The President and His Power.

Come now, Mr.. Boston Herald. don't be
too solemn on the subject of the reported
GOODNESS between the President and Senator
Crane growing out of the independence"
OF the latter. Says the Herald:
ut would be a sorry day in our political
history when a senator of the United States
could be ostracized in his party and de-
feated for reelection for daring to oppose
the administration in matters involving con-
stitutional construction and army discipline.
Even more unfortunate would II be II
public man of Senator Cranes character
and record were TO be forced to act against
his convictions as the price of peace and
fair treatment by the President and his
colleague"
1t may be that the stories about the Presi-
dent and the junior senator from Massa-
chusetts exaggerated. The season is
favorable for floating yarns. and why
should two such eminent men escape? Still.
II the situation Is as described it presents
nothing new in our politics. The Herald's
sorry day has been with us so long it
has heightened into years.
Has the Herald forgotten what befel
Senator Sumner when he differed with Pres
ident Grant the subject of Santo Do
mingo? Is 1t not familiar with what hap
pened to Senator Conkling when President
Garfield was set by bad advice against
him? Was President Cleveiand's course to-
ward Representative Sowden of Pennsyl-
vania lost on the Herald? For voting
against a tariff bill which Mr.. Cleveland
was supporting Mr.. Sowden was punished
in an original way. The President vetoed
a public building bill which Mr.. Sowden
had secured from Congress for his Sow
dens) home town. During the second
Cleveland administration democratic sena-
tors who voted as Mr.. Cleveland desired
got all the patronage they wanted. while
those who refused got nothing.
And has the Herald not noted the case OF
one JOSEF Benson Foraker. who with opin-
ions of his own and the courage to express
them Is now fighting for his political life?
The people of Ohio have known him long
and honored him often. but they asked
to retire him because he differs with the
President several important issues. If
Mr., Crane has offended in any way what
Foraker and fish-even codfsh-be made
of Crane
II Is not a creditabe story. and 1t con-
f1icts with the proper notion of things. but
it is an old. old story. Senators and repre-
sentatives like to keep in touch with the
White House and some make sacrifices to
do This weakness is well known, and
Presidents do not hesitate to play upon 1t.
They Will even bully a little when neces-
sary to strengthen their policies in Con-
gress. Not many men defy the executive
lightning. and the majority of those who
have done so have suffered for it.

Farm Work for Women.
From the indianapolis Star.


For various reasons. one of which is that
farmers wives and daughters have all the
work they can do in the house at harvest
time it is not likely that women will ever
do much outside farm labor except in emer-
gency At the same time it must be said
that the old arguments against it will not
hold. 1t is no heavier than work at thu,
wash tub or the ironing board and is far
more healthful than bending over the sew
ing machine day in and day out Yet these
occupations are regarded strictly femi-
nine and no protest is ever raised against
them save by women themselves now and
then. The eXertion is no greater than is
called for by gardening. which is constant
" being recommended to women by physi-
clans as means of building up their
health: nor does it call for greater physical
exerton than golf. or make them more
weather-beaten. Though women are not
likely to engage in such work extensively
il is not worth while to lift the hands in
horror at the thought of their doing

Republicans and the Tariff.

The Philadelphia Record a free-trade
newspaper. distrusts the republican prom
Use to revise the tariff after the next presi-
Dental election 1t would have the work
done before. and says. in an editorial dis
cussing the matter
The next administration will begin in
March, 1909 but there Is suggestion OF
a special session of Congress to revise the
tariff downward, there was In 1897 to
revise the tariff upward, and in the usual
course Congress would not meet till De-
cember 1909. enact tariff till the sum-
mer of 1910. All sorts OF things might hap
pen in the meantime. This Is what Sena-
tor Hopkins, after a conference with the
President. means when he says that the
tariff ought to be revised after the next ma
tional election, but it would be suicidal to
revise 1t before
Let US all be frank about this. 1t ought
not to be, but, as a matter of fact the
tariff Is political question. Both parties
treat it as such. We're the republicans to
take up the tariff for revision next win
ter. the democrats. purely for campaign
purposes would delay matters until late in
the summer or early fall. in order to force
vote on the new law as early after en-
actment as possible. That. as a rule, puts
the party in power at a disadvantage. The
republicans. therefore. are we'll within good
tactics and their rights in deciding to post
pone action.
1t Is early to speculate about the form
the tariff plank of the republican national
platform will take. The republican revl-
sionists are in earnset. and seem to be suffi-
GENTLY strong to force a definite expression
They may, or may not ask for a promise
of revision at a special session of the Sixty
first Congress. but even If they should not
ask it. such a session might be called by
the newly elected President. And then as
only little over six months would elapse
between the time for holding a special
session and the meeting day of the regular
session, that point is not vital
The vital point is that the party must
promise revision. and then keep the prom
fate OF the other side before them. the re-
publicans would hardly enter upon juggle
with the question Thirteen years ago at
this time a democratic Senate, under Mr.
Gorman's leadership, was making a mock
cry of campaign promises on the tariff
question Mr.. Cleveland returned to power
on a platform which newspapers like the
Record construed challenge to pro-
lection to a fight to the death. But the re-
suit was tariff law stuffed full of protec-
ton. and a sugar schedule written by the
tribution. Surely the republicans. who 50
greatly profted by this history in the cam
paign of 1896. may not be thought foolish
enough TO blunder in like way themselves
next year That is to say. they are hardly
likely to promise one thing and then do
another.

Japan and Korea.

Japan has settled the Korean affair in the
manner which was expected when the first
dispute arose between the two governments.
The government at Toxic has taken charge
of the administration Of affairs at Seoul
and has assumed full responsibility for the
future OF Korea. That is the net result Of
the agitatiOns and negotiations of the past
week. a. set forth in an agreement just
signed by the new emperor and accepted By
Che Representatives of Japan. as it was
doubtless dictated by them.
Japan permits Korea to retain the forms
of autonomy while holding to the actual
power. That Is to say, there will be ko-
rean emperor and the chief offices will be
filled. at least for a time with Koreans.
But Korea accepts certain restrictions
which effect q vast difference between the

VAST SUM SENT BY RAIL.

Postomoe Department Saved Th0u>
sands 1t Expense Of tho Treasury.
Some years ago the Treasury De-
partment desired to transport $25,OOO,-
600 In gold from the subtreasury In
San francisco to the subtreasury In
New York. The way they did 1t was
simple. They sent a treasury postal
frank to the postmaster at San Fran
cisco, told him to stick 1t on to the
425, OOO, 900 in gold and deliver 1t In
New York. This that unfortunate Of
ncial under the law was obliged to do.
No further effort or worry on the part
Of tho Treasury Department was nee
essary.
Incredible as It may seem, the post
master at San Francisco carted the
$4,000, 900 in gold under armed guard
to the Southern Pacific Railway sta
ton. There it was loaded on a spe-
eial train, each car Of which was
equipped with guards heavily armed
This train was then sent across the
continent by circuitous route and
with all information concerning its
route and time sedulously concealed
from tho newspapers In order to avoid
the danger Of an attack from highway
men. After a certain number Of days
this train arrived at Jersey City.
The boxes containing the $685. 00, 900
In gold were taken across on the fer
ries, and New Workers were mysti6ed
By the extraordinary spectacle Of many
vehicles loaded with boxes upon which
were perched guards with rifles and
pistols This procession finally ended
at the subtreasury, where the Postofice
Department was released from the GUS
tody Of the coin by the receipt Of the

tation cost the Postofice Department
