Secretary Wilson has been giving the
farmers some very plain facts about
the relations of the tariff to the cost
Of living. He says that the tariff has
nothing whatever to do with these
prices, as the increased cost comes
from articles which are not on the
schedule. The food is produced here In
the United States and is consumed here.
The farmer is getting no more thar he
should for what he raises, but the mid
die men add high profits to enhance
the cost. The wholesalers and retail
ers boost the prices, and not the tariff.
The consumers are somewhat to blame,
since they will insist on ordering goods
by telephone, having them put up at
tractively and delivered by a smart
driver with stylish horse and wagon.
All these must be paid for, and the con-
sumner pays for them.

More than 30 years ago the New
York Tribune and other papers had a
pet sensation which they exploited for
some years under the heading Have
We Bourbon Among Us?" Their story
was that the elder son of the guillotined
Louis XVI. who It was claimed had died
from abuse and neglect while yet a
child. had really been spirited away to
this country, and was no other than
the Rev. Eleazer Williams. an Episco-
pal clergyman and missionary to the
Indians. Mr.. Williams was convinced
Of his parentage. as were numbers of
others in the country, and a book which
had considerable circulation was writ
ten to prove his claims. It seems that
we really have a Bourbon among us,
and she lives in Florida in the person
of Princess Alice Of Bourbon, daughter
Of the late Don Carlos, pretender to the
throne of, SPAIN She was first married
to Prince Frederick of Germany, but
the union was so unhappy that even
the Pope agreed to an annulment of the
marriage. She was one of the two
royal women who went to Manchuria
during the war between China and Ja-
pan to nurse the sick and wounded.
She later married Capt Limo del Prete,
of the italian army, is immensely
wealthy and lives on her own pIanta-
tion in Florida. She had a son by Ter
first husband and has two children by
her present marriage

The agitation In England for salaried
members of Parliament continues, and
will likely be successful within a short
time In England 1t has been the theory
that it was part of n gentleman's duty
to help govern the country, and it is not
an uncommon thing for a candidate to
spend 100000 to get elected to a place
in which ne has no salary and few per-
quisites. This confines the membership
of the House Of Commons to men who
are very rich. and excludes not only
poor men. bat those who are moderately
well off. and, it is claimed. saddles a
great many constituencies with candi-
dates who have no other qualification
than that of money.

THE SINKING OF THE MAINE.

Col. Jasper T. Brady is brother of
the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, whose
fecundity in writing thrilling popular
stories is one of the wonders of the lit
erary world. Col Jasper Brady seems
to have some measure of his brother s
talent, for he has come out with a
thriller" as to the destruction of the
Maine. He represents himself as one
of a board of Army officers which was
appointed to investigate the catastrophe
and that this board discovered that a
Cuban electrician, Jose Zavaldo, en-
ployed in the Moro Castle, sank the
Maine. in order 70 provoke a war pe-
tween the United States and Spain and
secure the liberation of Cuba. ZavalGo
laid the mine under the Maine and
then fired it, Later he was shot by the
order of Capt. Gen. Weyler, Col. Brady
says that the board of which he was
member madeNa full official report to
President Mckinley. who paid no at
tention to it. The assertion by Col.
Brady that he belonged to this board
and the Regular Army has resulted in
his record being looked up. 1t seems
that he was in the Signal Service and
private. Corporal. Sergeant and Ser
geant-Major in the 10th U. S. from 1883
to 1891, when he secured commission
of Second Lieutenant, and was assigned
to the 10Th U. S. He was promoted to
First Lieutenant and then became
Captain in the volunteer Signal Corps.

