Editorial Notes.

Senator Beveridge imagines that
he will occupy the second place on
the next national republican ticket.
Senator Elkin's wide knowledge of
railroads has enabled him to frame
an equitable and far reaching anti
trust bill.
The western demand for tariff re-
vision is is dying away as time goes
on and the present tariff continues
to prove it's merits.
Senator Fairbanks deserves a great
credit for the persistence with which
he has fought the battles Of tie I'm
migration bill.
If an extra session of Congress
with it's great expense is forced the
blame will lie entirely with Senator
Quay and his democrat allies,
Of all the democratic Senators
only Senator Tillman has had the
good sense to see that the Statehood
fight is a useless waste of time.
There is an evident desire on the
par of foreign ambassadors and
ministers to cultivate the friendship
of the United States.
When Senator SpOoner had out
lined the real situation in regard to
the Indianola postoffice, there was
little left of the case of the southern
democrats.
Senator Hanna is made the sub
ject of many cartoons and the butt
of many jokes but his hard business
sense has often saved his party from
plumbers.
If Senator Quay could be persuad-
ed to discontinue his Statehood
BLOCKADE all necessary legislation
could accomplished before the 4th of
March.
The Presidents firm stand on Cub
an reciprocity has had it's effect in
Congress and ratification of the Cub
an treaty waits only for opportunity.
Things are getting to point
where the foreign ambassador to the
United States will not be regarded
as duly qualified unless he has an
American wife.
Secretary Hays Alaskan treaty
has been favorably reported and will
be ratified as soon as possible. It
will be a triumph for the Secretary
of State. m
The acceptance of the statues of
John Hanson and Charles Carroll Of
Callollton by Congress was made the
occasion of an eloquent Grafton by
Senator HOar.
The energetic work President
Roosevelt and Senator Hansbrough
in establishing a system of federal
irrigation has given an impetus to
every industry in the western coun-
try.
The publicity amendment to the de-
partment of commerce bill promises
to be adopted at an early date and
to constitute the first antitrust leg
islat;on of the session.
President Roosevelt's rigid appl-
cation of the civil service law has
resulted in saving senators and
members of the House from much
unnecessary worry and annoyance.
The republicans are in earnest
about passing the Ell1in's bill which
contains the most important recon-
mendation Of Attorney General
Knox, and will get it through if the
Statehood senators will permit.

Who Wrote Roosevelt's Speeches:
1t appears that our President was
OverwOrked and sadly in need of the
two weeks vacation which he got in
Yellowstone Park. He either did not
have time to prepare the speeches
which he knew the western people
would insist that he should make or.
what is more likely. the speeches that
he had prepared were rejected by his
cabinet and the leading Republicans Of
the Protective Tariff League, at the
conference held in the White House
just before he left on his 60-day tour,
and he had not time to write new
speeches. 1t will be remembered that
at this conference the ultimatum of the
Protective Tariff League was present
ed. 1t said in substance: IF you do
not abandon your tariff reform and tar
iff commission talk, you will not be
the Republican standard bearer in
1904"
The President being no fool in poll
tics and knowing full well the power
of this league, composed Of 1000 pro-
tected manufacturers, mostly In great
trusts, who pay yearly dues Of 500
each and many of whom contribute
thousands extra each year, quickly
abandoned the few lingering tariff re-
form ideas which he has cherished
since he resigned from the Free Trade
Club in New York in 1885. when he
deserted the Independent Democrats

tleman. aged 76, and whose home is in

For many years 1 was falling in

bracing my back, and could not sit only

chine
This sudden change of front. al
though it caused great rejoicing in the
high tariff camp. brought on new
crop of trouble for our strenuous Pres
ident. What was he to do? He could
not well give up his trip and disappOint
his thousands of admirers. He would
certainly be expected to make speeches
and it would never do to try to work
over those which had suddenly become
back numbers The situation was
embarrassing in the extreme. when
some Of his Republican friends. who
had always been "stand-patters' on the
tariff, came to his relief. and then and
there rendered him choice lot of their
old speeches. all approved by the Tar
iff League. These were promptly read
and approved and the President was
authorized to make minor changes in
the verbiage to imbue them somewhat
with his own peculiar individuality.
The President expressed his de
light" at this evidence of warm pOlit-
Ical friendship and started on his west
ern trip as happy and light-hearted as
4 school boy on Christmas vacation.
The following comparison of the
Presidents speech a. Minneapolis with
the speech of Secretary of War Root.
at Cooper Union. last October, shows
how faithfully the President kept his
pledge to the Protective Tariff League:

A Regular BOarder.

generally credited with. The Phila-
delphia Record is responsible for the
following:
Three years ago farmer named An
derson found large frog in front of
the springhouse, and when the milk
maid opened the door to put her pail
of milk in the spring the frog hoped

peared at the first sign Of frost and
made his winter he'd in the spring

But the farmer desired to make an ex-

in a wagon and carried to a place a
mile down the road. There he was
left.
Before evening he was back again.
The milkman found him at sunset
seated before the springhOuse door,
waiting patiently to be let In.

