the People VIII BE Lightsned.
NsU York World.
Abhorent as are the forces which
compelled its acceptance, the Senate
Tariff bill is an Improvement in most
respects upon the Mckinley act. II
does not fulfil Democratic pledges, and
il is tainted with the odious sale to
the Sugar Trust, but 1t does give well
come relief 10 manufacturers and con-
sumers.
The most mportant gain is free wool.
That will make clothes, carpets, blank
cts and hats cheaper. 1t will help the
manufacturer, and by starting up the
mills and increasing the demand for
wool benefit the wool grower. The
farmer will also profit by free binding
Irvine and lower duty on many OF the
articles which he must buy.
The reduction of taxes on woollen
clothing are very great. Under the
Mckinley act tue cheapest grade OF
shawls, blankets and hats have been
taxed from 104 30 $50 per cent. The
Senate bill fixes the rate at 80 per
cent.
Fruits and other articles CT food are
also cheapened, and although most
Democrat believe that iron ore and
coal should be free, as shows by the
prompt passage by the House Of bills to
untax them, the duty on each Of them
is reduced about one-half.
In the following table a comparison
is made of the ad valorem rates OF the
Mckinley law on some important neces-
saries in life with those OF the Senate
bill on the same articles, and the per-
centsge OF reduction appears in the last
column:

TIE INDIANA DEMOCRATS.

The Indiana Democratic State Con-
vention, which assembled at Indianap-
oils yesterday, was the first great gath
ering Of the representatives. of the party
since the enactment of the new tariff
law. In giving it's approval to this
measure for the relief Of the people,
the Convention uttered no uncertain
sound, aud the tumultuous applause
which followed The reference to the
measure will fad an echo and response
everywhere within the party. The ut
terances OF the Indiana Democracy, as
contained in the platform adopted by
the Convention, have the true ring, and
upon the views outlined the party can
enter upon the political combat before
it With entire confidence as to the re-
suit.
Always the party Of the common peO-
pie, the Democracy has just given the
country a renewed assurance Of its
right to the public confidence, and in
telligent voters, not alone in Indiana,
but throughout the whole country, will
be quick to see the substantial benefits
to accrue to the people as a whole from
a continuance of the popular party in
power.

Hon. WIZ. L. WILSON stated sianl-
fcant fact when be said whatever mas
been gained has been wrested from a
protective body" The Democratic
members Of the House we're distinctly
pledged to tariff reform. For that pur-
pose they were elected and their con-
ssitusnts would have been satisfied with
nothing less. The people, however, did
not elect the Senate. That branch OF
the national legislature is not generally
in touch with the people and is slow TO
feel the influence Of public opinion. As
a. present constituted it has an anti
tariff reform element of thirty-seven
Republicans, three Populisss and i've
Democrats. so that when this opposi-
ton combines as il did against the
Wilson bill, reform measure
such as the House wanted is
an impossibiIIty. The Democrats
OF the popular branch Of
Congress have been faithful to their
pledges. All the power that the people
gave them has been used in the gallant
fight made for the Wilson bill. To 60
further was an lmpossibility. But their
battle for tariff reform was not fruit
less. By heroic efforts and courageous
determination they have ''wrested from
a protective body"-the Senate--a re-
duction in refined sugar duties that re-
moves the prohibition from that article
and will put S25, O00 600 annually into
the public treasury; they secured free
wool and free lumber and material re-
duction on the textiles which the masses
must buy for clothing. There are other
reductions of duties, enough on most
articles OF American manufacture TO
visibly cheaper their cost 10
the consumer and at the same
time afford ample protection to the
wages Of labor The amount OF duty
required 10 protect American against
foreign labor is very slight; more than
that Is not required to afford the manu-
faeturer a reasonable profit. The new
schedules may abolish some monopolies,
but the people will not weep over that
Now that the tariff question in Con-
gress is settled, all doubts as
to the law removed, general re-
vival OF business may be expected.
Stocks OF goods win be replsnished,
manufacturers will receive more and
larger orders, money will fOw from it's
hiding places, and all classes will feel
the thrill Of business activity. Thus
will be set at naught the predictions Of
the highly protected favOrites that any
reduction OF tariff duties would bring
ruin upon the country.

SIsTERsyILLE, w. VA, August 10
This was q day which will 90 down 10
the history OF this town. Is was all on
account OF the big Fireuen's picnic ano
parade. Early this morning people De-
gun pouring into the city from all parts
of the country. They came In all SORTS
of vehicles from baby buggy to ROAD
wagon.
The crowd, however, was estimated
to be about 5000. The city was saiy
decorated. Everybody was out In MS
best clothes and q big time was en-
ioyed by everyone.
The parade OF the hose companies
was little slow In forming but nnaaiy
started IN good shape about lO:5o. Inc
parade was made up as follows:
First Brigade-Mounted police, ois-
tersyilIe Cornet Band, j. Jones hose
company, Grand Army OF the hepuo'io'
Knights of the Maccabees, junior "
u. a. NJ. Second Brigade-SistersVhIe
CorRet Band, Citizens hose company
Odd Fellows, Knights OF Pythias, MIS-
sissippi cake walkers. tradesmens ais
play. -,
The dsy was hot and sultry, and tne
enterprise OF the REGISTER In distrlo-
uting free q large number OF fans was
warmly commended and greatly appre-
ciated.
In the afternoon everybody went to
the park up on the hill. where dancing
and many other amusements were the
order of the day. One OF the features
Of the mark in the afternoon was the
cake walk by q number OF colored ladies'
and gentlemen imported for the purpose
from Wheeling.
The Baresvlle brass band rendered
excellent music during the parade aud
while In the Park. The Sistersvills
band also acquitted themselves 10 4
irst class manner
The pleasures Of the day were some
what marred by heavy rain which
commenced 10 fall about B o'clock and
continued for 4 considerable time.
Tsken as q whole the day was one
which will long be remembered by not
only the citizens Of the town, but also
the strangers who came from a dis
tance to participate In the festivities
The verdict of all was that IL was the
most glorious day In the history OF the
town.

