HAD A NICE srATERoom.

The Young Women In the Hotel
Thought They Were Aboard Ship.
The experiences of the hotel clerk
ire varied, but it is seldom that he has
to deal with a proposition like that
which befell Richard Munsche of the
Republican house in Milwaukee during
one of the foggy nights last fall
The atmosphere was so thick that
the train on the Wisconsin Central
railway was delayed some two hours
Among the passengers that arrived in
Milwaukee were two women, who de-
sired to take the Pere Marquette
steamer for the other side of the lake
They announced their intention to the
busman, climbed into his vehicle with
the other passengers and were driven
to the Republican house. The fog had
settled down over the building aud
nothing but the lower lights could be
seen a-burning." They followed the
other travellers into the house, were
given rooms and went to them. Later
says the Milwaukee Sentinel, one OF
the women appeared on the stairway
just back of the gentlemanly clerk and
said:
THAT is a real nice stateroom you
have given us. 1t is by far the best
1 have ever had. But when does this
boat leave for Manistee?''
when does this boat leave for Man
istee?' repeated the clerk. This is
not a steamboat, madam; this is no
tel
This is not steamboat! Why we
told the omnibus man to take us to the
dock, and supposed he had done SO
Have we time to catch the boat now?'
NO. it left half an hour ago"
''Well. this is a joke on us. We
| shall have to stay in our 'stateroom
on land until the boat leaves to-mor-

One Consumer.

1t is shrewdly suspected that when
Mr.. Hamemeyer states that removal
of the duty on raw sugar would result
in a saving to the consumer of $685.
900 900 a year, the trust magnate has
reference to one consumer only, the
American Sugar Refining company.
The Sugar Trust is practically the only
consumer of raw sugar imported into
the United States, and there is the
best of reason for believing that this
one consumer would get the lions
share, if not the entire amount, of
the saving of $S5, ZOO, 900. Confirmation
of this belief is at least suggested by
the fact that nobody has heard Have
meyer urge the removal or the reduc-
ton of the duty on refined sugar.
That's different

He Has succeeded.

On the curious plea that if the Re

vocates the opening up of the question
of tariff revision at the present session
of congress. Why stop at tariff re-
vision? Why not urge the repeal of
the Dingley law as whole, on the
plea that the Democrats would do it
if they had the power? To do things
that the enemy wants done, lest the
enemy himself undertake to do it and
thereby gain all the advantage, is a
queer doctrine in practical politics and
practical craftsmanship. Political ad-
vantages have not usually been gained
that way or retained that way by
the party in power. Mr.. Roberts evil

are just numerous enough to attract
some attention when they make fool

Where Danger Lies.

There is no danger to America in
the retaliatory amendment to the Ger
man tariff modelled after our own tariff
law. This provision is aimed only
at Determinations, and the United
States tariff does not discriminate. 1t
differs from almost all other tariffs
in the world in having uniform rate
for goods from all foreign countries,
save. indeed, those with which reci-
procity agreements exist. Moreover
considering the high wages which it
protects, our American tariff is very
much less rigorous than that of most
Continental nations.-Boston journal.
Danger begins when we leave the
safe anchorage of tariff laws under
which all the world is treated exactly
alike, and embark upon the unchar-
tered sea of reciprocity treaties which
favor one nation at the expense of an
other. and SO provoke ill-will and re-
taliation.

OF Mr.. Cleveland, is to tell the truth "
and the truth is that Mr.. Oxnard wrote
that circular for the purpose of selling
stock in sugar factories. That explains
the matter quite sufficiently. Besides.
Mr.. Oxnard does not claim that the
profit under free trade is sufficient to
compensate both factory men and
beet growers, but only that the factory
men absorb it all. What the country
demands is some profit for the farm
ers, which free trade prices will not
give-San Francisco Chronicle.

Must Wait for Army Register.

Although the war department has
completed its arrangement of the lin
cal rank of first lieutenants of cav
airy and infantry, the secretary of war
has decided that no announcement
will be made of the same pending the
publication of the annual Army
Register. The Register will be late
inappearing this year, as there are
still many officers to be appointed and
examined under the provisions of the
act of February 2, 1901. Secretary
Root has ordered, however, that all
examinations of officers entering the
army under this act be completed by
the last day in January, SO that the
prospects are that the Register will APP
pear toward the latter part of February
or the beginning of March.

the way to business, during which
walk most of the problems of the day
can be solved, thus leaving the mind
free for detail work The lunch should,
in my opinion, be light and nourish-
ing. The ordinary business lunch is
heavy and unwholesome. In the even
ing, when the days labor is over, the
days worries should be completely
forgotten. Easy to say, you reply
Yes, and easy to do, il you stick to a
healthy habit of life and regular bust
ness habit Part of the way home. at

With the Veterans.

Twas Yankee Doodle went to war
To fight the British lion,
With fiintlock rifle in his hand
And hemp his horn to tie on
The boasting Hessians laughed tc
scorn,
Though bought with English Doodle
To find at Concord, Lexington,
The grit of Yankee Doodle.
CHORUS.
This Yankee Doodle kept it up
With gun and powder handy,
And made the redcoats dance the step
To Yankee Doodle Dandy"
The lion sprang upon his prey,
At Bunker Hill and Trenton,
And furious bristled name and tail,
Twas frightful how he went on
Said Yankee Doodle, Better dry
Your pesky takin' on so;
I'll punt saltpeter in your eye
And give your tail twist or
At Princeton. too, and Bennington,
At Fort Ticonderoga,
The bloody Hessians bit the dust,
And next at Saratoga
For Yankee Doodle picked his flint,
And fired such tarnal powder,
The critter lost the 'tother eye
And growled with rage the louder.
At Eutaw Springs he clipped his tail,
To Yorktown then pursued him,
From start to finish whipped him out,
Politely hacked and hewed him.
So sneaking back to tory land,
AS sullen as clam, sir,
With Yankee Doodle did lie down,
The Lion and the Lamb, sir.
