The carnation is presenting itself
before the people of this country as
candidate for the honors of nation
al flower, and is finding it's support
ers in many localities and among
many classes of people, although it's
strongest constituency is probably
among the florists. At the coming
meeting of the American Carnation
Society, of which Charles Willis
Ward of Queens is president, which
ia soon to be held in Indianapolis,
an effort will be made to advance the
interests of the carnation as the
national emblem. The State Florists
of Indiana has already
given the movement it's indorse-
ment, and Nebraska congresman
has drawn up q bill advocating the
adoption of this flower. New York

The following from the Mliwau-
kee Evening Wisconsin is we'll put.
The canvass for the Mckinley
memorial fund has brought to the
front for further discussion at vari-
GUS points the old question as to the
propriety of asking the pupils Of the
public schools to bring in contribu-
tons. Some years ago the Mil
waukee school authorities prohibited
can vases of this kind among the
pupils of the public schools and they
have consistently adhered to their
determination ever since, without
regard for the nature of the various
funds for which the privilege has
been asked. It seems that the
school authorities of Kansas City
are now wrestling with the question
in connection with the raising of
the contribution from Missouri to
the Mckinley fund, for the Star of
that city has attacked the PROPOSE
ton quite vigorously. Its objections
ar practically those which dictated
the course Of the Milwaukee school
authorities in refusing a similar
privilege, and those which should
govern action everywhere in regard
to request of similar nature. The
Star says:
The practice of canvasing for
money in the schools, under any
pretext, is indefensible. It is vio-
lation of propriety, and ought not
0 be allowed. Generally speaking,
the pupils who attend the public
schools-or their parents-need the
money witch they are asked to give.
Buying books and clothing for child
rem is an expense which many
families find it difficult to meet. If
there are those who can be liberal
without sacrifice, those who are not
30 situated are made uncomfortable.
No body in the world is moro sensi-
tive than, children.
The way to reach the pockets of
the parents of school children is to
go, directly to- the parcels them
selves then the money obtained will
represent sincere tribute, and not
a perfunctoy out giving to save
children from modification incident
to odious comparisons.

The Tariff question is one of
perpetual interest, engaging the
best thought, OF. the ablest state
man. It is never question to be
hastily adjusted, but one requiring
mature deilberation. The present
Tariff was thought out, and fought
out, by strong men who were actu-
ated by patriotic motives It was
made by Americans for Americans
ut q time when American trade was
much less restricted than it is to
day: 1t put new business life into
the nation and in all trade lines has
been a blessing to the people for
who it was enacted.
The Tariff law has been and still
is a great business chart for Ameri-
ca. 1t is a Republican measure,
supported, passed and maintained
by Republicans. It had the active
opposition of the allied political
powers-the Democrats, free Silver
men and Populists. The good that
it has worked, and is still doing,
must be acknowledged by all who
care to be honest with themselves,
and the public. But it was never
intended to be like the laws of the
Modes and Ferisans, unatlterble. It
is still in the hands of it's friends.
There will be no general revision Of
the Tariff law. That may be relied
upon as certain.
If here and there the law can be
readjusted to meet present condi-
tions it will be done by its authors
and friends. No attempt by the
Democrats to repeal or revise the
law will succeed. The people, it is
believed, are satisfied with the OK
listing law with the slight modifica-
tions that may be suggested by the
changed conditions that have been
brought about by the passage of
years. In general way Senator
Hanna suggested the proper course
in dealing with the Tariff, when he
said: 'Let well enough alone"

Dor would prefer the present bureau

that labor wants department of its

be placed under the domination Of
the politicians. We fail to see where
in the department will be any more
under their domination as provided

would be if organized under Mr.
Gomper's idea, and do not believe it
would. It would be represented in

cause the president to be much more
careful in the selection of the man
