Orthodox Republican Doctrines.

The Republican members of con-
gress who have taken a firm stand
against any concession to Cuba in
volving an exception to protective
principles are thoroughly consistent
and on solid ground. If the tariff
on sugar is to be reduced especially
to oblige Cuban planters and middle
men the protective tariff system will
be assaulted at other points to assist
foreign interests at the expense Of
our own. The Republican national
platform goes no further with reci-
procity than to approve Of it in deal
ing with articles that we do not pro-
duce ourselves. That is the true basis
of action for Republicans. If they in
troduce an exception they open the
door to other exceptions and to tariff
tinkering, the end Of which no one
can foresee. The impartial protection
of American industries is ac-
knowledged unquesticned Republican
doctrine. Special tariff concessions to
a foreign country are not Republican
doctrine and never can be until the
party abandons one of its principle
and cardinal articles of faith.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

VIII the Farmers Stand TIP

Before making the cut in the sugar
tariff the dominant party in Washing
ton should study the statistics Of the
last election. Where did the big ma
j~orities come from, majorities which
elected Republican congressman and
gave the presidential ticket an I'M
precedented vote? The answer will
be, From the farmers OF the Middle
West and Western states. The cities
had overcome their alarm at the white
metal menace, but the farmers, many
Of them carried away by the silver
craze Of sc, lined up for the RepIbli-
can party as they never did before.
And now the first change proposed in
the tariff is one that will lower the
protection on a product of the farm.
Is this fair treatment of the farmers?
Will the farmers stand it to see their
prosperity threatened while other in
dustries are left undisturbed? Unless
all the signs fail the tariff will be a
leading issue in the next campaign,
and where will the Republican party
be with the farmers aiienated?-Grand

fate of each of the eight leading char
acters in the story. Life-sized "por-
traits" Of these persons are pl~acarded
about the streets; five are women and
three are men. Under each portrait
stands the name of the person and a
series of questions for the competitors
to answer. For instance: Catharine:

The TaIkatlVe Drummer Retort.

Prof. E. E. Sparks OF the university

made:
"a travelling mar boarded the train

remarked:

by this time the travelling man was
annoyed. He turned sharply upon me

The Eutura of SMEAR

1t may be that the American Sugar
Refining company, otherwise known
as the sugar trust, has become a buga-
boo with which to brighten US honest,
Woodworking tillers CT the soil, and it
certainly appears in multifarious
shapes, now as a Cuban sympathizer
in Washington, deploring the recalci-
trancy of congress in admitting brown
sugars at a fraction of the present du-
ties and at the same time religiously
prohibiting the importation of Cuban
white sugars; appearing again as a
great plantation owner in Cuba and
then again in Porto Rico. We learn
that the trust is a partner Of Claus
Spreckels in California, including his
immense new beet sugar factory at
Salinas, the largest in the world, and
now from Denver comes the news that
the American Sugar Refining com
pany has made the first move TO take
up the beet sugar industry in Colorado.

Baron RothschIsd's Replv.

Some years ago. while Baron Rc.hs-
child and a nObleman friend were
taking a pleasure trip along the Rhine
a young lad on the boat noticed the
end of a silk handkerchief sticking
out of Rothschild's pocket. Turning
to his chum he said: IF could only
get that handkerchief, Think Of how
much it must be worth" Try to get
it then" said his chum, with visions
of the fabulous value Of a Rothschilc
handkerchief. So the lad took the enf
OF the handkerchief between his frg

point the nobleman turned to the bar
on and whispered: Baron, that boy

The advice was followed next day,

of a prominent senator who had called

"The late President Harrison was a
!onnoisseur OF rare old wines, although
lie was extremely temperate In the use
of them. At the time when he visited
stanford university to deliver four lee
lures or international law for a fee OF
$4,000 (Which Is probably the record
price for university lectures). he was
luartered in II OF the college halls.

2ially prepared for him. Immediately

there anne also a case OF carefully
selected ~clarets. %burgundies and ma
leiras. which were placed In one OF the
rooms set apart for his use.
The next day all these wines had
disappeared, and the only reminder OF
heir previous existence was found In
L long train Of empty bottles in the
midst of the campus. When President
Jordan heard Of this he summoned be-
fore him the students OF the univer-
sity and made them a little address. in
The course of which he said that he
was about to institute an investigation
INTO the p%urlOining of Mr.. Harrison's
wines and that 1t would go much easier
with the guilty persons If they would
have the manliness to come forward
and own up. After he had ceased
speaking there was a long pause. and
presently one OF the students in the
back part OF the room rose and said
with a bland, impersonal air:
"'Mr President, the bylaws of the
university forbid the bringing of any
wines or spirituous liquors upon the
university grounds or into the univer-
5ity buildings. Consequently. If any
wines or spirituOus liquors have been
so brought in and If they have disap-
peared. which we all regret, they have
probably been seized as COntraband,

president Jordan made a few sOme-
what inarticulate remarks and then
dismissed the meeting. Nothing more
was said about the wine. and 1t is
probable that Mr.. Harrison's legal

INVITING RETRiBUTION.
Southern Democrats Cannot Afford to
Vote with the Tariff Robbers.

