A LETTER is published from Repre-
sentative Conn. of the Thirteenth lndi-
ana district, to constituent at Elk
hart, In which he says that tariff bill
will be reported by the ways and means
committee without unnecessary delay,
and adds: 81 am informed that no radi-
cal changes will be made in the tariff on
manufactured products. and that it is
the intention of Congress not to injure
our industries by tariff revision" This
is confession that the Democratic
party carried the last election by false
promises and pretenses. Their platform
denounced protection as fraud and de-
manded that it be destroyed, root and
branch. If they fail to carry out their
campaign pledges in this regard they
will show themselves to be a party of
towards and tricksters, unworthy of the
confidence or respect of any honest man.

by the city are attending to their work
His cloud Of inspectors have followed the
example Of their leader, and they devote
but little time to the city's affairs. Much
OF their time is now devoted TO saloon CAM
paigning. A bad piece of work was done on
the South Meridian-street brick pavement,
but the city engineer paid no attention TO
the complaints until some OF the citizens
publicly appeared before the board and
lodged their complaints. Then the engineer
could not afford TO further overlook the
matter. 1t was charged that the contract
ors had failed TO put concrete under ths
brick where street-car tracks had been re-
moved If an inspector the city engineer
had even passed the place the work could
have been easily seen. 1t is not believed
