ant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding
appeared before the com mite today.
The object of his inquiry is to secure
official information as to tie revenues

preliminary to any possible tariff legisla-
ton. Mr.. Spaulding mand ? comparison
between the eurrant fiscal year and the

tusl receipts sl17,I51 900 fer the first

rent fiscal year were S338, 900, 600, or
about S24, 600, 900 less than the estimated
receipts. The secretary said it would be
necessary to take S1OO00.00O of the APP

Chicago Herald; Miss Frances j..
Willard has sent to President Harrison
a telegraphic communication represent
ing 100000 members of the Women 5
Christian Temperance Union protesting
against war with Chill This has been
supplemented by similar message from
Mrs. May Wright Sewall in behalf of
the Woman's National Council. No
one can condemn the kindness and
tenderness of the impulse which has
forced these women to plead for peace,
but the judgment which permits them
20 declare against war in advance of a
knowledge of the facts. and when the
honor. reputation and influence of their
country are presumptively at stake, is
certainly erratic. One of the strongest
arguments against the participation of
women in politics is the assertion that
her emotion dominates her reason.
Miss Willard and her associates have in
this instance afforded anything but a
refutation of the validity of THAT argu-
ment.
