tire from office on January 1. He will be
succeeded by Jose. Yves Limantour, now
foreign minister Of Mexico.
1t isn't often that a South American
president marches into his capital in
triumph after a revolution. President
Castro is an exception. South American
chief executives usually head for Paris.
Thlrty-one huge and exceedingly strong
Havana cigars is the daily allowance OF
King Carlos Of Portugal, the biggest and
the latest of all the reigning monarchs
OF the world. His bulk is something colos-
sal.
Senator Hoar was showing some Massa-
chusetts visitors about Washington one day
and was pointing out a magnificent old
residence built years ago by a famous and
rather shady lawyer Of his time. why"
was asked, was he able to build a house
like that by his practice ?' Yes" replied
the senator, "by his practice and his prac-
tices."
When President Cleveland was in the
Union League club house, New York, the
other day a teamster drove up with a load
Of coal. but was told not to dump 1t until
after the former chief magistrate had
gone. 81 suppose I'll have to stand for
this" said the man, but. say It seems
funny after all that Teddy's been doing
to get the coal here"
At the dinner Of the Economic league
in Boston last week Charles Francis
Adams startled his listeners by declaring
that he was sorry the coal strike had
ended. Because" said he, I'VE would
then have been able to discover some sub
stitute for coal and / for one would have
been willing to suffer II by so doing we
could be released from the reign Of King
Anthracite"
Ex-Police Chief Devery of New York has
been offered several thousand dollars a
week to appear in a vaudeville show as a
"monologue artist" The enterprising
manager was careful not to make the
offer in person. 81 wish the fellow would
come TO me for his answer" growled the
ex-chief, folding up his vast fist and maxi
ing a suggestive movement with his still
more impressive foot.
1t is not generally known that ex-Gov-
ernor Frank S. Black. the triumphant
counsel in the Molineux case. is a former
newspaper man. After graduating from
Amherst he went to Troy. N. Y. where he
became a reporter on the old Wing and
also the Budget. In his spare moments he
studied law with ex-District Attorney Sam
Foster, who took a liking to the lad and
gave him a room in his house. After being
admitted to the bar his success was steady
and in recent years rapid.

on any proposed change in the charter.
Unless a conference between the delega-

the entire session, and Omaha will, as
usual, have a patched quilt charter for
two years longer.

y TALK OF TARnF REVISION.

Not until President R~oosevelt's annual
message is made public will the country
know definitely what his position is in
regard to tariff revision. What the
president has publicly said respecting
the tariff shows that he is opposed to
changes that might be detrimental to
labor and injurious TO the independent
industries. In one of his speeches he
said that the tariff rate must never fall
below that which will protect the Amer
lean workingman by allowing for the
difference between the general labor cost
here and abroad. He declared that lat
all hazards and no matter what else IS
sought for by changes of the tariff, the
American workman must be protected
in his standard Of wages and secured the
fullest opportunity Of employment. 1t
may be inferred from this that Mr..
Roosevelt is not u%nfavorable to some
modification Of the tariff. at least as to
certain schedules, but he is unmistak-
ably for the maintenance of the principle
of protection.
What can be very confidently predicted
is that the president will not attempt
to force tariff legislation, so that the
report that a special session Of the
Fifty-eighth congress will be called to
consider tariff revision may be dismissed
as groundless. This is a matter which
It is entirely safe to say Mr.. Roosevelt
will leave wholly to the determination Of
the republicans in congress, with only
such suggestions as may be necessary TO
~acquaint congress and the country with
the position of the administration. There
are many republicans who believe that
the tariff should be revised, all these,
however, favoring the maintenance Of
protection. There are many more who
are opposed to revision and the late
elections appear to have demonstrated
that these are in the majority. At all
events, the president is not likely to as
sumo to decide which of these elements
represents the sentiment regarding tariff
revision of a majority of the republican
party and least of all to attempt to force
action on the question.
What seems assured is that President
Roosevelt will recommend the appoint
ment by the present congress of commits
sion of experts to investigate the opera.
ton of the tariff and report to congress,
with suggestions of such changes as may
be deemed advisable. 1t is thought
probable that congress will authorize
such a commission and If 1t should
the investigation that would be required
of the commission would extend over a
year and perhaps longer. The question
which the president is understood to Ie
gard as most pressing is that of the
supervision and regulation of the great
combinations. In the event of there be
ing no legislation in regard to this al
the coming session 1t Is possible that
the Fifty-eighth congress might be called
in special session to take action or
the question. At all events, there II
not the slightest probability of a spe
cial session of the next congress to con
slider tariff revision.

