Misuse of Flowers.
One well established, but awkward,
custom in connection with the inauguration
of public officials is the Incumbering
of desks with flowers, often
put together in the form of horseshoes,
wreaths or otl sr designs. To the
thoughtful person this seems a silly
practice. The average man is as
much out of place with a bouquet as
a woman with a cigar. Watch the
next man you see in a parade who
has flowers in his hands, especially if
he is mounted, and observe how utter
ly ill at ease the floral handicap makes I
him appear. In many instances the
flowers sent to public officers come
trom men or companies that expect
to ask and receive favors, to establish
the idea of being generous and
thoughtful with the hope that the senator,
alderman or whoever the recipient
is. may be approached when
his help is needed without "breaking
the ice." At least one Providence
official received flowers at the City
Hall yesterday from a citizen whose
requests for special attentions have
made office-holding burdensome to the
recipient for many months. Verily,
men in political office should fear the
Greeks who bear gifts.?Providence i

Don't Starve the Mind.
How many there are who hare been
very successful in saving money, but j
whose minds are as barren of any- :
thing beautiful as is the hot sand of
the Sahara Desert! These people are j
always ready to invest in land, stocks, i
or houses, but are never able to buy |
books or collect a library.
We know men who started cut a3
bright, cheerful boys, with broad, generous
minds, who have become so
wedded to money-making, so absorbed
in their business, that they cannot
find time for anything else. They J
never travel or visit their friends.
They consider it foolish or extravagant
to go to the opera or a good
play; the daily paper limits the extent
of their reading; recreation of
any kind is relegated to a far-away ,
future, and yet these men are surprised.
when they retire from business
late in life, to find that they have '
nothing to retire to. that they have
destroyed the capacity tor appreciating
the things they thought they
would enjoy.?Success.

Washington, Special.?Speaker Hen- i l
derson and Representative Cannon, of j e
Illinois, called at the Whate House i I
Wednesday. It was relative to the sub- t
ject of Cuban reciprocity and the call | *
led to much expcculative comment, al- , 1
4 I
though no definite details were available
on the nature of the conference, f *
Active canvassing continued, prelimi- ! ?
nary to the third caucus on Cuban re- ,
dprocity to be held Thursday night. I (
The most positive claims were made by j t
those opposed to Representative f
Payne's 20 per cent reciprocity plan, (
that there was & clear majority against 1
it Mr. Payne and his associates did i t
not concede this much and expressed j i
the belief that a concession to Cuba I i
would be ultimately granted. It was 1
said in this connection that Speaker , 1
- .. ... 1 1
Henderson Is now ravoraoie 10 uie pu- ^
sition taken by the majority on the !
ways and means committee.
During the day several members of
the cabinet were called on by Messrs.
Tawney .of the ways and means com- , e
mittee, who has proposed to rebate I
plan as a substitute for Charlrman a
Payne's plan, and Morris, of Mlnne- *
sota. As an outcome of these calls, it
was stated that three members of the
cabinet, namely. Postmaster General (
Payne, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. }
were hopeful of seeing a solution of the
problem which would not endanger j
any American industry. Tbis was con- ; <
s'.rucd in some quarters to shew a di- j '
vision in the cabinet, but it was stated J
by those conversant with the situation
that the attitude of the cabinet, mem- t
bers did not warrant any cuch con- I
struction. ! j
Later in the day. Representative ;
Tawney called at the White House and ,
had a conference lasting nearly an .
hour and a half with the President. It |
developed that Mr. Tawney had told . ?
the President that there was little or
no possibility for the adoption of the
Payre plan by the Republican confer- I
ence and that if it was adopted some 40 ' Republican
members would not consid- j
er themselves bound and would carry |
the question to the floor of the House,
where there would be additional com- |
plications owing to the attitude of the , '
Democratic members. j
The President is understood to have : .
made it clear that he had no intention j .
at p-^sent of sending a special message
to Congress on the subject. The Presi- '
dent expressed the most earnest solicitude
that a satisfactory adjustment bo j
reached by Congress. After hearing
from Mr. Tawney. his associates expressed
the belief that the President I
would accept the rebate proposition if i
Congress would present it to him. They j
were considerably encouraged to hear i
ffr>m \fr Tan-nov that the President ! -
was not laying down any emphatic ul- j
tiraatum in favor of the plan as pre- i
sented by Mr. Payne.
While these conferences were going '
on at the White House. Chairman 1
Payne and members of the ways and j
mean3 committee supporting him were
in conference. This brought about no 1
change in their attitude. One of the
members stated that he was confident
that the Payne reciprocity proposition
commanded a majority of the Republican
members, but that the minority
was so large and was so disposed to
carry the contest into the House that
Mr. Payne and his friends recognized
the seriousness of the situation. However.
there was no disposition to accept
the rebate plan, as it was stated
that this was merely a repetition of
the plan proposed by the head of the
beet sugar organization two months
ago.
