Speaker Henderson admits some
changes might wisely be made lin the
present tariff, but sees 50 much danger In
opening up the subject for revision he
would leave it as II Is. He says;
my judgment lis that IL Is more import
ant at this time I'm the interest of this
country to reduce taxation upon our
selves and stop, TO a proper degree, the
influx of the peoples money into the pub
lie treasury. With the country I'm an
unparalleled prosperous condition, cannot
believe IL Is wise to begin a reduction
which inevitably will open up the whole
field of revision and thus put a serious
check upon the business of the country.
The moment the country understands
there Is to be a revision of the tariff the
jobbers will suspend large purchases
hoping to buy at lower prices. This will
compel the manufacturer to reduce his
business, and this will compel q reduction
of IN pay rolls, and a serious business
calamity might ensue."

state Oil Inspector Emil Branch

State III inspector Emu DTaucn
was in this city last week to inspect
the oil being sold here. The first
oil inspected were the two grades OF
the Standard Oil Company. There
..as a disclosure here. These two
oils are supposed to be vastly differ
ent in quality as we'll as in price.
The difference in price is maintained
IN this city by the company, but
when the samples of the oils were
given the test by the inspector both
flashed at the same place, 113, max
ing the incredulous believe that the
only difference between the oils is
in the price. The Corn Planter oil
which is also sold here, was tested
and flashed at 118, showing con-
c~lusiyely that it is the best oil. The
oil Inspector stated that the laws
of this state are inadequate and that
the first duty Of the Legislature is to
pass a law compelling better oil.
The Inspector mentioned a case at
Britton where the oil just barely
slid through the state test of los.
We asked about the validity of a
more exacting measure. H&replied
that if the state had the right and
power to enforce the present poor
excuse, the state has the same right
to enforce a law which would compel
fair treatment from the Standard Oil
Company, which shows no disposi-
ton to be fair unless bound down by
strict laws. The Standard Oil Com
pany will find at the next session of
the South Dakota legislature a prop
osition that they cannot overcome.
Our people will no longer be the
dumping ground for the oil that has
been legislatcd out of other states.
The indignation of the people is spo
great to be appeased with. anything
short of the most exacting and far
reaching measure.

CURRENT EVENTS.
Church Growth I'm o b

Rev. DIR. III. X. Carroll, who was in
charge of the religious data of the United
States census of 1880, publishes the stats
tics of the growth of the churches Of this
country in 1901. Religious statistics are
always interesting, though always more
or less unsatisfying to h different
denominations. To thoughtful people
the figures are more interesting for what
they suggest than because of the bare
statements made. In general they par
take of the uncertainty of all statistics,
because of their incompieteness.

is a correct statement of the principal
religious bodies in the United States al

WINE AND WATER.
A simple AattIe Trick Mt nee Eff
fecsiye and Mysterious.


Here is a trick that is always effec-
tive, and. while it Is very simple In
deed, still 1t Is bound to appear just a
wee bit mysterious, and many, espe-
cially your little brothers and sisters,
will be unable TO explain 1t.
Take two ordinary claret glasses and
I'll n to the brim with claret and the
other equally full with clear water.
Cover the top OF the glass containing
water with an ordinary visiting card
SO that there are no places around the
edge uncovered by the card. Turn the
glass upside down and place it on the
top Of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges
meet exactly all the way around.
Now move the card slightly to one
side so that there will be a little space
at one re Of the glasses inside uncov-
cred by a card. At once a thin stream
Of claret will begin to rise through this
space, not mixing with the water at
all, but its edges clear and sharply de-
fined. The water, too, win begin TO de-
scend into the glass containing the
claret, a pure. glistening white stream
against the rudy red.
The stream Of claret, too, rising
through the sparkling white Of the wa
ter presents a beautiful effect, and in q
moment the claret will begin to spread
about the top of the upper glass like
the unfolding Of a red rose and the wa
ter will spread In the bottom of the
lower glass. The two fluids will not
mix. but will present a delightful con-
trast of red and white with sharply de-
fined edges.
In a very short time the claret and
water will have changed places, the
claret being in the upper glass and the
water in the lower. This is due to the
difference In weight OF the liquids; wa
ter, being the heavier, forces itself into
the lower glass, and a portion of the
claret is moved up TO take the place Of
the descending water.-New York Her
