POPULAR FEELING AND TARIFF
BUNco.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, the
leading republican newspaper of
Minnesota, in an editorial entitled
as above, strikes at its party's tariff
program in the following wrathful
language:
The most wholesome thing for con-
gress to do at this juncture would be
to adjourn for few weeks and dis
tribute itself among its constituents.
1t would get in touch with the
practically universal evaporation and
disgust of the voters with the Payne
bill, the Aldrich monstrosity, and
the cheap skullduggery and chicane
which have caracterized the framing
of the house and senate measures.
But there is not the slightest hope
that congress will consult its con-
stituents. The tariff trainers do not
want to put their heads in the sand
and imagine that there is no trouble
in store for their blessed protected
industries. They can't and they
won't see that unless they grant the
just and reasonable demands of con-
sumers for more moderate tariff on
necessities, and for free raw mater
ials, particularly for free, lumber,
free wood pulp, free hides, free iron
ore and free coal, there will be a
storm that is not unlikely to put an
end for good and all to the republi-
can party as at present constituted,
or at least to the domination of the
standpatter and reactionary, and to
extreme protection for any industry
whether it needs it or not.
LET congress commit the crime II
threatens to commit and by little
judicious leadership on the part OF
the democratic party, by sloughins
off free trade, free silver and other
populistic excrescences, that party
would be likely to carry, four years
hence, almost every state in the Mis-
sissippi valley. To elect republi

WHAT is A HAVANA cleARY

From the London Chronicle.
What is a Havana cigar? The
London Sessions jury on Wednesday
appear to have been of opinion shat
a cigar made in England of Havana
tobacco cannot rightly SO be called.
And George Augustus Sala, who knew
as much about smoking as most peo-
pie, and had studied Cuban cigarmak-
ing ON the spot, once set forth that
three kinds of cigars come from Ha-
vana itself. First, genuine Havana,
made of tobacco grown, cured and
rolled in the island of Cuba; second
ly, cigars composed inside of United
States or European tobacco importei
into Cuba, with an outside wrapper
of Havana leaf. Thirdly, cigars
brought ready made from Europe,
mostly from Breen and Switzerland.
and re-eXported from Havana to Eur
ope, where they pay duty and are
sold to the unwary as "Havanas."

PARTING oE The MAYS.

From the New York World.
Because he was once a Democrat
MacVeagh's words >of warning do not
please the rump Republicans of the
Senate. When plunder and plutoera-
cy are afoot it is usually enough to
denounce as Democrats all who re-
sist their advance. Conditions are
changed to some extent when the
chief obstructionists chances to be
Secretary of the Treasury in the
Cabinet of Republican President.
Mr.. MacVeagh's admonition to the
Republican supporters of the pro-
tected trusts in the Senate was as
follows:
No great leader of an American par
" can fail to understand the value
of Independent thought and action
in the party itself if only this inde-
pendence aims at the party's liberal
izations and progress, and if it seeks
in and through the party to answer
more perfectly the deliberate and
wise demands OF the nation. And you
and l must agree-for, we cannot es-
cape the conclusion-that it might be.
come the duty of a great party leader
to create for his party new major
ity and control
Because this message from Mr..
Taft, who is the great party leader
referred to. was borne by man who
was once Democrat it is no less
binding and impre ,sive. The Repub-
lican party, from its organization tc
the present day has profited greatly
in power and intellect by its Demo-
cratic recruits. They We're the back
bone of Lincoln's Cabinet. They
may prove to be equally important
in Taft's.
There is nothing ambiguous in Mr..
MacVeaghs new majority and con-
troll" 1t means of course coalition
between. the liberal and progressive
Republicans and such Democrats as
are loyal to their professions. There
may not be enought of these to Gre
ate at once new majority and con-
troll" but they are numerous enough
even now to prevent the passage of
a monopolistic tariff bill over the
Presidential veto, and that, beyond
question, is the interesting prospect
which the Secretary's speech fore
shadowed
The Democratic party went to
pieces in 1860 on the issue of an
inhuman plutocratic slavery system
1t is the glory of the American peo-
pie that, strong as is their attach
ment to party, no political organiza-
ton has yet been able perpetually to
maintain. solid ranks in support of
vested wrong. Is the liberal and pro-
gressive element of the Republican
party, with the President at its
head, about to separate from the
wing that is welded to the Unsuitable
plutocracy of the tariff?

reaper, who saw him so into the
water, jumped after him and brought
him safe to shore. The fellow making
a second attempt, the reaper again

watched his opportunity and hanged
himself behind the barn door. The
reaper, who saw him, never offered
to interfere or cut him down. When
