MEAINIINGER ORDERS MISTRIAL
Members of Jury Had Communicated
With Outsiders.

Columbia, Oct. 1.-The John Black
diSponSary graft trial came to sud-
den and sensational end this morn
ing.
Judge Memminger, after investi-
eating the incident of last night of
Juror J. ID. Perry communicating
with his clerk out of the hotel win
dow, ordered a miStrial.
No corrupt intent in the communi-
cation was shown, but an investiga-
ton developed still more serious
matter, that one of the jurors got a
paper thrown into the room. This
was a copy Of "The State" newSpa-
per of Thursday, containing opinion
expressing headlines and sympo-
SUM Of denunciatory editorials on
the Farnum case.
The judge said the combination of
the two would throw suspicion on
any verdict that might be rendered.
He held Juror Perry and his
clerk. G. Nj. Doern, for contempt,
though he has not sentenced either
yet.
The remainder of the jury was re-
leased temporarily without pay,
Judge Memminger saying he was un-
decided what to do regarding them.

A Tariff Commission.

The plan for a permanent tariff
commission receives the unqualified
Endorsement of Mr.. Taft, who writes
to an Indianapolis correspondent that
if the new tariff bill should make
provision for such body it would
meet his views exactly. The ma
tional tariff conference, which will be
held next month, will indorse the
plan and may take steps for the Gre
alton of a permanent unofficial board
of tariff investigators. Unless a def
mite degree of authority is conferred
by congress on commission of it's
creation, it is possible that an unoffi-
cial board of investigators would ac-
complish quite as much in the real
advancement of tariff reform as a COM
mission whose opinions, if not it's en-
tire course of action. would be sub
ject to the political influences of the
congressional majority.

Horse Breeding to Type.

Farmers, and others, for that matter,
as well, must breed to type. They
must know what kind of horses they
wish to produce and strive to that
end, declares John Gilmer Speed in
Century magazine To do this, they
should know what kind of material is
at hand, and how it can be used. Here
Is something that the United States
department of agriculture should do.
And the war department might also
assist, for proper cavalry remounts are
difficult to secure. In European coun-
tries, where great standing armies are
maintained, there are not only govern
mental breeding farms, but the farm
ers are encouraged to breed army
horses by the giving of prizes, and by
permitting government-owned stations
of proper breeding to stand to ap-
proved stock at merely nominal fees.
In Austria l have seen a whole regi-
ment of cavalry mounted on horses so
true to type that it would take study
from another. In Germany the govern
ment has been breeding for the cav
airy since the time of Frederick the
Great, and with most satisfactory re-
suits. In these continental countries
much enterprise is shown in securing
the best blood that may be had in
other countries, not emitting the Des-
ert of Arabia, whence comes the best
and purest equine blood in all the
world. In this matter Of horse-breed-
ing the Italians are not the least enter
prising, nor, by the way, are the TIA
lians by any means inferior in their
horsemanship.

BOTH SENSIBLE AND HONEST.
United States Steel Corporation Acted
Wisely and Well.

Assuming that the purchase of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron Company by
the United States Steel Corporation
was in no sense a violation of the
Sherman law, why did Judge Gary and
Mr.. Frick consult President Roose-
welt? And why did they tell him, ac-
cording to his own statement that
they did not wish to do this if I
stated that it ought not to be done?"
New York World
Easy. For the simple reason that
they wanted TO know whether their
purchase would be regarded as illegal
by the national department of justice.
They were confronted with the facts
of an administration pledged to trust
busting" and an attorney general who
had been gasconading or jesting about
shooting into whole coveys of cor
porations"
They did not want TO make a pur-
chase, even to save the banking situa-
ton and avert panic, that might sub.
ject their company to prosecution.
They believed themselves the pro.
posed purchase would be legal, or not
in contravention of the Sherman act.
Their own competent counsel had ad-
vised them of that
But they also wanted to know
whether the president and his attor-
ney generals view of the law cores
ponded with their view. They did not
set up as infallible about the law, and
they sensibly and honestly took every
precaution possible to ascertain the
law as related to their own reliability
to prosecution.
Their consulting the department of
Justice, to make assurance doubly sure,
was an eminently proper and scrupu-
lous course. Their purchase of those
securities from the imperiled banks
was a public-spirited act that went far
toward saving the banking situation
and was so regarded and applauded by
the whole business and financial world
at the time of the crisis.

A Good Beginning.

The senate has passed without a dis
senting voice a bill appropriating
money for the acquisition of build
ing in Paris for the use of the Amer
lean embassy. The bill should be-
come law, and the operation of the
policy which it embodies should be ex-
tended till in all the foreign capitals
where the United States maintains en-
bassies it will be able to house them.
This will go far to do away with the
need that men sent as ministers to
Paris, London and Berlin shall pos
sess large means. 1t may sometimes
lead to the selection of individuals
more highly qualified to carry on dip
lcmatic negotiations than are certain
of the men selected under existing
conditions. The new class of ap-
pointees may, not cut a dash in Eu-
ropean society but they will have more
time to devote to the duties Of their
Evening Wisconsin.

STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION.
Movement to Provide Homes for Am.
bassadors Is Wise.

