The great lawyer, great Democrat
and great man Samuel ]. Tilden had
touch of humor, at times querulous in
its tone, and at other times he could
be funny without meaning to be, says
the New York World. He was an ex-
pert judge of wines and his cellar was
choicely stocked. When dining out,
however, he had a little way of meas
uring by the, taste of his guest and or
dering accordingly. The late Col.
John r. Fellows noted this trait, and
once when dining with Mr.. Tilden saw
that as usual the Sage of Greystone
had ordered a small bottle of an ordi-
nary brand for his plate and very
choice vintage for himself. Mr.. TIL
den was called away from the table
for moment and the Colonel deftly
shifted the bottles. When Tilden lifted
his pint to pour out the wine his eye
quickly noted the difference, but he got
out of the difficulty nicely. Here,
waiter" he said. you have made
mistake in my wine. / want the same
kind Col. Fellows has"
A certain politician. still eminent but
not refined. made Mr.. Tilden a busi-
ness call at his Gramerey Park man
sion. Wishing to be particularly nice
to him the old gentleman got out
bottle of Johannisberger Schloss, the
rarest of Rhine wines. and began to
decant the contents into a minute
glass, shifting the SAVIOR of the juice
and taking great pains to indicate that
a treat was coming. A tray with some
large glasses was at hand. The poll
tician reached for one, and grasping
the precious bottle by the neck dump
ed half the contents into it and drank
oil Of -,
him malevolentlv and did not try to
prolong the visit. When the door
closed behind the guest he said with a
snap:
Oh him. The next time he
comes I'll give him beer"
Mr.. Tilden liked canvasback duck
and always instructed the chef at
Cables how he wanted the bird cooked
after personally selecting it. He had
just got his bird before him one day,
soon after the purchase of Greystone,
when Conrad N. Jordan came in and
said: MIR. Tilden, l have an offer for
Greystone. The party will give you
$4,000 more than you paid for the
property"
Mr.. Tilden laid down his knife and
fork and said in a tone of mild exas-
peration:
Now isn't that shame. Why. I've
just set out 100 peach trees"
He didn't sell.
AT one of the early dog shows ne
bought an immense Great Dane dog
What's his name?" asked a visitor
ASK him. said Mr.. Tilden.
What good would that dol"
IT'S his name," was the reply.
So it was--"Askim."
The dog knew a number of tricks, but
would only perform when fed. He'd
make good politician" said his own
er as he gave him a bone.

TRULY STRENUOUS.

In the Presidents message, it is said, the tariff
question will be subordinaed to that of trusts. Tha
seems entirely probable. If there is any one line Oh
attack against the trusts along which Congress may
be expected to uphold the President it will be where
the possibilities of damage are least.
Trust legislation is in the direction of least dam
age and accordingly will be the line of least resistance
far Congresses opposition to Roosevelts
policy.
AS matter of fact Congress. and the trusts.
need fear little immediate danger from trust legsa
ton which is yet nothing more than catch-phrase
What substance it has is made up entirely of Mr..
Roosevelts suggestions and Mr. KnoX's campaign
oratory. OF course Mr.. Knox has studied the ques-
ton deeply-for the campaign. Trust legislation is
big phrase, but mostly hollow.
The first thing to do is to ascertain whether the
trusts are violating the interstate commerce act and
the law of their being; and then legislation be
directed against them that has been the Presidents
plan. No one connected with the administration has
rs yet discovered at least made KNOWN whether the
trusts are really violating anything. 1t would per-
haps take good conservative "goslow" Republican.
such Mr. Roosevelt bids fair to become and such
rs his Cabinet and Congress are something like sew
enty years to find out just wherein the trusts offend
Suppose that trust legislation really is launched. 1t
will require long journey through the Supreme Court
to determine whether ii is effective and that may be
long after the next Presidential election.
Criticism of the message must naturally await its
actual transmission, but it wise to predict
might feel safe in saying that the President will
cept the least dangerous horn of the dilemma, and
that is trust legislation
Forced to depend for the furtherance of his policy
upon Congress whose attitude is at best uncertain
and whose expressions indicate want of ndorse
ment. the President is indeed in situation requiring
tact and the delicacy of his position is little en-
HANGED by the fact that at present political breaks
must necessarily be momentous
