A Convert to Music,

Lizzie bought new pianner,
Cause. you know,
Lizzie's beau
Liked to hear her play; and so
Lizzie with an artful manner
Used to coax
Her Pa and hoax-
Laugh at all his little jokes
Till he yielded-impulse rash
And produced the needed cash.
Then his life became a burden:
He could hardly get a word in
With the neighbors.
For. be jabers,
Lizzie never ceased her labors,
But kept tapping, tapping, tapping.
Without stop for lunch or mapping.
On the keys Of that pianner,
Till her mother and Aunt Hammer
Took their darnin' and their stitchin'
And went way back in the kitchen.
By and by cold wave caught us,
And no coal the dealer brought us.
Lizzie's father simply smiled,
Gently as a little child.
In a voice Of quiet cheer
He exclaimed. go. Lizzie. dear;
Bring my nice new AK In here"
That pianner once SO hateful
Now he holds in memory grateful.
He regrets his former sneerings,
And his leerings,
And his jeerings:
But he never thought 1t would
Be SO good
For kindling wood.

Stone of Missouri,

Mr.. Bryan has never had an aggressive
friend or champion in the Senate. The
democratic members Of that body have sup
ported him on the stump and at the polls,
but with some reluctance. He was not their
choice for leader at the time he was chosen.
He defeated their desires at Chicago in
1896. and they have never forgiven him
that rafting speech which upset all Of their
plans for that year. They had hopes Of the
nomination of Mr.. Teller. who was slated to
divide the republican party in the west
and thus smooth the way for democratic
victory. But there was never a chance for
Mr.. Teller after Mr.. Bryan assembled the
platform In he convention, and, taking for
text the very issue which the Colorado
senator so aggressiyely represented. made
1t his own in address which proved to be
a platform in itself.
There will soon appear in the Senate. how
ever, a man who not only stands very near
to Mr.. Bryan but still indorses the Bryan
lite policies. This is William J. Stone of
Missouri, who succeeds Mr.. Vest. He will
not come as a stranger to national life. He
has served several terms in the House. and
is familiar with lawmakers and law-mak
ing. He may not be expected, therefore, to
remain in the background as most new sen
ators do. taking notes until experience shall
make 1t safe to venture forward He will
probably feel very much at home from the
first
Shall we hear from him at an early day
in his service? 1t seems likely. The first
session of the Fifty eighth Congress will
develop the politicians on both sides. Cam
paign material will be in demand. and
these members either of the Senate or
House who most familiar with the art
of campaigning and the best judges of what
good material is will have an excellent OPP
portunity to present their views. Mr.. Stone
is ready speaker, and it will be strange if
he does not promptly offer some suggestions
along the lines of his well-known convic-
tons I.
Mr.. Bryan, then. who has. Do to speak,
been barred from the Senate, WILL after
the close of this Congress. have champion
there. And probably aggressive one.
His relations with Mr.. Stone have been so
close it has often been suggested that he
would be glad to have the Missourian step
into his shoes when he found himself no
longer able to wear them. That time seems
approaching. if. indeed, it has not already
arrived and this fact will lend additional
interest to whatever Mr.. Stone sena-
tor may say on the subject of the demmOc-
rags recent past and its early future

Something Must Give WAY.

From the New York Herald.
AS result OF the conference yesterday
between Mayor Low and the presidents OF
the companies that mine and transport an
thracite coal It seems likely that an In
creased supply will be furnished for the
very poor. who buy their fuel by the pailful.
The prospect is less brilliant for relief to
the multitude OF persons in moderate cir
cumstances who ordinarily purchase by the
ton. and who are now unable to pay the
extorttonate prices demanded. However.
Congress. the legislatures OF several states
and public-spirited citizens everywhere are
investtga ling the subject with an earnest
ness that should result in exposing those
who are Squeezing the public and bring
ing to light increased supplies. Public feel
ing on the subject Is now thoroughly
aroused. and when that occurs in this coun-
try something mist give way pretty quick
ly. The outlook is encouraging.

