TIRIiFITS FOR THE FAVIIII t, The paths even of those public men who strive lo serve the public honestly i.i*l faithfully are not always strewn with rose*. Our dispa’n'hes yesterday contain ed accounts of the attacks on Lord Salis bury. the British premier, and Mr. Cham berlain. the British Secretary of State for the Colonic* Lord Salisbury wa* ac cused of tilling the office* with member# of lib- family and Air. Chamberlain of profiting by the war which he was chiefly Irstsutncntal tn bringing about—the South African war. There was just a little foundation for Ihe charge* against both of them, (hough not enough to Justify the bitter aitack* which have been made upon them. If the lllltlsh hold them In sufficient esteem lo place them In Ihe very responsible posi tions which they hold they ought not to attempt to bring risen Into disrepute, unices they are sure they have proved them** Sves unworthy of the confidence which hn* been reposed In them. The answer which larrd Balfour mad# for Lord Salisbury was that shere was only oite more member of the Dtt#>r's family In tho present gov. . rnment titan tla-re was In Ihe last, and that he thmighs that If a man show#*! aptLiale for lie public ser vice he should not he kept out of It son ply because ho had a relative who wa* n influential member In the government. Mr. Chamberlain defended himself so sure*ssfully shat he was cheered by Id* friends. He declared that he wa* Intor • sled In only or.e Ann that had received government contracts, and that he hail been a member of that one for more than twenty-three year*. lie expressed the opinion that he had not profited by con tracts growing out of the South African war more than a few pounds, posalhly not more than a few shillings He did not | think therefore that he could be accused, with any show of Justice, with profttlng by the war In South Africa. It Is a fad that there I* too great read iness not only In Great Britain, but also In this and other countries, to suspect public nyn of wrong doing—of using ritelr position lo All their pocket*. Doubtless there are public, men who do uso their position* for private gain, hut because thero are a few who are unworthy of respect It doesn't follow that the great I majority of them are lacking in patriot ism and honesty.

DECEMBER 12. 1000. AND iunf.n. The minority of the Ways and Means Committee does not agree to the ta*-re duction bill which the majority ha agreed to report. It thinks that the te dutlon In the war tales should be $?•- •c Instead of SIO.fIUO.OOO. ua ptuvlded In the hill. There Is some ground for suspicion that the bill I* framed no as to pay some po litical debts which the Republicans con tracted during the campaign. For In* star e, what good argument Is there for taking a pert of the tax off of beer* It Is asserted that the brewers are doing very well and the saloons appear to be prospering Are there not other war taxes whlefti coul I be removed with vastly more benefit to the people? If there are not there are custom* taxes which could >* reduced with great benefit to the country’s trade. For Instance, there Is the fix on hide*. The shoe manufacturing Industry Is one of the greatest In the country. The tax on hides, however, keeps It restricted It is true that .\merlcan sho are finding a market In other countries because of their superiority, but If there were no duty* on hides the foreign shoe trade of this country would be enormous. Our exports of ho< amount to about 94 ron.ooo m year. If there were no tax on hides it would amount to svi.OOO.flflfl—*t least that Is the claim made by manufac turers of hhoes. The exports of Ameri can leather amount to many million* of dollar* annually All of this leather would be sold at home, and m nufactur*d into >-hoo*, and the ahnes exported if American bather could be bought cheaply at home as It can abroad. Ow ing to the tariff the foreign manufacturer of shoes can buy American leather from 5 to l* 1 per cent, cheaper than the Ameri can manufacturers can buy It. It can be ie.idily een. therefore, what a great ad vantage the foreign manufjeturer ha* Take off the hide tax and there would be work In American shoe factories for many thousands more workmen. Is It not bet ter to legislate in the direction of greater ‘ndustrie* rather than cheaper The Ways and Means Committee and ©* not seem to think so. or it would reduce the tariff on hides rather than the tax on beer. TIIK VOTB o* Tun TREATY. There seem* to be considerable doubt a? to how the vote on the question of the ratification of the Hay-Fauncafots treaty will stand. It I* to be taken to-morrow. The frtenda of the treaty hope that It will be In favor of ratification without amend ment. There is one thing In connection with the treaty which wK iwm to have been given very much attention by those who Insist that It shall be so amended that the United Htwtes will have the right to close the canal against their enemies should It liecomo necessary to do so to protect ther Interests. It U that Nica ragua bus treaties with a number of the European Power* In which she agrees to make no concession* to the United Kmte for canal purpose* which do not insure them “free navigation" of the <vinnl. U is given out that Nicaragua in tend* to stand by these treaties. If that I* the stand she take* of what benefit will it be to the United States to have the treaty so amended a* to give them the right to fortify the canal? Nicaragua will not permit the canal to bo cut through her territory unlese all the Powers with which she has treaties are given the right of "free navigation" of it. It is true she might secure a modification of her treat ies, but It is hardly probable she would undertake to do so. or that she would successful f ahe did. The Powers of Kurope want the canal to bo neutral. None of them seem to be taking very much Interest in it now, but they will if It become* apparent that there is danger that the rights they claim will be In terfered with.

On last Tuesday, at one of the test known hotels, a young man committed suicide.

Main .al fever Is the greatest scourge along the west coast of Africa, say* the Ni w York Butt. but the country has us ually. ttsough not always, been spared visitation* of yellow fever, which Is far more prevalent along lla- trop4cat west ern coast of the Atlantic than on the eastern side of that oc£an.

The same may be said about wearing cues. No gentlem in In China would go without a cue any more than a gentlem n wind wear .aie In this country. It I* not true th.l Chi nese who cut off I heir cue* are executed. They are not punished In any way ex ept by common contempt. Men without cues are In sociil disgrace.
