a Rippinu Dream.


When my uncle first started In
business as a general merchant in a
country town it was in partnership
with a young fellow of about his own
age.
Both boys were very enthusiastic
about their work, and after long days
behind the counter they would 90 to
their room above the store and con-
tinue to talk shop" far into the night.
My uncle's partner was particularly
engrossed in his work, and often his
sleep was disturbed by dreams Of Gus
toners and big sales
One night 'hs nightmare reached
the climax. Evidently the dreamer
was just in the act of selling some
cotton goods, for my uncle felt his
night shirt go "r-i-i-p," straight ny the
back. while his partner was calmly
saying:

State Senator John Ford told the
following:
I'm little town in New England
there was once a man who had great
idea of his own importance. He had
the worst sort of a swelled head, and
thought the town could not exist with
out him. He had held town offices and
sincerely believed that no one dis
charged the duties of those Offices as
he had He had also helped the town
materially by giving it money for
various purposes. But he was not
content with the thanks of the towns
people for his services. He believed
that there should be some distinct rec
ognition OF his worth to the commun-
ity. So one day at a town meeting he
asked permission to be buried in the
town plot in the center of which the
town hall stood.
"The Town Councillors laughed and
the petition was tabled The follow

thing, and again it was tabled. The

Struggle for Wealth Almost Equal to
Wall Street Frenzy

A young fellow, a fellow passenger,
was leaning upon the rail beside me,
looking upon the scene below. He told
me to watch and he would show me
some sport. He drew a dime out Of
his pocket He waved his arm to at
tract the attention of the negroes
down upon the lower deck, and then
he flung the coin. 1t fell tinkling. and
rolled between two cotton bales With
yells, the negroes rushed at it tumul-
tuously, piling over one another, a
tangled mass of waving arms and legs,
whence issued muffled groans and
grunts. Then, suddenly, the mass dis
solved again into a mob of rousters,
gaping up at us with rolling yellow
eyes, and heaving chests and dilated
nostrils. Another piece of silver
twinkled in the air and fell among
them. Leaping and grabbing, the
negroes snatched at the falling coin,
then plunged again into heap.
BY this time others of the Fassen-
gers had heard the noise and the
scuffling, and soon quite a crowd was
gathered along the rail A shower
OF change began to fall upon the deck
below and into the crowd Of now
half frantic blacks.
II was comical spectacle. A
little while before the negroes had been
quietly busted about their own affairs;

among them, and in less than a min

been arranged that the question in dis

CHICAGO DECLARES FOR
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Chicago, April, 4.-Under the result
of the city election held yesterday, in
which the question of municipal own.
ership of the street railways was the
vital issue, the city of Chicago can
proceed to acquire and control the
railways, but cannot operate them.
At the same time the voters, while
declaring that the city shall not pro-
coed to operate the railroads, declared
that as a question of policy 1t would
be desirable for the city to do so.
Three propositions were submitted
to the voters, the first Of which was:
| "Shall the city of Chicago proceed to
operate street railways?" This propo-
sition required 60 per cent of the to-
tai vote cast in order to become effect
i've. The total vote was 23l, III. OF
this number 1870, 9l1 were cast in favor
of municipal operation of the street
railways and 1925 against it. In
order to become binding the PROPOSE
ton to operate the railways should
have received 1888. 706 votes. 1t there
fore fell short of the required num- Der
by II, 792 votes.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council, providing
for the issue of street railway certifl-
Gates in amount not to exceed s75,
600, 600 for the purchase, ownership
and maintenance of the street rail
ways. This was carried by vote OF
| 40. 008 against 100. $50,
Principle Is Approved.
The third question, which WAS sim
ply on the question of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever, is,
"Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure the municipal own.
ership and operation of the street rail
ways under the Mueller law, instead
Of granting franchises to private com
panies?"
This proposition was carried by a
vote of III SEQ to 1OS.O25.
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
of the $75, 200, 900 CERTIFICATES and pub
lie policy propositions as a victory for
municipal ownership. but expressed
his disappointment over the defeat of
the proposition for municipal opera
ton.
OF the thirty-five aldermen elected
yesterday Mayor Dunno claims that
nineteen are avowed champions Of mu-
nicipal ownership and that he will
have much less difficulty in passing
measures relating to that doctrine
through the city council than has been
his fortune heretofore. The faction
opposed to municipal ownership de.
clares that they still hold control of
the council and that Mayor Dunno
will have no greater success in the fu.
ture than he has in the past.

RULING BY HITCHCOCK
ON combinations

Washington. April 5.--Secretary
Hitchcock has put all homesteaders on
public lands on notice that, if they
intend to commute their entries, they
shall reamin upon the land continu-
ously during eight months Of the four
teen months Communication period.
Three decisions, all along the same
line, have been handed down by the
secretary in the past month. In all
three cases the entrymen had offered
proof with their applications to com-
mute which was deemed insufficient as
to residence by the commissioner of
the general land office, whose opinion
was sustained by the secretary.
Under the practice iof the interior
department homesteader may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered 10y his
application-that Is, he may take that
length of time to go upon his land and
build his house and start cultivation.

to Edward Edwards, president of the
United States Potters' Association, in
which he says revision of the tariff
is sure to come.
II am satisfied there will be no tar.

without saying that the desire for q
change which exists in the common
mind will drive the Republican party,
II continued in power, to traiff revi
sion. do not want it, but it will
come in the not distant FUTURE says
the letter.
Explanation of Letter.
Washington, April g. Speaker
Cannon has made an explanation of q
letter recently written by him to q
friend in East Liverpool, Ohio, re.
garding the tariff. The letter was
published and seemed to indicate that
the tariff revision would probably
come in the future. The statement
of the speaker follows:
II was not aware that l was writ
ing letter for publication, although
l have no objection to it's publication.
There are many people in the country
who believe that single schedule, OF
a few schedules, of the tariff may be
amended. This is entirely impracti.
cable, or while an amendment to sin.
gle schedule might please a single in.
terest, it would not command enough
votes to enact it.
In my opinion nothing can be done
except by complete revision off the
tariff which would be compromise
that would command majority vote
Of the 1856 members of the house of 70.
representatives. and ninety senators. The
enactment of such a revision and the
time necessary to adjust it to condi.
tions would halt production, consump.
ton and commerce or at least twelve
months, and when the compromise
is enacted as a whole, it will prob.
ably not be an improvement on the
present law.
II don't believe n majority off the
people at this time desire to interfere
with the present conditions, which are
the most prosperous conditions we
have had in the republic to the labor.
or, to the farmer, to the capitalist,
producer aid to the consumer.
THAT the time will come when a
general revision will be entered upon
| have no doubt. but for the general
interest of the whole country, the re-
vision should be postponed as long as
possible.
Congress reflects the will of the
people, and the house of representa-
tives is chosen every two years. There
will be a congressional election next
November. Our friends, the enemy,
insist on an immediate revision of the
tariff. If majority of the people de-
mand immediate revision thoy will
elect a majority of the mebmers OF
this house in favor of immediate re-
vision"
