immediately Congress meets steps

amendment Withdrawn. Congress should
not nave an opportunity to discuss II, as
discussion will only tend to confuse the
whole subject matter without correspond
ing benefit to either industry
Was il Self-interest, spite or nOtOriety
that induced Mr.. Craig to have such a
fatal amendment proposed to this bill?
Whatever his motive, he has done the
measure irreparable injury without doing
the farming interests any good
Mr.. Craig could not have studied the
effects of the measure as regards farm
produce
The Hanna bill can be classed as a di-
rect bounty to the farming interests as
well as to the shipping. The bounty-fed
foreign vessels that to-day are carrying g
most of our foreign trade will be COM
peting for a share of our trade even after
our subsidized vessels are running. The
result will be reduced freghts. The
farmer, of all men, is the one who is
bound to profit by this competition, as it
will enable him to land his farm produce
in foreign ports cheaper than he can do so
to-day. All this means Increased profits
and cheaper freights, which means greater
advantage over competitors in the foreign
markets of the world.
No. Mr.. Craig, you have committed a
grievous hlunder and seriously affected
the probable passage Of a measure so well
calculated to assist an important but per-
fishing industry and the only way by
which you can repair the damage is by
causing the withdrawal Of your gu "a amend, end

to see that it is done.

boned like d bodice, and the dress being
for warm spring out-of-door use, the bod
ice was not planned to serve over an I'M
der waist.
A great kindness to slender women is
apparent above the belt in many finely
fashionable gowns. This lies in the pre-
servation of Russian blouse lines. These
blouse echoes are found in many forms,
but none is more attractive than was the
combination of blouse and polonaise put
in the next picture. Here they were blend
ed in a very graceful and modsh garment.
The bodice really ended ut the belt and
what seems to be the continuation of 1t
below was part of the skirt, but it
might be made separately if preferred.
The skirt was two-piece, rather than a
double skirt; that is, the upper part of
stone gray cloth was one with the silk
that showed below the points. The latter
portion was dark gray bcngaline, with fig
ures in blue outlined in black. Black rib
bon velvet edged the cloth. and blue crys-
tai buttons were added. To have sleeves
to match the under dress or an effect of
il is to hint that you are in touch with at
least one Of the latest wrinkles.
The polonaise is so finely adapted to all
over lace materials. which of themselves
are very stylish just now. that it is sure OF
fashionable favor throughout the summer.
The example of this treatment shown here
was expensive, including tea-colored silk

illustration, adding to 1t the Smoke

AS to this cylinder, have it made of
sheet-iron (any blacksmith or tinsmith
ought to be able to do the work of riv-
citing 1t together), and be sure the drum
proper is of ample diameter to go over
any stump which you may wish to get
rid of. AS can be seen, the upper part
should taper, like cone. and terminate
in what will readily accommodate or
binary six-inch stove-pipe, three or
four lengths of which are sufficient to
make the whole arrangement act SINH
lar to n stove and so 'cremate' success
fully almost any kind of stump
OF course. the more pipe there is add
ed to the cylinder the fiercer the
draught will be. 1t will not do to have
1t too strong, however; otherwise the
drum part might collapse. Therefore,
when the fire Is first started and the
"crematory" has been placed in posi-
ton, the operator should watch 1t close
ly to see that it does not get too hot.
Provided 1t should begin to turn red,
earth ought to be applied around the
bottom of the cylinder until only just
enough air can gain admittance to keep
the fire going inside as desired. In this
way field of stumps can be cleared
out quite easily. and that to ones COM
