THE TARIFF TlNKERS.

WASHINGTON, d. C-The report of the
republican minority of the ways and
means committee against the bill placing
cotton bagging, cotton ties and machin-
cry for manufacturing the same upon
the free list, has been prepared by Mr..
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and filed with
the committee.
OF cotton bagging, the report says:
''This manufacture was created by a
protective tariff, and it is dependent up
on the same for its preservation. Any
reduction of the duty below protection
point would be serious blow to the
laborers engaged, in the industry and
to the capital which established it. The
report says also there is no combination
to fix the prices of manufacture by the
mills making cotton bagging. This one
industry should be encouraged to secure
competition and reduce prices to min
imum.
Regarding cotton ties, the report says
these are to be admitted free, while bar
rel hoops of iron or steel are taxed.
There Is no reason for this distinction
except the necessity for making laws for
democratic campaign purposes.
The minority also attacks the propo-
sition to place cotton machinery on the
free list. No reason, it says, has been
put forward why this has been done.
Nor has reason been stated why one
kind of machinery should be taxed while
another is admitted free OF duty. This is
only piece of the mischievous policy,
says the report, adopted by the majority
to deal with the tariff in spots, without
regard to connection.

THE SENATE PASSED THE BILL.

From the ElDoradO Republican.
We understand that at the recent
meeting of the county attorneys at
Topeka it was decided to instruct all
assessors in the state to assess property
at it's full cash value This will simply
be in compliance with the positive in
junction which has been entirely ig-
nored by assessors in the past. There
can be no possible objection to assessing
property at its full value, and there are
many advantages in SO doing.-Olathe
Herald.
While the present law says in one
place that all property shall be assessed
at its cash value, another law says the
township assessors shall meet each year
and agree upon valuation. So the
assessors of the state follow this instead
of the first provision of the law.
And then the railway property of the
state is not assessed by the township
trustees, but by state board of railway
assessors, and SO long as this is true the
basis of assessment cannot be raised.
At the late session of the legislature
the republican senate passed bill which
provided that all railway and other cor
porate property in the state should be
assessed at it's true value in money, but
it was killed in the house. The idea was
to have all railway and other property
assessed at its value upon fair and
equal basis; and a further provision pre-
vented municipalities from going into
debt beyond 5 per cent of their assessed
value, deducting present Indebtedness;
but the whole matter died in the house
of representatives.

Our friends the democratic majority
of the house should not indulge in boys
play. Genuine economy is good thing.
Nobody favors wasteful extravaganza in
the matter of appropriations. To re-
duce estimates for the mere sake Of max
ing show of economy. or for the mere
sake of cutting the appropriations down
to figure below the amounts aPproprl-
ated by republican congress, In order
to make campaign capital, and all the
time knowing full well that at the next
session large deficiency bills will have to
be passed, is not good politics, and is
not good sense. -

From the American Economist.

From the American Economist.
The representative from Tennessee
says: 'The tariff law of 1883 was an
increase on the rates Heretofore exist
ing, and the act passed by the last con-
gress is still greater increase on the
bill of 1888" Now let facts talk. In
1882, 29.42 per cent of our total i'm
portations were admitted free. the aver.
age rate on dutiable goods was 1850

Many old-fashioned republicans OF
Butler county went off into the late po-
litical movement in the hope that bet
ter, .purer, more patriotic party
would be formed, and one that would
be nearer the people; but they are now
convinced of their error and are coming
back. We welcome them back, promis-
ing them in all sincerity, that we shall
endeavor to bring the party nearer in
touch with the people. The republican

THE SEA SERPENT.

Near the close of the second decade of
the present century there appeared off
the coast of Massachusetts, Bay one or
more strange creatures, differing essen
TALLY IN general aspect from anything
hitherto observed. They were evidently
sea-going creatures, oceanic ones, and
impressed all of their many observers as
serpentine or saurian-like in shape and
movements.
Colonel Perkins of Boston commune
Gated his observations of one of these
appearances to the Boston Advertiser
at that time:

ject on which there existed a great ex-
element, Visited Gloucester, Cape Ann,
with Mr.. Lee. We met several persons
returning who reported that the Great.
ure had not been seen during several
days. We, however, continued on our
route to Gloucester. All the town, as
you may suppose, were on the alert, and
almost every individual, both great and
small, had been gratified at greater or
less distance with sight of him. The
weather was fine, the sea smooth, and
Mr.. Lee and myself sat on APPOINT of land

feet from the water In few moments

not more than two miles distance from

ing with rapid motion up the harbOr
ON the western shore. AS he approached
us it was easy to see that his motion
was not that of a common snake, either
on land or in the water, but evidently
the vertical movement of the caterpillar.
AS nearly as l could judge there was Wis
ible at the time about forty feet of his
body. 1t is very evident that the length
must have been much greater than what
appeared, as in his movements he left a
considerable wave in the rear.

