New1ands (DemocraD seems likely
to succeed Mr. 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

On the other hand, the Republicans
consider well nigh certain their
chances of gaining the seats of Har-
ris (Democrat-Polpulist) of Kansas
and of Turner (F7usionist) of Wash
ington. In the remaining states no

pected by either party
Balancing these hopes of gains on
either side, and passing over the Della

the senate in the fifty-eighth congress
will stand about "a opposition to
about 81 Republican.

Plea for Tariff Reductions.

There are mossback Republicans as
well 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 a 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
inviolabi1ity 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 it strong of
it's 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, it is of a quality to relieve
the market when the importation of
anthracite is out of the question. A
tariff on it is unquestionably a tax on
New Eng1and's industries and a direct
announcement 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
in the game of protection Does any
one mean to say he asks, that the
steel trust needs the same degree of
protection as when the iron and steel
business of the country was an infant
Industry" Manifest1y the purpose
now, when this concern is underbid-
ding foreign competitors everywhere,
is not to protect, but to mu1ct the
people.
Such g1aring facts cannot be ignored
and the wise Republicans are those
who, like Mr. FoSs and Gov Cummins,
keep their heads above the sand and
the rest of their anatomy in a proper
citation thereto.

Had Crazy Spells.

West Pembroke, Me. Sept. a.
The thirteen-year-o1dd daughter of Mrs
A L. Smith suffered with peculiar
afniction which her mother describes
as follows:
ut is two years now since she was
first taken with crazy spells.
4They kept on coming at intervals
and I could get nothing to do her any
good.
1.-The doctors gave me no encourage
ment- They all said they could not
help her.
THE crazy spell would last about
nine days, then she would be well
about nine days, but would eat very
little and was very yellow. Even the
whites OF her eyes were yellow.
Il heard that Dodd Kidney Pills
were a great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
after taking one box she was COM
p1ete1y restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. OF course we con
tinued to use the pills and she used
altogether five boxes last fall.
In March I thought I saw symp-
toms of the spells again and I got
six boxes of which she has taken
four, and is in splendid health
Her case was certainly a remark
able one and we are very thankful
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great
good they have done my daughter"

The Friend Of the Trees.

Politicians may disagree as to the public
virtues of ]. Sterling Morton, whose death
Is just reported. But those Americans who
love nature, who feel that the state owes
her debt and who believe in the possibility
of training the people to love her in turn
will agree that Mr.. Morton made high
mark for himself If only through his en-
couragement of tree planting. AS the au-
thor of "Arbor Day" he established a Gus
tom which with proper development may
solve one of the great problems of the
future. He inculcated into the farmers of
the country q respect for a growing tree
which few of them possessed before. He
demonstrated that tree culture is a prac-
tical necessity of the day, when all the
tendencies of modern industry and trade
are toward tree destruction. The public
conscience was unquestionably somewhat
smitten in regard to the wanton waste or
trees which the decades had Witnessed, and
1t required some such quickening touch as
the suggestion of Mr.. Morton to work re-
form That reform has only just begun
however, and it will need persistent work
by the tree lovers and the practical for
esters to keep alive the sentiment which
has already gone so far in works. There is
an essential difference between teaching
a social and a sentimental value combined.
and practically checking the devastation OF
waste. There must be system and law.
ArbOr Day will serve well the purpose of
keeping the sentiment for the trees alive.
1t will furnish the motive power perhaps of
a great national movement But without
laws and the cooperation of the men of
business whose interests now seem to lie in
the way of forest destruction that ceremonial
will not avail to any great extent in check
ing the devastation. Mr.. Morton was not
dreamer in this matter. He recognized that
the sentimental love of the tree would be OF
little worth without legal measures sus-
tanned by business interests. But with
hundreds of thousands of children annually
participating in tree-planting rites and
learning the lesson they teach, the enact
ment and execution of laws, far-seeing and
practical will surely result. Out of public
sentiment, created by just such means,
grow great works.

trust to explain why. Until such explana-
tion is forthcoming In satisfactory terms
the beef consumer will have reason to be-
lieve that the rise in live cattle prices is
artificial. for profit-makng purposes alone.
Such rise. followed by disproportionate
rise In the price Of dressed meats, Illus
trates the worst features of the trust sys-
tenn. especially in the case Of a combina-
ton controlling the entire supply of one
kind OF food. and a most important kind
at that. II there is anything in the claim
that the community reaps the benefit of
the trust by sharing in the saving effected
by the economy of combination, 1t surely
does not appear in this instance. 1t be-
hooves the defenders of this industrial prin-
ciple to take the case out of the hands Of
the beef packers now and after readjusting
the prices. demonstrate that trust is
honestly subject to the law of supply and
demand. that it can temperately consider
the public's rights under all circumstances,
and that it can put aside the temptation to
take advantage of natural conditions
which. under manipulation, might lead to
excessive profits.

Two Views of the Philippines.

Where shall we turn for the truth as to
the Philippine situation and the actors in
that difficult drama? Observe how widely
the doctors disagree.
Last week Mr.. Rawlins Of Utah. in his
place in the Senate, denounced General
Chaffee a disgrace to the country and
the flag. The language was probably the
strongest ever used in that body about
soldier of distinction wearing the American
uniform. 1t was based upon General Chat
fees conduct In the Philippines where,
since his return from China, he has been
in chief military command. Mr.. Rawlins
has been following matters at a distance
of seven thousand miles, but he speaks with
the confidence of man who cannot be
either mistaken or prejudced. In todays
dispatches we have the tribute of Acting
Governor Wright just paid at Manila to
the military under General Chaffee, and it
is of a very warm nature One gathers
from it that in Manila and elsewhere in the
archipelago General Chaffee is held in the
highest esteem. and surely the Americans
out there ought to know a good man when
they one.
As late as Saturday Mr. Carmack of Ten
nessee, in his place in the Senate, con-
cluded a speech devoted in the main to per-
mentary way suggesting something worth
the Senate's while. He has no hope of
peace in the Philippines while the Ameri-
cans remain. and he therefore urges scut-
tie. Like Mr.. Rawlins he has only words
of denunciation for the American COM
manders in the archipelago. In today's dis
patches We have the news that the princi-
pal insurgent chief and his forces in Samar
have submitted to the American authori-
ties, while in Mindanao the Moros are re-
ported as in greatly improved state of
mind, with war most improbable.
AS it Is urged that the reports from the
Philippines are all colored to suit the ad-
ministration purposes, may it not in reply
be urged that all of these criticisms of the
countrys representative and its policies in
the archipelago are colored to suit political
ends here at home? And isn't it rather
reckless campaigning to bespatter soldiers
OF long service and established character
with such terms of abuse as ordinarily are
employed to stir a ward mob against a
scuryy ward heeler? Leaving out of the
calculation the question of justice, is it
safe thus to disregard the question of pro-
portion? General Chaffee has no reply ex-
cept his services and his character But
when the country comes to consider his
case will they not be sufficient? If the
army is to be made a political asset this
year. 1t may turn out that the army has
some friends among the voters

Live Stock Statistics.

The statisticians, official and unofficial
continue to confound the beef trust 1t
has been shown that the price Of live cattle
has advanced in smaller proportion than
the price of dressed meats. 1t is now
shown by the treasury bureau Of statistics,
as disclosed in the news columns today,
that the live stock receipts at the five
leading markets of the interior during the
first quarter Of 1902 were larger by ls5, $40
head than during the same period in 1901,
and larger by 419,179 than in 1900. Thus 1t
appears conclusively that there is no real
foundation for the claim that the cattle
supply is less than In previous years. If CO.
