Success of the Solemn Ass,

Look about you, gentle reader, and
consider the solemn ass in every walk
of life. Who 81 respected, so admired.
so influential? He never takes sides.
He never is partisan. He goes along
with knitted brows, his thoughts too
deep for utterance. Smaller men may
abandon themselves to hasty inclina-
tions, to rash preferences. to robust
views. He does. If he speaks
at all it is with such profundity and
circumlocution and complexity that
the most reconcile cryptogram ever
rescued from a pyramid would seem
to burst of innocent and childish can
dor in comparison. Yet he wears fine
raiment every day. He enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of the cOmmuni-
ty. He prospers. The oil of opulence
~anoints him. He is the incarnation
of success.-Washington Post.

The Rioht Place to Beoin.

When the political history Of Mary
land is written there will be a para
graph or two for the McComas-Mudd
feud. It is now in progress, bitter
and unrelenting. McComas was a
United States senator until March 4
last, and Mudd is a Representative
in Congress. Both are Republicans.
In the old days, though, they were
bosom friends. McComas was the
leader and Mudd a follower. One
day they were dining together.
Sydney" asked McComas, how old
is your boy?"
Sixteen" replied Mudd, proudly.
"My, my" said McComas. 81 didn't
think he was so old, but, 1 tell you,
Sydney, when the time comes I'll do
something handsome for that boy"
Mudd leaned over the table. Mac"
he said, when you want to do any
thing for the Mudd family you forget
the boy and begin with the old man"

PROTECTION FOR COAL.
How It's Removal Has Injured the Far
West.

The feet of vessels engaged to bring
coal from Australia to this country
numbers sixty-seven. There is not the
slightest possibility that the effect of
this will be to reduce the price of the
fuel TO consumers. 1t will be to give
the dealers a bigger profit, and to give
to a foreign country the benefit of a
market that should have been left to
home enterprise. This fleet will IN
load at San Francisco. In the North
west there is coal enough to supply
the California demand, and would still
be enough were the demand far great
er. Formerly Washington supplied
much of this coal. The demand has
been lessened by the adoption of oil
burning methods, but still remains con-
siderable. Now it will be filled by
Australia. Ships can afford TO carry
coal at a low rate to ports into which
they have ~infrequently sailed in bal
last. Thus the wild furOre to take the
duty off something has deprived this
coast Of an important protection. The
public mind awOke to lively conception
of this necessity when the strike and
the hoggishness of the retailers had
sent prices of coal in the East to a
figure where the poor were in danger
of freezing. Statesmen smote their
swelling breasts and vowed that they
would remedy these conditions. Then
they took the duty off coal, to the Diet
rIment of Pacific coast interests, for
which they have as little care as for
the interests CT Patagonia, and their
consciences ceased to cause them
pangs. The removal of this duty
could have no possible bearing upon
the evils it was sought to cure. All
that it could do it has done. 1t has
struck a blow at the Pacific coast; it
has diverted money to Australia, and
it has not had a single beneficent eff
feet.
This part of the country is in favor
of protection, and it would include
coal. The East has no Australian com
petition to fear. The agitatOrs who
favor fooling with the tariff want 1um.

TROUBLES OF TWO ARTISTS.
Why Both of Them Have Aversion to
Badly Warmed Halls.

A concert company in which Mr..
Seeboeck was the pianist had been
playing in some of the smaller towns
during February and had suffered con-
siderable inconvenience through In
sufficiently heated halls. One evening.
after an unusually cold experience,
Seeboeck related an incident which
had occurred IN a tour some months
previous. The violinist of the com
pany had received notice of the time
of departure at such a late hour that
in the haste of packing he neglected
to include In his wardrobe his dress
trousers. The omission was not dis
covered until an hour before the con-
cert. Naturally he was greatly dis
concerted upon realizing that he
would be forced to appear in dress
coat and gray trousers. In this
dilemma he called Seeboeck into con-
sultation. Both men were nearly of a
size and Seeboeck hit upon the plan
of both using the same trousers. per
forming a lightning change" between
appearances. The plan was adopted.

as possible after reaching his dressing

Why George Grossmith's Butler Was
Leaving His Service.

Why George Grossmith's Butler Was
Leaving His Service.
Many and various and weird are the
reasons given by servants for wanting
a change of place. Here is a tale told
by George Grossmith. which adds a
rare and wondrous instance TO the
long and eccentric list:
His butler, who had been with ham
for nearly twenty years, went to him
one day and said:
"If you please, sir, l want to leave"
Mr.. Grossmith was sorry, and asked
the man his reason.
81 would rather not say, sir" was
the mysterious reply.
This was uncomfortable, and Mr..
GrOssmith pressed the question again.
Come" he said, you have been
with me for so long and have never
complained before. Surely l have al
most a right to know why you wish
to leave. Your secrecy is unpleasant.
and | must really beg of you to tell
me your reason for leaving my ser
vice"
The butler thought a moment and
then said:
We'll, sir, as you insist, l must tell
you. But l don't want to. CA pause.)
The fact is, sir, I've been with you
for close upon twenty years, and I'm
tired of the sight of you and all your
family"

1904 TARIFF ISSUE
HOW TO TEST THE QUESTION OF
REVISION.
Should the Republicans Stand for
Business Stability and the Demo-
Gratis Urge the Abandonment of
Protection, Which Would Win?

Referring to the acknowledgements
alone" doctrine advocated by Score
tary Root in his Boston speech, the
Minneapolis Journal says:
But if times continue good the doc
trine of leaving things to themselves
will be just as good in 1905 as now,
and that sort Of postponement cannot
be kept up very long if the tariff is to
be revised by its friends.
There is probably not one man in
a thousand in the United States that
does not expect to see a business and
industrial reaction in this country
sometime within the next ten years,
and many expect it within the next
five. When that reaction comes it
will be too late to talk about having
the tariff altered by its friends. The
people are more likely to be in a
mood to have it altered with a broad
ak by it's enemies"
This question a be tested-and it
will very likely be so tested-in a
simple and direct manner. Thus:
Let the National Republican conven-
ton next year resolve that
Tariff stability is a vital need of
all business, industry, trade and COM
merce. Therefore, as the country is
now in a highly prosperous condition,
any revision of the tariff at this time
is uncalled for, unwise and unwar-
ranted."
Then let the National Democratic
convention next year assert its plat
form that
THE existing protective tariff is a
robbery and a tax; it obstructs bust
ness; it shelters monopoly; it permits
combinations of producers to plumber
the consumers; it makes the rich rich
er and the poor poorer. Therefore the
tariff should be Immediately repealed
and in its place a tariff for revenue
only should be enacted"
Going before the country upon the
tariff issue thus sharply and clearly
defined, which party would carry the
Presidential election in 1904? From
present indications that issue is likely
