Trouble - the Republican Ranks
over the Tariff Grows More
Threatening.

In the movement Of certain high
protectionist leaders in congress to
bring about reorganization OF the
house ways and means committee
which will eliminate Representative
Babcock from that committee there
is proof of the exceeding improba bill.
ity Of honest tariff revision under
Hanna control. says the st. Louis Re-
public.
This movement against Babcock, in
retaliation for his aggressive efforts
in behalf Of a general revision of the
existing tariff, will have effects
reaching beyond the representative
thus to be punished. Notice is there
by served on all republicans who dare
TO oppose the sacred" principles OF
high protection that they will DO
summarily dealt with. They cannot
hope for the distinction of place Oh
the more important congressional
committees. They will be degraded
and belittled4n every way possible to
the dominant protectionists. The
wires will be laid for their defeat
in the next congressional elections il
this is within the power of the trusts
and the trust instruments.
There is an element of strength be.
hind these tariff revision republicans.
however, which the protectionists are
failing to take into account. The rank
and file of republican voters have had
their eyes opened to the bunko ma
ture of high protective tariff. Men
like Babcock are not leading the sem
timent of their constituencies when
they fight for tariff reduction. They
are following that sentiment. Re-
publicans of the middle west espe-
cially demand revision of the tariff.
The developments of the approach
ing session of congress will amply
prove the truth Of this assertion.
There should be some significant
news from Washington during the
progress of this session.
Also, there should be much excel.
lent campaign material manufactured
for the profit of the movement in ia
vor of tariff revision. The protec-
ZIONIST tools of the trusts in the pres
ent congress may succeed in prevent
ing tariff reduction by throwing down
the gage Of battle to the revisionists
and using the power of the trusts to
disarm or utterly crush them, but
this prevention will be temporary in
deed. The congressional elections Of
1902 are destined to be disastrous TO
the syndicates and to syndicate
henchmen in the national congress.
Tariff revision, coupled with the
trust issue proper, is an exceedingly
vital issue. American sentiment de-
mands the reduction of the tariff and
the restriction of the trusts under
competent governmental supervision.

THERE ARE VARIOUS THEORIES
a Full Treasury and the Probability
of n Reduction Of Tax
alton.

When congress assemblies next
month it will be confronted with a
condition and with several theories
The condition is an annual surplus
of s13O.O00.o coo. The theories relate
to its prevention or disposal, says the
New York World.

are important elections in nearly ali
the states next year and the wise
and prudent leaders of the party in
power do not look with favor upon
new carnival of extravaganza.
These men, with the president at
their head, are likely to recommend
= further reduction Of the war taxes.
But what are the war taxes?
When the war for the union be-
gan, 40 years ago, the average tariff
was about IS per cent. Under the
stress for revenue, and to counterbal.
ance internal taxes on manufactures
the average duty was raised to so or
80 per cent. At the end Of the war
internal taxes. mainly upon wealth
and yielding S300,0o0,o00 year, were
one after the other repealed. But
now, though our ''infant industries"
are 40 years older. the tariff taxes
are still up to the highest point OF
war taxation.
When the war with Spain made
more revenue necessaryinternal taxes
were again voted. Last year. when
the surplus became troublesome, a
part Of these taxes was repealed.
And now 10 is proposed by the repub-
lican leaders still further to reduce
the taxes on whisky. beer and To-
bacco-vices or indulgcnces which all
civilized governments make the ba-
sis OF their revenue-and to leave un-
touched the worse than war taxes on
the necessaries of the people. their
food, fuel, clothing and shelter;
taxes, too, which promote monopo-
lies and permit their benefciaries to
sell cheaper in foreign markets than
to home consumers.
This would be better than to con-
tinuc taxation for n surplus or for
extravaganza. But is IL just? Is IL
statesmanlike? Is il safe in n conn

ROOSEVELT CHILDREN BUSY.
Kermit and Ethel Enjoy Their New Home at the White House.
 Have Much to See.

The Roosevelt children, Kermit and Ethel, are thoroughly enjoying their new home at the white house. The first morning after their arrival they were out of bed long time before the family was ready for breakfast, and immediately began an inspection of their new home, visiting all the apartments and admiring the view from the windows, which overlook the white lot and the site of the Washington monument. After break fast they went out with Pinckney, MT. Roosevelt's colored man servant, and under his supervision purchased two bicycles at store on Fourteenth street. They rode the bicycles back to the white house and showed them to their father and mother. In the afternoon they took long ride on their wheels, going down Pennsyl- yania avenue, over into the Smith sonian grounds and through the ex- tensive mall between the national museum and the capitol. Pinckney rode with them on his own bicycle to take care of them.

