It is with great satisfaction we announce
the forthcoming publication in our columns
of a powerful, new and dramatic serial
story, entitled "Jezebsl's Friends" from the
pen of Miss Dora Russell, known universally
as the author of Footprints in the Snow,
admittedly one of the most successful novels
of this generation. Miss RusselPs stories
have never yet failed to suit the popular
taste for wholesome fiction replete with
sensation and incident Her long list OF
works testifies to the fecundity of her imag
nation; the excellence of her stories to her
splendid powers as a novelist, aud the re-
gard in which she is held by her readers to
the strength of the spell which she has cast
over their minds. A new novel by Miss
Russell is looked forward to as an intellect
ual treat by thousands who have read her
previous works, and are wishful to make
the acquaintance of more. For a descrip-
ton of the story and date Of its appearance

The country has bad nine months Of
tariff talk, and it is quite safe to say that
il is tired Of il. No changes have been
made in the tariff. and none are likely to be
very soon. The House passed tariff bill,
and the Senate has just passed substitute
for it, There is no probability that the
House will accept the substitute. The pres
ent congress will expire in about a month,
and all bills then. which have not been acted
upon finally, will be # no more account
than If they had never teen INTRODUCED.
They may be introduced into the next
congress, but they will have TO 60 through
the same channels that they would if they
had not been discussed in the present con
gress.
The tariff {, lestion is such an important
one, however, and 50 difficult to under
stand, that the people cannot afford 10
thrust it aside, even If 1t does become tire
some. Although a very old question, it is
always presenting new phases. Once the
advocates Of protection talked almost
wholly about infant industries, and now
that the infants have become sturdy mo-
nopolies, they argue that protection IS
needed for the benefit Of the workingmen.
What their next argument will be 1t is i'm
possible to Predict. but they are full of
resources, and when they are driven from
one position they retreat to another
1t is probable that the republicans would
not have succeeded in getting their bill
through the Senate had it not been well I'M
derstood tnat il had no chance of being
passed 10y the House. 1t was not satisfa,-
tory 70 several of the republican senators,
and it require - great deal Of party pres
ure TO get them TO vote for it. Indeed, it
was not certain up to the day the vote upon
it was taken that two of them would not
vote against il.
The next co 1gress will be republican, but
it will not be a harmonious one, SO far as
the tariff is concerned. There will be re-
pnblicans in the next House who will not
vote for such a tariff bill as the Senate has
just passed. They will insist upon greater
reductions upon many of the articles which
farmers are compelled to have. Sentiment
in favor Of a lower tariff is steadily growing
stronger in the great northwest, and else
where, and there are strong reasons for ex-
pecting a democratic victory in 1892

He Was Too Hasty.
From the Mem York Tribune.


A man whose dress was that of q gentleman
rushed toto the office of the bridge trustees at
$50 O'Clock one afternoon of last week. and de
manded the instant discharge of a policeman
VINO, he declared, had treated him brutally,
had grippe his collar ami jerked him from the
platform of a car-all without provocatiOn.
what is the mans number - Mr.. Martin
asked.
"Forty-two," was the reply.
If your charge is correct the officer will be
stripped of his uniform in five minutes
No. ~ was ordered to report Immediately He
came in smiling.
You are charged, officer Mr.. Martin said
with taking this gentleman by the collar and
jerking him from the platform of car. What
have you to say p
1T is true sir - was the astonishing reply.
You see, he admits it, exclaimed the COM
plainaut.
Il did it, sir" No. AZ continued ito save his
life and mine. The car was in motion when
this man, running in from the street, canght
hold Of gate and attempted to climb over it
on to the platform. He was evidently out of
breath and failed. In another moment post
that stands close to the track would have crushed
him to death against the side of the car. See
ing his danger, shouted to him to get off. He
refused to move. | then caught BIN by the
collar and pulled him from the gate"
The complainant turned pale. After much
sharp questioning by the superintendent he re-
luctantly admitted that No az told the truth
Turning to the latter he asked if the post were
still beside the track.
1t is sir, and if ! ever have the pleasure of
saving your life again, Shall walk you straight
to the station

Gen. Swaim's Case.

The case of Judge Advocate General
Swain is again before the public. An
effort is now being made to put him on the
retired list of the army. 1t is by no means
certain that it will succeed, as neither his
| physical nor mental condition is such as to
unfit him for the discharge of his duties.
But Gen. Swain does not discharge the
duties of his office, and the movement to
put him on the retired list has for its object
the getting rid Of him so that the office he
holds can be filed by some one who can
discharge its duties. He was tried by court
martial several years ago, being charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman, and found guilty. He ought to
have been dismissed aud then there would
| have been no further trouble concerning
| him. The mistake was made Of suspending
him for twelve years. In the meantime
the judge advocate generals office is
practically vacant.
! 1t is now proposed to put him on the re-
tired list, if any excuse for doing so can be
found. He received a wound during the
war, but it is doubtful if it troubles him
much now. In fact, it is difficult to see any
ground upon which he can be retired, and
it would be contrary to the best interests of
the military service to retire him without a
satisfactory reason.
The assertion is made that the President
wants him retired so that he can appoint
Gen. Black, the commissioner of pensions,
judge advocate general; but there is doubt.
less no truth in it. If he is anxious to have
Gen. Swain retired it is because it is neces-
sary to have judge advocate general Who
can perform the duties Of that Office
Con. Swain was one of the late President
Garfeld's chums, and it is probable that
Garfelds friends had him suspended in
stead Of dismissed. The chances are, how
ever, that he would have been dismissed if
it bad been fully understood how many
troublesome complications would grow out
Of a long suspension.

