Oriain of chauffeur"


ISpringfleId RepubIlCaH'J
Many have wondered why the man
with the dusty face and big goggles
has been dubbed chauffeur. Vizetelly'
in his Life of Emile lola, seems to
offer some solution in the following
paragraph:
La Beauce proper Is certainly nat
and uonotonous. hut its confines are
picturesoue. and Dourdan, Auneau,
orgeres and other localities are as
ISOLATED historically with the horrible
crimes of the desperadoes known as
chauffeurs, who roamed the region
early in the 10th century. strain oil
hrutishness was long to be observed
among some of the inhabitants.

The Situation in New York.
New York Times.l

A democrat of the high quality and
firm temper of Mr.. Edward NJ. Shep-
ard. who should be elected governor,
would make for himself national
reputation in reforming and purifying
the state offices at Albany. Probably
nobody but a democrat can occupy
that office (governor) during the next
two years and leave it with a good re-
cord behind him and a political fu-
ture before him.

Some court martials may be expect

National guard in refusing to marcn
nine miles to participate IN the grand
review that closed the military man
euvers at Manassas. They appear to
have been guilty of a military offense,

been justified in reason and common

Judge Wheeler has very strong
opinions regarding the baHot law
which are shared by others not so
well versed in law. Perhaps he would
be glad TO have the constitutionality
of the whole matter opened up by
refusal to receive his ballot. a ballot
law that disfranchises men is not al
together Commendable.

1t is not a very strong recommended
ton that the Rutland News gives to
the license commissioners of that city,
who have recently resigned, when it
says:
We don't blame License Commits
sioners j. Z. Thomson and ]. p. Saw
yer for resigning. The office at the
best is a most trying one and thank
less. No one who does not propose to
enforce the law to the letter, without
fear or favor, no one who is not pre-
pared to rule the liquor element with
an iron hand, has any business TO be
commissioner. 1t is certainly no office
that the popular man" would want.
Instances have been known where an
office of such a nature as license COM
missioner given to the right man, has
not only failed to decrease his "popu-
larity," but has greatly increased it.
If popularity depends on Partially in
the performance of duty, reputation
as popular man should be an eff
fective bar to public office.

Allison and the Tariff.

Washington dispatch in the New
York Evening Post: The attitude of
Mr.. Allison, one of the recognized
leaders of the senate on the tariff re-
vision project, has been the subject
of mich speculation, unreleived by
interviews or other public expressions
of hiA opinion. Mr.. Allison's posi-
ton, ct may be stated on excellent au-
thoriiy, is this: He has not reached
definite conclusion as to whether
the tariff should be revised or not,
but does feel certain that no matter
how desirable revision may be, it is
not w3rth the price of party disunion,
and that whatever is done must be ac-
complained by absolute harmony with
in REPUBLICAN ranks. Any changes OF
the tariff, whenever they are reached,
must proceed conservatively and in
telligdntly. These requirements, he
feels Sure, preclude the possibility O
actionl at a special session in the
springl since this would leave INSULT
,ient lime for study and preparation

verse interests whose spokes
men MIST be heard, and their conflict

The Smoot investigation by the U.
S. senate is laying open some OF the
iniquities of the Mormon church.
Among these wrongs perpetrated by
Mormon leaders in the name. OF re-
ligion is the control they exercise over
the membership of their church con-
corning voting at general elections.
People will do almost anything when
they come to think it a religious duty.
Thousands of those Mormons have
practically yielded their voting power
over to the elders, II we can believe
human testimony and vote as they are
told, the elders claiming they have re.
ceived revelations from God as to
how their people should vote. Men who
practice such black arts as that on
any people ought to be held up to pub
lie scorn until they would have to flee
from the public wrath. III the Christ
ian religion teaches anything, it is the
personal responsibility of the individ'
ual. If modern civilization stands
for any thing better than the past, i
is to enlarge the Importance of the in
dividual. The result is more genera
intelligence. The tendency OF tn
Mormon church is to make OF thei
people "dumb driven cattle" rathe
han responsible human beings. Tur
on the light!

ing aims, if possible, harmonized with
those of other beneficiaries of the pro-
tective system. He alludes to the de-
demands for free hides in the east,
which will at once arouse antagonism
in the west, as illustrative of the del
icacy with which revision must pro-
coed. Any attempt to lower the duty
on wool would meet with opposition
from Ohio westward.
Mr.. Allison is additionally less of
high tariff man than most of his re-
publican associates, starting in life as
representative of moderate protec-
ton. 1t will be recalled that he was
one of six senator's to vote against
the ship subsidy bill when it passed
the senate several years ago, and that
he did not go on record on the earlier
ocean mails act. Though an extreme
"standpatter", his characteristic eau.
ton is thus fully displayed in his re-
lation to the present phase of the ques'
ton

Judge Conner, of penison, con-
gresham from the Tenth district, has
introduced bill which affects the in
terests of very many of our people.
The bill is to permit the mailing OF
packages not to exceed five pounds in
towns for delivery only on the r. f.
D. route running from that town
at the rate of 5 cents per pound fol-
the first pound and for each subse'
quent pound. Local business mer
are very much pleased with the plan
This arrangement would enable the
farmer to order goods to his point o.
departure from his rural route and re
ceive the same at II cents for five
pounds, or for what one pound costs a
the present postage rate of cent pei
ounce. If connected by telephone thu
farmer would be able at night to order
goods and receive them the next fore
noon at a cost that would be less thar
the wear and tear on his buggy ant
team, to say nothing of the loss o
time. Judge Conner has received
much encouragement and hopes to ge
the bill through. The big department
stores in thr cities are against 1t bu
the local merchants are for it. W.
hope it will pass.

have "a direct influence on those to
whom the petition is addressed. IN

we sign, and are willing to defend our
action, we are loaning our names
