A Pause i'm the ariffDiscus>iOn.

The Senate Tariff Bill has referred
to the Ways and Means Committee
in the House, who referred it to the
experts in Treasury Department, for
certain computations and opinions.
At This late Day when only about
twenty working day remain. it
means that the Tariff discussion is
ended for this Congress. Mr.. Bon

been referred where they sleep the
sleep that knows no waking. The

the second century will find on Is
hands the tariff a. the uppermost

But there are indifferences be-
tween the two Congresses with one
full century intervening. The first
Congress had but eleven little states
hugging the Atlantic. They had
been exhausted in long war for

Our Public Schools.

adopted to better the schools and

good to the greatest number. We
will have about $4,000 this year
which at first thought appears to
be sufficient to maintain the
schools several months, but when
you remember that there is about
5000 children eligible to the public
funds, you at once see tho in
practlcability of running the
schools for long term, unless the
number is considerably reduced.

able to devise some better plan
than we have had for seseral years
past. Our columns are open and

laboring Uuder a Mistake.

Several papers Of late have been
heaping up TRADES of abuse on
Gov. Nichols because they say he
has instructed the various asses.
sors that they must do all the
work connected with their offices
themselves, and that they have no
right, under the law, to employ q
deputy or assistant. We do not
believe that the governor has Civ.
en- any such orders or instructions,
for it would be contrary to com
nonsense, and the law now bear
ing on the subject, to say that an
assessor had no right to employ
any one to fill out a blank or to
copy his books. The general
principle Of law is that whatever
one can do himself, can be done
by another as his agent; but in
regard t. this matter the last leg.
islature expressly authorized the
assessors to employ, at their indi.
vidual expense, such deputies as
they might need. We think We
heard the governor say that it was
his intention to appoint only CON-
petent and efficient men, and that
he did not want these offices leas.
Ell out to other men not under
bond, as has been frequently done
heretofore.
1t was never contemplated by
the law that assessors in person
we're required to visit every house
IN the land. If this was the law,
and the assessors were not permit
ted 20 hire any help, there IA no
doubt that some of them would
fail to get their books ready in
time for the auditor.
