Rumors Respecting Mr. Randall
There are rumors that Mr.. RandallwiH
oppose any attempt to reduce the tarin.
If be does it is probable that he VIII De
supported BY those Democratic members
who share his tariff views. 1t IS 1alr 10
suDDose that in this matter he could carry
with him all of those who voted for nm
for Sneaker. The number is %. These
Democrats. together with the lbs Repub-
Iican members. could easily prevent tariff
LEGISLATION Of anv kind. 1t is not certain,
however. that the rumOrs are well
founded. Mr.. Randall does not admit
that he il prepared to antagonlze OH
reducing the tariff if one is reported. he
simply refuses TO commit himself one way
| or the other. If he and those Democrats
who agree with him elect to act Win the
Republicans in tariff matters they must
take the responsibility of preventing re-
form tariff legislation. In three Demo
cratic Congresses, beginning with 1914
and including 1873, they managed lesi7-
Ia+ion so as to prevent tariff reduction.
| What they will do this Congress Is, as YET
a mere matter of speculation. The hrst
si0ns indicating their course are watched
for with a great deal of interest. It's
not the business Of the Ways and Means
! Committee. however, to enquire into their
| purposes. That committee have duty 10

| 900 of surplus revenue to be got rid OF. ana
/ they must find way to get rid OF 1t. ouch
/ a large surplus is looked upon as danger
| Gus. and Justly SO. The only proper way
to get rid Of it is to reduce the tariff taxes
! The WAYS and Means Committee are sup
posed to represent the sentiment OF the
Democratic party relative to the tarih'
! and they will act wisely by moving Ior-
ward on the line indicated by that senu'
ment. 4 Republican Congress appointed
a tariff commission to investigate the
tariff and report what reductions should
be made. That commission reported IL
favor of a reduction Of about ~ per cent
A Republican Congress passed a tariff
bill ostensibly based on the commission
report. The reductions, however, dc
not average ANYTHING like % per cent
The Chief of the Bureau Of Statistics has
submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury
a report Of the operations of the tarlh ac
of March. 1898. From this report 1t ap
pears that the reduction in the average

Ii is doubtful if there is city IN the
country that has as bad and dangerous
sidewalks as Savannah. In some loeali-
ties they are so narrow that it is impos-
sibIe for two persons to walk abreast. In

trians into the street. Rotten eel

places in the pavement all through the

people Of Itag and their personal hatred

The Coming Singer Comes.

chicago MOVED
Nine. Sembrich is making her way modestly
and honestly. She is not being doomed. She
has brought to her assistance none of the clap
trap by means of which so many singers have
won public sympathy. She is not an interesting
widow, nor is she travelling with a brevet hus-
of a continental bank, nor has she a baby who is
subject to collie on payday; nor is she abused by
her husband, nor does she wrangle with her
manager, nor has she had any diamonds stolen
from her, nor has she ever been involved in any
scandals. She appeals for recognition and fame
and popularity solely upon her merits as a
singer, and when she has acquired these in this
honest way she will find they have come to stay.
