Philippine Tariff in the House.

The Philippine tariff debate in the
house consisted more of party nance
vouring for advantageous campaign
material than a discussion of the

Ohio, who began the debate, and of
an extended reply by Mr.. Williams.

the bill. but advocated rcadjustment
OF the tariff on business principles.

A boys essay on Editors.

Newspapers are sheets of paper
on which stuff is printed. The men
look over the paper to see if their
names Is in it, and the women use
it to put on the shelves and such.
| don't know how newspapers came
into the world. [ don think God
does. The Bible says nothing about
editors, and never heard of any
being in heaven. | guess the edit
ors are the missing link them fell
lows talk about. The first editor l
ever heard of was the fellow who
wrote up the flood. He has been
here ever since. for it seems that
editors never die. At least l never
seen dead one. Sometimes the
paper dies, and the people feel glad,
but someone starts it up again
Editors never went to school be-
cause they never got licked. our
paper is mighty poor one, but we
take it so ma can use it on our pan
try shelves. our editor don't
amount to much, but paw says he
had a poor chance when he was a
boy. He goes without undercloth-
es in winter, and has wife to sup
port him. Paw hasn't paid his
subscription in five years, and don't
intend to. He thinks maybe he
can help to starve the editor and
stop the paper.
