TARIFF REVISION URGENT.

The demand for tariff revision is be-
coming more and more persistent in
New England, although the republican
politicians are trying to suppress it's out
ward manifestations. But many of the
manufacturers are openly demanding
free raw material such as hides, coal
and iron, and thorough revision and
reduction of the steel schedules. The
latest expression for tariff reform comes
from J. II. Remington, of Boston, who
says;
ally favor revision of the tariff and
chat the views of former Governor
Dougless are shared by many others
But Mr.. Remington views with alarm
d continuation of the republican policy
Of standing pat, for he further says:
"If revision of the tariff is not soon
made, many of the factories in New
England will be compelled to close
down, and the result will be, of course,
that thousands of persons will be
thrown out of employment"
There is Just one way these Massa-
chusetts republican tariff reformers can
prevent such a serious condition to
manufacturers and labor from being
prolonged, that is by reforming their
politics and electing democrats to rep
resent them in the national house and
senate, Judging the future by the past,
the coming congress will refuse to re-
wise the tariff, for the standpatters will
control it as they did the last congress-
and no relief is in sight until the
national election in 1908, and the con.
gress then elected meets in 1909.

Ex-presidents who have twice held
the executive office are peculiar in that
they do not do as people generally ex-
pect them to do. Washington resumed
farming. Jefferson lapsed into litera-
ture and philosophy. Madison and
Monroe retired from political ambition.
Andrew Jackson, after naming Van
Buren,, received homage but pulled few
wires, if any. Grants friends sought
to name him for a third term, but
failed. Mr.. Cleveland has steadily re-
fused to reenter the political strife.
Mr.. Mckinley, some time before his
death, peremptorily wrote an explicit
refusal to be a candidate for third
term. Mr.. Roosevelt's volunteered re-
nunciation of second nomination and a
third term, is we'll remembered. But
whatever is expected of Mr.. Roosevelt
we may be assured that he will not fall
into listlessness, nor will he permit de-
cay to overtake him prematurely. If
he stands by his declaration not to be
a candidate again, and there is nc
reason to believe that he will not, then
we may depend upon it he will be &C
tive in some of the ways of business
or professional life.

STANDARD OIL TRUST, CONVICT.

"Judge Lands will be dead long
while before this fine is paid said Mr..
John d. Rockefeller of the $29,240,000
fine which Judge Lands imposed upon
the Standard Oil companies as convict
at the bar of the criminal court. Mr..
Rockefeller may be right. The judicial
byways and highways with which his
criminal corporation is familiar have
many turns and twists and many dark
retreats, and are wearisomely long.
What may happen, therefore, to that
fine before it is paid, should it ever be
paid, no one can tell, although Mr..
Rockefeller could probably guess better
than anyone else. But it makes little
difference what happens to the fine
little difference how long time elapses
before it is paid at all. The public
Importance of what Judge Lands has
done doesn't depend in the slightest
degree upon the payment of the fine.
The fact that he imposed fine so large
as to have at least the appearance of a
criminal penalty instead of effect of a
criminal license and his expressed
reasons for doing it-those are the con-
siderations that make his actions count,
and count much.
1t would have been easy for less
determined Judge to wrap his reasons
in ambiguous language and so make the
ultimate payment of the fine the impor-
tant thing. Such action might have
been justly suspected as collusive; but
no suspicion can attach to Judge Lands
in this case. His language is so definite
that it throws open his mind to inspec-
tion. and the inspection reveals
his grasp of the old legal standards
from which corporation lawyers have
been diverting the bench. The vital
thing about his opinion is the unmistak-
able distinction he makes between pri
vate business and public functions.
When he says that railroads are public
functionaries, and legally as incompe-
tent as tax assessors to make discrimi-
Mating contracts with individuals he
probes the question before him to the
core. Let the Standard Oil fine-a
moderate fine under the circumstances,
but spectacularly large in the minds of
people unaccustomed to thinking in
millions it but serve the purpose of
centering public attention upon that
one point in Judge Lands judgment
and it's mere non-payment will count
nothing. When the people once realize
the Importance of Judge Lands posi-
ton, that railroads are as truly public
agents as if they were government
officials, and that their duty is not tt
part of the public but to all the public
the transportation question will be
speedily settled, and settled right
The Public.

QUANTRELL ALIVE.

man named John Sharp, at Quatsino
Vancouver Island, says he is the motor
ious Bill Quantrell leader of the famous
guerrillas in the civil war. He has
been identified by ]. E. Duffy a member
of Michigan regiment which cut up
the Quantrell band.
The story the old man told was that
when his band was cut up he had been
bayoneted in the chest and had bull
let wound through the shoulder. The
surgeon said he could not live more
than few hours and he was left so
that others with more chance of re-
covery could be attended to. He got
up despite his wounds and disappeared.
That night, he says, he rode seventy
miles.

On August End Standard Oil stocks
were quoted at 500, on August 18th they
we're quoted 425, a fall of rs points
since Judge Lands rendered his de-
cision fining the company S29,240,000 as
rebates. When Standard Oil has to
make its dividends honestly instead of
by criminal methods, the stock will
come down to reasonable basis. 1t is
said that John D. lost million dollars
minute for some time while Standard
Oil was being hammered down.

Homesteading in the southwest is

Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
wants higher tax on the property Of
the railroads. He believes that when
the agents of roads swear in court that
their property is worth sum twice or
three times as great as it's assessed
value there is something wrong. Every
railroad should have its value ascer-
tanned and be taxed accordingly.

old game. No tariff revision until after
election. And after election no tariff
revision because the people did not de-

All the government wants and all the
