As 10 rARlEE REvsIoN.

Adyices from Washington indicate that the
revision of the tariff viii be one of the
most important, and probably the most i'm.
portant matter the Fifty-eighth congress
win be called on to consider.
There are sound reasons for the belief
that bitter fight viii be waged between
the reviaionists and the antl-revisionists. and
( looks now as if the contest might be be.
tween the democrats and the Western re-
publicans on one side and the Eastern re-
publicans on the other.
While the result Is problematical, one
who predicts that no revising viii be done
by the next congress will probably find that
his prediction will be fulfilled At least that
opinion is warranted by the present con.
iition of affairs. Politics Is uncertain at
The best, and IN cases like this, when the
issue is so involved and the futures of sd
many politicians are at stake, the wise man
will refrain from making predictions, and
will content himself with doing everything
In his power to bring about the result he
wants brought about
According to recent dispatch from The
Post's Washington correspondent, Senator
Scott Of West Virginia and Representative
Butler Of Pennsylvania told the president
that the delegations from their respective
States were unaterably opposed to revision
and that ali attempts in that direction would
be fought TO the end. The congressman
from these two States alone could probably
prevent any changing Of the existing tariff
schedules, and IL is likely that they would
hsve the support OF numerous others They
would be opposed BY republicans from Iowa

The Sale Of Bitters.

(From the San Antonio Express
The action OF the State revenue agent in in
structng collectors to collect a liquor tax from
all druggists engaged in the sale Of patent medi-
cines which when used in excessive quantities,
may produce intoxication is displeasng to drug
gists and to the manufacturers OF proprietary
medicines
1t is probably safe to say that nearly all the
preparations sold under the head of "bitters'
or belonging to that class of proprietary nedi-
cines contain enough alcohol to produce intoxi-
cation by excessive use, but it does not follow
that because of that fact the proper use of medi-
cines should be practically inhibited without re-
gard to their remedial qualities.
The attorney general holds that the selling
OF any tincture or drug compound which is not
an intoxicating beverage prepared in evasion OF
the statutes or of the local option law does mot
subject the druggist who sells it to the payment
of the occupation tax, even though such tincture
or drug compound be capable of producing in
toxication. The United States collects no in
ternal revenue for the sale of these medicines
stringent its revenue laws and vigorously
as they are enforced Yet it is not To he
doubted that the internal revenue agents would
promptly swoop down upon any druggist who
was found dealing in a preparation OF any sort
which was disguised to evade the statutes Federal
or State, in reference to the sale OF Intoxicating
liquors.
. It is not to be assumed that the purpose OF the
State revenue agent is to hinder or restrict the
sale by druggists Of medicines which are in
tended TO relieve sickness or to cure any OF the
ills to which flesh is heir simply because their
excessive use might produce ntoxcation; nor
is It his purpose to transform all the drug stores
in the State into liquor saloons by compelling
them to take out liquor license. If there ARE
quaek medicines prepared especially to evade The
revenue laws and to cheat the tax collector tbe1
may be singled out and their sale regulated IN

ment to JiGfranchise the ignorant negro
vgrsv
1t seems that he wants to eliminate the
negro from republican councils and yet pre-
serve him as a voter for the republican
ticket
Is this politics, or is it just plain tomfool-
ery2
II It is politics, it is past understanding
The Booker Washington dinner incident was
calculated to make the president solid with
the negroes. Then he airted with the con
trary element by making several appoint
ments of men identified with the movement
to make the Southern republican party
respectable" Next he would cut the
Southern negro out Of political conventions,
and now he disoiplnes those who favor dis
REIMBURSEMENT on educational grounds.
Quite as puzzling is his conduct viewed
from purely non-partisan standpoint.
Either the ignorant and depraved negro
should vote or he should not If he should
it Is inconsistent to deny him participation
in party conventions. II he Is unworthy OF
participating in political conventions he is
unworthy to WELD the ballot in directing the
States or the nations affairs.
We are hound to conclude either that Mr.
Roosevelt is wise beyond the comprehension
of ordinary mortals, or that he is playing
hit or miss with a problem about which he
knows nothing whatever
1t may he conceded that he has righteous
impulses and that he would like to 90 down
in history as a president bigger than his
party. Occasionally he shows a disposition
to break away from the trust influences that
surround him, but his proposals of relief
are so unsubstantial that the trusts do not
take him seriously The same negative eli
feet follows his declarations about reciproci
ty and tariff reform
Indeed, his conduct in respect to public
matters is merely spectacular He plays
down to the front OF the stage in a sort OF
continuous performance which never quite
gets to the point OF realism
He is constantly hourshing an unloaded
gun, and II it should happen to 60 off and
ait something he would probably plead that
ne didn't mean it.

