Settle the Tariff Question.

When the Payne bill became a law,
it's friends hoped, and expressed the
opinion, that the tariff would not be
an issue of pressing moment again for
at least ten years. They conceded that
the Democrats would continue their
agitation, but they did not expect it
to make much impression as against
a measure at once good revenue pro-
ducer and a harborer of the principle
of protection.
This proved to be a mistaken iudg-
ment. The tariff as an issue did not
disappear for a single week. Oppo-
nents of the new law in both parties
continued to attack it, and in a little
more than a year after it's enactment
they secured verdict against it at
the polls. And what is now on the
cards, both as respects reciprocity and
RECESSION of schedules, is in obedience
to that verdict. The question now is,
will the tariff question be settled in
the next ten years? The people want
it settled, and it is true that nothing
is settled until it is settled right.

SCARF OF SHETLAND WOOL
One of the Prettiest and Most Com.

Head Coverings.

Something more than a coat is re-
quired by the girl going forth in the
evening to some gala function or
other. She needs head mufling. a
throat protector of some sort, and is
very we'll protected if she has velvet
or silk overboots and long wool nit
tens for the thin gloves. These things
make her comfortable, and If they are
selected they need not be clumsy or
unbecoming.
One of the cheapest and most re-
warding head mufflings of the season
is a Shetland wool scarf or auto veil.
for these pretty things can be worn
over the face. These filmy scarfs
come in all colors and pure white, as
well as in white with gay Scotch bor-
ders. For dark girl who is going to
have a bit of vivid color in her party
get-up the Scotch-border scarfs are
superb, They have a look of Mex
lean splendor and cost exactly one
dollar and ten cents each!

The inauguration of the president so
early in the spring imposes danger
and hardship on those who participate
in it, The short session of congress is
not long enough
When the federal calendar was ar.
ranged many years ago it provided
amply for the necessities existing then,
But the country has grown immensely,
One appropriation bill now carries a
greater sum Of money than was need
ed then to run the whole government.
Six weeks added to the short session
would relieve the situation common at
this time of the year. The present
congress could utilize the time advan.
tageously to the country, to it's own
membership and to the party which
controls it. 1t would seem that little
urging should be necessary to bring
about the adoption of the resolution.

Democrats and the Tariff.

Twenty-seven years ago this coming
spring Mr.. Randall supported by forty
odd of his Democratic friends, took off
the head of the Morrison horizontal bill
in the house. That nullified the cleo
tion of Mr. Carlisle to the speakership
so far as the tariff was concerned.
Four years later the Mills bill was
passed in the house as a response to
Mr.. Cleveland's tariff measure Of the
previous December, but it was so little
in accord with the spirit of the mes
sage that the tariff reformers in the
Democratic national convention which
renominated Mr. Cleveland practically
repudiated the bill and indorsed the
| message.
Six years after that a Democratic
congress divided on the tariff ques-
ton, and brought things political to
the ground with smash. Mr.. Wilson
of West Virginia presided over matters
in the house. and Mr.. German revised
the revision when it reached the SEN
ate. The two men, although both Dem
ocrats, were far apart on the tariff, the
one being an anti-protectionist and the
other protectionst.
Since then the Republicans have re-
vised the tariff twice, and on both oc-
casions there were Democratic sena-
tors and representatives who sought
and obtained protection duties on arti-
cles in which their constituents were
interested. Call it what you please,
protection or what not, and I'm for it,"
said the late Senator Daniel very
frankly.
So now. There are protection Dem
ocrats and anti-protection Democrats,
and they are just as far apart as Mr..
Randall and Colonel Morrison were a
quarter of a century ago. Next year,
in both the house and the senate this
fact will be developed

WILL PLEASE THE INVALID
Pretty and Useful TrlfIes That VIII
Tighten the Tedium of the
Sick Room.
JULIA BoTToMLEY.

Among the appropriate things for
the invalid are flower holders. These
can be fastened to the foot of the
bed. and are large enough to hold
three or four carnations or roses.
generally all that are to be allowed in
the sick room. Another acceptable
gift is a dainty piece of china-a
flower bordered plate, a cruel bowl of
eggshell thinness, or a fragile cup and
saucer of delicate design. Never mind
if these things are likely to break with
their first tumble; because of their
beauty, they will give enough pleas
ure, perhaps real benefit, to make
their possible short existence well
worth while. A lightweight leather
writing case, provided with a screw
top bottle of ink, compartments for
paper, envelopes, stamps, and pen and
pencil, gives the invalid who is
strong enough to write a certain feel
ing of independence. Some of these
cases have keys which add to their
usefulness A pint or half pint
vacuum bottle, for keeping liquids
warm or cold is another comfort-giv-
ing gift for the invalid and a time
saving gift for the nurse or caretaker.

