The Autumn Homecoming.

The tide of travel sets strongly toward the
city and the summer hosts are home-co
ing. Through the city gates, otherwise the
stations and the wharves the city's go
aways are returning. In the crowds are
red-necked men and freckled maids, old
men and old women who are hale and
brown. The ruddy glow of the children
tells of the deep touches of the summer
sun. Air and rest and change of scene
have well done their Office and these home
comers seem strong in body and fresh in
brain. They are breaking the summer
calm that has rested on the city for three
moons and everything Is waking up.
Perhaps never before have so many
Washingtonians spent the summer out of
town. This is not because Washington has
grown to be less desirable as place Of
summer residence or because the country
has become pleasanter. but because Wash
ingtonians have gained in prosperity and In
philosophy. More of them have grown able
to go away for rest and change and more
have learned that this is good thing to
do. The citizens have gained in prosper rity
because of general and local conditions.
The country has been prosperous because
Nature has been kind and the government
good The prosperity of the north, of the
south of the east, Of the west has press
ed upon the national capital from all these
compass points. AS the United States
grows great so, too, must it's capital.
Many years ago there were men who by
their neighbors were thought wise who
said that Washington had attained It's
greatest growth and that the city had no
future. All these and other dark prophe-
sies have come to naught.
But Washingtonians have gained not only

The Ideal Labor Leader.

The lot of the man who Is led by circum-
stances or his own ambition to assume the
leadership of labor at a critical moment is
never likely to be enviable He must have
answering and almost unquestioning obe-
dience among men who have become alb
normally suspicious Of power in any form
He must to large degree make sentiment
take the place Of discipline and is often
compelled to confront the potent though
silent logic of an empty cupboard. He
must decide momentous questions quickly;
he must comprehend motives and possibili-
ties with a swiftness and accuracy which
would fit him for the highest responsible
ties Of commerce or diplomacy. The really
great labor leader would be paragon, and
Mr.. Shaffers critics ought not to be too
relentless In discussing any shortcomings
they may discern.

Manufacturers and the Tariff.

The executive committee of the National
Association of Manufacturers at session
in Philadelphia yesterday adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved for purposes of clear compre-
hensfon and expression of public senti-
ment respecting the reciprocal and trade
rela tons with foreign powers,
THAT this committee deems it expedient
that there be held under the auspices OF
the National Association of Manufacturers
a national conference on reciprocity
This conference should be called for as
early a day as possible. and certainly be-
fore the meeting of Congress. The Senate
will take up the reciprocity treaties now
on it's table, and the subject will be brought
to the attention of the House. Indeed, this
may be done by the President himself. So
important is the question, and so wide
spread the interest in it. he may give 1t a
prominent place in his annual message.
At any rate, it is a question American
manufacturers vitality interested In;
and even should the conference fail to
produce definite expression from them 1t
will serve the valuable purpose of develop
ing opinion in a quarter where opinion
counts.
We continue to hear two things pro-
claimed with marked emphasis. The first
is that reciprocity is antagonistic to pro-
lection, and if extended will break down
protection; and the second is that Congress
at the coming session will do nothing at all
toward revising any of the schedules Of
the tariff. AS to the first proposition it is
only necessary to reply that what James
G. Blaine, Nelson Dingley and William Nc
Kinley approved while in Congress cannot
very well be rejected by the republicans
in dealing with the tariff. All three Of
them accepted reciprocity, not as the
enemy, but as the complement Of protec-
tion, and Mckinley and Dingley each in
corporated a reciprocity provision in the
tariff bill of which he supervised the con-
struction. Who speaks with higher au-
thority on the question of protection, or
with a better record of devotion to that
cause. than these three men?
AS to revising the tariff, those who
would have nothing done at all endeavor
to convey the idea that If revision is at
tempted 1T must be thorough. and run
from A to u. Beware, they say, Of un-
settling values and confidence at time
when both are high and so profitable
Don't fill the corridors of the Capitol with
a pushing. scheming crowd of manufac-
turers and their representatives in a sea-
son of plenty and business. AS a matter
of fact. no friend of protection is proposing
anything of the kind. Nothing of the kind
Is necessary. AS much as is proposed re-
lates only to fayors now enjoyed by over
grown industries, and which are being
abused by them. These matters could be
taken up and adjusted without disturbing
in the slightest the great majority of the
tariff schedules. which, as they now stand,
Justify themselves and benefit the country
Let us hear from the manufacturers by
all means Theirs is not the only knowl-
edge of the subject: but 1t Is very valuable
knowledge. and Congress and the country
at large will benefit by an expression of
It at this time

There has been no formal announcement
of Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy for the
presidency, and none is expected. None
seems to be necessary. The people have
put one thing and another together and
assumed that he Is candidate for that
office; and in the light Of this fact Mr..
Roosevelt's statement in Chicago yesterday
in declining an invitation of the Marquette
Club Is worthy the attention Of his rivals.
His statistics. indeed, are formidable. Two
thousand invitations to speak since the 1st
of January. and thirty of them from the
city of Chicago alone, represent a pretty
healthy interest in his personality and well
fare. He has been able to accept only a
small fraction Of the number, but between
now and next national convention time he
will probably find 1t convenient to distrib-
ute himself Judiciously among his admirers
in every section of the country. Evidently
the people want to hear from him, and
evidently he intends to crafty them

is great danger on the stump in such cir

reputation cannot afford to talk around
public questions or to repeat himself He
must have something new to say, and
something to the point. There is peril too
in the very variety of the issues now en-
gaging attention. The brighter and franker
the man the more likely he will be here
and there to say something upon which
watchful rivals or political adversaries may
seize to his disadvantage.
But there are two things which may en-
courage the Vice President in the course he
is pursuing. II his eyes are on the White
House he Is not the sort of man to make
his goal by foxy expedients. He has never
employed them in the pursuit Of other OBJ
jects, and he should not attempt to make
ar exception in the case Of the presidency.
He must seek that as he has sought other
honors, displaying his colors, and standing
to his guns from first to last. And il Is
true that, with but one exception, no presi-

The Population of London.
From the National Review.

