The Illinois people are talking
about taking Speaker Cannon by
force and making him Vice President
even against his will and protest.
But Mr.. Cannon kicks vigorously
against being thus shelved, and de-
clares that he will not accept the sec
ond place on the ticket. 1t may be
possible that he has his eye upon the
Presidency, and he knows that it is
seldom that a Vice President is nom
mated to succeed to the high office
OF President. Taking this view OF
the situation no one can blame Mr.
Cannon for refusing to accept the
place.

REFORM IN TARIFF LAWS.

The Sioux City Journal, "a Republl-
can newspaper, declares that there
is widespread opinion that conditions
have so changed during the last
seven wears as to render changes III
the existing tariff law proper and
expedient. Contrary contention
amounts To denial OF the develop,
ment which is the boast Of the whole
country. The Republican party
ought to be free TO make such
changes in tariff rates as time and
experience establish asexpedient and
wise. Being free to do SO, whatever
combination may advise to the con
trary, the party should assert its In
dependence and give its pledge
The opinion lsnot only widespread
that present conditions render
change OF the tariff law proper and
expedient, but we believe that re
spectacle majority ofthe most prom
inent statesmen and leaders in both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties are firmly OF the opinion that
such changes are not only proper
and expedient, but necessary. They
believe taet the future industrial and
commercial prosperity OF the coun-
try depends upon finding wider and
larger markets for our products by
reciprocal tariff measures, but no
one can seriously expect the Republic
can party now TO afford this relief.
SO far as tariff revision is concerned.
that party has taken a backward
step. President Mckinley in his But
falo speech declared for tariff revision
along proper lines, aud two years
ago the State of Iowa declared Tor IL,
but under the influence OF our present
chief executive and his advisers, the
recent Iowa platform has changed
front and the Republican party
everywhere throughout the country
is welded to the stand pat policy.
True the Republican party ought to
be free to make necessary changes in
the tariff, but it is very evident that
it is not free.

DIR. Witherspoon's testimony as to
the value of negro education, given
in the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, at Greenville, Pa, Tuesday. was
not at all in harmony with the views
OF some people who declare that "the
more the negro is educated the more
vicious he becomes. DR. Wither-
spoon said that Ia his experience OF
thirty years, he had met with the
hearty support OF the Southern peo-
pie, both moral and financial. in the
education OF the colored people, and
that no colored man who had been
educated in their schools had ever
been placed under arrest. That is a
fine record and shows that education
will do good.

The diocese OF Missouri has voted

service. Soon after the revised YER
sion was publlshedit had alarge sale

reading appeared to be a desire more
than anything else to note the
changes made. The new print was
not adopted to any extent and has
not been to the present day, and
what Il more, It is not believed that
it can ever take the place OF the King
James version.

GOV. HERRICK
TAKES OFFICE

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1.-THE cere-
monies incident to the Inauguration of
Ohio's fifty-first governor were the most
elaborate and imposing in the history of
the state. Many regiments and companies
of the state guard came to Columbus at
their own expense to take part in the pa
rade. The demonstration was strictly non
partisan, and the immense outpouring of
people at the ceremonies was considered a
personal tribute to the governor-elect. Gov
ernor Herrick had as his personal escort
the famous Troop A of Cleveland Feat
ures of the big parade were the splendidly
uniformed Blaine club of Cincinnati, the
Lincoln club of Toledo, the Buckeye club
of Columbus, the naval cadets and other
military. civic and political organizations.
Mr. Herriek took the oath of Office as gov
