j. L. Bigelow. the defaulting Mil
waukee bank president, while presi-
dent of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION, made notable speech in
New York in which he exalted honesty
by reciting Robert Louis Stevenson S
prayer: '.To be honest, to earn a
little and to spend little less, to re-
nounce when that shall be necessary
and not to be embittered; to keep a
few friends, but those without capitu-
lation; above all and on the same grim
condition, to keep friends with him
self-here is a task for all that man
has OF fortitude and delicacy." What
beautiful sc ntiment this when uttered
by Bigelow. the honored bank pres
ident! But what sense of shame and
mockery must the recollection of these
same words bring to-day to Bigelow,
the defaulter and embezzler! Had he
but applied this principle of honesty to
himself in actual life, instead Of
believing it was intended for others.
he might still be honored and now
be awaiting punishment as thief.

unpopular, seems to b e foregOne
conclusion, nevertheless, it is hoped
by education to remove the opposition
With Secretary Shaw and other stand
patters the chief deslderatum seems to
be that nothing should be done which
can in any possible manner diminish
the amount of protection now afforded
the manufacturers, irrespective Of
what discrepancy there may exist be-
tween the cost of the labor which en-
ters into their product and the amount
of protection they are now afforded.
1t is generally assumed that when
the President returns from his hunting
trip he will devote some time and SER
ious consideration to the problem of
increasing the federal revenues and it
is not improbable that when Senator
Aldrich. chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on Finance, returns to this
country, about June l, he will call to-
gether subcommittee to consider the
situation which the next congress will
have to face.
It's somewhat remarkable, in view of
the very conservative reputation which
the senate so widely enjoys, that it
should stand ready to re-adjust the
tariff schedules in accordance with the
presidents recommendation but such
is the fact despite all reports to the
contrary. Luch reports, it may be
said, are, generally fathered by the
wish rather than by thought Sena-
tors Aldrich, Allison, Spooner, Lodge,
in fact. practically all of the leaders OF
| the Senate. believe that the time has
come when the Dingley tariffs should
be readjusted and in what they believe
the remainder of the senate is accus-
toned to acquiesce.
Senator Dick of Ohio, whose &C
quaintauce with the upper chamber is
not of long standing and who is de-
clared by his new colleagues not yet
| to have shaken the dust of the House
| from his mind, declares that there will
| be no tariff readjustment next session,
in which he may be right, and that a
majority of the Senate does not favor
suce policy in which he is certainly
wrong. Like many members of the
House, Mr. Dick appears to regard
the proposition to adjust the tariff law
to existing conditions as an evidence
of disloyalty to the protective system
despite the fact that the men who are
| leaders in the movement for readiust-
| ment are among the most prominent
| and able defenders and exponents of
| the protective SYSTEM but in time Mr..
Dick may revise his opinions.

Sheriffs in various parts of the state
have been waging a hot fight against
the senate bill which provides for the
taking Of patients to the asylums by
attendants of 5these institutions, in
stead of by the sheriff of the county
where the patient resides. The bill in
question provides that where a person
is adjudged insanesthe court shall at
once notify the superintendent OF the
hospital where the insane person is to
be sent, requesting an employee Or en-
ployees of the institution to transfer
such patient The expense shall be
paid out of the current expense fund.

indeed question whether this meas
ure would materially reduce the cost
to the county. and would probably ne
cessitate the appointment Of more en-
ployees at the state institutions.

Advertising Bill Passed.

