Congress has been enacting tariff bills.
The championship of protection II
spots BIZ the Southern Democrats Is now
become novelty in tariff building, al
though it is offset to a degree, as
matter of voting strength, by the he
publican low tariff advocates from the
West. The men, who have to arrange
a medium of duties between the ex-
tremes OF opinion, accordingly have
sectional complications to reckon with
beyond anything ever before known In
schedule fixing Concessions are ae-
tually being made to placate Democratic
proteetionists from the South a. well
as Republican progressives beyond the
Mississippi.
After all has been said, however, the
concessions have been mainly TO men
who want the Dingley rates retained
or raised. and while hundreds Of Con-
gressmen have been busy for many
weeks adjusting differences of tariff
opinion and while there have been more
compromises effected to date over the
Aldrieh- Payne tariff bill, probably, than
over any other tariff bill in history, the
practical effect has been to take no
bricks off the top OF the tariff wall.

WASHINGTON, May THE fine
art of legislative compromise attalns a
pinnacle in tariff building. The Aid
rich Payne bill promises to attest the
fact. 1t is yet uncertain whether it
will be compromise upward or com
promise downward. The delicate mould
ers of amendments in Senate and IN
House have become SO deft at their
work that they can create differences,
which permit of either outcome.
And while the new law viii almost
certainly be twin brother of the
DingIey law, the conference committee,
which, more aptly, perhaps, could be
styled the compromise committee, will
have the power to make the resultant
of its labors something little lower
on the average or something little
higher than the current statutes.
Adroit standpatters in Congress prob
ably never had SO many good cards up
their sleeves. 1t is only question how
many of them they viii dare to play.
They are arranging compromises daily
with opponents in the Senate. But if
they lower the rates as written into
the bill, the layman can not know
whether the maximum provisional new
tangled thing in American tariff build
ing-by raising duties % per cent. to
certain nations will not make many an
article of popular consumption much
more expensive than it is now. No one
undertakes to say what new methods
of valuation win do in virtually rails
ing duties, or what will come of other
administrative features, including the
classification of imports.
There were compromises galore when
the Dingley law was built Il contain
ed S72 points of difference between
Senate and House, when it was put into
conference In early July of 1897. and
sixteen conferees spent eleven days of
active compromising in the work of adj
justment. When their work was done
any studious member of either branch
of Congress could determine what a
specific duty of 5 cents a pound or an
ad valorem of Is per cent. was likely to
mean.
The Ways and Means Republicans
framed that bill with practical una
nimity. There was some compromise
ing with manufacturers. On the whole
however, they got about what they de-
manded. The interests of House Re

Mr.. Pethcod Scroggs, of our vii
lage, has almost more trouble than
any other man in Betzville, his twins
are SO identically alike. 1t makes 1t
all the worse that both twins are
identically the same age, for it would
be easier to tell them apart If ote
was few years older than the other.
Pethcod says he does not often COM
plain about the ways of nature, but
that If he had had the inventing of
twins, he would have left an inter-
val Of, say, four or eight years be-
tween them. or, If they had to be of
the same age, he would have sort Of
distributed them into two different
families. He says he considers two
twins at once in the same family as
almost personal insult.
Last Wednesday one of Pethcod's
four-year-old twins wandered away
from the house and got lost in the
big woods back of Uncle Jed Free
mans farm, and it worried Pethcod
and Mrs. Scroggs nearly crazy. 1t
was about five o'clock when he had
feeling that maybe one of the twins
was lost, but he didn't know wheth.

The charge is that DR.. Cook Travelled

tee. She went leaping through the
big woods yelling as loud as she
could, and just as she came up with
the search committee the committee
had found Joe, and were singing a
song of triumph that Dave Giffings'
boy had thoughtfully written for the
occasion to the tune of John Browns
body. 1t went like this:
Joe. Joe Pethcod, he is found and he is
found,
Joe, Joe Pethcod, he is found and he is
found,
Joe, Joe Pethcod, he is found and he is
found
He is found and he is found
They had just finished the first
verse when Mrs. Pethcod ran up
screaming:
Stop! Stop. Stop finding joel" she
cried. ut is John that is LOST"
But she was already too late, for
they had found Joe. So there was
nothing to do but to call a meeting
of the committee, and the COMMITTEES
decided, quite properly, that as they
had started out to find one twin and
| hadn't found him, the whole list of
| parliamentary rules were broken by
finding the other, and that there was
nothing to do but go home and start
over again the next day. So they told
John to stay where he was and they
! would come out and find him the
next day, properly and in his right
name. Then they passed resolu,
/ tion of censure against Mrs. Pethcod
for giving wrong information and
went home, and they would have
found John properly the next day
only the little skeesicks tagged along
behind them all the way home.

