THx MODEM MENAGERrE

It Is gratifying to note the advance
which has been made in tile housing and
care Of animals in menageries during the
last twenty-five or thirty years. Most Of
us can remember when the average ami
NAL in wild beast showp was doomed
to lead miserable life Of confinement in
small cage; and sometimes the attend
ants knew how the animals should be fed
and cared for, and sometimes they did
not.
In most large city menageries this has
been changed. The Geological Park at
Washington is almost an ideal place for
such collection of animals. In the first
place. it is large. The park covers tract
of ground sufficiently diversified in char
acter to give each animal place suited to
its habits, with room for commodious
house or kennel and large yard. The
bears have their rocky caves; the buffalo
own q section of considerable hill; the
monkeys, parrots and other tropical ami
mails are housed in building big enough
to permit good ventilation; and the rae
coons have large, dead hollow tree with
many branches all to themselves. There
is large creek where the elephants can
be led down to baths and while the place
is near enough to the city to be easily
accessible it is not near enough to be the
daily resort of mere curiosity seekers.
The result of all this is that the collec-
tlon does not have to be constantly re-
cruited by fresh importations. The ami
mails haye longer lease of existence and
some of them even breed in captivity,
thing almost unknown in the old mena-
gerie days. The improved condition of
things is good economic measure as well
as benefit to the animals themselves.

No Noxious Doses. No Weakening Of the
Nerves. A Pleasant and Positive Cure
for the Liquer Habit
1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filed with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by per
iodical or constant use of intoxicating

of time from business by this wonderful
'sHOME GOLD CURE which has been
perfected after many years of close study
and treatment of inebriates. The faith
full use according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively guaran-
teed to cure the most obstinate case, no
matter how hard drinker. Our records
show the marvellous transformation of
thousands of Drunkards into sober, in
dustrious and upright men.

This remedy is in no sense nostrum but
is specific for this disease only, and is
80 skillfully devised and prepared that it
is thoroughly soluble and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in a cup OF

the person taking it. Thousands of
Drrinkards have cured themselves with

QUESTION OF THE TARIFF.
Protected Interests In Line 70 Defsa1
Babcock's Plans for .
Revision.

Congressman Grosvenor. OF Ohio,
Familiarity known as the "McKirtey
tabulator" and as the mouthpiece Of
the late presidents administration in
the house of representatives, has
been inspecting the returns of the re.
cent elections, and he says that ''the
returns mean that the protective
tariff is no more to be revised or
modified than the Ten Command
ments." This is not in line with the
last speech made by President Nc
Kinley in Buffalo, the day before he
was assassinated, nor is il in line
with the public utterances of Mr..
Roosevelt while still vice president.
For disguise IL as they may. and quib-
BILE over words as much as they
choose, the republican leaders know
as well as we do that reciprocity is.
in effect, a modification of the pro-
tective tariff system as heretofore
practiced and understood, and that
il amounts to an entering wedge in
the direction of tariff reform,
through the reduction Of the present
almost prohibitive duties.
Such declarations as this Of Mr..
Grosvenor's would seem to mean, il
we assume that he is well advised
as to his party's conduct and line Of
policy at the coming session of con-
gress. that short shrift will be made
of Mr.. Babcock's plans of tariff re-
vision, and that the ratification Of
President McKinley's reciprocity
treaties will again be defeated by the
protected interests" 1t has been
minated that President Roosevelt's
message will contain no specific. ex-
plicit reciprocity recommendations.
But in any event, the congress, and
not the executive, makes tariffs, and
the senate. not the president, con-
firms treaties.
The effect OF this policy upon the
republican reformers of the middle
west can only be conjectured. as yet.
In Iowa. especially, governor has
just been elected who was, only q
few years ago, called an out-and-out
I free trader; and the Iowa republican
platform this year squinted decided
~ in the direction of tariff reform.
II Mr.. Grosvenor is right, and these
low-tariff republicans are to get tho
cold shoulder in congress, it is the
best news for the democratic party
that we have heard in many a day.

POTENT THOUGH BRIEF.
such May President RooseveIt's First
Message 10 Congress he
Made.

