Washington, d. c., Dec. 21-Congress-

A Delicate Subject.

Two factions are just now fighting,
using all forms of petitions and per.
sonal influence to bear upon Picard,
Director General of the exposition.
One wants lots of Midway business
and most tolerant license, arguing
that no success Is possible other
wise.
The other side is afraid that from
the concession already granted the
grounds will be made impossible for
the respectable element and the young
people.
NJ Berenger, Vice President of the
Senate, has just written to Picard an
urgent request that all vigilance be
exercised to keep the disreputable
sideshows out. The letter is counter
signed by many of the most prominent
Senators and cannot be ignored. 1t
says that positive information has
reached the petitioners that under a
pretext of being instructive immoral
exhibitions Of dancing are being plan
ned.
Picard has not yet answered, but it
is known that the Director General
does not intend to have the big fair
austere or dull and his answer will be
curious reading.

EN- BEZZLEME ENT,
A Doubtful Charge When the Offender
ls Known Drlnker,


A Philadelphia Magistrate has sur.
pr1sed the business community in that
city by his disposition of a charge of
embezzlement. The defendant was
the driver of delivery wagon for a
firm of furniture dealers. Being sent
out to deliver goods and collect the
money for them from the purchasers.
he collected $l9, spent the entire sum
for drink and returned to his employ.
ers without cent. It appears that
they were well aware of his drunken
tendencies long before he thus appro.
priated their money.
The Magistrate refused to enter
tain the accusation of embezzlement
against the collector, saying: Where
a firm intrusts with money a person
whom they have reason to suspect of
intemperate habits and he does not
appropriate the ..oney to his own use
or make off with it otherwise than to
indulge in the qualification of his
habit, employers must understand
that 1t Is extremely doubtful whether
the crime of embezzlement sap be
made out under such circumstances"
In New York no act committed by a
person in a voluntary state of intoxi.
cation is deemed less criminal because
the defendant was intoxicated, but the
fact of his being in that condition is
always to be considered in ascertain.

A REAL JOKER.
This Dog Takes Delight in Perpetrat.
Inu Tricks

Ing Tricks.
Mr.. Storms, who keeps natural
tsts's emporium" in Third avenue.
New York, from which one may get
anything in the natural history line,
from monkey to a pug dog or a big
rattler to pollywog, is the owner of
a greyhound that is a practical Joker.
when the warm weather came he was
obliged to keep his store door open in
order to get more air for his numerous
animals. That some of his dogs. cats.
tortoises ETC.. that run about in the
store might not wander into the street,
Mr. Storms had closely woven gate
about four feet in height put into the
doorway.
The greyhound is pet of the family
and has been taught many tricks. One
OF her accomplishments is high Jump
ing, and her master, in order to amuse
the children of the neighborhood, and
exercise the dog at the same time. has
often made her jump the iron gate.
A woman carrying large bundle on
her head short time ago was fright.
ened into dropping it and runnins off
with piercing shrek when . large
greyhound alighted on the sidewalk
Immediately in front of her as if it
had dropped from the sky. The dog
seemed to join the laugh of the crowd
which had collected to watch her
graceful leaps. for her eyes twinkled
and her tail wagged at great rate.
Since then the dog has made a prac.
tice OF thus startling pedestrians by
Jumping the gate and landing direct.
iy in front Of them and after escaping
into the middle Of the street, to be out
OF reach of kick or a blow, it has
added insult to injury by appearing to
laugh at their discomforture. Watch.
the dog after one of these pranks it is
easy to agree with Mr.. Storms that
dogs like joke just as a man would,
and that the greyhound plays those
jokes out of pure fun.
Like many other practical jokers
the greyhound has gotten into trouble.
or rather she has succeeded in getting
her master into trouble, with the DO.
lice. Somebody has complained about
the dogs humorous proclivities, and
Mr.. Storms has been notified. that

Favorite Perfumes.

A great many well-known men and
women have been fond of different
scents, as is historically known, but
it is hard to say how far their char
aeters At in with this new idea. For
instance, Nero loved the scent of
roses, whether distilled or from the
freshly-cut flowers; Louis XIV. de.
lighted in the perfume of orange
flowers; while Richelieu liked a diff
erent scent in each of the rooms; the
Empress Josephine soaked her things
in musk; and Napoleon ID said to have
emptied a whole bottle of eau-de-
Cologne over his clothes when he was
dressed; Victor Hugo reioiced in wild
flowers; Alexandra Dumas loved the
Towering myrtle, and Charles Dickens
adored white Jasmine.

