SUSPECTED DOODLE.
Ii Hung Chang Did Not Give Credit
to an Omcial Working for
Nothing.

When Mr.. IRE was lord provost Of
Glasgow, Scotland, Ii Hung Chang
was on his tour of the world. The
great Chinese statesman was the
guest of the Scottish metropolis and
was taken for sail down the Clyde,
so that he might see the shipping and
the docks of hat famous water
way. 1t fell to Mr.. IRE as the dep
uty chairman of the Clyde harbor
trust to conduct the illustrious stran-
ger and show him all the works of the
trust, and the works are many. for
the old saying is true enough, THE
Clyde has made Glasgow and Glass
gov has made the Clyde"
''IIow much" asked Ii, do you get
for managing all this?'
lie was told in reply that there was
no salary and that the craftsmanship
was a position of much honor and
dignity. An incredulous look passed
over the orientaPs face and his keen
eye fastened on magnificent dia-
mond pin Mr.. IRE was wearing Ad-
vancing toward that gentleman. he
put his finger on it with look of
triumph: Where, then, did you get
that?"

least three congressional district
conventions declared for tariff re-
vision. in Minnesota Congressman
Eddy, in an interview. declares that
the republicans Of the whole state
demand tariff revision. This view of
the case is Endorsed by the Mortified
News, which is owned and edited by
Congressman Heatwole. who in the
last issue Of that paper said:
THE people Of the northwest have be-
come fully convinced that they are paying
excessive prices for protected trusts goods
which are being sold cheaper In foreign
markets than at home. They are beginning
TO realize that the foreign trade OF the
northwest. especially in its food products.
will be diminished and IS liable to be de-
stroyed unless some OF the tariff schedules
are modified"
This would indicate that the whole
state is ablazc for tariff revision
against the trusts. Senator Cullom.
of Illinois. declared in an interview
at Atlantic City last week, that he
favored tariff revision.
How win these republicans recon-
ellie their differences when on the
stump this fall. some talking for nj
ira protection. others for free trade
in hides and other raw materials.
Others for partial tariff revision. and
still others for the removal of the
duty on trusts protected products.

THAT would excite the curiosity OF

He said that few years ago the

co on business. One evening he was
walking on the street when he noticed
woman accompanied by child
about six years old. The woman ap-
pealed to him TO protect her from a
man who had been following her.
King was true American. He was
chivalrous. lie saw the woman and
her child to their hotel.
I'm returning he met the man who
had been the cause of annoyance TO
the woman. King said to him:
When any woman is accompanied
by child that means protection,
and any man who fails to extend
that protection is n coward. l have
always extended it,
The man resented what he called

later on in the campaign. to explain
just where the republican party
stands The newspapers publish in
terviews with several members Of
congress who differ on these sub
jects. Mr.. Cannon. of Illinois, i'm an
interview published in the Washing
ton Post, August Fl. says:
The tariff will be revised some
time, but not at the next session Of
congress. or by the succeeding con-
gress unless there is a check to the
present prosperity" AS Mr.. Cannon
is one of the republican leaders of
the house of representatives and is
chairman of the committee on APP
preparations, his statement must be
taken as good authority for the fac
ton which he trains with. II that
faction, which includes about all the
leaders that now control congress. is
able to control the organization of
the congress to be elected this year,
there will evidently be no tariff re-
vision or trust legislation. The
trusts would seem TO have firm
hold on this faction of the republican
party. for tariff revision is the only
legislation these trusts fear who are
protected by the tariff. Senator
Pritchard, of North Carolina. in an
interview in the same paper and on
the same day as Mr.. Cannon, says:
Il have no sympathy with the de-
sire to tinker with the tariff. :.
shall certainly oppose any effort to
reform the tariff"

there is hardly doubt that many Of
them could be convicted.
The attempted prosecution Of the
trusts in the civil courts is too slow a

The beef trust and the Northwestern
railroad merger. the only ones thst
have been attacked. do not seem 10

means to fight the trusts. and IL the
present attorney general Is slack and
nonresponsive to public opinion there
are other lawyers who have not been
corporation attorneys that can be
drafted for the battle.
The coal and beef trust magnates
would hardly care to spend a year in
the penitentiary and would doubtless
obey the law rather than do so. The
coal road presidents would tumble
over themselves in their efforts to ar
bitrate their differences with the strik-
ing miners and the beef trust mag
mates would reduce the price Of beef
to reasonable figure rather than take
chances Of being convicted.

The law courts sometimes furnish
a morsel Of humor. Not long ago a
certain person who figured on the
register of an English revision court
was objected to by one of the agents
on the ground that he was dead.
The revision barrister declined to ac-
cept the assurance, however, and de-
manded conclusive testimony on the
point.
pray. sir. how do you know the
mans dead?" demanded the bar
rister.
"Wcll," was the reply, II don't
know. It's very difficult to prove"
AS I suspected" returned the irate
barrister. you don't know whether
he's dead or not"

know whether he's dead or not. but
