Plato vindicated.

The author Of genius" said william
Dean Howells, expresses the thoughts
Of his time. He speaks out those things
that his generation has all along been
thinking, but thinking silently and per-
haps little mistily.
An author Of transcendent genius
speaks the thought OF all time. For
example, one summer at Sunapee I
lent a volume Of Plato to a lean,
shrewd farmer. When the volume was
returned said:
We'll, how did you like PlatoY
First rate the farmer answered. 4
see he's got some of my ideas.'"

GENEVA. Dec. 17.-A battery OF

violent snowstorm, obliged to abando

$500 feet. and to descend hastily to

Napkins.

Napkins became popular In France
sooner than in England. At one time
1t was customary at great French din

course, to perfume them with rosewa-
ter and to have them folded different
way for each guest.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

If congress does nothing more during
the present session, than pass a bill
creating a permanent-tariff commission.
it will not have met in vain. There is
not a more important subject before the
people of this nation today than the
scientific regulation of the tariff. This
is a matter that vitality affects every
business in the country. 1t has been
made the foot ball of politics for many
Eyears. With every change of admins.
~tration there has been a threatened Jug
Cling of the schedules so that manu-
facturers have been unable to make
plans for the future. At every session
the tariff has been more or less dis
eussed with rumors, pro and con, as to
whether or not changes win be made,
all of which have kept manufacturers
on the anxious seat, much to the detri-
ment of business everywhere.
We believe the people of the country,
especially those engaged IN business,
will rejoice to have hte whole matter
referred to a non-partisan commission,
where schedules can be adjusted from
time TO time as conditions require; re.
gardless of what party may be in pow
er, then business will not be thrown into
confusion every time we have a nation
al election,
Dispatches from Washington yester-
day stated that the senate committee of
finance has taken up the matter of a
permanent tariff commission and a sub,
committee has been appointed to draw
up a bin. The impression is growing
in the senate that a bill creating a per
manent tariff commission win be passed
at this session. It is understood that
the Democrats are opposed to this, as.
they want to have il chance to do a
little juggling of the rates on their own
hook. Should a tariff commission be
created, however, We do not believe
that the Democrats would dare inter
fere with it. Public opinion is too
strong in favor of taking the tariff en-.
tirely out of politics.

WHITE HOUSE nHANaEs

Washington, ID. c., Dec. l4:-They
have changed the interior appointments
! of the White House-the internal archi-
lecture, SO to speak-so as to provide
a nice, comfortable substitute FOR the
time-honored navigation of Salt river
by politicians who didn't come back
on November s. One of the spacious
corridors of the Executive Offices has
been converted into an additional wait
ing room, to accommodate an astonish-
1ngly increased number of callers since
the President return from Panama.
Some astute individual discovered
discovered that about ninety per cent.
of this daily crowd who sought the
Presidential presence were ELAINE
ducks" seeking some nice, soft berth
to occupy after March 4. Although
this is the open season for jobs, 80 many
are the huntsmen and so keen the fer
vor of the chase, that the poor hunted
berths are nearly all run to cover.
Naturally the White House is the
preserve where the game is thickest.
Energetic huntsrnen frequent the Exc
cutive Offices faithfully. They do not
intend to be far away when the Presi-
dent let's a job loose.
And SO it happens that the list of
waiting callers has been extraordinarily
augmented during these last few weeks.
A hundred or so ~job-hunters make a
brave showing, but they have over
crowded the spacious reception rooms
at the Executive Offices so that the
patriots who have other business at the
White House than chasing down vacan-
cies on the Government payroll get lost
in the shuttle. The t~siobbedp ones
didn't like to rub elbows with the ten.
jobless.
So Secretary Charles D. Norton de-