FLAxsEED PRICE GOES UP.
Rain Makes Rate Soar in Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce.

Minneapolis, Oct 12.-Because it
rained Sunday and was cold Monday,
the price of faxseed went up 16 cents
bushel. There was snappy bull
market on at the Chamber of Com
merce and so.se excitement.
Minnesota and the Dakotas have
raised good flaxseed crop, but it has
not been moving in very fast from the
farms. Only 318 cars were brought in
by the railroads, compared with 1856
year ago.
Sales of flaxseed to arrive had been
made by country shippers for October
delivery. Reports of rain and cold
weather suggested that there might-be
some delay to the movement. An eff
fort was made to buy the October fu-
ture and the price jumped from STAG
to $1.62 in few minutes.
II haxseed remains high, it will mean
higher prices for linseed oil and the
linseed mill by-products.

Minneapolis Girls Wed Eastern Men
On Return From Europe.

Minneapolis, Oct. 1.-TWO girls
who thought they were to make their
homes in the twin cities changed their
minds when they reached the steamer
piers in the North river, New York,
say New York dispatches. The girls
did not know each other and they
arrived from Europe on different
steamers. Probably neither one
knows of the romance of the other.
1t was Cupid who changed the plans
of each.
Miss Florence Huebner, of st. Paul,
had been spending the summer in
Europe. She thought she was coming
home. But Maurice Hanson Dukes
of Fort Dayne, Ind. heard that she
was returning, and he was waiting at
the pier when the steamer tied up.
Ten minutes later he telephoned to
the marriage license clerk at the New
York city hall, asking him to keep
open until they could get there to OBJ
tain a license The clerk did, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Dukes now are staying
at the Hotel Astor.
Miss Marriette Baker attended
school in Holland with her brother and
John Carl Degraaf. Mr.. Degraaf now
resides in Hoboken, N. j., and Mr..
Baker in Minneapolis. The latter's
sister wished to join her brother here.
Her brother and Mr.. Degraaf were
close friends. But Mr.. Degraaf wished
! Miss Baker to reside in Hoboken as
Mrs. Degraaaf. Therefore, he met

of the young woman. So, instead OF
Miss Baker coming on to Minneapo
lis, Mrs. Degraaf telegraphed hel

She Went Leaping Through the Big v

into the yard, and there was one of
the twins, scooting around as lively
as could be, and then Pethcod ran
around to the other side of the house,
and there was the other twin-or at
least it seemed so-but he couldn't
be sure, the twins are SO lively.
Pethcod says he ran around the
house for over an hour, and some
times he thought it was both twins
and sometimes he thought it was only
one, moving from place to place, but
at last he got so puzzled that he took
the twin and tied it to the pump, and
then when he went around the house
he saw that there was no other twin
there, and he knew the other twin
must have wandered into the big
woods and got lost.
1t was getting on toward dark by
then, and Pethcod knew that the
only thing to do was to get up a
search party and search the woods,
and he would have done it immedi-
ately, but he couldn't decide which
twin 1t was that was lost. He stood
and looked at the twin that he had
tied to the pump, and sometimes he
thought it was John, and sometimes
he thought it was Joe, but he couldn't
be positive, and until he could be
sure he wasn't going to start search
party, for it would be plumb foolish
to start out a search party to find q
twin that wasn't lost.
About the time he was getting per-
fectly discouraged Mrs. Scroggs came
out and he told her what was the mat
ter, and she stood awhile and looked
at the captive twin, and then she
spoke right up.
That's john" she said positively.
"All right then" said Pethcod, and
he went right down to the post Office
and gave the alarm that Joe was
lost in the big woods, and Uncle
Ashdod Clute Immediately got on a
box and organized a public meeting
to consider the best thing to do. The
first thing he did was to nominate
himself chairman of the meeting, and
he appointed Pethcod secretary, and
named a vice-chairman and second
vice-chairman. So that got things
started all right, and Pethcod wrote
letter to himself, stating that Joe
was lost, and then he read the letter
to the meeting, and it was the unani
nous opinion that the matter wal
important, and that petition ought
to be drawn up, petitioning the chair
man to appoint searching commit
tee to search the woods and find Joe
as quickly as possible, but 1t was toe
late by that time to get the petition
ready, SO the meeting adjourned, tt
meet the next night, and Pethcod was
instructed to have the petition al
ready.
He went home feeling lot bet
ter in his mind, since he had got mat
ters moving along in the right di
rection, and the only thing that trou
bled him much was John, who In
terfered with the regular household
