MRS LANGTRY is to appear in
Nashville again next week. On her
last tour her pretty face was the
charm, but this time her magnificent
wardrobe seems to be the chief
attraction. True she has little play
or two in which she forms the
central figure, bnt they were written
and devised merely to show off the
costumes, and are of secondary inn
portance. 1t will be a regular
"swell" occasion for Nashville So
ciety.

THE tariff bill Of the Ways and
Means Committee is catching par
ticular fits from various quarters.
Louisiana people don't like it because
it proposes a reduction Of the duty on
sugar. Wooden Mill men don't like
it because it puts wool on the free
list. Protectionists swear it is a free
trade bill, and consequently don't
like it. Free traders soundly de-
nounce it as the quintessence of pro-
lection, and Republicans generally
condemn it from one end to the other
because it was formulated by the
Democratic majority of the Commit
tee without assistance from their Re
publican colleagues. With all this,
the bill might have pulled through
but for one other calamity, the worst
that could have befallen it tho Nash
vile American is for it.

as to Presidential candidates-Let

This is an admirable suggestion,
but rather rough on the Republican

the Democrats. However, this
would be quite proper, and the DEM

The Midland Railroad subscrip-
ton in Nashville is dragging its weary
length along a good many thousand
dollars short of the desired amount.
Nashville has put itself in rather an
unenviable attitude in the eyes of the
outside world by dilly-dallying with
the Midland problem so long.
Nashville business men ought either
to raise the required amount
promptly, or say they won't, and quit
trying. Judging from their action
upon such an important matter as
this, if Nashville ever becomes a
great city, the greatness will have to
be thrust upon it, for certainly it
wasn't born great, and the indica-
tons are that its business men have
no ambition to achieve greatness.

Tips on the Tariff Bill.
A CHARACTERISTIC REPUBLICAN
VIEW

A CHARACTERISTIC REPUBLICAN
VIEW.
New York Press, Rep: 1t is a cruel,
wicked bill. 1t has been
framed by men who hate American
industry. 1t will not reduce the
revenue, but probably increase it.
The central idea of the bill is I'M
qualified free trade in all the
American industries that can posi-
bly, be crowded into the free list, and
a reduction of duties on all the other
schedules below the point where
American labor and American capital
can compete with foreign labor and
foreign capital.
A LIBERAL VIEW.
Springfield Republican, Ind. Rep |:
The tariff bill of the Democratic ma
jority in the Ways and Means Com
mittee appears to be what has been
generally expected-a conservative
measure with large free list of raw
materials and cautious reductions in
the duties. 4 The bill will
doubtless prove popular in the West
and Northwest and South, and in
deed everywhere save among the in
dustrial and political interests sup.
posed to be affected. 1t is exactly in
line with the Dawes bill of 1872 and
the Republican bill of 1888, only a
trifle more radical, and in accord
with the recommendations of both
President Arthur and President
Cleveland.
LOOKS THAT WAY TO US.
indianapolis News, DEM: The eff
feet of the various reductions must,
of course, await extended analysis,
and to some extent the result OF
practice. 1t is estimated that the
total amount cut down is about $685..
100000. More than this will have to
be cut, and it is to be feared that il
will come from the internal revenue
The term is really misleading
whisky and tobacco is the proper
characterization. That they are
marked for favor seems to be only
too surely indicated, and right there 6
fight ought to be made. They should
not be favored. Better let this tariff
reform alone as it is for all, than Gu
loose on the two things, that wher
they are not vices are luXuries, anC
are already taxed too little rathe,
than too much.
A POINTED COMMENT.
New York Times, Mug The bill
of the Ways and Means Committe,
proposes courageously, but will
moderation, to remedy the worst o
the evils of the war tariff. 1t is al
honest bill, a practical bill, shaped b.
rational principle and directed t

Will the Republicans offer it a solid
stupid opposition? Or will the!
treat it with candor and sense, &C
cepting its principle, and, where the.
cannot accept its details, Offering
amendments in good faith? That i
the question that the Republicans il

many of the so-called soubrettes, she

to the best advantage. Every now and

CHICAGO, May 2S.-The course Of the
Chicago, Burlington & Northern road in
making through rates from the seaboard
to st. Paul and Minneapolis has aroused
the indignation of local shippers, who
claim that it is discrimination against
Chicago. A number of local jobbers
met to-day at the rooms of the Chicago
freight bureau to 1consider the matter.
General Freight Agent Hamblin, of the
Burlington & Northern, and General
Freight Agent Morton, of the Chicago,
Burlington q Quincy, were present by
Invitation, and a somewhat animated
discussion took place. Mr.. Hamblin
took the position that as his road had no
local business to speak of, it was justi-
fed in meeting the through rates made
by the lake and rail lines in order to OBJ
tain a portion Of the business. He said
the Burlington Il Northern was willing
to abandon the business if the Chicago
merchants would show wherein they
would be benefited by it. The claim
was made that other Chicago roads were
cutting through rates from the seaboard
to Mississippi river points via Chicago.
No decisive action was taken, but there
is little doubt that the merchants will
bring about an investigation of the mat
ter by the interstate commerce commits

The errors. SowderS figured in that
capacity and was hit harder than usual
and hard enough to win the game,
which was lost by errors of the locals
and the umpire. Hagan made one very
ragged decision which was roundly
hissed and resulted in the ejectment
from the ground of a demOnStrative
partisan. 1t occurred in the eighth
hning, the circumstances being these:
McCullom was the first at bat and
led off with a hit. BroughtOn followed
with another, sending Mac to second.
Jevne hit to Shafer, who tielded to
Pickett, and the latter threw to first for
a double play. Jevne had crossed the
bag before the ball arrived, but was
called out. There was considerable up
roar as the result of the double play,
and the clamOr and kissing angered
Hagan. 1t tranSpired afterWard that
neither BrOughton nor JeVne were out.
Pickett did not 90 within ten feet of
second base before he threw to Norris

the game Hagan said: ''BrOughtOn was

This was rather a significant admission
from an umpire, and warrants the claim
by Minneapolis that it has not had just
ice at his hands. This decision came at
q time when it might have changed the
game. The bases were full, with none
out. and as Nicholson followed with
hit, at least two runs would have been
scored, no men out and the heavy bat
ters coming in. AS it was. the effect
was discouraging on the locals, and the
Apostles walked off with the game. The
