SECRETARY SHAW ON TARIFF
REVISION

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw's speech
at Morrisville, VT, has been looked for
ward to with some interest because it was
expected ne would to some extent express
the views of the administration regarding
tariff revision. No doubt he did consult
with the President before speaking, and in
expressing his own views, as he did very
frankly and clearly, he probably expressed
those of the President and the Republicans
generally. Briefly, his position is that he
is in favor Of revision or amendment Of
the tariff whenever or in whatever respects
1t may become necessary, but always by
the friends of protection and in the in
terests of that policy. This has always
been the position of the Republican party.
1t stands for a policy and not for any par
ticular scheme. No tariff was ever so per-
feet but 1t might be improved, and ii
would be very unwise for the Republican
party to anchor itself permanently to any
schedule to deny that changed condi-
tons might require from time to time q
change of rates. This is the meaning of
the declaration in the Iowa platform,
sistently misquoted. misrepresented and
misconstrued. That declaration was ''in IA
vOr of such changes in the tariff, from
time to time, as became advisable through
the progress of our Industries and their
changing relations to the world" That
is very far from advocating a general
ripping up or revision of the tariff, and
the secretary makes it clear that he does
not favor anything of that kind.
On the proposition that the tariff is the
mother of trusts the secretary smoke very
much to the point. He said he would not
admit anything of the kind, nor will he
concede that tariff for revenue only will
destroy trusts on any other theory than
that a fire in a wheatfield will destroy
Canadian thistles. He also declared that
while a protective tariff is not the mother
of trusts, cit is the parent of conditions
that make it profitable for capital to COM
bine and congenial for labor to organize. :"
1t is certainly true that these conditions
were never brought about by policy that
destroys prosperity and creates free soup
houses and pauperism.
Secretary Shaw has been known for some
time as an effective speaker. but his speech
yesterday was his first public effort since
his entrance into national politics. 1t shows
him 10 be a clear thinker. and that in addi-
tion to having strong convictions he knows
how to state them in an original and con-
yfncing way

SHARPSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 19.-Mrs. Car
RE Romack, wife of Jesse Romack, local
hardware dealer, who attempted suicide on
Aug. IL, killed herself and baby at II
o'clock this morning. She had been re-
moved to the country home of her father,
Z. G.. Becker, in the hope that change
would be beneficial. The family was away
with exception of one sister and domestic.
Mrs. ROmack seemed rational, and was
peeling apples, when the baby, in an ad-
joining room, began crying. She rushed
TO it, locking the door behind her, and
with the knife she had been using, she al
most served the child's head, then cut her
own throat.
E. G.. Becker father of Mrs Romack, is
one of the wealthiest men in Upton county.
He owns about 45O acres of ind and is an
enterprising stock raiser.
KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. 19.-The Romack
double tragedy, eight miles south of here,
to-day, was witnessed by John Galbreath,
a kokOmO man, who was passing the
Becker home at the time. He broke in the
window and opened the barred doors. He
was too late TO save their lives. Mrs.
Romack lived several years in Kokomo,
and she was very popular. She was a
sales woman in the dry goods store of
Thalman & Levi until her marriage and
removal TO Sharpsville fifteen months ago.

cession moved through densely packed
streets AT the courthouse the crowd filled
every foot of space in the square. Vice
president W. II. Jacobs. of the National
Association Of Street-railway Men. spoke
Tor half an hour. President Henry Ballard,
Oh the local union. then spoke and was
followed by eX-Representative Alvin y.
Reser. who strongly upheld the efforts OF
strikers TO organize but urged them 10
use their efforts TO effect settlement. The
crowds We're orderly and while the speeches
were In progress the street cars ran but
with scarcely any passengers. There Is no
sign of a settlement.
The first arrests In connection with the
strike were made to-day. Ira Morgan and
Joseph Woosham. employees of the Monon
railway. were placed in jail charged with
placing Instructions on the tracks In the
northern end of the city. They were
caught in the act of placing planks on the
rails, II is alleged. by Policeman Slater.
The ofenSe is malicious treSpass and Is
punishable by imprisonment of not less
than two and not more than fourteen years.
The men will be tried tomorrow. The
labor men themselves denounce the affair
and claim to have no sympathy with the
pair against whom the crime is charged.
To-day the street cars contained very
few passengers, many cars running without
a single occupant. The strikers are plac-
ing more hacks and buses in operation and
lines are running to the Soldiers Home,
Monon shops and the West Side. No serious
trouble is anticipated, but the police keep
close watch for riots or disturbances OF
any kind.

RECEPTION TO president
ROOSEVELT.

As President Roosevelt has promised TO
visit this city on Sept. % to meet the SOL
diers of the Spanish war, who will hold
their national meeting at that time. it is not
too soon to begin to take measures for his
proper reception. This should be COM
mensurate with the dignity Of the office and
should be strictly nonpartisan. The pres
idency Of the United States is the highest
office in the world, and its Incumbent is the
most distinguished official There are
hereditary kings and emperors who have
more absolute and arbitrary power, and
who can surround themselves with more of
mock heroism in peace and of pomp and
circumstance in war, but the elective chief
OF eighty millions of people, the chosen
head of a great Republic, occupies incom-
parably a higher position than the acct
dental representative of any dynasty or the
fraudulent wearer of any crown. AS the
chosen representative OF all the people the
President is always entitled to a cordial and
nonpartisan reception whenever and wher-
ever he appears among them. When it was
announced in August, 1887, that President
CACNSAdAAu NOOiu NlSlb 1iuidlldpOilS III d
few weeks the Journal was the first paper
in the city 10 suggest a public nonpartisan
reception. II said that, as the constitutional
head Of the Nation and chief executive of
all the people, the President was entitled
TO cordial reception, and that the people
should unite regardless of politics in giving
him a hearty welcome. Pursuant TO this
suggestion. the Board of Trade appointed
a committee on arrangements composed of
citizens OF both political parties. The pro-
gramme included a procession embracing
all the military and civic organizations Of
the city and many visiting clubs. The late
General Kneler was selected as grand mar
shall. and his assistants included prominent
Republicans as we'll as Democrats The
Journal said: LET Mr.. Cleveland see that
as President he can be welcomed by Indi-
| ana Republicans we'll as by Indiana
Democrats And so he was. President
| Cleveland's visit to the city was on Sept 30.
1887 fifteen years ago, and just a week
| later in the month than President Roose-
velt's visit will be- and he expressed great
pleasure at the cordially of his reception.
| Similar timely measures should be taken
for the proper reception OF President
Roosevelt, and particular care should be
exercised to make it nonpartisan
