Talking to the Galleries.

Manchester (N. HD Union.
 It will not do to place too much rell- arce on the talk of the tariff reform, m dulged in by Republican leaders. They may be more shrcwd than Speaker Hen dcl son. but they have not his honesty. He came out SquarclY and said that. be- ing a Republican, he. is a protectionist' and that is just what every genuine Re publican is. Men like Senator Cullom' who said: "We ought to revise the tar if but do it in such way that husi- ness conditions will not be disturhed;' or like Senator Mason. who said: 'I be- lirvc that if the tariff is outgrOwn it should be readjusted; if the trusts are profiting from the tariff more than is good for the whole people 1t should be revised" may speak from conviction, but it is very likely that they are inspired by the conviction that the Republican party, to hold it's power, must make an out ward show of being willing to do what it has no intention of doing. If they were perfectly honest--if they really want a revision of the tariff. would they not come over to the party which has so long advocated such revision? The party.'' however is their first cOnsidera- tinn Not how to benefit the nation, hut how to save the party Mr. Henderson is honest He does not think that the trusts can he best controlled through q revision of the tariff. On the contrary he thinks that such course would be ruinous and he does not hesitate to say so It can pretty safely he said that MT Henderson expresses the views of the Republican party. as a whole. and tha' the party, in the future as in the past will continue to be the friend of the trusts Of course there are some men calling themselves Republicans who hon. estlv believe as the Democrats do or this tariff question. hut when the aver age RepubliCan leader prOfeSSes to favor tariff revision he is talking about some, thing which he knows his party will not popularity. Don't believe him.

APOSTLES OF EATING LESS.
Food Faddists Have Had Great
 Year for Their Theories.

Saturday Evening Post.
 It has been a fine year for the III. creasing thousands who have fads about their food. The high prices of almost everything in the market have given the opportunity. The advocates of no break fast, of meat once day, or no meat at all of certain kinds of vegetables, or no kinds of vegeta bles, of nuts only, or the absolute avoidance of nuts. of raw 1ru't, coffee nor tea nor sassatras, ana or aii coffee nor tea nor sassafra, and or all the other things, or any part Of tning !, or of no things at all, have come forth, not singly, but in battalions,. and have told us how to live to be hundred-I We don't die.
 be thankful to these advisers. They are sincere They want 10 do good. They give their time for the benefit of others They are sad co think of ignorant thous- an1s going to early graves on full stom- achs. They raise their warning voices against satiety. People should stop eat, ing before they get enough. The oid saving about losing what IS lett on the plates finds no echo in their ooctrl1es. mes Eating for the sake of eating is sin. Eat ing all the things that are offered .s wickodness. So they find something bad in every number of the bin of fare-from typhoid fever in raw oysters 10 oyspHp- sia and vain regrets in pie
 They have a right to their own conVic lions. A man down in Virginia went without food for thirty days thls year; But like as not they doubled the pTice ol his board for the next month. feop.e use the starvation plan for many aH- ments. Many of them go to health re- sorts and pay $50 to the hotel doctor, who strikes off from the bill of fare all the good things they would like to eat. The hotels get their savings. the doctor gets his big fees, and they get-hungrE. But most of the faddists have their i'm aginations in their culinary departments and it is not reasonable of them to eX- pect the robust members of society to toi- low their examples. It may be wrong, but the average American wants break fast It may hurt him. but he will nave meat. He may be jeapordiz.ng his very all the way from soup to satisfaction. And somehow it agrees with him. Look at the other nations. We don't know or any that beat him when the fond or Ut fuel within him works it's way to results in the progress and civilization Of man. kind

Building in New Orleans.
rleans Times-Democrnt.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The Chicago Constructor News, in compiling figures of the h1i}ding going on in the leading American cities, puts New Orleans among those in winch the greatest activity is being shown. Its building operations show an increase of 30 per cent as compared with the same period of last year. an1 it stands sixth in the list in the matter of improvements.
 This is all the more gratifying from the fact that most of the cities show an act ual loss in building operations ,attrio- utable to the high price of materials.
 New Orleans has never been 'booIl- e1''' in the building line or built on spec ulation. al least not since 1866, and what ever bui! ing is going on here now is due to i}' reased demand for houses. both res; nces and stores, and may be accepted A., evidence of growth of pop ulation and business. even if we did not have other and more direct evidence to prove this fact.
 The much smaller list of residences for rent just now at the season of the year when most of the leases are sign and the inability to meet the demand for stores in the central portion of the citv show that New Orleans has filled mn" Y-ll Ylat some building will have to be done in the next few years to me t the requirements. The probabilities are that the encouraging figures given of the building trades here will continue to i'm prove. Nothing can check it except eN- cessively high prices for building mate rials. and this unlikely with the lull in building operations elsewhere.

