TARIFF ON PATENT LEATHER.
Committee of Manufacturers Want L

arrived here today to protest to Con-
gress at the protection afforded patent
leather by the Payne tariff bill. A du-
ty of 20 per cent. is placed on patent
leather in this bill, but the manufac-
turers claim that the business is not
profitable unless there is a duty of al
least 80 per cent. The committee will
appear before the Senate finance com.
mittee and argue for the increase.

UP AGAINST 1T.

Governor Hughes is up against the
party bosses again. By introducing
and championing a plan for direct ac-
ton by the voters, he has precipitated
the battle of his life. Every party
boss from Tim Woodruff down de-
nounces him, for direct nominations
are things they hate and abhor. They
say they are "socialistic" and ''un-
American" but really they may not
know as much as they think they do.
They may be mistaken, but they are
not honestly mistaken, for there is not
an honest hair n the head of a New
York boss.
The Hughes plan is adapted to the
backward and peculiar political condi-
ton of New York. 1t aims to pre-
serve party organization. Presiden-
tial electors and United States Sen
ators are excluded from the plan. It's
features are summarized as follows:
Designation of candidates for nomi-
nation by party committees instead of
the present convention system.
"All candidates for party committees
are to DE- nominated by petition only,
signed by a specific number of en-
rolled voters, and are to be elected an
nually.
THE basis of representation Of each
committeeman is made proportionate
to the vor.. cast in his district for the
candidate of his party for governor at
tba nracndinp election
1.-The state committee may be elect
ed from Congress, senate, or assembly
districts, as the parties may for them
selves determine.
There is to be an official primary
ballot, with the names of all the candi-
fee and numbered conseeutively, the
party candidates having Preferential
position.
"All primaries are to be held on the
same day, and there is to be general
enrolment throughout the state.
Party platforms are to be framed
by party council, to consist of the
members of the state committee and
the candidates nominated for state Of
fees.
Provision is made for severe pun
ishment for attempted corruption at
the primaries, and the lavish expendi-
ture of money is restrained by provi-
sions limiting and defining the pur-
poses for which money may be ex-
pended"
If the bosses, including Speaker
Wadsworth and all the county bosses
defeat this bill, Governor Hughes will
take an appeal to the people, and in
the end be will score another great
victory. He will return to the people
political power in the very citadel OF
clique rule. The boss-ridden state is
to be turned over to the voters, care
less as many of them are, and ignor-
ant and even corrupt. It is a state
that cannot be fully reformed in &
day.

and yet the people of Kansas grow rich, while the people of Alabama remain poor. Trade is booming in one state and is stagnant in the other.
 Many of the people of Alabama are op- posed to progress; they resist innovations; they refuse to take advantage of oppor- tunities that are offered them; they will not permit immigration; they prefer to remain as they are, and, of course, they have a perfect right to feel and act that way

 LACK ENTERPRISE Curtis CaStigateS State for Its
 LasSitude QUOTES LETTER FROM BABE Curtis Says Alabama Lays Trouble To War But Kansas Suffered
 More from the War Than Did Alabama.
QUOTES LETTER FROM BABE

Chicago May Especial )--William E. Curtis sends the following to the Chicago Record Herald from Washing ton:
 have received d large number of letters and newspaper comments, both friendly and unfriendly, both favorable and unfavorable, upon what has been published in these columns recently concerning the lack of enterprise among the southern people, particularly in Ala bama and Louisiana. Nearly every one of the writers admits that the citizens of those states have failed to utilize their great natural advantages and to develop their great material resources, and in almost every case this neglect is attributed to the demoralizing effects of the late civil war. Although more than 40 years have passed and a new generation born since Lees surrender, is in control of the business in the south. the people of that section have become so accustomed to explaining their lack of public spirit on that ground that they do not consider any other excuse necessary.
 A curious instance of this occurred during visit to a fine old plantation, where the stately colonial mansion was fin a sad condition of decay, where the stables and other outhouses had par tially fallen from their foundations and some of them were roofless, the fences were down, the shrubbery untrimmed and the roads in a horrible condition. The gentleman who accompanied me eX- piained that the southern people were impovished by the civil war; they had oot been able to recover from the dep relations committed by the Yankee Invaders. and that the effects of the decentralization of labor, industry and commerce could still be seen in every part of the south. And he still ad-

 tion the diocese of Alabama shall have taken her place In the front ranks of mission interest, where she belongs. General Missionary. I On the 14th day of September I re- ceived the resignation of the Rev. ". i N. Claybrook as general missionary of l the diocese and with the keenest pain I accepted the same. MT. Claybrook was peculiarly fitted for the work of the general mission field, and could he have continued so engaged for a long CT period. he would have demonstrated the wisdom of the appointment of such an officer Through the offerings of the bishops Church guild, I have been enabled to follow up the work MT. Claybrook began, and will so continue to do until his place is filled. The most difficult vacancy to man is that of gen. eral missionary of the diocese.
 Two questions of serious interest will engage your deliberations:
 1. The mission work of the diocese. I believe it will not be necessary for me to do more than to mention this subject. As far as I can see the mind of the diocese is fully aroused to the opportunity presented before the church in her mission field; and I be- lieve the heart of the diocese is ready to make generous respone. Between this and Thursday night let us confer on the subject of diocesan missions. It would take but little concerted action to bring your pledges this year up to 10000.
 2. At the last meeting of the council you appointed committee to take into consideration the subject of the diyis- ion of the diocese of Alabama. In re- gard to this have three statements to make.
 CD In your consideration of the sub ject you are privileged to exclude the interests of your present bishop, so far as the question of labor is involved. Since I have been in your midst I have made physical endurance the limit of the amount of work done. Should the council in its wisdom request the bishops consent to a division, the limit of my work in the portion of the field to be chosen will still be my power of physical endurance.
 {2) I do not anticipate that we will have any serious trouble in determining the line of division. I believe each portion of the diocese will enter into a consideration of this question in the spirit of giving as well as taking.
 3. In my judgment the whole matter is involved in the question of support Should division take place, is the church strong enough in each part to support itself? This question will be taken up, and I trust considered by you in a business-like manner. Night Session.
