A readiustment of the tariff with

Down at the Heel.

The English newspapers are bewail-
ing the decay Of the house Of COM
mons as deiberative body, The de-
cline seems to have begun with the
retirement of Gladstone. While he was
the great moral force in English poll
ties, the great London newspapers
found it profitable and necessary to
have their own reports Of the proceed
ings of the house, and when he went
on one of his great electioneering tours
he was followed about the country and
his speeches reported in full. Now the
big London newspapers have mostly
dropped their special reports Of the
proceedings and depend on bureau
which provides routine report for all
alike
The change is attributed to the alb
sence of great speakers from the house;
but it is probably deeper than that.
The era is not one of great issues, and
hence the great speakers are absent.
Besides, the London newspapers have
begun to discover what the American
newspapers learned some time ago, that
what the people want is to be guided
conscientiously as to the trend of legis-
1ation and the meaning Of party moves
by experts rather than to have to wade
thru five or six-column speeches to find
it for themselves. Specialization has
come into politics as into everything
else. H.

Keep Out Busybodies.

The Paris Temps, discussing the
peace negotiations, strikes the nail on
the head in saying, HThe coming peace,
instead Of being mere provisional
liquidation with humiliating restric-
tions imposed by Japan, should be a
loyal reconciliation between the two
countries which would become a guar
antee Of permanent peace in the far
east.'
President Roosevelt skill in direct
ing his efforts toward a meeting Of the
~ contending powers points to the fact
that this was what he had in mind.
The president is said to be anxious to
see the peace negotiations finished on
the field of battle in Manchuria. If
this were done it would insure the abb
sence Of interference from international
politicians. Russian policy has always
been favorable to such diplomacy. After
the Turkish war she concluded directly
treaty of peace at San Stefano, the
farthest point reached by Russia in her
inroads upon Turkish territory. There
Immediately arose a clamor that Euro
pean questions were involved and the
international politicians succeeded in
having the treaty reviewed. and mu.
tilated at the congress of Berlin.
But Europe could hardly find any con
tinental question in the settlement be-
tween Russia and Japan, and if the
peace is made in Manchuria, it is very
much more likely to prove satisfactory
. to both belligerents than. if made il
either Paris Or Washington. What the
( world wants is peace. What Russia
. and Japan need is peace. The greatest
| obstacle to peace today is the interfer
. ence of diplomatic busybodies like thu

, goes. If they can be kept out Of, tn,

A WORKOUT Argument.

The campaign of education which the
railroads are conducting among the
newspapers Of western states is begin
ming to show some results. While most
of the editors refuse the mental pabu-
lum dished out to them by the bright
young men in charge of the campaign,
or even take the trouble to refute their
arguments, there is here and there pa
per that swallows the literature, and be-
gins to have it's doubts about the wis
dom OF government control over rates.
The Winona Republican and Herald,
generally assumed to be the mouthpiece
of Congressman Tawney, is a case in
point. It reproduces statement by
President Earring of the Milwaukee,
who tells how scientific rate-making, so
conducted as to overcome inequalities
OF distance, has given the prairie states
and the wheatfelds Of the northwest
their great agricultural prosperity. "To
build across the channels of their COM
merce the impediments of constantly
increasing distance,' he says, "would be
to render desolate and barren the gar
den spots Of American agriculture -
These horror producing words had
their effect on the Winona newspaper,
which is moved to say:
These words contain meat for thought
. in connection with the question of gov
eminent rate-making. The United
States is a nation Of magnificent dis
tances, and railroad rate made by the
surveyors rod, measured out to the in
& du1stry of the country merely by the
mile, will not only arrest the commercial
development and agricultural growth of
the country but will require such read
lustment to untried conditions as can
not fail to be productive Of the most
serious and lasting harm to the railways
and to the people.
This is why the railroad rate-making
question is one that should be ap-
preached with great care, earnestness
and wisdom. s

stage Of the argument ought to raise the

GASOLINE IN WRONG CAN
Domestic Poured It on the Fire-TWo
Are Burned.

Miss Sophia Authen, a domestic at.
1925 Seventh street Sc, and c. K. Sem
ling, her employer, were painfully
burned by the explosion of gasolene
yesterday afternoon.
Thru mistake the driver of an oil
wagon had delivered gasolene instead
Of kerosene, and when Miss Anthem
attempted to start fire in the stove
with it there was violent explosion.
The girl was enveloped in flames and
Mr.. Semling, who was reading in the
next room, ran to her rescue.
He soon smothered the flames about
her, but was himself badly burned on
the face and arms. The house was
then in flames and the department was
called out. A physician dressed the
burns of both Miss Anthem and Mr..
Semling and said they were not serious.
Mr.. Semling's home is at Halstead,
but he has been attending the law
school at the university.

MIR. Dalrymple's Report.

Master jeans Dalrymple, after look
ing over Chicago, has "gang ava
hame' to write his report. He left
Mayor Dunno very much in the dark as
to what he would find, and being just as
much in doubt himself, that being the
natural state of Scotchmen, he eau
tiously did not say anything. Whether
Chicago is capable Of running street
car line, Mayor Dunno will not know
until Mr.. Dalrymple gets back to
Glasca, and under the influence Of a
mighty jorum of Scotch, writes out his
report.
There are many indications, how
ever, that he will decide against Chi
cago undertaking the running of street.
cars. In the first place, he found no
evidence that Chicago has any streets
on which to run cars. True, he found
some openings between the buildings,
but these did not belong to the city.
While he was in Chicago they were in
the sole and exclusive possession Of
Mr.. Cornelius P. Shea. Mr.. Shea oblig-
ingly gave the president Of the United
States the privilege Of riding over them
few weeks ago. He also permitted
Mr.. Dalrymple to walk thru a few Of
them under guard, but he did not say
whether he was going to let the mayor
and council run streetcars thru his
! thorofares or not. We rather believe
Mr.. Shea will be obliged to refuse this
privilege. There is scarcely room in
the streets now for his men to riot in
Besides, streetcars are a nuisance in a
street. They have a tendency to spoil
the shooting. Several times Mr.. Shea :
own men were brought in wounded, and
every time it was found that some
green striker s aim had been spoiled
by passing car and he had hit broth,
er striker instead of citizen. Such in.
|cidents have made Mr.. Shea pretty sore
on cars.
! Another count on which Mr.. Dalrym
pie will be likely to decide against Chi
cago is politics. In Glasgow they dc
not have any politics in the streetca1
business, while in Chicago they have
everything except streetcar business il
their politics. This is all they lack
and this they propose to have. The
Cook County Marching club is pretty
