Mascagni, the italian composer, is
passionately fond of jewelry. He
wears arm and ankle bracelets and a
number of valuable rings.
William Dean Howells does his writ
ing at businesslilSe desk which is a
miracle of neatness. He cannot work,
he says, among any sort of disorder.
Count Tolstoi's study is a small room
with an unpainted and uncarpeted
floor, vaulted ceiling and thick stone
walls. These last are covered with
implements of labor.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, said
in a recent after-dinner speech in De-

unique. I am probably the only Michi-

no right to the title of lumber king"
Stephen Phillips, the poet, is a Cam

NO CHANCE EoR A QUARREL.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, predicts that the Babcock
bill to repeal the Tariff as a remedy
for trusts will never be reported from
the Ways and Means Committee.
Here is a case where the wish is not
father to the thought. Far from It..
Nothing would please Senator Jones
and the party Of Populists and Free
Traders more than to see the Repub-
licans ina quarrel over Tariff revision.
They will not see it. There is no
earthly prospect that any measure
embOdying the mischievou3 provis-
ions Of the Babcock bill will be re-
ported from the House Committee on
Ways and Means of the Fifty-seventh
Congress. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the bill be again introduced
by Mr.. Babcock or by any Republic
can. Some Democrat may revive
the project. If so, it will die the
death. But there isn't going to be
any Republican quarrel over it.

BUTCHERS WRAPPING PAPER.
Brown Sheets of old suppIanted by
the White Roll which Is Far
Superior.

A man who few years ago carried
home from the butchers once in awhile
brown paper-covered parcel as care
fully concealed as a broad overcoat
sleeve or a convenient newspaper made
it impossible went into a butchers the
other day and asked what had become
of the brown paper which was former.
ly used for wraE~ing up meat, says
the New York Sun.
''Why is you never see that kind
of paper at your butchers now?" he
asked
you mean what they call straw
paper, Of COURSE" said the butcher.
"Oh, yes, that's a back number, al
most. You'll find it sonnet times in a
country butcher store, but hardly ever
nowadays in a city store. Why is it {
Oh, the white paper is cheaper and
more convenient.
"You might not think so, but that
is true. Ten years ago we had moth
ing but the brown paper. 1t came
in sheets and reams and it required
a lot of handling, and it was always
in the way, Now almost every meat
store has rolls of white paper, from
which the clerks can tear off a piece
of exactly the right size
'The brown paper was more porous
than the white. As a matter of fact
the white paper is almost waterproof
whereas the old brown paper used tc
be soaked through in almost no time
ut was partly on that account that
people didn't like the brown paper
Men didn't like to carry home their
purchases in such hideous wrappings
Nowadays we can put up a piece of
meat in a neat, compact bundle OF
white paper and slip that into a fresh
clean paper bag, and it's a pleasure
to carry il home. That helps us, OF
course.
There are few places in the city
where you will still find the brown pa.
per. Those places are the big whole
sale houses, and the only reason they
keep it is that the drivers use the pa.
per as a sort of carpet for their wag-
ons. The white paper, however, is
sometimes used for that purpose.
1T might surprise you to know it,
but we have calls for the brown pa.
per once in awhile now. The calls
for the most part come from persons
who have young children in the fam.
lily. Somebody discovered a while ago
that you could make excellent band.

UNCLE SAM AND JOHN Bull.

The New York journal in a recent
issue published two contrasting pic
lures, one being the picture Of Uncle
Sam, who was described as 'the man
with all the money!" the other being
the picture Of John Bull, who was
designated as "the man who needs the
money" Fifty years ago, when
Richmond Golden won his great vic
tory for Free-Trade in England, he
predicted that before the end of the
century Free-Trade would be tri-
umphant throughout the world. If
he could look at these two end-of-the-
century pictures, the one of the man
with all the money representing the
country which has stood, with but a
few temporary lapses from economic
sanity, for the system Of Protective
Tariff; the one Of the man who needs
the money representing his own Free
Trade England, which has remained
true to his own Free Trade teachings
Of half a century ago, he would need
no further explanation Of the fact Of
his predictions having proved wholly
unfulflled, and Of the fact that Free
trade, instead of being triumphant
throughout the world at the the end
Of the nineteenth century, has come
more and more into disrepute as the
years have gone on. The pictures
tell the story. Our Protective Tariff
has filled our treasury to oyerHowing
and has made the world our debtor.
Free-1rade, on the other hand, has

