Mr. Gormen, who is spending a few days in New York, expresses the opinion over there that unless the republicans them- selves delay the matter by their disagree- ments, the tariff bill will become a law by July 1. This is an important announce- ment, and adds to the assurances already. giver on the democratic side of the Senate chamber that no filibustering tactics will be resorted to by the opposition. The whole case, therefore, is in the hands of the friend= of the measure, and they will be expected to expedite their work as much @ pssible. But the term “the friends of the meas- ure” calls for an explanation. Friends of which measure? Of the Dingley bill, drawn with care by competent men, who gave months to their work? Or the Ding- ley bill as amended by three or four Sen- ators, sitting in seclusion in a hotel parlor for several weeks, and grafting to meet individual views and isolated interests? The question is a very important one. The country and would But it does nor could it profit by, a bill than upon just and demands a tariff bill, be glad to get it right away. want, not 1 meet the expectations of the and enable its authors and the in power to champion the work on ump, will be justified in consuming enough in the Senate to force the en- ent of such a measure, and presum- will do so. The amendments to y bill represent as yet only the tons of a very few men.

The amended hedule may be mentioned as a per- so extraordinary and unwise, th such evident marks of having lictated the sugar trust, that its on inte law would inevitably cost re- not only the state elections but the next national House of Kepresentatives and the next presiden- tial contest. While delay is not desirable, there is yet much work for the republicans to do, and they should set about it with the determi- Ration to do it thoroughly. Better keep the country waiting a TeW weeks longer, and then give it a sound and defensible re, than hurry up the work and it excusable and necessary for the people at the polls to order it undone at the earliest practicable day. —_—__+ e+ ____ Paper Telegraph Poles. There is apparently no end to the uses to which paper can be put in this age of utilization and invention. Paper buckets ued the old-fashiored house-wives. hen paper car-wheels did as much for the nechanicians. Paper hosiery more recently guve the haberdashiery market a shiver of ehension and revived the thrills that through society when paper collars 1 a vogue. The latest addition to party the vonty of this year, mea’ ma ay ran P rtvire, so to speak, of this irre- pressibie material is the making of tele- graph and telephone poles. Such poles are in the market and are reported to be *h and reliable, resisting all weathers and safely bearing their burdens for eco- al periods. There is a gleam of hope in this announcement for a public that has long suffered from the sight of ugly, crook- ed poles standing at all angles and holding up their weight of wires so wearily as to pire feelings of pity as well as fear in those beholding them. If poles must dis- ure the landscape they should be as un- ionable as possible, and perhaps these poles supply a long-felt want. But r introduction will not lessen the gen- eral demand that all the poles should be taken down and the wires they now carry buried in conduits. Perhaps some inventive us may yet discover that paper con- duits can be made to stand the tests of service beneath the grovnd. But whether aper or terra-cotta or any other materi- © conduits will be had and ultimately re city that keeps pace with the times will rers.it a yard of electric wire to encumber the air. —_++e—___ There is no doubt that time changes a jaan's opinions. No man can tell exactly what a lapse of four years may do to his Senuments on the subject of civil service. soe it would have been unreasonable to sup- bese that the Senate would permit any such violation of precedent as the accept- #bce Cf an undistoried tariff bill —> «= A National Grant Monument. - The recent dedication of the Grant tomb in New York brings to mind once more the fact that there is today no statue or monu- ment standing In tpis city in honor of the soldier-President. Since his death other public monuments have been erected here, honoring less famous and worthy men, and Various projects have been advanced from time to time for the,accomplishment of an appropriate commemoration of Grant, but to no effect. A statue has been presented by a military organization to the govern- ment, to be located within the rotunda of the Capitol, but the committee in charge of such matters decided upon inspection that the work was not worthy of such ‘reatment, being a decidedly poor portrait of the subject, and the rejected work now es in clumsy boxes at the eastern en- trance of the great dome room. This is all that exists today in this city in honor of one of the greatest citizens of the Ration, tater fame is inseparably associated with Washington, which was his official home for years and stands for the great republic that was saved by his genius. A theory seems to prevail that it is proper for a nation to wait a certain period after & man has died before immortalizing his sNvices in some aftistic conception. Dec- ades