IlepnMicana on the Tariff.
Those gentlemen who Insist that nothing
should be done with respect to the tariff
at the coming session of Congress should
give heed to the following summary of tho
tariff i>lank of the Iowa republican plat
form. adopted yesterday:
"The policy of a protective tariff ts in
dorsed and such changes therein are
favored as from time to time become ad
visable 'through the progress of our in
dustries and their changing relations to the
commerce of the world." Reciprocity is in
dorsed as the natural complement of pro
U'otion. and Its development is urged as
liece.ssftry to the realization of the highest
<?' >mmeretal possibilities."
l.iwa is a republican state, and has two
p<ins whose names are on the list of presi
dential possibilities for l'.XM. Senator Alli
son and CJov. Shaw aro both strong men.
ami thoroughly representative of the re
publicanism of their state and section.
They of course subscribe to this platform
uiton which Mr. Cummins has been nomi
nated for governor. It recognizes, it will
be observed, "the progress of our Indus
tries." as. .Indeed, everybody must, and
that their relations to the commerce of the
world are changing. Tt recommends, there
fore. such changes In schedule rates from
tlm<- to time a3 this progress may make
necessary, keeping the real principle of pro
tect ion ever In view. It likewise recog
nizes In reciprocity "the natural comple
ment of protection." Is not this sound re
publican doctrine, coming l'rom such a
source? if not. why not?
Let heed also be given to the following
paragraph, taken from an Interview with
ex-Senator Thurston, printed In the New
York Sun:
"I think that there will be a revision of
the tariff to meet the changed circum
stances, as the tariff Is something that
needs changing every little while to make
it fit the different needs of the country.
That the republican party will ever change
its historic principle of protection there
seems to be no Indication. I do not think
that it ever will."
Mr. Thurston has not lost his knowledge
of, or his right to speak for, western re
publicanism because of his voluntary retire
ment to private life, lie Is still a factor in
politics, and altogether likely to be an In
fluential figure on the stump In 1004. if
the republicans should select an eastern
man for first place he would be a good
man for second. So that here Is a Ne
braska republican of prominence who rec
ognizes. as do the Iowa republicans, the
necessity for limited tariff revision along
protection lines which shall meet the
changes incident to our industrial growth
at home and our phenomenal Increase of
trade abroad. Is his advice not worth
taking?
It cannot bo asserted too often that no
friend of protection and reciprocity is pro
posing a general revision of the tariff at
this time. But that certain schedules need
revision as the result of the growth they
have facilitated and the Independence they
have conferred Is plain enough, and that
the party In power should do this work as
soon as possible Is suggested by every con
sideration of duty and expediency.
Checking; the I'aternon Red*.
The mayor of Paterson, N. J., has
demonstrated his fitness tor his post by
taking steps to prevent tho rendition of a
so-called play which was to have been pro
duced soon oy the anarchists living in that
city, descriptive of the incidents in the as
sassination of the late King Humbert. It
is well known that Brescl, the assassin,
lived in Paterson and that there he doubt
less received his orders from an organiza
tion of firebrands governed from that city
to proceed to Italy and kill the king. Since
that tragedy he has been lauded by the
Paterson anarchists, and recently a meet
ing was held thero at which Bread's act
was applauded and his memory honored.
No action w.is taken to prevent the holding
of that meeting, and the anarchists of
Paterson have evidently grown bolder, for
they forthwith planned the dramatic rendi
tion of the whole story, Brescl's choice by
lot, his departure for Italy, the search for
opportunity, the slaying "of the monarch
and finally Brescl's death in prison.
Mayor Hinchllffe has the advantage of
being not only the executive of Paterson,
but the owrnr of the theater building in
which the anarchists proposed to give the
play. As landlord he has refused access
to the theater and as mayor he has ordered
the police to see that no one else gives the
reds a chance to perform. This action Is
the result of a conviction that the an
archists were very nearly right when .hey
recently placarded the city with llaming
red posters, declaring "There Is no place
like this In the I'nlted States." Paterson
has obtained an unsavory reputation
through its tolerance of the anarchists,
and It will not thrive on such notoriety.
