ing to her many friends and associates.
Hers was sweet, pure life, such as
influences all coming in contact with
it. She was bright and attractive, and
always happy and pleasant. Com
plant and unkind thoughts had no
part in her being. She was dearly
beloved by large circle of friends
and acquaintances, by whom she will
be sorely missed. The influence of
her sweet character and the life she
lived will endure, however, and bear
fruit with those who were close to her.
There was an almost endless profus-
ion OF floral tributes and offerings of
sympathy from friends and organiza-
tions of the city, and expressions of
sympathy have poured in upon the
bereaved from all sides. Those who
gave care, to the casket during the
last rites were from the High school
class to which the deceased had be-
longed. They were: Harry Carbon,
George Fehlinger, Howard Hopes,
Chas. White, Addison BeDillon and
Horace Colman. A notable tribute
to the departed young lady was paid
by the board of supervisors of Ma
haska county. In respect to the de-
ceased the board adjourned its ses-
sion from two until four o'clock and
made it possible for all the offices of
the court house to close formally and
legally. The county officers attended
the funeral almost to person. AL
though Miss Thatcher had been dep.
uty county recorder only short time
she was popular at the court house,
i'd will be mourned by her associates
there. She is the first person, so far
as the memory of county officials
reaches back, who has died while
holding county office, except s. B,
Waters, who died shortly after ente =
ing upon his second term as auditor

POLICE NEWS.
Troubles of the People Told by
the Policeman.

A man giving the name of Harlie
Sanders, who claimed to be from
Charlton, came to police headquar-
ters last night and asked to be locked
up for the night. He was arranged
before the mayor this morning and
underwent pretty thorough exami-
nation. He said that he came from
Charlton with three other men, Ray
Leighton, Charles Smith and Fred
Timmons by name. Timmons and he
expected to run a stand at the fair
but finding it put off were preparing
to return home. They were going to
catch a freight train and just before
it pulled out Timmons and Smith
grapped him while Leighton'took his
pocket book containing SO. The
three then boarded the train. He
said he had not seen the men since
and thought probably they went on
to Davenport where Leighton and
Smith had intended to go. Timmons
was but a boy, the.son of the court
house janitor in Charlton. Sanders
was put through the sweat box and
finally discharged as there was no
reason to doubt his story. The at
tack was made just south of the Iowa
Central depot about $3.50 Tuesday
evening.
Officer Black rounded up a couple
In the west end of the city last night
and they were put in Jail to await
trial. The man gave the name OF
Dillon and the girl is Anna Peterson,
who has been noted in police circles
for some time.
There was a large sprinkling OF
DRINKS and tramps this morning and
the mayor picked out a good sized
gang for work on the streets.

EoREIoN COMPETITION.

The reduction of the rate OF inter-
est In the United States Is bringing
about a great change in the industrial
conditions and is removing one of the
chief props of the protective tariff.
Manufacturers are nearly always large
borrowers, and the high rates of In
terest that prevailed until the last few
years, was one Of the chief reasons
why they could not compete with their
foreign competitors, This barrier is
now removed and the charge that we
are still unable to compete with for
eigners is well answered by the Chi
cago Chronicle, which says
Somebody signing himself "A Lanca-
shire Cotton Spinner" writes from
Highland Park to Chicago contem-
porary to offer proof that English cot
ton mills are far behind the pale OF
competition from the United States
Some twenty years ago the late James
G. Blaine, when secretary Of state, pre-
pared an official report showing that
even then American mills could pro-
duce common cotton fabrics at less
cost than English mills could and that
the only reason why Americans needed
protection in this branch OF manufac-
ture was because their plants cost moro
and the rates of interest were higher
In this country, Lately we have heard
great deal about the abundance and
cheapness Of capital here, and our su-
periority in machinery, construction of
plants, and so on. Then can 1t be true
that as competitors we are relatively
worse off than we were in 1881? True,
our cotton manufacturers are still han
dicapped by our tariff to a considerable
extent. But they are less so than for
merly because machinery costs less in
spite Of the tariff. II, then, we are less
able to compete we must have retro
graded, relatively, in skill.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE
ECInENT


The supreme court decision on the
Porto Rico cases has made consider
able nutter on the presidents train,
according to the correspondent Of the
Washington Post who accompanies
the party on the trip. He forecasts
the action Of the administration to
meet the new conditions in the Phil
ippines brought about by the decision
as follows.
The president will probably issue an
order applying solely to the Philip
pines, imposing upon goods exported
from these islands to the United States
rate of duty equal to the tariff i'm
posed by the Dingley law upon the
same articles entering the United
States. This, it is believed, will close
the door by method certain to be
sustained by the supreme court II
test case should be brought before
that tribunal for decision.
Some consideration was given to the
question whether the president had the
power, under the Spooner act, to i'm
pose a duty in this country upon ar
ticles imported from the Philippines.
The general opinion was that grave
doubt existed as to whether he pos
sessed the power and it seemed to be
accepted that the export duty plan Of
ferod the most feasible solution. The
Importance Of speedy action was en-
phasized in view of the fact that #
the matter is left unsettled until con-
gress meets next December, there will
be very large importations from the
Philippines without the payment of
duty. In addition to this It was re-
allied that the exporters of Chinese
tea, which pays 10 cents pound duty,
and Chinese silks, which are also sub
iectAd to a high tariff. would send THAR
Hutchinson gazette., 1901-06-20

goods to the Philippines, paying the
slight duty there exacted, and then
have them forwarded to the United
States, where they could be entered
without additional cost. Japanese and
Oriental goods Of all descriptions could
also enter the United States by the
roundabout but economical route.
From this II will be seen that the
trumphs Of Imperialism also has its
trials and trlbulatlons and the end Ia

POLITICAL COMMENT.

When congress tackles the tariff
question, the Porto Rican, Cuban and
Philippine tariff will give the admin
istration a good many sleepless nights
Funds are getting short In the Phil
ippines and sundry expenses formerly
borne by the insular treasury are now
being paid by the treasury at Wash
ington, This is to be expected, for
extravaganza and high salaries are
running riot there. We shall either
have to be taxed to keep the Philippine
government going or the natives will
have to be burdened with more taxes
than they can bear. This is one Of the
results Of Imperialism.