 The monetary situation. Henry Clews says, shows improvement i'll some respects "Crop demands have about reached the maximum, and with in three or four weeks the return movement of currency should begin, though one or two unfayorable bank statements in the interim should cause no surprise. Money rates are relative ly easy and loanable funds seem ample for present requirements, three months of liquidation in the stock market hav ing contributed materially towards averting stringency during the crop moving period. It is we'll to bear in mind, however, that little relief can be obtained from gold imports in event of rates working upwards here. The financial crisis in Germany is by no means over and the strain in monetary circles over there is still intense. Ger many is just now passing drought period of retribution for the reckless speculation in industria1s and the iE- numerable instances of rotten financ- ing which have brought lot of Ger man promoters under the ban of the law and cast blot upon German in- tegrity that will require some time to efface."

NOSE INDICATES CHARACTER.
Do Not Complain If You Have Big one, for That's the Very
 Best Kind.

A large nose is always an unfailing sign of decided character, writes Blanche w. Fischer, in an article on Reading Character from the Face" in Ladies' Home Journal. ssIt belongs to the man of action, quick to see and to seize opportunity. A small nose indicates a passive nature, one less apt to act, although he may feel as deeply. He will have many theories, while the possessor of a large nose will have deeds to show. Persons with small noses are most loving and sympat thizing, but their friendship is not the active kind.
 A nose with the tip slightly tilted is the sign of the heartless firt. A long nose shows dignity and repose. A short nose, pugnacity and a love of gayety. An arched nose-one pro jecting at the bridge-shows thought. A straight nose shows an inclination toward serious subjects. nose that turns up slightly indicates eloquence, wit and imagination. If turned up much it shows egotism and love of luxury. A nose that slopes out direct ly from the forehead, that shows no indenting between the eyes, indicates power. If the nose is indented deep ly at the root the subject will be weak and vacillating. nose that turns down signifies that the possessor IS 1aiserly and sarcastic.

LABORERS IN GERMANY.
Consul General Hhghes Sends Report That Many Are Unable to Secure
 Employment.

There is a continuous scarcity of work, in Germany, Consul General Hughes has sent reports to the state department showing that in the min ing districts and in the centers of the iron working and machine mak- ing regions short hours, dismissal of hands, and cutting down of wages are general. In the month of July 1900, when the depression of business in general was felt for the first time on the labor market, the decrease of employed laborers amounted to only three per cent, while in July of this year their already much reduced number has decreased by further five per cent.
 There is marked increase in the number of men applying for work at the public labor offices. In July. 1900, for every 100 open places 1922 applicants were counted; this year their number has run up to 1909.
 The labor offices report an in- creased rush for places, particularly by metal workers and those em- ployed in the building trades. The latter may hope for an improvement, at least in some places, at the begin ming of the autumnal building sea- son, but for the iron workers the outlook is gloomy indeed.

Whenever a city, or an important fraction of it's people, gets a whim it runs up to Hartford to induce the leg islature to incorporate the Whim into the charter. The business of city charter tinkering is carried to a 1icen- tious excess in Connecticut, but the fault isn't with the legislature so much as with the cities themselves. When a city asks favor the legislature gen. orally strives to please. At every ses- sion of the general assembly about every city in the state urges a batch of changes in it's charter.-Hartford Post.
 Yes, and sometimes it is the unin- portant part of city that asks ior and receives the favor. Take Water bury, for instance. Whenever the re- publicans want anything here they go to the legislature, and the republicans of that body see that they are accom- modated. The republicans are an un- important part so far as having ma jority of the votes is concerned, but when it comes to getting the offices within the gifts of that body they are the important part. Every office with in the gift of the legislature is held by q republican, and it has fixed a few others so that the democrats cannot get a look at them. Oh, yes, the legisla- ture has been very willing to please the Waterbury republican politicians in the way of charter tinkering, and against the wishes of the majority. Look at the manner i'll which the leg islature has divided us into wards, three of them republican and two dem- ocratic, thus insuring majority in the board of aldermen and the consequent election of republicans to the positions within the gift of that body. The leg islature has been very generous, in deed, to the republicans.

Indictment of London.

London is possibly the most incon- venient and most untidy city of Flu. rope. The streets are either muddy, slushy or dusty; they are Uttered with straw, cabbage-leayes, newspaper pos ters and omnibus tickets; they are constantly being grubbed up for some reason or other; barrels of beer, coals and other goods are delivered across the footways at all hours of the day. So long as London is governed by, or ratheris dependent for it's due regula- tion upon, number of bodies all inde- pendent of each other, so long vii: nuisances of various kinds continue. We make no suggestion as to who should be the governing body, but that there should be one is certain. London Lancet.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1901.

Captain Evan P. Howell, father ot Clark Howell, proprietor of the Allan ta Constitution, called at the White House last week. After leaving he said that the president had promised to be very careful about his appoint ments in the south and in every 1fi- stance where he was unable to find republican fit for any office that might have to be filled, to select the best democrat, and that is all anybody can ask of the president and nobody that knows him doubts his intention" add ed Mir Howell. If the republican leaders will treat the negro ill the south just as they treat him in the north-that is, let him alone-and will preach protection instead of negro equality, they will build up a strong and respectable party" was another or Mir Howell's statements.