BIG TRADE IN BANANAS.
No Other Fruit Finds Such a Ready
Sale in New York

NO Other Fruit Finds Such a Ready
Sale in New York.
Sixty thousand punches of bananas
are brought into New York every day
by one company alone, according to a
writer In the Times. That number of
punches means about 100000 banan-
as, and many more millions are brougt
as, and many millions more are
brought by boats other than those Of
this one company. No other fruit
sells so well In America as the ba-
mana, and the captain of one of the
numerous steamships plying between
here and the West Indies is authority
for the statement that no other people
i'll the world as as fond of the fruit as
New Workers.
1t is an interesting sight to watch
the arrival and unloading of a ba-
mana boat. The first thing that at
tracts attention Is the total absence of
ripe fruit. Thousands and thousan ands
Of punches are lifted out Of the hold
and piled on the vehicles. but all are
green bananas. Over in one corner
Of the pier are dumped several hun
dred punches condemned as worthless.
There you can see some yellow ones
occasionally because the buyers refuse
to take them away.
AS soon as the boat Is fast to the
pier the buyers all rush on board to
examine the fruit. They "size up" in
a glance the value Of the green ba.
nanas and then buy whatever guam
tity they want. The demand is often
so great that dozens Of buyers so away
unsatisfied. the preference always be-
ing given to those who purchase large
quantities. The price at wholesale va.
ries anywhere from so cents to So
bunch, according to the quality.
If native American or Englishmap
happens to be at the unloading Of
banana boat and listens to a group of
merchants talking it is seldom that he
hears his own tongue spoken. The
men high up in the banana industry.
rs we'll as the venders who push carts
through the streets, usually hail from
sunny Italy. Indeed, 1t Is not an un.
usual thing for a peddler, through dis.
play Of good business sense, to rise
from his humble position to one Of con.
siderable wealth as fruit merchant.
The average banana-laden steamboat
has carrying capacity Of about $4,000
punches. They are kept up on one
end as nearly as possible, so that they
can remain in the same position in
which they grew. The ripening pc
Rod is usually spent in the whole
sale fruit houses near the water front.
After they are ripe the bananas ure
distributed among the retail stores
throughout the city and 1t is only the
"left-overs" that go to the street ven
ders.
The usual custom of the owners of
cargo Of bananas is to sell them on ar
rival at one price to all buyers. Occa
sionally, though, pier is the scene Of
n spirited banana auction. The buy
ers, with gestures and exclamatiOns
characteristic Of Latins, bid excitedly
on large quantities Of the fruit. and
occasionally, to outdo one another,
they end by giving much more than
the bananas are really worth.

through wearing a certain kind of
metal ring would he surprised perhaps
to hear that they are keeping alive
an old superstition that owed its origin
to one of the ceremonies performed on
Good Friday. The ceremony was
called the Blessing of the Cramp
Rings, and was carried out by the
kins himself. who went into his
private chapel. accompanied only by
his Grand Almoner. crswled on his
knees to the crucifix, and there blessed
a silver bowl full of gold and silver
rings. These rings We're afterward
distributed to people who were affiict-

idea is supposed to have originated in

WHEN HIS WIFE "sTRUcK.'

Walking Delegate Sees How 1t Looks
from the Other Side.
The walking delegate never tired Of
talking about the strike. He held that
it was iustifiable if ever a strike was.
and he was prepared to demonstrate
that it was perfectly proper to strike
to secure a desired result. He told his
wife so, says the Albany Argus, and
she appeared to agree with him. She
said it seemed the easiest way.
That night when he came home he
found that the table was not set.
Il want new dress" she said, when
he asked what the trouble was.
Il know. You've been bothering me
for that dress for a month";" he said;
but how about supper:'

You're the judge of your own de

strike is on"
She folded her arms in determined
way, and he subsided. 1t was perhaps
half an hour later when he looked up
and said:
"well. what are you going to do about

"Nothing," she replied. "The strike is

1t was 10 o'clock that night when he

he had experienced a new phase of the

'PE=RU=NA SAVED MY LIFE"

Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs Is Free

Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the

ITO the woman of ancient Israel not
to become mother was regarded
as the greatest of earthly calamities.
To become mother-more especially
the mother of a strong. healthy boy
was the height of glory for the faithful
woman of the good old Bible days.
Even now, when maternity is not es-
teemed as of yore. the mother of healthy
children is an object of admiration, and
sometimes envy, by her neighbors. AS

average American woman has low ap-
probation of motherhood. There are,
