The senate tariff bill was made public yesterday. The total reduction made amounts to about $75, ,OOO,O GOO. The reduc- ton is divided about equally between GUS toms and internal taxes MT. Sherman, in explanation of the measure, said that the Mills bill was found to be fatally defective. careful examination shows that in many instances larger taxes were imposed upon raw materials than upon the finished prod uct. The senate bill corrected these errors, and he was confident that so far as human judgment was concerned it would be found to be very nearly,a perfect measure. The duty on sugar is reduced $27, 759, ,0OO. Over $24, GOO, ,OO0 are taken from tobacco 1000, 900 from alcohol used in arts $6, ,5OO, 900 from articles added to the free list, and $8, ,O0O, ,OOO from other articles.
 Springfield Republican The managers of both parties agree that voters arc doing more solid reading than in any campaign since the war. This is especially true of workingmen, who attend the meetings of both parties and examine all the campaign documents they can get hold of. Jeffer- sons estimate of reading people is well known. He would have almost chosen newspapers without government rather than government without newspapers.

the famous Poland lawyer, having to
ride several miles to see several people.
He made the trip, returned, drove to
the Governors house, found no one at
home, put the horse in the stable and
then went to the store, where he found
the old Democratic leader talking with
some friends.

This examination continued until the

soon discovered that she had both taste
and knowledge in literature.
THAT scores another victory for herr
he thought. But as Bell was just going
to the piano, they stopped talking to lis
ten. Bell was considered quite a per-
former, and she dashed off several pieces
with great force at least. Then Lucy
was called for, and sang in shrlll, pip
ing suprano, which always made Carl
nervous to hear.
II suppose you do + OF play?" said Lucy
to Kitty as she left the piano stool.
Not very much," answered Kitty,
hesitatingly.
You haven't piano, have you p
asked Bell.
Yes, papa got us one two years ago"
said KITTY.
ooh, is that so ?" cried Bell in her
merry way, DO play for us We'd
like so much to hear you T.
She insisted, when KITTY said she
would prefer not to play until she had
recovered from the fatigue of her jour
ney, and finally led her to the piano,
with droll look at the rest, as much as
to say, Now see her make Ounce of
herself ~
But if any one was the Ounce it was
not Kitty. She struck a few chords,
aud then played a piece which Bell
could not have touched, in a true, ex-
pres,ive style, which astonished all, and
vexed part of her hearers. She rose at
the conclusion, and would not play again
that night, promising to sing the next
day for them.
"And am sure we shall have treat, "
thought Carl, but he was too wise to say
so, for he saw already that TO praise her
would only be to excite the envy of her
cousins, and make her visit unpleasant,
But as he went home that night he
said to himself "lf | can win that
sweet girl, she shall be mine" A re
mark which would have made Bell flu
rious.
However Carl kept up his usual al
tentions to all the girls, and did not
once show Kitty any special favor, unt,
the day before she was going home.
Then he happened to find her alone in
the parlor, and in manly, siraight-for-
