under the prescription Of obscene literature.
Finally the decision with gentle sarcasm
refers to the argument that the Car OF
Russia, and the postal department of the
United States, have placed the book under
their ban, and remarks that neither of these
powers are accepted as authorities on the
law.
This clear and sensible view of the matter
will do much to quiet the sensational curl
osity over the Tolstoi's outbreak of cranki-
ness, that has been called into existence in
this country by the Postoffice Departments

THE TARIFF AND FINS.

Two great and glorious events are in sight
in Congress, one the passage of the tariff
bill, the other the adjournment of Congress.
Yesterday the tariff bill was reported to the
House and Mr.. McKinley announced that
it would be passed to-day without further
debate. There may be some attempt on the
part of the Democratic members to check
this summary proceeding, but it is moi
likely to be serious and less likely TO meet
with success. Mr.. Mckinley also an.
nounced that the adjournment of the House
would be moved on Tuesday next In the
Senate the understanding is that few
speeches are to be made upon the tariff bill
in its final shape, but there, as in the House,
the attractions of adjournment are likely to
curtail the debate. The settlement of the
tariff will be most welcome TO the country,
and the rising of Congress will not evoke
tears in any quarter.

POOR DICK WORRELL.


TT was in the days before newspaper presses had
A.patent flies. The sheets were taken from
grippers by hand and laid as straight as posi-
BILE by the sleepy fly boy. Dick Worrell had a
shingle knocked off when he was little chap.
His mother died when he was a baby. His
father was worse than old Squeers. and en-
gagged in the same business. Taught a select
school way back in the country. No public
schools then as now
Poor Dick tumbled into the Daily Express
office one cold night in winter, and the fellows
thawed him out alta siove and filed him full of
hot coffee and 'polony sausage" That settled
it. Dick became part and parcel of the office.
He could sleep at the fly board and lay every
always awoke with smile on his face.
One ill-starred day Dicks father found him.
Once every month thereafter the old thread
bare pedagogue visited the Office. but finally,
desiring TO remove elsewhere. he articled the
boy to the cruel skipper of Yankee brig. When
Dick left the office all the boys were sorry, but
he had to go.
Poor fellow he was washed overheard off the
coast of Nova Scotia during his first voyage.
Body went God knows where; soul in His
kingdom, likely.
When his father next came to the city he
called at the office and asked if anybody had
heard from Dick. Told what his fate was, the
unnatural parent smiled with a 81 ckly smirk of
satisfaction. That ended his responsibility.
The boys pelted the old rascal with rotten
roller composition till he reached the street
yelling and swearing like trooper.