BOON TO THE WORKING CLASS.

A BOON To THE WORKING CLASS.
Pit:sburg Post.
The new law reduces the duties on
iron ore aud coal from rs cents = ton TO
40. In fact, without going iuto de-
taile, it reduces the duties on every
schedule OF the Mckinley law except
the sugar schedule, while taking the
bill SIS a whole, on the basis of last
years imports, it reduces the average
of duties from So per cent. OF the Nc
Kinley law to IS per cent
The great boon of the new bill TO the
working classes lies in putting lumber
aud wool on the free list, with marked
red uction in the duties on glass, earth
euware and wooden fabrics. Some Of
the latter are very striking. The aver
age of the Mckinley law on wooden
goods was 9sJ5 per cent. Last year on
imports of wooden goods aggregating
S36, 900, 600 the Mckinley taxes were
S35. 500, 600. The rate Of the new tariff
is 50 per cent.
IL is computed that not only will the
wooden schedule give our people more
honest WOODEN wear, sud less OF shod-
DIV, bat by breaking no combines on the
part OF the home manufacturers save
the American people not less than
$50, 900, 600 a year on the woolens they
consume. The Post has held all along
that the WOODEN schedule alone was
worth all she time it has taken to get
the tariff bill through

HENNIKER, \. e., Angus: 15.-Aoout
7 o'clock last evening Arthur Mclean,
aged 81. engaged livery team, and
with Miss Nettis Douglass, aged Is, the
daughter of Peter Douglas, farmer,
started for a ride in the direction OF
Contoocock, evidently the best OF
friends.
About 3 o'clock this morning the
team, without q driver. catered the
stable yard. In doing SO the carriage
tilted partly on one side, and out Of it
fell the body Of Miss Douglass. A
bullet had pierced her temple,
another bad crushed through
the top of her head and third passed
through her jaw. Her clothing was
covered with blood. and IL was evident
that she had been dead but short
time. The carriage was saturated with
blood.
The stabIeman gave the alarm and 4
searching party set out to look FOR Me-
Lean. lie was found lying face down
ward by the roadside, about three
quarters OF mile from the village, on
the road to Warner, but was neither
wounded nor Unconscious. he refused
10 say anything whatever about the
shooting, and was taken into custody.
INVESTIGATION SHOWED
that the shooting took place about
mile from this place on the road TO Con-
toocook. in an opposite direction from
where Mclean was found. Shots were
heard by people living there at
about 2:30 this morning. 1t Is sup
posed that after committing the
murder Mclean started the team toward
the village and then walked across the
fields to the place where he was dis
covered. The WEAPON with which the
shooting was done has not yet been
found. Nothing definite is known as
to tho cause Of the crime, but
IL is supposed to have been the
result of a lovers quarrel. McLean's
father can give no facts to shed light
on the mystery, and offers no theory as
to the cause OF the shooting. The girls
parents also state that they cannot ac-
count for the crime. Mclean has al

He has never shown symptoms Of in

fuses to talk about the shooting. The
Douglas family is we'll known in the
village and highly respected. The girl
was q student in the high school.
About 10 O'Clock last night a resident
OF Hopkinton met Mclean and Miss
Douglass near West Hopkinton, appar-
emily on their way home.

ACTED WISELY.

Richmond Dispatch:
1t seems TO US that the House has
acted wisely. The country will sustain
ID in its course. 1t was better to take
the Senate's amendments, bad as some
of them are, and let the people go about
their business once moro than continue
the dissgreeable wrangle, with the
prospect Of having no tariff bill in the
end.
II is presumed that the President will
not veto the bill for the very reason
that made the Democrats of the House
resolve TO accept the Senate amend
ments-viL, that the Senate bill is
preferable TO no bill, or to a continue
ton of the tariff fight through the
winter session OF Congress. And withal
IL must DC emphatically said that the
Senate DILL is vast improvement on the
Mckinley law, the reductions that it
makes being on an average more than
thirty per cent.

While the Senate tariff bill does not
meet the full requirements Of tariff re-
form, for reasons with which our read
ers are familiar, it cuts down by con-
siderable percentage, as 3 rule, the
tariff taxes of the Mckinley act, where
those taxes are not wholly removed, and
enlarges the free list by the addition OF
several important products. Even In
she case OF refined sugar the Trust pro-
tective duty is reduced, according TO the
accepted Republican authority, from
the Mckinley tariffs, 60 cents per hun