Why Justice Lamar Reflected.
From the Netp YORK. Sta

Associate Justice Lucius Quintus Curtius
Lamar Of the supreme court has just bought,
and paid $23 900 for a lot 25 feet front on the
south side of Massachusetts avenue, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. He intends
building on it, The locality is a beautiful and
fashionable The eloquent and philosOphi-
cal orator, lawyer, statesman and jurist can
pass his declining days here in honor and happi-
ness. The purchase recalls an incident of sew
eral years ago. Judge Lamar had been trans
planted from the Senate to the cabinet by
President Cleveland He wanted to rent a
residence Mrs. Dahlgren, widow of the late
Admiral Dahlgren, had just completed an
elegant houss-in the same neighborhood, by
the way, where the justice has now bought a
lot-which she wanted TO let. Secretary Lamar

and made known his business The lady re-
Piled that the house was for rent, the rem al

In point of continuous penal servitude,
William Pierce is no doubt the Oldest con-
vict in New York, if not in the country. On
Aug. 10, 1899, he was sentenced to Auburn
prison for life, for the murder of his father,
and has, therefore, been a prisoner nearly
fifty years. When he was taken to Auburn
he was l6 years old. and as there were no
railroads there at that time he was con
veyed in a stage. The other day he was
transferred from the prison for insane
criminals to the Willard asylum for the
chronic insane, and when the transfer was
made he saw railroad for the first time.
He is in good health physically, and weighs

WOOdcraft.

He makes his way with speed and ease
Through woods that show the MONDAY star
The moss-grown trunks OF oldest trees
His lettered guideboard are
The tameless bee he follows home;
He marks in air the path it beats,
The hollow oak that holds the comb
With all its trickling sweets
The gnarly vine no winner binds
To him swings down its purple hoard;
The shade-embOsOmed spring he finds
His drinking cup gourd.
Lacks he a root ?-the withe he bends,
The bow he pIeaches overhead
A couch the fallen LEAKAGE lends
4 soft and fragrant bed.
Lacks he a fire ?--the knding spark
He bids the chafed wood reveal;
Lacks he a boat of blrchen bark
He frames a lightsome keel.
And that he may not savage be,
He carveS a flute, whose yearning tones
Upon a summer eve set free.
Wake love in clods and stones.

Senator Brown and the Tariff Bill.

/ Senator Brown and the Tariff Bill.
Senator Brown is something of protec-
zionist. and it was expected that he would
vote for the Senate tariff bill. He voted
with the republicans on many of the
amendments which were offered by them.
/ and against many of the amendments Of
| fered bv the democrats. He. however.
voted against the bill when it was put upon
its passage.
AS far as can lie judged from the course
| which Senator Brown pursued, the main
/ object he had in view from the beginning
] Of the cousid ration of the bill was TO get as
much protection for rice as was accorded
10 any other article. He doubtless saw that
it was the purpose of the republicans to
sacrifice ut ern products for the benefit
of northern manufacturing monopolies, and
he aimed 70 defeat that purpose. He was
not successful, ard his vote on the bill was
in harmony with that of his democratic col
leagues.
Senator Browns official conduct has been
frequently criticised, but criticism has
never seemed to inAuence him in the least.
1t can be very truthfully said that since he
has been in the Senate he has always looked
out for the interests Of his state If at times
he has appeared not TO be in accord with
his party it was because he felt that the in
terest Of bis state required him TO act in
opposition TO his party associates. Savau-
nah recognizes his services in behalf of her
harbor, and she feels that in him she always
has friend when and where a friend is
| needed.
The Senate tariff bill does not deal fairly
with rice. While it gives all the protection
to the manufacturing monopoies which
they ask, and all they need TO enable item
to make extraordinary profits, it deprives
the rice planters of a large portion of the
protection they at present have, and exposes
them to a ruinous competition. If it were
to become a law the rice industry would
suffer very serious setback.
The MORNING News has always said
while battling for tariff reform, and it still
says, that the rice industry can stand its
share Of tariff reduction, but it cannot stand
more than that. If there is such a reduc-
ton in articles which are directly or indi-
rectly factors in making the rice crop as to
enable the rice planters to make their crops
at less cost, then the planters can stand
reasonable reduction in the rice duty.
| Otherwise they cannot

From the Ne1o YORK Tribune (Rep)
-, Gov. Fleming of Florida has done a sensible
thing in calling the Legislature of that state to
meet IN extra session to organize a board of
health and enact the necessary sanitary and
quarantine laws. OF course everybody is say
ing that If such a step had been taken a year
ago Jacksonville might have escaped the awful
scourge from which she is just recovering.
There Is no quarrelling with the remark, but
suppose the state which has never been guilty
OF any sort of unwisdom be allowed to cast the
