"My little boy, when only an infant
Of three months, caught the Cuban

itch and claw himself and cry all the

Suggests Tariff Commission.

Senator Beveridge has raised his
voice for revision of the tariff through
a non-partisan expert commission. A
large part Of the country will agree
with President Roosevelt that 1t will
not be judicious to attempt a general
revision of the tariff during this SEES.
sion of congress, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The leaders on the Repub-
lican side have, by common consent.
postponed such action until after the
presidential election next year. As
such revision is hardly possible during
the short session of congress 1t must
be postponed until the first session of
the Sixty-first congress, II 1t is to be
made In the usual way and with the
usual political debates.
There is, however, no such reason
for refusing to consider the plan of
revision by an expert commission.
This idea is based on the principle
that political revision should never
be made, and that the tariff is not a
legitimate subject for political con-
troversy. The people have decided in
repeated campaigns that the tariff
should be protective to the extent OF
covering the difference in labor cost
In the production Of any article here
and abroad. A vast majority of all the
people believe firmly In this principle.
So much being settled as a matter of
politics, the application should be
made through non-partisan experts.

congress 1t could be ready to report
necessary changes in schedules to the
next session, after the presidential
election.

STABILITY in CUBA
DUTY OF THE UNITED STATES
PLAIN.
Present Able Administration Of Gov
Masoon Must Be Con.
tlnued Until Conditions No
Longer Require II.

It will be remembered that the visit
Of Secretary Taft to Cuba in the
spring resulted in the putting forth Of
a program for future action which sat
isfied all parties and dissipated the
fog OF suspicion and distrust. Having
interviewed In the island at a critical
1uncture, 1t was, Of course, impossible
for the United States to wind up its
receivership without laying fresh
foundations for a stable native govern
ment. A repetition of Palma's expert
ence, everybody realized, would doubt
less prove fatal to Cuba's %independ-
ence Accordingly Secretary Taft,
after patient inquiry and free con-
sultation Of all parties, announced the
following gradual course Of proceed
ure: A careful, honest census in
volving a fair registration OF all Cuban
voters; municipal and provincial cleo
lions after a reasonable interval for
purposes of preparation and ~organiza-
ton; the presidential and COMPRESSION
al elections after another short inter-
val, and, as the last step, the with
drawal of the American forces.
There has been no change in this
program and, apparently, no occasion
for any change. Gov. Magoon has
given Cuba an able and efficient adj
ministration, and no element has had
cause for complaint except the bandits
and criminal Migrants, who at M
time displayed exceptional holiness
and rendered 1t necessary for the
American governor to adopt severe
measures against brigandage, whether
under its own name or in that Of
politics"
The enumeration has been com
pleted and the tabulation of the re-
turns Is now in progress. In a few
weeks the time will be ripe for the
second step-municipal and provin-
cial elections. Order and honesty in
these will make the final task simple
and easy for the United States. I'm

THE STORY.

&C OLOMON! Solomon" Breath
- lessly the woman listened, and
getting no response, she raised her
voice and cried:
Solomon! Solomon!"
Bathsheba had returned from the
presence of King David in great haste,
and as she rushed into the palace
David had built for her and her son
Solomon, she laid aside all her re.
serve and dignity and called frantic
ally for the young man. The sound
of her voice awoke the echoes, and
the scurrying feet of the servants
could be heard rs they fastened to
her presence.
Where can he be?" impatiently
cried Bathsheba when no Solomon ap.
peared. For al instant she contem.
plated the wondering servants as they
gathered before her, and then com.
manded them sharply:
go find him. Lose not a moment.
The kings business requires haste
A s%currying Of feet and again the
woman was left alone.
"The king has promised" she ex-
claimed as she paced nervously to
and fro. Solomon shall sit upon the
throne Of his father! Adonijah must
be thwarted." And the flashing eyes of
the woman, the stern lines on the
face and the tightly-clenched hands
indicated the spirit which completely
controlled her. HE may have his
feast at Enrogel," she continued to
herself. Even now, I suppose, he is
planning with his followers what he
shall do when he is come into the
kingdom, but the king has promised
and God is good. He will bring these
plans to naught. But Solomon, where
Is he? He must be ready against the
coming of the kings servants"
And with this last thought in mind
she hurried off to the apartments oc.
cupied by the boy and was soon busy
selecting the garments which she in
tended he should wear when he was
anointed king,
And while the mother was thus
busy and while the servants OF Bath.
sheba were going hither and thither
In search of Solomon, there was much
excitement and stir among the serv
ants Of King David.
Had there ever been such trans.
formation before? But a few hours
before there had been sadness and
detection in the palace, for 1t was
thought that the king was dying, and
then had come the visit of Bathsheba,
and OF Nathan the prophet, and sud
denly the king seemed to shake of
the stupor which had crept In upon
him. The eye had kindled with some
Of the old-time fire, the form which
had seemed shrunken and weak
thrilled with new life and sat erect,
and the voice which only had spoken
for days past in feeble expression Of
some trifing want, was now speaking
forth words Of command. The news
of all this spread like wild fire
throughout all the city Of Jerusalem

A Pretty Good System.

Does any sensible person believe
that had the Democracy been in con
troll Of the White House, with the &C.
companying business depression and in
dustrial paralysis, 1t would have been
possible within two or three days to
have stayed what threatened to be-
come a financial panic?
The talk that the surplus In the
treasury. which was SO handy a few
days ago, has been drained from the
people by a false financial system" Is
all bosh.
A system that gives the American
w%orkingman the highest wages Of any
class Of laborers on earth, and at the
same time accumulates a surplus good
for any emergency, may not be ad'
mired by the Spectator who deals in
European novelties, but It is a pretty
good thing for the people Of the United
States.-Scranton Tribune.
