A REPUBLICAN WARNING.

Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin,
chairman of the republican congress
sional campaign committee, has in a
measure replied to some of the mo
tariff tinkering' speeches of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
Mr.. Babcock is a western man and
knows the feeling of most westerners
on the tariff question, and that although
many of the republicans are still in
favor of protection, that they are bit
terly opposed to over protection. He
says:
''At the last congressional election,
the republican party lost practically
every city district IN the country. The
generally accepted explanation was
that the price of commodities had gone
up, that the city man was the salaried
man and his wage had not kept pace
with the cost of living In the country
that condition did not prevail. But
imagine what would happen if the
American cereal crop should fail. or if
the European cereal crop should be
unusually large. This city condition
would then be practically universal"
Mr.. Babcock then goes on to saw
that the republican party should be
warned in time. That 1t should
'abide strictly by it's fundamental
principle of protection and not over
protection.
This MEANS says he, ''that if it
costs one dollar to manufacture an
article abroad and one dollar and
twenty-five cents to manufacture the
same article in the United States. the
tariff on that article should be TWENTY
five cents. The minute the tariff |
exceeds the difference in cost of manu-
facture between the two countries, that
minute 1t fosters monopoly. The iron
and steel industry is the great example
of this fact. Heavy castings in steel
and iron can be produced in the United
States for less money than any country
II the world, yet there is tariff of
nearly $500 ton on these same pro-
lucts. This means that the American
consumer of steel is required to pay to
he American manufacturer of steel at
east five dollars on each ton pur
hased. In the aggregate this amounts
o over $50, 900, 900 a year. The glass
industry presents another example on
he same line. A few years ago YOU
Guild buy a box of glass for something
ike 90 cents. Today it costs in the
of $3.50. When condi-
ions change to this extent of fostering
UGH conditions as these, it is the part
f political wisdom and patriotism to
hange these particular tariff sched- ,

Hanged Iii,nsclrs Smoking.

At Philadelphia, Pa, Tony Wander,
Il baker, hanged himself here and
while dying calmly smoked corncob
pipe. When the body was discovered
Il patroman was called in and he cut
the rop,. 1t was then noticed that
Wander'S lips were closed on Il new
corncob pipe, the teeth being So tight
ly clcnchcd that force was necessary
TO pry them apart. Beneath the
corpse lay a half-tillcd bottle Of beer
and partly burned match. IL was
plain that Wander had indulgcd in Il
farewell drink and smoke before tax
ing his life. Investigation showed
that Wander cut a piece Of sash cord
from an entry window, and after nd
Jllsting one cnd about Il gas pipe in
the cellar had fashioned moose about
his neck. Then he slipped the beer,
and lighting his pipe had calmly
pulled away until Inconsistencies
came.

Fencing Off Negroes.

After all there is not much differ.
encc between ourselves and the re,.
pie we call Yankees. We all belong
to the same great race of people aud
inherit pretty much the same ideas Of
things IN general. Believing this
with all our soul, we are not at all
surprised TO find the white people Of
the North arraying themselves against
the negro us q race as they bccume
better acquainted with him In his
social and industrial life This is the
reason that wealthy New Workers
have drawn the color line so sharply
against negro residents at Babylon,
l.. l., where many persons we'll known
in society and business have their
summer homes.
a tenement house occupied by he
groes has long been an eyesore to the
members OF Christ Episcopal Church,
one or the most fashiona bic IN tile
Long Island diOcese Of Bishop Bur
CESS. The vcstry tried TO buy the
property On which Ghc tene ment house
stands and offered $4,000. but it is
said the owners, Mrs. keenan,, or
brooklyn, asked $1,000 fnr the prop r.
~. Edwin lIa"ley, wealthy railroad
man, who owns Il large estate on tie
other side of Mrs. Kccnan's property,
tried To purchase it, but failed. Two
months ago he put up Il high fence to
shut ont from view the tenement
house. which Is old and dilapitlated.
This week the ycstry OF the church
began the erection Of board fences, u
feet high and l5i feet long, on the
east line Uf the church property to
screen from view the tenement.
This tenement property comprises
less than three-quartcrs OF an acre
and is situated on the old South Coun.
try road, IN the most fashionable sec
ton. The house, which occupies
nearly the entire front Of the prope r.
ty, is two stories high. IL has no
front yard, the house being within Il
few feet OF the roadway. rhe tenc-
ment has not in Il long period been a
dividend payer to any great extent,
aud for some years has been occupied
by negroes. TEiS incident shows that
the white people of New York does
not want TO get too close to the he
gro any morN than the Southern white
man does. 1t also shows that the
same feeling exists at the North and
the South on the negro question, and
rs time goes Oh the feeling at the
North is going to become more intense
against the negro than at the South.
a least this is the way it looks to us.