TARIFF CONCESSIONS TO FILIPINos

Coincidently with the passage by the House
of Representatives of the bill imposing the
Dingley rates Of duty on goods from the Phil
ippines comes the report ofthe Philippine Com
mission recommending a reduction OF 5O per
cent in the imposts on tobacco hemp, sugar
and other products of the islands Probably, If
this recommendation had been before the lead
ers of the House when they prepared the pend
ing measure or at any time while it might have
had consideration before the final vote, some
change would have been made in the bill to
conform to the needs of the islands as set
forth by those best acquainted with their con-
dition The fight that has been successfully
made on the constitutional question involved in
the Foraker act for Porto Rico was to establish
the power of Congress to deal with the outly
ing possessions with perfectly free hand as
their interests might require unhampered by
our own domestic revenue and administrative
systems The object was not to build wall to
shut our dependents out from reasonable ac-
cess to our markets. In Porto Rico, after the
Foraker act had served the purpose Of estab
! fishing that freedom and furnishing needed
! Immediate revenue in the island until a scheme
of internal taxation could be perfected, its i'm
posts lapsed and the Porto Ricans now enjoy
free entry for their products to this country.
| 1t is undoubtedly necessary to pass tariff
bill applying TO goods from the philippines.
| They have rates Of duties on imports from for
eign countries different from our own We al
! low other nations 20 trade with the Philippines
on the same terms as ourselves, and are bound
TO do so if we would have the privileges of the
open door in China. If we maintain no custom
house through which Philippine goods must
pass, the imports Of Europe and the Orient into
| the Philippines can be brought on here without
paying duties at our established rates, and our
| whole revenue system can be put in confusion

crB4y ELECTION ARRANGEMENTS.

In another column of to-day's paper we pub
lish letter from Mr.. Fidel G. Pierra reviewing
briefly his petition TO the Secretary of war Tor
a postponement Of the Cuban election ana a
reorganization of the election boards, togefner
with some salient extracts from his letter 10
the Secretary Of War in reply to the latter
decision not to interfere in the matter MI
Pierra will be pleasantly remembered by our
readers as one Of the most conspicuous and
most esteemed Cuban leaders in the late revo
luton, and his representations upon this subject
are entitled TO courteous and careful consider
alton. We cannot however, regard his appear
as altogether convincing. There are some de-
tails of matters OF fact upon which MS testl-
mony is not to be ignored. But neither can we
ignore the expert opinion and deliberate judg-
ment OF the United States administrators who
are responsibly dealing with the case
So far as the general principles involved are
concerned it does not seem possible to agree
with Mr. Pierra. We do not for moment sup
pose that he and his friends, supporters of the
candidacy Of General Maso, intended for one
moment to involve the United States in any
local faction feuds in Cuba Nevertheless, such
would surely have been the effect of q granting
of their plea The United States must, above
all things maintain an attitude Of sincere i'm
partialty toward the various political parties in
Cuba, and when once q suitable date for cleo
ton has been fixed and a representative cleo
tions board constituted this government cannot
revoke or alter those arrangements to suit the
ends of some Individual candidate. There is no
question that the Board Of Scrutiny. to which
General Maso's followers object, impair
tally chosen, without regard to any mans can
didacy and before any candidate had been put
forward. Mr.. Pierra himself comedies that such
the case That now long after, it should
be reconstructed in the interest of a candidacy
which has since been developed is a demand
which cannot be regarded as reasOnab If it
were granted there is no assurance that another
such demand would not be made the next week
in behalf of another candidate and so on. with
the net result that there never would be any
election or any Cuban government
1t would never do to establish such prece-
dent OF mingled meddling and delay. The
United States must keep itself entirely apart
from the local insular politics of Cuba, and
Cuba itself must proceed with the organization
and establishment Of its own government at the
earliest practicable date. This latter fact is
strongly emphasized by the urgent plea for
immediate commercial reciprocity We believe
such reciprocity is much needed and should be
granted. But It is evident that the granting Of
it would be much simplified and expedited if
Cuba Gow had responsible government of her
own. Less factional intriguing and more prac-
tical getting down to the serious business Of
sef-government are what Cuba most needs
