General Miles Stumbled.

No administration has ever perpe-
trated so shabby trick as the pres
ent one in refusing to say a word Of
praise for Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles on his retirement for age by
operation of the law of 1882. After
forty-two years faithfully serving the
United States and by virtue Of his dis
tinguished services from a private to
the highest command, he is allowed
to retire without the usual compli-
ments. When General Schofield was
retired President Cleveland paid a
warm tribute to his gallantry and
faithful services. President Roosevelt
at the instance Of the ruling cabal,
headed by Root and Corbin, who are
not worthy to wipe the dust from the
boots Of General Miles, joins them in
trying to humiliate the man who
fought upon hundred fields without
fear and without reproach. The per
sistent efforts TO exasperate and be-

with Spain and since was due to jeal-

Reci,:rocity Promiaes.

The drift of the Republican lSs'ers
from reciprocity to which they s ere
s-rdently committed under the leader
ship of Blaine and indorsed by MeKin-
ley, is reversal OF party policy that
Is remarkable. When Mr.. Dingley and
his Republican associates devised the
tariff bin of 1897, they Incorporated in
It a reciprocity clause and from the
unanimity with which the bill was
passed, the whole Republican party
appeared to indorse it. To appease
the natra protectlonists many of the
duties provided for in the schedules
We're purposely placed beyond the
bounds of reasonable protection. in
some cases highert than the protected
interests asked for, so that when the
rates We're revised by reciprocity
treaties they would still be high
enough to protect the tariff barons
from foreign competition. The bill
having expressly provided for reci-
prOcity treaties, the Mckinley admin
istration at once proceeded to nego-
tate with foreign countries. Treaties
were made with nearly every country.
but the Senate refused to ratify them
and the schedules are still retained at
the extreme high rates.
This evasion of the intent and the
letter of the Dingley bill is a fraud
upon the taxpayers of the country.

Mountaineering at Home.

The London Oxygen Hospital' has
been very successfully brought to pub
lie attention lately By benefit ball at
which the air was purified by ozone.
This hospital is eight years old and
has for three years tackled the prob
lem of consumption.
1t is now treating consumption with
alpine air" even in London. by put
ting them into plate glass cubicles TO
which air is led by a fan after careful
modification. 1t is first filtered through
cotton wool. which frees it of microbes
and particles of dust, so that the pa
TENTS lungs are not subjected to a
co~stant accumulation of solid par
tieles.
1t then passes through calcium
chloride. which absolutely dries it;
and. lastly. a clock, connected with an
electrical battery, generates ozone for
five minutes OF every quarter of an
hour.
Ozone is a more powerful form Of
the oxygen present in Alpine and
country air. but soon destroyed in
towns. It's direct value IS probably
over-estimated, it being rather cri-
terion cf purity than valuable in itself.
The cubicles at the Oxygen Hospital
are excellently conceived and have
already recorded some cures.-New

Deep Tones For All Men Merely a
Matter Of a little Training.

Men with squeaky voices need not
despair of talking like their fellows.
If they continue to have such piping
voices. it is their own fault, says the
New York Sun.
"One of the best known elocution-
lists in this country" said the pro-
fessor who did the trick for him,
used to have thin treble voice that
would have made success out of the
question for him. He was gifted
with considerable talent in other ways
and wanted TO overcome his vocal
deficiencies when he came to me-
1T took courage to attempt the
change of a voice like that, but / told
him that the effort was worth while
| knew, of course, that his voice, like
all such voices. was badly placed.
Placing the voice is, of course, the
most important thing about a singer
and the voice that is not well placed
viii not last, however fine it may be
by nature. Some voices are naturally
placed, but ordinarily it is the plac-
ing of the voice that is the most i'm
pcrtant part Of the singing teachers
task.
What a difference it makes in a
voice may be gathered from the fact
that a high soprano now before the
public was a contraltU when she went
to her teacher. He realized the mis-
take that had been made in placing
her voice and changed all that had
been done and made her a soprano.
We'll. these men with the piping,
suueaking voices have had their voices
badly placed by nature. When that
fault is corrected they viii talk as they
should.
Il begin with singing exercises
whether my clients have singing
voices or not l work them Just as
would if they were preparing TO sing.
The case OF the elocutionist was
almost the worst that ever had But
within a year be came around all
right. It is not merely that the voice
becomes lower. fuller and more mel
low. but the lower tones gather
strength and power.
= have found this all to be the Ger
tain result OF these exercises. / have
never known a case 10 fail
Because a man is unfortunate
enought to have his voice too high in
his head and TO talk always up there
instead OF down in his throat is no
reason Why he should 60 through life
talking SO. He can make his voice as
deep as the next mans By taking q
little trouble"

machinery of legislation to the detri-

machinery of legislation to the detri-
ment of the many who pay the tax or
the exorbitant profit to the trusts.
The Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives is selected, and the commit
tees are appointed, to conserve the in
terests of monopolistic combinations.
President Roosevelt falls into line with
the majority and agrees that we must
''let we'll enough alone"
The symptoms of revolt against this
policy amongst the Republican leaders
has been curbed, but in the minds of
the people it is rampant and cannot be
obliterated by the actions of President
or Congress. The promise to reform
the iniquities Of the tariff after cleo
form of the Republican national con-
vention, but the evident intention be-
ing to catch the votes of reformers and
then still ''let well enough alone,' will
be toe palpable TO fool the voters.
High trust prices are an object lesson
that too many are suffering from and
the promise of reform at some distant
date will hardly curb their Impotence.
When the tariff barons refuse to al
low the ratification of the reciprocity
treaties which were intended to aid
our export trade how can the Republi-
cans, no matter what promises they
may make in national platform, be ex-
pected TO revise the tariff? When they
decline to carry out a law Of their own
making which would reduce in small
measure the profits of two or three
small monopolies, of what value are
their promises TO pass a law that
would force competition on all the tar
if monopoliists.
With the Republican majority in
Congress. bound by letters of steel to
the tariff barons. it is absurd to ex-
pect them to strike off the shackles,
and they never will do it.

the, 'unenumerated manufactured ar
ticles" were subject to the 20 per cent
duty ad valorem- The Appraiser OF
the Port-a Quay Republican machine
politician. had no knowledge of the
value of mummies, so the matter was
referred to Washington. In the Treas
ury Department there are many live

Of their services led them to put an ex-
allied value on the mummy reposlng in
state at Philadelphia. The importer of
the mummy demanded that it should
be admitted free under the classified
ton of skeletons and other prepare
lions Of anatomy" The case was APP
pealed to the General Board Of Ap-
praisers. who overruled the Collector
of the Port Of Philadelphia and held
that the mummy could be admitted
free of duty.
1t now appears that the mummy was
bogus one manufactured in Egypt,
where the Industry has just been
started to supply the American de-
mand for the real thing, genuine num-
mics being scarce and dear and the
demand increasing. Here is the chance
for the American Protective League to
demand that the tariff bill shall be
amended so that a protective duty of
at least 500 on each mummy and 80
per cent ad valorem be imposed to
build up the mummy industry in this
country. We could import the neces-
sary number of workmen from Egypt,
skilled in the manufacturing of mum
mics, and keep the money that some
people evidently will spend for those
luxuries and build up another industry
to the commercial supremacy of the
United States.
