Is Senator Depew seeking a big favor
from the President? If not. why is it
that he is trotting around the country
telling newspaper men and the politicians
that President Mckinley ought 10 be
given another term because he has no
enemies and very few critics? Probably
he thinks that he would be made Secre-
tary of State or sent as ambassador to
England if Mr.. Mckinley should be re-
nominated and reelected.
In support of a renominat ton for the
President he brings up all of the old worn
out arguments which were advanced by
the admirers of Gen. Grant, when Sem
ator Conkling undertook to get third
term for him. He says there is nothing
in the written or the unwritten consti-
tuition against a third term, 1t is true
there Is nothing in the constitution
against third term, but there is some
thing more potent than the constitution
against it, namely, the common sense of
the people. They long ago came to the
conclusion that two terms were sufficient
for any man, and that third term
might jeopardize the liberties of the peo-
pie
OF course, nobody thinks Mr.. Mckinley
would seek to make himself a dictator if
a third term were given to him, but if ne
were given a third term some other Pres
ident might want fourth term, or even
life term.
1t is true that Washington did not say
to the people that they should never give
any man more than two terms, but mis-
example was sufficient: and the people are
pretty much of the mind that eight years
is long enough for any man to occupy the
presidency 1t would be a great thing
for Mr., Mckinley to have third term
something no other man ever had-end 1t
would not be surprising if he has an am
bition to be reelected, but he would be
remembered much longer by grateful
country if being offered a third nominal
ton he should refuse it.
It is doubtful if. there is anything upon
which there is such a consensus of opin-
ion In this country as that no President
should have a third term. Mr.. McKin-
ley is a very popular President. but if
he should second the efforts of those who
are trying to bring about his renomine-
tion, he would find his popularity waning,
Many of those who are praising him now
would become his enemies and abuse him.
1t is doubtful If he is so foolish as to en-
terrain the hope of being the presiden-
tial candidate of his party in 1901 And
the surprising thing is that Mr. Depew
should be advocating third. term for him.
He has been for a long time. and is yet.
a favorite with the public but if he makes
himself the leading advocate of a third
term for Mr.. Mckinley, the impression
will get abroad that he is no longer the
bright, capable man he once was-that he
is degenerating into mere retailer of
chestnutty stories.

A seasonabIe Lay.

]. ]. Montague in Portland Oregonian.
II is upward and ever onward
That the path to happiness goes;
Though dim in the shrouding darkness
The beckoning beacon glows;
There is rest from the heat of battle
Where the. breeze of success blows cool;
For so says the maid who is sweetly ar
rayed
In fair fetching gown of soft tulle.
There is always the hand of friendship
To grasp when the way is steep,
But we still must be toiling forward,
While our aggard comrades sleep;
We must found cur castles firmly
On the stanch. unyielding rock;
We are told by the girl with the graceful
curl
And the dotted Swiss muslin frock.
There's. a goal in the misty future
That we ali are striving for;
We must still sail on though the breakers
Beat loud on the rock-bound shore;
BY the compass of high ambition
We must steer when the stars are gone:
We can learn ali this from the dainty
miss
Who looks charming in Persian lawn.
We have gathered the rose Of knowl-
edge
IT'S a bud with it's petals furled-
But under our care twill open
And make fragrant all the world.
We must store awey our blessings,
As honey Is stored by the bee,
or they'll all take wing. says the sweet
young thing
In the hlmy white organde.
IT'S beautiful thing, is knowledge,
For Il opens the rose-strcwu way.
To the rostrum that's bright with bunting
on the glad commencement day.
But beside LIS Joyous beauty

TARIFF REVISION CALLED ron.

