Useless Subterfuge and Evasion.

1t is useless for the New York Times
to scold Senator Lodge for making
clear the fact that the panic of 1893
was caused by the Wilson tariff bill
and that nothing but the restoration
of the Republican party to power
brought back prosperity. Equally use
less is it for the Times to assert that
"the panic of 1898 was not in any pos
sible sense tariff panic 1t could not
have been caused by the Wilson tariff
bill since that bill was not enacted I'M
til Aug. 81. 1894. long after the panic
had reached it's climax and begun to
subside.~
The people of the United States are
not to be fooled by subterfuge or eva
sion They know perfectly we'll that
the panic of 1898 was caused by the
election of free trade administration
and congress pledged to repeal the Nc
Kinley tariff. They know, moreover,
that the effects and the duration of the
panic of 1893 were greatly increased
by the passage and operation of the
Wilson German tariff How we'll they
knew these things was shown by the
election of William Mckinley in 1896
and again in 1900. They knew them
still better when they saw what hap
pened after the defeat of free trade
and the restoration of protection as the
result of the election of 1896. The
country paid the penalty of the free
trade triumph and the protection de-
feat of 1892, and it will pay the pen
atty again just as surely and just as
often as it abandons protection and
takes up free trade.

AN EASTER FESTIVAL,


Boys Choir I'm Rustic House, and
CanaFies Sang In Hotel Corridor.
A kind of Easter observance was ar
ranged by the management Of the Ho-
tel Majestic in New York for it's
guests and friends in the foyer Of the
hotel on Easter Sunday, says the New
York Times. Some 400 guests and
their friends assembled in the foyer,
where seats were prepared. There
were handsome decorations Of potted
plants of brilliantly colored flowers
and many palms.
A barnyard scene on a large scale,
with chickens, ducks and rabbits, was
also fitted up and there was good
sized rustic house with straw roof, in
which a choir of eight adult voices and
boys surpliced choir of ten voices
sang a number of Easter hymns. On
every pillar in the foyer were hung
two birdcages, with a canary in each
cage, and these sang all during the
festival. An organ, chimes and or
chestra furnished Easter music.

determined tOstick to COrtelyou,
on the ground that he wants a
clean and honorable campaign
conductedOn a high plain, and
can trust him. On the other
hand the Senators who are old
politicians and think they know
it all, say that if only the election
Of President Roosevelt was con-
cerned, it wouldn't matter who
ran the campaign. but that the
larger and more important inter
ests of the party must be looked
after. In other words they con-
tend that the prosperity of the
country is bound up in the sue
cess of the Republican party,
and that it would be fatal to al
low the Democrats toagain come

The republican national con
vertiOn will meet in Chicago next
week, and Theodore Roosevelt
will be nominated unanimously
for the presidency. Two weeks
later the democratic national
convention will meet in St. Louis
but who they will nominate is an
absolute uncertainty, Bryan
will be there the same as he was
eight years ago, r. epared for all
sorts of troub BILE. He is as firm
and stolid in his ideas of silver,
anti-imperialism. and anti-con-
servatlsm, as he ever was. He
is out for trouble providing he
cannot have his own way, and
the machine will run to his
liking or there is going to be
trouble. On the other side of
the fence is the old Cleveland
democracy with Judge Parker
and few more conservatives as
their choice for the presidency.
1t is very improbable that there
will be any or unanlmlty
of sentiment at ST. Louis. and Ii
the democratic party is not split
again this year then all present
signs count for nothing. With
the democracy demoralized, with
the denomination of Roosevelt a
certainty. and with no question
about the result at the polls the
country ought to escape the usu-
al disquieting effects which usu-
ally precede a presidential cleo
tion. There should be no slump
in the business world this year
on account of any uncertainty as
to what is likely to happen, be-
cause it is a foregone conclusion
that the national administration
will be unchanged.

TT has reached point in mort
ern Wisconsin-and the same
condition likely exists throughout
the state, that the hotheads must
first find out whether man is a
half-breed before they can real
ly decide whether or not he is a
republican according to this mar
row way of thinking.) But those
who have Loyalty stood by the
party for many years, and helped
to carry it's colors through many
campaigns, should not be dis
heartened or discouraged, as the
present puff of dust will soon
blow by and then tranquility and
serenity will again settle down
over the commonwealth. There
have been Pfeffers in Kansas,
Pettigrews in Michigan, and
similar political disturbers in
other states, but they have all
had their day, the same as
the advocates of populistic prin-
ciples in the state of Wisconsin.

the Lake Superior region have

gone out that it is laid up with a
punctured tire. The pneumatic
arrangement connected with the
Bryan gas bag is also said to be
considerably out of repair and
the probabilities are that the
affair will explode somewhere in
the vicinity of ST. Louis along

out of business. Outside Of hot
