The Dreamer.

My Uncle Jim. he's got hisself a seven
acre patch.
The house has lost its chimly an there
amt no door to latch.
But Uncle Jim he says that patience is
the thing that wins,
An so he's sittin' down to wait until
the luck begins.
He says that Henry Hudson could have
made a fortune great
For some one if he'd seen the worth Of
New York real estate.
His relatives would now be Twin in the
highest style
If Henryd had the foresigh to invest an
wait awhile,
Old Christopher Columbus should have
managed his affairs
In such a manner as to leave vast acres
to his heirs.
dlscoverin' new spots.
Meier thought Of subdividin EN- an
seliin' 'em as lots.
So Uncle Jim he spends his time a-sittin'
in the shade.
He doesn't worry even if the taxes aren't
paid.
Some day they'll have his picture framed
i'm an ancestral hall.
So what's the use of workin' now, when
profits is so small?

that time. He may and he may not ad-
dress the first session of the Sixty
second Congress on the tariff question.
Something depends on the November ver-
dict. If democratic House is chosen,
and the reverse of the republican party
is attributed TO the Payne law, the
tariff will come before the next Congress
whether the President presents it or not.
The voters will have spoken, and regard
less of the fact that the House will face
one way and the Senate and the Presi-
dent the other. an attempt at tariff revi-
sion must be made.
ton it will be based in a measure on the
tariff boards figures. What. then, will
the democratic House do? The demo-
cratic members of the present House OPP
posed the appropriation for the tariff
board, charging that it was a standpat-
ters trick, and not intended to assist in
a thorough and sincere revision of the
schedules. Will the democrats if in the
ma jority in the next House insist upon
figures gathered under their own aus
pices? They will have years time in
government appropriation will be avail
able for their agencies.
The tariff continues to be not only an
important but very complicated prob
lem, and before the next national plat
forms are written and the presidential
nominations made we shall see both
parties maneuvering for every advantage
possible.

The Tariff Boards Work.

Prof. Emery, chairman OF the tariff
hoard provided for at the recent session
Of Congress. corrects an erroneous report
about. the progress Of the boards work.
so far from being completed. it is scarce
" begun. He and his colleagues have
been giving attention TO the cost of pro-
duction in Europe, but have only scratch
ed the surface Of their task there. He
does not attempt TO fix the time when
they may submit Lgures OF a compre-
hensive and conclusive character to the
President.
The full size of the boards task is
enormous. and the part relating to
foreign production will be attended with
many difIiculties. II Is not a mere mat
ter Of applying for statistics already
gathered, and in the hands of persons
willing to surrender them. FOREIGN
manufacturers. ar also our own manu-
facturers. have many secrets concerning
their business which they guard very
carefully. Even, therefore. after the
tariff board has exerted itself TO the
utmost some important facts bearing
upon what the board desires to know will
remain undiscovered.
The Presidents action will depend upon
the boards. He may not receive even

Madriz Follows Zelaya.

When Jose Madriz was inaugurated
President of Nicaragua on the 2lst of
December last he said in his speech OF
acceptance. after taking sthe oath OF
office: MY pains shall be TO make Mica
ragua a united family and to maintain
friendly relations with foreign nations.
particularly With Central America. Fol-
lowing these words his first act presi-
dent was to issue a decree proclaiming
amnesty and immediate liberty TO all
political prisoners. Later in the day he
sent the following message to the Presi-
dent of the United States:
On assuming the presidency of this
republic, | respectfully salute your eX-
celency and take the initiative in the
settlement of all outstanding dffhculties.
| wish a solid and cordial friendship be-
tween our governments and peoples.
These were fair words and fair acts,
we'll calculated to spread the belief that
the new executive at Managua would in
succeeding Zelaya proceed upon differ
ent line from that slayer of prisoners,
whose abandonment of the presidential
office was an act of Representation.
Despite the plain pledges of Madriz to
conform TO the usages of civilized war
fare and o. respect the rights of the
United States in Nicaragua. and despite
the obvious lesson taught by the Groce
and Cannon executions, Madriz has in
offiCial orders given instructions TO his
commanding officers that "all prisoners,
including Americans, shall be shot with
out mercy. The message proceeds
Shoot without fear OF consideration the
resolutionists you may capture by attack
and the prisoners YOU may have 1t is
Furthermore reported upon authority
which has not Yet been disclosed that
secret instructions have been given Tor
the execution OF William Pittman, an
American soldier of fortune now held
prisoner by the Madriz forces for partic-
ipation in the Estrada insurrection.
lit is 10 be hoped that Madriz will not
proceed to the extent hat these orders
and This report indicate. To do SO would
place the United States in position
where intervention in the Nicaraguan
turmoil would be virtually imperative.
This government has taken a strong posi-
ton regarding the treatment Of Ameri-
cans who may be taken by either of the
Ncaraguan contestants as prisoners of
war. Ii emphatically 6enounces the doc
trine that prisoners taken in the course
of hostiites are subject to summary
punishment. In the course Of its own
civil war it strictly absta,ned from the
execution of any but spies taken within
the Feueral ranks, and in such cases only
rarely,
Madrizs orders are the more shameful
and subyersive of civilized principles De-
cause of the plaiuness with which he
was notified upon assuming his Office at
Managua that In the eyes of enlightened
nations the acts of his predecessor out
ragged humanity. Apart from the i'm
mediate interest of the United States in
the Pittman case the proposition to kill
all prisoners now in hand OF yet to be
taken is calculated To arouse American
indignation to the point where it tran
sends considerations of policy and calls
Tor a peremptory Intervention to prevent
this unspeakab.e crime.

