solved back into their original form of absolute political nonentity.

The gathering of Democratic leaders at Baltimore on Tuesday, developed the facts that all attribute the Demo- cratic successes at the November cleo tions to popular dissatisfaction with the Aldrich tariff. and that all believe the party must make good" upon this question or forfeit all chance Of sue cess in the Presidential election of 1912. But there were differences of opinion as to the method and the extent of the advisable tariff-revision. Speaker-to- be Clark. for Instance. declared that revision should be schedule by sched- ule if possible. but item by item if necessary, land the, most obnoxious Texas asserted that "as between rot ren apples, there is no choice" and that "every schedule in the Payne Aldrich law is bad"
 It may reasonably be assumed from the tone of this Baltimore gathering that the Democratic House will. when assembled in regular session in Decem- Der next or sooner if the President calls a special session. give early and special attention to tariff revision. There is a very distinct impression that the method of procedure stated by Mr. Clark will be adopted-that is, schedule by schedule. or item by item, and if the joint rule offered by MT. Hill in the House be adopted. the Sem ate will be iunable to go outside of measures transmitted to 1t by the House. This would assure speedy action. with the principal obstacle a possible veto by the President
 But the great point is that the Dem ocratic House must. so far as it's power extends. fulfil the pledges of its campaign of 1910.

the arrangements. The people, how
eveg took refuge in the pavilion and
other buildings on the grounds and
made themselves as comfortable as
possible.
The speaking was held in the pavil-
ion, and Col r. T. Miner, who was
to have been the chief speaker of the
day, was prevented from being pres
ent by illness. This of course was a
great disappointment, as Colonel Mil
ner is held in the highest esteem by
everybody without regard to national
ity. His place was ably filed, how
ever, by Hon. w. c.. Davis, who de-
livered splendid address. Mr.. Davis
was introduced by Rev. w. w. Daup
in short but most fitting address.
Mr.. Davis based his remarks upon the
place held by Italy and her contribu-
ton to the worlds civilization, special
izing the arts and sciences, in which
she stands in the foremost ranks. His
entire speech, and especially that por-
tion of it referring to the very friend-
ly relations between the people of the
United States and the Italian citizen
ship of this country, was highly appre-
ciated and most warmly applauded.
Following Mr.. Davis, Lieutenant
Fenton. Senator J. r. Astin, Mayor J.
T. Maloney, Sheriff John D. Conlee
and J. NJ Saladiner were called for
and all of them made short and point
| ed addresses.
Gen. H. B. Stoddard, who officially
represented Mr.. Niccolini, the Italiar
consul at Galveston, acted as master
of ceremonies, and in the course o
his duties said few words that were
very greatly appreciated by all th'
Italian citizens present.
The barbecue dinner was fine, bu
was interfered with by the rain. How
ever. everybody took their time, re
manned under shelter, and in time al
were bountifully served.
| The celebration on the whole was |
success, and one its promoters shoul'
not feel ashamed Of 1t will also b,
of lasting good for the whole county
because it created a closer and friend
lier relationship between the variou
nationalities making up the county
citizenship.
