The Burmese woman must make all
excellent wife. A Singapore paper says
that her highest ambition is to main
taiu her husband in lordly idIeness and
TO supply him with abundant funds for
cock fighting, bullock cart raciag and
gambling. And many of the Burmese
women do big deals in timber, buying
up in advance the paddy" crops OF

that requires big financing. When the
Alexandria men read this many of them
will seriously consider the proposition
of going to Burmah.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 7. 1906.

REVISION OF the tariff can come only
AZ the result OF democratic victory IN
the next election. This is the virtual
declaration of Speaker Cannon in the
statement issued by him yesterday and
published in the Gazette Of that day.
The publication of letter written by
Mr.. Cannon to friend in Ohio, and
reference to the missive by Mr.. Rainey,
of Illinois. in the debate in the House,
caused the Speaker to break his general
rule and to give an authorized statement
expressing his views on the subject OF
tariff changes. Two significant sentences
have been accepted by republicans and
democrats alike as an open defiance oil
the tariff revision sentiment of the coun-
try, and an announcement that, 30 long
as he is Speaker, Cannon will fight every
effort to change the present tariff law.
The sentences read:
Our friends the enemy insist upon
an immediate revision of the tariff. II
majority of the people demand immediate
general revision, they will elect major
ity of'the Representatives in favor OF I'M
mediate general revision.
No such emphatic utterance had been
made by the "stand-patters' as this,
and the unmistakable intention OF The
Speaker to serve notice upon the Amerl-
can people that they can hope for no
Reimbursement of tariff schedules from a
republican majority in the House, Is
commented upon as meaning also that
q republican victory this fall will he
accepted by the Speaker and those "hc
think with him as an Endorsement Oh
the "staDd-pat" policy. Inasmuch al
this is a virtual reputation of The
national platform, which declared in
favor of tariff changes by the friends OF
the protective system, it is believed that
Mr.. Cannon has determined to inject
the tariff issue into the coming campaign,
with himself as the leading champion
of the present system.

The real reason that no agreement
