LATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

The trust makes big profits, the
foreign consumer buys American goods
at low figure and the American peo-
pie foot the bill. All of which goes 10
show that there is very intimate con-
nection between the trust and protec-
ton by tariff.-Indianap Sentinel.
Roosevelt was unpopular in New
York before he was made vice presi-
dent, and it cannot be pleaded that
Wall street had anything to do then
with his unpopularity. 1t is not an ap.
preciable factor in the opposition tc

but factional fight, intensified BY
Roosevelt's tactlessness, that is likely
to divide. the republican forces this

"A beautiful object lessen in the
tariff for the American people is in the
contract of a steel mill in the United
States to deliver at MontI cal 10000
tons of rains for the Canadian Pacific
railway at $21.25 ton. This, allow
ing for cost Of delivery, is $1S a ton
less than the cost to American pur-
chasers of steel rails at the mill. The
contract price to the Canadian Pacific
railway left margin of fair profit for
the manufacturers and all that ia
above this price is an iniquitous extor-
tion upon American consumers which
can be practiced only under cover Of a

ASTOUNDS THE MORMONS
The Effect of President Smiths Tes-
timony in Salt Lake.
Members of the Mormon Faith Are
Almost Parnlyked At the Reve-
lation of Their Secrets.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 6.-The
testimony given by President Smith,
head of the Mormon church, before
the senate committee, astounded both
Mormon and gentle. For years the
policy of the church has been one OF
secrecy, and President Smiths action
in boldly stating that not only him
self but the rest of the church officials
are living in open defiance of the law
has so amazed the members of the
Mormon faith that their tongues are
almost paralyzed.
The official organ of the Mormon
church praises President Smith and
savagely attacks the anti-Smoot peo-
pie. 1t accuses Attorney Tayler of try
ing to peer beneath the "bed clothing
of Mormon homes" and denounces him
for "prying into the private affairs of
President Smith and his fellow-polyga-
m;sts."
1t is known here that Smith was
compelled to make his confession be-
cause he had knowledge that the anti
Smoot people had clear case against
him and other church officials. There
was nothing else for him to do but
make a complete confession.

BYRON w. HOLT.
The Only WaV.

The republican party, which has
several times promised a revision Of
the tariff schedules, does not mean to
undertake that job during the present
session of congress. Senator SOONER
has so declared bluntly in a speech
in the senate. When Mr.. German asked
why, the answer was that it was be-
cause a presidential election is a dis
turber of business. We do not pre-
cisely see the connection, unless it be
between the republican campaign fund
and inaction in tariff reforms. The
Buffalo Times has the right idea when
1t says:
"The people are convinced that the
only way to secure proper tariff re-
form is to place the matter in the
hands of the democratic party, which
will fix the roof when the sun shines,
thus affording shelter from the storms
of republican monopoly, extravaganza
and ,nisrule. indianapolis Sentinel.

LATEST WAR NEWS
FROM THE ORIENT
Vladivostok Bombarded for Fifty
Five Minutes.
BATTERIES DID NOT REPLY
Russians Claim the Attack Was En-
tireIy Ineffective-AnOthe At
tack May he Expect
ed Soon.

Vladivostok, March IA fleet of five
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at l:25 o'clock
Sunday, and bombarded the town and
shore batteries for 55 minutes.
The feet approached from the direc-
ton of Askold island, at the east en-
trance to Ussuri bay and about thir-
ty-two miles southeast of Vladivostok.
Entering Ussuri bay, the enemy formed
a line of battle, but did not approach
to a closer range than mile and one
third. They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted, as most of their
200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries commanded
by Generals Veronetz anr Artamonoff,
did not reply, awaiting closer ap-
proach Of the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O p.
m, and the enemy retired in the di-
rection of Askold island.
simultaneously two torpedo boat de-
stroyers appeared near Askold island
and two more near Cape Maidel. The
Japanese ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
| Russians, but cost the enemy 100000
rubles ($100,000) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were and II inch
shells.
The population of Vladivostok was
warned Sunday morning of the pres
ence on the horizon of hostile fleet
and the prospect of attack during the
| day.

THINK FLEET is BOTTLED.
No News Concerning the VladivOstok
BOmba rdmeHt.

No News Concerning the yladivOstolS
Bombardment.
London, March There is not a
word yet from Japanese sources con-
cerning the Vladivostok bambardment.
The general deduction from the news
is that the Russian fleet is as effective
ly bottled up at Vladivostok as at Port
Arthur. Though the latter place has
not been attacked for some days, the
ships there have not shown the slight
est sign of daring to go out of the har-
Dor. This also suggests confederation
of the reports that the outlet is con-
siderably hampered by the vessels the
Japanese sank there.
Admiral Togo, in bombarding Vladf-
vostok, ic considered to have various
objects in view, first the hope of tempt
ing the Russian squadron to emerge,
with the view of attacking, and also to
learn the general condition of the forts.
Some experts suggest that the fact that
the Japanese ships were covered with
ice point to the likelihood that the
Russian squadron is frozen in, the ice
breaker not daring to work recently.
The consensus of opinion Is that the
Russian fleet is completely useless for
defensive purposes. Japanese mer-
chantmen and transports are going to
and from unarmed and unescorted.

