the attention Of General Slocum and
was appointed an aide on his staff.
At Missionary Ridge Foraker was in

went over Bragg's breastworks. Later
on In North Carolina he bore a message
from General Slocum to General Sher

reunion. Foraker was Governor OF
Ohio at the time. General Sherman in
his address turned to Foraker and
said:
Il we'll remember you as you rode
into my quarters when Joe Johnson
struck my left in North Carolina. You
burst upon us in a grove of pines, with
message from Slocum, saying that

told of Foraker on that occasion In a

Unfair Tariff Concessions.

1t does seem unfair that Germany,
which has tariff system, can, by max
ing certain concessions, get goodE into
the United States on more favorable
terms than Great Britain, which has
not such a system and which has al
ways been a fine market for American
goods 1t has been suggested that the
President might look upon the action
of Great Britain in making existing
laws as a concession, although it was
made before any negotiations were
opened for concessions under the
Dilgley act. The German tariff agree
ment has stiTed up much criticism pro
and con- The American Protective
Tariff League criticizes it severely, hold
Ing among other things that the grant
ing of privileges to Germany was in
conflict with the administrative sec
tons OF the Dingley act. The feature
that permits the chambers of commerce
of Germany, which are semi-official in
character, to place the valuation on
goods exported, is being attacked on
the ground that it will result in an
unreasonably low valuation. The tar
1f issue is very live just now on ac-
count Of the agreement with Germany.

Apparently, he is not thinking of lie

confronts him. That is the sort Of an
official that the people like. He is
making friends among all elements of
the people, though the politicians are
against him. As New York's Legisla-

abundant chances to do many things
before the national convention meets.
The country is following Gov. Hughes

In fog at sea the toll of a bell
buoy is singularly grave and solemn
well matched by the weird note of a
whistling buoy. Unfortunately the
value of both is lessened in foggy
weather from there being but little mo-
ton of the sea. Nothing, too, is more
difficult than to distinguish In a foe
the direction from which sound
comes. This Is in part due doubtless
to the interference offered to the
straight course of the waves carrying
the sound but also probably to the alb
sence of the normal although unsus-
pected coordination of eye and ear In
locating the origin of sound. The as

Republican Policy.

Any Republican national convention
and any Republican Congress will
stand to and abide by the present tariff
IN all its essential features: any Re
publican candidate will stand on the
platform. We surmise that other
questions will have more to do with
the selection Of the candidate, and will
be more in issue in the campaign. The
Republican party never lowered its
standard one inch to secure votes for
its sound money policy in 1896, how
ever any imagined otherwise. 1t is GO
ing to take an open ground in favor of
the proper regulation and restraint of
corporate wealth; but it will not in the
least lower its tariff policy to that end.
The Republican party is not going TO
drive business out of the country TO
kill monopoly; it is going to keep 1t
possible to do business on an honest
basis, and then compel men to keep TO
that basis Free-traders think II can
not be done Any intelligent protec-
zionist knows 1t can. And ii will. II
is not necessary TO burn the laalse 70
destroy the rats. We are going TO be
very jealous of our tariff but tolerate
no evil which the free trader assumes,
without reason, TO be a necessary part
of a protective tariff.-Lebanon IN.

Willing fo Waive.

The ease with which William Jen-
aings Bryan abandons his government
ownership issue after his very pro-
nounced declaration in favor of it made
in a speech at Madison Square Gar
den a year ago, indicates how little
principle guides the action of the Great
Commone-.
Having heard the protests from his
party and realizing that the prize he
has been seeking SO ardently was fast
receding from his view, he promptly
ahout-faces and says that government
ownership is not an issue next year.
That is TO say, Mr.. Bryan does not
purpose letting anything stand in his
way for the nomination at the hands
of the Democratic party And the at
titude of the Demo ratio press, ever
since he made his plea for government
ownership, has been so hostile that he
hastens to retrieve. Only, we fear, the
reason for this sudden change Of front
is so diaphanous that Democratic lead
ers will lose faith in the sincerity of
the Peerless One"

The Panic "a Japan.

The financial smash-up which has
just hit Japan was expected. Japan
is poor in natural resources. Her soil
is now producing up 10 its limit. She
has but little mineral wealth. Most
OF the 100000 inhabitants of the
islands comprised in the Japanese En-
pire are only a short remove from the
mast abiect poverty all the time. Tax
alton, even during the days before the
Russian war, bore with a crushing
weight on the japanese people. The
tax burden was Increased heavily by
the war. Famine came in large part
of the empire just after the war ended.
And now the crash has come. One
of the things which caused the crash,
however, was the speculation which
set IN about a year ago. Immediately
after the recovery from the famine the
stock market became active New CON-
panies in many sorts of activities were
launched. Their promoters promised
and their dupes expected a rise in
prices. A fall came instead, and many
of those wildcat enterprises collapsed.
Runs were started on the banks
throughout a large part Of the empire.
Thirteen banks suspended. Stocks of
all sorts dropped to low figures. Fac
tcries closed their doors. All the IA
