THE TARIFF BILL.

THE TARIFF BILL.
The long expected tariff bill is at last born,
and it remains to be seen what it will grow
into. It is an ingenious affair and makes a
reduction of about fifty-two millions. Chair
man Mills of the Ways and Means committee
makes CHEEKY explanation of the bill. They
have, he says, dealt gently with the sugar in
terests, reducing the tax but twenty per cent. =,
which eught, he thinks to satisfy Louisiana.
AS far as California and the Pacific slope are
concerned the bill, he feels certain, does them
no harm and some good. The tobacco grow
ing States he believes will be satisfied with
what has been done. AS to the woolen manu-
facturers, wool is put on the free list, which
helps them; while the base has been reduced,
the protection of the manufactured articles
has been increased. The committee, he says,
have labored hard and have tried to do their
work conscientiously and for the best good
of all parties concerned.
Of course the bill is compromise, and is
constructed largely with view to getting il
through Congress. The discussion of it will
be prolonged and more or less interesting. II
does not make as great reduction as many
have expected, nor does ie tread on quite al
many toes as it was expected to.

An Omaha Man Tolls HOW q mOngrel

From the Omaha World1
"When was in Dakota few years ago."
said a citizen of Omaha some days ago to
World man, 81 was connected with a large
mining company. The camp was miles away
from any railroad. At one time it became
necessary for some one to proceed to the
nearsst railroad station to receive large
amount of money. Owing to the fact that the
camp was, like all western mining camps,
infested with cutthroats and blaeklegs of
every description, and that robberies and
even murders were frequently committed on
the trail, the job was considered a tieklish
enc. I was selected as the man to perform
it. mule was given me and 1 set out, well
armed, and followed by mongrel dog, the
rnost cowardly and worthless cur imaginable.
I never knew where he came from. He some
how singled me cut as his friend and followed
me wherever I went. In due time and with-
out incident of note arrived at my destina-
ton, received the moaey, $25, 900, in bills of
high denomination and negotiable paper,
mounted nay mule and turned my face home
ward. All went well until night came on, but
there was no help forit had to push for
ward. But you can imagine that wished my
self safe at home.
"AIong toward midnight noticed the out
lines against the horizon of tive horsemen
on the crest of hill in front of me. Pulling
up my mule I waited. When they drew near
I 1eveled my Winchester and ordered them
to halt, which they promptly did. They
turned out to be two travellers, one a mere boy.
They related how they had been robbed Of all
their valuables in lonely place few hours
earlier. Satisfied that they were telling me
the truth and that I had nothing to fear
from them, apologized for stopping them,
bade them good night and we proceeded on
our respective journeys, but the information
they had impaired made nae more uneasy
than ever. l did not know what to do.
There was no hiding the valuable package on
my person or about my saddle where the
robbers would not quickly find it. Finally
brilliant idea struck me. Why not tie the
package to the dogs collar. IF I was stop
ped the coWardly dog would be sure to de-
sert me and return after the danger was over.
1 crawled from the mule, called mp the dog
and securely tied the precions package to his
collar with some stout twine I happened to
have about me. You may be sure that /
took few extra turns with the twine around
the dogs neck to guard against the collar
coming off. Somewhat relieved proceeded
on my way. In one of the most dreary spots
of the whole routs, not far from where the
two travellers before mentioned were held
up was suddenly surrounded by three
men with drawn revolyels. There was no
use to show fght-the odds were against me
and desired to live little while longer
They made nae dismount and hold UP my
hands. I knew every one of them and they
knew me, calling me by name and demand
| ing where the money was that had been
