CONFESSION OF
TILLMAN

GAS compared with the Republicans
VIC are an unframed mob, with little
knowledge of parliamentary law and
with very little effective knowledge Of
the rules.
Senator Tillman, Democratic senator
from South Carolina, spoke these words
in an address to the United States Sen-
ate. In the light of subsequent events
they have become a warning and a
prophecy.
The laws enacted during the last two
years are crude and faulty to the last
degree. As illustrative Of this fact, a
few notable examples of the many
blunders contained in the tariff bill
alone have been hitherto published.
LEST we forget a brief summary
of these examples follows, merely to
emphasize the general principle of in
accuracy prevailing in the Democratic
laws:
l.. The tariff bill as a whole was a
bluDder, because it was a revenue
measure that produced many millions
of dollars less than were needed, a de-
pleted treasury being the result.
2. The provision for a five per cent
discount in duties on merchandise inn
ported in American vessels, involving
millions of dollars, was declared mop
erative by the encouragement over a
year ago, and went to the Court of
Customs Appeals.
3. Another provision affecting humid
reds of business concerns is before the
same court because of the insertion of
an obscure phrase that neither Gus
toms officials, lawyers nor business
men affected could understand.
4. A vital provision in the income
tax law, a part of the tariff bill, re-
lating to deductions allowed in com
putting gross income, must GO to the
courts like hundreds of others.
5. The entire income tax provision
has been pronounced by the Taxation
Committee of the American Bar asso-
citation, a nonpartisan body, "as open
to the gravest objections both in strue.
ture and specific defects twenty-five
imperfections being pointed out.
8. Necessity for amending this law
has forced administration officials to
the work Of formulating a report of
its crudities, as a basis for amendment
by Congress.
On innumerable occasions during the
debate on the tariff and other bills,
Republican Floor Leader James R..
Mann of Illinois cautioned the MAORI
ty to use greater care, and gave one
reason for the dividing line between
the two sides of the House as Ga lack
OF information ON the part of the
Democrats.
Like Senator Tillman's utterance,
these words have assumed prophetic
meaning. Literally hundreds of other
examples have peer referred to because
they show the logical results that fol
lowed the employment of slovenly, in
accurate methods of legislation.
Practically every important statute
passed by the present administration
is likewise honeycombed with needless
imperfeetions, that must be corrected
by expensive legal procedure or legis-
lative action. They are facts with
which everyone should become familiar
and with that object in view the sub
ject win be dealt with in future arti'
cles.

acquired a solid covering or crust, which
for a long time remained at a high tenn
perature.
The different elements of which the
chemical combinations are formed were
at that time hoating above the earths
covering in the form uf NaI'or. When the
temperature lowered sufficiently these eie-
ments gradually combined. When there
came a still lower degree OF temperature

oceans This is why the waters OF tiie
seas are salt, and why this saltiness IS
derived not only from ordinary sat- oul
from many other substances.
Common salt gives the sea three-fouftis
of its sallnity. The other marine SUD

together. with gold and silver.
The total saiinity of the sea is placed
at thirty-four grams to a little over
quart In other words, if something IN
excess OF quart of water drawn direct
ly from the ocean be evaporated there
will be residue of thirty-four grams OF
a mixture of all the different salts OF the
sea, and three-fourths of that mixture
will be common salt. The immense mass
OF salts held i'll solution in the sea would
cover many squ;.It 'lousand miles of the
earth's surface 1.,s total volume of the
European continent above the level OF the
sea is only one-third as great as the block
of salt produced by the evaporation OF the
oceans would be could it he laid out as q
solid.
This enormous wealth of saline clements d
is not uniformly distributed among the
different seas of the globe. There are,
therefore, seas that are not so salt as
others. The warm seas, which receive
little fresh water from rivers. more
salt than those receiving floods that are
free from salt.

