the boys and all sorts of stuffed animals Along with this live stock Is a raft of trophies of the plains, such as chairs made from the horns of elks, fine skins of buffalo. mountain goats and wildcats, Indian blankets, pipes and other curios In addition, the President Is carrying small fortune in the shape of gold and silver tablets which have been used to engrave addresses of welcome for the Presidential party at different towns. AL together the President is expected to bring back to Washington a highly interesting collection of wild animals and junk.
 It was thought at first that room could be made for the beasts that had been gathered en route at the White House stables. The young Roosevelt boys are in a great state of excitement over the pros- pect of adding to their stock of live pets some fierce specimens from the plains and mountains of the far West. But 1t is be- lieved that the narrow precincts of the White House stable and even of the Ex ecutive Mansion grounds will not permit of the herding of all the beasts that are being brought to Washington. In all like ihood the larger and fiercer specimens will be sent to the National Zoo in the sSburbs of this city.
 Archie and Quentin may be depended on to capture several of the smaller and less offensive animals. At the present time the most interesting pet that the Roosevelt boys have is a sheep. It is in the stable and has habit of slipping his moorings and roaming up Seventeenth Street to Pennsylvania Avenue. One of the regular events that officers at the Army and Navy building depend upon to break the monotoy of the daily routine is the chase of the Roosevelt sheep by the White House attendants.
 Little Teddy has game rooster, named Red Cloud, of which he Is very fond His attachment for the rooster is probably due to the fact that the bird is full of fighting blood and does not hesitate to give battle to any person who ventures within range of its spurs and beak.

SOME INDIFFERENT HuMoR.

We do not know that there Is anything to be gained by a discussion with The Huntsville Tribune, but in it's issue of last Thursday it used some arguments for which there is no excuse. Discussing The Advertisers editorial on the question of better school-houses The Tribune closes it's editorial with this:
 The country school house Is used as a shed for the cattle and sheep and hogs in the range during the winter and the children and fleas congregate there in democratic Alabama, and unless you de- sire facing the charge of endeaVorng to injure the Democratic party, you had bet ter shut up your mouth.
 There is no excuse for the insinuations conveyed in that paragraph. Politics and politicians have nothing to do with the character of our school buildings. If we are to discuss the matter from that stand point We must remind The Tribune that all that has been done for education in Alabama has been the work of Demo- crats. It i'll becomes any newspaper which professes to advocate white mans government to try to make 1t appear that the Democrats are responsible for the conditions set out in the above extract if such conditions really exist. which we doubt very much. If The Tribune has any knowledge of a community in Ala nama where the school house is used as a shed for animals in winter and for chill dren in summer it should point it out We do not believe anything of the kind. and thin he Tribune, in its anxiety to exploit isan politics. has gotten off a very Joke.

SUES TO RECOVER LETTERS.
Judge Toney's Notes on Contracts
 Fall in Strange Hands.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
 The Letters of Judge to His Son" are the basis of suit filed in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, and the man into whose hands the letters fell Is to be compelled to pay the judge for the privilege of publishing them 1T the cOmplainant's bill Is granted
 Judge Sterling B. Toney of Louisville, Ky. IS the plaintiff and the defendants are William T. Hughes of Colorado, who is said to have appropriated the letters, and the members of the firm of Cal laghan X Co.,, IA Monroe Street, Chicago, wno published the letters.
 In 1901 Judge Toneys son, then 2l years of age, was d student in the law depart ment at he University of Colorado at Boulder To help the young man in his has been chancellor of the Circuit [, urt of Jefferson County, Ky, prepared q series of private notes on the law of contract. These notes were based on the judges long experience IS a lawyer and jurist. and were sent to the son at short intervals, in the form of lettetS.
 In the following summer the student formed the acquaintance of William T. Hughes, who was lawyer of Boulder. Hughes learned of the existence Of the letters of the judge and requested that he be allowed to read them. The request was granted, and, it is said, Hughes kept the letters the greater part of the year.
 Several months ago when new legal work was isued from the press of Cal laghan & Co.,, entitled, Hughes on Con- tracts" a copy fell into the hands of Judge Toney. and he was surpried to find that his letters to his son had been re- produced.
 Judge Toney says he wrote to Hughes asking whether he had caused the bor rowed notes to be published and that Hughes replied in the affirmative. Judge roney believes a large edition ot the work has been published, nd asks that a statement of the profits be submitted to the court. and that an injunction be issued restraining Callaghan & Co from further ! publication of the book.

FOR TARIFF REVISION.
President and Leaders Reported in
 Favor of It.

