A white leg behind and very light shoe
With stride that is frictionless. airy end bold.

Which sparkle and iutter on destiny's shield.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
Reverting 10 your editorial in issue Of 10th
instant, The Appearance Of the Police Force"
! must say that as a body they make the
poorest appearance from every standpoint Of any
similar body Of men I've ever seen-and I've
visited and lived in a large number Of towns
and cities in different states. The bicycle po-
lice make the best showing in general, and
amongst the others there are some fine look
ing fellows and some who make decent APP
Pesrsnce. But there certainly is large
number Of slovenly, ungainly, and far from
intelligent-looking policemen in this. the Capt
tai City
Washington, whilst not the most cultured nor
by any means the most moral, is certainly the
most beautiful and interesting Of cities. It
seems 10 me, therefore, there ought 10 be enough
civic pride here to have the best-looking and
most efficient body OF policemen of any city in
The country, instead Of the many uncouth
looking fellows there are, who would easily
take the palm at ce -eless baton twirling. un-
graceful poses, and Sowing looks.
Little wonder there is trouble in securing
decent applicants for the vacancies on the force
The reason is self-e-ident / believe a little
stirring up in the press viii have a beneficial
effect, even though il only results in clear
shoes, an erect carriage, smiling faces, and
rest for those bstons. Aw. O'C.

The Hoar Idea.
The Massachusetts Senator Advises De-
lay in Making Tariff Changes.


The sentiment for tariff revision
which seems to have spent much of
its fc~oe in Iowa and elsewhere
thro ghOut the West has broken out
in a new and somewhat unexpected
quarter. We now find that most
conservative of New England states
man, the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar,
declaring with the emphasis which is
characteristic of his clean-cut utter
ances, that revision Of the tariff is
necessary, as necessary as it is for
Massachusetts TO revise her statutes"
The only exception which the
friends of revision are likely to take
to the Hoar idea is that he would too
long defer carrying it into execution.
Wait until after the Presidential cleo
ton, is what he advises. This would
mean that nearly three years must
elapse before a remedy can be APP
piled to the evils in the present sched-
ules which the venerable Massa.
chusetts Senator recognizes as already
existing.
Of course, Congress in Its short ses-
sion Immediately after the national
contest of next year could not be ey-
pected to prepare and pass a meas
ure revising the duties, and thus It
would be necessary to pc-tpone the
matter until December. 1905. Mean
while the surplus will continue TO pile
up in the Treasury, and there will be
no cessation in the clamor of the Wall
Street brokers to get at the money.
IT is difficult to perceive the course
of reasoning by which Senator Hoar,
who comedies the need of changes IT,
the tariff, reaches the conclusion that
il is best TO delay making them. If
the tariff duties were too low, if they
were not sufficient 10 insure that de-
gree of protection which he believes
Il essential 10 the prosperity of the
country, or to provide sufficient
revenue 10 maintain the Governments
expenses, would Senator Hoar then
advocate a postponement Of the mat
teri Quite likely he would not; on
the contrary he would doubtless be
one Of those who would urge that
Congress take up the subject at the
beginning of the coming session and
act upon it promptly.

With regard to the rumors which are

affairs, IS about 10 make way for Baron
Isvolski, now minister at Copenhagen. IL
may be we'll to recall that at the time
OF the death of Count Mouravieff he was
universally regarded as destined to take
his place at the head of the foreign de-
partment at 81. Petersburg, and most
of the European illustrated papers even
went so far as 20 publish his portraits
as those of Mouravieff's successor.
Isyolski Is much younger than Count
Lamsdorff. and il I may be permitted
the expression, more abreast OF the
times. He won his spurs as representa-

most delicate character with so much
adroitness as to win the good will both