wide and is bordered by a stone balus-
trade fit for the palace of king.
At the back of this promenade is a
long arcaded structure about fifteen
feet wide backed by the stores. This
is about twenty feet high. 1t is paved
with porcelain tiles and it runs around
the whole espIanade from one end to
the other. The esplanade outside is
thirty or forty feet wide. At the ends
of the arcades and in the middle are
mosque-like domes of stained glass
that blaze with electric lights during
the evenings. and in the front of the
stores is another promenade upheld by
magnificent columns. At the back OF
the latter are the plate glass windows
of the shops, which compare favorab bly,
with the best in Paris, New York or
London. The most of the goods are
shown in the windows and walking
along the corridor is like going through
the treasure vaults of a king. Indeed,
doubt whether there is richer place
upon earth. in proportion to its popu-
lation, than this little city. The most

in the water just as at our own seaside
resorts. Indeed, the views on the beach
our SeaShores. Both sexes go bathing
together, and in this land from where
the tango sprang the people are de-
voted to pleasure. They get their run,
however. in a more refined way than we
do. The seaside has none of the crazy
costumes or loud dressing of our sea-
side resorts. The bathing suits are
usually of black or dark blue, and they
are modest of cut. There is no loud
dressing either on the promenade or on
the beach. and on the beach as rule
the groups are either family parties, or,
if bathing, are composed of only one
sex.
The dressing rooms are under the
esplanade. and the bathers walk
through the crowds in the tents down
to the ocean. Along the shore are racks
of towels, and the bather wipes Off ms
face, arms and feet when he comes out.
The chief bathing hours are from 10
to 12 in the morning. In the afternoon
you will seldom see any one in the
water, and at that time and in the
evening there are many strolllng up
and down the Rambla anxious to show
their fine clothes, to see and be seen.
The crowds on the Rambla are worth
seeing. 1 know of no place where you
can meet so many fine-looking, we'll
dressed people at one time. The clothes
of the men look as though they had
just come out of the shop. and the
shoes, stockings. neckties and suit OF
each pronenader match in color. The
women have Paris gowns and there are
scores of dresses that cost a hun
dred dollars and upward apiece, not
withstanding by the fashionable cut
they scarce touch the shoetops. There
are hats that would be cheap at $50
apiece, and under them you may see
jewels galore. These Argentine girls
know how to wear their fine clothes. ana
the most of them are wonderfully
beautiful. They have dark liquid eyes,
long black hair and clear compilations
the color of cream. Most of them are
we'll formed. They are tall and digni-
fed, and they know how to walk. They
are not bashful or backward. They are
not immodest, but they seem to be
perfectly sure of themselves, and to be
able to hold their own anywhere. Many
of them have been educated in Europe
and in culture and bearing they would
stand high anywhere in the world.
The older people run to fat. There
are gouty old men and plump dowagers
who, if sold at their weight in gold,
would need a Croesus to buy. The flesh
of the older women lacks solidity. and
their faces are pasty. They look as

Last evening | strolled into the Casino
and watched the men gambling. Two
tables were going, and one hundred men
and women were sitting about them with
great piles of chips before them. The
chips were of mother of pearl of different
coiors They ranged in value from s.
to 500, and l could see that a thousand
dollars or so changed hands at every
shuttle of the cards. The croupiers,
dressed in black, were as sober-looklng
as parsons They announced the results
in a singsong way that gave nc indica-
ton of the amount staked on the throw.
and the people took their losses and gains
without demonstration. There are other
gambling rooms at the club, and. in fact,
high play goes at many places over
this country. The Casino at Mar del
Plata has seven saloons for roulette. bac-
carat. poker and whist. There is high
play at the clubs in Buenos Aires. and at
the Tigre. one of the fashionable suburbs
situated on the islands nearby. are clubs
where tens OF thousands of dollars are
sometimes staked on the turn Of the
wheel. The same is true of the Jockey
Club, which is made up of about 1000
o the richest of the Argentinos. and
gambling in a small way goes on at the
other clubs which are less fashionable.

