tate the legislation which is to be had
They will determine the things which
are to be considered and those which
are to be ignored or shelved. Very lit
tie time will be consumed by congress
in tariff discussion, whether the Cuban
reciprocity treaty succeeds or fails. Con-
gress will have something better to do in
the approaching time than to listen to
democratic follies on the tariff 1t is
probably true that such men as German
think that a tariff debate would make
capital for their party by embarrassing
the republicans. AS the republicans,
however, will be masters of the situation
in the senate as we'll as in the house, they
may be relied on to head off all plots
of this sort which German and his
friends may have in mind.
Probably the democrats have two
things in mind in connection with their
tariff discussion programme They
might bring out some differences of opin-
ion among the republicans on the gen.
eral subject of tariff alterations, and they
would delay needed legislation. Either
Of those two things would hamper the
republicans. Because they would ham
per is one very good reason why the
republicans will not permit them If
German and his associates want to make
few speeches in favor of tariff reduc-
ton, there will be no way to stop them.
as the senate has often been known to
give up days to trivial things But the
embargo will not be allowed to last
long, and the republicans will not take
part in the talk. 1t will be out of the
power of the democrats to precipitate
any fight on the tariff in the coming ses-
sions, extra or regular, of congress. The
probability is that the republican lead
ers will arrange things so that the long
session will have ended by the time the
big conventions meet next summer. and
the party will have a chance to give its
undivided attention to the rolling up
of majority for their presidential tick
ct which will at least equal that of 1900.
German Welcomed.
Germans boomers among the demo-
Gratis cannot understand how it is that
the republicans are disposed to welcome
that parsonage as a possible candidate.
This is all easy. The republicans would
be glad to see German nominated. be-
cause of the fact that they believe he
would be weak. The republicans are
supporting Bryan for like reason. Cor
man never had the eloquence, the mag
netism nor the popularity of Bryan, but
everybody knows now that Bryan as the
candidate in 1904 would get fewer votes
than he received in 1900 German would
be one of the feeblest nominees whom the
democrats could choose If he were the
candidate it would be hard to inject
much excitement into the canvass. II
the democrats want to confer an espe-
ciaI favor on the republican party they
will nominate the Maryland trickster.-

NOT MERELY PLAYING.
The PRESIDENT Has Esta bIished a Rep
utation for Honesty and
Sincerity.

Within a year from the present time
both political parties will have held their
national conventions and made their
nominations for president and vice pres
ident. Usually at this stage of the pro-
ceeding there is evident a good deal of
combination and wire pulling on both
sides to secure the respective nominal
lions. The present situation shows an
abundance OF this on one side and little or
none on the other, says the Indianapo-
lis journal. Our friends, the enemy, are
all at sea in regard to candidates as well
as issues, while the republicans are TAX
ing 1t quite easy in sort of calm seren-
ity as to both. Their confidence is well
based on President Roosevelt's admins
tratlOn and his personal popularity
The republican party has a good habit of
recognizing faithful public service. In
1900 no other name was presented before
the national convention for president
but that of William Mckinley, who was
recognized at the time as his only logical
successor. His nomination was second
ed by Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. McKin-
ley received for first place 926 votes and
Theodore Roosevelt for second place 925
votes. The latter was a delegate and
could not vote for himself. The unex-
pected fatality that made him president
gave him an opportunity to prove that
the party had made no mistake in nom
mating him for second place, and since
his accession to the presidency he has
not only grown steadily in personal

NO FIGHT ON THE TARIFF.
Republicans, Masters of the Situation,
Will Head OFF Democratic
Plots.

According to Senator German, "at the
coming session of congress the joint
resolution to affirm the Cuban reciproci-
ty treaty will open up general tariff
debate" The senator is mistaken.
There can be no debate on anything un-
less, more than one side engages in it.
Only one side will figure in any extend
ed talk which the democrats try to put
up in the approaching congress. 1t
makes no difference whether the Cuban
treaty is dealt with in an extra session
or whether it is taken up in the stated
session which begins in December, there
will be no contest on the tariff. The
treaty will be dealt with quickly in eny
case. 1t will be defeated or ratified
promptly, and the end which will be
reached will stay ended until after the
election of 1904. Let nobody have any
doubts on this point. Rumor has it that
congress will be called in special session
on November 9, just after the state cleo
lions Of 1908, and four weeks before the
regular meeting day. Possibly this will
turn out to be true, but there will be no
tariff fight, either then Or in the regular
session, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
The republicans have good working
majority in each branch of congress.
They will be in complete control from
the moment that body meets until it ad-
journs without day, on March 4, 1905,
just before President Roosevelt's next
inauguration. The republicans will die

