For a Tariff Commission,

The titular leader of the Demo
cratic party in the house is Mr.. Clark.
The Democrats of the house have or.
ganized q central committee-the ma
jority of the ways and means com
mittee for the next congress-to
which has been committed the ad-
ministration of party affairs through
the selection of the committees of the
house, and who will necessarily have
charge OF the chief matter Of legis-
lation, the tariff The chairman OF
this committee is Judge Underwood
of Alabama, a man of large expert
ence, sound judgment and high char
aoter. Mr.. Clark and Judge Under
wood after careful consideration have
reached the conclusion that tariff
commission, on the lines followed by
the pending bill, is a wise, fair, prac-
tical measure. In this conclusion they
will certainly be sustained by the
great body OF the Democrats of the
country. In acting on it, We believe
that they will serve the country, their
party and especially their own sec

The New Reciprocity Treaty.

For the first time in more than fifty
years the governments of the United
States and Canada have been able to
prepare trade agreement that both
parties to the negotiation believe will
prove acceptable to the people and in
crease the already great business
passing over the border. The attempt
to drive the Dominion into the Union
has been definitely abandoned. The
abrogation of the reciprocity tHeaty in
1866, the long period of notoriously
hostile tariff legislation eliminating
In the Mckinley and Dingley tariff
acts. the constant friction over fish
cries and boundaries and bonding
privileges and a&en labor laws-all
these have ended in acknowledged de-
feat Canada has grown and pros
pered in spite OF them, and Washing
ton has at last had the grace to ac-
knowledge that the Dominion must
hereafter be treated as the nearest
neighbor and one of the best Gus
toners Of the republic should have
been treated long ago.
1t Is asserted in some quarters on
this side of the boundary that there Is
an ulterior motive behind the change
of attitude of the United States, and
that, having discovered that Canada
could not be coerced, the political
strategists south OF the line are now
seeking to cajole and bribe her into
the Union. That may be the motive,
although there is no evidence OF 1t,
but anyone who believes that Canada's
future depends on tariffs or trade
agreements knows nothing Of the in
tense love of country that is develop
ing among the rising generation. the

LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts Mat
ter Of Record.

The record for fasting. so far as
humanity Is concerned is held by
Granie, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death.
and from the day of his arrest refused
to eat In spite Of every effort on the
part of his warders, who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell, and
when that failed attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for SO days.
at the end Of which time he died. Up
To then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni SucciI who tasted 1T the
Royal Aquarium. London. for As days.
But these records sink into insignifi-
cance when compared with the fat
pig OF Dover, enshrlned in DR.. W. B.

II is reasonably safe to say that no
Legislative body would pass a Payne

congress would revise the tariff in ac-

Moreover that would be the best
thing In the long run for the special

pie accepted tariff law, we should
hear no more of that troublesome
question for a generation, and surely
the manufacturers stand in need OF
protection from agitation and insta-
hility quite as tnuJh gssfrom foreign
competition SO 1t ought TO work out
in all things.
Representatives at best can only
guess at public opinion and often
they mistake a loud noise for the
voice of the people, forgetting that
the shadows murmur but the deeps
are dumb" Throughout generation
congress was guessing on the -ques-
tion OF a money standard, whether It
should be paper, silver or gold, and
there was no rest or security. At
last, In 1896, the problem had to go
squarely to the people, as every prob
lem finally must, and the people
promptly gave a decision far more
conservative than timid congress
ever had dared to give and at once
put an end to all doubt and debate.
All matters of Importance soon or
late must be submitted to them for
final determination. Delay only pro-
longs the uncertainty Under the in
itiative and referendum every law has
the direct or tacit Endorsement of the
public, and thereby gains a stability
and force that can be derived from
no other source.
