indeed in strange dilemma! lido not know
how to reply to your letter
l shall, of course, be delighted if you will

oblivion.

LETTER V

Dec. 80, l90O.-Dear Miss Violet: have
terrible confession to make to you. When
| received your letter l put it unopened in
my pocket intending to read it at lunch
time. l was, however, so busy all the morn
ing that | could not find minute in which
to read it. On returning home l searched
through my pockets, only to discover that
the letter had disappeared. I must have
pulled it out with my handkerchief and
dropped it in the street.
l cannot sufficiently apologize for my care
lessness. 1t was, You may imagine, a great
annoyance to me, as | was extremely anx-
lous to know its contents, and whether
must be condemned to sign myself eternally
only, yours sincerely,

DEMOCRATIC FARMER TURNS.
Lifelong Party-Worker in Illinois
Joins the Republicans and
Gives Reasons.

w. T. Bucks, of Galatia, ILL.,, farmer
and lifelong democrat, and for num-
Der of years prominent as worker in
the party in Saline county, has severed
his connection with the party and will
hereafter affiliate with the republic
ans. In explanation of this move, says
a special dispatch to the Chicag Inter
Ocean, Mr.. Bucks says:
"My reason for severing my connec-
ton with the democratic party is be-
cause as q farmer have noted the diff
ference in prices between democratic
and republican administrations, which,
it seems to me, would convince any
farmer that therepublicana administers
ton IS far better for him. So long as
the republicans run this government as
they now are, l am with them, first,
last and always.
There are some of my democratic
friends who will say that the scarcity
of crops the past year raised the price.
This is true as far as it goes, but had it,
not been for the republican protective
tariff law the foreign countries would
have supplied this shortage at low
price, and as matter of fact we would
have had to sell our farm products at
the same figure, no matter how scarce
our crops, and as consequence we
would have starved. But the tariff law
shuts out foreign competition, and
when our crops are short the prices
rise sufficiently to carry the farmer
over another season. No, sir; no more
democracy for me-"

The kodak trust is the latest in

would seek reelection he should
not overlook this last combination

THE state board of control is get
ting good in it's old age, having
granted to all state employees vol
untary raise in salaries of 10 per
cent. The additional cost to the
state will exceed $4,000. The cause
of the raise is assigned to the in
creased cost of llving-not to the
coming campaign and the POSSIBLE
ty of desire to raise campaign
fund through the assessment plan.
IT is estimated that the Boer war
has cost Great Britain to date, in

Phelps, of Duluth, has written an
explicit opinion relative to the acts
of the former village council of Hib-

of village money on leased property
in connection with the famous viii
lage park deal. The opinion, as
published in The Mesaba Ore, is not
very flattering to the judgment of
the former village authorities, and
may result in an action on the part
of the village to recover the money
thus expended.

When congress adjourned the sen.
ate stood: Republicans, So; Demo-
Gratis and other opposition, 80. Mary.
land and Kentucky have already in.
creased the opposition to SO. Mr..
Newlands (DemocraD seems likely
to succeed MIR. Jones (Republican)
from Nevada. The Democrats also
hope to gain the North Carolina seat
now held by Mr.. Pritchard, though
their success is by no means con.
coded.
On the other hand, the Republicans
consider well nigh certain their
chances of gaining the seats of Har.
ris Democrat.PopuisD of Kansas
and of Turner (FusionisO of Wash
lngton. In the remaining states no
change sufficient TO alter their repre-
sentation in the senate Is really ex-
pected by either party.
Balancing these hopes of gains on
either side, and passing over the Della
ware vacancies as an insoluble puz-
zle. it may safely be predicted that
tho senate in the fifty.eighth congress
will stand about "a opposition to
about "a Republican.
The probable division Of the next
house Is much more difficult to esti.
mate. The reapportionments made
necessary by its increase Of member
ship from 357 to 1856 have disturbed
old political affiliations in many states
and compelled reconstruction Of local
machinery. These charges are likely
to alter the representation of mum.
Der Of districts, but. as they affect
both parties, do not seem likely to
have much effect on the general re-
suit

house stood: Republicans, 1879; Demo
Gratis and other opposition. 1852; va
cancies 6. Experience has shown
that in "off years" the opposition has
slightly better chance to gain con-
troll of the house. The Democrats
will doubtless gain districts there So
will The Republicans. The question
is which will make the larger gains,
and whether the Democratic gains
will be enough to give a majority in
the house.
There is really no reason why the
Democrats should control the next
house, That party has been able to
find no issue and no leader that
seems likely to change the opinions
OF any great numbers of voters or to
remove public distrust Of the Democ.

