quickly rs possible.
; Mr.. Clay took exception to state
Z ment by Mr.. Aldricb that nc had given
predominencc to statements by the lead
I producers as TO their needs for q duty
on lead, and declared that if that course
were pursued the rehners OF sugar
would name the rate TO be fixed on
that product aud other producers would
consumer.
Mr.. Aldrich said he had only said
that when the testimony of the Amcrl-
can producers and the importers of
goods from foreign countries conhictcd
he took the testimony of the American
producers, and said that he proposed to
continue 10 do so.
Bristow Is Stubborn.
In concluding his remarks Mr. Blis-
tow said that rather than give the
American people an improper tariff law
he would send the subject back to them
TO be fought over two years hence.
Mr.. Carter undertook TO retute any
suggestion that the senate bad not had

reaus and departments. lie SAID that
the hearings held before the house
cnmmittee would finally reach cost
of over 100000 and asked if there
was any reason for the duplication Of
this by the senate.
Mr.. Bevcridge objected that the
finance committee had reached certain
of it's conclusions, which were not at the
disposal of the most Of the members OF
the senate.
Mr.. Newlands contended that there
was so much information that a com

to be gathered from 1t.
Mr.. Carter then spoke In opposition
to a tariff commission.

Eyading the Customs.

False declarations by tourists and larg-
.er swIndling by underweIghing have been
going on az the New York custom-housa,
in the opinion Of Collector Loeb. for
about fifty years. There has been much
criticism, more or less irritated OF the
zeal Of this revenue official IN the exami-
nation Of the luggage and other belong
ings OF passengers; but It IS to his
credit that he does not hesitate to at
tack the greater frauds. It IS true, OF
course, that the cheating OF the customs
by underweighlng could not have been
pursued without the connivanoe OF revc-
nue. employees. The scandal Is not light
ened by the long and 1nferenually wiilful
blindness Of officials in the past. In fact
II seems to have become almost an es-
tablished rule that these public employees
should assist IN defraUding the Treasury.
What has been lacking hitherto has been
either the ability or the desire 10 do
the disagreeable duty Of probing the
EVIL.
Yet the methods employed seem in the
retrospect 20 have been fagrantly open
and easy OF detection. Had the subordi-
mates Of the customs service been acting
for their own protection instead OF for
a public employer. they could not have
failed TO run against the impudent frauds
No one may know the amount Of these
frauds in the past. Il would be idle
10 guess at the possibilities OF their repe-
tition when vigilance shall be relaxed
In themselves, the personal aspect Of
these evasions reflects individual greed
rather than any sincere protest against
the customs laws whether they be con-
sidered as protective Of domestic indus
tries or only for purposes Of revenue
They are offensive. not merely because Of
losses 10 the National Treasury. but be-
cause Of their evidence OF dulled re-
spect for the law and Of blunted con-
science.

A ChrOmatic Question.

A wife in Milwaukee seeks divorce be-
cause Of a lack OF harmony with her hus-
band upon a question Of color. The
issue is not Of race, but Of ties; not Of
the tie that binds, but OF the necktie
The lady wishes the husband 10 go
shopping with her. That would seem in
itself a reason why ne might seek legal
separation on the ground OF cruelty.
But she goes even further In requiring
that upon these harassing excursions he
shall don a cravat Of chromatic accord
with the shade Of her gown. Her com
plant recites that he has committed the
artistic atrocities OF DOMINIC a four-in-
hand OF green when escortlng her attired
in plum silk. and OF marching with a tie
OF sky blue next to her dress OF vernal
green.
1t would appear that this lady is some
what unreasonable. II her husband Is so
self-sacrifcing as to endure tie ordeal
Of her career through the emporiums OF
dry goods that have not made their
homo city famous. she ought to concede
to him the privilege Of encircling his
neck with such gear as he fancies. so
long as It does not shock the public sense
Of propriety. Surely. she would not go
so far as TO require that he should make
his afternoon plug hat conform TO the
recent amazing variations in the milll-
ner's adornment OF her browning glory.
Nor would she require his stockings-but
It were better not to become more spe-
cihc. As TO neckties, masculine patience
has proverbially It's annual trials In the
gentle surprises OF Christmas tide. This
question OF cravats may be a Gordlan
knot II so. the husband may cut II by
going on strike: that is, by refusing 10
go shopping or to supply the where
withal therefor But the issue may wei
require a Daniel for its judgment

Parent and Child.

