The Tariff and Danger.

The Boston Herald makes this sug-
gestion:
'The republican party would have moth
ing to fear from an honest revision of the
tariff in the interest of American con-
sumers and American commerce, now or
punished, nor ever will be, for relieving
the people of the burden of unnecessary
and therefore unjust taxation"
A revision of the tariff on the lines laid
down by Mr.. Mckinley in his last speech
at Buffalo would be the best thing the re-
publican party could do for the country
and for itself. 1t would renew its reputa-
ton for courage and business management
and the country would profit by an adjust
ment of the policy of protection to the
actual needs of the period. st
There is nothing in the assertion that a
revision of the tariff is fatal to the party
making it. 1t is the prize bugaboo OF the
standpatters, but the record unmasks it.
In 1888 a democratic House passed the
Mills tariff BILL which could go no further
because of a republican Senate The meas
ure. while not extreme. was drafted on low
tariff lines. and the party went before the
country on it, But Mr.. Cleveland's defeat
for reelection was not the result of that
bill, but of his own personal unpopularity.
He had in one way or another offended
many of his party's leaders, and the cam
paign was sluggish from first to last.
In 1890 the republicans, under Mr. Nc
kinleys leadership, revised the tariff and
lost the House. But the bill had been in
operation only month, and had had no
trial at all when the country voted. Be-
sides, Mr.. Reeds revision of the House
rules was issue that year, and, while
afterward much applauded was at that
time unpopular In 1892 Mr. Cleveland was
elected, not because of the Mckinley tariff
law, but largely because of the Homestead
strike and the weakness of his opponent
Gen. Harrison was as unpopular that year
as Mr.. Cleveland had been in 1888.
The democratic revision of the tariff In
1894 was a botch, and deserved rebuke at
the polls. Two years later the republicans
made what use they could of it, but the
emphasis that Mr.. Bryan laid on the free
coinage of silver obscured the German Will
son bill in the campaign, and gave tbs. re-
publicans the victory.
In 1897 the republicans, guided by Nelson
Dingley, revised the tariff upon sound
broad, protection principles, and not only
carried the next congressional elections, but
have carried all elections, congressional and
presidential. since. That revision was not
"a source of weakness to the party making
it, but of great strength.
The Dingley law is nearly ten years old
and under it all sections have prospered so
greatly that it's inequalities are now pretty
glaring. Why not correct them? Where
would the danger come in?

paper organ and had not repeated his self
discrediting verbal assaults in an official
document given out by him for publica ton
prior to its submission to the board of edu-
cation.
Clearly it is not now for the first time,
that Dr. Chancellor has threatened the
welfare of the whole school system. He
did it at the moment when he hastily
adopted and acted upon the view that all
the teacherships had been vacated by the
law; he did it when he assumed that any
one who disagreed with aim on this point
Cor on any point was either ignorant or
malicious. and on this assumption slurred
the motives of honest critics in and out OF
the school system; he did 1t when he as
sumed unlimited power to dismiss teachers
abruptly, arbitrarily, without a trial, and
by an "exasperated outbreak coerced the
board of education into consenting to his
lawlessness
The Star has always been the well-wisher
and helper of the teachers. 1t has always
labored to right wrongs an to remedy in
justices inflicted upon them, either individ-
ually or collectively. 1t was one OF the
strongest forces to aid them in the campaign
for increased pay. 1t fought to give them
living salaries to retain our efficient force
in Washington in spite of the temptation to
seek or accept higher paid positions in other
places. When the law, for the enactment OF
which it had worked as blessing to the
teachers, not only increasing their pay but
Strengthening the stability of their. tenure
of office, was misconstrued into a statute
under which all of them lost all of their
pay unless reappointed at the whim of
stranger from Paterson, N. j., and under
yb ich yub ppoipted theV subject
to instant arbitrary removal without
charge or hearing at the caprice of the
same stranger, The Star vigorously OPP
posed this unjust and shameful perversion
of the law and criticised with all its force
any one and every one who advocated 1t.
If as the Times intimates The Star stood
alone in this attitude the more shame to
others who pretended to be the friends of
the teachers but deserted them in their
hour of need.
The Stars campaign in behalf of fair play
for the teachers individually and collect
lively has not been failure. Its view of
the status of the teachers, as a continuous
force, at first rejected disdanfully, has
been accepted and acted upon, saving many
official lives, by the board and the superin-
tendent himself; its opinion concerning the
teachers right of trial has been approved
by the court and was yesterday accepted
by the board Notwithstanding the supern-
tendent had overruled the court; and its
opinion that DR.. Chancelor's superintend
ency is injurious to the teachers and the
schools, based upon his total misconception
of the relation of his office to the Commits
sioners, Congress, the courts, the teachers
and the board of education, and upon his
vanity, his ungovernable temper and his
lack of tact is now entertained the Star
believes, by nearly everybody in Washing
ton, including since yesterday the long
faithful Times itself. 80

The Holly Bough.

