 But Sir Francis is firm, asking h1s friends not to send deputation. Dlg- niGed aud b s'pesslike in debate and a perfect master of several subjects, he los been for a generation type of the hard-working private member.
 The man who stays too long Tn parliament makes mistake. he said, in an interview. "Palmerston. my first premier, and Gladstone both stayed too long Gladstone quite lost his balance toward the end. Even Lord Morley cannot defend all Glad stone did in later years.
 "The house once had good laugh at Gladstone. He was speaking with contempt of Disraelfs followers and stopped for a word to describe them. Satellites. suggested Disraei quietly. It was obviously the word Gladstone wanted, and the house roared with pleasure, while Glad tone was plainly upset.
 "I remember another occasion when Disraeli took the sting out of an at tack by Gladstone. The latter had been speaking in his romping way, throwing his arms about and declaim- ing vigorously Disraeli rose from the other side of the table and said with apparent seriousness: While the right honorable gentleman was speak ing I was glad to feel that there was big piece of furniture between us. In black and white that Is nothing, but Disraeii's manner delighted the house.
 Parliamentary life 70 years ago was more tempest"ous than it is now. I was in the house in Speaker Peel s time when two men began to fight. One of their men very rudely came and sat on our bench and it was re- sented Then the speaker was sent for and peace was restored"
 Sir Francis Poweli's chief claim to remembrance will be the interest he has taken in sanitation and education. He will retain his seat until the close of the present parliament.

ITALIANS IN ARGENTINA.

The Italian is the principal im- migrant. He is easily assimilated into citizenship because of the lan- guage, religion and mode of living. The very best class of Italian immi- grants have come hither and now form highly respected portion of the population. If furnishing ex- amples of thrift and industry to a people so lacking in these qualities as some classes of Argentinians are. is sufficient reason for a grant of citizenship these people deserve it. Whole colonies of Italians have been established in various places. So large a percentage of the immigrant class has come from Italy that they have even had some effect upon the language noticeable in the modiica- tion of the sounds of the letters.- From Buenos Ayres Letter to the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

 Its a good joke too. Heard it downtown Seems one of the boys was up in Maine this summer and just as he was getting over to Rattlesnake creek he heard a terrible swimming going on there. He went down to the shore and there on the other side of Rattlesnake creek was big turtle crawling away.
 He says the turtle had two rings on his tail and one button on the end, aud his shell was mottled yellow and red He says the two rings probably were for the turtle to go ahead, be- cause that's what the turtle was do ing. And when he saw the button on the end of the tail he knew he'd seen the turtles finish.
 That's some story. Eh? But listen here. 1 got to thinking about that story and I up and asks him how he makes it out that turtle could have rings and button on his tail Rat tlesnakes are the only critters that

QUESTION KEEPS COMING UP.

In spite of all that has been said re-
garding the guaranty fund for the pro-
lection of bank depositors. and the
further fact that the Republicans con-
sidered the question settled as a result
Of the national election last November.
the matter has taken root in many of
the states and in some laws have been
passed to give the desired protection to
a greater or less degree. None of them
is quite so strong as the Oklahoma
measure, but they are expected to ac-
complish the purpose sought, at least in
part
Kansas was among the states which
passed a guaranty law the past winter
and the governor and other officials Of
the Sunfower state have been given a
hearing in Washington on the right of
national banks 10 participate ia the
benefits. An effort was made by the
lawmakers assembled in Topeka to get
around the decision Of former Attorney
General BOnaparte regarding the Okla
homa law that the national banks
would lose their charters if they partici-
pated- 1t has been generally contended
that Bonaparte was playing the game
OF politics under the direction Of his
chief when he handed down" his opin-
ion, and the Kansans were Of the belief,
now that the election was over. that the
bar would be raised.
So far the treasury department has
not signihed its willingness, but unless
the currency law to be passed next
winter contains some protective fea-
ture, the Oklahoma plan Will doubtless
spread to such an extent as TO compel
the national government to acquiesce
i'm the operation Of the state laws and
allow the national banks to have a
share in the business. There seems to
be no good reason why the depositors
should not be protected.

DECLINING BIRTH RATE.

France is not the only country where
race suicide prevails to an alarming ex-
tent. According to figures compiled by
the census bureau. the birth rate in the
United States has fallen TO a surprising
degree. In 1890 the average family in
this country consisted of So persons:
one hundred years later it consisted of
only 40. According TO the report, had
the average size of American families
remained the same in 1900 as it was in
1890. the United States would have a
native population greater by 10000. 600
persons.
Another feature of the report is the
announcement that more than half the
white population Of the country IS COM
posed either of foreign-bOrn persons or
the native-boTu children of foreign par
euts. This class Of citizens is found al
most entirely in the New England
states and the middle west. the south
having kept its individuality of race. In
the middle and New England states the
foreign population formed in 1900 more
than half of the whole white population.
or 51S in every LOCO In the southern
states foreign citizens. or children born
here Of foreign parents, were only sew
enty-nine i'm every 1000.
The drift of population toward the
cities Is held to be in part responsible
for the reduction in The size Of families.
although the constantly increasing cost
OF living no doubt has something to do
with it, notwithstanding the enormous
wealth Of the country in the aggregate.
liz = evident that the people have con-
ciuded that they are only about half as
well able to rear children. without great
personal sacrifice, as their predecessors
were at the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury. In any event. the census bureau
figures speak eloquently for themselves.
In the matter OF sex. the population
is nearly equal, and there is little diff
ference between the figures Of the first
census and the las The report shows
that in 1890 the male population was 500
per cent Of the total. and the female
491 per cent. In 1900 it was discovered
that the women had increased some

49S female. Some startling results are
expected when the figures OF the census

native American birth rate shows a
further decrease.

/ Asst WORDS OF AN"ExPERT."

The intricacies Of the Payne bill and
all the other tariff measures is Illus
trated by the following humorous "spe-
cial' to the New York World from the
national capital:
Observation-Disclosures are the last intelli-
gible words Of a tariff expert:
IF "A hen and a half lays an egg and
a half in a Gay and a half in Singapore,
how much does it cost a family of five
to live in Kalamazoo if the duty on
Omelets is a cent and a half a pOund?'
The answer:
1t depends upon the compensatory duty
on feathers"
The average citizen Of moderate
means knows that he is being robbed,
but doesn't always know the methods
employed to extract the coin from his
pockets, and the expiring words Of the
tariff expert furnish no clue to the mys-
terry. One thing he does know, and that
is, that the schedules are purposely
drawn with the idea in view of keeping
him guessing as 70 how hard he is hit.
The Payne bill is probably not much
worse than the Dingley law in this re-
spect. Perhaps it was impossible to
make it so.
