The suggestion that Senator Foraker
become the Republican candidate for
president does not find favor in all
parts of the state. The New York Sun
launched the boom, which gives II a
suspicious look, as the Sun has done
80 many fiip-fops that it is always diff
fcult to tell what Interior motives it
has. The Cleveland Recorder has the
following concerning Foraker and his
ambition:
The New York Sun booms Senator
Foraker for president in 1904. i says
he Is as able a statesman and as young
as II is well to be for such a high
position. 1t further says that the
American eagle will not have to hide its
head in shame If Foraker is president
The Sun is dead wrong. The Ameri-
can eagle would indeed hide its head
and keep 1t hid, if j. B. Foraker were
ever elected president. If that proud
bird has deigned to notice Joey B. at
all there has been-a hiding of the head
at his actions already Ii is a scandal
that he should hold the seat of United
States senator; but think of him in the
presidential chair. Foraker is the man
who used the same legislature which
elected him as senator to lobby through
the Infamous 50-year franchise bill
under which the people of his own city
are enslaved for half century. A
man who would do such thing as
that, would do anything in the calendar
OF outrages. And he did 1t for large
sum of money paid to himself. Why,
If Foraker were elected president the
eagle would not only hide his head, he
would shed his tail feathers and never
screech again.

he issues to correct an article sent out

ITO the public.--I noticed an article
from Richmond, Ind, to the effect that
would not live with my wife, Carrie,
again. The whole interview is a fake,
/ never saw any reporter and never
said anything of the kind. Mrs. Ma
tion has seen fit to leave our comfor-
table home in Medicine Lodge, Kansas,
and says she will never return to 1t
to live. Therefore. there is nothing
left for me to do than to live some
where else. as I am too old and feeble
to live alone, and I have decided to
spend the remaining few years al
lotted to me with my daughter, Mrs.
William Riddle, in Iberia. o. She takes
good care of me in all my Affections. As
I shall remain here the people have
a right to know that much"

Had to Put Duty on Rus
sian Petroleum.
TAX OUR OIL PRODUCT
Russian Petroleum, Refined In
England and Sent TO United
States, Dutiabie ct Rate
Russia Taxes Our OIL.

Washington, June 20.-Treasury Of
ficials protest against the assumption
in some quarters that the department
has taken up the question of the duty
on petroleum imported from Russia
and decided II adversely to that coun.
try, well knowing that little or no pc
troleum is brought from there into
the United States. Since the Dingley
tariff act went into operation the OFF,
cials say the department never has
directly passed upon the question at
issue. The act itself makes 1t obliga-
tory upon the authorities to impose
corresponding duty on petroleum or
its products imported from any for
eign country which imposes duty on
the American article, but treasury Of
ficials say nothing was done as to
importations from Russia until Jan.
2S, 1901, when the board Of general
appraisers at New York held that
petroleum produced in Russia and i'm
ported into England, there refined,
and thence imported into the United
States was dutiable at a rate equal
to the rate imposed by Russia on pc.
troleum i-Nported into that country
from the United States, and further,
that the provisions of paragraph 626
of the act OF July "a, 1897 (the Ding
ley tariff law, apply to the country
where the oil is produced and not to
the country Of expectation. This de-
cision, 1t is contended at the treas
ury department, Is the only one
which could be made in view Of the
plain wording Of the law The only
other action in regard to the impor.
tation of petroleum, treasury officials
say, which has ever taken by the de-
partment, was that Of March 8, 1901,
which required invoices Of products
Of crude petroleum to be accompanied
by United States consular certifi-
cate showing the place where the pc
troleum contained therein was pro-
duced. No reference whatever, it is
said at the department, is made to
any particular country save calling
attention to the decison of the board
OF general appraisers. AS far as the
department knows not a dollar in du.
ties has been laid on Russian pe-
troleum imported direct, nor was the
action of March 8, it is claimed, taken
with any special reference to that
country. us ,s- lss, nfn.H
Russia, in retaliation, increased
some duties.
Here are the exports to Russia for
the fiscal year 1900 of articles subject
to the increased duties:
Bicycles and parts of: Total ex-
ports 1900. $3,553,149; exports to Rus.
sia. $73,S64
Rosin: Total exports, $3,796,367;
