The Beers and the Kaiser.

If it is true that body of Beers seeks
to set up a republic on German soil IN
South Africa the joke is most decidedly on
the kaiser. The German ruler, it will be
remembered, sympathized SO strongly with
Paul Kruger at the time of the Boer clash
with Great Britain that telegram he sent
To Kruger all but brought about hostilities
between Germany and Great Britain
Johnny Bull got very red in the face, or
dered out a flying squadron of picked ships
and showed every sign of resentment Then
the kaiser who had INDUCED in bit Of
theatrical meddlesomeness, cooled off, and
Kruger, who was heartened for a brief
spell, had to go it alone, and went to de-
feat. If the Beers tackle the kaiser, will
King Edward, in a spirit of irony and
playful revenge, assure them by wire of
his friendly and distinguished considera-
ton?

the age of eighty has been reached. This Is
expert advice which should be needed. 1t
may be contended by some that a person
who does not know how to live will never
attain the age of eighty, but that Is
somewhat frivolous observation. The really
important thing is to live until you are
eighty, and then you will know enough, or
ought to know enough, to take care of
yourself Another aid to ripe age, in the
opinion of Aunt Nell, is work Work is a
great thing More men die from overdis-
sipation in ten minutes than die from over
work in ten years. Aunt Nell believes in
cutting out dances and late dinners. The
philosophy in this is that you should get
plenty of sleep and not stuff yourself There
Is nothing SO becomes a man as to eat like
human being.
But let Aunt Nell give her expert advice
In her own way. She says:
DIR. Osler? Why. yes, I've heard of his
theory, but he is a dreamer. Why, you
don't begin to live until you pass eighty, and
l feel as young as 1 did at forty. The
whole secret of long and happy life is
embodied in one simple rule: Don't worry;
work and be happy Work is the main
thing, but no dances or late dinners"

Mr.. Shaw at Richmond.

In his speech at Richmond Monday night
Secretary Shaw said
All that the republican party claims for
the Dingley tariff law is that It is built on
right principles and that it protects all in
terests and all communities. 1t will be
amended in due time, but the principle will
never be amended under republican ad-
nlinistration. Here and there a rate may
be higher than necessary. Here and there
one may be too low, but the principle Is
correct and so wisely have the differentials
been worked out that the United States to-
day Is more prosperous than ever in its
history
Mr.. Shaw's deliveranccs on the tariff
question command attention for three rea-
sons: % He is the Secretary of the Treas
ury. and such is called upon frequently
to consider tariff matters; % he is an adj
vanced and outspoken standpatter; and 90
he is candidate for the presidency We
may be very certain, therefore, that he is
weighing his words, and expects to profit
by them in the great contest-less than
three years away-for his party's presiden-
tial nomination.
While he states his case very ingeniously
Mr.. Shaw follows in the main, the usual
line of the standpatters. "Oh, yes" he says
with an air of splitting a difference, some
of the Dingley rates may be too high. and
some may be too low. But the thing is to
hold on to the principle of protection. from
which. by general agreement, the country
has so greatly benefited
Now. as a matter of fact, none of the
Dingley rates are too low. All were made
high enough at the very start, and some
so high as to provide for reduction when
the law in such instances should have per-
formed its perfect work. The whole case
OF revision rests upon the schedules that
are too high. There is no complaint about
low schedules, for. as matter of fact,
there are no such things The law has
worked admirably, and so very well that
reduction OF some rates Is now demanded
for the general welfare. In fact this de-
mand was heard four years ago. and Mr..
Mckinley, at Buffalo, in what proved to be
his last speech. but what he intended as
a notice of purpose to take the matter up
with Congress. indorsed its reasonableness.
When Mr.. Shaw declares that protection
as a principle must not be trlfed with or
injured he begs the question. No republic
can revisionist proposes any such thing, but
all insist quite as stoutly as he does. that
protection has justified itself a thousand
times, and as policy must be preserved.
The tariff" Mr. Shaw says, encouraging
ly will be amended in due time" When
the sky falls we shall all catch larks.

The Presidents Southern Trip.

There is every assurance that the Presi-
dent will be most cordially received on his
visit south. Cities which are not on the list
are asking him to stop If but for an hour,
while cities which are down for an hour or
two asking that the time be extended.
The interest manifested relates as well to
the man as to his office, and everywhere
representative citizens, and particularly
men of business. are engaged on plans for
his entertainment. 1t is manifestation
which must be most agreeable to the OBJ
ject of It.
The welcome awaiting Mr.. Roosevelt will
be all the heartier because of the absurd
antics of the machine politicians last year
in the matter of the Booker Washington
luncheon. The game was politics. and 1t
was played with every detail that goes with
fiamboyant campaigning. That the Presi-
dent was dangerous man the southern
people were asked to believe. That his pur-
pose was TO upset social order in the south
the politicians were convinced. And so the
speIlbinders lambasted him from every
stump and made both themselves and their
course ridiculous.
But while this was done in the south and
to influence southern sentiment, the south
ern people as a whole saw through the shall
low stuff. and secretly must have laughed
at its authors and dissnminators. They
very well knew that even If the President
desired to change their social customs 1t
was not in his power to do so: that they
Were the masters, past successful challenge
of those things But they knew more than
that. They knew that the President was
half southern himself. was in the habit of
referring to- and expressing pleasure in, the
fact. and that he was bent on no such folly
as the politicians were imputng to him.
The whole hullabaloo was not only silly,
but so far as the south was concerned alb
solutely unnecessary. Judge Parker was
certain of the south's support, and would
not have received a single vote more in that
section If Booker Washington had never
lived. The intelligence and hospitality of
the south, therefore, recalling that episode,
will now make plain to the President the
difference between the CUFF of politicians
and the true spirit of the people.

