Tie efforts that have been made by
the bureau of plant industry for Il
number of years in the matter of pro-
duciag, by breeding, new citrus fruits,
so as to build up varied industries in
the south, have met with the most
gratifying results. The hardy oranges
which have been secured as a result Of
crossing the sweet orange with the
hardy Japanese orange are now ready
to distribute, and the work of diStri-
butirg them will be %inaugUrated this
winter. These new hardy oranges will
unquestionably make possible the de-
velopment of several important indus
tries in the south. The oranges are
valuable for marmaladas, and from
the fact that they may be grown in
nearly all the southern states, great
possibilities fer tdeir usefulness are
opened up. Even if they should not
come into general use for manufacture
ing purposes or for general orchard
planting. they will undoubtedly event
ually become a feature in every door
yard throughout the south. Aside
from their value for The manufacture
Of marmalades and preserves, they will
be exceedingly useful Tor pies and
Other purposes.
There has been fruitej this year for
the first time a sweet orange Of the
hardy type. This is an accomplishment
which the department hoped for when
it fist inaugurated the work. The
othel new citrus fruits developed from

Our Sacred Tariff.

The Dingley tariff is largely a tariff
for protection. with now and then an
incidental and constitutional revenue
feature. This is made plain by the
figures for March of this year. Our
imports were increased in that month
from an aggregate of SOL ,347,909 in
the March of last year to $110,466, 256
An increase of more than $4,000
900. Were the customs increased in
proportion? They were increased less
than 100000 in March last over the
receipts in March, 1904.
This is why the treasury deficit has
in the present fiscal year already
reached $34,000000. We have a tariff
for protection, not for revenue. We
have a tariff made for a standpatting
lot of vultures feeding on the con-
suming public by virtue of tariff
wall erected by themselves.
When an increase of $20,000,000 in
imports produces less than 100000 in
duties, deficit is inevitable. We need
a tariff for revenue instead of tariff
for infant industries founded one hun
dred years ago and largely swelled
now into trusts. And yet an array of
standpatters led by Boss Aldrich and
Uncle Joe Cannon Is, being organized
to combat any change in any schedule
of the sacred instrument. Dingleyism
is in the saddle in both houses. and
the tariff will stand unchanged until
consumers become intelligent enough
to see the vile work it does indirectly
and out of sight.

Bonds in the Market.

New York City recently offered $685.
100000 of 35s per cent bonds, and it
at once ascertained that it could not
obtain above 101 for such bonds, al.
though the previous issue had sold at
a fraction above 102. The big city's
credit stands unimpaired, but 1t is
stated that there is a surplus of bonds
on the market. The law of supply
and demand applies to gilt-edge Sc
curities as it does to those of lower
grade, and just now there is a glut
of high class bonds.
The Alabama renewal bonds may
have encountered the frost that over
took the bonds of New York city.
But if they did there is, fortunately,
time to wait on and invite new bids
in. Bids offered after big crops are
assured next fall and after all furries
in the market are quieted may prove
satisfactory even to Governor jerks.

AS BRITONS EYE OUR STAGE,

From the London Globe.
From what we have seen and heard of
the American stage. the art of playwriting
is In its infancy in America. Mr.. Augustus
Thomas is, to our mind, the most skilled
of American playwrights. and one light
comedy of his, in which a clergyman and
a professional pugilist played important
parts, reached a very high level; but the
rank and file of dramatsts In the states
have great deal to learn. One circum-
stance which greatly impedes the progress
of the drama on the other side of the At
lantic is the want of actors who can play
ordinary. matter-of-fact characters who
have nothing very vigorous to do, and, in
deed little to do at all except stand still,
and look and talk like gentlemen. The
American actor excels In the gun"
drama. He can wear leather breeches and
handle a revolver, but in the more subtle
passages of life he is out of his element.
Mr. Pinero's Lefty" we hear, suffered
severely from the inability of the actors
to realize the characters which they were
playing. Americans do well in eccentric
parts but they lack repose.

improvement that shout. be encouraged
by every citizen" said a business man
last night. THE purpose of Mr.. Marx
in coming to Birmingham was to illu-
inmate the clty's streets at night with
electric signs. He has recently lighted
up Knoxville so brightly and so artist-
cally that the people of the Tennessee
town are reported to be delighted. All
the signs made by the Marx factory are
handsome, expensive and the best OF
their class. A number of these illumina-
lions when placed about the streets Will
turn night into day and greatly enhance
the beauty of the city.
Mr. Marx has been here for five weeks
and has placed orders which cover prac-
tically all the prominent business firms
In the city An immense illuminated
sign will be placed on the First Nat
ional bank building which will be forty
feet high. Other signs, handsome in
design and supplied with scores of in
candescent globes, will be erected about
the city.
when all these signs are put UP the
town at night will look like a fairyland.
Just at present Mr.. Marx is having a
trssel with the city council in regard
t. street sign ordinance which is now
in force. He thinks that this difficulty
can be obviated, however, and will re-
main in Birmingham for some time yet,
designing signs and placing orders among
the business men,"

In the Capital OF Poland.

Order does not reign in Warsaw ex-
cept where butchery and death reign
The suppression of Polish nationality
has been a dangerous and hazardous
experiment ever since it was first
attempted, and the problem is more
fateful and vital than ever before. II
now points directly to revolution and
possible disaster for the Russians
themselves.
The Haunting of red flags in War
saw on Easter day did not spring from
loyalty or devotion to Russia, but it
was a very natural act, and the butch
cry that followed 1t was as unwise as
it was inhuman. Women and chill
dren were butchered in cold blood
after they had fed into churches and
backwards and like places. The sub
seauent bomb throwing grew out OF
the merciless acts of the Russian
army. A general strike has been
ordered, and the end is not yet.
The decree of religious liberty will
not satisfy the Poles who desire above
all else to preserve their native
tongue and customs, and who are
athirst for some degree of political
liberty. The Poles will not be salts
fed at all with the decree of religious
liberty. 1t will have no effect upon
the situation. 1t will not turn single
Pole towards Russia, and the Polish
capital will be as disloyal hereafter
to that country as 1t ever has been,
and the antagonistic feeling will be
deepened if that be possible.
