Mn. CLARKsoN of the IotoG State
Register is in favor Of reducing the
surplus by taking the tax off sugar,
cutting down the tobacco tax and
placing lumber on the free list. Why
does Iowa want free lumber? Be
cause it has none of its own to pro-
tect, and being obliged to import
largely, wants to buy it at the lowest
figures. That's where the Iowa Re
publicans and Michigan Republicans
won't flop together. The tariff is es-
sentially local issue.

repudiates as unworthy Of serious
consideration the imputations of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gdsett0 with
reference to the alleged impropriety
of Mr.. Clevelahd's real estate transac-

sible article as follows:
Neither the President nor any other gentle
man forfeits his rights as an American citizen
by becoming a Federal officer In Washington
Mr.. Cleveland has Just as good a Justification
when he invests his savings In real estate at
Oak View AZ he would have II he invested the
same money IN any other kind Vt property.
The money Is his; he desires to place It where
II will be safe and II Is his privilege TO buy
with II lands or buildings, or Government
bonds, or bank stock, or whatever else ho
chooses; and what Is true ol him Is true Of
every other kind OF Federal public servant.

LAUNCHED AND AFLOAT.

Barney Conway, aged 106 years, aud an Irishman is the oldest living democrat in the United States. He lives in Indiana.
 It is said that Colonel Findley Ander- son, formerly of Hancock's staff ''would rather fight than ,at." As Senator Ingalls, would rather eat than fight, there will probably be no duel.
 'Honest Old Dick Tate," who has been state treasurer of Kentucky for score of years and had the confidence of every body, is off for Canada. His cash account is short anywhere from S15O, ,OOO to S4OO, OOO The moral to be drawn is that it pays to watch a man even if he does hap pen to have "Honest John" or ''Honet Old Dick" tackled on in front of his name.
 It was defective axel that caused the terrible railroad accident i'll Georgia, and it was a defective wheel that caused the DO less terrible accident at Haverhin three months ago. Both disasters are fearful re mindere to railroad companies of the necessity of using only the most perfect iron work about the trains.
 A citizen of Chicago bet $50 with Glea- son, the horse tanner, that the latter couldn't bridle, harness, and drive a certain big brown mare in less than 20 minutes. She hadn't been biidled in three months, and was a kicker. The horse tanner within nine minutes from the time she was led into the ring had bridled her, tied tin cans to her tail, hitched her to a buggy and driven her.

WHAT THEY WEAR.

Striped ribbons from hair lines to half inch inch widths of white and color are very new and very ugly.
 New tennis coats are of gay striped serge, quite short, with fitted back, loose fronts and deeply rolled collar.
 Black lace dresses are now made up over slips of shot silk, either moss green with rose, pink with gray or red with blue
 Flowers are now mounted with their own leaves, or ferns or grass, as the taste of the
 Close wreaths of roses, without leaves, either quite upon the edge or half way the brim, will be immensely stylish upon lace spring bonnets
 Very few handEerchiefs have not merely a colored border, but dots, blocks, bars and rings, even pompadour bouquets rioting over their whole surface
 More ribbons, though no longer the cream ing crest upon the wave of style, hold their own bravely, and are preferred by their dev- otees to any of the later confections.
 Both hats and bonnets grow larger-thoughv architecturally their lines so much of the last seasons that the effect is that of looking backward through magnifying glass.
 Green, greener, greenest are the tlnts Of the future-and the hat or bonnet that es- capes green bow, upholding a spray of flowers, will be something in the nature of rarity.
 Watered silk brocaded with big flowers peonles, pOppleS and ''sich"-ls very high Parisian novelty, but is used only for train and panels, With the rest of the gown of rich est plain silk
 Tips are worn a trifle longer, and even half feathers circle the deep brims of some new hats but they must be of the lightest hutfiest description, or the effect becomes top heavy without end.
 Canvas gowns shot blue and sueded have inch wide selvages on the full draperies of their shirred skirts, and cuffs and vests formed of alternate rows of narrow blue and suede ribbon.
 New pompadour silks are printed in large designs-and have so dull surface that five yards away they cannot be told from cottons indeed are by no means so silky looking as the fine sateens.
 New basques have pointed backs, stiffly boned throughout, and though there is an effort to trim sleeves into untidness, the favorite mode is yet the natty folds, held by closely strapped bow.
 Pointed capes of black cashmere, edged "lCH Olle or two ueep lI1llS Ol lace, Cue poluI held in place by belt of watered ribbor- will be worn with spring gowns of all sorts as the season advances Paris nilliners are Just now making large use of ribbon velvet and quilled gold lace, but it is to be hoped they will think better of it and not doom us to whole season of such eye offending barbarity.
 Straw is the wear par excellence for spring bonnets-and motley the hue thereof-rue straw being colored to outdo Josephs coat 1 and fife fancy woven yellow Tuscans, made 1 yelIOwer than the law allows.

cases would seem to be unnecessary. Knowing this to be the case undertakers are liable to become a little careless ln re- gard to following out the strict letter of the law. Undertaken Bergin, who Is charged with violation of the law, did only what he claims, other undertakers have done time and again. He made two visits to the registrars office to secure a permit, and not finding him in concluded to bury the body, having physicians cer- tificate of death, and secure the burial per
 init later. According to the strict letter of the law, MT Bergin is probably liable, but we do not believe that any court will infiict a fine for such slight misinterpre- tation. Had he tried to bury body secretly, and thus become accessory to a crime he should be severely dealt with, but this is an entirely different case.

CONGRESSMAN VANCE of New Britain, is, if the indications are correct, rapidly be coming the right hand man of Randall, and a champion of his bill before congress. The DEMOCRAT is a warm friend of Vance, and would be pleased to see him make his mark in congress, and for that reason does not like to see him become such an en- thu siastic Randall man. As we see it the distinctive feature of this Randall bill is the reduction in the tax on whiskey from ninety to fifty cents on gallon, reduc- tion of ten cents quart ou the article. Cheap whiskey and free cigars and cigar cites are the foundation of the bill. This would be all we'll enough if the necessaries of life were included in the reduction, but they are not. The most notable feature in it's tariff provisions is the increase in the tariff on tin plates from one cent a pound to two and one-tenth cents a pound. This provision, 1t is asserted, is for the benefit of one business firm in Pennsylvania. The bill keeps up the tariff on wool, sugar, timber and lumber; makes a small reduc- tion on copper and lead ores, and offers ,one reduction on iron, steel and cotton.

X POLICE BUILDING.

One of the barriers that precluded the possibility of the erection of police build ing on the city hall property has been re- moved by the action of the town meeting in voting to lease that portion in the rear of city hall to the city for a term of ninty- nine years Now the matter of better police accommodations as regards this particular Almost three years ago, when the question of remodeling the interior of city hall was being agitated, Chief of Police Egan drew plans of building to be located in the rear of city hall and they were calculated to greatly improve the present accommoda- tions. There is no doubt of the need of better police accomodations and it is not a Question of the consideration of the mem bers of the force so much as it is the comfort of the pris- oners. This, too, be it said to the credit of Chief Egan and the police force, is what prompts their interest in the mat ter. The court of common council should however, consider possible changes in the future and the demands due to the prob- able growth of the city. The necessity some time for an ambulance and patrol wagon and stables and sheds should be a bject not to be isolated from the pro- vision for new headquarters. They should be located so that there will be no danger of them being separated from the police court, so that prisoners may not be dragged through the public streets of oul three, aye even five years and have build ing that will answer for years to come, than to be nasty and provide quarters that twenty years hence will be found as cramped as the present headquarters which now disgrace the city.