President Roosevelt is alike correct
in his determination upon brief but
emphatic message to congress and in
his conviction that president should
not recommend specific legislation to
congress. contenting himself, instead.
with pointing out the need of legis-
lation against certain evils and leav-
ing congress to furnish the remedy.
Nevertheless, q message such as il
now contemplated by the president
may be effectively potent both in wise
guidance of his party and in helpful
influence bearing upon congressional
action. Brevity in such message
should intensity, not dissipate, that
documents forcefulness. The fact
that the president sees certain perils
in existing conditions, and yet leaves
to congress without dictation the
duty devolving exclusively upon that
legislative body, should insure the
faithful performance of the duty.
If, for instance, President Roose-
welt entertains earnest convictions Of
the evils of the trust system as now
prevailing, he can very briefly and
yet with compelling emphasis indi-
cate to congress the necessity for
laws which shall properly restrict the
I trusts.
II. also, ne perceives the malign
features Of the Hanna-F rye-Standard
Oil ship subsidy bill, so apparent to
the people that all the money and
power of the syndicates failed to jam
the bill through the last congress, q
very few words from the president
should render impossible that bills
passage during the approaching ses-
sion. In neither case will there be
necessity for prolonged discussion or
for dictation of congressional action.
The new presidents first message
to congress will be awaited with pro-
found interest. He is known to be
apprehensive of the growing domi-
nance of the trusts. He is believed
TO be opposed to the passage Of the
Hanna-Frye-S Oil ship subsidy
bill. The forthcoming message
should make his position on these is
sues clear beyond all doubling. st.

TARIFF FACTIONS FORMING.
The Repubsican Party IL Rapidly
Going to Pieces Over the Pro-
lection Policy.

II II evident from the dispatches
from Washington to different organs
of public opinion that the republican
party is getting to he more and more
. house divided against itself, SO far
rs the question Of protection is con-
cerned.
There emerges a faction which is
opposed to any disturbance OF Ding
leyism. either by direct legislation or
by treaty. This extreme bourbon fac
tion assumes to have control of the
organization of the new house of rep
resentatives, to have exclusive posses
sion of the key to Mckin.ey's last
speech and to be able to dictate the
policy of congress in both branches.
A second faction energies which
favors abandonment Of the extreme
Dingley duties on most things and
resort to reciprocity treaties with all
nations which will let down their
tariff bars against American products
in return for the letting down of
our bars against their products. Mr..
McKinley's last speech indicated that
he had determined to put himself at
the head of this faction with the ex-
pectation of making il dominant.
There energies also a third faction.
which proposes to attack the Dingley
duties directly, but only such of them
as are for monopoly solely. This fac
ton, of which Mr.. Babcock Is con-
spicuous leader, sees no possible ex-
cuse for tariff protection of Amer
lean producers of articles which they
sell in foreign markets not only in
open compel ition with all Corners, but
in face of hostile tariffs.
While the first of these factions has
recovered from the constern alton
Kinley's Buffalo speech and now
claims to be the whole party, the 9th
ers are by no means disposed TO con
cede the claim.
Mr.. Babcock recently returned from
Europe as firmly resolved as ever Il
push his bill to deprive the monster
steel trust of protection. He showed
that the steel monopoly could turr
out products cheaper than they could
be turned out anywhere else in the
world and that it was in fact using
the Dingley duties merely as an in
strument for the practice of extor
ton upon the American people.
Senator Cullom, representing the
reciprocity faction, has declared with
in the last day or two that the peo
pie of the west are generally In
favor OF reciprocity treaties and tar
if concessions as the best means Of
charging their foreign markets.
Representative Prince. of Illinois. j.
quoted as saying that he expects {
stubborn fight during the coming ses
sion for lower duties by treaties Of
by direct legislation.
Western constituencies are tired o
paying high prices for merchandis,
sold to foreigners for low prices an
tired of seeing foreign markets close,
against them in retaliation for OH
high duties. But it is extremel
doubtful whether they will ever oil
tain relief through the republican
party.-Chicago Chronicle.

pion of aggregated wealth, of an ag-
gressive foreign policy, opening new

with this, the democratic party is to

than the entire army OF four years
ago. In the Philippines alone there
are now nearly 10000 more than the
entire army Of the United States at
that time.
Ii is now more than three years
since the war with Spain was ended.
nearly two years since the "insurrec-
ton" OF the Filipinos was officially an
nounced to be suppressed. and about a
year since preparations were making
for the reduction Of the military

over $4,000 in occupation, either in
