idea. That the law is not perfect, is there
fore freely confessed by its friends; but the
claim is at the game time emphatically
made that it does reduce tariff taxation
greatly, while affording protection to
American industries, and without in
creasing the cost to consumers in any
direction not compensated for, except
as regards certain luxuries. While
there has not been claimed at any
time for the measure that it is wholly
free from objection, it has been and is con-
tended by its advocates, that as to general
results it accomplishes that to which the
Republican party was pledged, and which
the people of the United States have de-
manded. This general effect, which it is
held will be presently practically mani
fest, is the reduction of the surplus, de-
crease of revenue taxation some S60,000,-
600 year, the protection of farm pro-
ducts and American industry, and the i'm
position of the heavier burdens on those
articles that are not necessaries and are
classed as luxuries.
This, says the Republican party, is
salutary tariff reform, and is precisely
that to which the party was pledged
before the country in the national
campaign. The effect of the operation
of the law upon the whole country
the nation at large-is then by
its champions claimed to be the true
measure of its worth and the test to which
it must be subjected for the disclosure of
errors. We ought to wait, therefore, for
reasonable time, in good conscience, before
passing final judgment upon the work of
Congress. 1t is easy enough to take the
bill in detail and dissect it, article by ar
ticle, and find instances of apparent glar-
ing injustice and hardship, but it is sub
mitted that the very easy process of pick
ing flaws is not defensible when unaccom-
panied by frank credit for the virtues of
a measure. But even that process, at this
time, will be of little profit. The people
will judge the bill by the facts to develop
whether it increases or decreases the gen.
eral burden whether it accomplishes re-
duction of tariff as whole, and saving
to the people at large, and meets the
pledge of the Republican party to protect
the material industries of the country.

THE END OF POLYGAMY.

There is every reason to believe that
President Woodruff7s declaration in behalf
Of the Mormon Church renouncing polyg-
amy is sincere. At the East it has been
doubted because while it was being pro-
nounced there arrived large colony of
women from Europe bound for Utah. But
these immigrants were recruited and ship
ped before the church had resolved upon
its new policy. The edict of the church
authorities on its face bears all the evil
dences Of sincerity. 1t is not conformable
with reason to hold that these men would
make so emphatic declaration, with the
reserved intention of repudiating it, since
they cannot be assumed to be asses. They
know very we'll that a more suicidal policy
than that could not be adopted. They
could not continue the institution of
plural marriage and keep the fact secret.
Were they insincere therefore, they would
be exposing themselves to the most severe
punishments, and to the contempt and
hatred of all men. Woodruff and The
Twelve are sagacious enough to see that
the fate of polygamy is sealed; tnat by no
possibility can it be continued. They
therefore adopt the wise policy Of striking
it from the roster of Mormon observances.
In fact, plural marriage we are assured
has declined amazingly in the last few
years in Utah, and that there are not as
many Mormons adhering to it now, as is
represented by one and a half per cent. of
the whole number of the church member
ship. Woodruff would be unable TO main
tain his influence among Mormons should
he manifest any insincerity in the matter
of his recent decree. The mass of them
are devotees; they believe in his Divine
commission; that his utterance is the voice
of Divine authority; he would not dare
therefore to expose himself to them as
hypocrite and liar. Hence we believe
that the Mormon leader means precisely
what he says in his official declaration,
and that at last the infamy of polygamy is
to cease in the land.

A New YORK man has produced in
Court incontrovertible proof of the faith
lessness of his wife, by exhibiting picture
taken by a diminutive detective camera,
the woman being disclosed as sitting upon
the knee of her lover, who encircles her
neck with his arms. Of course, for the
detection of the guilty and the punish
ment of the faithless, this use of the art
of instantaneous photography is defensible,
and no sympathy whatever will be felt for
the guilty pair which the little vest pocket
camera convicts. But on the other hand
what can men think of the husband who
appeals to such aids to rectify his wrongs
What sort of man is he who can coolly
bring to bear the lens of the camera upon
his wife in the very arms of her paramour,
and be content to retire with the evil
dence thus gathered of her falthlessness ?

THERE can scarcely be imagined a more
sensational dramatic scene than that which
took place at Wellaad, Ont, on Tuesday,
in open Court. A sister of the prisoner
was placed upon the witness-stand against
her brother, and under the solemn COM
pulsion of her oath, and with the most
pitiful manifestations of feeling, testified
that the accused pushed his wife over a
precipice at Niagara Falls. In response
to her inquiry he told her that he had
committed the murder, and as the poor
woman testified to this last fact she broke
down completely. The sensational drama
has not given US anything whatever more
thrilling than that scene in the Court
room must have been.

Where She Lived.

