tions IN that country are never more than
temporarily quiescent. The revolutionary
material available for an uprising Is ex-
ceptionally abundant Castro has man
aged to hold the malcontents down strongly
for some months, and has SO concentrated
power In his own Hands that he Is doubt
less more secure In his position than the
average of his predecessors OF recent
years. But 1t Is not to be thought. In
view Of all the traditions OF Venezuelan
unrest. that he can continue much longer
without serious assault upon his power.
particularly IL reports from Venezuela OF
late regarding his harshness Of admins
tration are in any degree true.
The Colombian revolt has not as yet de-
veloped sufficient definteness to warrant
an estimate of it's probable result. Tribe
is well known as chronic revolutionist
and has a considerable prestige In his own
country. The action of the Colombian au-
thorities In trespassing upon a German

only a civilian aid to Tribe. suggests that
there Is serious apprehension at Bogota to
justify the taking Of chances in this fash
lon. There is an intimation that the rela-
tions OF Colombia and Venezuela are
strained and that there may be some con-
nection between these two revolutionary
enterprises, one In each country, and the
mutual Jealousy OF the governments.

season of unrest has opened In South
America. Venezuela has been stirred by
a new revolution and Colombia is in the
same predicament, the latter being also
worried by a possible complication with
Germany about the Murillo incident. The
Venezuelan revolution is at present but
small affair, probably not of sufficient size
In itself to give President Castro serious
concern. The insurrectionary force of
5000 Is absurdly small In comparison with
the resources OF the government at Cara
cas-, while the leader Is not a man OF re-
nown or even of military experience I'm
less 1t Is designedly 30 organized to cover

They compare most favorabiy with those
democratic leaders IN the east who turned
away from their party when 1t cham
pioned politics which their judgment con-
demned.
But of course the south will not fur
nish the democracy with its candidate in
1904. She does not lack the material, but
she has effaced herself from the calcuia-
tion. She seems to be content with the
role she long has filled. She viii go to
the next national convention, as she has
gone to others. asking nothing for herself.
The voices of New York and Indiana win
count for far more than hers In the selec-
tion Of the standard-bearer. 1t win be
assumed that she viii support anybody
whose strength In the debatable states Is
guaranteed. And so the candidate will be
named. and the south will return home to
put her elections machinery in order for
the fray. 1t Is a small role for large
section to play In party affairs, and IT is
in painful contrast with the role the south
once played. But time and Tammany Hail
have demoralized the south In national
matters and she will be slow to awaken to
her former dignity and power.

Mr.. BabcOck's Tariff Letter.

Representative BabcockS s letter on the
subject of tariff revision. which appears
in print today. Is altogether worthy OF
perusaI and is likely to command atten-
ton 1t may be more properly described as
retracting than explaining the tariff bin he
introduced in Congress last winter. he
admits now that the measure was crudely
drawn. but he adds very perttnently and
forcibly that 1t is for the ways and means
committee of the House to put all such
measures into the proper shape. and he in
yites such action on the part OF that COM
mittee of the next House on the question
as he will present It then. This Is fair no
tice. and the member from Wisconsin may
rest assured that he will have support In
his effort to correct some existing tariff
abuses.
Mr. Babcock's present statement OF the
policy of protection is sound That policy
was adopted for the purpose Of making the
United States a manufacturing nation and
independent, within the sphere OF Its en-
deavors, of other nations. That purpose In
a liberal measure has been accomplished
There are industries which have so pros
pered that they are not only supplying the
home market but are selling their surplus
abroad at a lower rate than their foreign
rivals, can afford. Why then should such
industries longer enjoy the benefit of pro-
lection? Why vote support to giants so
very well able to take care of themselves?
Clearly, protection has done Its work so far
as they concerned.
AS for such industries. new or old. as
may still need helping hand. such help
should still be held out to them. They are
still within the fostering design OF the
American policy. and legitimate objects OF
public encouragement. The hope is that
they too may come in time to proportions
of giant strength and Independence; and
what reason will there be for protecting
any longer their outputs against the
foreign competition which they have mas
tered In the markets Of the world?
Mr.. Babcock points out that our tariff
schedules have been affected by the phe-
nomenal increase in our productions and
sales within the past few years. The Ding
ley law aided in putting us on our feet
again. and since then have made such
progress now Justifies a recast of some
of the provisions of that meas sure. And
why should they not be made by the party
which drafted the measure, and still stands
without qualification for the principle upon
which 1t rests? What alarm could the
der limited revision at the hands Of those
who the bulwarks of the protection
policy?

KING AND ACTRESS.
Edward Had a jolly Interview with
Ills Old Friend Reisne.

King Edward of Britain perceived
Actress Rejane the other day near the
springs in the crowds that gather every
morning to see him swallow his pre-
scribed glass in the small, deliberate
gulps of an old habitue.
The Persian actresses had been on
such friendly terms with the former
Prince of Wales that she could not re-
stain slight bow when her eye met
his. But he never moved a muscle,
staring blankly over the edge of his
glass.
That same afternoon the Duke of
Cambridge sought out Nine. Rejane
and escorted her to the kings parlor,
where half a dozen intimates were
gathered. On her entering the room
the king arose with glad smile and
easy courtesy, extended his hand and
made the actress sit beside him, talking
French with her for nearly an hour.
When Nine. Rejane rose to depart
the king said: 81 am glad you called.
This chat about old times has done
me good. l must beg you to accept
my apologies for not answering your
friendly nod this morning. Things
have changed, you know, since last
we met. You understand"
"Qui SIRE" answered Nine. Rejane.
and forgive me?" queried the king
There is but humble gratitude and
devotion in my heart for
your majesty" answered Nine. Re.
jane.

don't know when shall see you again.
You won't see so much of me hereafter
in Paris as you used to but whenever
you come to London myself and her
majesty, the queen, will be pleased to
see you"
Then a slightly comic note was in
troduced into the interview by the
king naively, even impulsiyely asking
DO you find me changed or aged ?"
No, your majesty" replied she.

That same evening the Duke OF
Cambridge, another old friend, took

saying: His majesty says it has nc
great value, but, though simple. Il
seemed pretty and he hopes you will