THEIR HOLD INSECURE
DEMOCRATS ARE EY NO MEAN 5
FIRMLY m THE SADDLE.
Consideration Of Figures OF the Recent
Election Are Of Character to
Give Little Comfort to
the Party.

In the elections last fall 53 members
Of the house Of representatives were
chosen by margins falling under 1000.
OF these men who owe their success to
a few hundred voters 81 are Demo
Gratis, u are Republicans and one is
the lone Socialist, Berger, of Milwau-
kee He fell many thousands OF votes
short OF a majority in his district and
pulled through by a plurality OF 800
over the Republican candidate
OF the 80 districts carried by less
than 900 margin % were won by plu-
ralities below 500. OF these seats
which were turned on the slenderest
of pluralities IS went to the Democrats
and II to the Republicans. Berger,
the Socialist, captured the other.
On the face of the figures these facts
do not reveal their full significance.
They seem to leave the two great par
ties not very unequally placed in re-
spect to dependence upon extremely
close districts. In reality there is a
wide difference.
The Republicans who carried dis
tricts by slender pluralities saved them
in the face of a general and heavy fall
ing off in their party's strength. They
showed that the seats they held could
be won in the worst of adverse years.
These districts may fairly be classed
as secure, even against a landslide for
the opposition.
The conditions are reversed in re-
spect to close districts carried by Dem
ocrats. They profited by the same
general revulsion of public sentiment
which made Republican success eX
tremely difficult. Districts which went
Democratic last. fall by the narrowest
OF pluralties are districts very likely
election.
A change of $500 votes, in the right
places, would have reversed the result
of the struggle for the national house
of representatives 1t would have
given the Republicans the full control
of congress by electing 81 Republicans
instead of Democrats in the districts
where the Democratic margin was less
than 1000.
The present Democratic hold on the
house of representatives is exceeding
ly uncertain and liable to be lost in
| the next general election. The margin
| of the majority party in the next house
will look ample on roll calls, when the
| Democrats stand together, but the
| popular vote foundation beneath it is
astonishingly small and insecure.

Really Involves No Subsidy.

The Gallinger ship subvention bill
has been passed by the United States
senate, though by vote so close that
the vice-president decided the tie,
registering himself in favor of the
measure. The act, should it become a
law, will authorize the postoffice de-
partment to pay four dollars per mile
on the outward voyage to second class
American-built vessels plying between
ports in the United States and those In
the Philippines, China and Australia
and in South America south of the
equator Payment of two dollars per
mile under the same conditions may
be made to ships of the third class. A
provision limits expenditures in any
one year to S4,000000, or to an amount
not exceeding the surplus earnings of
the ocean carrying mail business. In
otheS words, this much-talked-of Sub
sidy" bill really involves no subsidy.
1t simply permits the government to
expend, IN aid of American ships car
rying the mails, the profits made in
one branch of the postal service. The
bill now goes to the house of repre-
sentatives, where sentiment is thought
to be stronger in favor of this very
moderate plan for encouraging Ameri-
can shipping

Reform in Customs Payments.

1t is said that the senate probably
will return to its original form the
bill authorizing the payment of Gus
toms duties by certified checks-that
is, the senate will strike out the house
amendment which makes acceptable
certified checks of state banks and
trust companies, leaving only the
checks of national banks. 1t is pointed
out that the government has no au-
thority over state banks and trust COM
panies, but has constant supervision of
national banks. The treasury officials
at any time can call on the comptroller
of the currency for information re.
garding a national bank. The chance
of loss from accepting certified checks
from state banks on trust companies is
50 slight that the government might
we'll disregard it in the general desire
to facilitate business.

SHOULD LEARN THE LESSON

Divisions in the Democratic party?
Certainly. And on every important
subject They can be clearly traced on
the tariff Later. we shall see them

the new trust legislation win show
differences between the south and the

It must be remembered that the De-
mocracy has been out of power a long

engaged with experiments. 1t has
written some queer platforms. II has
made some strange nominations. The
leading question it has put TO itself
has BEEN What shall | do to get in

For IA years nothing it did availed.
Failure after failure was recorded.
Mr.. Bryan was defeated three times

Republicans. In the senate the Demo-

the Democracy must now have a pro

the meaning of that is that the time

stock of their divisions and settled
them. They We're on the eve of bit

more severely. And yet they plunged
