protection against shark tooth spears.
A peculiar native weapon is a ring set
with sharks teeth, Two water bottles

AN EXPOSED INSTANCE
OF TARIFF ExToRTIoN.

Not long ago there arose cry
for tariff on coffee-an import
duty of cents a pound. And now
II leaks out that this cry, coming as
suggestion from the ways and
means committee OF Congress, or
iginated with syndicate in close
touch with J. Pierpont Morgan,
which controls enough coffee to sup
ply the American market for two
years. The purpose was to land
their supply just before the proposed
duty should take effect, and then
pocket the cents or more pound
which the imposition of that duty
upon competing coffee would enable
the syndicate to extort from Ameri-
can consumers. Some such scheme
turks behind the whole tariff system.

tected" people without their know

LIBELING THE GOVERNMENT

President Roosevelt has caused
to be commenced proceedings, pre-.
sumably initiatory to action against
the New York World, the New
York Sun and the Indianapolis
News for alleged libel of the Gov.
eminent, for certain publications
charging graft and fraud in con-
nection with the purchase of the
old French Panama Canal Com
pany's property or rights, in which
American spectators profited by
the transaction.
The charge in effect made by the
World and reiterated by the other
papers is that the Government paid
$40, 000,0 600 for the property, the
negotiations having been engineered
by William Nelson Cromwell, rep
resenting a speculative syndicate
known as the American Panama
Canal Company, of which only
S35, 900. 900 was paid to the old
French company and the other
$4,000, 900 distributed among
American spectators. President
Roosevelt took umbrage at these
publications and sent to Congress
one of his characteristic messages,
declaring the publications libelous,
denying that there was any syndi-
cate, declaring that the Govern
ment did not pay a single cent to

WANTS MORE TAXES.

One of the problems which the
present Legislature will have to deal
with Is the raising of revenue to
carry on the State government, for
the present revenue Is inadequate
for the proper maintenance of its
public institutions and other neces-
sary expenses Pennington Times
1t seems never to occur to cap
italist mind to reduce unnecessary
expenses. Instead they cry for
more taxes from the people. At
this very time there are no less than
three hundred useless clerks ut JEFF
ferson City performing no service
just being rewarded at public expense
for political roofing done last fall.
Ex-Lieut.-Gov. Brockmeyer once
told me that during the Legislative
session of 1872, when he presided
over the senate, three clerks did the
work of both houses. Now they
nave about four hundred. Then
there are the numerous "boards"
and commissions" created by the
Legislature that serve no really use
full purpose-except as pegs to hang
political favorites on at big pay.
At least one hundred thousand
dollars annually could be saved to
taxpayers II the public printing
graft that Is so prevalent all over
the state were abolished. The pres
ent system of printing and publish
ing the election ballots Is almost n
clear waste, as is also the publishing
of proposed constitutional amend
ments. AS to the amendments, the
secretary of state could have them
printed and mailed to every voter In
the state for what 1t costs topublish
them In the cities alone.
AS population increase the expense
Of government, per capita, should
decrease. But 1t does not. The
more people we have, the more there
are who want to be taken care Of. 1"
There are two kind of public charges.
One kind are called paupers and cost
the people about FIVE dollars per

Watertown, n. y, Jan. 1.-THE
conduct of members of the Twenty
fourth (negro) Infantry during the
last few weeks, eliminating on Sat
urday night in the holding up of two
young women in the streets of Sack
ct Harbor, and the entrance to the
Eveleigh House, of that village,
last night by negro soldier with
three white women, who drove Pro-
prietor Frank Widener out at the
point of revolver, has aroused the
public to point of indignation that
promises to be felt in the War De-
partment.
Drunkenness on the streets,
"Peeping Toms" and housebreaking,
which are ascriDed to men of the
negro regiment, have been endured
by the people without much com
plant.
But since Saturday night, when
Miss Lille Cook and Miss Julia
Mckee, IA teacher in the public
schools of this city, and a resident
of Sacket Harbor, were attacked up
on the streets of that village, the
situation has become serious.

FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT.
Elder Evidently Meant There Should
Be No Misunderstanding.

Last summer the congregation OF n

was greatly disturbed and mystified by
the appearance in its midst of an Eng.
fish lady who made use OF an ear trum.
pet during the sermon-such an In.
strument being entirely unknown In
those simple parts.
There was much discussion OF the
matter. and II was finally decided that
one Of the elders-who had great To-
cal reputation as man Of parts
should be deputed to settle the ques.
tion.
On the next Sabbath the uncon.
scious offender again made her ap-
pearance and again produced the trum.
pet. whereupon the chosen elder rose
from his seat and marched down the
aisle to where the old lady sat, and.
entreating her with an appraised finger.

A FAME WHICH HISTORY

The echoes Of the campaign are
quite monotonous. Some of them
are simply sarcasms, witticisms and
jeering against Mr.. Bryan. One
thing is certain: Since Henry Clay
no other personality among defeated
candidates for the presidency has
accomplished as much as William
Jennings Bryan. One of the two
great parties has three times nomi-
mated him. When they skipped him
they nominated distinguished and
accomplished lawyer, then chief
justice Of the court of appeals of the
state of New York, the highest court
In the country except the supreme
court of the United States, who did
not do as well as Bryan. As per-
sonality, Bryan Is loved by more
people today than any other man in
the country. The people that com
PEELED his nomination three times
did so because they liked him. He
Is an orator of high but not the high

classes. However, as a platform
orator he has no superior, If an
equal, in this country.

land, Joseph II. Choate was our
minister to that almost finical coun-

he was quite equal to meeting the

in Great Britain that could come in
to competition with either Of these
two men, and that was Lord Rose
