TIDAL WAVES IN POLITICS.

Tidal waves in politics sweep over the country every decade in the off years when a house of representatives
 is elected in the even year between two presidential elections: but the effect of
 this tidal wave on the political tides Of | the next presidential election depends | upon the way the current runs in the odd year next before the presidential | election. If the democratic tidal wave | drops off, the tides of politics are going back to their old channel If these
 tides run as the tidal wave ran some thing is going to happen.
 | Twice in the last forty years a dem- ocratic tidal wave has been followed by d democratic president In 1882. a I tidal wave swept the country and Cleveland was elected in 1884 and the | tidal wave of 1890. which left the smallest republican vote in the hou Sc of representatives since the Civil war, was followed by the second election of Grover Cleveland in 1892
 But the years between. 1883 and 1891. aw elections very different from those which have just passed. In New York and New Jersey this year the demo- Crats are in the minority and lose the legislature. In 1883 and in 1891 the democrats elected their state ticket in both states and added to their hold on the legislature. Massachusetts elected William H. Russell for the second time by the biggest vote he had boiled and the canvass. instead of leading him to propose withdrawing from politics. as has Governor FOss this year. led him to run a third time in 1892. when ne
 was again elected. Maryland. which this year has chosen a republican gov
 ernOr. gave the democratic candidates more votes than at the previous cleo ton. ohio in 1SS3 chose Hoadley over FOraker and the vote in the cities was more heavily democratic than now.
 though the state was for Blaine in 1884. Tn 1891 Governor McKinley car ried the state. the only sign of check to the democratic tidal wave of 1890. but Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties increased their democratic votes.
 Taken as a whole. in 1883 and 1891. the democratic tidal wave of 1882 and 1890 held its course of the year before. This year is has weakened New York and New Jersey were held by the dem- ocratic candidates then. They are lost by them this year. This was true over the country. The democrats held in 1883 and 1891 what they had won in 1882 and 1890 and they won again in 1884 and 1892
 All manner of deductions are being drawn from Tuesdays election. Each newspaper with special hobby sees its effect on that particular basis. The sherman act has been enforced too much or too little, the tariff has been revised too much or not enough. and so oh; but in 1912 the broad issue will be between the republican and demo- cratic parties and the broad fact is that the democratic tidal wave of 1910 has not held its own in 1911. as in the odd years of 1883 and 1891. before dem- ocratic victory in 1884 and lSS2.-Phil- adelphia Press.

TAFT WILL RETURN ID LAW PRACTICE Go From White House to
 His Old Home VERY LONG 12 YEARS The President Says That Events Have Made His Absence From His Old
 Home Seem Like
 Lifetime

Washington, June 19.-President Taft to the Commercial club of Cincinnati today at which he lightly referred to the possibility of going back to a less active life" away from the presidency. as having both welcome and unwel- come phases; that in the absence of any provision for ex-presidents he would open law office in his old home city and that he is determined his son Robert shall work out his life amid those surroundings.
 Mir Taft was speaking at the Chevy Chaz club here at luncheon rendered him there by the Cincinnati Commer- cial club and was formally accepting for Mrs. Taft and himself a silver rose bowl presented by the Cincinnatians. The President said in part:
 "As Flock about this table and ex- ercise such memory as has been left to me after my experience in Washing ton, almost every face brings up some incident in my life at Cincinnati that I like to cherish and as the time grews nearer when I shall go back to Gin. ClHudtl to Uudko IL lily PCiiiohOA$ iAOAiiSs as retiring place for one ex-Pres- ident. the pleasure of retrospection as to Cincinnati friendships grows great CT and greater.
 "It is not so long since Mrs. Taft and I left Cincinnati. It is only 12 years. We have to measure time rather by events than by the tick of the watch and certainly in 12 years it has fallen to my lot to have great many un- usual things happen to me. To be trans planted from one civilization to another; from contact as civilian, or as the arm of the administration of justice, to the chief executive, for the time being, of ninety millions of people Is a tre- mendous change. and to have the last four years made period such as have experienced Is to prolong the period until 1t seems almost a lifetime.
 'The effect that it has upon one's life and character is something that one real izes fully but cannot explain. Of course there are others who have had similar experiences, but I venture to say 1t Is rather exceptional to include within lim- it of little more than decade that wnicn has happened to me-to go from the somewhat humdrum but always deilght- full life of a judge who could retire from public life in any sense without be1ng exposed to criticism. to place where there seemed to be nothing but criticism, was a change that only man who has been through it can full understand.
 The prospect of going back to less active life has in 1t at this time some phases that are welcome and some that are unwelcome. The necessity for labor which will follow my retirement, however, relieves me somewhat fIom anxiety on that score There Is as yet, 80 far as l have been informed, no provision for an ex-President and while do not wish to hold out any competition to the lawyers who honor this club. wish to say to the rest of the members of the club that shall open an office and be ready for bus

that he was the agency through which an attempt was made by two great refin- ing companies to control the sugar mar ket
 The denial came when Chairman Hard wick of the committee questioned MT Post as to the alleged manner in whicl he, as the head of the National Sugar Refining company, in 1894, affected a dea by which his company and the American Sugar Refining company agreed to the limit of refined sugar and fix prices.
 'sThere is no foundation for that de- clared Mir. Post. Don't you know anything about such an agreement?" urged Chairman Hard wick
 '.I read that, but I can't imagine to what they refer" The organization of the New Jersey corporation was taken up. The capitali- zation of the new company, MT. Post tes- tified, was s20,000 GOO, divided equally be- tween preferred and common stock. The companies taken in were capitalized at between s3,oOo,oOO and s40o0,ooo.

 why was that?, Chairman Hardwick | asked
 | .It was because competition had been | keen."
 And this organization was effected to avoid compettion? | Tt had that effect MT Post warmly defended Mr Have meyer, saying witnesses who swore Have meyer knew of the customs frauds were ! Tying
 The committee on expenditures in the | treasury department began its work with a view to connecting officials higher up'' in the American Sugar Refining com pany with the weighing frauds against | the government. | Oliver sptzer, the companys dock sup erintendent related the whole history oi the sugar weighing frauds, describing dis honest weighing schemes employed on the sugar docks as far back as 1885. He ad mitted he was cognizant of the frauds. | Spitzer told the committee he had talk. ed to John Thompson. one of the refining | companys invoice inspectors When asked what Thompson had told him, Spitzei said:
 Thompson told me that he had beer talking to Henry o. Havemeyer, presi dent of the company, about the weights
 He said Havemeyer told him never tt write any more letters when he wanted to say or inquire anything about sugal
 weights. Havemeyer, he said. told him h, should telephone about all such matters
 Did Thompson tell you why Have
 meyer told him not to correspond abou
 the weights?"
 NO he did not, but there must hay,
 been an understanding. The compan.
 new what weights they were paying
 ustoms on."
 Spitzer traced the history of weighing
 rauds through long period, describing
 six different systems. Asked if he hat
 ever remembered seeing H. O. Havemeye
 at the docks, Spitzer said he noticed hin
