Tariff Hocus Pocus.

One OF the best arguments against
any tariff bill ever made was that of
Senator Beverage in his reply to Sen
ator Newlands, on January s. 1908
Mr.. Beveridge declared that congress
could not of itself find out the facts
and make the classifications necessary
as a condition precedent TO framing a
Just tariff bill (See record. page 1880
Yet the peoples representatives alone
are authorized to frame such a bill
II they cannot frame just tariff BILL
why should they frame any at all?
If the committee on ways and means
cannot discover and correct the inc
qualities Of the iron and steel schedule.
the wool schedule. the cotton textile
schedule. the wood schedule. the pot
terry schedule, and two or three others
which do all the real damage, then pop
ular government is a failure indeed.
This Beverage bill is a snare and a
delusion. IL was conceived in sin and
born in iniquity. Its object is to allow
the trusts to continue to charge our
own people not only the difference
between the price OF any article
abroad and the price at home, but 20
sell steel rails and other products
from 20 to so per cent cheaper abroad
than at home. IL will not fool anybody
outside Of Indiana, however. 1t is too
Falstaffian--too gross and paipable a
fallacy.

WANTED THE WORLDS OPINION.
Prisoner Had TO Have That, Though
He Went Without Luxuries.

A certain prisoner landed In jail al
most pennless. He was a man who
had figured in a number OF the towns
shady transactions and his name was
pretty we'll known. A few days after
his Incarceration he wrote to a friend
asking for a monthly allowance of ten
,llars to be continued during his
term of Imprisonment. The friend, re-
Numbering past favors, RENTED the
amount each month during a period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day IL occurred
to him TO inquire into the manner OF
expanding the allowance. He sup
posed IL was used to buy occasional
extra meals few cigars and newspa-
pers, but just as matter OF curiosity
he asked for particulars. He found. TO
his astonishn0 Mt, that the prisoner
had never ordered an extra meal and
had not smoked a cigar all the time
he had been in Jail.
Then what in thunder" demand

and become putrescent, thus giving
rise 10 the most deadly germs
Ia drainage. the first necessity nat
ura!ly Is that the stalls must be ar
ranged with reference to whether the
animal be male or female. In the
case of males. the lowest part of the
stall must be between the fore and
hind feet In the case of female ami
mails. IL must be just at the rear.
For horses. says the Prairie Farmer,
the floor OF the stall may be cut across
midway from the point where the fore
and hind feet rest, with a shallow
groove, say four inches wide. and de-
scending from the sides TO the cen
ter, when IL ends in a grating fine
enough to prevent the escape OF the
bedding, etc.
Here il falls into a pipe running
under each stall and connecting with
each. having inclination sufficient to
carry away the moisture quickly and
emptying on the open ground. as far
away as possible from the stable;
nevertheless. Il is worse than folly to
adopt a system of underground static
drainage unless there is an abundance
OF water for flushing the pipes. In the
country this Is difficult 10 obtain
hence. sewage drainage is not prac
ticed except in cities having public
water works The illustrations wiz
show the idea we wish TO convey. One
of these represents stalls arranged for
gelding and for mare. as to position
for gathering the liquid.
Neglect often arises from the idea
generally entertained that stable ema-
nations are not inimical to human be
ings. IL is, however, a serious annoy
ance, as must be all disagreeable
odors. and. then. 1t is very injurious
to carriages, affecting the varnish. as
well as impregnating the cushions
with subtle odor and eventually rot
ting them.
When stable drains can be attached
to regula-- sewerage system. or be
run into a properly ventilated wasting
cesspool. there is little or no trouble
about vapors and odors; but Where
the liquid has to drain inSc closed
cesspool. considerable thought and In
genuity are required.
Ii need hardly be told that stables
ought not TO lie drained into the same
cesspool as the horse sewerage. L
