PittsI1ir0h DisDdtch.

The passage OF a bill greatly modifying
the tariff, by Republican Congress, serves
notice on manufacturers in all departments
of industry that the protective tariff idea,
distinctively for protection, is not in as full
feather with the party of protection as it
has been heretofore.
No matter what standpoint the bill is
viewed from, it looks, like an entering
wedge, and driven. too, by the Republican
party, which will finally shiver the .protec
tective tariff to pieces, and leave onl y such
protection as may be granted by the de-
mand for q revenue.
Manufacturers may not be forced to con-
tend with actual free trade at all. 1t is
hardly possible that they will be. But they
will unquestionably be compelled to face a
tariff before many years that will be even
less satisfactory than the modified rates Of
the new bill which, it is conceded, are not
so bad for American industries as they we're
thought TO be at first glance.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-One OF the last
official acts Of Speaker Keifer was to call up
s,enographer Tyson and demand his res
ignation. The efiicial reporters OF the
House are employed by the year at salary
of IS, 900 per annum. Their work 10 very
bard and exhaustive. They have nothing
to do, however, during the recess Of Con.
crsss but take a vacation. During the
session the reporters are compelled to hire
substitutes TO help them ont. Tyson was
appointed by Keller during the LAST session.
He has not held the place more than year
during which time Congress has been al.
most constantly in session. The expense
he has had in employing assistants has re-
duced his salary TO nominal hgure.
Mr.. Keifer has appointed In his place hi:
nephew, Mr.. Benjamin Gaines, who will
draw from the Treasury nearly $1,000, for

Not the End OF Tariff Revision.

The burden OF taxation will be very con-
siderably reduced; the growing and varied
general manufactures of the country will
be, to an appreciable degree, relieved of the
high duties on their raw materials; the
cost of living, so far as it was affected by
the tariff, will undergo some d,munition;
and what is just now Of very great impor-
tance the whole business community will
be for time released from the uncertainty
and apprehension which the trifiing and
vscillation OF Congress have imposed upon
it. There will be no extraordinary session
of Congress. Capital and enterprise will
have a reasonably fixed and definite set of
conditions to which to adjust themselves.
Certainly the end is not yet for tariff re-
vision. Many unjust and oppressive fes-
lures are still left, either intact or only
partially modified.

The Mysterious Number One" .
Myth.


DUBLIN, March 5.-The prevailing impress
sion among detective officers here who have
been working up the assassination conspir.
ecy case and endeavoring to trace the men,
bers of the so-called "Inyincibles" is that
Number One" is a myth. A leading
member of the detective force, who has
been unusually active in the
last few days in following up a few
of the many clues which has been known
admitted today that he believed number
one" TO be entirely a mythical individual,
created by Informer Carey, and created for
the purpose of making himself appear as q
subordinate in the conspiracy, whereas in
the officers opinion he was in reality chief
officer of the society. 1t is known that
Superintendent Williamson was in con-
ference yesterday with q number OF detec-
tive officers, and that he showed them
several photographs. 1t is surmised there
are portraits OF the other man wanted In
connection with the society, and leads to
the belief that other important arrests will
be made. The suaye que pent policy
adopted by most of the prisoners has con-
vinced the authorities that all suspects who
may be arrested hereafter will require but
little persuasion TO reveal whatever they
know regarding the operations Of the con-
spirato-S and the details Of the conspir'
acy.

OF Value I'm One Respect.
Netp York Herald.

The tariff bill agreed upon by the confer.
epce committee passed the House by 152 to
lis; and thus one great agony is practically
over. We do not see, however, that the
revision" of the tariff thus accomplished
is one upon which there is good reason to
congratulate the country. 1t satisfies no
one who took part in it, and can not fail,
by its utter Inconsistency, to enrage every
one who has at heart any tariff theory Of
any kind. The revision" is of value in
only one respect-it confirms the wisdom
OF the people who in November last decid-
ed that a great number OF Congressman
were unfit for the seats they occupied.

IL Removes Uncertainty.

WIItltHtIV'EIVI 4 IUS0'
The measure is uneven and in some re-
spects unsatisfactory. 1t bears severely
upon the wool growers and upon some Of
the metal interests and il fails to rectify
the harsh Treasury decisions as the Com
mission bill did. But it relieves the people
of seventy millions of direct taxes; it takes
off the burdens which rest upon the banks
and upon business; it protects most Of the
national industries; it cuts down the great
surplus which threatened financial stric-
ture; it removes the uncertainty which
hung like a cloud over the country, and
these positive gains, as we'll as fear OF some
thing worse, induced its general acceptance
and adoption.

until its effects have been thoroughly de.
veloped. The people, no matter how they
may have differed hitherto on details, will
insist that the law shall be given a fair trial

markable. Born of the Tariff Commission,
the revision was re-revised by the Senate
and House committees, then amended by

Better Than Nothing.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Congress in its closing hours managed to
pass bill revising the tariff, and thereby
did good work, for while it pleases but
few it is better than nothing. The effect OF
tariff agitation disturbs business seriously,
and since Congress began the work OF re-
vision almost every branch OF trade has
felt the evil effects of the disturbance. 1t
is well, therefore, that it has been settled.
Business men can now adjust their affairs
10 the new order of things, and 60 ahead
without straining themselves in efforts to
penetrate an uncertain future, which IS
rendered more uncertain when it depends
upon the action of Congress.

ments, and their necessities have driven a
number into the market for stocks. Busi.

have not shown any signs OF improvement.
Roads are bad and hence business is small.
The jobbing trade is sending in small or

as roads improve and tariff legislation

larger dimensions. A large spring business

arrangement very similar to the electoral

Objectionable or exasperating was sparet

are glad, however, that the majority was,

uation is far more favorable to the Democ-
racy than it would be had Democratic OBJ
struction-which most of the Republicans
hoped for and some of them worked for
prevented any revenue legislation at all.

Conld Not Help Itself.
Nclc York World.

Whatever the causes, the fact remains
that the Forty seventh Congress met for its
second session under burden OF popular
disgust such as no previous Congress has
ever had to carry, and which had already
changed ITS efficient majority into a weak
minority of the Forty-eighth Congress
The second session has done nothing what
ever TO relieve the odium the Republican
party sustained from the acts Of the first,
and the last act of Congress was fitly enough
the helpless adoption OF tariff OF which
not one of its advocates professed to be able
to foretell the results either upon revenue
or upon business.

Thought Something Should be Done.

II is humiliating commentary upon the
capacity of Congress for serious legislation
that the new tarin act, which was the one
important subject presented at the begin.
ing of the session, had been delayed until
the very last day and almost the last hour,
and then forced to vote without more
than half a dozen members in either house
understanding its character or effect. The
result is sufficiently satisfactory, for the
preparation of tariff must always be en-
trusted to small number, and the less
tinkering it receives in committee OF the
whole the better it is likely to be. But it
is very evident that the majority voted for
this bill at last, not because they had
confidence in the committee that reported
it so much as because they felt that tariff
OF some kind must be passed.
