Hardly any Of the changes made by the
Senate Finance Committee in the Tariff ball
will arouse more interest when the details OF
the measure are discussed in tho senate, than
that which restores tho duty on works of art.
There is absolutely 10 excuse for imposing tins
purely revenue duty, and a number of Rcpuh-
lican Senators will vigorously oppose the
amendment To the House bill. Our Washing
ton correspondent points out that there is little
hope Of help from the Democratic side OF the
chamber in making art free, since the Mills
bill proposed no change in the 80 per cent
duty. However, if tho senate supports It's
Finance Committee, the matter will become a
subject of conference between the two branches
of Congress- and with the strong public Scntl-
ment which is behind them the Representatives
o; the House will probably be able to carry
their point.

The conviction of the four election officers
who have been on trial in Jersey City for a
week past is a gratifying triumph of justice.
The end is not yet however. An appeal Will
doubtless be promptly taken, and pending its
decision the prosecution Of offenders against
the election laws will be suspended. But the
first step is the most important one The dlhi-
Guilty of getting fair trial before all honest

that justice can be had even there. No little
credit for the success of the trial is due to Judge
Lppncott, whose attitude throughout has been
admirable. His charge to the jury shows that
he has true conception of his own duty and

great distance. Since their contact with the
whites, and the acquisition of cheap mirrors
the Indians have perfected a new signal code,
by which information is autographed from
point to point with sun flashes. By the aid

were able so frequently to elude the United
States troops during the final campaign in
the Black range which broke the power OF

when one day the signals from height to
height were observed by a wandering band Of
the nation which they had come north to do
battle with. The commander of the Sioux
proved equal TO the situation, and put in
practice the tactics Of tie first Napoleon. He
attacked the invaders in detail, routed one
column with great slaughter, and then turned
his attention to the other, some of his own
braves meanwhile industriously keeping up
the fires on adjacent peaks in order TO avert
suspicion. The second column, which was
the stronger Of the two, as q result suffered
complete surprise and utter defeat. The
survivors Of the fray fed, holly pursued by
the victorious Sioux, and sought refuge on
the elevation now known as Crow Butte.
The place was impregnable and could not
be carried by storm, but the besieged were
without food or water. So they sat there on
the heights, undaunted, defiant, doomed.
Their rushes TO break the savage Gordon were

The signal codes of civilization are more
scientific than those Of the savage races, but
it IS an open question whether they are more
efficient, taking it as an accepted fact that
the signals are for transmission from eye to
eye, and that their efficacy does not extend
beyond the range of vision. The EsquiInau
OF the far north depends upon the waving Of
his arms or of blanket to notify his friends
at distance Of any important fact, such as
the finding Of reindeer or the need Of as
sistance, while the American Indian in the
old days when he was still unsubjugated, got
better results from signal fires by night or
columns Of smoke BY day than from anything
else. But there was one objection to this
method Of communicating intelligence, par
ticularly in a hostile country The fire or
smoke was as plainly visible to an enemy as
TO friend, and instead of re-elIforcements
there might come rout, in case the enemy,
after locating the signal station, chose, as he
generally did, to pounce down upon the in
vadeT.
Crow Butte, not far from the southern
boundaries Of what was the great Sioux res
ervation, is a lasting monument to the faults
Of the fire system. Nearly generation ago
the Crows invaded the country Of the Sioux
in two bands, travelling many miles apart,
but along parallel lines. They kept up com

The bill of the play in Mr.. Thomas Keene's

Duchess of York, Mrs. Baker" The audi
ence sees a majestic and effective woman in
the part, it is thrilled by the intensity and
force with which the lines quoted above are
delivered, and leaves, when the curtain drops
on the death Of the terrible and relentless
hunchback, without knowing that it has
witnessed something worth remembering
wholly apart from the impressions of the per-
Torrance as a whole. How much added
pleasure would have come had those present
been aware of the fact that the lady playing
the Duchess of York so well, in point of con-
tinuous service, if not in actual years, is the
oldest actress on the American stage, one
whose career behind the footlghts extends
over period of nearly three decades.