and other Western States who made their
campaigns largely on the tariff issue and
who are pledged to do everything possible
to bring about a revision. The democrats
will naturally be in favor of revision and
will try to have the present duties decreased
wherever possible, but it remains to be seen
whether they will be able to act with the
pro-revision element among the republicans
without danger of becoming involved In
some republican scheme calculated TO in
terfere with the real object Of the move
ment-the diminishing Of the burden on the
people,
A case of this sort was in evidence dur
ing the last session of congress when q large
majority of the democrats in the hoUse acted
with the republicans who opposed the re-
duction of the tariff on Cuban sugar Inas-
much as a reduction of the tariff would un-
der ordinary circumstances seem to be a
forward step toward the freer trade policies
advocated by most democrats, it might have
appeared that the democratic congressman
should have supported that faction of the
republicans which was urging reduction Of
the duty. But before the movement had pro.
crossed beyond its initial stages 1t was
shown that one of the main purposes Of the
reciprocity bill was to aid the sugar trust.
which, because it is the principal and prac-
tically the only American buyer of Cuban
sugar would have received all the benefit
expected to result from a reduction of exist
ing rates. Therefore the democrats took the
position that if the reciprocity bill was
passed it should include clause abollshing
| the differenual on refined sugar. This
forced the hands of the republicans. all of
whom despite their differences, wished to
protect the trusts, and the result was that
the whole matter was allowed to go by
default, to be taken up, perhaps, at the next
session of the same congress.
Conditions somewhat like these may be
in evidence when the Fifty-eighth congress
tackles the revision matter. 1t is barely pos.
sibe. although hardly probable, that the
democrats and the revisionists might score a
victory by pooling their interests and work
ing together against the common enemy. the
antirevisionists. But, as has been said be
fore, there is so much chance of republican
teachery and so much liability of all the
/ credit being given to the republicans in case
/ revision is effected, that it behooves the
democrats to be unusually watchful and tc
see that no undue advantage is given theii
political opponents.
The statement that the president is IL
favor of revision adds interests to the situa
ton. II this be true it insures contes
which viii probav4y be even more exciting
than was the SIGHT over Cuban reclprocit.

giving up their homes and living in hotels
and apartment houses, and in numerous other
ways. For the poor people no such alter
natives are at hand.
The people of New York city elected six
teen democratic congressman out of a total
of eighteen, and gave an overwhelming
plurality for the democratic candidate for
governor, thus showing that they were not
fooled and misled by the talk about the strike
having been settled by the republican
president Before the winter is over the
people of other cities and other States will
doubtless have cause to regret that they
did not follow the example of the voters of
the metropolis. The republican leaders will
no doubt make a strenuous attempt to con
vince the country that republican policies
are in no wise responsible for the coal
scarcity, but it SCENE hard to believe that
the public will allow itself to be taken in
twice in succession by the same trick.
In other words, there seems reason to
believe that the coal strike may cut some
thing Of a figure in the National campaign
two years hence.

COAL SHORTAGE AND ITS Posi-

BLE Err &c I ).
Reliable advices from New York indicate
that despite President Roosevolts settle
ment' Of the strike it will be Impossible for
the people of that section to obtain full
supplies of coal during the present winter.
The price OF hard coal has been decreased
TO $3.50 per ton by the New York dealers,
but even at chat price there is none to be
had and much actual suffering is expected to
result from the action OF the authorities in
New York and other cities in forbidding the
use of soft coal after specified date, which
in most cases Is III the immediate future
How will this condition of affairs be ex.
planned by the president and the republican
politicians who have been attempting to
make all the capital possible out of the
settlement of the coal strike?
OF what possible advantage can a reduced
price Of $3.50 be when hard coal is not to
lie had at any figure?
Shortly after the appointment Of the ar.
biuation commission The Post called at
tention editorially to the fact that the sup.
ply of coal this winter could not possibly