though if you pressed your thumb
into them the dent would stay. They
seem putty-f1eShed.
The Argentine girls do not object to
having their photographs taken. In
deed buying snapshots of yourself and
your friends is one of the chief occu-
pations of the crowd on the Rambla.
There are half dozen photographers
who have their cameras so set that
they can take pictures of the crowd
as it passes. They snap individuals and
groups. and these are exposed in the
windows the next day. You can look
over a whole window containing sew
eral hundred such pictures of postal
card size, and above them will be the
dates are now those of yesterday, and
they represent the people who are
here at the seaside You can buy
a, picture of your sweetheart or of any
girl you would like to have for a sweet
heart by paying for her sum equal
to As cents of our money, and if you
wish a picture of yourself SO taken
they will print you a dozen for eight
Argentine dollars. The photographing
is all done on speculation. the idea
being that when one sees a photograph
of himself or his friends he will order
the picture.
The chief hours for strolling about
the Rambla are just before breakfast
and dinner. BY breakfast l mean the
noon meal, which begins at about l
o'clock. You have in addition to this
only coffee and rolls upon rising, and
a dinner which comes at $40 or in the
evening. From IL to l the esplanade
is filled with hundreds of the best class
of the Argentinos. The girls usually
walk in groups by themselves and the
young men by themselves.
Now and then you see a young dandy
strutting along looking as though he
owned the whole Argentine Republic.
and behind him perhaps a young mar
ried couple who have come to cele-
brate their honeymoon at the shore.
There are many middle-aged men, all
carefully dressed. moving along IN
groups chatting and talking. and now
and then a family or young girls with
their brothers and cousins. At the
same time the seats on the esplanade
are filed with parties chatting. and
other parties are drinking tea or en-
joying the sights of the beach. The
crowd is more like great family than
the stiff and staid one at Bar Harbor.
Nearly every one seems to know every
one else, and the atmosphere is that OF
good humor and pleasure.

market for the scrap and waste of our
United States factories. 1t would show
you that the people demand the best of
everything that is made and that they
have the money to pay for all that they
want. In these shops are exhibited the
latest models of fashions from Paris
The millinery displays have hats that
cost no ends of dollars and in the jew
elry shops are diamonds and pearls so
set that a single ornament would cost

more magnificent jewelry. In one win
dow they have diamond tiaras and COL
lars of emeralds and diamonds; in an
other there are solitaireS as big the
nail of my thumb and iridescent pearls
twice the size of 1narrowfat peas. There
are also emeralds and rubies of Won
derful beauty and many new creations
in combinations of precious stones.
Some of the collars are made of emer-
aids and diamonds, in which the emer-
aids run in a row through the center
with diamonds of pure water above and
below. There are sapphire and ruby
collars made the same way and Won
derful knots of diamonds and bracelets
and brooches of the costliest stones
There are four or five shops of this
kind on the Rambla. and nearly all are
branches of the large jewelry estab-
1ishments of Buenos. Aires, Paris and
London.
There are candy eSta DliShmentS IN
which the boxes of confectionery are
displayed in caskets SO beautifully in
laid that one may give his sweetheart
a present worth many dollars, although
the contents are only sweets. Some of
the candy is imported from Paris, and
the boxes are of ivory, of embossed
leather work, and of satin and silk
1t is the same with other wares. The
cheapest things are so put up that they
cost a great deal There are no Cheap
John shops with pinchbeck jewelry
such as one finds at Atlantic City. The
goods are displayed for the rich, and
that so as to show that price is no OBJ
ject. In fact, there are no marked
prices in any of the shops, and you are
expected to pay what is asked. Every
thing for sale on the Ramb1a is high,
and the purses of the visitors are long.
The walk along the Rambla is in full
view of the sea. You look over the bill
lows of the southern Atlantic as they
roll in on the sand, and between you
and the ocean are hundreds of booths
or tents rooted with canvas. These are
filled with people who sit and chat and
have little tea parties in sight of the

The woman is the widow of country

her new proteges will cost her at least
500 week. There is. moreover, no pros

the end of the war. and there might
