Switch on Tariff.


MANY Republicans are dissatisfied
with his course on the tariff. In his
writings he inveighed against high
tariffs and almost committed himself
10 the Democratic view, but in order
to placate the trusts and the bench
Charles of the tariff system he has
abandoned his former views and stands
now for exorbitant tariff rates. Those
who We're committed to what is called
the Iowa idea so fully elucidated by
Governor CumInins, looked to Presi-
dent Roosevelt for support in order to
mitigate the evils so apparent in the
present tariff schedules, but, as stated,
he has completely changed his position
and now leads the procession in favor
of the present Ubiquitous duties. He is
openly charged with having violated his
promise to carry out the policy an
nounced by President Mckinley in his
last speech, namely. to reduce the tariff
and to negotiate reciprocity treaties
with foreign countries. Mr. Mckinley
realized that the time had come. if this
country was TO be saved from the
clutches of criminal trust organiZa-
TONS and If foreign markets for Amer
lean products were to be extended, that
a material modification of the existing
tariff laws must be made, and that true
reciprocity with foreign nations, par
llCuldIlg &dududs NItdl DIllaln anu
South American republics. must be es-
tablished.
ITO this end President Mckinley be-
gan negotiations for reciprocity trea-
ties. Mr.. Roosevelt has nullifed this
entire work and has prevented the rati-
fcation of some of the treaties negO-
tiated by the American representative.
Mr.. Kasson- There is a strong feeling
among leading Republicans that the
views of Mr.. Mckinley were the proper
ones and that the Republican party has
been dominated too much by the bene-
ficiaries Of the tariff system, and is too
much controlled by the trusts In the
United States. Mr.. Roosevelt has lost
caste among this element because of
his complete capitulation to the de-
mands of the trusts and the tariff ex-
tortiOnists. For these and many other
reasons ne is not as strong today as
he was one year ago, and his nOmina-
ton will not be the result Of a demand
on the part of the Republicans gen
orally so much as because conditions
make him the most available candi-
date"
Judge King said he did not believe he
would be subpoenaed as a witness in
the SmoOt case. as has been iDtimated
IN Salt Lake. He found industrial con-
ditions rather quiet in the east. with
a noticeable absence of that prosperity
which the Republican politicians main
tain is an actually. Many large con-
Germs, Judge King says, are steadily
cutting wages, and working men have
great difficulty in finding employment.

by persons who had made some in
vestigation that Senator Smoot would
be unseated. / am firmly Of the belief
that he VIII not be unseated- 1t is
possible legislation more or less dras-
tic in character may be proposed as
result OF the investigation. SIN, from
all that 1 could ascertain, / think the
excitement caused by the testimony OF
the witnesses already examined is

dispassionate judgment is obtained.

Roosevelt Losing Ground.
Roosevelt win be nominated by ac-
clamatiOD. II is likely that Fairbanks
viii be nominated for vice president by
the Republicans. There is no question
but that Hanna, had he lived would
have been the presidential nominee be-
cause Of the strong undercurrent
against Roosevelt. I talked with many
prominent Republicans. and found that
they Will support Roosevelt reluctantly.
Roosevelt has lost ground. He has not
the strength he had a year ago. He is
so dogmatic and autocratic that he has
alienated many people. Many leading
Republicans feel he has been guilty of
executive uSurpatiOn, and believe his
election for four years Will make him
so autocratic that they are afraid to
support him.
Many congressman feel he is ag-
grandizing the executive department
and debasing particularly the legis-
Iative branch of the government. It is
felt by many that his instincts are
military. that he represents the lingo
spirit of the time and that his policies,
If unrestrained, will lead to interna-
tional complications. He is regarded,
therefore. as unsafe and uncertain. He
doesn't have any fixed and settled poll
cy, but is erratic and reaches conclu-
sions without due elaboration. He is
too emotional, too self-assertive, too
combative, too DomDOus and is filed
with intense egotism- Opposition 10 his
views fills him with intense enmity,
and the counsel and advice of conserv-
ative Republicans receive scant con-
Sideration.

station which stated that the morning
train would leave at "8 o'clock or
thereabouts." This meant that 1t
might go at s sharp, or three or four
hours afterward. If one Of the of
ficials happened to be going up the
line, and notion to hurry struck him,
he might order the train out an hour
ahead of time. Those two words "or
thereabouts' could be given very
broad Interpretation when necessary,
and used to cover up a multitude of
Irregularities in the timetable.
The printed passenger regulations of
the railroad revealed some astonishing
privileges. 1t quoted the rates for
first, second. third and fourth-class
passengers, and stated that travellers
Of the fourth class might carry one
rooster or one pig, provided the
rooster was concealed in a sack, or the
pigs nose was tied so 1t could not
squeal. The regulations authorized a
traveller Of the third class to carry
both a rooster and a pig, if they were
properly sacked and gagged.
The cost of constructing some of
these little "jerk-water" lines was
enormous. A contractor told me that
5000 laborers died while he was build
ing lis miles of track thru a swamp.

get back to the trenche he did not
shirk again, and on that job, from that
time on, all that was necessary to
arouse some idler was to ask him If
he wanted to come up in the shade
and rest.
The tnnumerable feast days cause
much trouble among the laborers.
They hate to work on a holiday. One
contractor solved the problem by hav-
ing priest come to say early mass
on the works, and giving his men a
sort Of barbecue later in the day. He
gave them several sheep to kill, and
several kegs Of rum to drink after
the days work was done. They al
ways had jolly spree of 1t, but it
did not matter so long as their usual
time had been put in. These natives
turn every function into a feast They
have just as good a, time at a funeral

One evening he came around quite
dressed up and invited me to his
house. He said his brother was dead
and the family were going to give "a

attend the gathering It proved to
be a sort Of wake. The corpse was
laid out in one Of the front rooms.
When the guests arrived they would
go in and take a look at the dead body,
never failing to mention how natural
he looked, and what a bright boy he
had been when he was alive. This

played kissing and hugging games all

day as having been q very jolly party.
Customs of Old Days.
The customs Of these days are very
tame indeed compared with those Of
the barbarains who were the ancestors
OF the poor Wretches we see about us
now. When the Spaniards invaded the
temples Of the Inca sovereigns, during
their search for treasure, they invari-
ably found room where human be-
lngs had been sacrificed. It was al
ways q veritable chamber Of horrors.
In some dark corner would be the
ugly, wooden idol in whose name all
this needless slaughter was commit
ted. The cannibal ceremonies Of the
past have been gradually reduced to
harmless wakes at funerals, and whole
sale sprees, in which all hands get as
jolly full as their hides will hold.
Famous Chincha Islands.
The Chincha islands are pointed out
to every passenger on the ships which
sail down the coast Of Peru. They are
volcanic rocks sticking out of the
water, and are famed for the large
quantities of guano which were for
merly deposited on them. Twenty
five years ago this stuff sold for 500
per ton. and it's sale in the markets
Of the world brought more money
into the treasury Of Peru than any
gold mine on earth has ever produced.

Senator Nelson and the Chief.
Senator Knute Nelson, in company with
his friend, the late distinguished traveller,
explorer and author, Paul du Chaillu, paid
visit to this reservation at a time when
the schools were in state of neglect. The
old chief brought his most persuasive ar
guments to bear on the needs of better
facilities for his people and begged his dis
tinguished guest to lend his influence in
this direction.
Senator Nelson listened with much at
tention and then and there promised that
when next he went to Washington the
Chtppewas should be provided with good
school buildings. The present substantial
agency boarding school, the pride Of the
people Of White Earth, stands as a splen-