The Lorimer Election.

The democrats of Illinois are properly
sensitive about the votes cast by mem
bers OF their party in the state lcgisla-
ture for William Lorimer for senator
They have met, and rebuked the action
ny formal resolution. II was a nasty ard
discreditable piece of business Not all of
those members are accused of taking
money for their votes. but all had a can
didate of their own regularly in the field,
and should have kept out of the republi-
can complication. Political fine work
Is sometimes executed under circum-
stances that bring suspicion and odum
upon everybody In interest.

Now that Mr.. Bryan's influence is being
tested In Nebraska on a new proposition,
it is well to bear in mind what that
proposition is. He is not prohibitionist
He has, so declared most explicitly. He
favors local option, as do great many
men in both parties who think, as he
does, that extreme and non-enforceable
legislation Injuries the temperance cause.
In holding that the people of a county
should have the right to decide whether
liquor shall be sold within it's borders
he Is on practical lines and a member of
large company.
But what gives especial point to Mr..
Bryan's contention and position is his in
sistence that the liquor interests must
get out of politics, not only in Nebraska.
but everywhere He asserts that their
influence is powerful and corrupting, and
has been exerted with deplorable results
In many states. This should cease. He
puts the matter upon higher than po-
Iitical grounds, but gives 1t a political
application because of the situation as it
| exists today.
II is a fact. of wide knowledge, that
the saloons and their supporters higher
up have I'm many states too much to say

of party platforms. They sometimes
designate candidates for Office, and when
those candidates are elected call upon
them for favors. Out of this We have
seen much legislation friendly TO the sa-
| looms. and the defiance by the saloons OF
authorities refusing to play the. saloon
| game.
| Mr.. Bryan would put stop to this, as
| indeed. would the wiser OF the men who
| sell liquors and see the injury to their

ago decided senatorial contest In that

state this year. Another senatorial cam
| paign Is in progress, and the brewers and
the saloon keepers have taken sides. this

Massachusetts,.

Representative Foss of Massa chusetts
VIII not be a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination fer governor this year.
A Mr.. Valley who has made the race
for governor twice, and failed, will be
permitted to run again
Outsiders We're hoping for a different
decision on Mr.. Foss' part. 1t seemed
his year, SO TO say Tney thought lie
should press the advantage he had gained
in his congressional campaign, when he
swept a republican stronghold on the
tariff question. Why not make the ques-
state contest?
For reasons of his own, MIR. FosS leaves
Mr.. Valley a clear field The country at
large does not know Nh Valley, and con-
sequently will not follow his campaign
with much interest. He may be man
of strength, and may hustle his oppo-
nents. The third time may prove the
charm. But. as a rule. q twice-defeated
candidate affords no inspiring leadership.
With the standard in the hands of Mr.
Foss the call to battle would have been
more stirring. The Bay state democracy
might have said, Here is the man that
many republicans even Endorsed at the
polls only last spring. The issue remains
the same 1t was tariff revision then. 1t
is tariff revision now. Mr.. Foss has not
changed. lie was at that time for
much lower revision than the Payne law
affords, and he is still for that. Come.
The whole state OF Massachusetts is in
terested in the tariff question. The four
teenth congressional district has spoken.
Now let everybody in the commonwealth
speak.
That fourteenth district decision has
been something Of a puzzle ever since 1t
was rendered. Enauestionaby the tariff
caused it, Mr. Foss made his campaign
in opposition not only to the Payne law,
but to what he charged the law repre-
scented as respected the future republican
tariff policy. He spoke In the terms OF
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Hearst and every
other emphatic repudiator of the policy
of protection. And the fourteenth dis
trict seemed to indorse his views.
And yet at that very time, the enemies
of the Payne law in the middle states
the west and the south were charging
that the law had been shaped by New
England influences for New England in
rerests and purposes. And, what was
chusetts district was concerned, Mr.. Low
ering, whom the district had returned TO
Congress in November, 1905, by ma
jority Of nearly fourteen thousand votes,
had, as one of his last off1ciai acts,
spoken and voted for the Payne law.
Funny, the whole business.

The Cement Trust.
From the Rochester Herald.

In the last four or five years the use
of cement in construction has increa >ed
at an enormous rate. For the most part
it means permanence and stability. 1t
promotes the conservation of the nation S
resources This popularity of cement is
due. in. a large measure. we are justified
in claiming, to the urgent attitude which
the newspapers have taken on the ques-
ton. 1t is somewhat disheartening, there
fore, to note that their confidence has
been abused by the cement trust, which
has taken advantage of the increased use
of this material to mark up the price 10
