The hotel keepers of Topeka, Kansas,
in order to avoid what might prove an
awkward situation, have announced in
advance that "all rooms are taken" for
the expected influx Of delegates 20 a
Methodist conference 20 be held in that
city. This warning is for the purpose Of
keeping away a large number of negroes
who are expected as delegates TO the con-
ference and whom these hotel keepers
do not desire TO accommodate at their
houses.
The hotel keepers Of Des Moines Iowa
have come out fat-footed in a similar
move Of discrimination against negro
guests at their houses The Presbyterian
General Assembly will meet in that city
during this month and they have issued
positive announcement that they win not
entertain negro delegates. Some Of these
negro delegates viii be presidents Of oduca-
tional Institutions, but their standing viii
make no difference with the Dos Moines
hotel keepers. All viii be "nggers" ia
their eyes, and therefore not entitled to
accommodations at public houses where
white people are entertained.
Such gross discrimination in these two
cities viii be a sad disappointment to the
negroes throughout the South. The
latter have good reason 10 look upon
Kansas and Iowa the two States in which
Topeka and Des Moines are located, with
their overwhelming Republican maiori-
ties, as places where the black man would
be accorded an his rights under the law,
without the slightest attempt at discrimi-
nation. But now they are rudely in
formed that Kansas and Iowa are to draw
the color line as ruthlessly as it is drawn
by the most bourbon community of the
Democratic South
The situation set forth by these incl
dents is: Those communities in which
negro residents are few in number will
howl against discrimination in communi-
ties where negroes are plentiful; but when
they are confronted with the negro prob
lem in a tangible form, as arc the hotel
keepers of Topeka and Des Moines, they
are just as harsh and unbending in their
preiudices as are the people Of those COM
munities where discrimination is neces-
sary for the best interests Of whites and
blacks alike

To Preserve a Famous Place.

One Of the famous landmarks Of New
York City is Fmunces' Tavern, at the
corner Of Broad and Pearl streets, in the
very heart Of the wholesale business dis
trict.
Faunces' Tavern was established in
1862, by Samuel Fraunces. It was
called the Queens Head" /" for this was
in the loyal days Of the Colonies. The
building, FIVE stories high, was erected in
l7iO, as a residence. The New York
Chamber Of Commerce was organized
there, in 1903. Il was the meeting place
of the Sons Of Liberty during the stir
ring days prior TO the American Revolu-
tion. Fraunces, from whom the tavern
took its present name, was a patriot, and
was obliged TO fee when the British occu-
pied the city He returned after the
American re-entry, and prepared the
famous banquet which Gov. Henry Clin-
ton gave to Gen. George Washington in a
room of the tavern which to this day is
called tho Washington long room" "
Soon after this notable event, on De-
cember 4th, 1883, Washington gathered
his officers about him in Fraunces' Tavern
and hade them an affectionate farewell.
A century later the Sons of the Revolu-
tion society was organized in the wash
ington long room, " of this old hostelrie.
Fraunces' Tavern continued to be a
house of public entertainment up to the
present day. Recently it was conducted
as an eatinghouse and liquor saloon, and
it is said that the old "tap room," under
the modern management, resembled the
the typical East Side beer saloon.
But at last a change has come. Or
May 18th, 1904, the Sons of the Rovolu.
tion purchased the Fraunces' Tavern
property, for the purpose of preserving
il as one of the most historic places in tn,
United States. Yesterday the society
took formal possession of the building, anc
it viii cease to be a house Of public enter
tainmont.
Il is well that this patriotic society hai
taken charge of this historic old building
Il viii now rank with Independence Hal
and Mt. Vernon as a sacred shrine O.

