Avoiding Unwelcome Callera.

\ Philadelphia business man has hit
upon a novel scheme for avoiding un-

tective camera directly opposite the door
OF his Office. When a visitor enters. the
Office boy, bright LAD and well schooled
IN the diplomacy of his profession, turns
the knob and takes an instantaneous

developed and forms one of collection
OF undesirable visitors, which is kept in

CONGRESS.

The short session opens to morrow, aud
and this will be the last Of the Demo
cratic majority In the House for long
time, consequently !, will be interesting
10 even guess what the Democrats viii
do. On the one hand they may take ny
. rucirs. OF defensive position and leave
the Republicans to iTy conclusions with
any sor Of experimental legislation
with which TO advance their policy
villa popular advertising. On the
other hand they may make move on the
line OF tariff reform that will greatly
strengthen their own patty and call the
opposition 10 It's trumps. This is very
simple play, and can be made with bill
TO abolish the revenue system except the
tax on whisky, and further to put Ger.
tain articles on the free list that under
the Republican system of high protective
tariff lays all the people under tribute
without the excuse for revenue.
II the duty on tin is taken of a single
glance will show any man where the
proposed relief would be, for every tin
roof is taxed one cent per pound, and
this though there is no In manufacturing
in this country to protect.
Every can that is used to peck meat,
fruit, or fish. or tobacco is taxed one
cent per pound, and thus number of
industries are put under the ban of
home curse, so 10 speak.
The people have learned this much
In the lesson taught them too late
and at such a great expense, that
government has no right to tax people
except TO support the Government and
that we have hundred million year
over what Is necessary to support the
Government. all consisting of taxes.
Now, IL they can see clearly that the
Democrats propose to relieve the tax
ridden citizen at the point where the bur
den Is felt and when 1t Is useless then
they can have an object lesson that ought
to have been given them before instead
OF the sbstruse propositions In political
economy that were too much mixed with
politics to be made comprehensive.
II the majority will take a step in bat
direction 1t will call the Republicans to
direct Issue aud confront the very fmsey
tariff bill of the Senate with a clean-cut
measure OF reform so practical that a
wsyfaring man may see It al glance.