MAKES A FULL CONFESSION.
The Missouri Legislature Seems to
be n Den ofThicvcs.

The Missouri Legislature must lie a
veritablc den or thieves. Friday at
st. Louis unable to bear the mental
strain OF torture which he says he has
suffered since the grand Jury inveS-
tigation into legislative boodIing was
instituted, former State Senator Fred
l.. Buschc went before Circuit Attor-
ney Folk Friday afternoon and made
Il complete and far-reaching confes-
Sion or his connection with corrupt
deals extending over Il period OF eight
years. l.uSchc'S declarations involve
several men uf prominence and he
names those who have been cunsp:c-
nous at the State capitol as diStribu-
tors OF Doodle.
Later Buschc was taken before the
grand jury, where he remained an
hour. When he emerged from tile
jury room tears were streaming down
his checks. With his face buried in
his handkerchief he hurried away.
II had to do these things,n said
ISusche in relating his story to the at
torney. The were circumstances
that made a fellow take money or else
get the worst of it,
Busche then told OF his connection
with legislation four years ago II :
prcfaced his remarks by saying that
all sorts of money was used at that
time to influence legislation.
Money" he said, ''was offered on
pretty nearly everything of impor-
tance. The steam and street rail
way interests were always very active,
and their representatives paid u.s.
Going back to the thirty eighth as
scmblv- when the bill to create a
school book commission was one OF the
principal issues before the legislature,

put up big fund.

I;endY for Wnr,

a dispatch from Washington SAYS
for Sreral months past the general
board OF the navy or which Admiral
George Dewey is the president and
Rear Admiral Henry G. Taylor the
next r;lnking officer, has been at. work
making plans for the defense Of the
Philippine Islands aud for naval cam
paign III tile event OF war with RuSSin.
1t is understood that the opinion of
the general board relative to what
should be done at the event Of Il con
1iict with Russia over Manchuria has
been prepared and submitted to Ac-
ting Secretary uf the Navy Darling.
Although few naval officers believe
that the United States will lit any
time i'll the near future have war with
Russia, it was deemed necessary, in
view Of the uncertainty still existing
relative to Russia's final actions in
Manchuria, to prepare u probable plan
OF campaign against that cQHdtry. In
the opinion Of the, general zbbard the

waters and in Man ;hnfia.
Regarding the. recommendation or
the general board for the defense OF
Manila and other ports of the Philip
pines. they will probably beignorcd,
unless the Navy Department. should
deem it necessary to make some re-
concentrations along this line to
Congress. In such an event, the War
department would certainly make a
vigorous protest and call attention to
the fact that the engineers Of the
army arc now busiiy engaged in devils
Ing plans to defend Manila and the
coast Of the Philippines. The officers
OF the army realize, us well as theil
brethren in the navy, that in the
event OF war with Russia OF Germany
the Philippines would be The vulner-
able point Of attact by the enemy.
Let us all dcvoutly pray that this
country will not now Or at any other
time become cnvolved in a war with
Russia or any other nation.