It has been said that the way to
reach a mans heart is by way of his
stomach, and the quickest way to
reach some mems political judgment
is through the same avenue. In 1896
no class Of men worked harder for
Hanna and Mckinley than the COM
mercial drummers, but now they see
thousands of their number thrown out
of employment and thousands more
threatened with a like fate by the gi-
gantic trusts that have sprung UP un-
der McKinleyism and are defended by
Mr.. Hanna as being worthy Of encour-
agement. The commercial drummers
and hotel men have formed an anti
trust league and incorporated it under
the laws of New York. They declare
in their manifesto that it makes no
difference whether we have free trade
or a protective tariff, whether the out
lying islands of the sea, proximate or
mote. are made colonies or not II the
commercial man must get off the road
and be deprived Of his position. They
should have learned long ago which
party is the friend Of monopoly and
capitalism, but as late is better than
never we shall expect them now to
turn in to help defeat the money trust
and tariff trust which are responsible
for most of the others.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-03-22

Mark Hanna should rebuke the COM
mercial travellers and hotel men who
have formed an antitrust league for
the purpose, as they say, of bringing
about more thorough cooperation in
agitating a widespread antitrust sem
timent, and to support with our votes
men who make a determined effort to
assist commercial travellers from Maine
to California in a legislative way"
These people evidently believe that
trusts are harmful, and they thus diff
fer from Hanna-Both cannot be right.

twenty years after the infamous act
was passed not member of either

There is no doubt as to where the
workingmen Of this country stand on
the subject Of Imperialism. The nine
teenth annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. held recently
at Detroit. passed the following reso-
luton: Resolved, That we are op-
posed to wars of conquest, either in At
rica or the Philippines; that we most
emphatically protest against the forci-
BILE annexation to this country of either
Porto Rico. Cuba, Guam or the Philip
pines, and that we are equally opposed
to any increase in the regular army of
the United States beyond the limit of
$4,000 enlisted men and officers" No
class of men so we'll understand the
dangers Of having a large standing
army as do those who labor with their
hands. Too often have their comrades
been shot down in cold blood on slight
provocation for laboring men to take
kindly to the military idea.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-03-22

No better illustration Of the supreme
selfishness of a protective tariff has
been afforded than that furnished by
the action Of the Pennsylvania Edi-
torial association at a meeting held
recently at Harrisburg. Many of the
editors in attendance have for long
years been preaching protective tariff
and its righteousness AS long as the
tariff put up the price of the farmers
plow and the mechanics plane the Re-
publican editor thought it all right, but
since the gentlemen in the protected
industries have grown so greedy and
so reckless as to begin picking the
pockets of their best friends, the
editors themselves, the brethren begin
to squeal and loudly demand that the
government cease giving aid and COM
fort to that particular class of pick
pockets who steel from editors under
the sanction of law and in the name
of protection. Not word of protest
comes from the Republican editor as
long as the protection robber takes
from the farmer and the mechanic, but
when the tariff baron reaches for the
profits of the editor his action is de-
nounced as grievous injustice. They
declare that such stealing is putting
a tax on knowledge, literature, intel
ligence and so on. and cannot be toll
Grated. II tariff could tax out of
existence all such foolish and mis-
chievous knowledge and literature as
is sent out by tariff organs, it might
for once in the worlds history be said
to have done good and not harm. One
Of the resolutions passed unanimously
by the Editorial association is that mo
trust should be fostered by legislation,
such as tariff duties; IN other words,
IL trusts are honestly organized to re-
duce expenses and consequently the
price of products, they should depend
on their own business sagacity, and
not upon protection given to them by
the government" In all reason why
should not this principle apply to the
individual or the corporation as well
as to the trust? II man under a
government that grants no special
privileges fails to make money in a
business venture. 1t is evidence con-
elusive that he either has gone into a
wrong business or lacks business abil-
ity, and in either case why should his
neighbors be taxed for his benefit?
Taxation for the purpose of paying the
legitimate expenses of government is
right, but taxing some citizens in Or
der to give the money to others is
an outrage. Gradually, but far too
slowly, the people are awakening to the
criminal folly of taxation under the
false pretenses of protection.
