of the delightful location of Westminster,
of the beautiful surrounding country, of
the churches, schools, industries, fine streets
and sidewalks, progressive merchants and
well managed banks, the whole illustrated
by the pictures of Mayor Brooks, Presi-
dent Lewis and the college building, Dep
uly Collector Jas. A. Diffenbaugh, Holy
Gross House. Winchester Place, the Roman
Catholic property, the organ OF Grace
Lutheran Church, the Albaugh Block near
the depot, the Court House, and the resi-
dences of Mrs. J Il. 0rndorff, Chas T..
Stewart, Geo. w. Albaugh, Mayor Brooks
and Dr. Chas. Billingslea. The Herald S
enterprise in getting up the illustrations
aud devoting page to Westminster ought
TO be appreciated by oar citizens and the
number Of HeralRs circulated here ought
to be considerably increased.

A Tariff Bill Passed.

After several weeks of conference on
the tariff the Wilson bill, with Senate
amendments, was finally passed on Mon
day. The House Democrats on Monday
morning, after statements from the House
conferees, decided by an overwhelming
majority to agree to the Senate amend
ments. The Senate conferees offered to
recede from some of their amendments,
but there was danger of the bill failing
altogether if sent back to the Senate with
any material changes, and the House con-
ferees, realizing that every Democratic
vote was necessary in the Senate to pass
any bill, and that there were serious diff
ferences of opinion in regard to some of
the schedules among Senators, so reported
to the caucus of the House Democrats
and the caucus decided the best course to
pursue was to agree to the amendments
made by the Senate.
The bill was carefully prepared and
signed by the Speaker of the House and
President of the Senate, and on Wednes-
day noon was delivered to the President
for his consideration.
Immediately after the House agreed to
the Senate amendments separate bills
were passed placing sugar, iron ore, btu
minous coal and barbed wire on the free
list, and sent them to the Senate on Tues
dav

While the new tariff bill does not give
that measure of relief from onerous taxa
ton that has impoverished the people,
curtailed the markets for our agricultural
products, hampered trade and commerce
and fattened the manufacturers and trusts,
that was desired, still it makes very sub
stantial reductions. 1t is also step in
reversing the policy of Protection for pro
lection sake, and has started the coun-
try back to the constitutional policy of a
tariff for revenue only. Its passage has
relieved the uncertainty existing for the
past six months, and business revival be-
gan as soon as the action Of the House
was known.

The income tax is limited to Jan. |,
1900, from January l, 1895, and provides
for tax of two per cent. on all excess of
incomes over $4,000 a year. As an an
nihialor of milliouaires the law will be a
great success. Men who have been ac-
cnstomed to go about with million-dol-
lar swagger, will not be so offensive in
their manners to these less favored. As
the pension laws by giving developed a
vast army of dependents, so the income
Jaw by taking away will greatly reduce