It is strange how difficult some persons
rectly. Even the fact that time, other
peoples time, is valuable does not disturb
their enjoyment in chatting of various
things which have no bearing on the two
or three words which their interlocutors
wait more or less patiently to hear. The
following conversation took place not long
ago in busy savings bank:
Said the cashier, "Where do you live,
madam"
"Well, just came up from the Cape.
My sisters just been married, and her hus-
band has a fine place down there. He's
doing well, is Amelia's husband, and Pm
glad of it. They say"
Excuse me, madam" interrupted the
cashier, 81 wish to fill in this blank with
your residence"
'Well, l was going to tell you. She
wanted me to go down and visit her at the
Cape. So I've been down there month.
She wouldn't hardly let me come up to-
day. She says | must stay week longer,
anyway. But ! thought"
Again the official protested, "What is
your address now?"
"As was saying, | am going to look for
boarding place. l don't know yet where
Tll stay. l want a place to suit me for all
winter. And can't decide" She paused
minute for breath, and seemed rather
surprised TO be asked sternly:
"Where have you been staying? That
address will do"
"Why, at my sisters down on the Cape,
never make long visits, but Eve been
there more than month, she being just
married and thinking sight of me"

down on the Cape"
"Where abouts on the Cape? What
| town."
"Athensville."
And the cashier and four customers who
had been waiting breathed a sigh of re-
lief, as she turned away murmuring that
Athensville wasn't really town, but that
her married sister liked living there very

THE proposition in San Francisco to
make nominations for the School Board
non-partisan is good one. The Directors
of the public schools should be chosen re-
gardless of political faith, and selected for
fitness and devotion to the scheme of the
common schools. If the Republican and
Democratic parties in the metropolis agree
to take the School Board out of politics
the beginning of municipal reform will
have been entered upon.

ARCHER WILL GO FREE.
Owing to an Ambiguous Statute He
Ca mot be Tried for EmbeZZlcment.

Owing to defect in the Indictment and an
ambiguous statute ex-State Treasurer Archer
cannot be convicted of embezzement. A de-
murrer was filed by Archer's lawyer to the
charge of embezzling Sl32OOO from the state
and after argument before Judge Stewart of
the criminal court yesterday it was sustained
The statute in the case provides that all per-
sons holding public Office who embezzle any
funds which they are required by law to pay
over to the treasurer shall be punished. 1t was
argued that interpreting these words in their
most obvious meaning, it was not intended to
apply to the treasurer, because the statute ex-
pressly divided public officers into two classes,
those who pay over and those who receive pub
lie money, and punish only those who are re-
qulred to pay over.
he defect in the law was so plain that even
the logic of Gov. Whyte, who appeared for the
state, was unable to place different construc-
ton upon 1t, and the court sustained the de-
murrer. The state must NOW depend upon the
charge of malfeasance in Office on which Mr.
Archer will be tried at Annapolis.

SHARP TALK IN THE HOUSE.
The Majority of the Ways and Means
Committee Attacked and Defended.

lnthe course Of the tariff debate in the House
after the Stars report closed yesterday Mr..
McMillin of Tennessee alluded to Mr. Camp.
bell OF Pittsburg, glass manufacturer, asking
for protection from foreign labor while he was
charged with importing foreign labor in viola
ton OF the contract labor law.
Mr.. Bynum Of Indiana denounced Campbell
as perjurer. Campbell had come before the
ways and means committee, he said. and had
held consultation with the gentleman from
West Virginia (Mr. Wilson, and himself, and
then had gone away and made an affidavit
which was false from beginning to end.
Mr.. Bayne (Pa) said he would take Mr..
CampbelPs word as soon as he would take that
OF the gentleman from Indiana, and he knew
them both. Campbell was the chosen repre-
sentative OF large organization of reputable
workingmen and any insult or indignity offered
to him was offered to them. He pledged his
word for Mr.. Campbell that he would he here
and place his affidavit in the light in which it
was to be held by the people who judlcially
examined the case. Though this was the House
of Representatives there was authority,
under the Constitution, for any member to
assail the character and reputation OF citizen.
THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Bynum said that the committee on ways
and means, in the formation of its bill, had
CLOSED the doors OF the Capltol against the Ia
Dor of the country. but admitted the manufac-
turers. The majority of the committee raised
the curtain and peeped out to see who was
there. The very entrance to the Capitol was
closed in order to keep anybody from coming
in but those the majority would allow. 1t ad-
mite the manufacturers, but if honest labor
came and knocked at the door it was not adj
mitted.
Mr.. Flower OF New York bore testimony to
the fact that the committee had heard all in
dustries that had requested hearing.
Mr.. Mckinley said that the imputation of the
gentleman from Indiana that the WAYS and
means committee had closed up passage to
the House in order that the majority might
have a private consultation room was false
Every member of the committee had signed a
request to the Speaker asking to have an ad-
ditional room assigned to it, The selection of
the room had been made by the Speaker. in
company with Mr.. Carlisle and himself (Mr.
Mckinley. The minority had always had ac-
cess to the room. He did not permit any man
to impute to the committee any bad motives,
or any lack of courtesy to the minority. The
minority OF the committee knew that any i'm
putation of that kind was absolutely false, and
If made was made by some one ignorant of the
relations between gentlemen of the committee.

the latter being Frenchmen. One object is to
obtain money in Canada for Irish home rule
and another to wage warfare against British
rule. with the final object of separation and
the annexation of Canada to the United Stat es.

But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase Of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 compared with that occupied in
1855 is even mere striking
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in lSSswa Is. 10 columns, or 777s columns

average was 2s.75 columns, or 922S columns in

be remembered, consisted exclusively of the
ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing
in the way Of tax sales poll lists election returns
ETC., such as occasionally swell the business OF
political organs, being included in Its patron
age.