Trndn va Arrnntinn-

Commerce Of the United States with
Argentina aggregates over $4,000 900
per annum, and is growing very rapidly
In the fiscal year l9O5-the year ending
June 30th-ihe total was $50 900 900; in
the calendar year 1905 the total was S45.-
500 1000; and in the eight months of the
fiscal year 1906, for which the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, through
its Bureau of Statistics, has presented
figures, the total Of s34 300 600 seems to
justify the prediction that for the full
fiscal year which ends June 3Oth, will
reach $50 100000.
Notwithstanding the rapid growth in
the trade of the United States with Argen-
tina, the percentage of its imports sup
piled from this country is comparatively
small, being but about Is per cent Of its
total imports, while we supply 36 per
cent of the imports OF Venezuela, "a per
cent of those of Colombia. % per cent of
those of British Guiana, 25 per cent of
those Of Ecuador. IS per cent of those Of
Peru, and l5 per cent Of those of the Dutch
West Indies The South American coun-
tries whose percentage of imports from
the United States are less than that of
Argentina are: Brazil, which takes but
II per cent Of her imports from us; Chile,
SO per cent; Uruguay, So per cent;
Bolivia, 6 2-3 per cent, and Paraguay, 315
per cent The total imports Of all South
America, are, in round terms. $3.50 600 900.
Of which the United States supplies about
l3 per cent. and the total exports Of all
South America are S63O 600 600, Of which
the United States takes about p per cent.
Naturally the United States takes a
small percentage Of the exports of Argen-
tina, since the products Of that country
for expectation are largely Of the same
character as those OF the United States,
namely, wheat, corn and meats, our
chief importations from Argentina being
wool, S7,500,O00, and hides and skins,
$1,000 600. The United States takes
less than 4 per cent Of the exports of Ar
gentina and supplies 10 per cent Of her
imports. The bulk of Argentinas inn
ports are drawn from European countries,
her own figures Of imports for 1905 show
ing the total importation from the United
Kingdom 10 be 5000 900; from Ger
many, S2s,O00,OOO; from the United
States, a little less than S2s 900;
from France, over $50 ,OOO,O 600, and Italy,
Sl9,500OO0. The principal imports Of
Argentina are textiles, wearing apparel
manufactures of iron and steel, manufac-
lures of wool, pottery, glass, chemicals
mineral oils, paper and tobacco. OF iron and
steel manufactures, mineral oil and to.
bacco the United States supplies fail
share, but in other articles, especially tex.
tiles, the proportion drawn from the
United States is very small.

If all other labor organizations of San
Francisco follow the example set by the
Brieklayers' Union, no obstructions to
the rebuilding of the city will be thrown
down by organized labor in the way of
hair-splitting objections to the employ
ment of men who may not be affiliated
with the unions.
At meeting of the Bricllayers' Union
held on the night of Monday, April Dist
time measures were adopted 10 keep the
rates of the union down TO rs cents an
hour which is the usual rate. It was
also decided to work as long as necessary,
from 8 a. M. TO p. m. if required. The
regular wages have been Sc a day for
eight hours. For overtime double pay
was charged, which rule held true for
Sunday. All the regular union men and
any other man who shows he is competent
whether he has a union card OF not, hav
been appointed inspectors to examine the
work done on the chimneys, and if any
are found in poor condition they will be
torn down. All non-union men must
show permit that they are competent.
This wise and commendable action.
if generally adopted viii greatly simplify
the work of rebuilding There viii be a
tremendous demand for labor, and it is
not conceivable that union labor alone
can supply that demand. For union
labor therefore, to refuse to work along
side of non-union labor in the various
lines of employment that enter into the
work of rebuilding, would largely retard
the operations and bring about endless
confusion and discord.
All other labor unions in San Francisco
should follow this admirable example,
BY doing so they will show their earnest
sympathy for the stricken city and their
desire to do all in their power for its re-
habilitation Not dollar of loss will
be sustained through this course, and If
anything, the union will be strengthened.
But the contrary course, with its result
ant injury through delay and labor COM
plications,w would bring the cause of organ
lied labor intodeservcd contempt through
out the country.

TarIff Trutn Ion Knnana.

