Washington. Dec Ex-senator Lafayette
Young. of Iowa, gave the legislative body
of which he has been member exactly
ten days the surprise of its existence TO-
day. He had prepared TO make an attack
on his colleague, Senator Curmins, who
seeks the passage OF concurrent resoin-
ton changing the rules of the Senate and
House to permit piecemeal revision
Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. This he
did. and more. He iectured the grave and
digni1ed Senators from the point of view
Of an editor, which he is in private life.
The Senate gasped and then laughed
when Mr.. Young told II that the country
would feel relieved were Congress to ad-
iourn altogether for two solid years" II

Senator Goung's speech, which occupied
less than an hour, commanded the strictest
attention. The Senator had prepared an
address which was before him on his desk
but he seldom consulted the printed copy.

psrently realizing that it might be at once
his salutatory and his swan song, he spoke
his real thoughts on legislation and on
the national legislature.
His reference TO editors and printers ink
as the real directors OF the destiny of the
nation was followed by disavowal of any
intent to offend. When he called his coll

Against Further Tariff Revision.
Mr. Young opposed all efforts at revision
Of the existing tariff law because. as he con-
tended. The law protects the interests of the
farmer. He had great fear. he SAID, that
ultimately the adoption of the resolution
would prove injurious to the great agTicul-
tura1 interests.
1.-The principal complaint against the tar
iH as regards prices he said. mas had
reference TO the products of the farm.
Therefore we might anticipate that the first
schedule that would come from the other
house. would be the agricultural schedule
I would be afraid for Secretary wilson CT
any number Of great farmers to be caught
alone with that schedule With no means II
defence.
The weapons of offence and defence In
legislation are the right of aTnendulent and
the privilege of offering substitutes My COL
league would take away from himself and
myself the right of Introducing tine woolIen
schedule substitute for proposed
amendment which might put agricultural
products on the free list IF the proposed
rule should become the Law of the two
houses we would be denied the privilege Of
fighting for our interests by the arraign-
n1ert and Introduction of the interests of
others.''
Mr. Young spoke of the recent elections
and. plainly referring to the progressive
Republicans, said that arguments made by
men within the Republican party had pro-
duce6 Democrats votes. In discussing the
attacks by insurgents on the principle of
protection, ne told of meeting William J.
Bryan recently and saying to him that Just
as the latter had advanced in fitness for
the Presidency his chances had diminished.
and that, as he had now become conser-
vative, his party would not prefer him for
that high Office.
Under the Mckinley tariff law. he de-
cIared, Iowa and Massachusetts, had en-
tered into a partnership which had proved
unsatisfactory to the New England state
when Iowa had begun to reap her share of
the benefit This opposition had eliminated
when Governor Foss won his election on
platform declaring for free food products
nv reciprocity with Canada.

 There is too much boat stealing going on in this community. Cattle rustlers and hoss thieves have quite generally ceased aftiicting the western states. The method of subduing them was simple. When man was caught lead ing hoss that belonged to someone else, the halter was removed from tue animal and attached to the man. There was twist of the wrist, an elbow move ment and then property was sacred in that vicinity for long time. Now, boats have ropes, and conditions are al most identical. Just why the elbow treatment has not suggested itself is mystery.-Ketchikan Miner.

 Along with Major Richardson, the most of us desire peace; but we desire peace with a reasonable degeree of self respect. As long as paid lobbyists are maintained at Washington to oppose our elected representative, there can be no peace. As the first step toward the accomplishment of peace, the admins tration forces should pull off their mer cenaries. Then we will declare an armistice and discuss terms of arbitra- tion.-Ketchikan Miner.
 There are better herring in Alaskan waters than the herring caught in the Atlantic ocean. In part of the waters of Southeastern Alaska, herring liter ally swarm, but the only commercial uses they serve are as halibut bait and fertilizers. Herring is valuable food fish. It is worth more today than when the ancient pedagogue propounded the problem to his pupils: "If herring and a half cost cent and half, what will eleven herrings cost?" Alaska her ring are too valuable and too numerous to be used exclusively for fish bait and fertilizers.-A.- Magazine.

 A very modest Norwegian girl, by name of Miss Anna Foller, is i'll Fair banks. But Miss Foller is the heroine of trip duplicate of which by woman has probably never occurred in all the lands belonging to the United States. Miss Foller has been employed for the winter at Meir's roadhouse, l76 miles up the Valdez trail. As no stage was immediately forthcoming at the close of her term of service, she placed a couple of reins about the neck of her pet dog, with which to assist her pro. gross, and taking pair of skis they started for Fairbanks, making the whole distance in period of time which breaks the record of travel on the trail, being three days on the trip. Portions of the trail were, to use the stereotyped expression, like boule- yard and the dog jumped and yelped ioyously along ahead, Miss Foller hold ing the reins and getting the benefit of his strength, while fairly flying along on the skis She had no company but the dog on the entire trip, except those with whom she became acquainted on the road to Fairbanks.-Ex.
 Indorsing President Taft's policy to- ward Alaska, Albert Fink, well-known Alaskan attorney, arrived yesterday in Seattle from Washington, D. C., says the P.-I. of the 26th ut. He has been there advocating the passage of the Alaska commission bill before the sen- ate territorial committee. He declares the president has given his word that if enacted, almost the entire member ship of the commission will be Alaska citizens. He referred to the fact that five recent appointees of the president, namely, United States Marshals Sulli- van and T. c. Powell, District Attorney c. D. Murane and District Judges Thomas R. Lyons and Peter Overfield, are Alaskans of more than four years residence. Ed Cushman, another dis trict judge, is Washington man who has been in Alaska and is acquainted with conditions there. Mir.
