Senator Babcock of Wisconsin finds
himself upon the horns of dilemma.
He has just been reelected chairman
of the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee, and the majority of
his party in Congress is opposed to a
revision of the tariff. It will, there
fore, be his duty to conduct a con-
gressional campaign along high pro-
tective tariff lines. Nevertheless the
Republican county convention of Mr..
Babcock's home county the other day
adopted strong resolutions in favor of
the abolition of the tariff on iron and
steel products. The resolutions, fur
thermore, urge that the entire tariff
question be gone into, and that all
tariffs which do not aid the laboring
and farming classes be cut down or
wiped out entirely. The district has
heretofore been strong for protection.
Mr.. Babeock, therefore, finds himself
between a demand for revision at home
and demand for no revision else
where. The tariff question is going to
cut an important figure in the next
election.

But, Senator. Burrows will fight this
bill so hard that you can't hope to get
it through" said timorous follower of
the administration policy with regard
to the Cuban tariff bill to Senator
Hanna, who in this matter is support
ing the President to the last ditch, says
a Washington paper.
ooh, that's nothing to get alarmed
at" answered the Ohioan; ''it merely
shows Burrows ability to get onto the
wrong side of big question"
"Ah! But. Senator, he will fight it to
the last moment answered the fear
full one. For about thirty seconds the
man who had the nerve to push the
subsidy bill through the Senate looked
at the man who had so many fears
with regard to the Michigan senator,
and then he said:

you ever know Burrows to be outside

the last moment comes he always goes

Any observant citizen knows that II
a man were TO stop on Broadway dur
ing the noon hour and look intently
towards the sky, he would presently
be led away by the police, charged
with collecting a crowd, says the New
York Post. This is curious bit OF
human nature which we merely smile
about here in the East. but out in In
diana, where almost everything has
do with elections or offices, they have
turned it to political use. A worthy
son of Indiana was a candidate for
Office. and was announced to speak
oil a certain evening in a certain town.
There was in that town voter who
despised the candidate and wished
him harm, but the voter, for reasons of
his own, did not dare to speak his ha-
tired openly. Therefore he attended
the meeting which the candidate was
TO address. At the proper moment,
when the candidate was adjusting his
waistcoat, after being introduced the
voter began to yawn. not audibly. but
so violently that many in the vicinity
observed him. Soon others yawned,
and rapidly and widely through the
hall the infection spread. OF course.
when the men and women in the au-
dience found themselves yawning,
they supposed that they were bored,
and the speaker was blamed for it.
Thus il was that the man who despis-
ed the candidate went home happy.

Poked Fun ut senator Penrose.

Senator Foraker and Senator Penrose
had a short wordy tilt during a speech
of the former which gave the Ohio man
a chance to poke fun at Pennsylvania,
says the Washington Times. Senator
Foraker had asserted that the courts
have decided that no Chinese, except
labOrers may be excluded under the
present law, and he had alluded to a
decision of the Supreme Court.
Senator Penrose. suggested that the
Fifty-seventh Federal Reports contain
d different decision.
Yes said Mr.. PenroSe, but long
subsequent to the Fifty-seventh Fed
eral Reports the Supreme Court decid-
ed as l have said. That old report is
not modern law"
Then he told his story.
THE Senator from Pennsylvania re-
minds me of the man who was going
around gathering up last years alma
macs and calendars.
What can you do with those?" some
one asked him.
'Why~I intend to sell them in Phil
adelphia,' he said

beef trust in very effectual way.
Members of these organizations have
pledged themselves to eat no beef as

is. But suppose the meat trust should

also? 1t is reported from Philadelphia
that the trust is making a move in that

there was corner in the egg market
a few months ago, showing that that

until the newcomer was ahead of the
game not less than $4,000. Then a
watch was put on him. and it was
ascertained that regularly he hypno-

game was opened. Thus it was no
trouble at all for him to make his
dupes see straights and fulls. and

and low cards in their own. Finding
that his scheme had been discovered,

vice-that designations need not be held
back for fear of embarrassing the

Don Francisco de Assis, who died in
France the other day, was formerly
King of Spain, but was expelled from
that country nearly thirty-four years
ago. Of recent years he had been
practically lost to sight among Euro

Isabella and Francis that made the oc-
casion that led to the war between
Germany and France in 1870. and it
was Isabella and her ministers that

to purchase Cuba for $780, 100000 The

The Texas newspapers are nightly

to the effect that that state has at
least two men in Congress who are
of presidential size, namely, Senators
Bailey and Culberson. These are
proud days for Texas in the national

commenting on the matter. 1t may be
doubted, however, that the time is yet
ripe for the nomination of a Southern
man at the head of the national ticket.
Sectional feeling has about passed
away, but the nomination of a South
erner might tend to revive it in some
sections of the North and West. and
that would be bad. Ten years hence,
in all probability, there will be no such

Are our university law schools
over-educating their students? Justice
Hatch of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court of New York says they
are. He says that the university law
yers are usually admitted to the bar
at about the age9of thirty, when. in
stead of being. merely at the beginning.
they should be well advanced in their
practice. And when they are admitted
They are so full of theory that it takes
many hard rubs before they are able
to begin The practical work of their
profession" The Justice asserted that
the man who was taken by the scruff
of the neck and thrown out into the
street was the man to climb up to
the most eminent places offered in the
law. THE best success of the bar to-
cay he said, lis evidenced by those
who have had the benefit of practical
experience and never saw the inside of

An interesting cenyehtion is to be
held in Decatur, Ala, shortly. 1t is
to be of fiddlers; not vioiinists. but
just fiddlers, of the good, old fashioned
sort The Montgomery Advertiser
says: There will be fddlers there who
never heard of a 'yirtuoso, and who
don't know the difference between a
staecato and a microbe; whose fiddles
wouldn't bring a dollar apiece at auc-
ton, but who can play Billy in the
Low Ground from bass to treble" And
in the matter of appreciative audi
diences they could discount all of the
'violinists" in the business. The old
fiddlers. will play because they love the
sound of their Instruments, and the
auditors will cheer, and perchance wipe
away a tear unobserved. because the
music will take them back to the sweet
days of childhood when the man who
could play Share 'um" and Cotton
Eyed Joe" was regarded as a greater
persoEage than any sceptered monarch.
The convention of the old fddlers may
not prove a feast of reason" but the
proverbial flow of soul" will be there.

refused to deliver the keys and plead

the Jail door was forced open with

improvement in the condition of win

damage has been done by heavy rains