The performance of a dramatic rendering
of the assassination, as proposed, would be
an Insult to Italy itnd to the self-respect
and s? nse of order of every American citi
zen
Kmperor William is personally acquainted
with all the prominent sculptors in Berlin.
He can put an unfriendly editor In jail, but
If a sculptor chooses to make him look un
prepossessing. It will be very difficult to get
redress. And the emj>eror has his share of
vanity.

A Virginia l.awyer*? Timely Addrena.
The Virginia State Bar Association lis
tened to an able address at Its session
Tuesday at the \\~hite Sulphur Springs by
It president, Judge Lewis. His subject be
ing "Some Notable Cases In the United
State* Supreme Court." the speaker ap
propriately referred to several cases which
had been carried to that tribunal involving
the right of suffrage, and passed then to
some observations as to what the court had
held as to the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution. He said:
"It Is needless to say that neither jf tho
amendments confers affirmatively the right
to vote. This is clear on the face of the
amendments, respectively, and has been so
decided. ? ? ? But that, while it is tru*
that the fifteenth amendment gives no af
firmative right to vote, it may under 3ome
circumstances operate as the Immediate
aource of that right, as. for example, il a
state constitution were to expressly con
fine the right to vote to white men, tne
effect of the amendment would be to an
nul the discriminating word white and to
leave the constitution as though no suoh
discrimination had been attempted.
"But no state, of course. Is likely to do
this; that Is. to make such discriminantjn
in terms. It la. however, to be borne In
mind that a provision may be on Its face
not unconstitutional and yet so framed
that Its administration by the pvbllc au
thorities. representing the state, contra
venes the federal Constitution and thus
produce?, a result which obliges the courts
to declare the provision Itself invalid.
"Among the important problems now
bsfore our constitutional convention none
Is more Important, and perhaps none Is
more difficult, than this question the
elective franchise. Let us hope, however,
that these problems wU\ be wisely and suc
cessfully solved; that the work of the con
vention, when It shall have been finished,
will be free from constitutional 0bJectU)iu
and that It will redound to the good of tho
state and nation."
It Is easily to be seen from this that
Judge Lewis hopes for a straightforward
declaration by the Virginia convention,
and not one of those juggles with language
which several southern states have em
ployed In dealing with the subject of suf
frage, and in an attempt to nullify Indi
rectly a plain provision of constitutional
law. He doos not want to seo his state
enroll itself with North Carolina. Louisiana
and Alabama tn a proceeding which s >und
lawyers in those states and elsewhere ha\o
vigorously declared against.
Proceeding, Judge Lewis then said:
"Akin to the suffrage question Is the all
Important one of fair elections. The Pres
ent election methods In Virginia are In tn
highest degree demoralising, and ought to
be abolished. In many localities the re
sults of elections indicate nothing a3 to tne
will of the voters, but are just what ^"
rupt election officials choose to make them.
The long-continued existence of sucrt a
state of things is intolerable ln a f ..
country, and the. public conscience la awak
enlng on the subject, as well it ? .
until the present methods are gotten r
of Virginia can never hope to resume tne
proud position of leadership she once oc
cupied in the sisterhood of states, or any
thing like It. Men do not gather grapes ot
thorns or figs of thistles, and It is as tiue
today as It was nineteen hundred years
ago that a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit and ought to be hewn down una cast
into the fire."
If this were the deliverance of a native
politician It would not count for much.
Those at whom it is aimed would snj^r at
it as the malicious outgiving of a man who
had failed in some of his purposes. They
would denounce him as a slanderer of his
people, and attempt to carry it off in that
j high and breezy fashion. But it is an emi
i nent lawyer who speaks?the president of
the State Bar Association, accustomed, we
may believe, to choosing his words with
! due regard to their meaning, and *.o selert
? lng his ground of attack carefully. What
he says therefore is calculated tl atttract
; attention, and to show that there '.3 some
' thing else necessary In Virginia besides
purging the polling lists of illiterates be
fore the ballot box can be brought to serve
the ends for which It Is Intended. Judge
Lewis' address should receive thoughtful
consideration in Virginia and elsewhere.
