THE ARIEF DISC UsSIox.

John B. Corliss, formerly a Repub-
lican Congressman from Detroit, is not
stand-patter, and he predicts that if
the stand-patters prevail the Sixtieth
congress will be Democratic. He thus
talks: The voters do not regard any
tariff schedule sacred, or consummate.
They recognize constantly changing
conditions, and demand that the tariff
schedule be made to keep step with
progress. A perfect tariff law was
never enacted. Unfortunately, the pen
dulum at each change since 1890 has
swung too far one way and then the
other. The Dingley tariff, for which
voted, was the best that could be OBJ
tanned at that time. Many, and per-
haps majority, of the members of the
Fifty-fifth congress knew at the time
they voted for the bill that several
items We're too high, but were powerless
to reduce them. The present stable and
prosperous condition of our business af-
fairs need not. be disturbed by a gen
eral revision of the tariff, but few
glaring defects and excessive rates
should be speedily modified, so as to
correct abuses and meet present con-
ditions OF trade and commerce.
So the line is being drawn. 1t will be
interesting to see who is who and what
is what. President Roosevelt evidently
means to be somebody and something
in the controversy, u

BUSY B4LTrafOR

Baltimore is fast recovering from her
great fire, and the indications are that
with the beginning of spring there win
be such building activity there as has
never been known there before. Many
buildings are already in progress, and
those which are to be constructed at an
early date include many Of the largest
and most costly that will go up in the
burnt district. A number of great Of
fee buildings have been planned and
work on them will probably begin in
the early spring. Outside the burnt
district some large apartment houses
are planned, and it is likely that there
will, in the future, be an increasing de-
mand for these houses. The regular an
nual increase in the population of Bal
timore for many years past has re-
quired about fifteen hundred new
dwellings to be built each year. At
the time of the fire the city had been
somewhat "overbuilt,' and there was a
surplus of houses. The fire caused a
great demand for mechanics. and the
cost of building advanced. This ar
rested to a considerable extent the reg
ular building of dwellings, and now it is
said the population has caught up with
the houses, and an advance in rents
has taken place. The apartment houses
will now help to supply the demand for
dwellings,, and they are becoming more
and more popular.
Real estate in almost every part of
Baltimore is in better demand than it
has been in many years and brings bet
ter prices. There are people in New
Haven who would look on a. big fire as
mitigated evil if It would make real
estate move.

Of life is even more terrible. Apart
from accidents and great disasters, the
effect of inhaling the filthy. smoky at
mosphere with which a foggy day has
accustomed npndoners has most in
furious effect NON the vitality, and it
has been proved that the death rate is
increased thereby. Probably the worst
fog on record was that of 1879, which
was marked by truly enormous death
rate. During six weeks OF its prevail
ence the number Of deaths was double
the average, and in the January follow
ing the humber of deaths was IS per
cent. above the average. In the famous
fog of 1S13-14, which preceded the great
frost of that wintef, the death rate also
increased considerably, and so impene-
trable was the darkness that people
were afraid to venture into the streets.
The talk is that London fogs are real
ly on the decrease, owing, it is thought,
largely to the efforts of the Coal Smoke
Abatement Society, and the increase in
the use of gas and electricity. But sit
uated as it is London will, of course,
always have fogs enough.

4 WANING BEETLE.

The eIms which are left on the Green
have a good deal to talk over in the
quiet nights, and they are just now re-
joicing over the waning of the elm-leaf
beetle, which likes elms too well. The
elm-leaf beetle is a European insect,
and. strange to say, has been known in
this country since 1887. 1t was first no
ticed in New Jersey and Maryland, and
has slowly been working its way north
ward and eastward. 1t is only for the
past five Or six years that it has been
common in New England. 1t began to
diminish in 1908, and last season had
almost disappeared from these parts.
Inquiries extensively made by Professor
George T. Stone, of Amherst, the Mass
achusetts State botanist, show that the
insect seems to be less abundant every
where, from Philadelphia northward.
The cause is not known; some ascribe
it to parasites and some to the weather
Professor Stone notes that the greatest
destruction has been where the soil was
unfavorabIe to the tree; the more -four
ishing the tree the less liable it was to
attack.
Let the elm-leaf beetle continue to
wane and the elm to wax. 1t is a
beautiful tree, and New Haven is not
half proud enough or careful enough of
its Elm City title.

THE COSTLY LONDON FOGS.

1t is sometimes wet enough on this
coast, and it is occasionally foggy
enough, but we can congratulate our.
selves on the fact that we don't have
London fogs. A wise man has been
studying London fogs. He finds that
on foggy day London burns more than
150,000,000 extra cubic feet of gas and
one electric lighting company alone, the
City of London, estimates that full
days fog means an increased consump,
ton of $4,000 units, representing to the
users all outlay of $3.50, and as this
company supplies only about one-tenth
of all the electric light of London, the
total cost for foggy day must amount
to about $4,000. A single railroad
company spends as much as $500 day
OH decorators if the atmosphere is
foggy. During the Christmas fog
157 fogmen were told off to signal"
nine miles OF railroad line. The de-
tonators these men use cost OIL All av,
erage $3.50 per gross. The loss caused
by fogs, however, cannot be calculated
merely in dollars and cents. The loss

AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE.

There is so much said about men who
don't mail letters that perhaps it is only
due the forgetful sex to recount on a
Woman's Page how one man mailed a
letter that he didn't have to.
Every one knows about the gentle
man who forgot to post his wife's epis-
tie accepting an invitation to spend a
few days in the country with friends,
with the consequence that his better
half had to stay in the little railway
station all night, since no carriage. met

quence-but this story of how man
. mailed letter happened in Baltimore
/ and is quite new.
The story began with mans perfdy
| of course. This man was a young one,
and he had been trusted with a very
important missive inviting young wo
man to house party.
He didn't forget to mail the letter. but
when he reached the box where he had
expected to post it he found he had lost
it out of his pocket. OF course, he had
been told to keep it in his hand until he
reached a box, but what man was ever
known to do such thing?
- He was overcome with remoTse when
he found that the letter was really lost
that is, as overcome as it is possible
for man to be, and SO since he knew
all the circumstances he went home at
once and wrote a note to the girl to
whom the letter was addressed, telling
her the circumstances and the purport
of the other note.
In the course Of time the girl who
wrote the first note received,a reply
from her invited guest tit does seem as
if the girls were pretty we'll mixed
here, but it is to be hoped that the
reader will understand, saying; II re-
ceived your letter in the same mail with
the one Fred. wrote, saying he had lost
it. The letter was evidently unsealed,
and the finder had read it, for he had
put a stamp on it, and, more than that,
since he evidently thought the oeca-
sion urgent, and he didn't know how
long the epistle had been lying in the
gutter-a special delivery stamp.
ION the outside he had written, This
letter was mailed by one who has many
sins to be forgiven in the matter of UNI
/ mailed and forgotten letters Nice of
him, wasn't it?"
If that wasn't a Christian deed, then
there meyer was one, and it should GER
tainly compensate for the large number
OF 1naseulines who every day betray the
beautiful confidence reposed in them by
wives and sweethearts, and mothers
and sisters-Baltimore News.
