THE TARIFF QUESTION WILL NOT DOWN.

NV Q matter what Congress shall do with the Canadian reci-
AN procity treaty and the bill for a new tariff commission, the
tariff issue has come to stay and will dominate national as
well as State politics. President Tafts convenient plan Of getting
rid of the question by shuntng 1t off on a commission to report
at long intervals O single schedules does not satisfy the people
When the present tariff commission was created at the last session
Mr.. Taft seemed quite satisfied that the tariff question had been
shelved. He was surprised, and a little indignant, that the people
of the country did not take the same view of the case, although he
bad told them in public addresses that the commission was just the
thing to deal with the question The results of the election en-
lightened Mr.. Taft. BE abandoned his panacea and favored a
commission with some real powers to deal with the tariff. He has
even gone SO far as to recommend a reciprocity treaty with Canada,
making large reciprocal reductions in the tariff rates. But even If
the country gets both the treaty and the tariff commission the
tariff question will not down. The Aldrioh tariff Is not
unlike a row of bricks. II You pull one brick out the others lose
their place. The treaty with Canada displaoes a number of tariff
bricks. 1t particularly affects the agricultural interests. The
National Grange has now started up in protest against the treaty
The grange is not opposed to a general tariff reduction, but as its
spokesman declares it Is opposed "to any arrangement which
makes fish of one industry and flesh of another This is coupled
with the demand for reductions on steel and iron and manufactured
articles. And so the general question of the tariff. develops into
a national ISSUE and with some of the queerest complications that
American politics has ever witnessed.

4RCELs POST AND EXPRESS RATE REDUc71oY

IT 7 has been suggested that there is just one way by which the
demand for a general parcels post can be met other than by
the establishment of such a system, and that is q reduction
of express rates to a reasonable basis. But the express companies
have hogged 1T 80 long and have been SO successful in defeating
Legislation, while enjoying enormous profits, that they will reduce
rates only when they are forced to. There is now a aimited parcels
post system. Parcels weighing up to four pounds can be sent
through the mail, but the rate is sixteen cents per pound, which
in Congress. The estimated cost per pound for transportation, han
ding and delivering mail of all kinds, including letters, is between
sight and nine cents per pound, while magazines pay a postage
rate of one cent per pound. The government carries the magazine,
which 10 threefourths business advertising matter, for the profit
Of the publisher, at a rate Afteen times less than 1t transports
parcels. In Europa, where the parcels post is limited to eleven
pounds, the rate per pound La only about onehalf of the rate N our
our.pound packages. For twenty years the postofice depart
ment has favored a parcels post and for a longer period there has
bean a deficit in the postal service that would be wiped out by
the income from a parcels post. But such men in Congress as
Speaker Cannon, the late Senator Plat and our own John j.
Gardner have served the express company interests we'll. What
the people want and demand at once is a parcels post on pack.
ages up to eleven pounds and a material reduction in the rates
on large express matter. Moreover, they demand a better system
by the express companies of charging for their service. Large
vidual shippers do not have the means to do so. Packages shipped
and prepaid at residences are charged for at the guess of the driver
and his guess is always largely in favor of the company. The
shipper never gets back the overchsrge. President Taft in his
last annual message recommended a parcels post limited TO rural
E~e delivery lines. It would puzzle the President or anybody else
to explain why the country man should have a parcels post and not
the city man. There is no reason except that the railroads and
the express companies don't want ii.

TO COMPLETE CLEVELAND MONUMENT FUND.

eTa HE Grover Cleveland monument fund is within $4,000 of
completion. The fund when fully subscribed will be 800,
900. 1t Is desired that on Olevelands birthday, March 18,
the Monument Association shall be enabled to close the books
and announce that the subscription is filed. The fund Is a patriotic
one, and it appeals strongly to the national sentiment. Long be-
fore he died Grover Cleveland ceased to be regarded as a political
partisan. In his honored retirement at Princeton he was the first
private citizen of the republic, and in his death he took his place
in the national pantheon, to be remembered and honored with the
other great men Of the republic who have passed away. Former
Senator John +. Dryden, who has directed the work of the fund,
will receive the additional subscriptions necessary to complete it,
and will be deeply gratifed If the bulk of the offerings shall come
from citizens of New Jersey.