Xew York's Tunnel Nuisance.
i NVw York has a new grievance. It has
discovered, after many years of uncom
| plaining suffering, that the tunnel through
which all railroad trains leave Manhattan
Island Is a menace to health. It Is nor
mally tilled with smoke and cinders and
the air In the cars passing through It Is al
ways foul with the exhalation of lungs and
? poisoned with gases. Efforts to cure the
i nuisance have been brought up short with
the declaration of the health authorities
' ihat the tunnel Is not a menace and that
the railroads, while they refrain from the
burning of soft coal, are not violating the
law. The citizens are wondering what step
now to take, while volunteers are offering
suggestions varying widely In practicabili
ty. One man proposes to tear out the par
titions and to enlarge the air space in the
1 tunnel. Another offers to rid the tunnel of
i smoke by changing the locomotives so that
they will start on tho run with the tank
water highly heated and so avoid the need
i of stoking while In the confined space.
Still another has gravely proposed that
j each locomotive carry a tank of attar of
roses, to be scattered as the train rushes
through, to overcome the odors of eom
i bustion.
Even' visitor to the metropolis is forced
! to note the inadequacy of the means of
transportation. Those who approach from
the south are annoyed by the ferry trip,
' often held back for long periods by Ice and
fog. Those who enter from the east and
west and north must face the tunnel nul- j
sance with such fortitude as the lungs af- j
ford. The lack of bridges across the North j
river and the failure of the railroad man- j
agers to provide against the natural ob- j
stacles on the run up the Island combine j
to render that city the most difficult and |
unpleasant of access of ail the American i
communities. The bridge enterprise has
been checked for many seasons by various
causes, mainly attributed to the desire of
certain corporations to hold matters as
they stand. The radical cure of the tunnel
evil would call for a large expenditure, and
is therefore postponed. The long-suffering
local public may not obtain relief Imme
diately, but it will have the morai support
and the hearty sympathy of the multitudes
from other sections who are compelled to
submit to the unpleasantness of the New
York entrances and exits In the course of
business and travel.
There Is as much trouble in finding naval
officers to serve on the court of inquiry as
in selecting a Jury of acceptable men In a
sensational murder case. Very few mem
bers of the service. It would appear, have
scrupulously refrained from expressing
opinions, and there was apparently some
body present with a long memory whenever
such words were dropped.
The Tammany official financiers have not
only swelled the property assessments In
th* greater metropolis, but have raised
tho tax rate one cent a hundred In Queens,
six cents In Brooklyn, seven cents In Man
hattan and thirteen cents In Richmond.

Death m? a Drawing: Card.
The demand for exciting sensations has
caused people to risk their lives In many
and eccentric ways. A man crawls Into a
barrel and passes through the angry
Niagara rapids while the pulses of the
watchers beat faster as the perilous Jour
ney proceeds. Men and women ascend
high Into the air In balloons and then drop
to earth with parachutes to sustain them,
while the gaping crowds below shrink In a
rapturous horror lest the apparatus fall.
