SENATOR ELKINS ON RECIPROCITY.
SAYS THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE SATISFIED
WITH PRESENT PROSPERITY.

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TnIBuNEl
Washington. Nov Ex-senator Stephen b. Elklns.
OF West Virginia, had this TO say to-day about the
extension OF this country's foreign trade by re-
ciprocal concessions.
| am against all reciprocity that Injuries the
home market. / am opposed TO the present view
OF reciprocity for good many reasons Ihree OIL
them follows:
First-This is not the reciprocity that Blaine de-
sired and urged That contemplated reciprocity
with South America and the West Indies IL DID
not contemplate reciprocity with Europe The Pan
American Congress of years ago was essentially
congress of countries on this hemisphere
Second--I don't believe in revising the tarifl
through the treaty making power That was not
intended by the founders of our government Tne
powers of revision belong to Congress, and ought
TO begin with the House, which originates tarifr
laws. -
Third.-In the of Europe II would be difh-
cult TO satisfy every country. If we made treaty
with country of Europe, for instance. We
would offend another Why should we have an
agreement with France and not with some other
country equally as good friends TO u.s.
Above all these reasons. however, is the great
reason that getting along nicely. with more
prosperity than ever knew before, and We
ought be satisfied with that

DOM ESTIC TERRITORY.

The long expected decision in what is
 known as "the Fourteen Diamond
 Rings Case" was made known by the United States Supreme court yesterday and it was a surprise to some. The case involved the constitutionality of | the imposition of customs duties upon | merchandise brought into the United States from the Philippines, after the exchange of the peace treaty with Spain. Emil J. Pepke, a soldier in the
 army of the United States in the island
 mond rings, and brought them, while still in the service of the United States, aboard the United States ves- sel transporting his regiment to San Francisco, where he was mustered out. Later he came with the rings to Chi cago, where the rings were seized by the customs officers under the claim that the Philippine Islands were for eign territory and that merchandise brought from those islands to the United States was subject to customs duties, which were not paid by Pepke. The case came to the Supreme court from the District court of the United States for the northern division of Illi- nois. In that court the facts set up in Pepke's plea were admitted by demur- Ter by the United States and that court sustained the demurrer, overrul- ing the plea and entering judgment against the merchandise thus seized and directing that it be sold in ac- cordance with the law.
 The Supreme court now says that the District court was wrong, because the Philippines were at the time the rings were brought in United States territo- ry. Ceasing to be foreign territory, they became domestic territory. the

LOVE IN K K.4NSAS.

Those who like to see marriages arr ranged without very much sentiment, and with what there is on the male side of the house, will be encouraged by a marriage which took place in Fort Scott, Kansas, the other day. Both the bride and groom are possessed of val uable property and the bride is the owner of several farms. Before the cer- emony an agreement was signed to the effect that each should have control of the property belonging to each. How ever, the good woman got a little the best of the dickering. By the terms of the agreement she is to have life in terest in his estate after death, but he is not given the same right with respect to hers. After everything had been completed properly the two stood up and were married, and then the hus- band attempted to salute his bride. "Go way, John,'' she said, "I ain't a-going to let you kiss me in public"
 And they will live happily ever after until the divorce.

QUITE WASTED.


 Just before certain train arrived al one of our principal stations the other afternoon Winsome young woman, el- egantly attired, came up to the closely guarded barrier which blocked the way 1 to the platform. The official stationed | at the spot looked obdurate.
 Please be so good as to let me through" said the girl, beseechingly, Sorry; can't possibly do it. miss; it's against orders" was the reply. But, please, do want very much to meet him when he gets out" responded the girl, with a bewitching look that was perfectly irresistible; he will be so bitterly disappointed if l am not on the platform to meet him when the train gets in."
 Well I'll take the chances" thought the collector, as he pushed back the barrier a little way. Perhaps shes only been married a few months he reyected, becoming sentimental; "and it may be her husbands been away for day or two, and she wants to be on the spot when he gets out of the car riage, No doubt we all get it that bad once in our lives, anyhow"
 Thus meditating, the collector kept his gaze down the platform toward the spot where the radiant young creature stood impatiently tapping her foot. Soon the expected train appeared, and then, to the collectors chagrin and sur prise, the girl ran up to the luggage

4 WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

Some of the members of the Board of Finance last evening solemnly and sad ly voted that the publication of the in troduction to the estimates in the Jour nal and Courier was not authorized by the Board of Finance, and that they re- gretted that the publication was made.
 It is painful to see gentlemen of the high finance" so depressed, and we hope they will soon resume their wonted gay ety. It may help them out of the Slough of Despond if they will bear in smind that they are not the sole authority for the publication of news in this city, and that even a high financier can take himself too seriously. Brace up, sor- rowful brothers, you wont have to be members of the Board forever, and the Journal and Courier can assure you for your encouragement that in the course of it's long career it has seen the rise and fall of even queerer public officers than you are.

SOME WISE FARMERS.

| Some farmers who live in Solomon,
 Kansas, are showing that they are worthy to live in town named after
 wise man. They have formed trust to take care of their grain and secure to themselves the profits which have heretofore gone to the middlemen. At first it had been expected simply to sell
 to the mills in this country. The farm
 CTS, however, have found another outlet
 for their grain. It happened that the
 man selected as manager of the farm
 CTS elevator association at Solomon
 was intelligent. He had worked in the
 Touring mills of a cooperative society
 of Germany and it occurred to him
 that arrangements could be made for
 shipping grain directly from Solomon to German cooperative associations. His idea was carried out and grain, therefore, is being billed from Solomon directly to Berlin. The farmers are obliged to pay local freight rates as far as the Missouri river where they get through rate to Berlin of twenty one cents per one hundred pounds. They do not have to pay any commits sion charges or anything for elevator storage. It Is said that during the en- tire season the Solomon farmers have received, on an average, three cents per bushel more for their wheat than the representatives of the grain dealers have been offering. They have taken particular pains to send out grain of the best quality so that patrons of the may feel that they will not be imposed upon in any way. Some of the mills have been willing to pay premium for the Solomon grain.
 Farmers unions will perhaps grow in and in power, and by and by the farmer may be as Independent as he used to be, and as he ought to be.

The Worlds Il stage, and Life's the play,
 And from our seats the scene we scan; The great ones strut the boards-we pay
 Their keep and lodgings while we can. Slowly the bitter truth We learn,
 No matter if the plays q bore, Though one may hiss, none dares return
 To ask his money at the door. But silent, as with spirits cowed,
 We keep our seats, afraid to speak; Why are the actors high and proud,
 And we, the audience, poor and meek? And some pcrforce must sit and smrk
 Some in the orchestra applaud Poor hirelings, fitted for the work,
 Their souls the price of their reward. The mighty actors come and go,
 Statesmen and kings, and we are here But dull spectators of the show,
 struggling mass, piled tier on tier, From orchestra to gallery,
 As the wide curtains roll away, One of Il thousand who is free

 And to think that I was jackass enough to let her go through, and to make up in my mind such a stupid yarn as to why she wanted to get on the platform" said the collector, with unutterable disgust, as he confded his story to one of the station policemen.