Ore smelted by Electricity.

 Sault Ste Marie is but half as far from the sources of the ore as are tha smelters of the present day, and success in electro-smelting there means that twice the amount of ore could he trans norted by the fleet now in the ore trade, and that with the present equipment the output of iron and steel on the Great Tak cs would hn doubled Along with tn, developmont of the new industry would come the introduction of line of steam CTS to carry iron md steel from the pro ducing works to Buff do and Georgian Ray ports.

NEW SUFFRAGISTS.

In this issue of The Advertiser will be found a letter to The Cherokee q. T) Advocate, from Vinita, in that Territory on the subject of politics among the Cherokee Indians-a subject by the way, which will strike the average reader as anomalous. People have been so long ac- customed to look on the Indians as awards of the nation" without any po- aitical rights, that 1t is difficult to realize that at least one tribe will soon become objects of interest to the politicians of the two great national parties.
 It is true that the Cherokees have been voting for some years for their own trib- al officers and for members of their Gen. eral Council, but as the letter states they have taken little interest in the politics of the whites. If the Territory shall be admitted into the Union as a State, how ever, it will put quite different face on the matter. They will then become ob- 5ects of interest to Republicans and Dem x ocrats, and we may expect their votes and their influence to be sought for with as much eagerness as is shown in the case of their white brethren.
 There is one peculiar feature in con- ! nection with them, as shown by the let ter referred to, and that is their opposi- tion to the negro. but if by "Freedmen" the writer means all who have any inter mixture of other than Indian blood the designation seems little out of place. It is well known that in all the Southern tribes there have been intermarriages with the negroes as well as with the whites, and with Indians of other tribes. If the full bloods bar out all others and refuse to associate with them politically there will evidently be some nice ques- tions for students of racial blood and characteristics to solve. At all events, the advent of the Cherokees will add another source of interest to our national politics

How the Tariff Robs Americans.

Washington Specitl.
 Another prominent Democrat who is now in Washington is Senator Harris of Kansas, who has just returned from Eu- rope
 Everything of American make is cheaper abroad than in this country, said the Senator My work for the St. Louis Exposition took me to all the great stock farms, and I was particular to ask what the Englishmen paid for Americsan farming machinery, pitch forks, hatchets an1 other necessaries of farm management, and l found that they paid a great deal less than I am forced to pay in Kansas City for the same ar ticleS. It seems very great injustice and imposition for American citizens 'o be forced to pay such high prices here, when foreigners secure the same things at d much lower rate. It is the high manufacturer says that he must be pro tected against the foreigner. This is not true. He has nothing to fear from the foreign manufacturer, because he IS Suc- cessfully invading the foreign market Neither is it true that the American goods which are sold abroad are surplus products. The American manufacturer Is selling his goods at a fair profit and at a tremhendous profit at home.
 Tt seems to me that It would be very easy to lower the tariff, which would give the American consumer an opportunity to purchase American goods at a de- creased price, and, If necessary, the American manufacturer could raise the price slightly abroad Something, how ever, ought to be done. The present con ditiol of affairs is not just to the Amer ican consumer. and l do not believe th2 American people will stand 1t much long CT. Something Is radically wrong when can buy American shoes abroad for less than | pay for them here. notwith- standing the fact that freight for 3,0W miles has to be paid upon them.

A Race Incident of Note.
Atlanta News.