MUCH OFFICIAL "GRAF'T."
Appropriations Diverted to Furnish
Carriages for Social and
Personal Use.

The official carriage" graft has re-
ceived considerable airing since the
subject was first brought up in con-
gress. The statements of the heads Of
departments show that there are SO
carriages and sc horses kept for the
use of department officials and that it
requires "a coachmen to drive these
carriages with their sumptuous furnish
ings in which the cabinet and minor
officials attend to their official and So
cial duties and their personal pleasure.
This number does not include those
used by the interior department or the
department of agriculture, which for
some unexplained reason were not
called upon by the house of represen-
tatives for information and volun-
teered none.
The department that is most lavish
in the number Of horses and carriages
used is that of commerce and labor,
which, considering it has only been in
existence about one year and already
employs eight horses and ten car
riages, may be expected to largely in
crease its luxurious way of doing
things when it reaches the age of even
the youngest of the other departments,
unless congress puts stop to the ex-
| travagance.
That this carriage graft has grad
ually grown under republican admins
| fro INIT oy,4 of 1ox
be seen from the returns which show
that only one out of "a men is carried
on the pay roll as driver" The other
23 are named in the appropriation bills
for more useful purposes, namely: One
as watchman, ten laborers, eight as
sistant messengers and four messen-
gers. So the labor of all but one of
the "a has been diverted from the busi-
ness that congress created the Office
for and even the new department Of
commerce and labor follows in the old
footsteps of demanding four messen-
gers and then using them for coach
men. The purchase Of carriages ard
horses are nearly all covered up under
similar guise, most of the appropria-
tions used for that purpose being
scheduled for transportation, or mis-
cellaneous expense.
But few will OBJECT to cabinet off,
GERS being furnished with horse and
carriage to allow them to attend cab
met meetings and other official func-
tions in appropriate style, but that
minor officials whose time should be
spent in their offices and who have nc
outside work to attend to, should have
these luxuries under false pretenses il
preposterous and should be cut off as
an excrescence more fit for monarchy
than a republic,

The Scramble in Ohio.

Senator Hanna had scarcely drawn
his last breath when scramble began
among Ohio republican politicians Tor
the place made vacant Dy his death.
There is an element Of the grossest in
decency displayed not to be looked for
except among the men who rule the
fortunes OF the republican party in
Ohio. To them when a n;an is dead he
is Just dead. and that is all there is to
it. And what is the use of waiting un-
til he is buried to seize his political
mantle? Not they; not these Ohio re-
publican politicians. No mawkish hon
sense about them. Each is afraid that
the other will get the start of him, and
according to the Ohio code that would
disgrace him. So he has his mouth
at the telephone ready for business as
soon as the word dead" is clicked
from the wires. 1t is shameful. Of
course, but the people Of our neighbor-
ing state have become used to shame
full things and expect them III the or

Chinese Robes.

Clouds and running water constantly
appear on the embroidered robes of the
grandees of the far east The way
these mysterious waves are made to
run straight across helps to tell ap-
proximately the date of the work. APP
parent trifles are of the highest impor-
tance. The director general of the
Yellow river. for instance, could not
don at random robe bearing an out
burst of water escaping from breach
above the level of the surrounding
country. 1t would be considered by
the superstitious bad omen or a
want of power in the officer to COM
troll the most ungovernable river of the

play on his garments calm, limpid wa
ter, made to glide horizontally.

Largest Oil Refinery In the
World at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 6.-The
Standard Oil Co.. is, it is said, to build
the largest oil refinery in the world at
Kansas City, and pipe oil from Kansas.
The refinery, it is stated is to be 10
Gated in what is known as the Sugar,
Creek valley, on the Missouri river,
ten miles south of the business center
of Kansas City, where 120 acres of land
have already been purchased. Survey
ors are now at work on the site, and
it is predicted that the plant will be
running by October next There is to
be an acid plant, paraffin works, tall
low works and various other facili-
ties for the manufacture of the prod
ucts of the crude oil. The plant will,
it is said, employ 100 men. A pipe
line that will carry the oil nearly 200
miles from Neodesha, Kas, is to be
built to the new refinery The deal for
the land is said to have been under
way for several months, and to have
been conducted with the utmost Sc
crecy.

Testing American Vines.

The production of sherry wine Is
confined to the district Of Jeres. Since
1890 the vintage has decreased so enor-
mously that unless the new vineyards
planted with American vines in the last
few years shall be a success in the
growth of grapes, the existence of this
great industry is near its end. In 1890
therA were produced 100000 gallons
in the district of Jeres. The vintage
has fallen off from year to year, until
the product of 1903 amounted to only
445,84S gallons.
