Senator Hill is THROWING
chances for future political nrnfo1 ns
by making Republican speeches 'u'
tariff bill. Some think he mo- 'ue
an eye on the Republican nomiras love
for the Presidency. New York oo"~l
expect to get another so called na-'
cratic tyrant in soon, and she vanS
the President. Hill would noha
very good Republican tyrant-inst -
good a one as Cleveland.
The public r indebted to Senate,
PETER for his expose of the Wis.,
fraud known as the tariff bill. Hob"a
punctured it on every side. Yester5av
he said:
81 am ready for free trade" he said

my neighbors claim protection for
manufacturers I shall claim protection
for the products of the farm. I an on.
posed to the bill now before US bpcauso
it discriminates against the people 7
represent, because it removes the dutv
from the farmers wool while RETAINING
it on the manufacturers cloth, and he.
cause, while I favor the income tax a.
a good step in that direction, this bill
does not go far enough. The bill, taken
as a whole, I do not regard as any i'm.
provement on the law now in force.
and ais to wool and sugar it is much
worse.
"Lf this is the best sample of a tariff
bill that the Democrats can give us, |
will wait until the Populist come into
power. How many votes will be cast
upon the final passage of the bill will
depend on what changes are made in
the meantime"
In q few days the world will know
what will be done with Miss Pollard
for seducing the brave Kentucky Col,
onel, OF vice versa. 1t is getting very
prosy now, and the sensational appe,
tite finds but little to feed upon.
The reported arrest of the advance
guard" of Coxey's army here is prob,
ably a myth, sent out to brighten pros
pective recruits. 1t was telegraphed
here that a detachment of fOrty-one
would arrive in the city on the
9TH. A squad of police were sent out
to arrest them. This they did. The
associated press, of course, told thatlt
waaa part of the army. The associated
press wires would melt if a truthtulre'
port were started.
Walter Henry's nomination Tor TIE

The small sum of $1,000 per
.nnum, with privilege to engage ID
business, is not enough for the Roya
Walter. He thinks he could MAKE
more than that on a little billy farm
with a blind mule. Ny private opinion
IS that the Democratic party will nave
TO promise to make a Gar out olah
little stump campaigners to get tnem
