set forth in his speeches, every protec- tive schedule in the bill.
 Whose advice, then, will MT. Taft
 heed in signing tariff bill2 Will he
 accept that of its critics, or that of its
 framers, promoters and defenders?
 What sort of test can he put ito in determining whether 1t conforms with the republican platform, or with his conception of an honest revision7 Hon est revision is a vague term, and tho republican platform is hardly moro def inite; at all events it says nothing about downward revision, and it is pretty plain about the policy or the republican party to preserve "that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers, and producers are entitled.'' What are the worst schedules of the Payne bill--the hosiery, glove, and woolen chedulss-intended to do but to carry out the pledges of the republican platform to preserve Ameri- can manufacturers against foreign com petition Does anybody expect Mir. Taft to go back on that pledgs? And would he not be doing 80 if he vetoed a bill highly protective all the way through?
 1t is true that something was said during the campaign about the consum- CT, and an impression gained currency that tariff revision would lower the prices of the necessities of life. Moth ing could be. farther from the truth. Re vision will not operate that way, nor to diminish any prices save those of a few raw materials of manufacture But that fact will not give MT. Taft ground for vetoing republican tariff bill, for the whole doctrine of protec- tion assumes that the people pay for protection in order to establish and maintain industry in this country, and that domestic competition ultimately rs- duces prices. This is precisely the ar gument used for the increased duties on gloves, and we do not see what fault Mir. Taft can find with 1t unless he is no longer good protectionist. We are to pay more for our gloves, says Mir. Payne In order to give employment to 50,oO0 Americans at American wages. We have yet to hsar that MT. Taft is opposed to that sort of thing. It is tho very essence of protection.

WILL MIR. TAFT VETO THE TARIFF
 BILL?

BILL?
 The New York Tribune -crerts that
 senators interested in the complexion
 and fate of the tariff bill ara apprehen-
 sive over tho possibility that President Taft may veto it. Its Washi1 gton cor. respondent says MT. Aldrich is framing bill which cannot in any sense De re-
 garded as a revision downward, ihe i'm phcation being that the Aldri'h mea- sure will fail to come up to the standard set by MT. Taft of honest rev sion, of compliance with party pledges, and 50 on. MT. Taft, it Is said, is taking little interest in particular schedules, believ- ing 1t to be the duty of congress to frame a tariff bill, but has given fair warning that he will veto the measure If, when placed befors him, ii should te found unsatisfactory.
 In our humble Judgment, speculation cf this sort is all moonshine. We do not expect to live to see the day when a republican president deliberately vetoes tariff bill framed and passed by a party majority in house and senate. MT. Taft, it should be remembered, is a stanch republican and strong protsc- tionist. He is in favor of revision up- ward as well as of revision downward. Hs is for protectionist schedules all the way through. To be sure, he has enun- ciated certain principles of tariff revi-- sion, which, if carried out consistently in the framing of bill, might conceiv- ably produce quite a different result from that shown in the Payne bill. For example, MT. Taft has said that protective duties should not encourage excessive profits, and on that theory we should think an increase in the hos iery scAtdaio indefensible. But MT. Payno tolls us that the present duty is insufhciently protective, and that the manufacturers were able to show that more duty was needed to cover the diff ference in manufacturing cost, which Mr. Taft has agreed Is proper test of protection. Take the statements of the republican revisers, and you will find that they can justify by the terms of the republican platform, and even by Inc principles of revision Mir. Taft has

A YOUNG LION SLAYER.
Beer Farmer Boys Make Good shots
On the African VeIdt.

On the African Veldt.
Three lions were killed near Pist-
ersburg. TraRsvaal by the nineteen
year-old sen OF JoZef Erasmus,
Beer farmer. 1t appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and had outspanned his
donkey team, when his kafir 10y
came running TO tell him that three
lions were tackling the dOnkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one of the DON
keys. He 9red and killed a big
lioness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(younger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushweod. Erasmus first collected
his donkeys and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
s%proaohed the scene of the fight.
N order to find out II the two lion
s<sss were dead he flred another shot
at one Of them. This disturbed the
sarviving lion who thereupon came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the VOlkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,
Oom,' had my little Kafir boy,
with me.'-TAe skiRs were sold in

STATE BANK CASE IN
A NEW LIGHT.

jackson ClarIon-Ledgcr.
Deputy State Revenue Agent ChiIes,
who Is very familiar with the Scran.
ton State Bank case, the trials Of
which have resulted 10 the conviction
OF Messrs. Rourke and Stewart, Is
confident that the newspapers and
some OF the Jackson correspondents
have done Mr.. Stewart an uninten.
tioual injustice.
1t was stated a few days since that
Governor Noel had said he would not
consider the petition for the pardon
OF Mr.. Rourke, who is now on the
Rankin farm, until such time as the
supreme court had passed on the ap-
peal OF MIR. Stewart. 1t was also
stated that Mr.. Stewart was the
president and manager Of the Scran-
ton State Bank, and that he had been
convicted on the charge Of embezze.
ment This was not true, for more
than one reason.
In the first place Mr.. Stewart was
never president or manager Of the
ScranlQn State Bank, an'hif ute sec 7
ond place he was not convicted of EN-
bezzlement. He was cashier OF the |,
Moss Point Branch OF the Scranton
State Bank, and as such was tried for
having received deposits after he
knew the bank was insolvent. In the
FIRST trial on this charge Mr.. Stewart
was acquitted, but at the next term
OF court he was tried and convicted
On another count OF the indictment
for different deposit.
1t is stated that one Of thes Chic
grounds of appeal is that M Stewar
was tried twice for the Same offense
and II that fact be>>cstablished be vii
get a reversal
Mr.. Chjlres states that Mr.. Stewar
told MIN, or that he had heard MI
sks&wart had declared time and again
!. That Mr.. Rourke never got asingl
cent OF the money OF the bank, exceI
! his salary, aud that he should neve
have been convicted.
These things being true, an iniu
tice has been done Mr.. Stewart, an
it will afford any newspaper pleasul
to explain the situation. The chance
! are for reversal of the Stewart ca!
( and the pardon OF Rourke.
