Year Hence.
Tariff revision Of an extremely mod
crate sort by the 59th congress when
It meets in regular session a year
hence Is the way the agitation Of the
political subject In various parts Of the
country impresses Senator Foraker Of
Ohio. He is not impressed by declara-
lions Of strong revisionists that unless
an extra session Is called next spring
the revising process will come so close
to the next congressional elections that
the republican majority in the house
will be imperiled.
Revision is a part Of the political
game he we'll knows. but his Judgment
is that while alterations in the Ding
ley schedules will come. they will be
so slight eventually that the country
will easily accustom Itself TO them
without danger of such dire Industrial
consequences as the antlreVisionists
predict.

Old buffalo hunters of the western
Kansas prairies used to tell of hav-
ing seen and pursued white buffalo.
There We're white buffalo, albinos such
as are found at rare intervals In all
the families of the animal Kingdom,
but the number of those which existed
In fact and of those which existed
purely in the Imagination, says the
Kansas City Journal, were in wonder
full disproportlon.
In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roam
cd the plains, with his tall, gaunt wife
forAa companion, followed herd OF
buffalo from the northern edge of what
is now Oklahoma to the sand hills OF
Nebraska, thinking to kill big white
bull which he had seen In the herd.
After three weeks OF patient stalking
Garfield did kill the bull, only to find
that the whiteness of its appearance
was due to a coat of whitewash.
An explanation of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds of western
Kansas. The habit OF the buffalo is
to roll or wallow in every pool of wa.
ter or mudhole to which he comes
Canffeld's buffalo had simply been roll.
Ing in a bed of the native lime, which
when dried in the sun, coated his hide
with kind Of plaster.
No doubt these lime holes account
for many Of the white buffalo so OF.