PLAYING 4 HIGH-HANOED GAME.

1t was to have been expected that the
Broatch police commission would exert
all it's influence to carry out the revenges
of its maker, Governor Savage, who feels
very much aggrieved over the position
taken by The Bee on the BARLEY parole
and pardon. There is, however, no war
rant nor excuse for the attempt Of the
board to harass and damage the drug
gists and liquor dealers of Omaha, who
are compelled by the plain provision Of
the law to publish their applications for
licenses in the paper of largest circula-
ton in the county, which for more than
twenty years has beer The Omaha Even
ing Bee.
Under the decisions of the supreme
court the police board has no right to
designate any newspaper as the medlTn
for advertising applications for licenses.
Its authority in the premises is purely
judicial and limited to hearing testimony
in cases of remonstrance and determin-
ing whether the protest is sustained by
the proofs. But under the lead of
Broatch the board seems to be bent upon
law breaking instead of law enforce
ment, judging from the order issued Mt
its last meeting, which commands the
applicant for license, who had filed a
certified notice of publication in The
Evening Bee, to furnish the proofs that
he has published in the paper of largest
circulation. This is an unheard of pro-
ceeding, absolutely unwarranted in law
and contrary to its letter and spirit. The
statute relative to applications for Ii
censes reads as follows:
Nc action shall be taken upon such APP
'plication until at least two weeks notice
of the filing of the same has been given by
publication in a newspaper published In
said county having the largest circulation
therein, when II there be no objection in
writing made and filed to the issuance of
said license and the county board is in ses-
sion, and all other provisions of this chap
ter have been fully complied with, 1t may
be granted.
The only difference between the ordi-
nance under which the board is acting
anu NhAo SSNNioh VI hhN 'S NANN
the fire and police commission is sub
stituted for the county board. With
this specific direction before it, what
right has the board to require the appli-
cant to furnish proofs of circulation in
the absence of a written protest, and
how can the hoard go into a judicial in
v~estigation of relative circulation when
there is no remonstrance to act upon
and no right to subpoena witnesses or
enforce an order TO produce circulation
records? If the police board has a right
to ask for proofs on this score it would
have a right TO ask druggists and liquor
dealers to furnish proofs that they had
not sold liquor to minors or Indians oil
violated the Slocumb law in other re
spects.
Is not the board in duty bound TO rec
ognize the good faith of the applicant SC
long as no remonstrance has been filed,
Is not the action of the board a palpablt
attempt TO coerce druggists and liquor
dealers into submitting to an audaciou'

shipment of oats to foreign ports Puget
sound is second only to New York, that
in the shipments Of wheat for the nine
months ending with September it was
fourth among the ocean ports of the
country and hat in the shipments of
wheat flour Puget sound occupies fifth
place among American ocean ports.
Several circumstances have contrib

The heads of great educational insti-

Incorporate expressions in discussing
economic and industrial questions. Sci
ence and education ought to be receptive
to progressive movements. President
Eliot's inconsiderate ~denunciation Of or
ganized labor has aroused quick and
heated response, as it is inevitable that
all such expressions will. Nothing could
be more unfortunate than to have the
feeling grow up that there is a line of
antagonism between higher education
and interests of labor under modern con-
ditions.
