He Could Be Persuaded.

Secretary Gage looms up as ere
ceptive'' candidate for the seat of Will
liam E. Mason in the United States
Senate. That is, he could be persuad-
ed to return to official life if the Illi-
nois Legislature should press the hon.
or upon him. This will surprise many
people who had supposed that Mr..
Cages REIMBURSEMENT of the Treasury
portfolio was voluntary on his part,
and was actuated by a desire to re-
sumo the role of private citizen In
view of the remoteness of the POSSIBLE
ity of his being urged to revise that
determination, it is perhaps not worth
while to open up in detail the subject
of eligibility, fitness, ETC. The Re
publicans of Illinois are too well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Cages record as
banker and fnancier to require any
enlightenment on that point They
may also be presumed to know some
thing of his other qualifications for
the Office of Senator. They doubtless
know, among other things. that his
passionate ardor for tariff reform
prompted him to vote for Grover
Cleveland in three Presidential cleo
lions. All things considered, we may
be pardoned for assuming that Mr..
Cages receptivity is not likely to be
called into active operation in connec-
ton with the Illinois Senatorship.

Mosquitoes in Formosa.

The japanese soldiers in Formosa
have discovered that the bite of the
mosquitoes in that island inoculated
them with malaria. The troops who
occupied Formosa were severely aff1ict-
ed with malaria every summer. and it
is thought, in view of the new theory
OF fevers in Europe and America, that
the mosquito was the active agent in
disseminating the disease germs. An
experiment was made last summer to
arrive at some definite conclusion The
k1elun REGENT was supplied with ap-
planes that completely protected the
men from mosquito bites. None of
these soldiers had malaria during the
summer The other troops on the is
land, however, were afflicted with
malarial diseases, as usual These had
no protection from the bites of the in
sects. The government will now fur
n1sh all of the Formosa troops with
means of protection, and the result
will be watched with great interest
this summer.

wha. They Must show.

The advocates of free sugar must
show that with the almost certain an
nexation of Cuba in the near future,
and with that a coming condition OF
untaxed raw sugar, it is better now to
get trade concessions with other ma
lions while we can. They must also
show that the removal of all protec-
ton from the domestic sugar growing
industry is SO inevitable that the bene-
fits to be obtained from reciprocity
treaties with sugar raising countries
outweigh the losses that would be
caused to the American industry.
They must further show why it Is
well for the sake of free raw sugar
to abandon nearly every other form OF
tax reduction. They have finally to
show why we should not have free re-
fined sugar if we are to have free raw
sugar.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Curiosity of Zoo"

One of the curiosities at the New

snake. It is of the ordinary mill
snake" variety. This snake is about
eleven inches long and two months
old, and what makes it particularly in
teresting is the fact that 1T seems to
have belonged to a family of freaks
In the brood were thirty-nine Other
little snakes. Three of them were
albinos, which in itself is an unusual

If the prophecy of the authorities

chance to drive an entering wedge.
They twisted what Mr.. Mckinley said
into a declaration for free trade, and
his statement that duties which were
no longer needed for purposes of pro-
lection might be RENTED was taken
by them as evidence that he was ready
to abandon the entire Protection the

about the late President, they tried to
make it appear that President Roose-
velt's ST. Paul speech was declaration
in favor of free trade. Then they were
encouraged to believe that a success
full assault on protection could be
made this winter. They think so
no longer.
President Roosevelt's flat-footed dec
laration in favor of Protection in his
message, and his further statement
that reciprocity can only be encouraged
when it is regarded as the hand
maiden of protection, has opened the
eyes of the free traders. They now
see that it is idle to hope for tariff
legislation at this session of Congress.

What the People Want.

There is no general demand for tariff
changes. The country is prosperous.
labor is everywhere employed at high
wages, capital is being invested with
profit to the capitalist and benefit to
the country. What the people want is
to be let alone. SO far as tariff tinker
ing is concerned. Tariff changes by
reciprocity treaties or by any other
method unsettle business and disturb
Industrial and agricultural interests.

enough alone and just give the people
a chance to enjoy the prosperity with
which the country is blessed.-River-
