RESTITUTION IN NEW YORK
A Sad Christmas for the Poor of the
 MetrOpOIis, ,r.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-NeXt Monday morning will see the dawn of the sad dest Christmas New York has known in years. The superintendent of the Charity Organization society says:
 I've are receiving three times as many applications as we usually have, and the number will be increased to five times as many before the winter is over and besides we find much larger proportion than usual of really worthy cases. The people are in actual need of food and clothing and fuel, and as the winter goes on the cases will be- come more and more urgent"
 At the United Hebrew Charities there is an avalanche of applications. This society was quoted as receiving sevcn- ty-five appeals for work daily, but this is far below the real number The ap- plications listened to every day num- Der from 500 to 1,2O0. Hundreds of others come by mail. In ordinary seasons the hourly delivery brought four or five letters. Now it has 50 in- creased that single delivery the other afternoon brought eighty-one letters
 At the college settlement in Riving- ton street the young women in charge are finding their work more than doubled. They give work only to men with families and are overrun with ap- nlica lions.

THE WIL SON BILL.
Report of the Majority of the Ways ana
 Means Committee.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The majority of the ways and means committee or the house yesterday made public the report on the tariff bill. MT. Wilson, the chairman, after long argument in favor of the bill concluded by saying:
 We have belle Ied that the first step towards that reform of the tariff should be a release or taxes on the materials Of industry. There can be no substantial and beneficial reduction upon the necessary clothing and other com forts of the American people, nor any substan. tial and beneficial enlargement of the field of American labor so long as we tax materials and processes of production Every tax upon the producer falls with increasing force on tho consumer Every tax on the producer in this country Is Q protection to his competitors in nll other countries and so narrow is his market as to limit the number and lessen the wages of those to whom he can give employ ment Every cheapening in the cost or enlarge ment of the supply of his raw materials, while primarily inuring to the benefit of the manu' facturer himself passes under free competition mediately
 It may be said that we arc not justified in making so large . reduction in revenue at a time when government receipts and eXpcndi' lures can no longer be balanced and when some new sources of temporary revenue must be sought Tor We have been compelled to retain some articles upon the dutabe list and to leave some duties higher than we desired because Of the present necesst ty of the treasury, but we have not felt that any temporary shrinkage of revenue should de ter us from carrying out as efeCtually as we could the instructions given by the American people when congress was put Into power,
 Our own experience and that Of other coun. tries has shown that the decrease of iai ii duties immediately operates for such yn en largement of commerce of production :ad con- loss of revenue threatened by hose reductions
 A most impor tant change n the bill proposed from the present law will be found in the gen eral substitution of ad valorem for specific duties. v This must always be the charac teriS' tic of the revenue tarin levied upon Q large range of articles, especially when they include the plain necessaries of life
 It is the purpose of the present bill to repeal in toto section of the tarin act of October l. ls9j, commonly but most enormously called its reciprocity provision That act placed sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides on the free list but authorized the president shouidshe be sat isfed that the government of any other country producing such articles imposed duties upon the agricultural or other products of the United States which he might deem re ciprOcally unequal and unreasonable, to su5 pend the provision unde- which these articles were admitted into this countrI free. This section has brought no appreciable advantage tion or effect provision for reciprocity but for retaliation

GOV. M'KiNLEY's GOOD SENSE
4 Course That shows Consideration of
 the Peoples Interests.

1t is a commendable thing in Gov. Mckinley that he has declared he will have no costly demonstrations at his inauguration. He regards the spend- ing of money in pomp and parade as al- most criminal in these times of want and suffering among the masses. He will simply walk into the senate cham Der, take the oath of office and return to the executive room.
 McKinley's simplicity will please the peoples full as well as Jeffersonian simplicity pleased them two genera tions ago, when that Virginia slave holder rode on horseback to the capi- tol. tied the animal to the old picket fence in front of the building, and went up on the eastern portico to take the oath of office as president Ohio has. now as many people, and is as wealthy, as was the entire nation in that early day..
 Gov. Mckinley thus shows that he appreciates the time of trouble that has come upon the nation. He knows that the present depression, with it's attendant lack of employment is but the beginning of period of hard times. that will demand economy and frugality on the part of the great mass of the American people. He is unwill- ing that official ceremony and needless expenditure shall be indulged in, in sharp contrast to the condition of those whose public servant he is, The masses will applaud his resolve to set an eX. ample of simplicity and economy ir public life e-Toledo Blade.

average amount milled. The company

when w. J. Thornby was q candidate
for the Office OF Senator from the 4lst
district, and was making canvass Of
Custer county last fall, he promised the
voters that IL they should entrust him
with the duties OF the position he sought,
he would conscientiously study their
interests, and that he would always be
found In his place In the senate, seeking
to advance them. As q pledge II seem
ed simple enough, but it meant q great
deal after all, and those who are watch
ing his course cannot help but be con-
vinced that he In the right man IN the
right place. and that he is faithfully re.
dseming the letter and spirit of his
promises to his constituency. Already
he Is among the foremost in the ranks
Of the senate workers. His ability and
energy are recognized on every side.
and this senatorial district Is being rep
resented as II never was before. In the
organization Of the two branches Sem
ator Thornby secured the appointment
Of first assistant secretary OF the senate
for j. 4. Pitcher, of Custer; p. ii.
Johnston. also of Custer, assistant SER
geant at arms OF the house and Willie

When 1t came to the making up Of

following: Appropriation, immigration,
apportionment, insurance, and rules and
joint rules. During the rush and crush
that Immediately follows the opening Of
the business session. he has not been
idle or unheard. He has presented
memorial from the citizens of Custer
and Fall River counties protesting
against Wholesale paroling of the cattle
and horse thieves sent to the peniten-
tiary from these counties, where appre-
tensions and convic ions have been
effected at great expense. He has asked
in behalf ofthe citizens of Custer. Meade
and Pennington counties that the east
ern boundary lines be extended to in
cluds the unorganizsd county of Zie-
bach. and thus correct an injustice Of
long standing. For years a number of
the stockmen of the foot hills have made
a practice Of grazing their cattle and
horses in these counties, but having
their ranches and sheds across the river
in Ziebach, hsys escaped taxation. At
the same time the residents Of the un-
organized territory have had their legal
business transacted at the expense Of
the three counties mentioned, being at
tached to them for judicial purposes.
The change Of the boundary lines will
compel these stockmen and other set
tiers to pay for their privileges.
Senator Thornby has also introduced
q bill for the establishment, in Custer
county, of an asylum for feeble minded
children. AS mentioned before he is a
member Of the COMMITTEES on appropria-
tions, and AS the establishment of such
an institution has been strongly urged
by the authorities. il 10 probable that it
