The Senators are devoting all their
time in the sessions to consideration
of the tariff schedules of the Wilson
bill. What they will do they do not
now themselves know, but it is sad
ly to be feared that the free list as
presented to them will be curtailed.
That seems to be the opinion as Sc
cured from a perusal of the metro
politan press. But the Senators are
peculiar lads. Sometimes they for
get all about the issues upon which
the victories were won which placed
them in office, and much dalliance
with the Wilson bill as it now stands
will show that this is one of those
times. A millionaire Senate is what
this country unfortunately has had
too much of for quite long time

DISAPPEARS AND DIES.
Sad End of a Greensburg Drug Clerk
Named j. 4. Lindeman.

GREENspJRG, Feb. 9.-Tbe sudden
disappearance of the young and pop
ular drug clerk, Julius L. Lindeman
who was employed in the drug store
of 5. G. Brown of this place and his
death this morning at Tyrone has
caused a sensation here. Liudeman
had been in the Brown drug store
since last fall and had been sleeping
in the store for the purpose of an
swering night calls. On Monday
evening he left the store without
notifying the proprietor. He went
to Pittsburg on the fast line at 1927
He did not return in the morning,
and nothing was heard of him until
this morning, when Mr. Brown re-
ceived telegram from Tyrone stat
ing that Lindeman had arrived there
this morning and had died at seven
A. NJ. He told friend that he was
asleep when he passed Greensburg
this morning and woke at Latrobe.
He then concluded he would 90 on

and OF his whereabouts since Mon
day are still n mystery. He was

Even sanguine Republicans now
concede that the Wilson bill will
pass the Senate substantially un
changed, and yet the country per-
versely refuses to be ruined. Dun's
Review ofFebruary 10 calmly alludes
to the gradual improvement in bus
mess" and says that the industrial
recovery continues" and that "more
mills are now at work" One of the
mills which have resumed work since
the Wilson bill passed is the wooden
mill of Congressman Stevens at
North Andover. Mass. This is a
peculiarly exasperating case, as Mr..
Stevens is Democratic member of
the Ways and Means Committee.
How he can have the audacity to
start up wooden mill just after vot-
ing for lower duties on wooden goods
with the express design of closing
all wooden mills, we leave it for him
and the protectionists to explain.
Probably he would concur with the
Wool and Cotton Reporter, that the
amendment fitting free wool and re.
duced duties to the exigencies of the
manufacturing year is "of great i'm
portance," and that "agents will now
open fall goods, buyers will begin
placing orders, and every
thing will become brighter and more
promising" The same journal takes
position on the general question
of the tariff which will send shivers
down Republican spines. 1t advises
the Republican Senators to try to
make the Wilson bill as good as pos
sible, and then pass it as fnality,
so that "the evils of tariff agitation"
may not hang over the manufactur-
ers any longer New York Even-

REILLY WILL CASE ENDED.
for New Trial overruled-Tht
Executors will Go No Farther
With the Case.

The most famous case in the his
tory of West Virginia is closed, and
concerning it the Wheeling News of
Saturday says:
The famous Reilly will case which
has attracted so much attention
throughout Wheeling and vicinity is
at an end. Judge Campbell at 2:3O
this afternoon rendered his decision
on the motion male by the propon
ents for new trial After carefully
reviewing the argument on the mo.
ton, he denied the motion. Mr.. Rus
sell, of counsel for the executors then
briefly addressed the court, stating
that the executors did not desire to
carry the case farther Such in brief
was the record to-day of probably
the most important session of cir
cult court in Ohio county. At the
conclusion of the Judges remarks
which were attentively listened to,
Mr.. Russell took the floor and spoke
sevreal minutes. He reviewed briefly
the history Of the case. stating that
the executors had conceived it to he
their duty to protect the will which
had entrusted to them such enormous
responsibility. Before accepting this
they had given the
testator promise to protect the will
by all reasonable and proper means
and such they conceived they had
done. They we're not disposed to
carry the case further. He was au
thorized to say for Archbishop Kahn
and Father Sullivan that they would
not except to the judges rulings and
would make no further contest of
the case.
Mr.. Hubbard made pleasant ad
dress, thanking the court and coun-
sci on the other side for the pleasant
and courteous manner in which the
case had been conducted. Judge
Campbell then, on motion OF counsel
for the contestants, appointed James
Y. Reilly and George v. Reilly ad-
of the estate for the
heirs and the great Reilly will case
was finished,

We have the Mckinley tariff in
full force. The goods are weighed
by Mckinley weighers. The duties
are calculated by Mckinley clerks.
The values of imported goods are
decided by Mckinley appraisers, and
the rates of duty are determined by
Mckinley judges. The law was
made by Mckinley, and the men
who have interpreted the law and
ruled upon its meaning are all Nc
Kinleyites. No change has been
made in anything about the law or
it's administration by the Democrats
Everything stands to day just as
Harrison and Mckinley left it, with
every American industry protected
and everybody in this country guar
anteed tremendous prosperity as the
result of taxing each other Yet here
we are.
"Oh, but" say our Republican
friends, "all the trouble comes from
the fear which the Democrats have
caused. We have all gone to ruin
because we are so desperately afraid
that you are going to ruin us, that
we felt bound to ruin ourselves in

this magnfllcencc, few little boys
peep around the corner and shout
"free trade" and instantly down
falls the great God Protection and
smashes to pieces not only itself, but
its PROSTATE worshippers. And then
its worshippers pick up the pieces

The Slackwatcr Improvement to be
Continued.

COutlnueu.
Several gentlemen appeared be-
fore the River and Harbor Commit
tee last week in the interest Of the
extension of the slackwater improve
ments on the Monongahea river to
this point. Among these gentle
men were Hon. S. B. Ekins, Gov. A..
B. Fleming and Hon. Jno w. Mason.
On Friday they addressed arguments
to the Committee showing the re
sources of this section and the ne,
cessity of the speedy completion of
the work. The Committee appeared
to be very favorably impressed by
the arguments and treated the par
ty with much consideration. 1t was
understood by the gentlemen that
an appropriation will certainly be
made to push forward the construc-
ton of Lock No. 10. which is locat-
ed just this side of Morgantown,
but the Committee will be unable,
owing to the present depleted condi
lion OF the treasury to make as large
an appropriation as Cne merlJS OF Tue
improvement demands. However,
as there is yet about $23,000 of the
last appropriation available, the
amount the Committee will probably
allow will possibly complete lock No.
10 or nearly so. The next Congress
will then complete No. IL, which
will bring steamers to Fairmont in
very high stages OF water, and per
nit boats and barges to be frequent
ly fioated out. So we think we can
safely predict that the completion
of slackwater navigation to Fair
mont is a matter that is not fully
determined upon hut will actually
be consummated within the next
three or four years.-Inder.
