CHANGING FRONT.

The free-trade Boston Herald is now crit
ic,zing the Mckinley tariff bill on the
ground that the removal of the duties on
such neeessaries of life as We must import will
leave the Government without sufficient rev.
enue, and thus bring about direct taxation in
one form or another. That journal does not
object to the removal OF duties on sugar in
so many words, but is doubtful if the people
have derived much benefit from the removal
OF the tax on tea and coffee. 1t is rather
amusing to find the new tariff criticized from
thar point Of view. The complaint has been
that 1t imposed heavier taxes than the in
dustres Of the country could we'll bear. 1t
N ght be we'll for free-traders to get together
and determine by vote or otherwise which
line Of argument they will follow. They
cannot follow both lines with any consider
able effect They cannot say in one breath
that the present tariff takes too much rev
enue from the people, and in the next that
1t does not take revenue enough. We ap-
preciate fully the embarrassing condition in
which the advocates of revenue tariff are
placed by the satisfactory operation of the
presentlariff. The Treasury surplus they have
complained of has been distributed in one
way and another, and yet there is money in
tn Treasury for all needful purposes. Our
foreign commerce has increased under the
new tariff. and the exports have kept up with
import s. The sO-caled protected industries
are reyiying, and with their revival comes
an increased demand for farmers products.
There is some complaint in the manufactur-
ing centers of Europe because the American
tariff cuts off promising market. but on
this side of the Atlantic the business ont
lock is good. Decentralization are that the
tariff viii produce about the right amount Of
revenue, that there will be no need of di-
rect Federal tax, no cessation of needed pub
lie WORKS, and no Treasury deficiency.

STREET CLEANING.

There is no city in the world which would
gain more by clean streets than San Fran
cisco. The sea breeze which sweeps our
streets from May to September would be
welcomed everywhere as blessing il it came
free of dust. 1t is not the wind that our
people object to, but the dirt the wind car
ries with it. Our city would be the best
summer residence place Oh the continent if
the flying dust was banshed. This should
be very easy of accomplishment. If one
street can be kent clean and we'll sprinkled,
hundred streets may be. II is matter of
organization and of money. So far as
be good one. The dust drives thousands
Of people out Of town every summer. 1t
keeps other people from making San Fran
cisco their home. The problem of proyid-
ing clean streets will have TO be approached
from two different directions. First, the
sweeping Of houses and stores into the
street must be prohibited, ana prohibition
enforced. 1t will not be possible to keep the
air free of dust while dust is constantly be-
ing thrown upon the sidewalks. The ash
barrel is great Institution, especially in
city where the atmosphere circulates as
freely as in this. 1t is not probable that the
streets Of large city can ever be kept in
good order through one central Office The
city will necessarily be divided into districts
after some plan which will secure local
supervision. They are studying on this
plan in some of the Eastern cities, and there
is no reason why orr people should not take
a hand in il.

TARANTULA BITES,
Noah Webster of Dictionary Fame Must
Have Been a Blase Man.

Noah Webster Of Dictionary Fame Must
Have Been a Blase Man.
Mr.. Noah Webster in the twentieth canto
of that wonderful unabridged epic that he
has sprung on the public, devotes few ex-
0uIsitely rhythmical lines Of description to
the bird called the tarantua.
- 1t is a species of spider" he says. - Its
bite sometimes produces a trIfling effect,
about equal to the sting OF wasp, and is
popularity supposed to be cured by music"
Mr.. Webster evidently was never west OF
Chicago in his life, or he would not have
taken such license with facts. He never had
to sleep out nights and be careful 10 stretch
a hair rope around his blankets to keep the
accursed spiders away. He never saw
man with an arm or leg swollen to four times
its natural size, ana that mans friends vast
ing all the tarantula juice in camp on that
one man.
His statement that cure may be effected
by music is true, but it is the gurgling music
Of II rapidly emptying jug.
OF course, some allowance must be made
for Mr.. Webster. He never ranged through
this country, but he may have been n pretty
game man for whom not even a 10 caliber
bullet had any terr0rs. And again the
wasps lie speaks of may be as deadly in
their effects as an adult potion of Fourth of
July poetry.
But the statement that the tarantula's
bite produces tritling effect is very much
overdrawn or Mr.. Webster was very blase
man.-Spokane Spokesman.

A CINCINNATI LAND CASE.

A decision has been made by the United
States Circuit Court for Cincinnati. which
imposes n liability of S1,600,O00 upon the
land-h0fders of a certain Cincinnati suburb
known as Prices Hill to remedy defects in
the administration OF willmade fifty years
ago. The court found that the provisions
of the will had been violated to the detri-
ment Of certain heirs, who were plaintiffs
in the case, and held that the terms Of the
will must be comp lied with at the expense
OF the present owners of the land, who had
acquired title in the belief tHat the terms Of
the Will had been complied with. Doubt
less precedent for this decision will be
found. We cannot recall a court decision
which could not be fortified with decisions
rendered in the dark ages or since. 1t
seems, however, that, letting a viii sleep
fifty years, the court might have decided
that it had lost the right to dictate the
terms upon which land might be distributed.
Houses have been built upon the land, the
improvements exceeding by far, without
doubt the original cost OF the land. Even
If the present owners are able to comply
with the decision Of the court by paying
Sl,6e0,o00 TO remedy defect in the ad-
mlnlstratiOn Of the estate, the decision
should be considered in the light of the
worst that could happen under it, The
spectacle Of thousand or more homes
being broken up to comply with tie condi-
tions OF ffty-year-old will would he an
unfattering commentary upon the modern
administration of law.

