Another ‘‘hunch" was given the Judge Landis $29,000,000 Standard OH decision case this week, when the government's petition for a rehearing was overruled. John W. Kern, B. F. Shivley, L. Ert Slack and John E. Lamb •re candidates for U. 8. Senator to succeed James Hemenway, republican. Either of the first three gentlemen would be satisfactory to the democrats of this section •f the state, but they do not favor Mr. Lamb. It would seem that the party owes the place to Mr. Kern, who has served his party perhaps more than either of the ethers, with B. F. Shivley second In point of service. Either are good clean men who may be depended upon to be on the side of the people at all times and under •11 circumstances. Give us Kern am first choice and Shivley as second choice.

HEDGING ALREADY.

The newspapers are recording the lesumption of various business activities since the election. That stimulated by a prudent decision at the polls is altogether healthy and natural. „ It is reasonable to expect, in the light of that decision, an increase of public confidence in the future of the country and in the growth of its industries and trade. If there be no further ' disturbance from Washington there is now good assurance of a gradual return to prosperity. Yet it is well to remember that a return of prosperity, after a panic, is always slow. It is not possible to heal all the wounds at once. It would be unfair to the Republican party and Mr. Taft to expect Buch a miracle , Most of us remember the winter of 1896-97. The hopes that after McKinley's election prosperity would return at once and in full tide were disappointed. There was no instantaneous revival of business. Full confidence returned gradually. It was two years before the nation at large felt that it was fufty prosperous.

In (act. only when they found by experience that their prosperity was too broad and deep to be ruined by war were the people fully convinced. There Is a prospect that the National Government will again confine itself to the due process of law ;and will abstain from stump-spealc-lng. Hence there is every reason to be hopeful and to plan with confidence for the future, llut it must be remembered that confidence is a plant •of slow growth. The order of the day is to go forward courageously but with caution, and not to expject too much.— Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Tariff Revision Men Hear Talk on Boose-Statesmen Flook to Hot Springs—Woodson’s Faltb in the Future. Washington, Nov. 13.—The wave of prohibition which, it is alleged, has spread over the country, epparently has had little effect on the consumption of alcoholic liquors and spiritous drinks, according to evidence brought out at yesterday’s hearing on the proposed tariff revision before the house committee on ways and means. It is apparent, too, that the liquor interests are, on the whole, well satisfied with the present tariff on spirits, wines and ether beverages, as tbe wine growers and importers were practically the only Interests represented at the bearing Boutell Never "Smiles." The morning session was enlivened by a sharp, but good natnred, colloquy between Percy T. Morgan, representing the wine growing interests of California, and Representative Boutell, of Illinois. Morgan was telling the committee why the, regulations of the Dlngley tariff covering the importation of still wines should also apply to those wines Imported from countries with which the United States lias reciprocity treaties. Addressing. Boutell,. Morgan said: "My contention Is that wines can be imported under the present reciprocity arrangements up to 24 per cent which is 48 proof, while tbe whisky you yourself drink is only 85 proof,” “The whisky I drink is’ut any proof,” was BouteN’e quick rejoinder. "You tnay take some occasionally for medicinal purposes,” said Morgan. “I never take any." replied Boutell. Does Champ Speak aa an Expert? Morgau insisted that there should be a differential in the reciprocity treaties against “fortified" wines. Champ Clark, prominently spoken of as the successor of John Sharp Williams as minority leader on tbe floor of tbe bouse, was present for the first time at the heariugs as a member of the committee. W. B. Hildreth, of New York, a champagne expert, declared that the cost of making wines In tills j , country was much greater, than tons that of producing French 'Wines and chninpagnes. He was telling the eofnmlttee that citizens of the United States only pay for the French gabels, •when Clark remarked "There are not a thousand men hi the United States who, after they have had three drinks, can tell What they are drinking." L. J.’Vance, of New York, complained of reciprocity beeiuise it reduced the duty oo foreign wines $2 per case, which, enabled foreign wine producers to use £at $2 for advertising purposes, and Ve them nu advantage over domestic producers. ,**■* They Ank for a pecrcase.
