now have safes in them: not necessarily
to keep money in. for church funds are

Not Now.

This paper is very glad to be count
ed among those that favor tariff re-
vision. The tariff schedules ought
to be revised from time to time. They
always have been and always will be,
unlesst the party that believes in the
tariff goes to sleep and dies in his own
tracks. Progress means changes
changes in the tariff among others.
There is nothing in which this paper
believes more sincerely. But the Ques-
ton of the time and the manner are
important enough to be the essence of
the whole matter. In times like these,
of industrial prosperity on the one
hand and industrial uncertainty as to
the future on the other, it is better to
conserve than to tear up things
through agitations. Too many people
have become excited on this question
to permit calm action to be taken. The
tariff is too partisan and too fractional
a question now to permit business &C
ton to be taken. This strikes us as
a good time to wait and watch and
study.
We should not be surprised but
what a whole revision of the tarfff,
after the manner of the Dingley revi-
sion, ought to be made following
1904. The present tariff was.not made
for all time, but the principle under
lying the tariff is still sound.-Cedar

GEN. SloEL'S LAST DAYS.

In a letter of recent date-Oct- L
nicke Stillman of this city, lifelong
friend of the family. she describes the
declining days of her illustrious hus-
band as follows:
"As you know, during the past few
years he had become quite weak and
feeble, but was not ill, nor did he suf-
fer any pain; 1t was a gradual wasting
away of his strength and energy,
which was not surprising, considering
the Intellectually active and strenuous
life he had led. When, for the lack
of strength, he was unable to follow
his accustomed literary and other in
tellectual pursuits, he dropped them
one by one. apparently without regret.
Lately, he would read awhile. then
slumber awhile. What he seemed to
enjoy most was when 1 would talk
to him on all sorts of subjects, dis
cuss current topics. and busy myself
about him. He was supremely happy
when our daughter Leila was with
him. One of us always accompanied
him on his daily walks. When he was
too feeble to take these, we went driv-
ing with him.
He enjoyed the past summer SO
much, for the vicinity of our Bronx is

With Men Who Are Making Monay
II Carries Great Weight
1t IL not astonishing that the Demo
cratic leaders have been unable to in
terest the country In the so-called
issues upon which they are trying to
make the coming campaign They
found out, as the last session OF Con-
gress came to . close, that the "syndf-
cate OF vituperation" and the Boston
junta had failed to create any popular
dissatisfaction with the sane and
humane Philippine policy OF the adj
ministr1tfon. Their signal failure to
come to the assistance of the senators
who were trying to secure reciprocity
with Cuba made any criticism of the
party In power on that issue out OF
the question. and they turned in de-
spair to the trust and tarin questions.
The fact that they did not do 10 be-
fore shows that they realized the dim
Guilty of attacking the fiscal policy OF
the party under which the present
era of prosperity began There is
world of truth in the bald assertion
that the issue of the day is prosper
ity. The country looks for better
regulation of the trusts; there is .
growing sentiment in favor of q re-
duction of certain duties, but there is
no inclination to 5eopardize prosper
ity.
The bank deposits of the country
show, in some measure, what this
prosperity had been In 1898 they
amounted to $4.630. 49O, 156. and in 1897
to IS, 196, S47 $50, a gain of $3.50, 1857 ,374-
In 1901 they amounted to $685. ,053.-
1876, n gain of 50 33S. ZOE, 606. The DIFF
ference in the bank deposits OF the
country, at the beginning and end Of
four years Republican administration
was five times as great as 1t was at
the beginning and end of the preceding
Democratic administration Astute
Democratic politicians must have seen
that they could not hope to reduce,
much less overcome, the Republican
Congressional majority in the face
of such figures. This accounts for the
way in which they have taken to the
woods. They were looking for cover
long before Congress adjourned, leav-
ing the caIlow orators from Tennessee
and Colorado to wrestle with defeat.

of some astounding blunder, or the
Democratic party undergoes regenera-
ton, the people will be willing to heed
