DISPOSE OF THE TARIFF BILL.

DlSPOSE Of ihE
The Sherman law, so called, was made for
several months the scapegoat Of all our finan-
cial ills. 1t had nothing to do with them;
that has been shown. Then, the scapegoat
was the tariff proposition. Some have In
sisted that the proposed change in our ma
tional industrial policy caused so much un-
certainty among manufacturers (whose opera
tions are really woven in with those Of all
branches of business), that the country is
brought practically to q working standstill.
However this may be. the impression that it
is true has somehow spread; and even If
nothing but the impression were general, the
effect would be the same. We say, therefore
though probably the Senators and the Rep
resentatives who chance to read this will not
care much for the utterances of newspapers,
no matter how fevered they may be-that the
Senate and the House ought really to dispose
of the tariff bill in some way. II they mean
to pass it, let them pass it. If they mean to
beat it, let them beat it. But let them do
something.
II |, is not true that the uncertainty about
tariff legislation is the cause of this unpar-
elleled industrial depression, let US at least
prove it by experience. II investors are wait
ing until the tariff question is settled let it be
settled. so they can begin to invest again. If
there is any possible chance to find our way
out of this dismal swamp of hard times. why
not try to find it? II we do not find it, We
can at least try something else.
1t is too much to expect Congress to meet
without talking yards and yards of perfectly
valueless stuff, which is perfectly valueless
even as campaign material; but why not these
solons dispense with these wretched mouth
ings at once, in generation when the coun-
try is crying for relief. and simply act? Every
body's mind is made up; and let him act. Let
him insist that everybody else shall act,

RETRIBUTlON.

Relentlessly though viewlessly Il stalks,
The awful slmulacrum Of sin,
Behind tine sinner; SORROW cannot win
Its mercy, no repentance balks
Its following in all tn offenders walks.
In anchorite retirement, city's din,
1t hovers near, an unseen djinn,
And thro' the voice of conscience talks
And when success within the sinners grasp
Is almost held; when iife's most fair,
And all his prospects wear rosy glow;
When his most priced ideal he would clasp
Unto his heart and hold 1t there
Then falls Its swift, annihilating blow.

Fashion Fancies.

Bodices continue to be extremely profuse in
trimmings and adornments.
The very latest is a great many waists of
different materials for one shirt.
Dotted Swiss muslin still holds its popular
ity for Summer toilettes, and the organizes
are exquisite.
Fashion has decided on embroideries. lets.
and handsome antique laces. Now II it will
only stay there for time We will be satisfied.
The Summer season is going to be silk
season, and from the variety shown there will
not be any trouble In being suited. Cling
hams, OF course, are always prevailing for
outdoor costumes. and this season they are
shown in every possible shade.

A Very Funny Story of a Gear.

The Emperor Nicholas, Of Russia, was in
the habit OF travelling about incognito, ac-
companied only by one Of his generals. in the
diligence. On one of these occasions they
were told on arriving at a postal station that
the next piece Of road was so tad the dill
gence would take quite three hours TO reach
the town. but il they liked TO walk through
the woods they would get there In half that
time As the weather was tine and the path
through the woods was said to be very good
one. the emperor ana the general set on on
foot BY ana by they came suddenly to rapid
river, but they could see no bridge. A peas
ant happened to come by, and the car asked
him where the bride was.
There IS none. said the peasant.
Then, is there no way acrosSy'
"NO-Only through the water"
We'll. II give you 10 rubles If you'll carry
me over"
The peasant Immediately took the car on
his shoulders and in few minutes landed
him on the opposite shore.
Now, 10 rubles more to bring my friend
over"
The peasant waded back, took the general
on his shoulders and started with him. When
they got to the middle the emperor called
out;
IN give you 20 rubles to drop him into the
water"
In moment the general was splashing
"A hundred rubIes to carry me on, gasped
the general.
The peasant picked him up again, but had
not gone three steps before the emperor
shouted:
Two hundred rubles to throw him in
again"
The peasant stood stin in perplexity.
Five hundred rubles TO AIRY me to the
bank"
Eight hundred rubles to drop him"
The peasant began to slip the general off his
back, but Inc general clutehed him tightly
and cried
"A thousand rubles, you, to put
me on the tank,''
The emperor was laughing TOO much to say
any more, the general was put on shore, and
the two guided by the peasant. reached the
town. After they had lunched the general
made up his official imperial accounts. In
them were these items:
To carrying his majesty over the river 10
rubles "

taxes nearly always constitute the ma
jOr portion Of the school fund. The white
people pay about 80 per cent Of the taxes
and send about so per cent. of the chill
dren to the public schools. Probably one
fourth as many white children attend
private schools as attend public schools
The number of black children that attend
private schools is insignificant.
If there are friends Of education" at
the north who desire to see the colored
children get more schooling, and are
willing TO pay for it, they may send their
money TO the south for the purpose Of
establishing and maintaining black
schools, with the perfect assurance that
the whites will raise no objection; nor
will trouble result. 1t will merely afford
the white taxpayers the opportunity of
devoung more Of their own money to their

And its cOlors were white and blue.

And went skipping, hopping along,
With sorrowful face, and eyes full of tears,

An outline of the financial plan of that
wonderful populistic railroad Leweuing
and his friends are going to build has
been published. The great North and
South railroad, which is to bisect the
union, is meant, The promoters and Or
GAMERS will give TO each purchaser of a
share of stock twenty-five So transporta-
ton tickets. Shares are 500 each, hence
the purchaser will make a profit of $40
right away, YOU viii perceive. When the
road is completed the certificates will be
received as cash for oue-half the price of
freight or transportation. Cities coun-
ties and townships will be asked to vote
bonds TO aid in the construction of the
road. Income construction bonds will
also be issued by the company. and will
be received in payment of freight an d
transportation charges. Now, if there
are any oppressed Iopulists between the
Gulf of Mexico and Lake Michigan who
would like to mortgage their homes to get
money TO get into this wild cat scheme,
they are at liberty to do so. And they
may also vote additional taxes upon them
selves to pay for bonds for the road, if
they desire. Lewelling and company
have fixed it all up.

The national farmers alliance did a bad
thing for itself when it fixed the salaries
of its president and national lecturer at
$1,000 year each. The sum is too big ;
there are a number of governors of
states who do not get anything like that
much. The governor of Maine gets only
$1,000, the governor of Nebraska only
- 800, the governor of New Hampshire
only 81 900, the governor of South Dakota
only $500, the governor of Vermont only
81, 800; even Sylvester Pennoyer gets only
81 800 year, for governing Oregon and
insulting presidents. The salaries are too
big; they will cause discord and union
rending fights. See the effect of Pow
derlS's big salary, Why, Marion Butler
would prefer to be president of the al
lance, at S3,000a year, than governor of
North Carolina for the same amount; of
course he would And there are others
just like Butler, and they will go at once
to work laying wires to get that salary
Disinterested patriots ought to be willing
to work for their fellow men a year or
two for good deal less than $1,000 per
annum. The salaries are too big, as most
of the bone and sinew of the alliance, who
did not so TO Topeka and vote for big sal
aries, but who will have to pay them, will
agree.
