"Don't make any bets or promises
that you will not shave or have your
hair cut until hides go on the free list

Rip Van Wrinkle" This Was the ad-
vice given today by a prominent seua-
tor to one of his Newspaper friends, and
it voiced the feeling Of confidence which
exists among the western republicans on
the whole question of free raw materials,
they are perfectly willing to make con-
cessions 10 the rates but they stand pat
against the proposition to remove sill
Iuties from hides, coal, iron ore and
lumber. In he opinion of senators who
nave talked with the president in the
last day or two there is no possible
ground for the revival of the talk that
he might veto a bill which did not in-
clude free hides and iron ore, and
reduced rates on coal and lumber.
The president himself complains to his
callers that his position has been misin-
terpreted and yesterday he called the at
tention of some OF bis callers specifically
10 the language of the statement issued
by him few days ago in which he
plainly says that he is not committed to
the policy of free raw materials although
he is committed to downward revision OF
tie tariff. Despite this, efforts have been
made to represent the president IS in
sisting upon free raw materials and
threatening to veto the bill If he does
not get them. What the president wants

regard TO the protective policy of
his party. lie has satisfied himself
from other sources than MIR. Aldrch
and Mr. Payne as to the amount of con-
cessions which be can secure and it can
be stated positively that he not only will
sign the bill but feels that he can con-
graduate the country on its real down-
ward revision character. With the duty
on hides cut to y per cent and the rates
on leather and bOOls and shoes reduced
materially from existing law; with coal
reduced from 67 cents to 40 or 45 cents
per ton; with lumbar reduced from 81

HOW ABOUT JUDGE MANN AND
BRYAN?

Judge Mann has denied three times
since the opening of the campaign for
the democratic nomination to The gov
ernorship thst he voted the readuster
ticket while Malone was in power in
Virginia Nov, documentary evidence
in tho form OF letters from Mann to
Malone show that the judge did act
with the rsadjusters.
Judge Mann declares that he sup
ported William Jennings Bryan in the
campaign of 1896. He has submitted
no documentary evidence to that effect.
There is not line 10 existence, so far as
we know, which would support Judge
ManD's claim to party regularity In the
first Bryan campaign.
If Judge Mann was able to keep secret
for thirty years the fact that he had
been a resdJuster 1t would not be re-
markable that he has been able to keep
secret for thirteen years the fact that he
vote against Brysn 10 1896.
Judge Mann was counsel for the Nor
folk & Western Railway in 1896. This
great corporation bent every effort to
prevent Mr.. Bryan carrying Virginia.
