There was a great rush OF New
FORK bound vessels to reach that aity
before midnight last Friday when tae
new tarin law went into effect I'm
portere .efstforeign made goods had
foods amounting to hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars in value which they
wished to get into the custom house,
before the new rates were exacted
The collector Of the port would not

closing hour of 4:sO p m. so that goods
on vessels in port. but kept cut Of
the custom house win cost great
deal more and cause the original pur-
chasers considerable loss. Il the
Eayne-Aldrich law lowers the rate Of
duty. why were these merchants SO
anxious to get their goods before ths
new rates were collectable. and why
did the custom house officials act so
arbitrarily and refuse American citi-
gems the opportunity to save them
selves from loss? The answer Is plain
the merchants wanted the benefit of
the rate OF tariff in operation at the
time they bought aud the custom
house officials wanted to make for the
United States Treasury the several

THE POLITICIAN.

In a recent magazine article Mr.
Bryan says his mother taught him to
recite pieces when he was a boy
which we suppose gave him the great
gift of public speaking that he I'M
doubtedly possesses. He also said that
"polItica! success may be described as
the conjunction Of preparation and OPP
portunity." But he added something
mere significant when he said: When
I saw that the money question was
likely to be the issue l purchased
books and studied the subject. SO that
1 was ready when 1t became the para
mount issue"
That is Mr.. Bryan exactly: and that
also describes the politicians of lesser
note To find out what is going to be
the paramount issue" and at once be-
coms its active supporter and adyo-
cate. 1t matters little whether the
Issue is sound or unsOund. right or
wrong. hurtful or helpful Just so 1t is,
or promises to be. popular with the
people Get money; honestly If YOU
can. but get money" is in substance

editorial which has appeared SO far.
1t Is the height of the art of writing to
say much In few words. Mr.. Coleman
in one paragraph discusses both COM
pulsory education and constitutional
prohibition. Of these two questions he
says succinctly. I'VE believe firmly in
education and prohibition but we do
not believe in compulsory education
under present conditions nor in con-
stitutional prohibition. We are not
yet convinced that 1t is democratic or
the part of true wisdom for the Legis-
