standing togeLner and they will pour a flood of money into the republican side of the campaign. They will fight determinedly for their unholy privil- ege. The republicans will aid them by saying that the tariff should be re- vised by it's friends, and from the President down they will declare that they are in favor of tariff revision If they really are they will make good their position before 1904, for they control all branches of the govern. ment. If they do not do this before 1904, the people will know the value of their pretensions, and they will act accordingly.
 It is at any rate the consumers battle, and the consumer in 1904 who does not understand the issue will be either one too thick-headed to under stand the effects of indirect taxation, or else he will be one who prefers such taxation. Let the revision bat tie go on. It is the true issue of 1904, and it is an issue that will put the democrats back into resL Lonsibility and power again. Dingleyism is tottering, and every phase of Tuesdays cleo tions shows it will soon be con demned

LEAVES TO AVOID socieTY.

Washington Telegram to the Indianapolis

 Society of the capital has little ,attrac- tion for one girl who could. if she chose, be one of the most prominent figures of the official circle. Miss Rebecca Page Knox, the beautiful daughter of the at torney general, does not care a whit for the opportunity of being the belle of a cosmopolitan set, and is positively annoy ed by any demands society makes of her. In order to escape the performance of the duties which fall on her as her fathers daughter Miss Knox has decided to spend the winter in the Orient It is whispered among her friends that Miss Knox Is working on a book, and intends to gather material for it's completion dur ing her stay in the far east.

Tricks in All Trades.

There are tricks in all trades, as Is well known" said citizen, 'but one of the newest is that of man in New York who would pretend to faint in the public streets relying on the sympathy of the passers by to resussitate him, and provide him with funds, believing him to be friendless and afflicted. The man would always select a good spot in the fashionable district where wealthy wom- en were shopping and proceed to have a fit. It was ascertained by the police that he had been making about twenty dollars a day in this business-rather a good income for a few artificial fits a day.
 This case recalls a similar one where a criminal would pretend epileptic fits whenever he was being questioned too closely by the police. He would fall to the ground pretend to be rigid and dou- ble up his fists This would of course baffle the police and postpone the cross examination or sweating process His imposture was. however. detected one day by a physician who hapepned to be present. When a healthy or normal man doubles up his first the thumb is always on the outside of the fingers, but it is just the reverse with an epileptic This man did rot know this and when the doctor saw him fall down and sham a fit with his thumb on the outside of his fingers he walked up to him and giv- ing him a kick, ordered him to get up The man was so surprised that he did so unhesitatingly'

oom Paul.

"I often wonder if Dom Paul will go down in history as a great man or a great fool" remarked a man in the lobby last night. There was time when every one thought he was a very big man. His picture was in all the papers and the cartoonists were pleased to rep resent him as holding the British lion in check. He was the great man of South Africa. The British Hon. however is rather hard to control when thorough ly aroused, and the time came when Dom Paul scuddled out of Africa and sought an asylum in Holland. He left the Trans vaal just at the time when many thought he should have stayed and sacrificed all with his people. His last words to the boys in the field. however, were words of encouragement. Go on fighting he said. You have my prayers and sympa- thy
 "One of the most important acts of Dom Paul as president of the South Af- rican republic was to issue a decree at the outbreak of the British war declar- ing that rents were suspended while the burghers were in the field. This worked very well as long as the war lasted, but the courts of that country have recently rendered decision to the effect that this decree was unconstitutional that Dom Paul rather assumed too much authority and that the rents which have been ac- cumulating for the past few years will have to be paid to those rightfulIy en- titled to them. This decision means It, orally ruin to thousands of his country men, and I hardly think will enhance Dom Paul's popularity with his people. At last accounts Dom Paul had no in- tention of returning to his country, al- though peace has been restored, but ls still in Holland smoking his pipe and having ample time to think''

Crimes.

PoRT TOWNSEND. WASH, Jan. l3.-
People Of WILDLY Island are in :high
state OF excitement over the finding oil
another headless body on the beach near
Fort Casey last week. The head and
hands had been cut off and the cloth.
ing removed. Yesterday another body
was found there with the head severed
from the trunk. As no residents Of the
island are missing, the authorities are
of the opinion that murders have been
committed somewhere up the Sound,
and that the heads have been removed
to prevent Identification. Another thing
which increases the mystery is the
fact that the came person found both
headless bodies, and Gays that he found
another some 10 days ago, but before he
could notify the authorities the body
had disappeared.
