Inaugural Decorations.

The time has come when the people of
Washington are beginning to decorate
their places of business and residences Tor
the inauguration, and it is we'll to bear
in mind the requests and advice OF the
inaugural committee on street decorations
to insure the greatest possible effect. The
committee has asked that in the treat
ment of fiat walls green and white bunt-
ing be used. those colors being best
suited for background and producing a
brilliant and at the same time not gaudy
effect 1t is urged that the national
colors should not he placed fiat on the
walls, and that the flag itself should not
be draped or festooned, but hang straight
from the staff, as is the natural position
of the banner. The mixture of the ma
tional colors with other hues on the fiat
walls produces a garish and often IN
artistic effect, while the display of the
flag itself, one of the most significant
decorative materials. should be combined
with the wall draperies with view to
its best appearance.
Deviations from the committees recon-
mendations may cause some of the build
ings to stand out conspicuously from the
others. but will detract rather than add
to the general appearance of the block.
Already some buildings are thus hung
with the old-style conventional half
rosettes of red, white and blue stuff, and
it is plain to see that they will not be
as attractive in appearance as the build
ings that have been treated in accordance
with the general PLAN
1t is especially desirable that house
holders and business men use only rain
proof materials. There can be no guar
antee against moisture on the 4th, and
if the cheap printed stuffs are used
Washington will present a deplorable APP
pearance in case of a wet day. The bet
ter goods cost only a little more and
will last through many days of rain and
shine, leaving the building at the end
of the period as fresh and attractive as
it was at first In this matter, as in all
others affecting the handling of the in
auguration, the people of Washington
should work in harmony and in ac-
cordahce with a prearranged plan. The
committees in charge Of the various de-
tails are proceeding along practical lines,
and their recommendations are based upon
experience.

Taft and the Tariff.

Judge Taft is beginning his experience
with interpretation. and he may expect
a good deal of it. Everything he says
now is of interest. and some OF IL Is GER
tain TO find its way around in a twisted
form.
The other day at Indianapolis Mr..
Van t'leave speaking to the tariff con-
yention then in session, advocated the
anpointment of tariff commission, with
large powers to investigate tariff duties
and make such changes from time to
time as it thought best for the country
His proposition was that Congress could
not be relied upon to deal with the sub
iert inteilisently: that it lacked both in
formation and practical ability. And he
emphasized his remarks by declaring that
the President-elect was in sympathy With
the views he was presenting.
Without intending it probably. Mr.. Van
C'leave conveyed wrong impression.
Judge Taft was not in sympathy with
the sneakers attack on Congress. or with
the proposition that the tariff be handed
over to a commission of so-called experts
for revision He had gone no further
than to express the opinion that Congress
should have the fullest light on the sub
ject, and that liberal provision should be
made for assisting Congress in the col
lection of statistics. He we'll understood
that Congress had no power to surrender
its control over the tariff, and would not
do so if it could.
Now a report is abroad that Judge Iaft
attributes whatever business depression
there may be to the Dingley schedules
and TO the agitation for their revision
standpatter rolled into one. Down with
the Dingley law, and yet what a fright
full penalty we are paying in preparing
TO get rid of it.
Republican criticism of the Dngley law
relates only to its extraordinary success.
1t more than fulfilled the calculations and
expectations of its friends. and soon pro-
duced a situation calling for revision.
This was true, as Mr.. Mckinley pointed
out at Buffalo. eight years ago. And
every year since has increased the neces-
sity of revision.
AS for the effect on business of the agi-
tation for revision. the matter has been
greatly exaggerated Business has not
felt the shiver this time that it did for
year preceding the tariff revision of 1894.
Then the coming legislation was to be
shaped by men who protested hatred of
protection and a purpose to put an end
to it. The democratic stumpers in the
campaign of 1892 had danced linguistic
jigs all over protection Today revision is
in the hands of the champions of protec-
ton. That policy is to be kept in mind
in whatever is done. Wherever protection
is necessary and working good to the pub
lie welfare it is to be retained: but wher-
ever unnecessary, as the result of long
enjoyment and the growth Of business. it
is to be modified or ended, as the public
welfare demands.
1t is too late for anybody to play tricks
with this question. Judge Taft's position
is we'll known, and the duty of Congress
was so emphatically laid down at the
polls last November that disregard of
the instructions then issued would cost the
republicans the next House of Repre-
sentatives.

day when a blow should be struck. The
offense is almost criminal but cannot be
punished as such. But the guilty men

abroad as they already have been at

source of embarrassment.

