Mr.. Springer is evidently alive to
the needs of the times and the wishes
of the people. In recent inter-
view concerning his free wool bill
he says that the committee will be-
gin the work of tariff reform Hwith-
out delay" and that zone of the
first measures taken up will be the
bill placing wool on the free list
and repeating the compensatory
duties on wooden goods now in
force
These compensatory duties are
in themselves confession Of the
necessity Of free raw material to the
success of wooden manufacturers.
When Mckinley raised the tax on
wool, the raw material of the wooden
goods manufacture, he found that
in order to enable the manufacturers
to pay the wool duty he must give
them a higher duty on wooden goods.
This took care of the producers Of
wooden goods so far as a protective
tax can take care of anybody, but it
imposed upon the unfortunate con-
sunser of wooden goods a double tax,
one for the alleged benefit of the
wool grower and another for the
wooIen-goods manufacturer. Mr..
Springer says that under this double
tax the average duty on all kinds of
woolens reaches the enormous rate
of ninety one per cent. This almost
doubles the cost to the peaple of the
woolens which in this climate are a
prime necessity. Mr.. Springer is
confident that his bill would save
the people not less than $50, 100000
a year. This is an exceedingly
moderate estimate, for the duty has
not only nearly doubled the price
of imported woolens, but it has in
almost the same ratio increased the
price of the s344,0oO,00O worth of
domestic woolens that were manu-
factured during the census year.
The removal of the "compensa-
tory duties should reduce the tax
alton on wooden goods fully one
half, which would give the people
an aggregate saving of much more
than s75,0OO,OOO a year, while at
the same time, for reasons which
the Register has time and again
pointed out at length, and which
long experience fully upholds, both
wool growing and wool mnnufac-
turing would be largely benefited.

A Jerusalem HOSIERY.

In Jerusalem the finest and in
fact the only hotel is kept and owned
by Philadelphian. Several years
ago he visited the ancient city and
saw that a good hotel would pay,
and he at once erected first class
hostelry. Pilgrims from every land
bound to Jerusalem We're only too
glad to find a clean, comfortable no
tel SO far away from home, and it is
now royalty patronized by travellers.
Guides are kept who are experts in
Biblical history, and who pilot guests
TO all points of interest. The discus
siens around the hotel tables-in
which Moses, Jacob, Pharoah. Paul.
John and other figures of sacred his
tory form the chief staples of CONVEX
sation-are said to resemble very
much those of a ministers weekly

There were famines in England in
1851, 1915, 1886, 1S4s and 1865, and a
general distress prevailed also In both
England and Francein 1898, 174S, 1883
and 1875. The great Irish famines of
1914, 1916, 1922, 1881 and 1876 were in
consequence of the failure of the
potato crop, and no doubt in each
thousands of persons starved to death.

Hotels with Foreign Names.

The cosmopolitan character of New
York is signally illustrated by the
names of its hotels and the business
signs on the business streets. Out of
ninety-three hotels In this city, thir-
ty-nine have distinctively foreign
names, the remainder being named
after the localities in which they are
situated, or the men who own or
lease them, and in a few instances
after some American historical per
sonage. One of the great hosteiries
is named after the Holland House, in
London. There is an Imperial" no
tel and Royal" hotel. The ssvic-
toria," the Albert the "Albe-
marie, the Bristol the .sBucking-
ham," the Windsor" the Cam
bridge, the ''Devonshire, y the ''Met-
ropole," the 'sNormandie," the
brunswick. the ssBartholdi, :" the
"St Marc, " the "St. James, and the
Westminster" are all suggestive of
foreign localities and names.-New

The Democrats in Congress arc,
at last preparing to attack the pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill. Tho
attitude of the party ON the tariff
question is too we'll known to re-
quire any further demonstration in
that line and now that an opportun-
ity is offerered the majority party
in the House is going to put its
principles into action and pass
bill repeating the most Objectionable
portions of the Mckinley act. That
it is almost useless work is certain
for the Republican Senate will
never permit the passage of a DEM
ocratic measure which will give
relief to the people though it may
reduce the size of the purses of the
manufacturers who have contribute
ed SO largely to see the monopoly
fostering Mckinley act framed and
passed. Should such measure by
any hook or crook get through the
Senate the President could not
forego the principles of his party to
such an extent as to approve the
bill. He would have to stick by
Mckinley and veto the bill. So it
is that no sweeping changes viii
probably be made in the present
tariff law by the present Congress,
yet the Democrats should not hesi-
tate to go ahead and do their duty.
They chouId show their colors and
let the people know that the DEMO-
cratic party is as willing and anxi-
Gus to help them as it has always
professed to be.

A Preacher recently said that
newspaper which told the truth,
and the whole truth, couldn't be a
pecuniary success. The minister
who win at all times and under any
circumstances tell the truth about
his members alive or dead, might
not occupy the pulpit more than
one Sunday, and in some cases
might find it convenient to leave
town. The press and the pulpit
always go hand in hand with the
whitewash brush and pleasant
words, magnifying little virtues in
to big ones. The pulpit. the press
and the gravestone are the great
saint-making triumvirate.

This tariff law has given employment
to many thousands OF American men and
women and will each year give employ
ment to increasing thousands. Its re-
peal would throw thousands out OF en-
ployment and give work to others only

During the month of August he cut

With letters from prominent English
clergymen he ingratiated himself into
the favor of local ministers and pro-
ceeded to borrow money from as many
as possible. 1t is known that he owes
the pastor of St. George church quite
sum and also several others who have
not expressed the amounts he relieved
them Of.

here and went in the best society. He
was an accomplished gentleman. evi.

About the middle of August he Sc
cured a position with the Long-Bell

Moore disappeared in August 'and

whereabouts. He forged check for
$50 on a st. Louis firm and had il
cashed The police were then put
upon his trail and yesterday located
him in the state of Massachusetts,.
Steps are being taken to have Gov.
Francis issue requisition for Moore's
return to this city to answer for his
crimes here.
