THIS IS WRONG.

Under the Payne Aldrich law, those
most able to pay tariff tax get off
the lightest. Your wife or daughter
who buys wooden or worsted cloth
for a dress pays $40 for pattern that
cost 81 abroad, or a tariff tax of 1876
per cent, while the rich mans wife
or daughter is only required to pay a
tariff tax of so per cent. on the i'm
ported silk dress she buys. The steel
buttons on the workingman's trousers
carry duty of 1868 per cent. while
milady's ivory buttons pay but GAO
per cent. The cheapest blankets, found
In the homes of the laborer, carry Il
tax Of 1o7 per cent. while the fine
blankets used on the beds of the cap
tains Of finance only pay II per cent.
High priced wooden carpets used by
the wealthy carry a tariff tax Of but
so per cent, while the carpets used for
mats. rugs, ETC., which are found in
the homes Of the common people, are
taxed 122.sS per cent.

per dozen are taxed 62 per cent while

THE "No.PoPERY" OATH.

At the close of the Revolution of
1888 IN England the crown was set
tied on William and Mary. In order
to keep 1t in the power of the Pro-
testants there was incorporated in the
Bill of Rights, which was enacted into
law early in the reign of William and
Mary, an oath of accession popularly
known as the NO Popery Oath" This
is perhaps the most offensive DECLARE
ton that has ever been imposed on
any sovereign in the world. It reads
as follows:
"1,............do solemnly and sim

The Comic Supplement.

Now. why do careful people object
to the comic supplement? asks the
Boston Pilot. First of all because 1t
vitiates the artistic taste. Its color
ing is of the crudest, and its types of
the lowest, and its ideas cheap. This
sense of artistic beauty is implanted
in the mind in childhood. What, then,
must be the utter stagnation of the
sense of the beautiful in a mind whose

Prof. Maria Sanford formerly of

The Grand Army of the Republic, as

matter, however, might easily be rem
edied through education. Not so the
moral void that often finds its origin
in these supplements. There is a GER
tain species of degeneracy in children
which these smart journals try to
make out as "smartness." 1t is an ex-
preston, in fact, of that lack of re-
spect for age and authority, irrever-
ence for traditions and institutions,
sacred. Many another cause of moral
depravity is helped and strengthened
by the impressions gained from these
journals.

WORLD-P

There perhaps never was a time
when the hope Of world peace was so
near to emerging from the land of
mental phantoms to happy reality as
it is today. The Gospel of peace is
being preached in all civilized coun-
tries. Men in high stations are pro-
claiming it and the cry for it's realizu-
ton is increasing in volume day by
day. The contagion is in the atmos-
phere and you must inhale the germs
wherever YOU go.
Not long since If a nation expressed
itself in favor of world peace it might
be construed as sign of that ma
TONS unprcparedness for war; But
that period is past. All the great
powers are spending appalling sums
each year in increa sing and support
ing their armies and navies. In our
own country the average annual ex-
penditurc for war during the past
eight years of peace has been one hun
dred and eighty-fve million dollars.
The amount of good that might be de-
rived from expanding this money In
preventing tuberculosis is hardly to be
estimated, yet the countries have gone
ON preparing for war, or, perhaps it
might he truer to say. In providing
such means of defense as to scare
each other into peace. The drain Of
this armed peace on the treasures of
the United States, England, Germany
and France is enough to make wise
statesmen seek a remedy for this
! waste of national wealth.
All the countries are anxious for
peace. the only difficulty seems to be
in determining which is to lead the
way. No country can be expected to
disarm until the leading powers es-
tabish and agree to abide by the de-
cisons of a tribunal before which in
ternational disputes will be settled.
Such court would be similar to our
common courts of justice and after
all this method Of procedure would
, not be extraordinary for the nations
would only be following the means of
settling differences which they by leg
islation compel their citizens to fol-
low.
| War Is not necessary 1t Is saw
age custom which has come down to
us from uncivilized people. Its aboli
ton needs only tribunal which can
command international recognition,
This can be accomplished by the mu-
tual efforts of the world powers.
The tremendous sums that are
spent yearly for the construction and
maintenance Of monstrous engines of
war purely through national rivalry is
absurd. There is saner and less
costly means Of promoting world
peace. Let the nations throw off thu
mask of deception and cease to bluff.
Let them discuss the matter openly
and unreservedly and hasten the era
of peace that comes not from fear of
armament but rather from q brother
~ regard for the rights and weak
nesses of our fellow men.
Hasten the time when the ingenuity
OF men will cease to be directed to-
ward building dreadnoughts of de-

OUR GRAFT EXPOSURES.

At the present time the Illinois leg
islature is attracting the attention of
the press by the exposure of the
jackpot methods which have been
employed in the election of members
of that body. Such. exposures of
graft in elections are; becoming so
common. that they no longer have a
shocking effect. The statement made
by a Pennsylvania, bride distributor
that every man has his price" does
not seem to be wholly a fiction of the
methods.
What is the matter with our poll
ticians: Have they no sense of sin ?
And if their conscience is callused and
begrimed have they no sense of shame,
no regard for the welfare of their
families to keep them from inscrib-
ing their names on that blacklist of
relegated statesmen whose sense of
duty has been warped by the pressure
of paltry brides? Are they slaves blind
to everything but the glitter Of tempt
ing gold? Are they towards. weak
and puny. who lack the manhood to
front their duties squarely and hold
in highest honor their pledges to the
people? When will they awaken from
their wild dreams of averice to a real
ization of the beauty, the power and
the reward Of faithful service?
The statement has been made by an
ex-senator that fifty per cent of the
seats in the United States Senate have
been practically purchased. Assum-
ing that this is an exaggeration it
large percentage of the men who
have pledged themselves to serve the
people lack all sense of moral right
eousness. They do not hesitate to ac-
cept bribes even when the danger of
having their political careers ruined
thereby is imminent.
AS one reads of the Illinois expos
ures, of the Pittsburg brides, of con-
fessons by the score of political rot
tenness in Albany. Chicago and San
Francisco. he must ask, If he is at
all cynical, whittier are we drifting ?
Is the nation on the verge of decay
or are these Wholesale revelations
rather a sign that the torch of a
morally awakening people is being
flashed into the dark corners from
which light was excluded before?
We hope that the latter is the case.
There is good reason to believe that
it is. Machine politics have always
required more or less bride lubrica-
ton to keep the parts moving with
out friction. The tendency at pres
ent is to overthrow bossism, to ami
hilate party lines, to elect men on
their merits and not because they be-
long to this or that political party.
Judicious voting which places a re-
ward on honest craftsmanship should
have the effect of developing high