The reports of the meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers, held
in Detroit this week, indicate that the
manufacturers OF the country, at least
a very large per cent. of them. want the
tariff greatly reduced. In fact many of
them would be better pleased if trade
were made free.
One of them, Mr.. Wilmington of Mich
igan, in the course of an interesting
speech, said that in his opinion tariff leg
islation was influenced a great deal more
by political considerations than by eco
nomlcal considerations. He declared that
tariff laws were passed ito carry out
party pledges rather than to meet bust
ness necessities"
A great many manufacturers said that
there was a much higher tariff on most
articles than there was any need for.
There was need, they said of protection
in but few cases. because American skill
and energy were now sufficient to enable
American manufacturers to compete with
those of any other country in the mar
kets of the world. Tariff, it was de-
clared, rather hindered than promoted
trade, because it created ill-feeling abroad
and caused tariffs hostile to American in
terests to be adoDted,
Inc shoe manufacturers said that the
duty on hides hampered the shoe trade.
If it were not for that the exports of
American shoes would be much larger
than they are; in fact the American
manufacturers of shoes would control the
shoe market of the world. The duty on
hides was put op, said the shoe manu-
facturers, at the request of four meat
packers of Chicago. and these packers
take about 100000 a year out of the
pockets of the people because OF the tar
III on hides.
The manufacturers pointed out many
! other respects in which the tariff works
10 the detriment of American trade, and
they insisted that steps should be taken
at once for the revision of the tariff laws.
Evidently the manufacturers have had
a change of mind on the tariff question.

The people of Florida are not oyerbur-
dened by state taxation The rate for
the present year will be 2i5 mills. although
the law permits rate of mills.
1t is doubtful if there Is any other state
in the Union which has so low tax rate
except New Jersey. In that state the
trusts have filled the treasury, and the
people contribute very little towards the
support of the state government.
When it is taken into account that it
has been only six years since Florida's
orange groves were Acknowledgements
which were easily worth $l5,OOO,O0O-it must
be admitted that the states officials and
law makers have managed wisely and
economically.
And, as far as we are informed, the
public institutions are not dealt with in
a niggardly manner The officials are paid
fairly good salaries and the schools are
literally dealt with. Confederate veter-
ans and the widows of veterans are given
as generous pensions as are paid by any
other state.
Why is it, then, that the tax rate is so
low notwithstanding the heavy losses the
state has suffered in recent years-losses
which must have cut down assessment
values very greatly? The only reason We
know of is that there has been economy
in the administration in the states af-
fairs. The Legislature meets only once
in two years. Unlike the politicians in
this state the Florida politicians do MOI
use the meetings of the Legislature as a
means of getting together and planning
campaigns for the offices, ..-
Then pensions are given only to those
whom the law intends shall have them.
Two-thirds of the counties do not draw
from the state treasury more money FOR
schools and pensions than they pay into
it. as is the case in this state. 1t is true.
the state has little or no debt, but that
also indicates that the states affairs have
been under able and conscientious man
agement In her public affairs Florida is
an example to many states which make
much greater pretensions.

The labor trouble in the cash register
factory az Dayton, O., has abruptly de-

taken for the comfort and convenience
of the employees. highest wages we're
paid and every effort was made to link
the prosperity of the works with the
wages OF the help. Now the shops have,
been closed and work suspended indefinite

trouble began, according to the Philadel-
phia Press, in a demand that the towels
supplied in the shops should be washed

pute cvet wages in the foundry. where
some Of the men had been earning s. to

on the rule that no employe should earn
more than $3.50 a day. Next there was
difference with respect 10 the employ

offered to submit to arbitration; where

II Staggered Them.

There was one division of one OF. the
largest department stores along Sixth
avenue that suspended business for half
an hour one day last week. says the New
York Telegram. A woman bought some
handkerchiefs and a pair of towels. The
clerk footed her bill, 40 cents, and the
woman laid paper bill on the counter.
The clerk, a girl, looked at it hastily.
1t read $1,000 She had never seen a
thousand dollar bill before in her life
and the Amusement it caused made her
speechless. With her mouth open in
wonder she made out the check, showing
that 40 cents was to be taken out of ST.
eco. The girl who acts as cashier fell
back in her chair when she, saw the bill
She didn't have change for it, and after
gazing at it in wondering admiration for
d moment she rushed out to find the man.
ager. He asked for the customer who
had offered it and the girl led the way
to where the woman was waiting. The
clerk had recovered from her surprise
enough to point out the. customer.
The manager said; Madam, what did
you buy?"
The woman named over the small ar
ticles.

Precipitation stood. out on the woman's
face as she looked in wonder at the bill.
She fshed dollar out of a handbag she
carried and paid. By that times she had
figured out an explanation. She has a
son attending a business college, where
they have mock transactions in business,
and paper to look as much like money
as the counterfeiing laws OF the country
will permit are used, The clerks had
been so stunned by the big figures that
they did, rot see that it was not money
at all. but a fake bill.

about him there was a gasp of consterna-
