TARIFF MUST
BE CONSIDERED
ROOT WILL FORCE THE ISSUE
ON THE NEXT CONGRESS.
WANTS TO MAKE NEW DEAL
Wishes to Negotiate Reciprocity TYea-
ties With Foreign Countries.--Ex-
treme Protectionists Are Protesting
Against the German treaty.

New Orleans, LA Picayunc
special says:
In spite of all the efforts of the
standpatters to prevent any con-
sideration of the tariff question at
the next session Of congress it ap-
pears now almost certain that IL will
be brought up, and through the re-
publican administration itself.
In order to avoid tariff war with
Germany, Secretary Root negotiated
a partial reciprocity agreement, as the
executive department is authorized to
do under section three of the Dingley
law. Immediately after this arrange
ment was proclaimed, France, Eng
land and other countries sought the
same sort of tariff agreement. They
regard themselves as entitled to this
under the INSTRUMENTATION
clause Of their treaties with the
United States.
But even the mild agreement with
Germany has called forth such
vigorous protest from the extreme
protectionist element among the re-
publicans that Secretary Root hesi-
tates to make any more such agree
ments without being assured Of the
support of his party in congress.
Therefore there is little surprise at
the announcement from the state
department that the reciprocity ar
rangement with France will not be
concluded in the near future and may
be postponed until next year.
There has arisen such howl on
account of the German-American ar
rangement that the state depart
ment officials state that it is deemed
advisable to allow congress at the
next session to express its opinion
upon a general extension Of the ex-
listing reciprocity arrangements be-
fore Secretary Root submits to that
body any new arrangements other
than that with Gern-ny."
AS a matter of fact, that arrange
ment would not necessarily come be-
fore congress, as section three of
the Dingley act authorizes the ex-
ecutive branch of the government
to make such arrangements without
reference to the senate or to con-
gress. But in the case Of the new
German arrangement, IN addition to
the changes already made in the
customs regulations in this country,
substantial notifications of the ad-
ministrative features of the exist
ing Dingley tariff act have been prom
ised to Germany. This promise can
not be redeemed except by act of
congress, so that the subject is sure
to come to the fore early in the ap-
preaching session, with the posi-
bility of provoking a long tariff de-
bate.

Mississippi Feels Effect Of Tie-Up

So far as Mississippi is concerned,
the strike Of the telegraphers has
shown no Improvement during the
past week. On the contrary, it is
growing worse, business being prac-
tically at standstill in all Of the lar
ger Offices, while in the smaller towns
the operators still on duty find it i'm
possible to get messages to the CON-
mercial centers.
The strike in Mississippi is under
the direction Of Mr.. C. HI. McElreath,
president Of Memphis Local No. IL,
whois sending out daily bulletins by
mail to the strikers in this state urg-
ing them to remain out until the strike
is officially settled. The only papers
show decided scarcity Of news on
telegraph pages, although the press
associations are doing everything pos
'sible to. move the reports. a 20

Southern Cotton Association.

President Walter Clark, Of the Mis-
sissippi division Of the Southern Cot
ton Association, has launched an ag-
gressive campaign Of reorganization
and will endeavor to revive interest
among the farmers Of Mississippi in
the work Of the association. During
the remainder Of the present month
Mr.. Clark will visit number Of the
principal cotton growing counties to
confer with officers Of local branches
that have been practically in state
Of disbandment for several months.

fluence on the work Of the organiza-
ton in Mississippi. President Clark

to report to him as early as possible

Mississippi may get in line before the
general meeting.

ARCHAIC AMERICA.

"In many cases our older towns still retain certain architectural character i1 accordance with the date of their foundation and the nationality of their founders. They already have a past full enough of historic interest to make it well worth our while to wish to pre- serve their souvenirs intact.T says E. C. PeixOtto in the course of an article In Appleton's for January. There are old Dutch towns in Delaware. and Pennsylvania as quaint and pictures que as many town in Holland: there are old colonial towns in New England and Virginia whose elm-lined streets and brick churches transport one. with no great flight of imagination, to the byways of Sussex or Wessex: there are old Spanish towns in California with painted walls and red-tiled roofs. that recall the hillsides of Granada. Each tell it's tale of history But these records of our past are fast disappear ing,and it is high time We sought to check this disappearance Historical societies like the Colonial Danes and the Sons and Daughters of the RevOlu- ton have already done much toward this end in cases of individual build ings specially remarkable for historic reasons"

A PtNNSY. TOWN
 BUILT 10 ORDER
A Model Residence Community Which Arose in a Night for Freight Yard Employees.