Men dive head foremost from towers Into
shallow basins of water to display their
skill In turning quickly at the moment of
Impact and the spectators thrill In the
presence of Imminent death. At the circus
thousands watch the performer who throws
knives at his partner, standing against a
board, and with mingled interest and dread
calculate tho chances that a swerving
blade may cause a tragedy. Expert marks
men entertain assemblages In the theaters
by shooting at apples placed on the heads
or assistants, who are often little children;
sometimes, to add to the danger and the
consequent attractiveness of the feat,
shooting ft om a mirror sight with the
back to the mark. The latest proposal Is
for a bicyclist to risk hi* life by riding his
wheel over a loop-the-loop course in New
York, doubtless for the delectation of a
great crowd of breathless spectators who
have paid admission fees. The danger Is
very great that the wheel will not keep Its
course and that the rider, hurled away by
the force of the tremendous momentum of
the machine, will be Instantly killed. Ths j
greater the danger In these affairs, the
more apprehensive the public that death
may result from the exhibition, the heavier
patronage la ensured. The fact that men,
have been drowned In the Niagara rapids,
and crushed by falling from balloons and
unreliable parachutes, and mangled la the
basins of the high dives, and killed on the
knife boards, and shot through the brain In
the old-time rifle exhibitions is a strong
reason for the popularity of such forms ot
entertainment. Take away the chance ot
death resulting and there will be no such
degree of public Interest as today warrants
the holding of those displays for profit. No
crowds would gather to see a loaded barrel
so through the rapids, although all the
possible ends of science would be thereby
met equally with the risking of a life. The
law has In several states intervened to
prevent some of these exhibitions. it
should go further and prohibit all forms of
public entertainment where life Is delib
erately risked for the delectation of the
publlo. Let there be a risk of positive
punishment as well as of the penalty of
failure and the business of catering to the
morbid, unwholesome desire of people to
stand in the presence of death will lose Its
attractiveness.

SHOOTING STARS.
Advice Seorned.
"You should be thrifty and lay some
thing aside for a rainy day," said the man
who gives advice ad libitum.
"Mister," said the Kansas farmer, "you
talk like a blame theorist. What we peo
ple need to do is to lay something aside
against a drouth."
A Theory.
"I wonder why children are so quick to
pick up slang?" said the small boy's
mother, disconsolately.
"Probably," answered the serious per
son, "it is because the constant repetition
of such words as 'goo goo' and 'Itchy
kltchy" in infancy gives them a deep-rooted
contempt for words that are In the dic
tionary."
"When yoh sees a real mean man," said
Undo Eben, "It may be dat you orter fee*

A Sea Song.
'Twas the summer of 1898.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
When certain men did congregate
To settle poor Cervera's fate,
His ships were old and slow?
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
They fought a little while that day.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
The Spaniards could not stand the fray
Because they were not built that way.
It took an hour or so.
Yoho. my lads, yoho!
The Spaniards went and lived In peace.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
But the 'Merlcanos would not cease;
They fought and called for the police?
It was a holy show.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
For glory still they fight anew.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
And each one writes a book or two
On what was which and which was who.
And each Is t'other's foe.
Yoho, my lads, yoho!
Pouters In Belgium.
From the New York Tribune.
The Belgians lead the world In their at
tention to municipal art. Where we think
it necessary to cover buildings with garish
and monstrous signs, they exercise inge
nuity and taste and announce their busi
ness by decorative advertisements which
add to the beauty and picturesqueness of
their charming towns. Nor does their busi
ness prosperity .suffer from this regard f?*r
esthetic effect. The merchants and adver
tisers who have entered into the spirit of
the reform which has made such progress
in that busy country, have themselves be
come convinced by experience that they
sacrifice nothing by the exercise of mod
eration in the search for publicity. Com
petition in the production of attractive
signs to be displayed on the premises where
the announced ousiness is conducted has
had admirable results, and created among
business men a desire to display to the
best advantage the architectural character
of their buildings, instead of covering them
with vast expanses of painted boards. For
the regulation of that other class of signs
which are scattered broadcast apart from
the advertiser's place of business a tax is
imposed.
Prise Money and the Navy.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
We think It not unreasonable that the
people should be asking whether the cus
tom of awarding prize money to the offi
cers and men of the navy ought not to be
abolished. That the custom Is a relic ol
the days of pirates and privateers we are
all aware. That in the case of privateers
It possibly should be continued Is fairly
open to debate. But that In the case of
the regular navy its continuance Is of
doubtful value there is not the slightest
reason to disbelieve.
New Baptism Ritual.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Flowers or water will be used instead of
champagne In "baptizing" the new cruiser
Cleveland next month. An exoellent Idea.
A bottle of good champagne could be put to
better use in the case of an invalid and the
new ritual will more perfectly suggest that
the ship belongs to the republic which la
first flower of the army and first gem of
the sea.