The population Of London. according to
the authoritative and careful calculations
Of Mr.. Welton published in the December
Q90Ol Issue Of the Royal Statistical So
ciety's Journal, amounted to only LOCO, 600
In 1901. This figure had doubled itself by
1S41 and in 1891 the total reached +, 40, 600
and by 1901 was probably $3.50 OOO The
area included, 1t should be said, is not
precisely that Of the census returns. so
that the figures, though based upon the
census returns, differ considerably from
them. But practically we may say that in
the lapse Of a century the inhabitants Of
London multiplied skiold This enormous
population, greater than that Of many Eu-
ropean states Of the second class, is com
pressed within space Of about 13O, 600

AS is we'll known, the independent
Order of Odd Fellows is a very strong
secret fraternal and benevolent organ
izatlon in this city and its immediate
suburbs.
In Wheeling, Martins Ferry, Bel
laire, Bridgeport and Benwood there
are not less than one thousand mem
bers OF the Order in good standing. and
the various organizations, without
exception. are sIrong and vigorous,
and of sound growth and under excel
lent management. Bellaire. Bridge
port ana Martins Ferry each have one
lodge, and there is likewise one each
IN Benwooo. in the Eighth ward of
h city, and in Triadelphia. while in
the upper portion of the city proper
there are four English and one German
lodges. There is one Encampment
each in Beliaire and Martins Ferry,
and in this city two English and one
German Encampments.
The subordinate lodges and the En-
campment make the two classes of the
order, but there is a side military de-
gree, corresponding to the Knights
Templars in Masonry, to which only
Encampment members, otherwise of
the royal purple degree, are eligible.
This side order is known as Patriarchs
Militant, and their uniform and ritual
and general work is very fine.
Some time ago an effort was made
among the Encampment members in
thls city TO form such an organi-
cation, but it fell through, and moth
ing more was done about it until a
short while ago, when some of the lead
ing members revived interest. and as
a result of a meeting held last Sunday
twelve members OF the Order, eligible
to the advanced degree. set down their
m Tomorrow another meeting
will be held, at which it is hoped to
largely increase the list, and there are
the most satisfactory indications that
the Patriarchs will soon become a AN
gible fact locally. The Patriarchs are
under the control of the sovereign
grand body Of the order. and in many
other cities. many of them much small
er than Wheeling, have become a most
attractive feature of the organization
and essentially aided in arousing and
maintaining interest in the general
welfare Of Odd Fellowism and in ad-
vancing all that it represents and
stands for. There is no reason to an
ticipate anything different here. and
a strong and influential body Of men
will undoubtedly enroll themselves. A
temporary organization has already
been formed, and it will probably be
made permanent tomorrow, on which
occasion the Bridgeport Lodge Is ex-
pected to be very much In evidence.
On Tuesday, the 26th inst, there will
be a fraternal call of the lodge men,
bers in this vicinity upon Excelsior
Lodge No. 40, of this city. and on April
18th there will be a like visit to Gle
ment Lodge, of Bridgeport. April 18th,
Franklin Lodge, of Wheeling, will be
visited. and May 18th, Bellaire Lodge,
of Bellaire.

IT IS THE WAY YoU USE II.


the MetnO0 employed W0fe
Makes Success or Failure.
One man, with pen, ink and
paper, can produce a landcape, an
other man with same pen and ink
may not be able to write his own
name legibly. 1t is all in knowing
how.
1t is equally true in the case OF
medicines. The same remedies we
have to-day have existed for thous-
ands of years, but if their existence
was known the knowledge of how
to use them was lacking.
They became valuable to the hui
man race only when experiment
and science showed the way to
use them to get results.
The grip is an old disease with a
new name; it is really catarrhal
in character and the usual symp-
toms are those of acute catarrh,
but the old time catarrh powders,
salves and sprays do not cure it,
neither does the application of an
tiseptics through an inhaler give
anything nor than relief for a
short time.
The ~antispetics are all right:
they will kill the germs of catarrh
and grip IL they are applied rightly,
but their local application to the
nose and throat avail little because
the germs are in the blood and
through the whole system.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
many of these same a~ntiseptics,
that are used in sprays and inhal-
ers, but instead of applying them
to the infiamed membranes of the
nose and throat, they are taken
into the stomach and thus reach
the blood, the real seat of the dis
ease and drive out the infectious
germs through the natural chan
nels of the bowels and kidneys.
In other words, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets reach the cause of the mis-
chief instead of merely local symp-
toms.
The remarkable success Of these
tablets in curing grip, catarrh and
throat and lung troubles is because
they drive the catarrhal poison
from the system and the nose and
throat become clear Of the excess
sive secretion Of mucus, which
causes the hawking. splitting and
gagging, because the secretion is
not supplied from healthy blood.
Two years ago, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets were unknown, but to-day

An Unwarrapted Assumption.

The temper of the disgruntled Re

their attempt to misconstrue language
in the Register as rejecting upon the
Judge of the Circuit Court of Ohio
county. No reflection was made either
directly or by implication. The Reg
lister shares with every member of the
bar the very highest opinion of Judge
Hervey's integrity. Some sour tenn
pered Republicans placed their own
peculiar construction upon the Ian
guage used, evidently because of their
chagrin over the publicity which was
given to their schemes. There was no
reflection intended either upon the
Court or any OF the attorneys in the
roco