One of the bills ordered to engross-

that prohibiting physicians from ad-

licenses to practice. The Wisconsin,
papers generally Of the state are OPP
posed to the bill, as are many of the
leading physicians of the state. There
has been long and spirited contest
over the bill. 1t confers upon the
state board of medical examiners the
power to revoke a physicians license
if it deems him guilty of immoral, dis
honorable or unprofessional conduct.
Included in unprofessi0nal conduct is
advertising himself or his medicines

BUYING RUBIES IN BURMA,
Grips and Signs Used in Bargaining
for Precious Stones.

for Precious Stones.
The peculiar business methods of
oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner of buying rubies in Bur
ma, says the Jewelers. Circular
Weekly. In the examination of rubies
artificial light is not used, the mer-
chants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and brilliancy
OF the gems. Sales must, therefore,
take place between a. M, and p. NJ,
and the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near a win
dow, has before him a large copper
plate. The sellers come to him one
by one and each empties upon this
plate his little bag of rubies The pur-
chaser proceeds to arrange them for
valuation in number of small heaps.
The first division is into three grades
according to size; each of these groups
is again divided into three piles &C
cording to color, and each of these
piles is again divided into three
piles according to color, and each of
these piles is again divided into three
groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has curious
use. The sunlight reflected from it
through the stone brings out with
true rubies a color effect different
from that with red spinels and tour
malines, which are thus easily sepa-
rated.
The buyer and seller then go
through a very peculiar method Of
bargaining by signs or rather grins, in
perfect silence. After agreeing upon
the fairness of the classification, they
join their right hands, covered with
handkerchief or the flap Of a gar
ment, and by grips and pressures
mutually understood among all these
dealers they make, n odify and accept
proposals of purchase and sale. The
hands are then ur covered and the
prices are recorded.

Burden of War Debt.

that at this time last year the deficit
amounted to only $2,414,0OO.
Although the President is not here
to express his views as to the proper
solution of the problem, those familiar
with his opinions say that he will re-
gard the increasing deficit as a new
evidence of the necessity of readjusting
the tariff. When the Dingley act was
framed it's schedules were subjected to
that nicity of adjustment which en-
abled them to afford to American man :
ufacturers and producers all the pro-
lection they required while the bill as
whole afforded all the revenue neces-
sary to meet the expenses of the gov
eminent. Under the fostering care of
protective system, however, American
manufacturers have constantly perfect
ed their various methods. built up
their several lines of business and
cheapened cost of prod uction until now
tariff schedules, which then merely
served to keep out the bulk of those
products in which the cheaper cost OF
foreign labor played an important part
are absolutely prohibitory, cutting of
aiding American manufacturers to
charge the domestic consumer price
out of all proportion to the increased
cost Of labor that enters into their
products. If, therefore, the Congress
should respond to the recommendations
of President Roosevelt and readjust the
tariff schedules it would be an easy
matter to SO adjust the new schedules
as TO afford all needed protection and
at the same time afford all the revenue
needed to meet the increasing expen-
ses of the government.
While this doubtless is the view of
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft,
Attorney General Moody and other
members of the cabinet, Secretary
Shaw who is stand patter of stand
patters, is seeking to devise some
method whereby he can increase the
revenue without touching the existing
schedules. To this end the secretary
is investigating the possibility of in
creasing the internal revenue receipts
by adding to the existing taxes on
liquors, tobaccos, etc. The secretary
is reported, too. to favor the imposi-
ton of tariff duty on tea and coffee,
if it be found impracticable sufficiently
to increase the revenues by other
means. and certain of the subordinates
of the Treasury department speak in
glowing terms of this form of taxation,
although the Secretary declines to
commit himself on the subject for pub
LEGATION. That such tax would prove

WASHINGTON LETTER..
from our Regular Correspondent

With but two months remaining OF
the current fiscal year, the national
treasury shows defnit of over $780,
100000. That is, the expenses of the
government for the ten months ending
with May have amounted to over $780,
100000 more than the receipts, and
Treasury officials admit that there is
no prospect that the deficit will be re
duced before the close of the fiscal
year, on June 80. Under these circum-
stances, the administration must now
devote its attention to some method of,
either increasing revenue or, reducing
expenses. and it is generally admitted
that the letter is an impossibility. Sec
rotary Shaw himself admits that he
sees no possibility of reducing the fed
eral expenses and that the energies of
the administration must, therefore, be
devoted to devising methods of raising
more revenue. This necessity becomes
even more obvious when it is recalle
