HEARD IN PASSING

Senator Platt of Connecticut staunch protectionist, says that fest- sonable tariff concessions to Cuba would not apprecialby injure any American industry. Republicans wno are finding Schisms in the democratic party are hereby reminded of the par able of the mote and the beam.
 The greatest difficulty in bringing about government ownership III thls country will not be the purchase or railway and telegraph lines at q far appraisal, but the buying Up of all sorts of watered stock at par. Government ownership will strike very bad bar gain unless it is piloted wisely
 Fishes are commonly sold dead, as they do not live long after they are taken out of their element. Goldfish are an exception, as they live for some hours out of water. The fishing schooners have wells where they keep their catch, and when coming home from the fishing grounds are careful to avoid floating ice lest the fish freeze. It is not an uncommon sight to see codfish alive in Fulton market, New York, that have come all the way from Newfoundland banks, part of the trip having been made in specially constructed tank cars.
 As a straw that tells which way the wind blows it is significant that in Speaker Henderson's own district it is probable that his reelection will be contested by, ex-Governor Boies. This will bring together the champions of the fixed purpose of the republican party which will permit no revision of the tariff and of the sentiment that stands for q general overhauling and uprooting of the pernicious protective system. Iowa shows that there are even republican demands for tariff re- vision in order that some of the bur dens on the consumer may be removed.

The Indian government has just is sued a bulletin that shows that the next years wheat crop will not equal the yield of the last season, which was a prolific one. The crop will be de- ficient, but 1t is not thought to be seri- ous enough to bring about famine con- ditions. In past years it was claimed that the lack of transportation facili- ties was responsible for famine suffer- ing, but now the claim is that there is not sufficient area under cultivation to provide for India's teeming millions, and extensive irrigation is urged.

inently mentioned in connection with the position. A bill for the creation Cf the department has been introduced by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota. There seems 10 be no doubt of it's pas sage by both houses of the present congress. Mir. Merriam's work as head of the census bureau has famil- iarized him with the commercial and industrial conditions of the country, and by reason of this he is peculiarly fit for the discharge of the duties of the proposed department. MT. Merriam is alert in his business methods, and bu his strict integrity he has personal following which makes him strong factor in his party. The president, says Leslie's Weekly, is said to be favor able to MT.
