PRICE ONE GENT
WAS LOATHE TO LEAVE.
Midshipman Duncan Douglas
Says Goodby To His
Classmates.

Madshipman Duncan Douglas, OF AL.
Dany, N. X, who was dismissed from
the Naval Academy on Saturday, was
loathe to leave. He appeared in town
IN the afternoon in "c.ts" dress. and
when he bade his classmates goodbye,
there were tears in his eyes.
midshipman Douglas entered the Ma
val Academy with the present fourth
class. representing his age to be eighteen
when he Is really twenty-six years old.
lhe matter was placed before the Navy
Department at Washington. and the
young man was called up before Acting
superintendent Charles J. Badger, COM
mandant OF midshipmen al the Academy,
who administered reprimand.
Midshipman Douglas was very popular
with his classmates, and stood high in
ms studies. having passed one Of the
highest entrance examinations. He was.
considered remarkably clever The mid
shipmen declare it was an un<ind thing
Tor the informant to give away Douglas
age TO the Navy Department, and the
general impression among the class is
that II was spite work
Mr.. Douglas stated he always wanted
to be naval officer, and his dismissal
from the Academy has changed the
whole current of his lite. He has no
plans for the future. II was stated az
the Naval Academy that there were
other cases on record OF midshipmen
having entered beyond the age limit,
but this exceeds them all, there being
a greater disparity Of years.

A Good Performance.

One of the best companies that ever
appeared here was that of Mr.. Edward
Schneider. Jr, that presented at the
Opera House on Saturday night the rural
comedy drama "Utah." The play was
well cast. all the parts being taken in an
excellent manner. Miss Mary Atheling,
the leading lady, was natural, graceful
and won the hearts of her audience from
the start. She is an actress of merit and
ability. and her work is credit to her
self and the company. Mr.. John Ravold
as John Farnum, the william OF the play,
was whole show in himself He handled
his part skillfully and too much cannot
be said in his favor. George Sprague as
"Pa Caldwell was inmitable. He is an
actor in every sense of the word. The
entire company was a capable one, and
the play well produced> The audience
was very small, and it is to be regretted
that such an excellent company had to
appear before such a small audience.

FIGURES AND THE TARIFF.
Evidence of Administrations Active
Participation in the Game
of Politics.

1t having been decreed that the re-
publican party is to stand pat" on the
tariff, and the decree having been en-
tered without reference to the party's
wishes, it it, of course, necessary that
nothing be permitted to happen that
is calculated TO prejudice the stand
pat" policy in the republican mind. IL
has been asserted that there is no pres
emit necessity for any change in the
tariff, and the public has been told
h a no changes will be made until
after the election next year; and it is
expedient that care be taken to obviate
the danger of the public's getting hold
of any official information that would
tend to discredit the assertion that
the circumstances are such that tariff
revision can wait, says the Bingham
ton IN. y Leader. In view of all this,
the following from the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican is pertinent and sig
nificant:
1t is very well known in newspaper Of
hces, If not elsewhere, that the treasury
bureau of statistics is being used by the
present chief, in the most unblushing man.
ner, to promote the high tariff propaganda.
All trade flgureS calculated to show that
the tariff is working as theory would have
1t work are promptly spread out in special
~ prepared articles and mailed to the
press for publication on a specified day.
All other statistics are carefully kept in
the background unnoticed. These govern
ment specials to the newspapers average
TWO or three a week, and as high tariff
preachments they are not eXceIled by any
thing the American protective tariff league
Is doing. This bureau of statistics has now
been transferred to the new department of
and labor, and the report comes
from Washington that Secretary Cortelyou
Intends to stop the practice, believing that
the department should not expose itself
to charges of undue craftsmanship"
1t has for some time been evident
that the present administration is APP
plying itself with unusual industry and
zeal to the game of politics, Mr.. Roose-
welt having, apparently, conceived the
idea that it is necessary to the re-
moval of all obstacles to the gratifica-
ton of his ambition to succeed himself.
A part of this game is the cooking of
reports from the bureau of statistics in
the interest of the 'standpat" pro-
gramme. If the figures and the facts fail
to justify this programme, then the fig
ures and the facts are suppressed, and
the reports are confined to such show
ings as are calculated to make il appear
that the tariff is doing quite well, thank
you! AS to Secretary Cortelyou's re-
ported intention regarding a change of
tactics in the bureau, it is possible that
the secretary will be induced to defer
making a change until the ~second-term
project and the ~'stand-pat' idea are able
to stand without being propped Up. The
people must be fooled to the tor of their
bent, even if the figures of trade have
to be doctored in the effort to- reach
that end.

Listening to the conversation of the
Canadian mounted police, as one en-
counters them everywhere in the
northwest, it is distinctly evident that
they are men of a different stripe from
the Tommy Atkins of the British regu-
lars. The mounted policeman is a
head, not an automaton OF a funky.
This was c~uriously illustrated during
the visit of the duke of York to the
territories last year. AS the royal train
drew into one of the frontier towns.
two liveried outrunners dashed breath
lessly to the platform, shouting excit-
eddy for the police Ito get out the royal
horses" The troopers of the university
type smiled and said nothing; but one
of the frontiersmen in khaki frowned
and took a bite Of chewing tobacco.
The two little men in royal livery
became apoplectic.
Don't you men hear? Get out the
horses! Who's going to get out the
horses?"
The trooper in khaki again calmly
took consolation for the insult from
his tobacco. "TIave some? No? Horses?
Did you say horses? Well, don't burst
your buttons. What do you think you
are for? Get 'em out yourself. Chi
cago Post.