Very emphatic, indeed, were the Demo-
Gratis of Kansas in the tariff declaration
OF the platform adopted by their recent
State Convention. They reafhrmed the
Tilden-Cleveland doctrine Of "a tariff for
revenue only" and added: owe are for
free raw material, and we are willing to
give TO the laborer of the East free hides
in competition with our hides, because
the Beet Trust robs us even of the hair,
and then sells the balance to the Eastern
manufacturer at a fixed and higher price,
80 that the poor are shoeless."
In this declaration the Kansas Demo-
Gratis are speaking of that which they
know. The people Of that State raise
cattle, but the Beef Trust fixes the prices
that are paid for cattle and their hides.
The Beef Trust also fixes the price at
which it sells these hides to the Eastern
manufacturers, to be turned into shoes.
Being protected by the tariff from inn
portations Of hides from Mexico and
South America, the Beef Trust has abso-
Lutte power in determining what prices
1t shall pay for hides to the Kansas farm
ers, and what prices il will sell them for
the Eastern manufacturers. OF course,
ITS buying price is the lowest and its selling
price the highest, as there is no competi-
tion to regulate either transaction. The
people Of Kansas get no benefit from the
tariff, nor do the customers of the Eastern
shoe manufacturers. How the latter are
pinched is attested by the declaration Of
ex-Gov. Douglas Of Massachusetts,.
large manufacturer of shoes, that with
free hides he could retail his $3.50 shoe
for SO per pair. The buyer thus pays 50
cents on each pair to the Beef Trust, by
reason of the protective tariff.
No wonder the farmers Of Kansas are
protesting against such a situation. And
the protest of the Democratic State Con-
vention is not a mere partisan declaration,
as 1t portrays a situation in which all the
people of Kansas have a deep concern.

Sheriff sharpless of Northumberland
county, Pa, is quoted as saying. in rcla-
tion to the strike disturbances Of Monday
at Mt. Carmel, when the State constabu-
larry were attacked and used their guns in
seli-delence, that the appearance of the
constabulary was "distasteiul to the
miners, especially the foreign element"
Referring to the same lamentabe in-
cident President Mitchell of the miners
organization is thus quoted: "The state
constabulary were probably source of
irritation to the foreign people, Of M.
Carmel.
The State constabulary organization
was established by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, as a branch Of the law
enforcing power of the State. Loyal.

tasteful or a "source of irritation"

GALL For The LOVE or A LADY" BY
Elnor Mccartney Lane. Illustrations
by Arthur Beecher. New York City:
d. Appleton d Co. Price, SIPS.
A sweet and dainty story of love is this
Of the love of a lady who lived in Scot
land IN the days when Charles was King
of England, and when intrigues and
treasons were as natural as love itself
and as prevalent
The telling of the story is given to
dry and musty old Edinburgh lawyer,
but 10 is told with an interest entirely
foreign to the solemn and unromantic
realms of the law His profession is but
an incident that draws him within its
circle, and none of the rules or limitations
OF court practice are permitted to circum-
scribe the detail OF doings and sayings
that make this most attractive and
interesting book.
GAN For the Love Of Lady" is the tale
OF an hours reading, but an hour that no
reader will ever begrudge. For the lady
is lovely in form and character and her
lovers are picturesque, though diverse.
They comprise a noble lord of France, a
scheming, traitorous baronet of Scotland &,
and two manly lads of tender age, whose
fierce rivalry for her affections has all the
ardor of maturer years, and whose loyal
hearts unite In the task of releasing the
lovely lady from the calling thmldom of
the unhappy fate which at first oertakes
her, and opening the way TO her sub
sequent union with the choice of her
heart, the noble lord of France.
The events that reveal this story of
love, treachery, intrigue, treason, be-
trayal. danger and final triumph of love,
and truth are told with a winning interest
of recital that has had no counterpart
since Monsieur Beaucaire" Altogether,
it is a most delightful production, as pretty
and charming throughout as are the ex-
quisite type and binding in which the
printers have clothed It,

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

The human soul that through me ran;
And much Il grieved my heart to think
What man has made OF man.
Through primrose tufts, in that sweet bower,
The periwinkle trailed it's wreaths;
And It's my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air It breathes.
The birds around me hoped and played
Their thoughts cannot measure
But the least motion which they made,

To catch the breezy air;
And / must think, do all / can,
