But not much long stock came out, and before the end of the first hour the market was rallying again.

TARIFF COMMISSION.
One Is Provided for in a Bill Offered
by La Toilette.

Washington, March 2O.-If a bill for
the creation of a tariff commission
which was introduced today by Senator
La Toilette should become a law it
would be competent for the commission
and the president together to suspend
any tariff schedule and put on the free
list any article on which there was
such a combination as would control
production, prices or wages either in
the United States or in any foreign
market. The bill provides for the ap
pointment of a commission of nine
members. one from each of the judicial
circuits of the union and no one of
which shall be a member of congress.
Not more than five are to be members
of any one political party. One is to be
skilled in manufacturing, another in
agriculture, another in imports, another
Il representative of labor, the next a
lawyer skilled in the tariff laws the
next an expert in tariff and reciprocity
one in the knowledge of production and
accounting, another who has made
study of foreign markets, and the last

So rules the governors Office, the
secretary Of states Office concurring
therein.
c. NJ. Hull of Salina is no doubt
one of the foremost men in the state,
but his fame appears not to have
penetrated deeply into the present ad-
ministration. So, when the time came
for Mr.. Hull to have his notarial
commission renewed, the usual blank
form of application for renewal was
sent him, just as is sent to all COM
mon citizens. Instead of signing his
name to the application, and giving
his postoffice address, together with
the signature of five or six of his
neighbors who endorse the applica-
ton, Mr.. Hull wrote across the face
curt note, in which he said that if he
had to go to aH that bother to get his
commission as a notary renewed. he
would just let the commission be
with held. eff you want to know

said, as a final blast, calculated to
blow the secretary of state clear out
of the water.
In reply to Mr.. HulTs communica-
ton, a new application will be sent
him, with the request that instead of
going to the trouble of writing an
other letter and sending in another
list of references, he simply sign the
application, and give his postoffice in

there was a marked falling off in the

that, of course, is all the purpose 1t
was meant to serve. But really 1t is
a little unjust to the Republicans Of
Alabama-not the Taft part. but the
"all six'-for there are more of them
than most people up this way have
realized. At the last presidential cleo
ton there were 22,472 Republican
votes cast-and counted-in the state
of Alabama. and that makes up quite
a respectable army These were
white Republicans. too. be it remein
bered, or most of them were, for the
black Republicans, who are several
times more numerous, are not allowed
to get in dangerous proximity to the
polls on election day since everybody
knows that for reasons and by
methods which need not be enlarged
upon here, and which are wholly dis
creditable and detrimental to the
South, the Democracy of that section
has DISTINGUISHED the major portion
of the Republican votes.
The 22,472 voting Republicans OF
Alabama make up a party greater
than the Democratic party in any one
Of nine northern and western states
which might be mentioned, Delaware,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada. North
Dakota. Oregon. South Dakota, Yer
mont and Wyoming. The Democrats
of Maine cast only 5000 more votes in
1904 than the Republicans of Alabama
cast at the same election. The voting
Republicans of Alabama are twice as
numerous as the Republicans and
Democrats combined in the sovereign
state of Nevada. While we might
wish that the Republicans were more
numerous in Alabama there is d,
least the consolation that there are
many more Of them in that state than
in the four states of Florida,
Louisiana. Mississippi and South
Carolina combined. But all things are
relative, and while the 22,472 voting
Republicans of Alabama seem quite
Il large number when certain COM
PARSONS are made. it is to be remem-
bercd that there are nearly four times
as many Democrats in the state and
there is only one solitary Republican
