A TARIFF PoEM.-He sat at his
door at MONDAY, lonely and gloomy
and sad, brooding over the price OF
his corn crop, and figuring how
much he had. He had worked from
early spring time, early and late
and hard, and he was counting his
assets ard figuring out his reward.
He figured that it took two acres
] TO buy his two boys new boots, and
ten acres more on top OF this TO fit
them out with new suits. To buy
his wife protected dress took 100
bushels more, while five acres went
in solid lump for the carpet on the
| floor. His tax and his giocery bill
absorbed his crop of oats, while
| the interest on his farm mortgage
took all his iaitened shoats. The
shingles Oh his COW shed and the
lumber for his barn had eaten mp
his beef steers and the balance of
his corn. So he sat in his door at
, noondav, lonely and gloomy and
/ sore. as he figured his wealth lit
lie less than il was the year before.
!. ''By gum, they say I'm protected,
but | know there's something
wrong; I've been deceived and
: gulled and hoodwinked by his

BANGOR, June Il --Winterport. the scene
of the sensational shooting of Percy Rich
by Ida Mason, has developed another SEN
sation. The central figure in this, As in the
other case, is q woman, and the man as
saulted this time is w. o. Tainter. who runs
the village barber shop. He is a man of
80 or so, who is very POPULAR, and bears an
excellent reputation. lie has been married
for some eight or ten years, and was not
supposed to have any enemies. Thursday
night, As he was walking along a street in
the villsge, q woman named Mary McCsn-
non suddenly dsrted after him and made a
murderous attack upon him with a razor. He
defended himself As well as he could. but
before assistance arrived, his hands were
shockingly cut by the sharp instrument, his
clothing cut and he received wounds upon
other parts Of his body. People on the
street seized the infuriated woman and took
the razor from her. Tainter went home
the blood running in streams from his
wounds. People remembered that before
Mr.. Tainter was married he showed this
woman quite an amount Of attention, and it
is generally believed that she must have
been cberishing an old grudge. Mr.. Tain
ter assigns no cause. II is thought the
woman had been drinking to nerve herself
up. Yesterday she took the steamer Rock
land and undoubtedly came to this city.
Mr.. TRinter's shop was entered by robbers
about two weeks ago and considerable
property stolen. The razor which the
woman u'ed in her attack upon him was
found to bear Mr.. Tainter's name.

social aspects of life the responsibility of

how interesting the events and men of past

been to have lived in any other of the

Boston Sends the Eenate Memorial
on Free Wool

Bosros, June Is The memorial in
favor of free wool sent to the Senate finance
committee by the Wool Consumers Asso.
citation says THE system Of excluding
wool by prohibitory duties. involving still
higher dutes on woolcns and wOrsted, has
been trled at great cost to the consumer,
with destructive restriction to wool manu-
fscturers, and without eompensating advan-
tages to wool growers.
"Under this system the wool grower ut
terly failed to supply raw wool In sde-
quate qualities or quantities. and the high
cost of foreign wools forced manufactur-
ers to resort to shoddy. hair and cotton to
make the so called woolens, aud the i'm
portation of goods made by foreign manu-
facturers has been enormous. The exclu-
necessary supply of raw material as to re-
duce the quantity of American wool used.
The third class, or carpet wools, are almost
coarse woods at very low foreign
cost, and il cannot be raised here at all
duty on this class Of wool hampers trade,
and increases necdlessly the cost of carpets
by several millions of dollars. Heavy
specific duties on first and second class
wools discriminate against American manu-
fscturers. We contend, if woods now i'm.
ported in worsted fabrics could be obtained
by our manufacturdrs free of duty, il
would displsce imported worsteds, and af-
ford more employment for labor. The
claim is also made that the raising of NUT
ton would be stimulated through the free
imI Ortstion of raw materials

To the Memory OF the Late Samuel
j. Randall

ONeil of Pennsylvania reviewed at
length the public life of his deceased col
league, feelingiy referred to the strong
friendship which had existed between the N
for many years. and in conclusion said:
His simplicity of manner, his kindly
greetings, his devotion to the individual,
his courage to do what he believed was
right, bis fearlessness in asserting his opin-
ions endesred him to all men. They
mourned his death not only as loss to
their city. their State and their couatry.
but wept over him personally as those who
would not be comforted." lie was hon
ored in death as in life, as few men have
been honored. Samuel Jackson Randall
died protesting Christian. The solemnity
of his death the loving scenes at his inter
ment. will linger long in our memories,
and while We are pronouncng our tributes
upon him let our prayer be 10 the lord
that the dread messenger, in his mercy,
may not again visit the 5lst Congress.
Forney Of Alabama, who for many years
served with the deceased upon thai som.
mittee on appropriations. bore testimony to
Rsndsl's integrity of purpose and indo m
table and when battling for the good OF the
people. lie served in Congress through
periods of corruption and jobbery, and
came out with garments pure and spotless.
His course was shown in his adherence to
convictions on the tariff question when A
surrender of those convictions might have
promoted him to the highest position in the
gift of the people. In political discussion
and controversy 'one blast upon his bugle
horn would rally his party. and the two
wings would flap together"
Butterworth of Ohio characterized Ran
dali aa prince among bis people, made so
not by the touch Of royalty, but by the
touch of greater and mghter hand. Du.
ty to him was aword of imperial command.
lie was leader among men. His life work
was done.
Nsux of Pennsylvania said that if Ran
dali had entered into military life he would
have been q great commander. His per-
sonal and political integrity were beyond
the reach Of suspicion. His honesty was
the glory Of his life.
Mills of Texas laid his wreath of praise
on the grave of the dead statesman, refer.
ferring especially to bis sturdy integrity.
He lived and died poor but always too rich
to be bought. No man had ever entered
this hall or departed from it with a purer
conscience than Samuel J. Randall The
name of the force bill and the name of
Sam Randall we're remembered and often
at the fresides Of Southern homes when
the people recalled how they had trembIed
with fear at the mention of one. and how
hope had revived at the mention of the
other.
Other eulogistic speeches were made by
O'Farrel of Virginia, McComa. of Mary
land, Buchanan of New Jersey, Mansur
Of Missouri, Williams of Ohio. Breckiu-
ridge of kentuckey, Osborne of Pennsylva-
mia, Covert Of Ner York. Kerr of Pennsyl.
vsnia, McCresry of Kentuckey. and then
the House, as mark Of respect to the de-
ceased, adjourned.
