little tariff revising as possible, The

This paragraph from the star is an
outward symptom Of the politician con-
Gitions at Washington. An element III
che republican party wants the tariff
revised 10 remedy its manifest errors
Another element in the party doesn't
want the tariff revised because II
doesn't want those errors corrected
The dem ocrat.c party is similarly d.
yided But the democratic members OF
congress are not SO much concerned
now about tariff schedules as they are
ebout che election next year. They
figure that the tide IS row running in
their favor and they DO not propose n
any manner 10 rock the boat, That IS
why there is doubt about what they
will 90. The notion that prevails with
them is tha; there IS danger IN any IL
rection in which il - proposed 20
move. Therefore, the wise thing 20 90
IS for them 10 stand still.
What the democrats really want IS
10 convey is the impression 10 the
country that the republican party IS
merely a synonym for an Ald-ich party.
The stumbling block in the way If this
achievement is the insurgents. This &C.
counts for the fact that the democrats
and regulars are united IN move 70

zion. When the Canadian pact has
been passed and all other revision has
been denied, then the democrats are N

the country gold brick in the Aldr!ch

cratic administrator"

viewpoint OF party and posro1ices the

THE CENTRAL MARKET
[Dubuuue Times


Investigation conducted from Des
Moines has developed that the cost Of
living is lower at Dubuque than AT any
other OF the many cities investigated.
The fact ts attributed mainly TO our
central market which keeps down the
cost of garden truck, dairy products.
eggs. poultry. young pigs. etc. So
Mayor Hanna has beer commissioned
TO inspect our market with a view to
establishing a similar institution at
Des Mo!nes
This same idea has been taken up at
La Crosse and Waterloo. There is no
doubt that the market Is a fine thing
for Dubuque. But that duplicates can
be established elsewhere on short no
tice is doubtful. The founding OF the
Dubuque, market ante-dates the civil
war. II is the product OF habit estab-
lished by early settlers who appeared
to be truck gardeners and whose chill
dren followed the vocation their par
ents had found profitable. Farmers in

EVIL OF GosslPlNG,

One of the hardest tasks which
anyone can undertake to perform is
to be silent at the right time. For
most people-and by most we mean
the overwhelming majority-it is al
most impossible to keep fresh gossip.
Whatever vitality concerns a neighbor,
whether it is entirely good or entire
ly bad, must be told to someone be-
fore someone else tells it. Perhaps
it is whispered in "strictest conf
dence," but at any rate told it must
be at once. If secrecy is imposed the
parties mutually understand that they
will both tell it to others under the
same requirement of the secrecy that
takes the whole world into it's con-
fidence. The evil report poured into
the ear demands to be transmitted
and to restrain the tendency requires
more will power than most of us
dream of until we have tried it.
Gossiping is an evil habit and one
that cannot be too highly deprecated.
By means Of ii, stories, innocent in
themselves, are started and gradually
distorted until they become destroy
ers of regulations and the cause of
endless distress. The little unkind
remark, prompted in moment of an
ger, can never be recalled once it is
sent on it's mission of evil doing. And
how often the guilty person wishes
that he might have power to recall
it! But no; once started on its
course, like a bullet from gun, it
cannot be overtaken by the one who
has sent it OH it's way, nor will it
stop until it has spent its force. Is
it not better to endure humiliation
than to take such risks?
Gossiping is vile, unwholesome,
un-Chrjstian practice. 1t is easy to
fall into the habit of telling all one
knows about his neighbors when less
would do. The old, old advice can
not be improved upon: "Rehearse
not again wicked and harsh word
and thou shalt not fare the worse. ~
And again: Hast thou heard a word
against thy neighbor? Let it die
within thee, trusting that it will not
burst thee"

St. Patrick's Church in Rome.

For more than a year the Church
of st. Patrick in Rome has been ris-
ing silently, but quickly and majesti-
cally: from it's foundations in the Via
Ludovisi-so quickly that it will be
ready for opening on next st. Pat
ricll's Day and so anajestically that
the new temple more than promises
to be another gem of ecclesiastical
architecture added to the treasures OF
Rome. The architect is the Cheva-
lier A:istjde Leonori, already famous
for the many beautiful churches erect
ed by him not only in Rome but in
the world. The facade is mainly of
Tlvoli travertine; an ample portal,
rich in pilasters and columns, sur
mounted by a mosaic representing ST.
Patrick receiving his mission from the
Pope, and tanlSed by two inches des-
tined to contain the statues of st.
Bridget and st. Columkille, gives en-
trance to the church, which is APP
preached by eight steps from the
street. Over the portal and cunning
across the whole front is large frieze
of carved arabesques, and upon this
rests a po:tico Of nine arches, i'll the
center of which is to be seen tn coat
of-arms OF the reigning Pontiff, and
above this again rises the large GEN.
trail window. The facade is crowned
by a cornice supported by fifteen
arches with pillars and in the middle
ove:.' the great window, is a mosaic
representing st. Patrick in the act of
blessing. Above the tympanum and
browning the whole edifice rises an
Irish cross in carved stone. The
length of the church, including the
ample vestibule, is about IT'S feet and
the breadth about 70 feet. 1t is divided
into three naves, by large columns
of granite of Baveno with interposed
pilasters; the central nave terminates
in an apse containing the high altar,
and small apses with affairs also close
the minor naves; the roof is fiat and

THE LORiMER DISGRACE.

If there are any senators of the
United States who do not believe in
the election OF senators by direct
vote of the people after all that has
been said in connection with the dis
graceful Lorimer case, all that can
be said is that it is impossible to
shame them into conforming to pop
ular demands. For many years past
u majority Of the states have been
willing to have the constitution
amended SO that popular election of
senators would be possible, but Con-
gress has persistently refused to act
in the matter. In some states meth
DDS are used which practically enable
the people to participate in the cleo
ton of senators. If the Constitution
Of the United States provided for the
direct election of senators the Lor-
inner case would never have been pos
sible, for then such men as Lorimer
would not attempt to get to the Sen-
ate.
Lorimer has been a powerful politi-
cal boss in Chicago for number Of
years But political bosses, while
they may handle few people all the
! time, find it pretty difficult to handle
all of the people any Of the time;
and even with the prestige of his po-
, CT ,,n1itina1 irt T N,.i,,,
would have found it hopeless task
to buy his way to the United States
Senate il he had to deal with all the
people instead of having to influence
a bare majority of the votes in the
Illinois legislature.
There is no mistaking the methods
by which Lorimer managed his cleo
ton. The evidence furnished by the
confessions Of the participants in the
election is conclusive. That it was
money used mlawfnlly that did it the
country is thoroughly convinced Yet
by means of senatorial red tape tho
! contest to unseat Lorlmcr goes on in
the Senate. Unless there are grave
reasons for thinking that he may pos
sbly be innocent, quick action ought
to be taken to GUST him from men,
bership in that body. 1t would be a
valuable lesson to that class OF poll
ticians with submerged morals who
are responsible for most of the ills
of government.
