The most extraordinary exhibi-
tion of lion tanning was given in the
Senate one day last week. Tillman
OF South Carolina had introduced
resolution calling on Secretary Cor
telyou for all sorts of figures and
the Senator was actually breathing
fire in anticipation of the things he
was going to do to Cortelyou when
he made his speech on that resolu-
ton. Culberson of Texas, the new
Democratic leader, also had a SINH
lar resolution and he purposed to
make Cortelyou's ears turn purple
before he got through speaking
about him. Finally, Clay of Geor-
gia had a resolution calculated to
make Cortelyou confess in public
as to how many millions OF dollars
Of the peoples money he had turn
ed into the private pockets Of ma
tional bankers - and everybody
knows that Cortelyou's administra-
tion must have converted over S3o,-
900, 900 into the pockets of the
bankers. All three of these force
full speakers purposed to make Wig
orous speeches when the Senate
convened last week but Aldrich OBJ
jected. Aldrich would like to see
his dear friend Cortelyou the next
President and he don't want his lit
tie weaknesses and his favoritism
to the bankers aired in public. So
he sent for Clay and Culberson and
Tillman and talked them over; gave
them taffy (Aldrich's chloroform,
they call it in the Senate) until he
put them all to sleep. Then when
tue resolution came up in the SEN
ate they were all referred to Mr..
Aldrich' committee without debate.
"There," said Mr.. Aldrich, 1--WE
eau talk over these matters without
the embarrassment of vulgarly Gu
rious and gaping public. 1t will
be just among ourselves and so
much nicer" and Tillman, the fire
eater, Clay, the energetic, Culber-
son, the valiant, fell victim to the
honeyed words of the Republican
leader who was seeking to protect
his dear friend Cortelyou. OF course

TARIFF 5oUNTIES.

To hear a Republican candidate for
Office speak of "A bounty in the shape
Of a custom duty" is altogether re-
freshing. But it has come to this at
last. Customs duties are odious
bounties. Some Of them are need.
less. Others are destructive" In
his recent speech at Waltham. Mass.
Gov. Guild said: A good example Of
needless duty is the duty on hides.
which affords no protection to any in.
dustry whatever, and is not needed
for any purpose of revenue. A good
example Of a destructive duty is the
duty on wood pulp. We are paying
State foresters to restore our for
ests. We are begging Congress TO
protect our forest reserves and the
headwaters of our rivers alike AS 4
preventive Of drought and a preserv.
ative of the water power OF our mills
We celebrate Arhor Day annually to
encourage tree planting. With abso.
lutte inconsistency We put a bounty I'm
the shape of customs duty ON the
Telling of trees, and we are actually
threatening the Gripping of great in
dustries in the not far distant future
by the wanton destruction Of the for
ests on which they directly or in
directly depend. There is no more
inconsistency in the instances cited
by Governor Guild than there was
in any other duty ON imports, except
such rs may I've properly levied as Il
tax in order 10 bring revenue only
The duties on iron and steel and their
products; the duties on carpets. on
wooden and cotton goods, and other
necessary articles, so far as they
to protection or bountics
to manufacturers, are far worse than
those which the Governor of Massa.

greatest pitcher in the base ball world
today. Bull Durham. ii is reported,

three baggers and double sackers off

STRINGENT RULE is
AGAINST THE GAME
Local High School May Have
No Football.
FACULTY AND ATHLETICS.

The stringent rule of the I. /. 4. A.
governing the playing of non-eligible
men, will probably keep the Richmond
high school football team out of the
field this year, so far as meeting In
diana high schools is concerned. An
attempt will be made to organize a
football team at the school but no at
tempt will be made to schedule games
with Indiana schools, as some of the
mainstays on the team are behind in
their studies and are not therefore ell
gibIe to play against Indiana schools
With Allison and Marlatt, two foot
ball mainstays out of school, there is
some doubt in the minds of local ath
letes as to the probable success of a
football team at the school this year
However some of the men have not
lost courage and state that they will
make an endeavor to schedule games
with Ohio teams. No showing could
be made at all without the services
of the experienced men in high schoo
who are behind with their scnoo
work. BY playing Ohio teams such
men could play with the team and
fair showing could be made in a
fall schedule of games.
In addition to the encouragement
caused by the loss of several good
football men, athletes say that the
professors of the high school do mo-
show much interest in athletics and
the faculty as a whole does not sup
port athletic teams to any great ex
| tent thereby disheartening those who
are trying for the teams. The de
cline in athletic spirit at the loca
| high school is caused by the non-in
| terest shown by the instructors, the
athletes claim.

The Quality That Appears to Be Lack
ina In All Systems.

ing IN All SyShcUns.
The fatality of all systems of short.
hand is that what seems easy TO the
eye of filial piety may be terribly diff
cult to the cold gaze of a stranger.
OF the innumerable systems of short
hand that were the vogue century
ago how many survive today? asks q
London writer. Fame and fortune still
await the man or woman who can In
vent a system that will appeal to the
reader as effectively as to the original
writer. Perhaps If we were to redis
cover the lost shorthand writing OF the
ancient Romans we might find our
selves on the road toward solution
of the problem.
For the Romans were on affectionate
terms with shorthand. Did not Sue
tonius, speaking of CaliSula, express
surprise that an emperor of so many
promising parts should nevertheless be
an ignoramus in shorthand, and die
not Titus Vespasianus pride himself OF
his facility in the use of stenography
both for business and amusement? 81
fond was he of the sport that he de
lighted to gather his amanuenses
around him in order that they should
tilt against each other in the steno
graphic field. 1t may be that but TO
the rediscovery of the art in England
toward the end of the sixteenth cen
fury the curious Pepys would not have
been moved to write his diary.

COMPL A|NT ENTERED
AGAINST BUILDINGS
Some of Those Condemned
Have Not Been Repaired.
BOARD TO TAKE ACTION.

When several business blocks in
Richmond were condemned several
months ago by the board of public
works and Fire Chief Miller, the own
ers of the buildings, through their at
torneys, said that steps would be imme-
diately taken to remedy the existing
conditions. Practically all Of these
have been repaired to some extent. The
w. H. Afford building located at 1877,
1S9 and 191 TT. Wayne avenue. howev-
err. remains in the same condition as at
the time it was condemned months ago,
according to the statement of Council
man Deuker, who advocated an imme-
date change in it's condition.
The building fronts up close to FIT.
Wayne avenue and is in very bad con-
dition The supports are weak, while
the building, owing to this weakness, is
likely to tumble at any time, thereby
endangering the lives of those en-
ployed in it, and those in immediate
proximity. Through his attorney,
Mr.. Afford promised the board of
works that steps would be taken ir1me-
diately to repair the building, but since
that time the board has heard nothing
from the owner.
Since the boards attention was again
called to the unsafe condition of the
block, that body will investigate Coun-
Gilman Deuker's claim, and an ordi-
nance will be framed and submitted to
the city council at its next meeting,
ruling against the building.