Some friends are like the roses sweet,
Who bloom, when summer warns the air,
With gentle smiling to complete
A scene that is already fair.
But when the wintry skies are gray
Alack! The roses fade away!
And some are like the holly bough
With thorny leaf and stalwart mien
Whose rugged touch would wound the brow
OF pleasure in a summer scene.
But when the winter frowns, severe,
The holly bough is stanch with cheer.

LAKE BRADY To Be SOLD
Under Mortgage ForeoIosure-TitIe
May Be Questioned.

Kent, O., Sept. 1.-THE resort
known as the Lake Brady property
east of this city, will be offered at
sheriff sale on the 18th of October. 1t
is appraised at $4,000 and embraces
the hotel and theatre together with
the cottages. About year ago this
property was sold to w. A. Calhoun, of
East Liverpool, for $26 900, but small
payment was made down and none
subsequently. There is a prospect of
suit over the title to this property.
Within the past year an attorney, Tor
merly of this city, but now residing in
California, presented quit claim deed
for record at the county seat for the
most valuable part of this property.
The deed was from an old lady in
Iowa by the name of Mrs Dolly Frost,
aged about 80 years and since dead
She was the only daughter of the for
mer owner of the land in question, and
the records do not show that he ever
disposed of the property.

THREE CANDIDATES
For State Office Produced by State
Convention-Two from the Eigh-

Columbus, O., Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
lican state convention produced three
candidates for state offices in the com
ing convention of 1908. Charles C.
Upham, of Canton, wants to succeed
Wade H. Ellis, of Cincinnati, as at
torney General, and John S. McNutt,
of Columbiana, where he is clerk of
the courts, wants to succeed Lawson
e. Emerson, of Belmont, as clerk of
the supreme court. 1t may turn out
that Mr.. Emerson will want to have
terms like his predecessor Josiah B.
Allen, of Athens. Colonel Melville M.
Gillette, of Licking, who was in at
tendance upon the Dayton gathering,
admitted he again intended to run for
the nomination for state auditor. He
will have a deuced jolly time, for it
is tipped that Ed Fullington, now
chief deputy in the auditors office, and
Warden Orrin B. Gould also want to
adorn the office as the real thing.

BOY KILLED BY
A BATTED BALL

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 17.-Cuno
Schilling, aged IL, was killed by a
batted ball, while watching a game
between the Molines and Woods
Laundry teams. The boy was seated
on a side line, watching the game,
when Walter Mulvitz, pitcher for the
Molines, swung at the ball. He caught
it square on the end of the bat and
1t was driven with terrific force
against young Schllling's head, strik-
ing him at the back of the head and
the base of the brain. His skull was
fractured and his brains oozed out.
The game was Immediately broken up
amid great excitement. The boy never
recovered consciousness and he died
in about ten minutes. One of the most
pathetic features of the Sunday trag-
edy was the absence of the parents
from home. They were spending the
afternoon in a park while their sons
body lay on slab at the morgue.
Schilling was SON of August Schill-
ing, cigar maker

BOTH SIDES ARE
LOOKING FOR PEACE

Washington, Sept. 17.-It was re-
ported here that the government party
and the insurgents in Cuba have been
conducting negotiations looking to a
settlement. The two parties are try
ing to reach some agreement before
Secretary Taft arrives. The negotia
tions are being conducted privately
through party leaders. The reason for
their activity is that both sides wish
to have some definite basis for con-
ciliation to submit to the secretary
of war as a means of preventing armed
Intervention.
The Liberal leaders have formally
ordered the suspension of hostilities
by the rebels as a counterpart to
President PaImas decree. Secretary
O'Farrill has informed the Cuba lega-
tions in several countries where Cuba
is represented of the suspension of
hostilities by both sides.

BATTLE CRY Il
In the West Is Everything to Beat
New York"-Sox Lead American
by Narrow Margin.

New York, Sept 17.-With both New
York and Chicago teams winning their
games today there was no change in
the standing Of these two clubs in the
race for the American league pennant.
The last eastern invasion of the west
began today and the two clubs fight
ing for the lead only won their games
after hard work. The Chicagos took
IL innings, which was marked by
loose fielding on both sides, before
they could subdue the Athletics.
At st. Louis the Highlanders pulled
the game out of the fire in the last
inning, winning by opportune hitting.
The battle cry in the west will be "Ey-
erything to beat New York" and the
path Of the Highlanders from now on
will not be smooth one. Every team
in the western circuit will rlay the
game of their lives to enable the
much coveted rag" to go to western
city, and the Highlanders will have to
play as they never played before to
debeat the clubs in the cities they Wis.,
it.
The White Sox, of course, will be un-
der a more nervous tension in order
to hold the Slight lead they have over
the Highlanders while the New Yorks
will use all their endeavors to overhaul
the leaders. The outcome of the series
between these two clubs which begins
Friday will probably decide who will
carry off the honors in the pennsnt
race. 1t is not thought that there will
be any change in the difference be-
tween the two clubs until they meet,
but the least slip up in the playing of
either team will mean loss in points
that will be hard to overcome.
In the National league the New York
Giants bw 'efeating the Philadelphlans
increased their hold on second place.
They will meet the Pittsburg in the
final series tomorrow and the fight
for second honors will begin.
