Uses a Delicate Perfume.

A young man bearing the earmarks
of an "agriculturist" walked into a
Main street grocery the other evening
and called for bottle of vanilla ex-
tract. Before opening the door to
step back into the street he pulled the
cork, poured a few drops Of the flavor
ing on his handkerchief, and as he
placed the bottle in his vest pocket,
remarked to the clerk: If there is any

Cheaper Electricity.

Coal has had its day, not because 1t
is not cheap and satisfactory fuel, but
because the steam engine is about to
undergo a great revolution in construo-
ton. And this revolution is but the be-
ginning of a series of vast changes in
the economy of electric power houses,
which must lead to the production Of
electricity for the public at prices the
humblest of homes can pay.-Elec-

A New Wrinkle In Tariff.

Solomon said, "There is nothing new
under the sun" If the wise king should
return to earth anG turn his luminous
mind to contemplation Of the tariff,
he would discover that new PROPOSE
ton on that yexed and yexing subject
has just been sprung upon an expect
ant world. 1t is continental free
trade"-a sort Of homeopathic dose, so
to speak. Certain philosophers have
held the opinion that one Of the main
causes Of our astounding growth since
we set up as q separate people is that
we have had free trade among our
selves. OF course the stand pat gang
will consider this as rank heresy. They
think that we would have grown more
II every state in the Union had state
and rider tariff against all the rest.
Nevertheless as there is no law In this
country establishing the crime Of leze
majesty folks will wag their tongues.
30 some Of them are urging free trade
with Canada, others with Mexico,
which emboldens still others to advo-
cate continental free trade! When this
amazing news reaches the American
Economist and other eminent stand
patters, they will throw several varie-
ties Of fits. Deficits may come and def
icits may go, but the stand patters-
the advocates Of special interests-will,
like Tennyson's brook, go on forever,
or until they are Jared loose.
| Texas wants reciprocity with Mexico;
Massa chusetts wants 1t with Canada.
One is a stronghold Of Democracy, the
other Of Republlcanism. Do these
things suggest anything to the stand
patters? By no manner of means. Like
the Bourbons, they learn nothing. If
Governor Douglas should be re-elect-
ed this fall in the old Bay State-a
thing by no means improbable-the cry
for tariff revision will become SO
strong that one Of two events will
come to pass-either the stand patters
will yield or they will be swept from
power. Personally like Hons. Serene

"PauI Morton's Double Role"

"Paul Morton's Double Role"
The language of the Washington
Post, like that of Truthful James, is
sometimes quite plain. In recent ed
itorial under the above heading 1t says:
In 1901 and 1902 Paul Morton. one Of the
vice presidents of the Santa Fe Railroad
COMPANY admitted to the interstate COM
merce commission that the contract be-
tween the Santa Fe and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company was illegal and
that the Santa Fee company knew 1t was
Illegal when 1t was made He admitted
also that rebates in violation of law had
been given by the railroads to the beef
trust.
In February last Attorney General
Moody with flourish of trumpets an
nounced the appointment of two distin-
guished lawyers for the purpose OF in
vestigating the violation OF the antirebate
law by the Santa Fe and Colorado Fuel
and Iron companies. Mr.. Morton having
become secretary of the navy and public
attention having been sharply drawn to
the necessity Of Furnishing violations Of
the antirebate law, 1t was declared by
the department of justice that the case
against the Santa Fe would be pushed
vigorously. without regard to personal or
political influence
In the three months that have passed
since the appointment of attorneys to In
vsstigate the violations of law in which
Mr.. Morton was involved as high official
Of the Santa Fe company the only init
nation that has reached the public of any
action has been the rumor that the spe-
cial attorneys were on the point OF re-
signing because they were prevented from
making vigorous investigation and pros
ecution. The inference of bad faith on
the part Of the department Of Justice was
vigorously denied. Still, so far as tangi-
BILE results are visible the presumption is
strong that the enthusiasm of the investi-
gators has been quietly and effectually
| neutralized.
When Mr.. Morton became the mouth
piece Of the president on the question OF
| rebate evils he invited the direct and
searching gaze Of the country. The anon
ally of his position was brought out In
glaring colors. Under which flag does
Paul Morton fight? Does he believe ir

Washinston's Proposed Auditorium.
Washington is the finest capital in
the world. That has been said SO often
that 1t has become trite, but 1t is new
ertheless true That 1t is SO is not only
matter Of faith, but also of pride,
with all true Americans. Like Zion of
old, 1t is beautiful for situation. The
Congressional library is the most
splendid building on the face Of the
appointments King Solomon's temple.
The capitol is taken as model Of edi-
fees of the kind. Anything that adds
to Washington's architectural attrac-
tiveness Is desirable and laudable.
Consequently everybody will be de-
lighted to learn that the denizens OF
that delectable city are considering
UNI worthy of them and worthy Of the
nations capital. What Is still more
pleasing is that they have civic pride
sufficient to build this auditorium
themselves, with their own money,
without asking our Uncle Samuel to
contribute anything-not even the site.
| The government should aid the resi-
dents in realizing the ideal Washing
ton by hereafter erecting all govern
mental buildings on the south side Of
Pennsylvania avenue, which Is now
very much in the nature Of an eyescre.
In some way and as soon as possible
every old ramshackle house from

ment ought to be removed and Penn

tended by Washington and LEnfant
to be-the handsomest thoroughfare
under the SUM- The new home for the
department Of commerce and labor
ought at once to be located on the
south side Of Pennsylvania avenue. and
the new home for the department Of
state ought to be there also, and as
other government buildings become
necessary there is where they should
be erected. No other sites ought 70 be
considered for any Of them. Convsn-
fence as well as desire to improve
the appearance Of the city dictates
this line Of action.
OF course from tho foregoing pyo-
gramme the new building for the ST.
preme court ought to be excepted. The
most fitting location for that Is north
of the Congressional library. That
