WARNED BY A new
ENGLAND SENATOR
Platt, Of Connecticut, Declares
Republicans Must Modify
the Tariff.
NREASONABLE
UTE
ProtectlonIsts Who Insist on Their
Retention the Worst Enemies OF
the Cause-lndorsed by New
York Tribune.

New York, Feb. 10.--By far the mos,
significant expression which has so far
come from any member of congress re-
garding the effort to secure tariff con-
cessions for Cuba is an interview
which the New York Tribune printa
with Senator Platt of Connecticut
Senator Platt a proved himself to be
one of the most stalwart Of high pro-
tectionists, but the cold, calculating
New England mind sees the danger to
his party and sounds a note OF warn
ing. To drive the warning home the
dignified Tribune, which has never in
dulged in typographical gymnastics,
prints the interview in black type on
Its first page. The Tribune has never
faltered in its advocacy OF protection,
but here is the interview which Sen
ator Plat dictated and the Tribune
conspicuously displays:
Il am n protectionist and have been
so much so that l have been called q
partisan. / am as strong q protection
list now as ever, but / believe that
proper and reasonable tariff conces-
sions can be made on Cuban prod
ucts in return for Cuban tariff conces-
Sions on American products, which
would greatly benefit the trade of both
countries and not appreciably injure
any American industry. / think the
u Of protection is being wounded
now in the house of it's professed
friends, and that the free trader can
not injure the cause of protection as
much as protectionists who insist upon
unreasonable and unnecessary duties
This interview and its reception by a
recognized authority on the protection
policy confirms the idea which has
been advanced regarding the tariff diff
ficulties which confront the majority
at this session of congress-, hat a pro-
tective tariff does not fit and cannot
be made to ht the conditions which 10Y
confront the country. In every step
made by the ways n means commit
tee and in all the proposed legislation
for Cuba and the Philippines, interests
which worked in harmony for the en-
actinent by the Dingley law, clash and
fight through republican legislators.
The republicans dare not call a cau-
Gus to consider the Babcock bill di-
rected at the Iron and steel interests,
There Is little or no doubt that If the
Babcock bill were submitted for pas
sage to the house enough republicans
would vote with the democrats tc
pass It.
The warning Senator Plat sounds
means that unless the protectionists
heed the wishes OF the people and come
to the relief OF Cuba, either q con
gress will be elected which will top
pie the protective policy overheard, OF
that republicans from the agricultural
districts who must come up for re-elec-
ton In the fall, will, in a desperate eff,
fort to placate their constituents
make an onslaught on the tariff SEIZED.
ules which are supposed to be founda-
toned on what the trusts have built.

New York Times: No policeman was In
sight, Of course. That was because he
was wanted.
"Hit him. Muggsy!"
Soak him, Swipes!"
Now yuse got him.
Put II on ther smeller!"
These and many other edifying ejacu-
lations were hurled at two small boot
blacks who were earnestly engaged In
spelling each others face with their fists
while a big crowd stood in a circle about
them in front of the postofflce.
1t was going badly for the larger of the
two boys when a member of the Boston
Peace society, or one of it's branches.
stepped In and separated the boys. For
a wonder both seemed willing to stop.
The peacemaker said:
well, what arc you fighting about?'
Then an amusing explanation followed
and "a new idiotic joke was started on its
Journey through the town. for every man
and 10y In the crowd that heard the ex-
pl3' ton started off to Spring the joke
On ne first acquaintance he should meet,
and possibly to be a participant in an
other fistic engagement. The boy said:
This bloke comes up ter me and seq:
Say, what's Their next ter the last letter
In ther alphabet?
10y" seq |.
Zoos i wants to know seq he, and
he laughs and swipes me on Their back,
ell Their others they all laugh too. / don't
see NJ joke in it, so | hits him on Their
pepper. Do youse see"
He stopped short; a grin spread all over
his dirty and bruised face. He looked
sheepish and then laughed outright.
"Hully gee, i see 1t now You're all
right. Muggsy. Shake! Why, Y, sure.
It's a good one and I'll spring It on me
brudder."
They shook hands and went OF to-
gether. The crowd laughed and each one
FASTENED to spread the plague-a new
joke.

Paranhraslna n Ioka.

Baltimore Sun: A big, good-natured
farmer was awaiting the suburban
train, accompanied by a handsome
Gordon setter. Two sons of Britain
stood near him. The dog strayed away
from his owner, who vas reading a
newspaper.
Hey" called the farmer. Come
here. Locksmith," and the dog imme-
diately ran to his feet.
One of the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
May l ask" he said, what you
called that dog?"
"Locksmith," said the farmer.
And, why, pray?"
Because every time / kick him he
makes a bolt for the door"
There was a general laugh, in which
the Englishman Joined.
When he returned to his companion
he remarked:
Most extraordinary name that man
over there calls his dog"
"Wlat?" asked his friend.
"Locksmith," replied the first Briton.
Ana why such a name?"
Because, he says, every time he
kicks i'm he bolts for the door,"
