The New Tarin.

The latest rumors from Washington
regarding the tariff are to the effect
that Chairman Wilson, of the Ways
and Means Committee, hopes to have
the new tariff bill before Congress
within four weeks from now, and he is
reported to have stated that there is
nc a why it should not be in opera
ton by March /, 1894. These tariff
rumors have become 30 contradictory
that they are the more annoying to
manufacturers, making confusion worse
COMPOUNDED.
All through the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
tariff there has been nothing but q con-
tinuation of worriments to those most
interested. Not q single suggestion has
been made which would have tended to
promote a more steady and healthy
condition Of business that has been
acted upon. Tho date upon which tho
new tariff should become operative
might have been decided q month or
six weeks ago without injury to any
body. On the other hand It would have
been extremely beneficial to many. It
would have enabled manufacturers to
gage to Q nicely the quantity Of goods

gradually rise, the fluid remaining
transparent. Twenty-four hours be-
fore a storm or very high wind, the

face of the liquid, apparently in the
form of a leaf. The fluid in such
case will be very turbid, and in a
state resembling fermentation.

be completed by May 1 next, accord
ing to contract, hence the contract
0rs being pressed for time can not
afford to waste any of that valuable
article. The walls of the first three
stories are to be of stone, and as this
portion of the work will not be COM
pleted for two months yet. the con-
tractors can't wait for it, so they
started the terra Gotta section of the
walls where the stone will leave off
and are travelling upward with this,
leaving the stone work of the lower
stories to follow. The terra Gotta
blocks arc 50 made that they fit ex-
actly around the big upright steel
beams. At the same time steel rods,
or anchors as they are called, arc run
through the interior of the blocks
and through the wings of the beams,
thereby anchoring the former to the
latter. 1t is these anchors that hold
the terra Gotta walls in place and fur
nish the supports for the blocks to
rest upon. From this it can readily
be seer that this kind of a wall can
be started on any part of a building
without waiting for the lower part to
be built upon.

TIE Little Rock Gazette has q

THE Little Rock Gazette has got
everybody mixed up by bringing for
ward a new pronunciation of the
name Arkansas. No one but Eng
lishmen or Bostonians pronounces
the word as it is spelled. 1t was UNI
d.rstood that the Legislature of the
State some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
c,mes the Gazette, however. with a
.,,em entitled, MY Happy Little
1iomc in Arkansas" in which the
final syllable of Arkansas is made to
rhyme first with SLOW" and then with
abelow." This indicates that the
native pronunciation of the name Is
not Arkansaw, but Arkansow, and
we are all at sea again. The Arkan-
sawyers Or the A~rkansowyers should
settle this matter once for all. 1t is
becoming puzzling and annoying.
Perhaps Mr. Opie Read, the aArkan-
saw Traveller" could put an end to
the dispute.

It Will DO Nothing.

What is the Democratic party doing
and what does it propose to do to stop
the fall of wages and the paralysis Of
industry which are transporting under
our very eyes? What a the Demo-
cratic party do in tariff legislation to
accomplish these results? What prop
osition has the Democratic party, def
nitely and candidly, before the people
to-day?
These are questions of vital import
anc to every citizen. What answer
has the Democratic party given? The
answer embraced in its record and
pledges is that it will do nothing. Its
answer is that it has no right, that the
government, so fay as tariff legislation
is concerned, has no right to do any
thing, or SO much as to lift a finger to
promote the interests of wage earners
and industry. Its answer is that
the tariff duties should be ar
ranged without regard to wages,
to their advance or reduction,
or to the interests of indus
try. Its answer is that to do anything
in arranging duties to stay the fall of
wages and the depression of industry,
now in progress, is unconstitutional"
and not only SO, but also robbery. "
Its answer is that the only" object
that it will have in view in making a
specific tariff pledge says. The posi-
is none of the Governments business
what the effect of tariff duties shall be,
except for revenue only;" none OF. the
may be on wages, or any other interest.
The Democratic party is absolutely cut
off, by its fundamental position, from
doing anything in the tariff to pro-
mote, or even from considering, the in.
terests of wage earners in formulating
a system of tariff duties.-Sioux City

The man or woman who seems to
have adopted the function of destroy

himself to be disturbed by a rancor-
ous tongue is generally a coward, and
carefully avoids those who are not

order; they love to destroy a friends
faith in his friend, a girls faith in
her lover. They overthrow the
harmless egotism which makes man
stand fairly we'll in his own esteem
by obviously holding the mirror up
to nature. They are the terrors of
clubs, the scourges of married life,
the causes of disunion among friends,
the sources of most evil-spcaking, ly
ing and %slandering, and the objects
of a timid hate and fear wherever
they go. Alas! poor souls. through
what unhappiness have they dragged
themselves before they learned to
hate all happiness in others? More

But the art and pleasure of torment
ing is not only known to such as
these. People torment with a differ

il%l-natured. The amusement which

often enjoyed by the kindest and
most genial of men, who have never
quite lost a certain mischievous spirit
which they possessed as s%choolboys.
Not even the most demure of woman
kind are entirely free from this same
spirit of mischief. 1t is impossible
to torment a man who is absolutely
free from self-esteem: and this, too,
may be pleaded as an excuse for tor
menting those whose vanity is thin
skinned. One may love a friend

wicked pleasure in occasionally prick

New Architectural Laws.
There was a time when it was
thought absolutely necessary in the
construction of a new edifice of any
kind to begin at the bottom in the
building Of the walls, proceeding up
ward direct from the foundation.
This was one of the invariable laws
of architectural construction, but
they don't follow it any more in Chi
cago. Chicago contractors are liable
to start the walls of a big %sky-scraper
anywhere but at the foundation, and
complete the exterior of the upper
stories long before work is even
started on the lower stories. A case
in point Of this kind is furnished by
the big New York Life Insurance
Company Building now in course of
erection at the northeast corner of
Monroe and La Sale streets. The
massive steel skeleton framework is
finished up to the twelfth story and
the stone work is done from the
foundation to the first story. Then
there is a skip of two stories and the
exterior walls of terra Gotta, in imi-
tation of stone, have been started at
the third story and are being run up
from that point.
This building phenomenon, for such
it is to the majority of the people,
while a strange is not an unusual one
in Chicago. Several of the city's tall
buildings have been constructed in
that way in the last year or two.
