CULLOM ON THE TARIFF
illinois Senator Sees Necessity for
Revision

illinois Senator Sees Necessity for
Revision
The Senior Senator of Illinois is
not a radical tariff reformer, but he
is good observer and student of
public sentiment. He has favored the
ratification of the reciprocity treaties,
and he realizes that tariff revision is
a real, not a sham, issue. He is more
reasonable and progressive in dealing
with this question than reform er-man-
ager Babcock, who forgets as chair
man what he has so forcefu1ly and in
telligently said as tariff reformer.
Illinois sympathizes with Cuba and
supports her request Tor a material
reduction of duty. But it does not
stop there. AS Senator Cullom says,
the people of Illinois are also think
ing a great deal about tariff revision
The Senator adds:
There is no demand among our peo-
pie for anything revolutionary in tariff
matters, and l know they are willing
to trust the Democrats to do the work
which they feel should be done. What
we want to do now is to inquire care
fully into the whole subject of Dingley
schedules and determine just what
rates should be cut and to what ex-
tent. I don't know how soon we shall
have to take up this tremendous task
in Congress, but I do know that we
shall have to do it before a great
while"
Meanwhile the Republican party
must recognize the need and the duty
of dealing with the question. Shallow
talk of letting well enough alone"
will not do. And the conventions
should speak more plainly than Iowa
did the other day. Those professed
tariff reformers who are satisfied with
the Iowa planks are not at all hard
to please Any militant high-protec-
zionist Bourbon will admit that
schedules are not sacred or eternal
and that, as an abstract proposition.
revision is desirable from time to
time. From Iowa we had a right
to expect something more specific and
deinite-a declaration, for example.
that the time for revision has come.
and that certain schedules are no
longer necessary either for protection
or for revenue. Iowa has not said as
much as so conservative a statesman
as Senator Cullom is perfectly willing
to say-that there is work to do here
and now on the tariff system. and
that there is danger in delay and ex-
cessive timidity.
The Iowa tariff plank is disappofnt-
Ing, though half a loaf is better than
none at all There is, however con-
ISOLATION in the remarks of our senior
Senator.-Chicago Record-Herald.

SLAUGHTER OF THE BUFFALO,.
Thirty-one Million Of Them Were
Killed in Thirteen Years


Killed in Thirteen Years
In the forties, when the American
Fur Co. was in the heyday of its
power, there were sent from St
Louis alone in a single year 100000
robes; and the company bought only
the perfect ones. The hunter usually
kept an ample supply for his own
needs, SO that for every robe bought
by the company three times as many
were taken from the plains. St Louis
was only one port of shipment Equal
quantities of robes were being sent
from Mackinaw, Detroit. Montreal and
Hudson bay. A million would not
cover the number of robes sent each
year in the forties. In 1868 Inman.
Sheridan and Custer rode continuous
ly for three days through one herd
IN the Arkansas region; and in 1889
trains on the Kansas Pacific were held
from nine in the morning until six
at night to permit the passage of one
herd across the tracks. Army officers
relate that in 1862 a herd that COW
cred an area OF seventy by thirty miles
moved north from the Arkansas to
the Yellowstone. Catlin and Inman
and army men and employees of the
fur companies considered a drove of
100000 buffalo common sight along
the line of the Santa Fee trail. Inman
computes that from ST. Louis alone
the bones of thirty-one million buff
falo were shipped between 1868 and
1881.

STRANGE PecuIiarities.

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerm has
been credited with being able to sleep
as easily in a standing position as he
can lying down. Said the duke OK
Devonshire to him on one OCCASION:
You are like a policeman, Banner
man, you can always sleep standing
up" An equally curious habit is that
of Lord Rothschild. who confesses
that he can sleep better in theater
during the performance than he can
at any time or place.

What Constitutes "News."

The Buffalo Commercial says that
Charles A. Dana once defined news
in this way: IF you see dog biting
a man don't write it up But if you
see man biting dog spare no pains
or money to get the details to the
Sun Office" This is a poor paraphrase
of a good story. When doc" Wood
was night editor OF the Sun a young
reporter asked him: what consti-
tutes news?" Mr.. Wood considered
for a moment and then replied:
Here's an illustration which will
probably give you a correct idea of
what 1 think on that subject If you
should see a dog running down
Broadway with tin can tied to his
tail it isn't worth a line. But if you
should see a dog with a tin can tied
to his tail-wa1king down Broadway
it's worth a column"

THE visit of Prince Heury of Prussia to the United States has been d mem- orable and enjoyable occasion. The almost democratic simplicity of the royal guest and the good fellowship which he seems to have developed rem dered the duties of those to whose lot it fell to entertain Prince Henry pleas ure. As to the question which has been raised as to whether it is not question: able Americanism to SO eaborately en certain royalty, it may be said every courtesy which we can extend to the prince as the representative of the German people is proper. His pres ence affords an opportunity of showing our esteem for the people he repre- sents, but the attentions to him should be based on that fact, and should differ in no way from those we would show the representative of any other nation. In fact it is not royalty, but the nation, which we seek 10 honor.

Canada will also be asked to send sta. tislics. When all reports are in there will be an effort to secure legislation to preserve and foster the herds wherever found.

MANY voters are under the impress sion that if the bonds for water and sewage are carried it will increase their taxes. The water works and the sewer- age system are both self-sustaining, and the taxpayer who does not use the water works or sewerage pays no taxes thereon. The only tax paid is for town purposes and it cannot exceed one per cent in any one year, and this year the town tax is only half that amount.
