Andrew Johnxon.s writing.

The letters of President Taylor are
rare, but perhaps those of Andrew
Johnson are the rarest. as he did but
little of his own writing. His son
conducted most of his correspondence
and signed his, fathers name to the
letters. 1t is related that one reason
why President Johnson Wrote so little
was owing to an accident which hap
pened to him when he was working at
his trade as tailor. One day a tailor's
heavy iron goose fell on his arm, so
injuring that member that he found it
extremely difficult to indulge in pen.
manship thereafter Andrew Johnson
was the poorest writer among the
presidents as well as the rarest His
handwriting was very much of a
scrawl and can scarcely be deciphered
by the average reader.

Simpson loved to take his Republican

his aversion to their principles and on
account of his natural love of a scrap.
There must have been a dominant
streak Of Hibernian blood i'll the man.
Simpsons Geath is a distinct loss to
the cause of truly representative gov

Roosevelt In 1908?

Notwithstanding President Roose-
velt's positive assertion on the night of
the election that he would not again
be candidate for the presidential
nomination, and Notwithstanding his
reiteration of that statement on more
than one occasion, the possibility of
such an event has been frequently dis
cussed and is being discussed right
now. His trip through the south has
revived that sort of talk. Everybody
likes to see him enjoy himself, but
aspiring Republican statesmen are be-
ginning to be worried by passing
events. This dispatch shows how
things are looked at by certain parties
in Washington, where politics is al
ways the theme:
Washington, Oct. &c. = Presidential as
pirants view with alarm the enthusiasm
with which President Roosevelt is greeted
posed that the south was one section of
the country which the president could not
by any possible means win over to his
methods of doing things. But the trl-
umphaI tour OF she southern states has
changed the general impression and has
greatly excited friends of all the men who
have been mentioned for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1908.
They seem TO be genuinely alarmed lest
there should be great popular uprising
and the nomination again thrust upon
President Roosevelt in spite of the decla-
ration he made last November. when he
received news of his election, that under
no circumstances would he seek or ac-
cept another term of Office. They are
afraid there viii be realignment of par
ties in the country and that conservative
Democrats will unite with conservative
Republicans, with Roosevelt as the COM
promise candidate between these two ele-
nents. leaving Bryan to gather to him
self ali the supporters of municipal own
ership and other factions and believers
from the radical elements of all political
parties.

What Next?

Now that Senator William 3. Allison
of Iowa has proclaimed Ex-Governor
Leslie NJ. Shaw, secretary of the treas
presidency, everybody will be on the
qui viye to see what Governor Albert
B. Cunmins will do next. 1t is GER
tainly up to him to do something and
to do it quick; otherwise he is a gone
fawn skin. Viii he haul in his horns
and meek.y submit to be drawn at the
chariot Wheels of the arch stand pat
ter? Will he throw his cap ia air as the
Shaw presidential procession passes
by and yell 10 triomphe. 10 tri
omphe.' at the top of his voice! He
cannot afford to do anything of the
sort He is persona non grata to every
stand patter in the, land, and if he sub
sides now his name will be mud.
When so cautious a statesman as Sen
ator Allison pronounces an unequivo-
cal opinion in favor of any man or
measure it may be taken for granted
that he represents the Republican
opinion of Iowa or thinks he does, for
to him most of all men the voice of the
people of Iowa is the voice of God. In
this view of the matter it must appear
to the senator that Iowa Republicans
are for Shaw.
A little while ago it was announced
that GovemorSenator La Toilette of
Wisconsin was about to make forty
speeches in iowa for the purpose Of
overtinowing the stand par delegation
in congress, anu it Was taken for
granted that his invasion of the Hawk
eye commonwealth was for the pur-
pose Of helping Governor Cummins,
with whom be was said to have IN UNI
derstanding.

ok In the East.

Governor Isosi9 las had triumphal en-
frances into some cities of both the
west and east lattery. He has just
returned from a very Gathering recep-
ton in Philadelphia, where he went to
help Mayor Weaver in his magnificent
fight against tie Republican bosses of
the worst Doodle ridden city in Amer
lea. The press dispatches say that the
crowds outside the Academy of Music
consisted of thousands OF enthusiastic
citizens who couldn't get inside the
doors and that other thousands be-
sieged him at his hotel. demanding i
speech. The reputation of his deeds,
done as q prosecuting attorney and
governor, has evidently reached the
Philadeiphians good and strong, and
his work was OF snch sort as TO APP
peal very keenly to them in their own
situation.

"oermany's Tariff Retaliation

Under the above caption the Kansas
City Star, independent Republican, con-
tains the following significant editorial:
From the summary given out by the de-
partment of commerce and labor it is EVIL
dent that the new tariff schedule proposed
by Germany will seriously affect trade
with the United States. About 15 per cent
of the American exports consists of food
stuffs and raw material. On these the
rates are to be raised from so to 200 per
cent
Since America sells to Germany more
than s2t0.o000 900 worth of goods every year
and since the trade has developed remark
ably within the last decade, the tariff war
checking the growth of an excellent mar
ket.
The trouble is the immediate fruit of
the stand pat tariff policy of congress
For three-quarters OF a century the Unit
ed States has been trading with Germany
under the provisions of treaty granting
to this government all the commercial
concessions allowed by Germany to the
most favored nations" In the last few
years the Berlin government has nego-
tiated reciprocity treaties with some of its
most important neighbors In return for
privileges granted it has reduced various
tariff rates. Under the most favored ma
ton provision it has been forced to ex-
tend these concessions to the United
States, although this government has
steadily refused to reciprocate except in
the case of sugar duties.
This Inyieiding policy has naturally led
to a determination to retaliate by the
abrogation of the treaty of 1875 and by
putting a high schedule of duties in eff
feet against American exports. The Unit
ed States government has not abandoned
hope of persuading Germany TO recon-
slider its intention. But it is evident that
a stand pat tariff policy may harm Amer
lean industry in more ways than one

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

After several terms in the house, dur
ing the last of which he was speaker,
General j. Warren Keifer of Ohio went
after q retirement of twenty two years,
he returns to the scenes of his labOrS
andfhis triulnphs. Recently he was in
Washington and III an interview said;
"Of all the Democratic representatives
with whom | served III congress not
one win be present when the house is
called to order next December On
the Republican side there will be only
five of my former colleagues" He
will, / fancy, feel much like one resur-
rected out of his time His statement
is q new proof of the eyanescence of all
things human, especially of things po-
lltical 1t will be remembered in this
connection that the average length of
service in the house, according to Amos
Cummings, is only four years. Judge
William S. Holman of Indiana was the
first man to serve thirty years in that
body. He died about the middle of
his thirty-frst year. He was nominal
running elected sixteen times and de-
feated four times. Until he finished
his fifteenth term there was Il super
stition to the effect that no man would
ever serve thirty years. That grew
out of the fact, suppose, that several
had been elected fifteen times, but all
before him failed to live out their fif-
teenth term In England they do things
differently. Many serve more than
thirty years or even forty. Gladstone
was in the house OF commons. ffty-fve
years and in the cabinet about fifty.
They begin earlier and serve longer
An Englishman may be elected by any
constituency in the kingdom. In that
way each party manages to keep its