The Attorney General has made a
sweeping decision in the whisky case
which does not meet with our approv-
al, tho that Is possibly of as little con-
sequence to him as our dissent from
his decision on the Lee statue. In the
case of the Canadian Club Whisky he
decided that the name Canadian Club
qualified the product SO that it is not
subject to the rules OF the Agricultural
Department in regard to what consti-
tutes whisky. If this decision is sus-
tained, all that the makers of imitation
whisky have to do to make their bever-
ages legal is to prefix some name be-
fore the whisky. No matter how the
so-called whisky may be compounded,
II 1t is labeled Canadian Club whisky"
Magnolia Whisky" or "Ohio Whisky"
It can be legally sold. This. it seems
to us, defeats the whole campaign Of
the Agricultural Department to have
nothing called whisky but what is really
product of the old-fashioned stills
ripened by age.

NO ANNEXATION OF PANAMA.

Strangely President Taft felt il nee
cssary to announce that his trip to Pan
ANA had mes ultesior objects in the di-
Irection Of sannexatipn of the little Re-
public. Teie Pana1na Minister made
this announcement public. No one
really deshes tbs annexation of Pam
anna. and there is no forcible reason
on the part of either country why it
should be- made Panama is getting
along very!twell as she is and has every
prospect Of getting along better. In no
way does our administration of the
Canal Zone interfere with Panama's
sovereignty or make it desirable that
we should exercise a stronger influence
in the country. Nor has the PROPOSE
ton to fortify the canal any bearing
upon Panama's sovereignty. We would
be foolish not to fortify the canal upon
which we shall spend hundreds of mil
lions of dollars and the safety of which
is of such high Importance to our naval
and military operations. Our attitude
toward Panama will be that that we

willing and ready to protect them in
their independence and assure them
proper government by their own people.
This is what we are beginning to do in
Central America, what we have done
in Cuba, and what we will probably
have to do in other countries. We

A melancholy reminder of the pas
sage of time was the gathering at Chi
cago, ILL.,, Oct. IL, of eight survivors
of the once famous Zouave Cadets. OF
which Col. E. Elmer Ellsworth was the
commander. The Ellsworth Cadets
with their marvellous drill and discipline
did as much as any one thing to arouse
the martial spirit of the youth of the
country before the war. It was be-
lieved to be the best-drilled corps in
the world, and its exhibitions in the
various cities drew great crowds. It
even received the warm approval OF
West Point and gave an exhibition
there which the cadets could not sur
pass. even if they could equal it. When
the war broke out all of the members
were in request as drill masters in the
new organizations. and most Of them
became officers. Col. Ellsworth took
command of the New York Fire Zou-
aves, which was raised for him by the
underwriters OF New York, and was
one of the first officers killed in the
war. At the dinner at Chicago the
youngest man was Frank e. Yates, 6S
years old, and Col. P. Dwight Latin,
the ranking officer alive, was 81 years
old The Reunions have been kept
up ever since the war, but 1t was de
cided that the time had come to aban-
don them, which was done in deep
sorrow.

THE WORLDS WORKS VIEW.

Pensions and the Grand Army.
1t is a pleasure to note that the
National Encampment of the Grand

a pension of $50 month TO every man

high tariff brings in.
This position taken by the Grand
Army is a patriotic one. Doubtless the
dollar-a-day bill might be passed. But
we are inclined to believe that It's pas
sage would be followed by such a pub

the pension system and its administra-
ton would be hastened, for such an ex-
animation must come anyhow for the
sake of decency and honesty.

vast an increase would not be tustifi-

agents will do a very great deal to
win back the regard which every pa

Postmaster General Hitchcock and
President Taft have. it is said, worked
out a new plan for the improvement of
the postal revenues. According to this,
magazines which are made up wholly
or mostly of reading matter will go
at the present rate of 1 cent pound,
while those publications where the
amount of advertising approximates or
exceeds that of the reading matter will
have to pay a much higher rate. 1t
is felt that this is just and that the
magazines should receive especial at
tention, since the average haul of mag
azines is LOO miles, while that of daily
newspapers is only 300 miles.

speaker and charming performer on

ever, how these qualities make him es-

simply because he is Southern man.
