SHE WON'T STAND IT.

The Democratic and mugwump papers will have to be little careful how they talk about the Mckinley tariff. The other day the New York Times carelessly re- marked: 'When woman pays fifty cents more a yard for stuff to make dress of bill had not become law she should keep it to herself. So doing she will confer a great favor on President Harrison, who thinks that he may get another term in the White House if people will quit making 'malevolent' remarks about the tariff :" The Chicago Herald thought this was a good thing and therefore copied it. Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt of Bloomington, Illinois, saw it, and though she is Democrats wife she couldn't stand it. She relieved her mind as follows: Now, don't this fool Democrat who edits the Herald know, or can't his wife tell him, that every thing woman wears costs less than it did before the Mckinley bill passeda Cali co is A cents per yard; good summer silk costs from 25 to 35 cents yard. It used to cost S1. Black silk can be bought for from 60 cents to $1 that used to cost from $2 to $3.50. Sugar costs cents that used to cost cents. Ribbons are half the old price, stockings the same, and jerseys, since they are making them in this coun- try, cost half as much as the imported Ladies' things are down. We ladies know that Democratic husbands can lie to each other, but they can't lie to us. We women are not foolSes Let the Herald liar stick to mems things when he lies, and not try to lie about women's things. We won't stand it. Pm Democratic woman, but don't want any lying to keep the party up.
 If Woman wont believe Democratic liars about the tariff in the next campaign they will have hard sledding

Two members of the Board of Public Works have assured us that the proceed


 Works have assured us that the proceed ings at their last meeting have been mis- interpreted by some of those who have commented upon them. They say that there is no intention of depriving the city of the valuable services of City Engineer Hill, and that questions were asked be- cause they wanted to know about some matters, which they are certainly entitled to know about.
 We are glad to know that this is the state of the case. We cap,rot see any eb- jection to full discussion of the matter, and we hope it will be had. MT. Hill wants it and is entitled to it. It will do good. We do not believe that the mem bers of the Board of Public Works have any intention of disorganizing New Haven's admirable city engineering de- partment. If they have they are making very serious mistake. But they should not be accused on insufficient evidence of intending to make this mistake.

The wall of the Middletown New Era
is far more pathetic than reliable or
reasonable.
It bears It's own condemnation in max
ing such liberal and Incredible esti-
mate OF the peculiar and not altogether
unaccountable state Of dissatisfaction
which has been enveloping the neighbor-
hood Of MiddletBwn for several years as
IL she had not got what she wanted-and
she wanted the earth. The New Era
says:
Governor Reynolds yesterday appointed
John T Diekey Of Wilmington, re
ceiver OF taxes and county treasurer, and
John f StsGts of Townsend, comptroller.
The appointments are under the Five Com
missioners bill, recently passed by the
Legislature There is a great deal Of
dis dissatisfaction in Democratic circles az
the appointment OF Mr.. Dickey, and
many are the predictions hereabouts from
men not politicians but Democrats, that
this act Of the governor alone will reduce
the possibility OF success to their party
in the county by from 500 to 500 votes.
We supported Governor Reynolds
under the impression that he was honest,
ralghtforward capable. experienced,
steady and sensible; that he was q man
who had demonstrated his executive
ability as a public officer and as man OF
affairs sufficiently to merit the condolences
Of every impartial citizen His devotion
TO the Democratic party, his uprightness
and integrity, have never been ques-
toned Now we are under the impression
that Governor Reynolds has not
dissipated that reputation, that conf
dence in his capacity and integrity, but
confirmed them.
But being loyal, true, amlable Demo
Gratis and sensible and thoughtful people
Of the common run and average sort Of
Democrats. we OF course ars preiudicsC
In favor of Governor Reynolds rather
than against him, aud we came
understand the nicsties Of thos'
delicate political ties which will
allow a man Of coed sense to aban
don the grand principles Of his part
because some man obnoxious to hi
aesthetic tastes has been appointed &
cffice We cannot understand tina
intensely hYsteric feeling which woul'
make a man forswear his religious belle
and abandon his church because his owl
particular man was not appointed t
carry around the hat.
We never had any room for the ideI
that we were bigger than the Demo
cratic party. We have q pretty larg
and lively lot Of Democrats on our list
but by actual count we have not fOun
anything approaching the number 0
500 to 500 votes which will be lost to tn
! Democratic party by one act of Governo
! Reynolds
/ There is nothing so convincing to
calm and reasonable man as an actus
count. We are inclined TO think th
; New Era is so excited that it counte
} many complainsnts several times.

Little Pig Iron Left.

PTTTsBURG. May 9.-It is now nearly five
months since the pig iron furnaces of the
Mahoning valley and ChenangO valley
went out of blast because of the high
freight rates aud the alleged discrimina.
ton on the part of the railroad companies
in favor of Pittsburg. The shutdown al.
ready means falling off in the annual
production of iron in the Chenango valley
alone of at least 1900 tons. The con.
tinuance of this idleness means a CORE
spending increase in these figures. 1t is
estimated that the Chenango valley manu-
features one-eighth of the pig iron made
In the United States. The operators ar,
ready TO resume, they say, just as soon a:
they can get coke. Consequently the enc
Of the coke strike means almost as mucl
to the Mahoning and Chenango valleys a
it does to the Connellsville coke region
There is hardly pound Of surplus iron il

New YORK, May 9-rhe Staten Island
authorities are making no attempt TO re
open the Mary Tobin case They claim
that the attempt to revive interest in it IL
merely an effort of sensationalists. DR.

says that he has nothing TO say to the
statements coupling his name with that
Of the dead woman.
DR. John l.. Feeny, who performed the
autopsy on Miss Tobin and subsequently,
together with DIR. II. T.. Loomis, subjected
the vital organs Of the body to a minute
analysis, says Mary Tobin was drowned
and that he believes she committed suicide
He added: II think DR. Robinson has
been guilty Of breach of good taste in

name Of dead woman, who cannot de.
fend herself ! see that he says eategor-
ically that at the time of her death Mary
Tobin was not pure girl. Such an asser.
tion is an outrage upon decency and good
