Remarkable Story Of
a Vegetarian Cat.

The vegetarian cat owned by Tom
my Magruder of Newark Is in clover
just now. Everything on the little
Belleville avenue farm, where the cat
and Tommy both live. is at it's best
and the cat does not miss much that
is ripening except the bell peppers,
tomatoes and celery. These she does
not like, but eats lettuce, cabbage and
green corn, raw, with avidity, says
the New York Sun.
She prefers her corn husked. but
will husk 1t herself in a rough way II
it is left where she can get at 1t.
Woody" as the boys call her, has
never been known to climb a corn
stalk to get an ear. but she is seen
every day nipping parsley and lettuce.
and few days ago she was caught
eating into growing cabbage. Sue
cotash Is one of her fayorite dishes.
but she is fond of cooked string beans.

Trouble with the Democrats.


On the goth of July, talking at Bar
Harbor to a New York World man.
William G. Whitney, for many years
one of the most conspicuous members
Of the Democratic party, declared his
intention Of staying out of politics
forever, and added:
THE trouble is that the Democrats
have no issue and no man."
That Is the exact situation of the
Democratic party to-day, simply and
solely because Of the FIVE years Of un.
equaled prosperity that have followed
the restoration of the Republican
party to the control of national af-
fairs. No man knows this better
than does President Cleveland's sec.
rotary OF the navy.
Few men have better reason for
knowing 1t, for few indeed have
profted more sumptuously than Will
liam G. Whitney has in these five
years Of protection prosperity. It is
because of the splendid issue-Pros-
perity-upon which the Republicans
stand before the country that Mr..
Whitney says the Democrats have
no issue"

The West and the Tariff.

Frank M. Eddy, q Republican con-
gresham for the seventh Minnesota
district, confirms what the Record.
Herald has said as to the sentiment
Of western Republicans on the tariff.
He testifies that in his section of the
country there is a very strong feeling
in favor of revision. and he describes
the western idea of a protective tariff
as follows:
ut should not afford protection to
monopoly, that Is, to an industry alb
solutely controlled by an individual, a
partnership, corporation, or trust,
nor to those industries that reduce
their employees to the conditions they
are protected against. but all indie
pendent industries should receive suf-
flcient protection to enable them to
compete on more than even terms
with similar ones in foreign countries.
any of these particulars. and it does
In many, it should be altered or
amended"
The idea, 1t will be observed, is in
no sense destructive of the protective
system. and the congressman adds
that what the western Republicans
want is not general revision but a
readjustment Of those schedules
which give a premium over and above
reasonable protection. This, we
believe, Is commonly desired among
them. and the desire has found ex-
preston, as Mr.. Eddy notes, in the
declaration of their state conventions.
Constituting his just analysis of the
tariff situation with his very san.
guine predictions of Republican sue.
cess next fall, there Is this to be said:
Success II 1t Is attained will be due
In no small degree to the platform
utterances to which he refers. They
have been the only effective answer
to the Democratic demand for revis-
ion, and they are everywhere treated
as a party pledge that the tariff will
actually be revised by its friends for
the correction of It's abuses, while the
principle Of protection is kept invio.
late.
The Republican congressman who
are elected on this pledge will take
their seats year from next Decem-
Der. 1t would be excellent policy for
the present congress to anticipate
revision, but II it does not year of
grace is pretty certain to be the limit
of indulgence which the Republican
party will enjoy. For the promises
now made are seriously interrupted,
and the revision sentiment is grow
ing SO steadily that the people are
likely to becor- thoroughly impatient
and to rev-lt If they are disappointed.

Volume XIII. of the report of the
Industrial commission tabulates 416
replies received by the commission
bearing on the question Of foreign
and domestic prices. The report
says; The great majority of the
answers indicated that prices are no
lower abroad than they are for domes-
tic consumers. and considerable
number indicate that foreign prices
are higher" A few, however. state
that they sell portion of their goods
abroad lower than ut home and the
reasons are as follows:
Cash payments and large pur.
chases in the foreign trade, whereas
the domestic trade is based on credits
and small purchases.
The drawback or rebate of the
tariff on imported raw material of
goods manufactured for export.
ITO overcome the tariff of other
countries.
TO secure new markets.
ITO hold market against new
competitors.
ITO clear out surplus stock or to
prevent shut down and increased
cost of production, by keeping mills
running and men employed
ITO get rid of samples and outof.
date goods.
Because the expense of selling and
advertising is less abroad than at
home"
These are the reasons attributed
by manufacturers of all countries for
sometimes selling part of their
stock at lower price abroad than
at home. 1t causes no injury to the
domestic consumers and gives added
employment and wages to laborers,
besides keeping the home market
firm and stable and preventing ruin.
GUS competition in cutting prices.
There is another reason why some
American manufacturers sometimes
sell portion Of their goods at a low.
er price abroad, and perhaps the
chief reason. Most of our machinery
or articles produced by machinery are
covered by patents which are exclu.
siveF controlled and operated in this
country. For example. take agricul.
tural implements. 1t can be shown
that where such articles are sold
more cheaply abroad than at home II
Is because Of patents. II not covered
by foreign patents It Is obviously the
policy to sell in foreign countries at q
price that will discourage production
in those countries.
And yet Of the manufacturers Of
agricultural implements reporting to
the Industrial commission, all, with
only one exception. stated that prices
to foreign purchasers are either high.
er or no lower than those for domes.
tic purchasers. Not one per cent OF
our output Is sold at lower price
abroad and only for some special rea.
son connected with that particular
consignment.

TASK is A HARD ONE
CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS A
DIFFICULT NATTER.
President Roosevelt Realizes the
Gravity Of the Situation--Amsnd-
mcnt to the Constitution Necessary
to Effect Desired Results.

The president says: 81 believe
firmly that in the end there will have
to be an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the nation comforting addi-
tional power upon the federal govern
ment TO deal with corporations. To
get tEat will be matter of difficulty
and matter of time"
The last sentence shows that the
president is aware of the fact that to
ament. the constitution, even to reach
an end desired by considerable
majority of the people, is no light
task. 1t will be necessary for the ad-
vocates of the amendment the presi-
dent believes necessary to overcome
the resistance of corporate interests
which prefer state to federal rule; to
overcome the state pride which will
bid the states retain jurisdiction over
the corporations which are their own
creatures: and to reconcile conserva-
tive slow moving elements in the
community to new departure-to a
greater Capitalization of the powers
of government. John Adams said of
the national constitution that 1t was
cxtorted from the grinding necessi-
ties of reluctant people," It may
require similar pressure to extort
an amendment giving to the general
government the control over corpora
tons 1t is proposed to bestow upon it.
II congress were this year. through
a sudden impulse, to submit to the
states an amendment transferring
from them to the federal govern
ment the jurisdiction over corpora
lions the amendment would fall far
short of the necessary three.fourths
vote. There are. states where no trust
has home and where trusts are
most unpopular which, Influenced by
the habits of thought of a century,
would refuse to give additional power
to the general government. There
are states whose legislatures are so
far subject to corporate influences
that they would refuse ratification
peremptorily. It would take some
thing In the nature of q revolution
to get the assent of states like New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The general reason assigned for
nonconcurrence in the amendment at
this moment would be that the RENE
dies which congress can administer
with the constitution as 1t is have
not been given a sufficient trial. This
Is a reason which will appeal strong
ly to many. In all human probability
no amendment can be adopted until
all other measures have been tried
faithfully and their failure is beyond
dispute.
The president does not exaggerate
when he says it will be "a matter of
difficulty and a matter of time" to get