Harrisburg. Pa, Jan. s Special Cor respondence to The Republican. )-TO make homes for ;he 1900 men employ ed in the EnOla freight yards the Penn sylvania railroad has built a town to order. It has sprung up in a night Across the Susquehanna from this place. where nothing but bare hills could be seen awhile ago. there are now a hundred dwellings. designed by the leading architects of the country, d picturesque inn. trees, wide, paved streets. school. electric lights. water works-everything a modern city dwell Ter could ask for.
 Other industrial towns like Pullman. H.. have grown up gradually. Enola has. almost literally. been built com plete before it had a single resident.
 When the Pennsylvania railroad es- tablished its Enola freight yard in con- nection with the new low grade route from Pittsburg east, it was met by the question. Where will the workmen liver" The town of Enola is an ans wer to this question which means that too much can not be done in order to secure the physical well-being of Penn sylvania railroad employees.
 Forty-fOur houses were begun at the same time; then ntty-six more; now another half hundred have been start ed. Eventually it is the idea that every house with its grounds will be owned by the man who lives in it. and nobody but Pennsylvania railroad men can re- side there. The houses are sold by the company on an easy payment" plan. under which the purchaser. pays no. profit or interest except his share of the interest charge that the company as stunned tO finance the undertaking
 Saloons, blacksmith shops, and noisy factories are barred from Enola. There must be at least twenty-five feet be- tween each house. The most expensive residence suburb in the country Is not more carefully restricted"
 The school opened with eighty-seven pupils and two teachcrs-all the sons and daughters of railroad men. The Enola inn was built for the train crews who spend a night at this point. It is Y NJ C. A. headquarters as well as hotel

THE VERDE eRANDE AT JEROME.

Jerome. Ariz.. Jan. 5.-Superintsnd- ent J. c. Scott of the Verde Grande Copper Company is making a new rec ord in development work upon thlz company's group Of claims adjoining the United Verde mine Development work was started about the middle Of December. but the road connecting tse property and railroad is almost com pleted- The camp is located three quarters of a mile from the Unite,r Verde and Pacific Railroad. Hereto fore supplies were brought into camp on burrOs. The -cOmpany's bunk h0us. and boarding house for the miners are completed and equipped A splendid force of men has been employed. and as fast as laborers arrive in camp. they are put to work
 The blower and equipment has ar rived on the ground and Is ready to b- installed. The shaft being sunk is un- usually large. double compartment. anc Is expected to strike at a depth of 40a or 500 feet the same ore body as Is be- ing worked in the United Verde juSt across the hill. By the time the sui phide formation is reached. the com pany's shelter. barring unlOOked-fo- delays. will be ready for operation Arrangements have been made so that machinery will be shipped immedi- ately upon order. Fuel Is within cas- reach via railroad. Water Is supplied the camp from Walnut Springs. lOcat- ed just above the property. Supt Scott is to be congratulated upon be ing backed by a company having funds- ffrfa.r sN. without delay.
 The Verde Grande of Jerome Is un- doubtedly one of the best located group of claims in the Arizona copper region It has 10 claims of 120 acres. adjoining the great Clark mine. the frontage or the Verde Grande claims upon the latter being nearly 5000 feet.
 The ore in the United Verde Is an immense sulphide body. which experts unite in saying extends in a south westerly direction through the ridge across the Verde Grande claims anl on south one of the dykes on the Verde Grande property can be traced across the ridge on to the United Yer de property. Ore from the Outcrop- pings has been pronounced identical with that of the United Verde Smelt- ing of this ore shows it tO run very high in values.
 One of the most enthusiastic pur- chasers of stock of the Verde Grande is a miner who formerly worked in the United Verde mine. He kept a keen eye on the Verde Grande. and the moment he saw the first advertising of this property. he invested his little all wishing he. had more to stake ou this property.
