I'll { Buttinsky.

@AA~ 00SsAAJ~
We have all heard of the Buttin-
sky. We cannot helpit He won't
let us forget him. Like Banquo's
ghost he will not down. 1t would
be very backward community that
did not have one or more of these
oracles.
Advice to give away they have in
vast quantities; it is as free as the
air and you do not even have to ask
for it. They are so self-sacrlficlng
that their own business is second
airy matter as long as they can butt
in to matters which haye to do en-
tirely with other people. They are
necessarily people of vast learning
and experience else they could not
explain all things to all men at all
times and under all conditions.
In their eager desire to be of SER
vice to the public they override all
formallties, send courtesy to the
hack benches and rush in where
angels fear to tread.
The faith which they have in
themselves is one of the beautiful
things of this world. The quaint
old philosopher has said, est Is bet
ter not to know 50 much than to
know SO much that amt So" Yet
the buttinsky never knows that he
don't know.
History might be wrong but not
he; Nature might get tangled up in
some of her laws and jar the
universe, but he, perish tie thought
that he should ever be mistaken.
This is not like the question OF
ssthe rich and the poor, the cause
and the cure,o for there is no cure.
We must be resigned to our fate.
! Dunn Spiro Spero, does not apply IN
/ this case.

The War in the East.

There are various rumors and
reports of another attack on the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur by the
Japs in which several Russian war
vessels were disabled. The Rus
slams seem to know nothing about
the matter.
There have been several slight
skirmishes on land but nothing of
any consequence.
The Japs seem to be beating the
Russians to all the strategic points
in Corea. 1t looks like there must
be meeting of land forces before
long.
The Russians at Port Arthur are
becoming apprehensive and the
commanding general has issued no
surrender proclamation, urging his
men to die hghtlng. This looks
very much like they realize that the
facts are against them. The French
seem to be flirting with Russia and
the Russians seem to be very sore
on the United States, from the tone
of the press.
Uncle Sam seems to be watching
the scrap closely but to be main
tanning strick neutrality. Some
Russian sympathizer must have
noticed the old gentleman wink at a
gay Jap maiden. That is the only
ground on which they can claim a
violation of the laws of neutrality.

Wanting in Discretion.

if continued in power, will keep
abreast of the times in the Tariff,
as In all other matters, would not be
Objectionable, but the introduction
of the Tariff as a campaign issue
would be pleasing only to those
whs find delight in fsmenting
trouble. Business will not thrive
under Tariff agitation. The indus
tries do not prosper. New enter
prises are held back, old enterprises
wait fer develepnents. The un-
certainty as to what the result will
be keeps everybody on the renter
hooks, and everybody suffers. A
presidential campaign under any
circumstances is unsatisfactory from
business and industrial standpoint,
and to introduce the Tariff will be
to make it worse. Governor

sincerity, but his discretisP is not

Oh Well Inspector.

The law with reference to plug
ging abandoned wells in the oil
field seems to be sufficiently severe
but stops short of the essential
point. 1t provides no officer to see
that the regulations are complied
with.
There are serious complaints of
gas wells and oil wells in this field
being ruined by sepage of salt
water from improperly plugged
abandoned holes.
There should be state inspectors
appointed in every locality to per-
sonally supervise the plugging of
every abandoned well. This city is
now having serious trouble with two
of its good gas wells, presumably
caused by sepage of salt water
from abandoned wells drilled near
by other companies. There is also
report of oil wells north of the
city being damaged from the same
cause.
This is a matter in which every
land owner and every operator In the
gas and oil belt is vitally interested
and our next legislature should see
to it that efficient state inspection is
provided for.

How Protection Works.

table just issued by the bureau of
statistics, showing the amount
the exports and imports of the
United States for the last decade,
is the revelation that the increase
in our exports to each of the grand
divisions of the globe has notably
exceeded the increase in our i'm.
ports from each of them. Thus
from 1898 to 1894, there was an
increase in exports to Europe of
over S4oo, 900, 900, while the IN
crease in imports from that CONT
nent reached only sr35, 900, 900.
Again, our exports to Asia and
Oceania and to Africain the period
mentioned increased S87, 900, 900
while our imports from them in
creased only about S63 900, 900.
AS has been said, a similar excess
of increase in exports has occurred
in the case of each of the remain
ing geographical divisions of the
earth.
This showing deals severe blow
to the favorte Free Trade contention
that this country cannot hope to sell
unless it also buys, and that foreign
purchases and sales between the
United States and the rest of the
world in the long run, offset each
other. 1t further demonstrates the
truth ofthe Protection contention th
every nation will seek for the com
modities that it may want in the
market where they can be best OBJ
tanned, either in respect to quality or
to price, or to both. 1t demon
strates still further that intelligent
protection does not act as bar to
the extension of foreign trade, for
the swifter increase of American
exports over American imports has
occurred in every direction, in our
trade with Asia, with South Amer
lea, with Africa and with Canada,
as we'll as with Europe; and, as a
rule, too, in the face of Protective
barriers.
At the same time the rest of the
world has no just ground for com
plant against the Protection policy
pursued by this country. Although
the increase in our imports has been
relatively smaller than the increase
in our exports, the increase in the
former has been very heavy. We
purchased from Europe alone in
1902 over $I35, 600, 900 more than
we did in 1898, while the total
amount of our purchases last year
was over half a billion dollars.
This is nearly as much as our entire
imports amounted to in 1855, and
more than half as much as oul
total imports for the fiscal year Of
1903.
AS time goes on and this Republic
expands in wealth, we shall un'
doubtedly consume more and more
of certain products of Europe, as
we'll as to continue to maintain
a Protective Tariff. New York
