"The EXTREMIST sort Of a protection

of any concession Of the administra-
ton to the tariff revision sentiment.
This subject with Mr.. Shaw is a local
issue. His great fight in Iowa has been
with Governor Cummins and other adj
herents Of the iowa idea, which is
steadily demanding attention there.
Mr.. Shaw has fought this theory with
all the oratory and energy at his COM
mand. and now to have the administra-
ton Of which he is a part, give it any
aid or comfort is intolerable to him.
Hence his activities in devising the
new drawback regulations, alluded to
recently in these dispatches, which will
be issued in few days. Mr.. Shaw's
greatest object is to do something
which will lessen the need Of touch
ing the tariff, and as secretary of the
treasury his power and influence in
such directions, now and in the future,
would be very great. He will be the
presidential candidate, If at all, of the
"standpatters" and the subsidy men,
1t is obvious that such an influence in
the cabinet might not harmonic with
the general purposes of the Roosevelt
administration and hence the hest

INSANE ASYLUM WHISKY.

[Sumner Journal.]
Monday we received a circular from
Kentucky setting forth the great value
of certain brand Of whisky. The cir
cular is embellished with half-tone
cuts of insane hospitals where this par
ticular brang of bug juice is used.
Just why it should be to the credit Of
the stuff to be used in mad houses we
do not clearly see. If the circular had
stated that the brand it praised had
been used prior to mems going to
these asylums then we could see where
it might be consistent. Between whts-

We notice by the last Herald that
Editor Hopkins is rolling the juicy
morsel of newspaper fight beneath
his tongue, and wants to umpire the
fight between the Independent and Re-
publican. This would be a great
treat for John, and if the Republican
could be cajoled into the arena the
public could hold its nose while the
battle ragged. But when any paper gets
the Republican to make fool of itself
in this manner it will be a colder day

LET THE CIRCLE ALONE.

[Webster City Freeman-Tribune.J
The circle on the ballot is trouble
some to nobody, while it is a conven-
fence to many. If the voter wants to
vote a mixed ticket he votes as tho
there was no circle and If he wants to
vote a straight party ticket he simply
puts his cross in the circle. With the
circle eliminated everybody would have
to mark in the square before each can
didate voted for. This would not aid
the "scratcher" in the least. 1t would
simply annoy the voter who wanted to
vote the straight ticket. The legisla-
ture in this particular would do we'll
to follow the habit of the chronic
"scratcher"-let the circle alone.

To be sandbagged and robbed of $52

sailor residing at % Main street. San

afternoon in Oakland.
The seaman was decOyed into room
at the Overland House, First street and

rife blow on the head. He dropped
senseless to the floor. When the mari
ner revived he was minus his purse

AS soon as he had sufficiently recov-
cred, Johnson left the house and no
titled the police. Detectives Kyle and
Shorey are looking for the man who
took the sailor in tow.
Johnson said he had been calling on
relatives and had gone to First street
and Broadway to wait for train to
San Francisco. While seated on a
bench he got into conversation with a
stranger, a man of twenty years or so.
and the affable young man invited him
TO go to the house upstairs. The police
think a sandbag was used, as the sea-
mans head was badly confused where
the weapon had struck him. A good
