ONE OF J. ADAMS jokes.

j. Adam Bede fairly bubbles over with
humor in his cheerful consideration of
the objection raised by the mossbacks
Of his party that he has not been long
enough in the Republican party to be
sufficiently seasoned to make good con-
gressional timber. Adams humor is of
the delicious variety that perpetrates it's
choicest without the crack of smile
1t is rare quality that enables a man
to say the drollest things with % minis
terial face while all around him are
roaring with laughter And J. Adam
maintains the sobrfety Of face that the
deacon puts on when passing the contri-
button box
Reaching the tariff, in his grand round
Of what are popularity supposed to be
Republican principles, he says that 81
ers the difference in cost of production
between our own and any competing
nation, be that tariff high or low" The
rich humor of this will be highly appre-
ciated by the lumbermen in Adams dis
triet and elsewhere. One can imagine
Jim Tawney nudging them in the ribs
and Joining the general guffaw when he
gets together with them again to rig up
some scheme for keeping Canadian lum-
Der out of the market. And Adam says
1t without wink or the suspicion Of a
eyoi1o ,,,,o, J,j- rro,ioJ
The tariff is laid, theoretically, to COM
pensate for the difference in labor cost
of production. Carroll D. Wright, United
States labor commissioner, reported to
the senate finance committee that had
the DingEey bill under consideration
that the labor cost of making lumber in
Canada was $1.23 q thousand and SO
cents In the United States. Bedes tariff
on lumber therefore, would have to pro-
vide a bonus for Canadian lumber Of some
30 cents a thousand to make matters stand
on even footing. Our patriotic lumber
men have already absorbed all the 81
tariff got for them by Tawney and re-
Gently lifted prices another dollar, the
extra dollar being put on, supposedly, to
pay for the oleomargarine they feed their
men on. Bede has seldom been funnier
than in this tariff policy Of his.

REVULsION ON TREATY.

Paris Newspapers Take Il Different
View of American Agreement.
PARIS, July 27.-The Temps, in an ar
ticle printed today, expresses the belief
that fuller light upon the Franco-Amer-
lean treaty would not be superflous,
adding:
What is known, however is sufficient

The G o e has no purpose or desire
to interfere in any way in the remark
able controversy which now prevails
among the Republican politicians Of this
city and county regarding the election
of an assessor. 1t has as little interest
In Mr.. Seng as it has in Mr. RIFT The
same is true with reference to the great
bulk Of the taX-paying community. It IS
of no earthly moment to anybody who
is not a local Republican politician
whether Seng continues to hold his pres
ent position or is succeeded by Mr.. Ritz.
What the G o e is interested in. how
ever, and what every intelligent taxpay-

LONDON, July 2S-The aspect Of the
South African crisis has been little
changed by the latest news, but the ques-
ton seems to have arrived at a dead
lock. The blue book issued yesterday
which brings the history of the case
down to July g. is chiefly interesting as
showing that the Cape ministry disap-
proved President Kruger's latest propos-

Vaal refused friendly negotiations with
the British government before promul-
eating the franchise bill. 1t is under

since that period between Great Britain
and the Transvaal.
The firm speech Of A. J. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury and government
leader in the house Of commons, at a
Conservative luncheon yesterday, which
was the subject of much discussion in
the Hobbies of the house of commons last

President Kruger with the necessity for
further concessions and to check the ru-
mors of a lack of solidarity in the Brit
1sh cabinet on the question.
The South African debate comes on in
Balfour's strong line supporting Mr.
Chamberlain is meant to discount by an.
ticipation any indiscreet speeches that
might proceed from the Liberal sideof
the house, founded on Lord Salisbury's
reticence, which has been interpreted az
disapproval of Mr.. Chamberlain's policy.

object of the scheme is to aid the res
