What Others Say.

Vermont knows a thing or two
about, the open deer season. About
1000 hunters went into the state
two years ago for The weeks sport.
One train north from Greenfield
carried 81 gfoatlng nimrods. Many
of the visitors carried gallon apiece
of hard stuff. This did not con.
tribute materially toward the simple
life among Green Mountains.
Many parties were ordered off pri-
vate land. Semi occasionally the
intruders might have obeyed. The
numberiof deer taken was 1874.
The illegal killing of 81 does, large
ly by non-residents. was one reason
for the imposition of q license fee
on out Of the state hunters. As q
result Of that tax only about a dozen
deer were carried out of the state
last fall. Boston Transcript.

Washington Letter,

(FrOm our regular correspondent
Washington, D. c., May %, 'O7.
Speaker Cannon dropped into
Washington this week, and his COM
ing revived talk of tariff revision,
not that the venerable Speaker is a
tariff revisionist by any means, but
simply because he is the one man
who can block revision if he chooses
even against the will of the Presi-
dent, and there is considerable spec
ulatiOn as to whether he may or may
not choose. Uncle Joseph is avow-
eddy against any tariff tinkering.
His friends say this is conviction
with him. His enemies on the other
hand say that it is matter of policy
and the Speaker thinks he will stand
a better show for campaign contri-
buttons from the big monied inter
ests of New York in case of his
nomination for the presidency if he
sets his face like flint against any
tinkering with the tariff. In one
respect at least, he has the reasona-
lbe side of The argument He SAYS
that the tariff cannot lie touched at
all without going through the whole
list and doing something to every
schedule. This is quite true. The
manufacturing interests of the north,
the farming interests all over the
country, the steel makers of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, and the cotton
men both north and south will all
want consideration. Each one
thinks that the tariff can be ar
ranged for his own locality and the
rest of the country let alone, but
when everyone thinks this, it is plain
to see that it means tariff doctoring
for all sections of the country. The
Encouragement of all the schedules
will be a whole sessions job. It is
said that the President believes re-
vision is necessary and is in sight,
and that he has advised Speaker
Cannon that he had better prepare
for it. Perhaps even a majority of
the Republican party feel the same
way. But it is doubtful if more
than a start will be made at the
coming session. A committee may
be appointed to sit during the recess
and take testimony, but the practi-
cal politicians are against touching
the tariff on the eve of an election.
Thus the two interests are at dead
lock, and it is probable that the
Speaker will have. his way and
stand-patism will carry the day till
after the next presidential election.

MRS. MCKINLEY PASSES
AWAY.
Death Game Peacefully Without
Struggle or Pain Sunday
Afternoon.

l
efforts made to prolong her life,
Mrs. William McKinley-the ma
TONS widow-passed peacefully
away Sunday afternoon in Canton,
o., while the Grand ARMY Post
named for her lamented President
husband marched through the city's
8 reefs to services in honor of Dec
Grafton day. Her transition from
the existence which contained for
her SO much of heart-eating sorrow
was SO gradual and serene that the
little group at her bedside was
scarce aware of the dissolution of
the spirit from the delicate, pain
racked body from which it had been
yearning to futter for so many wea-
ry months.
The Rev. DR.. Buxton, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's pastor, conducted the flu
neral services, which were held at
the Mckinley house at two O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The body was
placed in the vault in Westlawn
cemetery, which holds the body of
her husband, until the completion of
the national mausoleum on Monu-
ment hill, when both caskets will be
transferred to receptacles in that
tomb.
SKETCH OF HER LIFE.
Ida Saxton Mckinley was born
in Canton, June 8; 1847. James
A. Saxton, her father, was an intel
lectual and progressive man and
banker and his wife lady of much
culture and refinement. Ida Sax
ton was reared in home of comfort
and ease. After attending, Canton
school she was pupil at private
school at Delhi, N. Y. She then
went to a Cleveland academy and
finished her education at Brock Hill
Seminary, Media, Penn, where she
spent three years. Part of the years
of her young womanhood were spent
in the Stark County bank which be-
longed to her father. On several
occasions she had charge of the in
stitution. William Mckinley, Jr.,
was then lawyer, beginning prac-
tice in Canton. He had Leen with
Grant and Sheridan in the Union
army and won distinction in the
Shenandoah valley. On January
25, 1871, he and Miss Saxton were
red in the Pres yterian Church
There was born to them two
daughters, Kate, en- Christmas day,
1871, end Ida on April l, 1873.
Ida died in August, 1878. Mrs
McKlnley's mother had died the
month before. Katie lived but
three and half years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley never
except house" while he was in Con-
gress, because of her invalid state.
But she desired to be with him as
much as possible and spent much
time in Washington.
Mrs. McKinley's life of almost 60
years had been made familiar to the
nation by the fact that more than
half of it was spent in invalidism.
Notwithstanding her bodily afflic-
tons she was brave and cheerful
and during her husbands life she
was great source of help and en-
couragement to him. Their mar
ried life was a beautiful one and the
Presidents solicitude for her and
tenderness toward her were among
the finest of his many fine traits.
Mrs. Mckinley firmly believed long
before her husband became Presi-
dent that he was destined for that