Why Cry Try to BE Optimistic.
To tho Editor Of the Evening Star;
It seems to be the hobby of radical
papers to talk about misery all the
time. Wherever and whenever one
picks up a publication that Is not in
accord with the present system of So
ciety, he will find that poverty, crime,
filth and ignorance are featured. These
things take up so much of the space
In the paper and leave SO little space
for the improvements In u govern
ment that are taking place every year
that one becomes impressed with he
thought that the editors try to hide
the fact that the world is becoming
better.
l have no objection to hearing OF
about misery will, in some instances.
arouse people to action, but I never
theless think that the thing a be
overdone and cause the reader to be-
lieve that the papers exaggerate the
evils and ignore the good things of
life.
Let the radical papers tell about pow
erty, but let them also tell about hap
piness and wealth and culture. Sure
ly there Is a great deal of happiness
In this world, despite the fact that
there is a great deal of poverty.
There is a class of people that are
exceedingly unhappy because they re-
fuse to be optimistic. They talk con-
stantly of the power of the trusts. they
tell us that the rich are getting richer
and the poor poorer" they see no hope
in sight. These people should look
back; they should read history and
convince themselves that the world is
growing better each year. Il ought to
be obvious to an that the youth has
greater educational advantages now
than he had years ago; everyone ought
to know that our standard of living is
higher now than IT ever was.
The trouble with our radical friends
is that they think hat by admitting
improvements they turn traitor to their
theories, their peculiar notions concern
AAkk 8VN0A ~ 40 hAX
by cuitivating a clean, healthy, opti-
mistic mind one is better fitted to
battle for the higher things. We all
admit that we have not reached the
highest stage of development, we all
know that there is a great deal to be
accomplished, but what is the use OF
crying and signing about 1t all the
time? BY keeping in touch with condi-
lions, and by having in mind the
thought that conditions are improving
every day, we can do more to reach the
goal than by ranting and cursing and
talking about misery day in and day
out. JOEL STEWART.

HOT WEATHER.

The temperature of the home on
hot days can be maintained from
eight to ten degrees below the out
door temperature by opening all the
windows and doors during the night
so as to allow free circulation of
the air during the night through the
whole house, and in the morning, soon
after sunrise, the windows should
be closed and the curtains drawn dowr
so as to exclude the sun and warm
outdoor air from getting into the
house
In this way the cool temperature
of the night can be maintained in
the house until late in the afternoon.
In almost all kinds of weather, the
lowest night temperature which is
just before sunrise, is from twenty
to thirty degrees lower than midday
temperature. and a good house-wif
should take advantage of this to
keep the home comfortable in hot
weather, and when the above is not
practicable, a cold bath before re
firing will insure a comfortable and
refreshing sleep during the hottest
night

RABIES.

This disease seems to originate in
the dog, but when transferred to
the human is known as Hydrophobia,
which word in plain English means
dread Of water, and is so called be
cause the person afflicted is not
able to swallow, and is made nervous
by the sight of water that he can not
drink. The dog on the contrary is
able to drink water,and does drink
water freely during the first stage
Of the disease.
When first attacked the dog chang
es his habits. He looks dull and
gloomy, and seeks to isolate himself
in out Of the way places. He will
lie down under chairs and off in out
Of the way corners, as if he wanted
to rest without being disturbed, but
a moment later he gets up suddenly
and walks back and forth two or
three times to find another place in
which to lie down, only to jump up a
gain moment later He often lies
down in a heap, putting his nose I'M
der his chest and covering his head
with his paws. but only to jump up
again as before and move about rest
lessly.
He often has disposition to lick
pieces of iron or stone or anything
cold He seems to be unhappy, and
is not so quick to mind, and while
he may continue to be affectionate,
the owner can not make him look
happy, as he could when in good
health.
He seems to be troubled with hallu
cinations, and sometimes acts as if
