PICTURESQUE BRITTANY.
A Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.

Brittany is a land where the peasants
till the earth in zouave trousers, torea-
dor jackets covered with arabesque
embroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines Of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great medici collars and colts that tiut-
ter about their heads like the wings Of
doves. From beneath the points o!
their black caps the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
Of animals.
These people live in houses built of
sculptured granite and sleep in open
work closets carved likethe mouchara-
bieks of Egypt.
In spite of the Breton Interiors" and
Returns Of the Fishermen with
which painters swamp the market this
race Is still unknown or misunder-
stood, for they should be seen not in
paintings, but in their homes. In their
old time streets, on market days and
when. in fair time. the tents are pitched
in the village market places.
Fiery little horses draw to market
fish. fine vegetables and all the early
produce Of RoscOff. They are spread
out upon the sidewalk. Chickens
cackle; goats bIeat: pigs. tied by the
leg, strain toward the vegeta bles. sniff
ing at the fresh greens.
Farmers in sabOts. carrying grea.

the two ribbons Of their felt bats float

among the Oman china displayed or

cider jugs and plates covered with
painted flowers and grotesque' figures.
The peasants converse with but few
gestures: they bargain In guttera'
tones.
These taciturn people forget them
selves in the barrooms on fair days.
The taverns are full OF noise; You
may hear the sound Of an ac,'0rdiOn
and the plaintve note OF the biuiou IA
sort Of bagpipe,. leading monotolsous
dances.
Into the harb0r come boats laden
with fish: other boats 60 out The
dshermen are full of business. Next
week will occur the departure for the
new country There are women who
weep.
Above all this agitation the smoke OF

ducing trusts he is ON the side of the
trusts as uncompromisingly as any
of them.
The situation is described by cor
respondent reporting the conference
at the white house last Saturday
when he says: 1T was agreed that
the war revenue act should be put
through both branches of congress
and should be supplemented by the
Cuban reciprocity measure. but in
such manner as to prevent any gen
eral debate or Legislative action OF
any kind on the Babcock bill and
similar schemes involving general
tariff revision" To this gag pro-
gramme the president seems to have
offered no objection.
just the same. it amounts to n
confession that the beneficiaries of
Dingley duties are~afraid of discus
sion. They and their attorneys in
congress are determined to prevent
if possible the exposure in debate of
the fact that they uphold n system
which enables the trusts to sell their
products at far higher prices to their
own countrymen than to Foreigners.
1t seems TO be the idea of these
men that the people will stand this
imposition very cheerfulIy provided
il is not exposed ON the floor of con-
gress
The house leaders. however. go
even further than this and virtually
admit that they are unwilling to
make any concession whatever in the
direction of commercial liberty. be-
cause they know that liberty would
promote the general welfare. and
they are afraid To give the people n
taste of it lest thy should want more
and insist on breaking up the nests
of all the tariff birds of prey.
As the correspondents of one repub-
1ican organ puts il: They do not
want any reciprocity with Cuba be-
cause they fear il will succeed so
well as To create still greater sen
timent for general reciprocity"
Which means they fear il viii create
a demand for general commercial
liberty.
The president seems 10 fear the
same thing, but he is willing for po-
liticab reasons to take the chances
of a little more liberty in our trade
with Cuba.
When the attorneys for the pro-
tectees in congress admit that they
are afraid OF even a little more lib
erty. affecting our trade with only
one island with a population of less
than 2.OOO.OOO. they admit that lib
erty would promote the best inter
ests of all. The people will hardly
fail to see the significance of the adj
mission and proceed to help them
selves literally when the opportunity
is presented TO send representatives
of themslvs rathr than Of tn indus
trial trusts TO Washington.

schIey Case Changed i'm No Particu.


The presidents disposition of the
Schley case Will occasion disappoint-
ment if not surprise. While he has
shown his wonderful capacity for ar
duous undertakings in the manner i'm
which he has gone through the
mass of testimony that entered into
the case. and has sought 10 give a
measure of Justice that may
have heretofore been overlooked in
part in the distribution OF the honors
of the victory among the captains of
the fleet. his general conclusions do
not meet with public approval. This
* the source of disappointment. but
it can hardly be said that after the
care that has been taken by Secre-
tary Long to set forth the position
of the late President Mckinley in the
matter. ii is surprising that
President Roosevelt should have hes
itated To repudiate the stand taken
by his Iamented predecessor. Cen
orally summed up. President Roose-
welt has not changed the official
status of the case. and on the other
hand he has not changed the con-
census of public opinion as far as
the question of actual merit Is con-
cerned.
Viewing the matter from every
standpoint il is not strange that the
president should be particularly anN-
ious to have the whole affair dropped
and forgotten.