Mrs. Ellen Spencer Nusgey. In the No
vember Good Housekeeping. calls atten-
ton to many curious and seemingly IN
Just phases OF the legal relations be-
tween parent and child in this country
The contribution is not argumentative
so much as It is series Of statements
Of fact from which conclusions NAV read
fly be drawn. The writer concerns her
self only to the extent OF pointing out
some OF the inequalities and Injustice,
existing-these including numerous spe-
cific statutory disadvantages and disa-
bilities imposed upon woman and her
child in favor OF the husband and father.
The purpose Of the writer, however. Is
plainly indicated IN a subhead 10 the
title Of the article reading. Laws which
impel people to work for equal suffrage"
Taking broad view Of the question OF
equal suffrage, it will be acknowledged
that the women come TO the bar OF pub
lie opinion powerfully equipped and quite
likely TO attract attention when they
make the child the basis Of their plead
ing. The ancient fallacy that the father
nlone. or even to any preponderating ex-
tent. Is responsible for the child. and en-
titled solely to the direction Of its des-
tiny and the fruits Of its labor. Is no
longer accepted without question. The
father, primarily, IS righteously charged
with the support Of the child. but the
mothers responsibility for its training
and moral and intellectual development
is so Enthusiastically indicated that the
denial Of her positive right 10 participate
in the framing Of laws affecting her or
spring is one that 1t will be extremely
difficult lightly 70 brush aside.
The subject manlfestly opens a wide
area OF discussion. It invites ANALYSIS
at the hands Of thinkers open TO convlc-
ton and reasonably attentive to any plea
apparently worthy CT grave considera-
ton And when woman comes forward,
holding her child in her arms or leading
# by the hand and by that token. asks
of man a hearing on her legal rights and
status. she is more than apt to get it
promptly and ungrudgingly.

visit Looked on as EmphasiEing
FFiendIiness of America.

FriendIiness of America.
From the Shanghai Tines
The presence in Shanghai OF the Hon.
c. w. Fairbanks, ex-Ylce President Of
the United States. serves as a reminder
Of the increasing interest being taken n
the affairs OF China By America. The
distinguished career OF Dir. Fairbanks in
the Senate and his later election 70 the
high Office OF vice president furnished
the best possible guaranty Of his being
able 70 properly represent the opinions
and aims Of his countrymen. While his
visit is in no way Official. he himself not
being an officer at the present time OF
his government. yet lie has been ac-
corded by Japan and China the highest
hOnors. In Pel1in he was received by
the prince regent and all the leading
ministers OF state called TO present their
respects 20 him.
The time Of his visit TO the capital had
been planned long before the arrange
ments for the American participation IN
the railway loans had been mooted. but
coming as II did Immediately after the
final negotiations II did much 70 empha-
size the fact that Americas action IN
this matter had only been taken in a
most friendly spirit The influence ex-
erted has been indirect, but none the less
beneficial, as evidencing in an unofficial
way the real bond Of sympathy between
the two nations. The large body Of
Chinese students studying IN America
has for more than quarter OF a cen
tury turned the attention OF the American
people toward China, and that Interest
was greatly deepened BY the visit Of
his highness Prince Pu Lun 70 The ST
Louis exposition, and the later visit OF
the travelling commission. OF which
Niceroy Tuan Fang was a member.

TWO YEARS AFTER.
The Financial UpheavaI Of 1907 and
the Good Outlook of To-day.

The Financial UpheaVaI Of 1907 and
the Good Outlook of To-day.
From the Hartford Times
Just two years ago the country was
experiencing q financial whirlwird. The
panic was In full blast. On October 2,
1907 the Knickerbocker Trust Company.
OF New York, went Into the hands OF a
receiver and public confidence was
shaken. On October %, Secretary OF the
Treasury Cortelyou. seeking to allay the
tension, announced that $25.0OOOO0 Of
government money would be deposited IN
New York banks, and on that date the
Westinghouse concerns failed and the run
on the Trust Company OF America as
sumed prodigious proportions On Octo-
Der a cali money rose to 100 per cent.
bat J. Pierpont Morgan organized bank
ers' pool 70 loan S25, 600 at 10 per cent
The events OF the following days grated
on the nerves. It was a time that tried
mems souls. Values crumbled: financial
and Industrial concerns went into hands
Of receivers; mill wheels stopped turning;
credit was strained; anxiety and distrust
and uncertainty prevailed. Then came
months OF Industrial paralysis. Produc-
ton was reduced 10 its lowest terms.
The change which has been wrought
since the upheaval Of two years ago IS
remarkable. The recovery from the dis
aster has been striking on the bedrock
barred by the crisis and depression has
been erected. steadily and moi spasmodi-
cally. a great structure OF prosperity.
Act huc oh v,1~ %,
Two jobs now grow where only one grew
before. A general spirit OF confidence
obtains The financial outlook Is not
wholly satisfactory, but conditions gem
orally are altogether encouraging.
The revolution which has been accom-
p!ished IN two years IS characteristic OF
the American people. No country has
such a capacity for recuperatlon as the
United States.
