AUSEXCE OF LOBBYISTS.
One of the curious things about
the present congress is the compara
tive absence of lobbyists. Usually
.while congress is in session the lob
byists overrun the eapitol, while this
session the law-makers have not, to
a great extent, been hampered by
them. Commenting on this situa
tion the Charlotte Observer says:
Writing in Harper's Weekly, Mr.
E- G. Lowry, a well-known Washing
ton correspondent, observes, as the
most curious thing about the pres
ent, congress, that it. differs from all
other tariff-revision sessions in the
memory of living Washington with
regard to the absence ol those who
would be direcllv affected by tariff
changes. "At this time, two years
ago," he recalls, ' when the Piiviie
Aldrich bill was being framed, Wash
ington hotels were full to over-riin-ring
with men seeking tariff favors
or beseeching congress not to deprive
them of the advantages they already
enjoved. Manv of tnem came here
in March and staved through until
the end of the session in August.
They went to the eapitol every day.
First they stormed the wavs and
means committee and the members
of the house, then they transferred
their activities to the senate and
the finance committee." The prob
able explanation the correspondent
believes to be this: "AH large ben
eficiaries of the tariff have excellent
sources of information about what,
congress will do and what it will not
do. It would seem from their pres
ent inactivity that they have been
given definite assurances that what
ever tariff-revision bills the demo
cratic house may enact will be pigeon-holed
by the republican senate."
If the republican senate kills any
really good tariff legislation and
the insurgent republican senators
look upon some of the best yet pro
posed with no more favor than the
stand-patters do the democratic
house leaders need not worry them
selves. Politically the situation will
be all the better for them. It is al
most certain, however, that even if
there were a democratic congress in
both branches and a democratic pres
ident, tariff lobbyists would be much
fewer around the eapitol than repub
lican congresses have seen. The
democratic party hot. only repudiates
extravagant protection, but it is
much purer than the republican
party unfortunately about In the
same proportion that for many years
it has had less sense.
Washington hotel-keepers cannot
regard democratic tariff revision with
favor.,. Republican tariff revision
always upward Is the thing for
tnem.
' We rather suspect the special in
terests which are responsible for
most of the lobbying, know that,
democrats are fresh from the people,
that they were elected to do certain
things and that they are going to do
them. Let there be any deflection
from the democratic ranks, or any
serious party dissensions and we im
agine these people would flock to the
eapitol as before. : The business-like
and determined way the democrats
have gone to work has been notifica
tion to them that their presence is
not wanted.
COWS AM SNAKES.'
Did you know that suufces wont
bite cows, or at least that cows are
not afraid ot them and never suffer
from snakebites? The Monroe En
quirer, supported by trustworthy tes
timony, savs they do not. Here is
what The Enquirer savs:
Did you ever hear of a cow being
bitten by a snake? Maybe you did,
but it was only a report, Something
else caused the swelling you thought
was the bite of a snake. At least
that is what a gentleman who ob
serves things and has handled cattle
for a long time savs, and he savs.
too. that lie would be willing to turn
the finest cow he ever owned into a
pasture in which there was a rattle
snake on everv square yard of land.
cow in a pasture goes lino the very
places most infeslcd by snakes, puts
her nose right into the grass, weeds,
and briars where snakes are found
and is naturally more exposed to
snakes than any other animal, hut
vou never saw n cow shying around n
snake-infested place, never saw her
show anv signs of fear of a snake.
like a horse does. A cow has aliso-
lutelv no fear of a snake, but they do
sav that a snake is mortally afraid of
a cow and will make most frantic ef
forts to get awnv from it, and if the
nake cannot get away and the cow
comes along and blows its breath on
the snake that snake will be just as
still as if it was made of stone. Tne
great law of nature, which is perfect,
protects the cow. If there was war
between the cow and snake then the
cow in the .very act of getting her
living would be exposed to the great
est danger and would surrender her
life in getting her daily food. The
cow was not made to protect herself
or young against the snake, but was
so made as to protect herself against
the beast of prey.
The Charlotte Chronicle, which
knows all about cows and hogs, adds
this:
What Farmer Ashcraft says about
the tear of the snake for a cow Is
true. The same applies .to a hog
Turn a hog into a pasture and every
snake will make tor its hole. The
hog considers the rattle snake the
most delicious morsel In the world,
mil never fails to give chase. Over-
nking the snake, It plant sits sharp
hoots in the snakes head, then pio-
eeds to pull its victim into hits.
We suppose these two farmers
know what they are talking about
and that they are not afraid of being
classed as nature-fakers by a certain
eminent authority.

The proof of this latter assertion lies
in the tact that American nutnufaclur

Greatest Good to Greatest Number
the Basis of Tariff Reform.
The standpatters want protection for
what there is In It for themselves and
their friends. Those who believe in
tariff 'reform want the tariff revised
downward for the same reason. The
tariff reformers have right on their
side, however, because the number of
people who profit by protection Is eery
small compared by the lowering of the.
tariff.
The reatest good to the greatest
number is In fundamental democratic
doctrine. The government must be so
conducted as to conserve the interests
of the many and not solely for the
purpose of placing money in the pock
ets of the few. Therefore, the tariff
reformers are right and tfi e reaction
aries and standpatters are. wrong.
Tariff reform will help the great ma
jority of the counery'B people and it
will not deprive the few protected
manufacturers of a dollar to which
they are honestly entitled. It will re-
