n.rsr OF rHE DEPRESSION.

While the uncertainty regarding the
schedules Of the. new tariff Din undoubt-
edIy adds something to the present de-
preston, the Republican contention, as
Editor HENRY WArrEBsoN points out,
that it is due to the prospect Of tariff
reform, is nonsense.
When did it become evident that a
reform Of the tariff was 10 take place?
In November, 1892. Within a few days
after the election il became evident
that the Democrats would control the
senate as well as the House. 1t was
then admitted on all sides that the Nc
Kinley bill must be repealed, and many
Republican papers we're anxious that it
should be done as soon as possible after
March 4, 1898.
Now let us see what effect that had
on business. 1t IS generally assumed
that iron is a sort Of barometer Of bust
ness. The Iron age, a trade paper shows
the number Of furnaces in blast for
three years prior to December 1,1S93,a nd
their capacity per week. On December
l.. 1899, the first date given after the
Presidential election, there we're 246 fur
Daces TO blast, with a weekly capacity
.of176.27 1 gross tons. II there was a real
menace to business we had a right TO
expect a gradual decrease Of the number
In blast from that time forward. But
on January ], 1898, we find the number
was the same; on February 1 it had IN
creased TO PSI; on March 4, TO 255. %
April /. the number was still $50. On
Nav / the number had dropped 20 s5l'
but the capacity per week was lsl'S5l
gross tons or larger than 10 was on

THE United States Supreme Court
shows its conservatism and good sense
by opposing the bill providing for a new
and commodious structure for the ex-
c.usivs and gorgeous accommodation OF
the court. The Din provides for fine
private rooms for the justices, a spa
eious library and consultation rooms,
and other conveniences, but their old
familiar cramped quarters have a great
err charm for the Justices.

TARIFF REFORM viii be the forerun-
ner Of an era Of prosperity such as we
have not had since the war. 1t is IN
fortunate that Congress could not have
presented the country with the Wilson
bill as a Christmas or New Years gift.

Those New York Republican leaders
who went to Philadelphia to ind out
how the Republican ward combine OF
that city manages TO roll up big MAORI
ties took the wrong method TO gain the
information desired. Instead Of going
TO the Union League and having a big
dinner they should have bad a few
quiet little chats with some Of the OBJ
scure ward workers. They know more
about practical politics in a minute
than the Quail-on-to2st and pate-de-foi-
Rras Leaguers ever did or ever will.

The Boy Ranger, with Frank l. Frayne
as the nero of the drama, held the
Bijou's patrons s%pell-bOund at both per-
formances yesterday. Mr.. Frayne is
the hero of course, and the villain who
stumbles across his path comes TO a

OF the young actor make a most inter-
esting feature of the performance. The
supporting company is made up Of
conscientious and efficient actors.

fective scenery. The same will be pre-
sented at the matinee this afternoon,

ceased was disqualified for his duties.

no REHEARING ASKED.
Norfolk Allows the Chamber
Iaync Decision to Stand.

Yesterday was the last day in which
the CITY Of Norfolk could file motion in
the Supreme Court Of Appeals for re-
hearing in the recently-decided case Of
Chambcrlayne against that municipality.
The question involved in TINS contro-
vcrsv was whether or not town or city
could assess admitting property-Owners
for street or alley Improvements. The
decision of the court was that such taxa
ton or assessment was unconstitutional.
The city of Norfolk was given until
January 18th IN which to file motion
for rehenring of the case. At . o'clock
yesterday afternoon no such motion had
been filed, and the DISPATCH telegraphed
to Mr.. j. +. Duncan, City Attorney OF
Norfolk, to know what would be done
III the matter. He replied that the
Councils OF that place had decided not
to apply for a rehearing.
Richmond's fathers have not de-
termincd what course they will pursue
under the circumstances, but 1t Is pro-
bable that the question will be discussed
at the meeting of the Street Committee
to.morrOW afternoon,