TO BE sHELVED.

A conference Of Democrats at Saratoga is
reported as having decided that the good of
the party requires the withdrawal of Grover
Cleveland from the Presidential race This
IS very nearly equivalent to change of
front on the part of Democrats on the tariff
question. If the Cleveland policy of tariff
Tor revenue only is to be adhered to Cleve-
land IS the man. Ii that policy is to be set aside
any Other candidate would be stronger than
Cleveland. 1t is reported that the choice of
the Saratoga conference has fallen upon ex-
Secretary Whitney. The Democrats might
do worse. Mr.. Whitney is man of ability
and character, and a shining light of New
York's four hundred. He is said to be
worth 100000. Whether the Peoples
party would 90 over in body to the Demo
Gratis with Mr.. Whitney as their candidate
is a mGtter upon which each Democrat can
do his own guessing.

CIVIL SERVICE RETIRED LIST.

A number of departmental clerks in Wash
ington who expect to hold their places as
long as they can do their work have formu-
lated plan for the accumulation of a pen
sion fund from their own earnings. The
basis OF this plan is the voluntary retirement
of clerks after thirty years service on three
fourths of full pay. Calculations have been
made based upon the army ard navy serv-
ice, which fairly well demonstrates that a
taxation of one per cent on all salaries of
$500 and over will be sufficient to meet all
demands that may be made on the fund 1t
Is said that there are at present but seventy
five persons in all the departments eligible
Tor retirement, but as the term of Office has
been made permanent by the civil service
law, the number Of eligibles will naturally
increase. 1t appears, however, that Iegisla-
ton is desired authorizing the disbursing Of
tcerS Of the several executive departments
to retain one per cent OF each salary to be
applied to the payment of retired clerks.
There would be no objection to a voluntary
payment on the part of clerks of any por-
tons Of their salaries into a pension fund,
but when the Government authorizes the
retaining of any portion of a salary for pen.
sion purposes, it becomes in q measure re-
sponsible for the payment Of the pension.
IL this fund accumulated by retaining one
per cent CT salaries should not be sufficient
to pay the pension, the person whose salary
had been partially retained through thirty
years would consider that he had just
claim against the Government 1t is not
clear why persons employed in public serv-
ice should not be able to provide for old age
as do persons in private employment. If
there is any influence growing cut of public
service which ineapacitates a person for
looking out for the future, that something
should be defined. In all cases the civil
service clerk accepts that employment be-
cause he or she considers it the best thing
they can do. There is no appeal to pa
triotism as in the case of the enlistment of
volunteers in time of war. a person enjoy
ing fixed income during thirty years ought
to be as well able to provide for old age as
one who takes the chances of busIness

VERY ABSURD.

A wise man in Boston has conceived the
idea OF imposing tax of $1,000 year on
theaters. To this Boston Scion theater is
theater. One with an average revenue of
$1,000 night will pay no more tax than one
with 500 night. A license fee is required
OF theaters to bring them under the law.
When 1t is unlawful to give a theatrical
performance without a license the with
holding OF license for cause squelches the
show. OF course license is withheld only
where there is evidence that the parties ap-
plying for 1t would give an entertainment
injurious to public morals. The exercise of
The right to require license may be justi-
ned on this ground. but 1t is not SO clear
why the fee should be out Of proportion to

Curiosity overoame Their Cupidity.

In New York two citizens disputed as to
the honesty of the people, and one OF them
offered TO hang his watch, a valuable gold
one. upon the cross-bar of sign-post close
by, and to wager supper at Delmonico's
that if he and his friend left it there and
went away for an hour or so they would
find 1t hanging there unm0lested on their
return. The bet was promptly accepted,
the watch and chain were tied to the cross
bar in such way that they would not fall
of their own weight, and the two men went
away. This was at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Twenty seventh street. A
crowd gathered and stared at the
strange proceeding. and though hundreds
saw the walch within easy reach, no one
meddled with it, and at the end of the hour
the owner returned and replaced it in his
poeket.-BostOn Journal

The Most Disgusted MAN in NIaine.

Perhaps the most disguised man in Som
erset County is a Justice of the Peace. who
is the owner of garden, the pride of his
heart. The other day he was informed that
an unruly cow had wrought desolation in
his Eden, and at once ordered the animal
sent to the pound. Then he went up tn view
the wreck, and after noting the vacant
places where the beets and corn had been,
the trampled-dOwn squaShes and cabbages
and the demOraliZed pea-vines and sun
flowers, and ascertaining, as he supposed,
the owner of the cow, he made out writ
against that individual, containing fourteen
different and distinct counts, including tres
pass, forcible entry, malicious mischief,
nuisance, riotous and disorderly conduct,
and assault and battery with intent to kill.
1t was then that he learned that the tres
passer was his own COW, and his ire cooled
as he meekly paid field-driver for getting
her out OF the pOund.-LeWiStOn Journal
