DECLARED FOR TARIFF REVISION.

the Ticket

Action Taken In Massachusetts, Republic
can State conventlon-Gulld and Draper
the Ticket.
The Massachusetts Republican conven-
ton on Friday nominated the following
ticket: For governor, Curtis Guild, jr.,
Boston; lieutenant governor, Eben s.
Draper, Hopedale; secretary of state,
William L. DIN, Boston; state treasurer
Arthur B. Chaplin, Holyoke; state auditor
Henry E. Turner, Maiden; attorney gem
eral, Dana Malone, Greenfield. Mr.. Guild
was nominated by reclamation, Mr.
Draper won on the first ballot The main
fight was on the attorney generalship
Mr. Malone led from the start and won
handsomely on the third ballot. The dec
laration in the platform in favor of tariff
revision is the first definite announcement
of the kind made in a Republican state
convention since the Dingley bill went
into effect Eugene N. Foss of Boston,
in an address to the delegates, declared
that the revision favored in the state plat
form was not sufficiently wide in it's scope.
A feature of the days proceedings was
the address of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge IN reply to Eugene n. Foss, who
had advocated the free admission of coal,
hides and the raw materials.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Foss
severely scored the Massachusetts sena-
charging that they were not loyal to the
interests of Massachusetts. Senator Lodge
made a forceful and eloquent address,
and in a parliamentary manner censured
Mr.. Foss for his structures on the Massa-
chusetts representation at the capital.
Mr.. Lodge also said that the time for
tariff revision was the time when the
Republican party was in power He argu-
ed that free raw materials" was but
another term for free trade" and that
the admission of free raw materials would
sound the death knell of reciprocity as
well as of protection.
The platform adopted, beside favoring
tariff revision, contained an endorsement
of the administration of President Roose-
welt, especial mention being made of his
part in bringing about peace between
Russia and Japan and of his enforcement
of the law preventing great corporations
from depressing the people by unjust
discrimination or by the destruction of
lawful competition; a resolution for the
increase of the navy and the upbuilding
of the American merchant marine; and
an endorsement of the administration of
former Gov. John L. Bates.

RUSSIAN CANDLES FOR JAPAN.
Shipment to Japanese Ports of Arti-
cles of Worship.

San Francisco Candles
vestments and church supplies are not
contraband of war these days, and
steamers from this port have been
carrying these articles of worship and
ritual on their way from Russia right
| into the heart of Japan. All t1fis be
cause the Russian church still has
hundreds of thousands of members
among the Japanese, and even in the
navy and army many of the highest of
church and still obey it's religious
commands.
This remarkable state of affairs has
become known through constant ship
ments from San Francisco by Russian
order to Yokohama, Toxic and Ha1o-
date of the various articles used in
the ceremonies of the orthodox Greek
church. These shipments, among
them one which will leave on the
steamer Mongolia next week, are paid
for BY Russian coin from the states
Golfers, and they will be used for the
spiritual benefit of Russia's enemies
A member of the consistory of the
Greek church, which for 20 years has
had it's American seat in San Fran
cisco, explained this odd interchange
between warning countries by the
statement that for 400 years the Rus
sian church has had it's missionaries
in Japan, and for 100 years has had a
big university in Hakodate, where the
flower of Japanese truth have been ed
ucated.
Among the naval and army officers
in the present conflict" this prelate
explained, there have been and are
now many raised in our faith and
trained by us to western ideals. We
have large congregations there, and
naturally their religious head being
still in Russia, it is from there that
the supplies still come, paid for out of
the Russian treasury chest. There
are steady shipments from this port of
candles, vestments and articles of ev-
cry sort to various Japanese ports for
the use of the clergy and converts
there The war has not interfered in
any way with this. 1t is odd, of
course, that two countries at war
should be so related that large num-
Der of Japanese acknowledge the SUI
premacy of the patriarch and the car
in religious matters, but SO the fact

ly oppose his pet theories, in order to
appreciate his claim to respect as one
of the ablest military men of the
country. He was brave. devoted
soldier during his long and active
army career. and it is a pretty small
sort Of creature who regards Gen.
Miles as does the editor of the New
York Sun. for instance, when he re,
fers to that officer as 'the most
gorgeous soldier of modern times y
and as one whose peculiarities in
later years have overshadowed his
early service to this country"
This is leading up to what is made
to appear as ridiculous proposition OF
having Gen. Miles run for governor of
his native state. Inere is nothing to
excite the visibility Of the human race
in the announcement that Gen. Miles
has an ambition in SUCH a modest
political direction. He is quite as
likely to be as good a governor as any
in the list Massachusetts has had, and
he is certain to be entirely to the
credit of his own state in living UP to
the best of her institutions and trad1,
tons. 1t will be the very inanity OF
prejudice if the clothes question IS
dragged in as a campaign issue in the
coming gubernatorfal contest in
Massachusetts. There has been moth
ing more unjust said of Gen. Miles
than this criticism Of him because he
devised his own military dress.
There are enoug4- things in this world
to talk about now besides this al
fusion, which is poor rec of the
decaying humorist.

-Four Track News.-The Republic of
Vermont-such was the name of the
Green Mountain state iii the days of
t:than Allen and John Stark before
she joined the union. Then her people
had the marked characteristics of a
free and independent race, and Yer
mcnters have ever shown themselves
worthy of the brotherhood of "the old
thirteen" which they were the first to
enter after the adoption Of the consti-
tuition. The sturdy traits which made
the sons and daughters of this COM
monwealth famous in the eighteenth
century have been communicated in
large degree to their descendants.
Aside from recent additions to the
population by France from Canada,
Vermont always has been singularly
free from foreign admixture It's peo-
pie are almost entirely agricultural
and manufacturing is carried on by
only small percentage of the popu-
lation. No slave was ever owned
in Vermont, and it was a Vermont
judge who brought to book a southern
Shareholder showing a bill Of sale for a
slave he sought to reclaim. The bill