AIldnld NtWS'
 One of the dramatic and significant ln- cidants of our recent Atlanta life has not receved it's due attention and proper eX ploitation in the columns of the city press.
 The funeral of Richard J. Henry, col ored for so long time the porter and private servant of ms Honor Mayor lh' ingstoa Mjms, embol.ed in it's program an episode that Is too notable and too altogether pleasing to be omitted from special comment.
 The negro had been for many years the office servant of Major Mims' South ern manager of the business of the New York Life Insurance Company. His fidel- itv. his courtesy, his Intelligence and his effective service has endeared him not onl yto his master and employers but to all the numerous company of white men of all degrees who came in contact with him. Large sums of money were en- trusted daily to his care for transmits sion to the bank, and it is estimated that in this position he had carried upon his person millions of dollars belonging to this great corporation safely and without mistake from the local offices o1 the company to the banks of deposit
 At his funeral the respect and regard of the white friends of this admirable
  made a large representation in the large audience. The aisles and Chancel rails of big Bethel Church were garlanded and draped with flowers sent there by Can- casian hands who paid floral tribute to the merits and good qualities Of one who, in his skin at least, was typical negro.
 The funeral, conducted by high officials of Henry's own church and race, was most impressive and full of nigh tributes to the character and record of the de- ceased. The Mayor of the city and his accomplished wife occupied front seats in the church during the services and whsn the ministerial offices had progress ed to a certain point the Mayor of :he city. who was also the employer of the | deceased, was called upon to speak. Without any special time for prepara- | tion and mainly upon the impulse ana 1 suggestion of the moment. Mayor Mims, | who has long been held one of the most | accomplished and ari@tocrauc gentlemen | of the South, a cavalier and Bourbon | of the most pronounced type, arose ana | said:
 You call on me to speak on this oc- casion was certainly unexpected, and
 vet while so heartily commenting all that | has been so feelingly and eloqucntly said | in reference to my dear dead friend my friend of more than a third of a | century-I cannot refrain from express
 ing the grief that his death has occa-
 stoned me. He was ever doing a charity
 and Kindness to all sorts of people. He
 was, indeed. a model husband and fa-
 ther. a good citizen and loyal and d. voted friend and Christian gentleman | To mo his offices of concern and thought | fitness were constant and grateful. m | the course of nature he should have sur l yiyed me, and I always felt that if Inc 1 did there was no living man on whom | could better rely for kindness and care | for my family"

HANNA's RAKE OFF.
How Republican Politicians are
 Profting by the Strike.

Hartford (Conn.) Times.
 Marx Hanna is heavily interested in the soft coal mines of Ohio, and he IS not losing a cent on the Pennsylvania coal strike
 A year ago his coal was selling at the mines at s1.15 per ton. Today he is get ing s for it. Thus his profits on his coal business are several hundred per cent larger than they were on October j. 1901.
 Does the Hon. Mark Hanna wish to have the anthracite coal strike come 10 an end? How can he? He euis, is aIready rIeheS hundreds of thousands of dollars rlchert because of the good work which his friend, John Mitehelj is doing Ing for nomn nm' i, ,vo,,id [n,id he found that somebody wh knows the Hon Matt Quay and stands close to him is profiting very largely II, the same way It is said that the coal business of the Pennsylvania Railroad "a soft coal road) is nearly 50 per cent greater than it was year ago.
 There are millions in this coa! strlN' for a good many of the Ohio and Penn slyvania politicians. They are all Repuo- nCans be it remembered.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer' tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newsDaperdom which comes under its notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol tCl denoting ''golden. - which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with single sym bol; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL col to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 1901 and is the only paper 30 distinguished in this section of the South.

The Indian in Politics.
vinita, I. T., Letter in Cherokee Adv

Vinita, l. T., Letter in Cherokee Advo-
 Much speculation has been indulged in by politicians who are looking forward to the Indian vote of the Indian Territory since the Indians have become citizens of the United States by act of Congress.
 A definite alignment will take place Tn the Cherokee Nation next year when an election for Principal Chief of the Chero- kees will be held to elect successor to T. M. Burlington, present Principal Chief. The Cherokees have heretofore taken little interest in the politics of their white brothers and have clung tena- ciously to the politics of the Indian. The Cherokees have always had two great po- litical parties since their removal west of the Mississippi. which are now known as the Downing, Democratic" and the Nation, Republican"
 During tine Civil War the North and the South received an equal following from the Cherokecs; the fulbloods pr!n- cipallly joined the Union army. During the last ten years the vote has been close in the National Council. For one term of two years the Downings had d majority both in the Senate and House. The Downings usually have been suc- cessful in the House, but the Nationals generally capture the Senate. At the last election the result was National Sen ate and a Downing House. with a ma jority of four votes on joint ballot of both houses in favor of the Nationals. The Executive Department has been of the Downing party since the days of Den his Bushyhead's administration.
 The fullbloods furnish a majority of the Yetcrs of the National Party. while the Downings have the intermarriei whites, Delawares, Shawnees and halt- breeds.
 When the Indian Territory is organized into q State or Territory of the Unitel States the fullblood Cherokees will be found In the ranks of the Republicans If the Freedmen join the Democracy, but if the Freedmen join the Republicans, it is probable that the fullbloods will join | tte Democrats as they will never be in the same party with the negro.

 suicide. according toThe Chicago Post,and the only explanation he left was a note saying: "I have just found out what an ass I ann" Now, We contend that this was a bad break and a dangerous prece- dent. It was also a totally unexampled proceeding. People are finding out just what he did every day, but they don't kill themselves for it. He should have cashed in and said nothing about it. Who knows but that numerous other unfor- tunates who make the same discovery Gsing to do? He shouldn't have done it.
