AS HAS long been expected, the
protectionists have at last cooked the
goose that laid golden eggs for them,
or probably have done SO, as not only
Russia but other foreign countries that
import large quantities Of American
products are now threatening the inn
position of heavy duties upon all such
products that are sold abroad cheaper
than at home. Why they have not re-
sorted to retaliatory tariff before this,
has long been puzzle to American
free traders; but, In this as in every
other case, all things come to those
who wait. Europe must have Ameri-
can cotton, grain and meat, which are
produced 10 the South and Wes., but
she csn do very we'll without the iron,
steel and manufactured goods that are
made in the North.

THE D. A R


The tenth continental congress OF tn
National Society of the Daughters G
the American Revolution camo to
Gloss at late hour Saturday night II
Washington, having been in ssssiol
since Monday morning last.
Much bitterness grew out Of the con
test for president general, and this feel
ing Yves carried into the consideration
OF other matters before the body to sucl
an extent that few quts ions were dis
cussed without outcroppings Of the feut
between the factions.
Mrs. r. 8. Hatcher, of Indiana, wa
elected correspon ling secretary gene
raj, and Miss s. r. Hetzel, OF Virgins
historian general and Mrs. Green Clay
Goodloe, OF the District OF Columbis
Miss Hetzel's assistant. 1t was agreed
the board Of national Officers should fill
the vacancy OF the roll OF vice-presl-
dents.
Miss Desha's amendment to the con.
stitution requesting that the national
board OF management be an administra-
tive body TO carry out the ordering OF
the congress and submit all It's rules
and regulations to the congress for ap-
provsl, that, 10 case of an appeal from
their action, the recording secretary
general should bring up the matter be-
fore the next continental congress for
action, was called up. 1t gave rise to
an exciting episode. Mrs. Draper
moved its adoption. Mrs. Manning
disapproved OF the amendment, as ii
referred to past action and remarked:
"This appeal is not to be considered
and the action OF the board shall not be
questioned. The congress has always
unanimously approved the actions of
the board"
Miss Desha rose at once from her
seat in one OF the right hand boxes,
THE congress never knows Of the
action of the board" she exclaimed,
and, facing Mrs. Manning, declared;
dramatically: you do not dare to let
this congress know OF certain actions OF
the national board"
You are not 10 speak TO me in that
manner" replied Mrs. Manning, indig-
nantly.
II shall speak as | please" retorted |
Miss Desha when you behave as you
are doing, and l would have you re.
mem er that am not Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, and shall stay in the box"
The amendment was finally adopted |
BY large msjority.
Meanwhile, another incident occur.

and indignation. Ia box, in which

The presiding officer and the ladies
% the platform looked shocked ard
isconcerted. The gentleman hastily
from the theater, and the
sdies occupying the box also retired.
The unfortunate gentleman referred
was Judge Leo Knott, of Baltimore.

A 275 head of horses and mules ar
rived for the regular sale of Warman. Black.
Chamberlain & Co., or nearly three times as
many as a week ago. and the receipts were
larger than the average recently. A good class
of horses was represented. and blocks and
heavy grades predominated. The attendance of
buyers was larger than is common on Tues
day, and quite a number were here that don't
usually arrive before Wednesday. Both do
nestle and foreign markets were well repre-
sented. and especially the Eastern trade. The
auction began earlier than usual. and the first
offerings sold at fully steady prices compared
with a week ago. Early sales were principally
blocks, and prices ranged from SIS to SIPS. Ship
pers are still complaining about the high prices
prevailing in the country. In the afternoon a
lot Of extra good chunks and heavy horses
were offered. and they met with a reasonably
active demand at very fair prices, but on ac-
count Of the narrow margin over country cos.
sales were not altogether satisfactory to ship
pers. Draft horses weighing 1,e00Ql, 800 lbs sold
from sli5 to 1920, and quite a number Of lighter
averages brought s110 to s14o.