March 4.
From the Wilmington tDel.l News.

There is never any certainty regard
ing March weather, and in spite of the
agitation of the question of shifting the
day of Inaugural ton so as to secure ii
better chance for good weather the
movement never gets beyond the point
of being suggested. There have been
Inauguration days when the weather was
of the most desirable character and
there have been Inauguration days when
death Iurked in the cold winds, the cut
ting rain or the falling snow. The odds
are all in favor of IL bad day on March
4, and those who flock to the National
capital on the occasion of an Inaugural
ton are always taking chances.

Mr. Elihu Root, the new leader of the

GIRLS START TO GRAVE
LAST NEW YEARS DRINK
School Lass Crowded Whole Gamut
of Dissipation Into Next
Seven Months.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 12.-On last
New Years eve Helen Chambers,
daughter of a respected family of
Aurora, ILL.,, a girl not yet Is years
old and still a student in the High
School, with a girl companion went
to Chicago. There in a cafe of a
certain type she took her first
drink. After a lapse of even months
sha died at the General hospital
this morning of a reaction follow
ing an operation. Her system had
been too weakened by dissipation to
O from the shock.
Within seven months Helen Cham
bers, the simple Aurora girl, crowd
ed events into he life that would
have been good measure for is many
years From the simple drinks that
she INDUCED on her first night,
which marked the passing of the old
year, she went in for stronger ones,
For two weeks prior to being
taken to the general hospital she
virtually lived on absinthe, and at
the last she began using morphine,
A message to her mother still liv-
ing in Aurora, received no response,
and the girl, with her life slowly
ebbing out, dozed restlessly through
weary and tortuous minutes until
the end came,
After taking her first drink in the
Chicago cafe Helen decided to run
away from home and came to Kan
sas City, about April l., and in a
short time married. She went to
Dallas with her husband, but after
a quarrel they separated. After
making UP they returned here, but
have since had frequent spats, and
she finally went back to her life OF

MASON SHOULD
AROUND S.
RECENT VISITOR WRITES FROM
PROPERTY THAT TONNAGE
BLOCKED OUT WARRANTS
THAT PRICE-MARKET BOOM.

The market continued doing
things yesterday. Predictions of
the first part of the week that
Wednesday or Thursday would wit
ness the end of the boom inaugural
ed with the passing of the tariff
bill and that a period of reaction
would follow, fell fiat. From all
that showed on the surface yester-
day, the uplift has only commenced.
The copper stocks and the metal
enjoyed a strong day. Both were
in the public eye to greater extent
than in months and both had up
ward trend. Nevada Consolidated
led the locals in advance. Inspira-
tertained concerning it and advanced
handsomely. The Cole-Ryan is
sues, including Giroux, all made adj
rance.
Mason Valley and Ely Central
were alone among the locals in fail
ure to show advance. Mason Val
ley will unquestionably make up for
its recent backwardness a little later
along. A recent visitor to the prop
erty writes that it Is looking fine and
that a conservative estimate of the
ore in sight warrants that on a 10
cent metal market the stock should
be selling at the present time at
IS oil better. Such situation at the
property determines that the stock
will not stand still much longer
Butte Ely continues to be held
very close around $3.50. Reports
from Butte state that practically
lone of the stock is being turned
loose at this figure, although it
represents a good profit to most of
the holders.
Eastern advices are very optimistic
in regard to the future. The public
is reported coming into the trading
stronger every day and activity
picking up with much rapidity. Re-
cent bear movements have been
promptly quashed by large buying
orders thrown on the market with
out hesitation at every decline.