Mr.. Aldrich on Reciprocity.

Mr. DoIiiver a protectionist who, as a
member of he House. assisted in the prep
aration of the Dingley tariff bill. asks for
action on the reciprocity treaties now be-
fore the Senate. Mr.. Aldrich opposes action.
In a speech yesterday, in reply to one by
the Iowa senator the Rhode Island senator
said:
1T would rebound to the credit of the
Senate if the reciprocity treaties are passed
over in silence and the Senate should never
act on them. 1t was never for one moment
supposed by any member of the committee
on finance or by Mr. Dingiey and his asso-
ciateS that there was to be a surrender or
the principle Of protection"
The press report proceeds in these terms:
He said the intention of the reciprocity
section of the Dingley act was to make
agreements upon non-competitive products.
Mr.. Aldrich said he never expected re-
publican administration would negotiate
treaties which struck at the heart OF pro-
lection.
He described the pending reciprocity
treaties 'mongrei.' and announced him.
self in favor Of the reciprocity that Blaine
advocated.
These reciprocity treaties were nego-
tiated by direction Of Mr.. Mckinley under
authority conferred by the Dingley law.
They were examined by him and sent with
his approval to the Senate for action. He
desired their ratification. He knew their
contents and how they would affect Amer
lean trade. His Buffalo speech was made
In the full light of these treaties. and that
was his last deliverance to his countrymen.
Does Mr. Aldrich take the ground that Mr.
Mckinley gave his Endorsement to 'mongrer
conventions. and closed career of ex-
ceptional briliancy and usefulness in the
cause of protection by surrender Of the
principle of protection" We may fairly
infer this from his remarks and the facts
And yet it is an extraordinary proposition
for Mr.. Aldrich to advance. He has no
more credit today as friend of protection
than Mr.. Mckinley had the day he was
shot at Buffalo.
We should have something more explicit,
too. on the subject of the Blaine idea of
reciprocity. How does that differ from the
Mckinley idea? Mr.. Aldrich accepts the
one and rejects the other How would Mr..
Blaine have proceeded In the matter of ex-
tending our trade by means of reciprocity?
What would be the terms of the present
treaties If they had been negotiated under
his direction? Had Mr.. Blaine been Presi-
dent the reciprocity clause of the Dingley
law would have produced results of some
kind. Now of what kind. if the Mckinley
treaties are at fault?
But as Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Mckinley are
both dead, and the subject of reciprocity is
of such vital Importance. the question may
properly be put to Mr.. Aldrich as to his
own way of putting reciprocity into opera
ton. He rejects the Mckinley treaties.
How would he have drafted them? What
changes should be made? Or is it true
that reciprocity that reciprocates is not to
Mr.. Aldrich's liking? With these treaties
ha dacjr In hole AZ
and the Dingley rates to go on forever and
forever?

Short-weight Coal Dealers.

IF there Is more contemplate person
living than the coal dealer who deliberately
sell short-weight fuel 1t Is difficult to find
or to imagine him. In practically no other
lire OF trade is the customer so completely
at the dealers mercy. He has no means of
weighing the coal as 1t is stored In his bins,
especially as it is put In service and con-
sumed Immediately. Every dependence is
upon the integrity of the dealer, whose
scales, though under regular inspection. are
nevertheless susceptible to occasional fuc-
tuations. There Is no check save the memo
randum on the drivers delivsgy slip, which,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-01-14

as far as practical ends go. might as well
be omitted. There is no excuse for acci-
dents in the weighing Of coal. and shortage
in the weights must be accredited to de-
sire to make little more than the already
heavy profits accruing from the emergency.
The retailer who. In freezing weather. with
coal selling to the poor at the rate of $14
ton. will shorten the delivery by even five
pounds deserves far more than a mere fine
in court

in having your doubts but if he says he
isn't going to do something you can depend