LAND OF THE LIVING CLIFF-DwEL.
IERs

A deep rayine cutting in at right angles
to the Bacochic lin chihuahua, Mexlco]
closed our way to the North as we ascend
ed the winding trail, and when he had
worked our way up the steep bank some
200 or 800 feet, favorable exit from the
low, scrubby pines gave me an oppor-
tunity to look straight across this pictur-
esque ravine, and was surprised to see,
on the other bank, which seemed even
l stood, deep cave walled up in front
nearly to the top, and evidently indicat-
ing cave or cliff-dwellers. My first
thought was that the curious habltation
in front of me belonged to the era of
similar buildings in Arizona and New
Mexico, which the best authority con-
signs to very old period. With me,
however, was Mexican gentleman who
said that the cave was inhabited, but as
the occupants were extremely timid,
probably we would not be able to see
them without forcing an entrance into
their strange home. He believed that
most of them were inside peeping at us
over the rude walls and around the very
dilapidated animals hide that served to
close the door. The cave was not over
two hundred yards away, and, with the
aid of our field-glasses, we could painly
make out its details.
My impressions led me to the theory
that these were vagabond individuals of
the local Indian tribes who were occupy
ing this old cave-dwelling in the cliffs,
much as we see the corresponding class
with us occasionally occupying dugouts,
shanties built into the side-hills, and
even caves around the suburbs of towns.
But one of the Mexicans, who argued
against forcible intrusion into the homes
of these people, said that we would find
a great number of them further on in the
deep recesses of the Sierra Madre range,
and that among so many we would have
good opportunities of seeing them to
better advantage than we possibly could
here. My Mexican friend was born and
reared in this part of chihuahua; his
father and uncle owned one of the largest
and richest mining-districts in that por-
ton of the Sierra Madre toward which
our course was directed, and to reach
which he attached himself to our party
for couple of days, when our paths
| separated. His business called for al
most constant travelling in these parts.
He placed the number of living cliff and
cave-dwellers in this part of Mexico at
from 5000 to 900. We afterward saw
from 300 to 500 of them, which, consider
ing their great tlmidity and the small
part of their land traversed by us, would
give an air of reasonableness to the esti-
mate of Don Augustin Becerra, for such
was my friends name.
= Even as we stood on the edge of the
cliff opposite this singular home, we saw
an Indian wearing only breech-clout of
animal skins; he carried long bow and
arrows. He looked almost as dark as a
Guinea negro as he skirted the shadows
of the canon, and his hair was long. A
rafting of the falling chips of shale drew
his attention to us, when he at once
skulked behind big boulder at the
base of the cliff, and we saw him no
more.-Frederick Sch,UdtbG, in the June
| CenturU.

An important decision concerning
parochial schools has been made by the
Supreme Court of Ohio. The State has
a compulsory education law, and it was
in connection with this that the case
arose. 1t has been in the courts several
years, and grew out of the refusal of
Father Quigley, as Pastor of Roman
Catholic Church in Toledo, and Superln-
tendent of the parochial school in con-
Officer with a list of the names and
places of residence of his pupils. The
Priest took the ground that the State
had no right to interfere with parents in
the education of their children. He
was arraigned and fined for his refusal,
but carried the case to the highest
tribunal of the State, which has upheld
the constitutionality of the law and con-
firmed the sentence against him.

FIGHTING THE DEVIL WITH FIRE

Rev. W. S. Rainsford of st. George
Protestant Episcopal Church is quoted
as proposing a rather startling plan for
the checking of the saloon. He would
kill the saloon with the saloon. He is
quoted: Business men of the churches
can open saloons and run them profita-
bly,. do not mean to give away the
beer, but to sell it at good prices, with
profit. l only wish that l myself had
the money with which to demonstrate
that this is the only successful way to
to deal with this problem. Would | sell
whiskey in these saloons? No, don't
think that l would; but beer, light
wines, coffee and chocolate certainly
would. What is more, 1 would have
them open on Sunday during the proper
hours, but they would be so managed
that they would conform strictly to the
laws and no way evade or break them"
Experiments have already been made of
opposing the coffee house to the saloon,
but nothing so daring has been suggested
as this. Those who say that the Evil
One should be met with his own weapons
will be quite likely told that that indivi-
dual would be the most of an expert in
their use, and so sure to conquer in the
end.