these motley folk but make tho huge
city still more American, for is not
America built up in strength and pro-
gressiveness from this very admixture
of diverse elements?
Let US look at some Of these foreign
ers.
Prosecutions, and a desire to give
their children better chance than they
themselves have had, have caused the
Jews to herd in the close quarters of the
Chicago Ghetto Though Chicago is for
tunate in her wide territory, giving easy
foothold to many thousands of her mill
lions, yet even here there exists a crowd
ed Ghetto. Over $4,000 persons dwell in
this quarter, near to the very heart of
the city; and doubtless, owing to pres
ent active prosecutions in Russia, these
numbers will presently be greatly aug
mented. In this quarter the looker-on
comes upon Jews of well-known types;
old, bent, thin men, with long gray
boards struggling over long black silk
dust-coats; old women, with great bum
dies on thier heads and gay shawls
about their shoulders; push-cart men,
old, young and middle-aged; sharp
nosed, sharp-eyed youths; dark-eyed
maidens, displaying amid their poverty
the Jewish love of finery; old-clothes
folk galore; myriads Of children.
Though everywhere are visible and
penetrable the filth and squalor attend
ing overcrowding and extreme poverty,
too, everywhere is noticeable good-na-
ture, kindness and helpfulness. And
here, while one finds eager ambition for
a rise to better conditions, one finds also
true democratic spirit; willingness to
lend hand, and a belief in the gospel
Of equality. A newcomer is Jew, we'll,
then, he must be given a welcome and
a v<AA be he Austrian or Hungarian,
Ae or Russian, Bohemian or Rouma-
4ian. The Ghetto, it is needless to say
is by no means locality where sanitary
laws are rigid1y enforced, but in spite
of its dirt and disease one cannot but
oote the many evidences that the Jews
Of Chicago find life worth the living.

THE STARS AS GUIDES.
Ingenious Device for Use on Vessels
When the Heavens Are OBJ
scured by Clouds.

The stars have always been the guide
device been invented by which they are
accurately identified, says Worlds
Work. In an overcast sky they will
appear for a moment and then lose
themselves behind a cloud. The mar
iner must by guess or by some diagram
CT his own work out his location from
them. The new invention consists of a
star map over which swings a trans
parent scale, and it revolves from the
point located on the map as the north
pole. On this scale are engraved the
circles of altitude and the lines of
bearing. From this map, by slight
calculation, and by revolving the trans
parent scale until it is opposite certain
figures indicated on the map, the ships
location can be instantly taken. The
name of this particular star is obtained
easily by reference to the nautical al
manac by guide on the chart.
This seemingly simple device is al
ready in use On the American line and
the Red Star line Of steamers, and
every new test reports success. 1t is
the result of many years study and
hard labor on the part of DR.. Cess
niger, whose idea it is Even after the
working model had been made and
found satisfactory a difficulty arose. 1t
seemed impossible to duplicate by any
mechanical means the transparent in
dicator. No engraver could be found
who was willing to undertake the work
of reproducing exactly the fine lines
and figures on this scale, the use of
which depended entirely on accuracy.
The inventor Immediately went at the
task of planning a machine that would
make the desired lines, and after in
finite labor he constructed a mechanical
device which engraves or the scale ex-
actly the lines of his ingenious original
model. This new invention is likely to
be an added preventive OF accidents
and delays in ocean travel.

The Hollanders are engaged in dairy
and market gardening. They are thrifty,
temperate, religious, and the 10000 Of
them living in Chicago are welcome ad-
ditions, good citizens.
The Swiss, too, are desirable immi-
grants. There are about 10000 in Chi
cago; most of them live on the North
and Northwest sides of the city, but
they are not so closely grouped as are
the other foreigners. Like the Holland
ers, they own their own little homes.
With their large families of healthy,
rosy children, their thrift and industry,
they are indeed residents worthy of re-
spect. And they seem so comfortable

Now, Mrs Elliott" sounds well, but
does not thrill. Say to the elderly
beau: Sally Hargous, you know"
and he will remember without further
prodding. Miss Hargous was the belle
of several seasons, feat never since
her day repeated. She was called
beautiful; she was fne-loOking,
spirited, magnetic, full of life and en-
ergy, regal. Her photographs have
never done her justice. Her marriage
was unhappy, and was soon dissolved.
She has since lived very sedately, and
the news that a marriage was likely
soon to be celebrated between her and
Mr.. Kane was a surprise to many.
Should this marriage take place, an
odd situation will confront a certain
section of society.
Mrs Maud Jaffray Hunnewell, di-
vorced wife of Hollis Hunnewell, has
already changed her name by marry
ing John Tooker.
Mr.. Hunnewell is expected in the
autumn to console himself by wedding

known five years ago as Baby Belle

of Arthur Kemp.
These three women include Mrs
Elliott-are close friends. Mr.. Kemp,
