THFRF THE SENATE FAILED.

A correspondent in Providence writes Us to
ask why The Tribune has condemned the tariff
bill recently passed by the Senate and advo-
Gated its remodelling in the committee Of con
ference. He SAYS:
VIII The Tribune kindly try 70 show ne. and
thousands more who still believe in the Repub-
Iicsn policy Of protection without modification
why we should not applaud rather than censuTe

great work. I cen understand why Democrats.
taught by their party TO believe in low tariff or
ne tariff should disspprove IF the AldTich bill
But why should any Republican protectionist
do 90?
The question is asked in good faith and we
gre glad to answer it. The Tribune believes
thar. SO far as the schedules are concerned, the
tariff bill passed by the Senate is far less salts
factory than that passed by the House Of Rep
resentatives- OF the two drafts that Of the
lower branch was. in our opinion, a more OBJ
Yious fulflrent Of the pledges Of the last Re
publican national platform as interpreted by
the Republican candidate for President and ac-
cepted by the public in the last national cam
paign. No Republican made on the stump in
1905 the assertion made in the Senate during
tie tariff debate, that the Republican party did
not promise TO revise the tariff downward. Hav-
ing given pledge to the voters. we believe that
the party cannot do less than redeem it by
legislation. The House bill was generally ac-
cepted by the country as a redemption of the
platforms pledge. Yet the Senate undid the
Houses work and recast tile Houses bill so as
20 make it practical reenactment of the Ding
ley law.
There is no Issue of protection anti-pro-
lection involved in the differences between the
fy7o houses Each draft is thoroughly protec-
Zionist in purpose and effect. The difference is
one Of judgment in applying the protective prin-
ciT,le The House acted on the theory that con-
difions in trade and industry have changed ma
tsrially since the Dingley law was passed. I'm
1897. II is self-evident that most of the great
industries here are stronger now than they
were twelve years ago. The iron and steel
Industry has almost outgrown the need of pro-
lection. There are other industries In which the
high protective rates of the Dingley law are
now more than sufficient. Wa do not favor rash

time to secure greater dura bility than rubber
possesses. r. c. Parsons, originator of the
steam turbine, is among those who have striven
to achieve that result. Success in one line Of
mechanical experiment does not always guar
antee success in another, and it is probably too
soon to estimate the value of the Englshman's

YEAR FOR SELLING COCAINE
DRUG VICTIMS TESTIFY
AGAINST ELTON GARNER,
Another to Be Prosecuted and Au
thorities Are Trying to Find
Out Who Sold It to Them.

Elton Garner. colored, was adjudged
guilty of selling cocaine in alleys of South
Washington this morning by Judge KIM
ball of the Police Court and given twelve
months in the workhouse, half of this
term an absolute sentence in accordance
with the provisions of the pharmacy act
The rest of the sentence was in default of
a $100 fine.
Pharmacy Inspector Van Zant, who
filed the charges after a three-day in
vestigation, and a number of witnesses
testified to the sales made by Garner at
different times in the past several weeks.
Two negro girls told of purchasing the
drug at prices ranging from . to % cents
a package and added that they could pro-
cure coke" as they termed it, from
Garner at any time they desired. Two
other witnesses corroborated this evil
dence.
Among the seven or eight negro Wit
nesses We're several confirmed cocaine
fiends. They showed physical evidence of
addiction to the drug and admitted, un-
der questioning, they used 1t frequently.
One witness in particular seemed recover
ing from the effects of d cocaine spree.
Her physical suffering appeared intense.
Garner is one OF a pair of alleged
coc-ine sellers the authorities have been
investigating recently The other accused
man will probably be arraigned before the
court OH the same charges in the course
of several days.
An effort is being made to ascertain
where the men have been procuring their
supply of the drug. Prosecutions along
this line may be expected In the near
future.

Miss Miriam Mosher, a pupil in the
Technical High School, who lives at $40
+ street northeast, is one of the prin
cipals in a pretty romance. the denoue-
ment of which is being watched for with
interest by persons in two cities. July )
she sent up a toy balloon at Scranton,
Pa, where she is now on a visit with
some friends.
A few days later William Mosely of
Olphant, Pa, while tramping through the
underbrush of Tiger valley, an isolated
place at the foot of West mountain, found
the Debated envelope of the balloon hang
ing on a bush. On examining it he discov
cred a card attached to the basket. The
card read: Miss Miriam Mosher. $40 F
street northwest, Washington, d. c."
He and those to whom he showed his
find concluded that the balloon had been
sent up on the 9Th of July from Washing
ton and had Travelled the distance of about
300 miles before falling. The balloon
measured twelve feet and was made out
of stout tissue paper.
The newspapers in Scranton heard of
the incident and in short time tele-
Miss Mosher and get from her some de-
tails of the remarkable flight of the
balloon. No one suspected that the
young lady was in Scranton.
MoSeley also began to seek for infor-
nation. not SO much about the fight of
the balloon as about the personality of
the owner of the card it bore. He
is an unmarried man. and on his
return home wrote a letter to
the sender of the balloon, calling atten-
ton to the fact that there is not much
difference between the names of "Mosely'
and "Mosher" The letter has been sent
to Washington, and upon it's arrival here
will be forwarded to Miss Mosher, whose
relatives and friends are much interested
in finding out something about Mr. Nose
ly The couple are really only few
miles apart, but Moseley still imagines
that Mss Mosher is in Washington.
Miss Mosher is regarded by her friends
in the Technical High School as re-
markably pretty girl She is fifteen years
old, and has golden hair and large brown
eyes. She is popular at school, and sew
eral of her friends are writing her TO tell
them how the balloon incident turns
