Babcock's Tariff Amendment.

While the Ways and Means Committee will certainly not report the Babcock bill repeating most of the duties imposed under the metal schedule in the Dingley tariff act, the introduction of the bill has called attention to the failure of the pres ent Congress to take any action on the trust question. Whether the Babcocl1 proposition is or Is not sincere Is not a matter now under consideration. That it would be effective In preventing the or ganization of giant industrial combina- tions, such as that now in process of formation in which the Carnegie compa- ny and the other great steel companies are involved in doubtful question: Rep resentative Babcock has succeeded, how ever, in stirring his partisans up and in being severely criticised for making trouble when there can be no possible advantage.
 The fact that the Republicans, follow ing the advice given in the Presidents message at the opening of the first ses- sion of this Congress. passed through the House an exceedingly stringent anti trust bill and then let 1t rest in the Sen ate Judiciary Committee without much as attempting to take it up has an in dication of insincerety that promises to come back to injure the Republicans in the campaign to come The Democrats are not unaware of the ammunition thus provided for them and they would be decidedly disappointed if 7he Senate should before adjournment take the bill from the committee and pass it, but there is no reason for Democratic anxiety on that score.

SPANKING.
From Tho New York World.

From Tho New York World.
 The ethics of spanking gave the New York City Mothers Club an unpleasant quarter of an hour yesterday afternoon at the Berkeley Lyceum. Child study was under discussion, and the universal infantile tendency to sin came up for grave consideration. Many were the remedies considered. The effect of moral suasion on the budding intelligence of a two-year-old was treated of at length, when Mrs. John F. Trow said decidedly:
 Well, I firmly believe in the rod for the small child"
 The mothers sat like accusing statues.
 Up to the age of 4 years" continued Mrs. Trow, nothing else appeals to the child. Either the rod or it's substitute, the efficacious slipper. For my part I prefer the slipper. That was what used with my two boys. I found 1t entirely satisfactory"
 After the age of 4, the speaker advo- cated methods of reason. making a few fixed laws and keeping to them, telling the truth to the child and exacting truth fitness in return, and winning the child's s confidence.

WATERmELoNs IN NEW YORK
From a New York Letter.

From a NeW YOrk Letter.
 With strawberries at s1.5o a basket and watermelons at $5 apiece, to say nothing of soft shell crabs at s3 a dozen, no man need go hungry these days. The mar kets contain some delicacies which are well nigh worth their weight in gold, and yet they are eagerly sought after by buyers for rich families. For instance, hothouse asparagus is s2 a bunch, six stalks to the bunch, and spring lamb sl a pound. The soft shell crabs referred to are as large as a silver half dollar. North Carolina shad are going like hot cakes at S2 each.

It is the most complete press in the south, and has no superior as a newspaper press. It will print four coors at time, besides black.

Grosvenor quickly changed the announcement so as to make the votes cast for Stevenson for Vice Presi- dent instead of for Roosevelt, but every time he arose to announce some other states vote some few persons would ap- plaud and try to embarrass him. Of course with the electoral vote standing 292 for Mckinley to 155 for Bryan there was no chance for any uncertainty and the canvass was simply formal, but twenty-four years ago the situation was entirely different and the declaration of the election of a President and Vice President would seem to be an occasion for dignity and self-restraint.
