sheuld b. Careful.


No tariff is perfect, even for the
time at which 1t is framed. Every
tariff act, like legislation of any
other sorts, is a compromise among
diverse interests. 1t satisfies no one
entirely. and it grows, in spots, less
and less satisfactory as time alters
conditions But there is always q
chance that when any revision at all
of a tariff is attempted, the whole sys-
tenn is taken up for discussion In
every instance when tariff changes
have been started the changes have
affected more articles than the chang
es intended at the outset One of the
consequences of this tinkering has
been that men in nearly all sorts of
Industries have been made uncertain
regarding the outlook, and as a con-
sequence enterprise is blighted for the
time.
The Republican party has a special
incentive to be careful about tariff tin
kering at the present time. An cleo
don for Congress will take place some
months hence, and congressional cleo
tons which come at the middle of a
presidential term are apt to hamper
the party In power in the presidency.
The Republicans, of course, went

academy and Harvard college. He
has been a successful lawyer in Chi

has been mentioned as a possible can

never made capital of the fact that by
the accident of birth he was the di-
rect descendant of a great and good
man.

The Day BEYOND.


When youth is with u.s. all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone'
For life is long, and time stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun
What need of any haste? we say:
To-morrow's longer than to-day
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We have no leisure to enjoy,
So few the years that yet remain;
So much to do, and, ahi we say
Tomorrow shorter than to-day!
But when our hands are worn and weak,
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like a bleak
Last twilight waning in the West,
1T is not here-the bliss We seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest,
And yet what need of grief, we say;
.To-morrow's longer than to-day"

One La Shot.

Sedalia, Mo-, March 24.-Wid Mar.
tin, aged 10 years, was fatally shot
yesterday afternoon, in East Sedalia
by Edgar Allen, playmate of his
own age. A Jesse James company
was in Sedalia last week and num-
Der of young boys were reproduc-
ing the play in a barn, having an au-
dience of about so boys. Allen was
playing the part of Jesse James,
and Martin that of a Pinkerton de-
tective. When the latter attempted
to capture the bandit Allen took a
shot at Martin with a 3s-caliber re-
volver, the ball entering Martin
head near the right ear and passing
out on the opposite side. The
wounded boy is alive, but the sur
geons have little hope of his re-
covery.

will have a monument built to his
memory in Chicago. Admirers of the
dead statesman have already taken
up the plans. The first contribution
was from ex-senator Charles A.
Towne, of Duluth, who wired to draw
on him for $3.50. Ex-senator Richard
F. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, fol
lowed it by a check for $500. 1t has
been suggested that the memorial
should be placed in Lincoln park. A
group of Boer veterans, showing a
child to the man whose last breath
was given for their cause, was sug-
gested as the design.

Though the Grand Trunk Railway system
carried over 10000 tourists and sportsmen
into one district of Canada's summer play
grounds last year, the Company is starting
out this year with a vigorous policy of adj
vertlsing to still further increase the influx
of pleasure-seekers who annually travel over
this system.
The company has now decided to give the
populace of some of the larger cities in the
states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania an opportunity of seeing
the series of Photographic views it had on
exhibition atithe Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo. There will be over 100 pictures
in the collection, each measuring feet 6
inches by feet-2 inches, in addition to one
of the finest collections of mounted fish
that has ever been shown. The fish include
specimens of black bass from the Highlands
of Ontario" dore and maskinonge from the
st. Lawrence, land-locked salmon from their
native waters, and other specimens of rare
value. A representative of the Grand Trunk

HANNA WON'T RIDE

ing the Mayor in Joint
Debate.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 18.-Whether
the Democrats are to succeed in their
purpose to bring Tom L. Johnson and
Senator Hanna together for a joint
debate is somewhat doubtful at pres
ent. The senator has declined to speak
in Johnson's circus tent while lit is on

hope to get them together after the
mayor begins his campaign in Cleve-
land and the circus features of the
campaign have been abandoned.
Z would be more than pleased, said
Mayor Johnson, .1to meet Senator
Hanna in joint debate. I am making
campaign for home rule and just
taxation, and I would like to have him

issues. I am fighting against nonop-

corporations which he has advocated
I think would be able to prove that
I have the better of the argument in

THREE GIRLS IN ONE

Apparel Worn by Gigantic Man Eighty
Years Ago Still

MEREDITH, N. H, Oct. ia pair
of trousers worn by Caleb Towle, whe
died in this town eighty years ago
are still in existence, and are so large
that three girls, the eldest seventeen
years of age, recently got into then
and had a photograph taken.
Caleb Towle was born in Southamp-
ton, England, and came to Americc
with his parents when about ten year
of age. In the War of 1872 he was IL
service as ensign in the navy.
He died at the age of flfty-six years
and weighed a few days previous t.
his death SIS pounds. and some months
earlier he tipped the scales at nearly
900 pounds.

have killed him at last. He was too
honest for them. That Is the third
president who has been killed by the
hands Of an assassin"
A dawnfng consciousness seemed to
tell him that he was dead. Dead at
least to mundane things and. that he
had been assassinated.
File thought that the physicians must
have made some awful mistake, and
tried to make some sound or sign to
show that he was not dead, as they
supposed him to be, but the effort
proved futile.
In the Presence Of Death.
The voices of those who thronged
round what he knew to be his coffin,
became clearer and their words easily
recognizable Many ofsstHA persons who
fiooked to see him as he lay there life
less and presumably unaware Of their
presence, said things which to no one
who has departed this life seemed kind
and appreciative. There was no harsh
criticism of his failures; no hasty
judgments upon his actions. Everyone
spoke with becoming reverence in the
presence of death.
But he was not dead, for how could
he be so clearly aware of all that was
passing if he was.
Time and time again he made a des-
perate struggle to move, to speak, to
show some sign that he was alive, but
to no purpose. He heard the tramping
of many feet, and knew that they had
come to take him to his last place. He
had become passive now, finding all
efferts to reverse the inevitable were
useless, and when at last he felt the
coffin in which he reposed lifted UP
and transferred to the hearSe he knew
that the last scene in the grim tragedy
of his life was about to be enacted. 1t
aimed that, the journey would never
end, until at last the place was reached
where he was to be left, and in the
gloom of the sepulchre which had been
prepared for him he seemed to lose
all hold Of life and drift away into a
state Of obliviousness, which perhaps
was eternal
The little timepiece on the mantle in
the White house library chinled two
o'clock in the wee srna' hours, and the
president, who, overcome by fatigue,
had been mapping for some hours or
mere, aWoke with a start and looked
around to assure himself of the reality
Of the actual. In his hand, probably
the cause of his sudden dropping
asleep, was an interninable letter from
a bt,Inetallic crank, giving detailed
account of the pernicious results which
would ensue from the maintenance of
a geld standard.
Yet it is said the uncanny effects Of
that dream have had a lasting impress
sim on the ex- president.
