THE TARIFF BILL.

This administration is certainly prolific
in sensations. First came the panic. That
was getting to bs an old story, when along
came the Hawaiian policy. And this has
not ceased to be exciting when the new
tariff bill is put forth. Next, we suppose,
will come the bill providing for an income
tax. And then perhaps Spreokels will be
made king of the Sandwich Islands by his
friends at Washington.
The tariff bill, while not constructed
strictly according to the great Democratic
| principle laid down in the Chicago plat
form, is pretty radical. The general sec
reta ry of the American Protective Tariff
league well describes it when he says: The
Wilson bill is more radical than the pro-
| posed Reform clubs bill suggested last
spring: more radical than the Walker tariff
of 1916, and approaches the rates of 1857,
except the sliding soale therein provided.
| The Wilson committee has antsg onized the
| opinions of every Secretary of the Treasury
from Hamilton to Manning, xcept Walker,
in adopting the vicious ad valorem system
of duties which gives the foreigner final
decision as to price of goods entering the
American market.
The bill puts wool, coal, lumber, salt
and iron ore on the free list and reduces
the tariff on sugar from one-half to one
| quarter of a cent per pound; 1t alec pro-
| vides for the determination of the bounty
by degrees. No duty higher than forty
five per cent Is left on manufactures of
wool and that only on ready made gar
ments, the average being less than forty
per cent. The cheap qualities of blankets
and fl fanpels are taxed twenty-five per cent.
aud the lower grades of carpets twenty.
The bill also applies q gradual reduction to
the whole schedule, 30 that at the end OF
five years the highest duty will be forty,
and the average near thirty per cent. Very
material reductions have Deen made in the
cotton schedule. Agricultural Implements
are placed on the free list, as are also drag
ons' blood and ealted CUTS. The tariff on
spirits is put at 81. 80, double the internal
revenue rates, and some light reduction IL
made on still wines, malt liquors, ginger
ale and like beverages in the interest of in.
creased revenue. The duty on sparkling
wines is likewise slightly reduced. for the
same reason, the rates on champagne be
ing put at 81 per dozen quarts. as against
So in the Mckinley bill and SO in the Law
of 1883.
It is estimated that If this bill becomes

THE YALE THANKsGIVING.

The football papers haven't yet reached
state of perception where they can see
| anything incongruous in the advertisement
of 'fnstitutions of learning" by ferocious
| and hairy bands of football players, but
they are beginning to see that 1t is hardly
the thing for university like Yale. founded
in religion and governed by ministers of
the gospel, to make an unholy show of
itself on the one day of the year especially
set apart for giving thanks to God for sll
his BENEFITS, including new dormitories,
ETC. Of course these papers know that
Yale long ago ceased to be Puri-
tanic, but they can see that she
ought not to figure opspiy and oonspicu-
ously and redly as a reveller on a day
which she still officially processes to con-
slider sacr'd. They can see that 1t is q
little out of character for Congregational
ministers to give football show on that
day and thereby keep many people away
from church. They can see that the show
itss,f is a little out of character for the day.
And they can see that the drunkenness,
the lascivious carriage and the rowdyism
of various kinds which are indul lged in by
some of the young men "after the ball is
over" give tint to Thanksgiving Day
which 1t was not originally intended to
have. So, on the whole, while not feeling
very deeply concerning the matter, they
think, don't you know, that in Difference
to an ancient and deeply founded prejudice
1t would be just as we'll If Yale didn't seem
to endorse the idea that Than ksaiving Day
is principally day for turkey shoots
and other more or less moral and kindly
sports.
We hope the good Congregational minis
ters of Yale will notice what the football
papers are saying. We can assure them
that when these papers sec anything that
looks to them like moral obligation 1t ia
pretty plain. And we hereby express mild
surprise that they have seen 1t in this case
in advance of the aforesaid Congregational
ministers, who have we'll trained con-
sciences and quick and clear moral percep-

precipitation amounted to over one inch

Lane, Douglas, Josephine and northern
Jackson counties it ranged from O.5O to
0.70 of an inch. No frosts are reported.

is somewhat injured. It was slightly
scalded by the hot sun of the 9th.
Barley is in head in parts of Marion and

greatly delayed; the acreage of corn will
be increased over that of last year.
Hops are in places growing rapidly.
The hop acreage is expected to be con-
siderably larger than last year. Garden
work is very late Grass has a fine
growth and is very luxuriant. In the

bloom. Present prospects are favorable
