A Timely Warming,

Tariff reform will not be settled
until it is honestly and fairly settled
in the interest and to the benefit of
patient and long suffering people.
The trusts and combinations-the COM
munism of pelf-whose Vaccinations
have prevented us from reaching the
successive deserved, should not be for
gotten nor forgiven"
These words, written by Grover
Cleveland in a letter to Mr.. Catch
ings of Mississippi, just after he saw
the mutilated Wilson bill become a
law on Aug. 2S. 1894, read almost as
if they were penned for use in May,
1909.
Senate Boss Aldrich and the other
members of the upper house now en-
gagged in framing a tariff bill may well
afford to take a day off and devote it
to the reading of this timely warning
Every thought expressed in the quoted
paragraph applies to the situation as
| it exists today.
AS Cleveland gave warning, tariff
reform will not be settled until it is
honestly and fairly settled" If Aid
rich and his gang do not revise the
Dingley tariff that way-"honestly and
fairly''-it will not have been settled
at all
In other words, if the tariff isn't
revised honestly and fairly, in the
interest and to the benefit of a patient
and long suffering people," it will
have to be done over again. The vot
ers will send men to congress who will
do it better

rows of neat little ''tykes. with pol

been carefully coached by the teacher
in the difficult art of evading the pit

boy they were ready.

mitted the dreadful parsonage.

"ClotheSr' said Tommy Jones.
Right" said the inspector.

"Right!'' said the inspector.
Then the replies came to sudden
stop.
Now. then, you bright boys. hurry
up said his majesty. But the dread
full silence was unbroken. well, now
boys, what is the skin of q COW used

advance from the spokesman of the
delegation just what was to be said N
order that he might make fitting re-
ply. More frequently, however, it was
Mr.. Devine to whom Mr.. Blaine in
trusted this duty. Mr.. Devine has told
me that there was no public man who
was as keenly alive 20 the importance
to be attached to the form in which a
new story was first presented in q
publication.
ION the morning of the day that the
delegation headed by Dr. Burchard
called on Mr. Blaine, Mr.. Devine was
obliged to go to Brooklyn to attend
the funeral of his wife's father. At
ter the funeral in returning to New
York to join Mr.. Blaine at the Fifth
|avenue hotel, Mr. Devine saw an ac-
count in the afternoon newspapers Of
Mr. Burchard's Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion speech and Mr.. Blaine's re-
ply to it. and realized instantly that
Mr.. Blaine had made fatal error. Up
on arriving at the hotel Mr.. Devine
sought Mr. Blaine and asked him about
the speech, showing him the news
paper account I do not know thing
about it. said Mr.. Blaine. Did he
/ (Burchard) say that?" Mr.. Blaine told
Mr.. Devine of how he had gone ouu un
the landing of the stairway to see the
delegation of ministers headed by DR..
Burchard. The latter, so Mr.. Blaine
told Mr.. Devine, read his speech in a
sings voice and Mr.. Blaine, who
was thinking of what he should say in
reply did not pay particular attention
"o it. Mr. Blaine said also that he had
been so admirably looked after up lG
that time by Mr.. Devine that it never
ACQUIRED to him that he was likely &c
make a fatal error in agreeing to what
DR.. Burchard had to say, and he had
never once heard the fatal expression
of DR.. Burchard until Mr. Devine called
| his attention to it in the newspapers
"'Of course, Mr.. Devine,' said Mr.
Blaine. we know what l would have
said had that been called to my at
ltention'
1T was Mr.. Devine's habit in tbs
campaign to pay strict attention tC
whatever was said by the spokesman
of any political delegation that called
on Mr. Blaine, and if Mr. Blaine hat
not been informed in advance of what
was to be said by the spokesman, Mr.
Devine would give him a short synoD
sis of it before Mr.. Blaine began hi:
response. Mr. Blaine also insisted tina
if Mr.. Devine had been with him wher
DR.. Burchard spoke of Rum. Roman
ism and Rebellion Mr.. Deyine woult
have called Mr. Blaine's attention 4
this phrase and would have enable,
Mr. Blaine to repudiate the sentiments
Expressed and thus, as Mr. Blaine be

reporter who had a part in many in

day afternoon of apoplexy at his home,
500 First street, Brooklyn, in his 9Th
year. He was stricken while at the
breakfast table on Sunday. Some in
teresting inside history connected
with James G. Blaine's fatal error IN
the character of his repose to Rev. Dr..
Burchards Rum, Romanism and Re-

recorded experiences, and this was tod
Tuesday night in Washington by Fred
Ireland. one of the official reporters of
debates in the house of representa-
tives, who was associated with Mr..
DeVlne for many years in reporting the
proceedings of the house.
Mr.. Ireland said that Mr. Devine
had intrusted to him with the under
standing that it would not be printed
until Mr.. Devine's death, manuscript
account of his. intimate knowledge of
the Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
episode. Mr.. Ireland was unable to
lay his hands on the manuscript Tues.
day night, but he had read it over 80
many times. he said, that he was
thoroughly familiar with Mr.. Devine'. :;
narrative.
Mr.. Blaine" said Mr.. Ireland. al.
ways attributed his defeat for the pres.
ldency to DR.. Burchard's unfortunate
speech and Mr.. Blaine's reply to If.
According to Mr.. Devine's story as
contained in the manuscript in my pos
session and told to me orally by Mr..
Devlne Mr.. Blaine declared to Mr.. De.

by Mr.. Blaine wouldn't have ever oc.
