As the time draws near for the new discriminating tariff in Germany to work against this country, and the time will be ripe on March 6. the stand pat element in congress is get ting more and more uneasy, says a Washington writer. It becomes in- creasingly likely that there will be tariff talk if nothing more. and next to action, talk is the thing that Speak CT Cannon dreads. Congress is being assailed from different points. The president has said that he will not send another reciprocity treaty to the senate till he is positively assured that it will pass. But Secretary Root has been talking to several influential sen- ators with view to making them see that such a measure ought to pass. Baron Skernburg. the German ambas- sador. has had several conferences at the state department, presumably out lining what concessions Germany will be willing to make in case either treaty or a modus vivendi is arranged. Then. in the house committee on ways and means, there is not that unanim- ity of opinion as to keeping the lld screwed down that Speaker Cannon thought there would be when he or ganized the committee. Representa- tive McCleary. the new member of the committee, has already drafted bill which he believes can be reported. aimed especially at Germany and pro- viding for a retaliatory duty of 9 per cent to be enforced against any coun- try that discriminates against the United States. MT Needham of Cali fornia is out gunning for the Cuban reciprocity arrangement on the ground that it is hurting the agricultural con- munity. This is not so. but then it means another member anxious and likely to talk. The granger folk of the middle west, who would be the ones worst hit by the new German tariff. are already growing ominously, and Representative Babcock is again threatening to lay profane hands on the sacred steel schedules. Congress foregathered with the jaunty declara- ton that rate legislation and tariff re- vision were both irridescent dreams and there would be none of them this season. Rate bill ars now thicker than jay birds in hucklebsrry- time, and it looks more and more as though the safety valve might blow off with a blast of hot air if nothing worse anent tariff revision. It is not likely that there will he anything more than tariff talk this session. But talk is one of the things the stand patters dread. The other side has too many logical sounding arguments that it is anxious to use.

GIFT ID THE KAISER
GERMAN AMERICANS TO REMEM- BER HIS SILVER WEDDING.
Elaborate and Costly Punch Bowl, Made Entirely of Materials from
 Every Part of America, Now Being Manufactured.

On February 27, 1906, the emperor and empress of Germany will have been married just 25 years, and in hon. or of this silver wedding anniversary the associated Germans of America will present their felicitatlons in the form of an unusually interesting punch bowl fashioned in every particular from American materials - gold, silver bronze, ivory, stone anu prehistoric woods from all parts of North Ameri. ca It will cost in the neighborhood of 5000.
 In this gift the Krieger Verband of America wish to express to His Majesty Wilhelm II. their appreciation of his friendship for-their adopted country, which he so plainly has shown by pre- senting to it a bronze statue of his grandfather, Frederick the Great, erect ed recently in Washington.
 The competition for an appropriate design for this purpose was extended to all of the leading men of the craft throughout the country, and many were the responses in the form of excellent ideas and designs. The one selected as best fitting the occasion and convey ing the broadest tribute from all Amer ica is the work of MT. Alfred Lenz, a New York sculptor.
 The theme which Mir. Lenz has chosen for his design is entirely within the realm of the early peoples of Amer ica-from Aztec to Esquimaux. and is consistent with the purpose to which it is applied. The ''ideal' treatment of aboriginal ornament offers an inter- esting argument in favor of the very "oldness" rather than the "newness" of a country thus far not credited with the possession of any distinct charac- ter of ornament ''all its own"
 It is the opinion of Mir. Lenz that ultimately a character of ornament recognized as American" must be a blending of the Torrid. Temperate and Arctic Indian, containing as 1t does a wealth of beauty and art drawn direct ly from nature and preserved by her.
 This punch bowl. unlike most others. is to rest upon a pedestal which raises it four and one-half feet from the floor. It has a circular base of matched woods of historic value contributed from every state and territory. Upon this is a circular stylobate of silver fashioned in imitation of hewn rock Aztec hisroglyphics of peaeetreaty sym bols. Similarly decorated ornaments

 The plainness of the bowl is only broken by conservative treatment of rawhide, drawn urumlike over the swell and laced to the base by thongs of rawhide. in effect binding at the base fringe of eagles feathers.
 Three graceful handles. following the line of drawn warriors bow, are laced in at the base and touch only again at the frieze at the top of the bowl. which is adapted from the Alas ka Indians totem pole. The entire treatment of the design is that of classic" aboriginal ornament

bury who are holding life positions all lowed to continue in office in a demo- cratic city? Simply because things have been fixed so they cannot be touched. The republicans go to the legislature when they want anything of this sort, and there they get what they want. They will make another trip there very soon, no doubt. for things are getting too close for com fort in the first ward. The democrats should be allowed. the plums when they capture the field. They won a fair fight and the offices belong to them. Let the good work go on.