Southern Democrats Cannot Afford to
Vote with the Tariff Robbers.
The sugar interest could defeat the
Cuban concession if the Democrats Of
the house were to stand by the insur-
gent Republicans and refuse to make
any change in the tariff. 1t looks, how
ever, as if they are willing to open the
bill for amendments only that they
may attack the tariff at various points.
This is a dangerous policy, especially
for the members from the South. If
the representatives of the cotton states
insist upon attacking the tariff at va
rious points, how a they expect to
defend the iron and steel schedule by
which Alabama, Tennessee and Geor-
gia are so largely defended? How can
they refuse to reduce or entirely re-
move the tariff on cotton goods as be-
ing an unnecessary protection for a
country where the raw material is
grown and where we are experts in
machinery? To glance for a moment
at our great and growing cotton in
dustry must convince every Southern
congressman hat he is inviting peril
Gus ~retribution when he attacks sched-
ules in which this section is either not
concerned or is greatly interested.
In the cotton industry the number of
workers employed has increased 1874
per cent while wages have increased
31.3 per cent. This is explained by
the expansion of the industry in the
South and the comparatively low rates
of wages prevailing here. Details are
as follows:

SMALL-WARES.

If the census had been taken this
year instead of in 1900. the returns
would undoubtedly have been still bet
ter, as trade conditions have, improved
materially during the past fifteen
months.
Now, if Southern Democrats attack
schedules, in which they are
not specially interested, they need not
be surprised to find the Republicans
retaliating in kind. The mills Of the
which turn out a finer grade
of goods, can stand a large cut in the
goods schedule, while it would
be simply ruinous to the South. To
reduce the cotton schedule is to dis
place from the home market, in favor
Of British and German mills, much Of
the products of our Southern mills. 1t
IS therefore good policy for the South
ern Democrats TO stand by the Louisi-
ana sugar growers and by the cotton
factories that are now springiDg up in
every direction. If an alliance is
between the Democrats and
the insurgents let it be an honest
alliance!-New Orleans Item"

FIRE IN THE MIDST OF 4 GALE.
Connecticut Manufacturing Center

Waterbury, Conn. Feb. 3.-In the
hardest gale of the winter. Waterbury,
Connecticut, struggled last night with
a fire that destroyed a large area Of
the business section Of the city, and
threatened 10 wipe il out completely.
The blaze started in the store Of the
Reid & Hughes Dry Goods Company
at 1Ue-1I Bank street, and that store
and many adjoining buildings were re-
duced in few hours 10 smoldering en-
bcrS. An estimate Of $2.DDO.0OO as the
amount Of property loss on building
and contents was considered conserva-
tive by insurance men. The origin OF
the fire is unknown. and it was undis-
covered until il had gained tremendous
Roadway.
The fire at go was under control.
with moderating winds. The flames
are not out by any means. though it is
believed they can now be confined
within the area already burned
The fire originated in the upholstery
department on the third floor OF the
store. At G:15 p. IN. A. l.. Lyall,
+. X. Croker and f. X. Burnham were
in the store. When they left there was
neither smoke nor smell of smoke on
flames were seen to burst with great
force from the windows of the third
floor and from the basement almost
simultaneously. Before anybody could
ring in an alarm the whole interior of
the building was a mass of flames.
When the department reached the
scene flames We're issuing from every
window. and it was evident that the
ctr Il "A al,
tire business section of the city was
imperi1ed.
The fire started in a drizzling rain,
with rapidly increasing wind, and
with the increasing cold the rain
turned to snow. The wind was at
first shifting. but it settled toward the
east and carried destruction with it.
Shortly after midnight the fire, which
had apparently been brought nearly
under control, broke out in new places,
and the efforts of the local tiremen,
combined with the aid given by fire
fighters and apparatus from Hartford,
Bridgeport, New Haven and Nauga.
tuck, seemed powerless to stay its pro-
gress. The blaze was wiping out the
business portion of the city, all the fire
being confined to that section, though
residential parts Of the city We're in
danger from sparks driven by the furi-
Ous wind.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors of accidents and
fatalities, but at the Waterbury hospi-
tai at O'Clock. 1t was said that no acci-
dents or deaths had been reported.
At that hour the fire was still burn
ing, though as viewed from the hospi-
tai, which is on an eminence command
ing the city, 1t appeared that its vigor
was abating. Hope was expressed that
the worst was over and that the fire
would soon be under control.