The senate has passed bill ma
king an appropriation for the pur-
chase or erection and furnishing of a
building in Paris for the use of the
embassy of the United States. There
was no debate and no dissenting voice.
The house may not act on the meas
ure at this session, but the unanimity
Of the senate warrants the hope that
the next congress will make the ap-
preparation.
The first step is the hard one. After
congress shall have decided to make
decent provision for the American am
bassador to France, it will inevitably
have to secure buildings for embassy
purposes in the other great capitals
of Europe. II would be impossible to
overlook London, Berlin, Vienna, st.
Petersburg and Rome. The less i'm
portant capitals could wait.
After the United States had its own
embassy buildings, meeting all the
personal and official needs of It's rep
resentatives, they would not be under
any compulsion to spend most of their
private means to maintain the dignity
of their positions. 1t is true that there
are men who stand in no need of
fine house to be useful and honored
ambassadors. If, as has been sug-
gested, the late president of Harvard
were sent to the court of st. James,
he would be as much esteemed and
sought after if he were in a few rooms
as if he occupied a palace. But such
a man should not be compelled to live
in restricted quarters or denied the
opportunity to reciprocate courtesies
in kind because of the parsimony of
his government
When provision shall be made for
the proper housing of American am
bassadors men of high standing but of
limited means will be enabled to fill
offices now practically closed to them.
The president will have a wider range
of choice and the interests of the
United States in foreign countries will
be better served.

Delay Will Do No Harm.

II has been limited that if the lakes
to the gulf project is not included in
this sessions rivers and harbors bill,
if there shall be one, the bill shall not
be permitted to get through 1t would
not be calamity if there were no
legislation this year. The regular APP
preparations for the next fiscal year
Will use up more money than the
treasury will receive during that peri
cd. The deficit for this fiscal year
will be about $114,000,000. The sec
retary of the treasury thinks the
deficit for the next fiscal year may
be about S143000,000. That is a
guess, but it may not be far from the
truth
The impending revision of the tariff
may reduce customs receipts momen-
tarily. The Importation of goods the
duties on which it is probable will be
reduced or taken off will be checked.
So unless there shall be a decided
jump in the internal revenue receipts
a considerable deficit will be newt
able.
Manifestly this is time for con-
gress to be economical wherever 1t
can. 1t should spend no money on
purposes, however praiseworthy,
where no harm will be done by wait
ing year or two. There are rivers
which need improving, but they will
not run away if not attended to at
once. The deep waterway project will
not lose any of its meritorious fea-
lures by postponement. There would
be no reason for the shedding of tears
If there were no rivers and harbors
legislation at this session-Chicago

WITH THE COUNTRY
REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR HONEST
TARIFF REVISION.
Duties That Have Been Proved Un-
necessary Must Be Removed in
Accordance with Pledges
Made to the People.

A local contemporary which thinks
mudAled thoughts on the tariff and
regards that instrument as too sacred
for human touch makes Judge Gary's
bluff concerning the iniquitous duty
on steel the subject of it's most dis
tressful attention, declares the San
Francisco Call Judge Gary, speaking
as the head and front of the steel
trust. was filled with solicitude for the
little fellows, the small manufactur-
ers of steel. Having created this
monstrous trust with the help of a
wholly unnecessary duty on steel, he
now takes shelter behind the infants u
whom he would gladly destroy
if he could, and asks that the
consumers of steel products be com
PEELED to pay wholly superfuous
tax, although Andrew Carnegie, who
ought to know, has declared that no
duty of any sort is needed, and that
the United States can make steel at
less cost than producers in any other
part of the world. The fact is not
disputed that this country can, and
iOCos Stll Sltcl III lOlClSu hclS III
competition with English and German
manufacturers.
Our contemporary regards the Ding
ley tariff as sacred instrument and
any interference with its schedules
is akin to sacrilege. 1t is a sort of fet-
ish before which the whole people
should bow down and worship.
The other day in Washington it
was discovered by sharp eyed re-
porter that the towels in use in the
rooms of the ways and means COM
mittee were marked Made in Eng
land and the chairs on which the sa-
cred persons of the committeeman
reposed were manufactured in Wen
ma These discoveries were made the
subject of a portentous joke on the
committee. They were high priests
of the tariff religion and were caught
in open commission of a mortal sin.
1t is the same state of mind that af-
flicts our muddled contemporary. All
foreign commerce is sinful, even if
the consumer takes material benefit
thereby. The home producer may be
perfectly well able to take care of
himself, no matter under what condi-
tions of competition, but, in fine, not
single brick of the temple may be
dislodged Let him be anathema who
would suggest that the country owes
any obligation to the consumer.
That is not the attitude of the Re-
publican party. 1t is not the attitude
of Judge Taft, and if persisted in
would mean the downfall of the whole
protection system. The country is in
the mind to insist on an honest re-
vision of the tariff. giving the fullest
protection to struggling industries,
but cutting off those unnecessary du-
ties which operate only to rob the
whole people in order to fatten spe-
cial interests which need no help. Of
these duties, the tax on steel is the
most fragrant example.

Gen. Grant says that his father did
not smoke to great excess until after
the capture of Fort Donelson. The
story went through the nation that
Grant had fought the battle with a
cigar in his mouth. Friends congratu-
lating him on this, the first great vic
tory in his life, accompanied their
messages with boxes of cigars. The
hero was thus encouraged to smoke
more than was good for him. 1t is an
extreme case of the damaging effect of
he American treating habit.

Americans who have hesitated be.
tween the use of Scotch" and Scot
tish,'' not knowing which is preferable
or correct, will be interested in know
ing that others have felt the same
doubt. The subject recently came up
in the house of commons when a mem
from Dumfries urged that the name of
the Scotch education department
should be changed to Scottish" !"
Scotch, he said, was wrong, but when
urged by his associates to prove this
he could not do so satisfactorily.
Facetious members insisted that his
objections to the word Scotch" grew
out of his temperance proclivities and
the fact that the word suggested other
things than a race of people The ad-
vocate of Scottish" did not convince
his English hearers, but as matter of
fact it is said that the word Scottish"
prevails in Scotland. 1t is a matter of
custom, however, without special phiIo-
logical basis.
