Onr Perplexed President.


When the tariff is being discussed
everywhere and when it is expected to
be the question at issue between the
two great parties next year, we should
naturally expect to find some recon-
mendation ON this important subject
in the Presidents message. 1t con-
tains not word to guide us; 1t does
not even mention the word tariff"
Why? Has the President no opinions
or ideas on this question, or is he
afraid to talk on it? Is he undecided
in his mind an2 is he hesitating to
jump either towards protection or free
trade?
A year and half ago he was talk
ing tariff revision and a tariff commits
sion. Last spring he left off talking
on both of these subjects and was re-
ported to have Joined the "stand-pat-
ters,' after a conference at the White
House with representatives of the Pro
tective Tariff League, just before he
started on his western trip. Is he ST.
lent because the protected interests
told him then that f he continued to
talk tariff revision they would defeat
him for the no;aination next year. as
was reported?
Back in the eighties Mr.. Roosevelt
was member of the Golden Club of
England and of the Free Trade League
of New York City. 1t was said that
in some of his speeches he expressed
willingness to die for free trade. Is
he silent because his free trade ideas
are returning to haunt him and TO
make him undecided? Is it not clear
to him that, with the great protected
trusts of to-day preying upon us, pro
lection is now far more of curse than
it was fifteen or twenty years ago2 Is
the great steel trust making itself so
obnoxious that he is silently consider
ing a special message advising the re-
moyal of all tariff duties that protect
it? This would be grand. We could
| forgive the apparent oversight in his
message if he is saving up a big blow
for this hated robber trust. We could
not forgive him if the omission was
due to overwork with his White House
incubator of South American repub-
lies We care but little for abroad"
/ but we are much concerned about the
steel trust right here at home. We
want to see its p'undering career
stopped Free trade in steel will do
the business. Why, Mr.. President.
don't you talk tariff revision again?-

STATIONERY PLAIN.

Nothing is more indicative of person 3
culture than the stationery which he uses.
Anything that calls undue attention, any
color or texture that is startling because
of it being unusually or conspicuous, is al
ways in poor taste. For years Queen
Alexandra has used a thick, cream-colored,
rather rough letter paper 1t is simple
and dainty She occasionally uses a pale
gray with only her own monogram. Upon
the cream-colored paper appears the royal
crown and her address in deep blue. King
Edward himself favors a simple cream
colored paper, plainly designed. Mrs.
Roosevelt's paper is of the simplest, and
the president will have nothing but the
most inconspicuous stationery. The most
fastidious avoid perfumed paper as they
avoid pestilence, though it is not uncom-
mon to find clinging to a sheet of ex-
quisite paper a peculiar and feeting odor
which is scarcely discernible. and which
is evidently but the lingering fragrance oil
the surroundings whence it came.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
Grover Cleveland has outlined a platform
for the Democracy. 1t is along old and
safe lines, he says, and the result of its
adoption would be triumphant Democ-
racy. 1t is sort of bugle call to action.
1t has aroused new interest as to Cleve-
lands place in the campaign. Is he simply
pointing the way, or does he propose to
lead?
With all his verbal and written declara-
tons that he is not a candidate, he con-
tinues to figure in the situation. Few
Democrats would make up list of proba-
bilities that did not include his name.
In this declaration of principles, sent
out from his retreat at Princeton, Cleve-
land recommends that the platform be
short. He would have it declare for tariff
reform and economy in the use of gov
eminent funds. He would denounee the
Philippine colonial policy and the part TAX
en- by this country in the Panama Colon
bia affair.
In general way he sets forth Demo
cratic opposition to monopoly, but intimates
that no rash and impossible promises for
the smashing of trusts should be made.
Therein he calls attention to the fact
that the Democrats would not be in full
control of the government machinery even
if they should win the presidency and
house of representatives. The senate would
still be Republican.
Cleveand's friends assert that his record
as to the trusts is good, even if he does
not make loud demands for their ami
hiation.
Il
to congress he referred to evils arising
from trusts and suggesting that the Sher-
man antitrust law be dragged out of stor-
age and oiled and FURNISHED for action.
As there is no organized boom for
Cleveland, at least none visible to the
naked eye, it is difficult to gauge his
strength.

GEORGE. THE GOOD BOY.

(From McDuffy's New Fourth Reader.)
George was the only son of poor man
and woman whose poverty forced them to
live in little cottage on the edge of the
great city. Their restitution was so great
that the man was compelled to keep two
dogs and many chickens, while the woman
was obliged to put the lace curtains in the
wash only now and then instead of every

George was forced, by his parents pow
erty, TO 80 to the high school, where he
studied hard instead of playing football
and smoking cigarettes. At home he had
20 help his mother wash the dishes, for
they were too poor to employ a strong
girl to break them. He never went out
nights" because when he finished his work
and. his studies there were too many books
in his fathers library and too many news.
papers and magazines to be read. And so
he grew up to be a good boy.
When George was graduated, in order
10 help his indulgent parents, he went to
work in dry goods store, meeting with nc
difficulty in finding place, for his hands
were soft, his complexion good and bis
shoulders narrow. He was just such a
man as would attract woman shopper

canal to connect the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific through the southern part of
Mexico. Should such a project be con-
summated it would, of course, result in
great withdrawal of trade from the new
Panama canal but officials here who are
well versed in the subject recall that the
project is not new one but almost as
old as the idea of a canal across the 18th
mus of Panama and there is no ground for
belief that it is any nearer realization now
than half century ago. With the Pa
mama canal about to be rushed to compile
ton capital would not be likely to invest
in the Mexican scheme, while the Mexican
government could not be relied upon for
financial support because the building of
such waterway would mean ruin to the
national railroad of Mexico on the isthmus
of Tehauntepec.

The Home
BY CYNTHIA GREY

tastes Young men and women seem to
believe that marriage will change their ma
tural tendencies, affect materially or
change completely their personal likes and
dislikes. This is not true A bride can
not change her habits much easier than a
leopard can change his spots. a man
does not enjoy devoting himself to unin-
teresting projects after marriage any bet
ter than he did before.
1t stands to reason that a woman
brought up in a refined atmosphere, sur
rounded by all that is beautiful and cul-
tured and artisties will find out sooner or
later that she can't be happy as the wife

in this advanced age il Is to be expected
that young men and women will consider

before they permit the priest to tie the

MISSALLTANCE MEANS TROUBLE.
A far-seeing judge has struck the nail
on the head. In granting a divorce to an
American whose social ambitions were
realized by marrying a count, he said:
Ambitious American mothers and Gull
tivated daughters who travel abroad in
search of titled foreigners are entitled to
no sympathy when the international mar
rage turns out unhappily-as it always
does. If these marriages continue. the
noblemen viii have all the money and the
American heiresses the children and the
experience"
Evil results will nine times out of ten
arise from such alliances. But this is
no more true of marriage between Ameri-
can heiresses and foreign noblemen than
between American men and women who
belong to distinctly different social classes.
Trouble is almost sure to come. Di-
vorce courts are almost sure to be visited
by the individual who marres out of his
class. 1t is not so much matter of
money, or merely matter of position
it is matter Of a clashing of individual