The Modest West.
rom the New York Sun.


Divers moralists sociologists, college pro-
fessors and other superior persons are never
tired of shouting that this is an age of self
seeking a bluffing and brazen age It is
the more happiness to see the violets of
modesty growing where not everybody
would think of looking for them, in Mis-
souri,. The Journal of Kansas City, the
home of Hon. Debster Wavis, notices "the
growing demand of the west for fuller rec
ognition in national politics than has been
accorded in the past" and finds that there
is strong conviction in the west that 1t Is
time 1t insisted that a western man shall be
President"
1t is time for the unrecognized west to as
sert itself. 1t is time for the west to have
a President In the last forty-four years
the only western Presidents have been Lin
coin, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and
Mckinley; and the Kansas City Journal
admits that Roosevelt is western from hat
to boots; in fact, he is the westiest of west
erners.
1t must end. this discrimination against
part of the country ever reluctant to
stand up for Itself. and hitherto content
to let the monopolistic east engross the
offices. I'm the east as the Missouri phi
losopher says, they worship the almighty
dollar put the dollar above the man;
whereas ''in the west we are more inclined
to worship God and practice the rugged vir-
tues from Puritan forefathers," whose aver
sion to the almighty dollar almost reached
the form of monomania.
Shall that pious, virtuous and dollar
scornfng section be sacrificed any longer on
the altar of eastern greed?

Mems New Rain Coats
and OVercOatS.

New additions to our already large
assortment of Mems Rain Coats and
Overcoats make the looking them
over both interesting and instructive
interesting, to see the suitable ma
terlals, the attractive colors and the
excellent workmanship; instructive,
to learn that these accessories can all
be combined without excessive price.
The growing demand for Surtouts
and Paddocks warranted our pro-
viding liberal quantities to select
from; and while these are not in a
sense Rain Coats, still they are made
of waterproof cloth in both heavy
and light weight.
Rain Coats serve a two-fold pur-
pose. When not protecting the
wearer from rain they protect him
from the cold. The early autumn
mornings and evenings require some
additional clothing, for which the
heavy winter overcoat is not suited.
A lot of new styles just in-all
good colors, attractive designs and
splendidly tailored. AS a fall coat
they are quite proper.

Expert Advice on Longevity.

Expert advice is often the object of ridI-

advice. If the expert is honest sober, in

"One hundred and five years old yester-

r1ade=tO=m measure Shirts.

If any one time is better than an
other for placing your order for
made-to-measure shirts it's probably
the present time. The near approach
of the social season, which makes
big demands on the quantity OF
shirts, is worth considering, and then
the dress shirt must be made right
to look right. To insure such, or
ders should be placed in advance of
the seasons rush.
A shirt made-to-measure, with
every like and dislike given the ut
most consideration, is a comfort not
supplied by the stock shirt. The
good quality of materials, the ex-
pertness of the making do not pre-
vent the prices from being moderate.

Greene and Gaynor.

1t appears that the end of the famous
Greene-Gaynor extradition case Is In sight.
1t is reported from Montreal that two
United States marshals have gone from
that city to Ottawa to deliver their Gre
dentials to the governor general of Canada
and that they expect to leave Montreal
today with their prisoners. If these men
are brought to trial in the United States
flood of light may be shed on the cele-
brated Carter case.
Oberlin M. Carter. captain in the corps
of engineers, U. S. A. had direction of the
work of dredging from Savannah to the
sea channel for ocean-going craft. He
was also in charge of important harbor
improvement work in Cumberland Sound.
On the completion of the work, so much
credit was given Captain Carter that as
recompense for his service he was assigned
to the post of military attache to the Amer
lean embassy at London. Scandal develop
ed over the Savannah and Cumberland
Sound work, Carter was recalled and on
landing was placed under arrest, charged
with having fraudulently paid to Greene
and Gaynor, the contractors on the harbor
work. $4,000 for work improperly done
and with having obtained "rake-of'' of
the amount so obtained.
He was tried by court-martial in 1898,
convicted, and sentenced to five years in
the military prison at Fort Leavenworth
and to pay fine of 5000. The case was
carried into the civil courts and year
elapsed before Carter began to serve the
sentence imposed by the military court.
While Carter was in prison the govern
ment began suit to recover the funds oil
legged to have been improperly disbursed by
Carter and brought a criminal action for
conspiracy against Messrs. Greene and
Gaynor, who fled to Canada and have ever
since been engaged in resisting extradtion
until they have apparently exhausted every
expedient that their attorneys could invoke

Cuba and the United States.

It Is probable that nothing will imme-
diately come of the appeal of General Co
mez for American Intervention in Cuba.
There is a rancor of disappointment in the
appeal. General Gomez rants somewhat. He
talks very much as though he were a de-
feated candidate. Listen:
"A meeting of liberal leaders was held just
before General Gomez sailed, and in ad-
dressing them he said:
do not approve of revolution. But
the government assassinates the liberals,
arrests our friends under false charges, and
we have no hope OF justice from judges and
magistrates that do not recognize other law
than the secretary of governments will.
The government impedeS us in casting our
votes, and Cuba is now in reign of terror
never equaled in the worst times of Spanish
tyranny.
THE dungeons hold more liberals now
than they held patriots under the awful
regime of Weyler.
These being the facts, l ask you IL 1t Is
not time to address ourselves to the United
States and demand American Intervention
l cannot believe-no honest man can be-
lieve-that the role of America In Cuba is
| merely to support the Cuban government.
/ cannot believe that the Plat amendment
appended to our constitution means that If
we don't rebel and resort to civil war and
devastation of property America Is going
to allow us to be killed here like sheep
