The Tariff Commission,

The specific tariff measure which the
National Association of Manufacturers
favor Is the Beveridge- Stevenson hill
which provides for non-partisan tariff
commission to gather information
make suggestions, and guide Congress
In revising the Dingley schedules. This
wonderful commission is to be appoint
ed by the President, a Republican. with
view to carrying out his own Repub-
lican policies. The people who are
urging it say that they are Republi
cans and protectfonists, but assume
that the poor, fleeced, abused. inslllted
raclled and ruined multitude win re-
gard them as non-partisan and entirely
disinterested, In spite of their confess
sions to the contrary. We assume that
their proposition is both unconstitution-
al and inexpedient. 1t is unconstitu-
tional because "all bills soI raising rev.
enue shall originate in the House of
Representatives while the bill, in oues-
ton originated in the Senate; and be-
cause it would have the effect of mt
ting the initiation of tariff bills in the
hands of commission appointed BIZ
the President with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate and thereby de-
prive the House of its prerogatiye in
this vital matter
This shceme is an attempt to fake
away from the representatives of the
people the power of taxation secured
to them by the Constitution of the Unit
ed States.
1t is not only en- unconstitutional
measure. but a deceptive. hypocritical
measure. It's authors and hackers
know that any commission appointed
by Republican President and confirm
ed by Republican Senate would be a
Republican and partisan commission
They know that the question of high
tariff and low tariff-the question of
protection and monopoly-is party
question. They know that the Demo
cratic doctrine is TO take away artificial
props and supports from monopolIes.
TO remove the legal obstacles to whole
some competition now existing. and to
get down as soon as possible to q svs-
tenn in which every tub shall stand on
Its own bottom. in manufacturing and

Prosperitx for the Few.

In spite of the panic and the pro-
lOnged business depression there are
three institutions that have been re-
markably prosperous during the past
year. The First National Bank, con-
trolled by J. Plerpont Morgan, pro-
poses to declare a special Dividend Of
100 per cent. The undivided profits Of
the bank are reported to the Comp
troller of the Currency to be $40, 553,-
300, while the capital Of the bank is
$10,00000O
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad reports the most
prosperous year in the history of the
company; the net earnings after pay
ing all charges were $1O,0S9, 12S. The
surplus was equal to 3S.4 per cent on
the common stock and after payment
Of 20 per cent in dividends still left
$4,S49,32S surplus.
Another corporation, the Standard
Oil Trust, has paid dividends for the
year of 40 per cent and still has a vast
surplus.
SO here we have a bank, railroad
and a trust making millions for those
who control them, while ordinary bust
ness men have found difficulty in Sc
curing the necessary funds to carry on
their business and numbers have fail
ed to keep their heads above the trou-
bled business water. Such prosperity
for the few at the expense of the many
is the boosted Republican prosperity.

YUKON MINERS FIND MAsToDoN

Huge Animal In Perfect State of
Preservation Is Dug Up.
John Froling has just returned to his
home in this city after an absence Of
nearly seven years in Alaska and the
Yukon territory, says a Tacoma dis
patch to the New York Herald. Dur
ing his absence Mr.. Froling travelled
over the mountains and followed the
river and creek valleys of the far north
for years, in fevered search for the
yellow metal.
Mr.. Froling brings the facts of the
finding of the remains of a mastodon
In an almost complete state of preser-
walton. The body of the mammoth was
found forty feet below the surface. Mr.
Froling says, seven miles up Wood
choppers creek, a small stream that
flows into the Yukon about forty or
fifty miles above Circle City.
Several miners there had staked out
claims and were going through the
frosty earth in an effort to strike pay
dirt. They were operating a steam
plant, running down points, and were
one day surprised by noticing a pc
culiar smell of flesh emanating from
the excavation.
Upon investigating they found that
they were Immediately upon the car
cass of some immense animal, which
the almost red-hot steam was rapidly
decaying after it had lain in the frozen
clasp of its earthly bed for untold
years.
BY great effort they got the carcass
out of the earth, the task proving a
most disagreeable one, owing to the
fetid odors arising from it. Much of
the meat was still in good state OF
preservation and was eaten by the dogs
and wild animals that came about the
camp at night The bones Of the man.
moth were all intact and the last Mr..
Froling heard arrangements we're being
made to preserve the skeleton.
In his long travels over the Yukon
country Mr.. Froling found many spots
where the bones of the mastodon were
numerous, everything pointing to a
time when some sudden cataclysm had
brought unexpected death upon all the
animal life. He says these spots where
the mastodon bones are found so plen-
tlful are invariably sheltered valleys,
where the animals undoubtedly congre-
gated In their extremlties to shelter
themselves from the hardships of the
weather.

Care Of the Young Calf.

When young calf Is taken from its
dam, there is more or less difficulty in
raising it. Some mistakes are usually
made, the result being scours The nat
ural food of the calf is fresh, warm
milk, and the milk given 1t after it Is
parted from the COW should also be
fresh and warm. If skim milk is used
there will be lack Of cream, which
is important, so far as the welfare Of
the calf is concerned. One who has
been successful adds raw egg, well
shaken, with the milk, at each meal.
Flaxseed meal, cooked until a jelly
is formed, may be used with the milk,
a gill at each meal being sufficient at
first. Do not overfeed, but give lit
tie milk at time and often, at a tenn
perature Of 95 degrees.

Republican Indicts Hi. Party,

When you come to analyze it and
think about it, Governor Blacks in
dictment of his party is as severe as 1t
is true. Governor Black nominated
Roosevelt for Vice President at Phila-
delphia in 1900 He has been one of
the national leaders of the Republican
party for many years. Therefore, when
he expresses an opinion of his own par
ty that opinion may justly be regarded
as a just and fair statement Now Gov
ernor Black recently said: 1--WE have
seen the independence Of the
courts, the fixed and salutary bound
aries of coordinate functions. the guar
antea of fair play, the scrupulous re-
gard for the limitations of official pow
er. all, staggering under blows inflicted
in the party name" And since all the
blows under which these things are
staggering have been rendered effective
only because the Republican party has
by vast majority made them effective
by its unqualified approval, surely the
party is as rotten and reckless as Its
leader.

up the river to where he said the fish
ing was good AS they paused on the
bank, Doc Willets and Col. Case tried
to catch Bats eye and again audibly
fingered the coins in their pockets. Bat
looked up and down the river criti-
cally.
Il s'pose maybe Mr.. Willets better go
to that little cove there and fish from
the point back to the big white rock, :"
he. said at length. i've caught more
fish there than l could carry. Mr.. Case
l will take up round the bent. Plenty
fish there. And Mr.. Phillips" looking
at him as though somewhat in doubt,
maybe Id best show him beyond the
rapids. 1 catch fish there sometimes
and sometimes not. Maybe he'll do
better. That suit?"
ooh, yes, that's just the thing" cried
Doc Willets, and Just the thing"
echoed Col. Case. Then they both rub
bed their hands and looked at Bat ap-
provingly. Jack Phillips did not even
hear. He was gazing gloomil across
the river, his thoughts evidently else
where.
An hour or so later, as Bal was cir
cling from one to another, watching
and giving bits of advice from his own
experience, he came upon Jack Phillips
beyond the rapids. The young man
had drawn something from his pocket
and was looking at 1t hungrily, oblivi-
Gus of everything around. His rod and
line lay upon the bank unnoticed. AS
Bat turned to steal away he heard
Phillips utter a stifled groan of renun-
citation and despair and saw the object
cast into the underbrush. Then Phil
lips caught up his rod and went crush
ing through the bushes along the river.
When he was beyond view Bat went to