Plea for IariH Reductions.

There are mossback Republicans as
well as mossback Democrats, and Con
gressmen Hopkins and Mann showed
that they belonged to that category in
their recent speeches. In contrast to
those purely conventional partisan
harangues is the address which was
made at Jamaica Plain by Eugene N.
Foss. Republican candidate for Con.
gress from the Eleventh Massachu.
sets district. and it is vastly more
interesting and significant.
While Mr.. Foss is Republican not
only by profession but by the faith
that is revealed in much of his reason.
ing, he realizes that the idea of the
invlolability of the Dingley bill or any
other tariff law is absurd, and he is
practical enough not only to recog-
nize current facts but to understand
their true bearing upon government
policies.
His general plea is that New Eng.
land needs free raw material. That
may be a sectional plea, but there is
no doubt that he makes 1t strong of
its kind. and just now there will be
a pretty widespread sympathy for the
New England demand for untaxed coal
from Nova Scotia. Though there is
no tariff on anthracite and this fuel Is
bituminous, 1t is Of quality to relieve
the market when the importation OF
anthracite is out of the question. A
tariff on 1t Is unquestionably tax on
New Engiand's industries and direct
encouragement to American coal
trusts. which do not need protection.
And Mr.. Foss urges with good rea.
son that the question of necessity is
the prime question to be considered
when section is pitted against section

TARIFF is THE ISSUE
PRESIDENT nc OSEvELT BE.
LIEvEO TO FAVOR REVISION.
"The Iowa Idea" Has Many Supporters
!, In the Industrial Centers Of the East
Subject Is One That Cannot Be
Ignored.

According to interesting and inner.
emily probable reports, President
Roosevelt will sound the keynote of
tariff revision in his western speeches.
His sympathies, there can be no doubt,
are with the reformers--with the au-
thors OF the Iowa idea," and the
courageous and progressive minority.
Tariff revision is spoken Of as a
western Issue, but there is consider
able evidence that the Iowa idea" Is
quite popular in the industrial centers
of the East. Even Rhode Island and
Connecticut have been infected or af.
fected by it, and the proposition to
lower the tariff On goods controlled by
powerful combinations is meeting
with favor among the xageworkers of
the very citadel of high protection.
The timid and time-serving politicians
have been advising the president to
taboo the tariff issue, but the com.
ments of the press upon his trust pro-
gram must have convinced him that
the subject could not be ignored. How
refreshing and inspiring presidential
utterance in favor of the Iowa idea, as
honestly and intelligently interpreted
by Gov. Cummins, would be, and what
a marvellous impetus 1t would impart
to the movement for freer trade and
a modern commercial policy!
Mr.. Roosevelt has been criticised In
Democratic and Independent papers
Tor his silence on the tariff question,
especially in its relation to the trust
evils he had been so vigorously con.
demning. OF course, in so far as these
structures implied doubt as to Mr..
Roosevelts courage and sincerity, ref
utation of them would be a work of
supererogation. The whole course of
the administration bellies and disposes
of such insinuations. The president
believes in determining what is right
In given case and then going ahead"
and defending the right against all
opponents, The tariff question is
complex one, but the conclusions Mr..
Roosevelt will finally reach may con.
hdently be indicated in advance. He
will eventually be found on the Buff
falo platform" and in full accord with
the best and soundest thought of the
Republican party To a program of
tariff revision there will be no such
opposition as his trust proposals have
rovoked.-Chicago Tribune.
