TARIFF REVISION.
The Chicago Tribune continues to
demand that the tariff be revised, and
at once. In fact, unless the tariff Is
revised at once the Tribune's only
course is to leave the Republican par
ty, for it. cannot consistently publish
Mitch editorials as the following un
ier the bead of "The Burning Ques
tion," and give its support to a party
that protects "special In'erests," as It
t laf't consents to call the protected
few, by refusing to reform the tariff.
The Tribune says the tariff is "a col
lection of incongruities, Inequali'ies
and abominations." Hear it:
"Manifestly It is revision of the tar
iff. The people will not be content
with a 'staal pat policy. They de
mand justly that something be done,
in the direction of correcting the in
equalities of the present tariff.
"It is iniquitous and an abomina
tion. It has undue protection and fa
voritism for certain classes at the ex
pense of consumers, who are compos
ed of all classes.
"Thfre are three ways in which
the tariff revision can be approached.
One is by the appointment of a tar ff
commission. This means delay. I'

consideration of the question. No

"Write only on one side of Ihe pa

THE REAL ISSUE.
There are two issues, after all,
Above the ones that speech may call
' Or wisdom utter;
Two issues that with me and you
Are most important and the two
Are bread and bn'ter.
Let patriotic banners wave,
Let economic speakers rave;
'Tis not potential.
That art proclaim or Music sing,
The Louf is, after all, tho thing
That's most essential.
Truth seeks some broader meeting
place For breed or clan or tribe or race.
For saint and sinner;
But after all the noise and fuss
The issue paramount with us
Is What for dinner?
New tlu ories we may evolve,
Old governments we may dissolve,
New flags float o'er us,
And Truth may search and Wisdom
think,
Still these two planks of meat and
drink
Are yet. before us.
So let contention hotly wage,
And let Ihe wars of logic rage
In discourse fretted;
When all the clamor is complete
The issue still is what to eat
And how to get it!

business in Chicago. He was anxious
to work unmolested around a depot
where a special officer was engaged to
protect the unwary. The crook one
day walked up behind the officer,
whom lie knew pretty well, and stid
denly reached around and put his
bauds over the officer's eyes.
"Can you see anything now?" asked
the "con" man.
"Not a thing," said the other, as he
raised his hands. The crook removed
his hands, end a twenty dollir gold
piece fell Into each of the officer's

SCIENCE AND GOOSE
Both Predict That Cpming Winter
Will Be a Severe One.
From two points of view, the win
ter that was harbingered by the un
expected snow storm of last Sunday
will he a severe one.
In the first place, farmer folk and
.ttt'i'.in .sailors, who have become by
long and intimato experience familiar
with the phenomena of nature, pre
d'wl, by crude I hough tunnel hues
plausible signs I hut Uie coming win
ter' wilt be a hind one. For instance,
we are told that the following signs
hear out Ibis shivering prediction:
Migratory birds are selecting a very
high altitude in their Southern flight,

if a goose killed a few" days ago was
found to be very blue, which is ac
cording to a farmer up north, a sure
.?lgn that the Borean blasts this win
ter will be unusually strong and bit
'ng These are tvo of the many
-igns that "simple wiseacres" have
observed, and which lead them to the
conclusion that a very cold winter
may bo expected. . ,
The s.ime conclusion u reached
from another, and a more . cieniilic
point of view. .If iheie is such a
thing as porodie weather change, the
evidence deduced from records cov
ering the greaier part of the la -I cen
tury Is strongly 111 lavor ol the pre
diction that tho coming winier will
be about as cold as last winter.
Dr. Oliver L. Fassig, of the Johns
Hopkins University ami director 'of
the local weather bureau, has 'connil
cd a table covering the period of the
last 87 years, which gives the varia
tion above and below the mean tem
perature for each season of each year
within that period, and lie has shown
this diagramatically in his official re
ports. A careful study of this table
and chart shows some interesting
facts. In the first, place, out of a to
tal number of twenty-three very cold
winters six were followed by winters
equally as cold, nine by winters of av
erage temperature and eight by com
paratively warm winter.'. Also, it
shows that, as a rule, few very cold
winters are followed consecutivoy by
relatively warm winters. That is. the
chances are that the severe winter of
last year will very likely be succeed
ed this year by a winter of about the
same average temperature. The
table also indicates that changes in
the temperatures of succeeding win
ters usually take place gradually in
about two years, and rarely as sud
denly as in one year.
It has been held by some sclent'., ts
however, that oscillations of temper
ature do occur with some regularity.
Bruckner, for instance, lias come t
the conclusion that there is a thirty
five-year period of climatic oseilia
tion. He shows by comparative tig
ures that the present Is a relatively
cold, wet period, and that it will con:
tinue, gradually changing to a warm,
dry period, until tho year 1915. A
great many m trologlsts believe that
Bruckner has demonstrated ''lie exist
ence of n cycle of periodicity, with a
high degree of probability. And if
this is so, it seems to give additional
evidence that the coming winter wiil
be severe, though not a record break