Walter Welmans Washington Special to Chicago Record Herald.
 Revision of the tariff by the Repub- lican Party shortly after the Presidential
 campaign Is now the program of President
 Roosevelt. and all the Republicans, exS
 cept perhaps those of Pennsylvania. ap-
 pear to be falling in line. Senator Hanna
 understands that revision is coming. and though he Is the original stand-patter he did not butt ms head against the in evitable in the platform which his con vention adopted at Columbus today. Say the Ohio Republicans:
 Changing conditions arfd the possible benefits of reciprocity may call for time ly readjustment of schedules. but protec- tion as a principle and as a policy must be administered by the friends of Ameri-
 man prosperity and must not be sacri- feed"
 This is not far different either in lan-
 guage or spirit from the tariff plank
 which the Iowa Republicans will adopt four weeks hence. It has already been
 made known that the Iowa idea Is to find It's new expression in terms similar to
 those used in the national Republican
 platform of 1896, which declared the party
 equally opposed to foreign control and
 domestic monopoly. to sectional discrim-
 ination and individual favoritisn," and
 added We are not pledged to any par ticular schedules. The question of rates Is practical question, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of pro duction. The ruling and uncompromisng
 principle is the protection and develop
 ment of American labor and industry" Various members of Congress have re- gently been interviewed here, and have
 declared there would be no revision of
 the tariff before the Presidential elction. They incur no risks in that direction. This question was settled by President Roose-
 welt last spring after full and free con
 ference with leading Republican Sena- tors, and the decision was announced in
 these dispatches at the time. The Presi dent found divided counsel. Hanna. Hale, Frye, Fort ker and Platt of Connecticut did not want any squihting toward revi-
 sion at any time. Aldrich. Allison, Spoon CT and Lodge sided with the President that if the demand for revision continues
 the question should be taken by the Con gress which meets immediately after the Presidential election. No one favored talk ing 1t up earlier. so the President has steered his ta riff course between the two extremes while on his Western trip, but 1t is his belief that the question of revi-
 sion should be taken up year from next winter and 1t Is his purpose to have 1t taken up if public sentiment in the middle West continues as it now stands. The suggestion has been made-and 1t is suggestion which will bear further thought and inquiry-that the Repub- licans have but one source from which to draw funds for their campaign next year, and that is from the protected man. ufacturers. They can't get money from the railroads, the banks and the trusts An impending revision might help them to tan the manufacturers.

SIR HENRY IRvING's WIT.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper's Weekly.
 That Sir Henry Irving is quite capable of maintaining his dignity under some what trying circumstances is shown by the following anecdote which is told Of the tragedian by MT. c. R. Kennedy of the "Everyman" Company.
 On one occasion Irvings company hav- ing been called to the theatre for rehear- sal, found upon their arrival that they were considerably ahead of time. As Sir Henry had not yet arrived, one of the actors in the company, who was noted for his accomplishments as a mimic, pro- ceeded to give a lively and elaborate i'm itation of Sir Henry's highly character istic acting. As he finished his demon stration. a well known voice came from the depths of the darkened auditorium:
 Very good" it said. Very good in deed. So good. in fact. that there Is no need for both of us in this company"

The Montgomery Advertisers attempt to hand over to Grover Cleveland the Alabama delegation is too ridiculous for more extended comment. Alabama pre- fers some one who is not heavily handi- capped. Birmingham Age-Herald
 Our contemporary would add to its rep utation for fairness if 1t will withhold such comments until The Advertiser makes such an attempt. Because We firmly believe Mfr. Cleveland Is the strong est man the Democrats can put up Is no reason for charging that we are trying to hand over7 the Alabama delegation to him or to any other man.

HIS POSITION IS PLAIN.
Says The Virginian-Pilot:

If MT. Bryan would follow up the dec laration that he is not seeking party leadership, with the recognition of the fact that, to abandon single position on the firing line, is not to abandon the fight, he could do great deal to strengthen his party.
 But MT. Bryan does not propose to ad- init anything that would show that he has ever been wrong. Take the follow ing from a recent letter of his published in The New York Independent:
 You ask whether the candidate in 1904 should be "a compromise between the gold and silver Democrats, silver Dem ocrat or a gold Democrat" This depends entirely upon what the Democratic party wants to do. If it wants to bid for the support of the plutocratic element 1t will nominate gold Democrat; If 1t wants to bid for the support of the masses 1t will nominate a silver Democrat: if 1t does not want any support at all and does not care and Mammon,, it will find a man who lacks either the brains or the heart to take a position There is no possibility | of "a compromise: if the party Is to be an effective force in politics 1t must So in one direction or the other and the direc- tion cannot long be concealed:
 Is not that an order, plain as English ! words can make it, to the Democrats of the country that they must not depart from the platforms of 1896 and 1900? What else are we to understand than that he will fight any movement looking towards ! harmony? There is no possibility of compromise, is his positive declaration, and can mean nothing else than that he wants no harmony unless everything Is conceded that he has heretofore contend ed for and our contemporary itself knows that nothing of the kind Is possl- ble.
 MT. Bryans somewhat ostentatious dec laration that he does not aspire to be leader might as well have been left un- uttered. He well knows that he cannot again lead the party to defeat as he has twice done. but he makes 1t plain in all his utterances that he has neither learned nor forgotten antyhing. and that those who really wish to get the party togeth- CT on some common ground have got him to fight to a finish. That fact may as well be understood now as later. for 1t is a fact. and must be taken into account in any movement looking to Democratic harmony. It is not as a leader but as an obstructionst that he will figure and in that role he must be considered Do any of his former supporters doubt this?
