HENDERSON ON THE TARIFF.
Admits Reductions Should Be Made,
 But He Opposes Revision.

From Waterloo la, to Chicago Chronicle
 Speaker David E. Henderson in let ter received. in Waterloo today declares emphatically his opposition to a revi- sion of the tariff by the present Con gress and places himself in aposit1on of disregard to the known sentiment or nine-tenths of the Republicans or this Congressional district. The letter is the response to a petition recently sent to Speaker Henderson. which was signed by the Republican business men Of Wa terloo and Cedar Falls. and which urges Henderson to use his influence for tarin revision.
 The Speaker says no one will deny that revision cauld be made in certain parts of the tariff and reduction in some mat ters. but he thinks the danger is that in trying to reach few remedies we will involve the country in serious diffi- culties," He quotes from President Roose yelts last message the paragraph on the tariff and reciprocity and declares his views are expressed by it. He says:
 My own Judgment Is that 1t is more important at this time in the interes, of this country to reduce taxation upon ourselves and stop to proper degree the influx of the peoples money into the public treasury. The msnient that the country understands that there Is to bt a revision of the tariff jobbers will sus- pend large purchases. hoping to buy low CT prices. Serious business calamity might ensue."

Professor Garner still sticks to his monkey business, and insists on his theo- ry that he will not only teach the monkey language. but will teach them to speak English He promises that some day he Will appear on the lecture platform with two other anthropoids, and that all of them will speak English. Perhaps he will. We have heard English spoken by creatures bearing a very close resem- blance to monkeys, and it may be that the genuine apes may get to speaking like white men. =

Dull of Perception.
Mobile Register.


 The Democrats In Congress who cen see nothing in the reception of Prince Henry in a fitting manner but 'fawning ErCn royalty" are, to our mind, dull of perception. Prince Henry is to be re- ceivcd as representative of the German Emperor, and the German Empercr is the visible head of a great and friendly na- ticn. We do not iIi any way renounce our fid7llty to republican principles by heing courteous as We know how to be t. the distinguished -'isitor. We might lave some ground for withholding our welcome if Germany were q despotlsn, but since 1t is in fac. a union of States, just as is our own republic. and Is gov erned by constitution somewhat resem- bling our own, we will appear rather ab- surd if we cavil because the Chief Execu- tive is called an Emperoc instead of Pres ident and his represc ntative a prince in- stead of an ambassador.

Indian Department FooIishness.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 There is something so foolish in the d. legged government order that the Indians shall cut their long hair and stop paint Ing their faces that doubt as to the au- thenticity of the report should first be expressed. An Indian has as much right t1 wear his hair long as the Harvard man has to part his hair In the middle And an Indian has as much right to paint his face as a white woman has Io paint hers. Petty tyranny of this sort might easily send the remaining Indian bands on the warpath. The thing to do is tn clvilize the lndiad and then the Indian will take care of his dress without government assistance.

The Returns Sure.

 Mortgages are signed by two witnesses, as last year. and are folded so as to fit the inside pocket The back taxes are combed forward and parted on the side nearest the mortgage. In this climate mortgages generally mature early in the fall. For sure crop mortgages are hard to beat. They are perfectly secure against drought, wet weather, chinch bugs and early frosts. The yield is all that could be desired; the outlay small; the returns sure.

A Moral Duty to Cuba.
Minneapolis Times.

WIHHtdpOHS IImeS,
 The Cubans must have relief The United States canot evade a plain moral duty any longer and retain the self-re- spect of Its own citizens. A government that loses that respect would better prepare to go out of business as soon as the people can seIYe notice of dis missal. The question as to whether the beet sugar industry will be harmed and the cane sugar industry helped by a reciprocity treaty with Cuba is merely incidental, and, compared with the great CT one of our moral duty to the island, needs no consideration.

A correspondent wants to know if there is any way for a person subject to poll tax and not able to pay by the 1st of February to still get on the qualified list of voters. There is not, and, therefore, an extra effort should be made to get the money and pay the tax. The right to vote is too great a privilege to be given up without making every effort to com ply with the requirements of the law. The list of February is near at hand and if, this sacred duty is not discharged be- fore that time, the blame will rest upon the man who disregards it.