pass and new generations arise. The heroes are borne in mind by the freshness of their deeds for a time and then there arises @ tardy sentiment that produces a still more tardy creation in honor of the states- man, soldier or patriot. Sometimes it is a sense of economy that causes this delay, as though a nation could afford to-be. parsi- mogious when it comes to recognizing the merits and services of its great dead and spreading the lesson of good lives. Some- times it is sheer neglectfulness, sometimes an inability on the part of those’ on whom falls the task of decision to reach a satis- factory conclusion. There should exist in the case of a monument to Grant none of these reasons for delay. Whether the me- morial take the form of a statue, a monu- ment, a bridge, a building or an endow- ment for some broadly charitable or educa- tional purpose, the duty remains clear and imperative, that whatever the nation con- cludes to do should find its accomplishment here, at the capital city, and should be brought to existence without further delay. ‘The fact that New York has at last, tardily but surely, given to the body of Grant an appropriate entombment, should stimulate the national pride into doing something finer than has ever yet been attempted in this line. Other cities have erected statues of Grant. Brooklyn now possesses a splen- did equestriar representation, given by the Union League Club. St. Louis provided such a memorial as early as 1888. At Ga- lena, Ills., where Grant lived before the war, is a fine statue, given to the city by H. H. Kohlsaat, the Chicago journalist. And even the small city of Ironton, Mo., where Grant feceived his commission as brigadier general, boasts of a fine memorial in bronze, erected by the survivors of the 21st Illinois regiment, which Grant com- manded. These facts make the nation’s neglect the more striking. Of all the cities in the coun- try that should possess an adequate me- morial in honor of one of the greatest of Americans Washington, typifying by its existence today as the-capital of a reunited republic the great services rendered by Grant, stands foremost. —_+ + + ____ There may be some little comfort in re- flecting that the present position of the Washington Base Ball Club gives it a bril- ant opportunity to show what it can do in an up-hill fight. —— +e —___ Tt is doubtful whether any prosperity that the country can attain will be so great that Mr. Bryan will believe that it would not have been more extensive under free silver. ————++e—___ In connection with the result of the fight between Greece and Turkey, the “I-told- you-so” sentiment is rather more conspic- uous and authentic than usual. —_++e—____ The Greek nation has realized that this is an era of civilization in which a pedigree cannot be relied upon to command success. > eo —_____ There surely ought te be a demand for expert Kentucky talent in the internal rev- enue department. ——___ ++ —___ SHOOTING STARS. Not an Inappropriate Name. “I presume,” said the talkative man to his seat-mate in the railway train, “from your manner and conversation, that you have family ties.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Meekton; “I s’pose you might as well call em that. I buy ‘em for yself. but my wife and the girls all wear "em whenever they feel like it.” Overlooked. While taxing various luxuries On which these profits vast are made, Why skip the strange illusive drink That's known as “circus lemonade?” Consideration. “I once owned some real estate,” said the man whose manner stowed that he is easily imposed upon. “It was a small house and a large lot.” “Did you have good terants?” welt they were nice people in some way “Did they pay promptly?” “No, they never liked to bothered about monty. Sa they sed rabies Me to come around and pick all the flowers I wanted.’ A Comparison. “No,” said Mr. Cumrox, pensively, “it isn’t the amount of time that a thing takes that regulates its importance.” “What made you think of that?” in- quired his wife. “Our daughter. When graduation day comes it'll only take her fifieen or twenty minutes to stand up and inform the public about ‘Tne Inconsistencies of Modern Thought and the Ultimate Destiny of the Human Race.’ But it'll take her half an hour or more to make up her mind as to what kind of syrup she wants in her soda water.” A Modern Mood. Folks did for themselves in the days that are gone, But ye must have machinery now. Ye mist go it on rollers while mowin’ the lawn, And lots employ steam fur to plow. An’ these new-fangled reapers I view weth alarm, Tell I long ter forsake the hull scene, An’ stop all this worry an’ sell off the farm, An’ buy me a flyin’ machine. When summer comes back an’ the woods are a-thrill, An’ the flowers are noddin’ so gay, When the hoss sorter scowls ez ye start up the hill, An’ all nature invites ve ter play, I'm tempted by weather whose indolent charm, Makes me wish thet all life were serene, Ter go back on workin’ an’ sell off the farm, An’ buy me a flyin’ machine.

In this age of mechanics they'd say I did harm Ter loaf in the ways that we've seen, So I reckon I might as well sell off the farm An’ buy me a flyin’ machine. ———+ee—___ ‘The Sugar Trust and the Senate.
