We most heartily agree with the Phil
adelphia Times that there could be no
more inexcusabIs waste Of time than
for the Finance Committee of the Sen
ate 10 invite Hearings" from interested
parties regarding tariff changes. The
printed records OF both Senate and
House contain volume after volume Of
the records Of such hearings. The peo-
pie who come to them do not come with
the purpose OF helping the committee
in their work, but only to grind their
own axes.
Where there is any real question Of
the effect Of a change OF duty upon
some specific branch Of industry, it is
eminsntly proper for the committee to
summon the expert advice Of some
trustworthy person known to be IA
miliar with the subject To open its
sessions to the Importantly Of lobbyists
and attorneys is simply to invite an end
less food Of proftless talk, that will
leave no one any wiser than before and
postpone indefinitely the final settle
ment of the tariff question which the
country most urgently demands.
The Wilson bill is at least superior to
any OF the recent attempts at tariff re-
vision, and especially superior to the
Mckinley act, in that it has been
framed upon broad and thoughtful con-
sideration Of all the varied interests
involved, instead OF upon an attempt to
unite the special demands Of special in
terests In a selfish combination. There
are some OF these special interests that
are likely to be potential in the Senate,
but any return TO the old method of log
rolling will be a distinct step backward,
and will plunge the Senate and Finance
Committee into a sea of uncertainty.
The country looks now 70 the Senate
for consideration at least as careful,
and action az least as prompt, as was
given the subject in the House, with no
material departure from the general
lines OF tariff reform laid down in the
Wilson bill That is the only safe way
out, the only way in which the majority
Of the Senate can recover the confidence
Of the people, and assure TO the nation
an early return Of prosperity,

and it was saiT 10 loud toue from
several among those gathered to wit
ness the execution: "He dies a true
anarchist"
When valiant neared the guillotine
he glanced upward at the cleaning
knife between the two uprights. and
shouted: "Vive L'Anarchie." A mo-
ment later, as he was ascending the
steps leading to the platform OF the
guilotine, the desperate anarchist
shouted: "a mort les bnrgeoi." death

As he uttered this cry Valiant
reached the foot OF the sliding plank,
which leads the body Of the criminal
when strapped onto II beneath the
knife. After one quick push he cried:
death to society,"" Valiant had hard
ly uttered these words when he was
seized by NJ. Deibler's assistants and
thrown upon the sliding plank, or 6as-
culo, TO which he was strapped with
remarkable rapidity, and in less time
than 1t takes to write it his body was
thrust through the lunette, or hole in
the end of the scaffoid, upon which
half or locking piece falls after the
head is through, a spring was touched,
and the shining knife above the an
archist's neck sped downward with
swift and noiseless movement. There
was a terrible squirt of blood and the
mead OF Valiant, separated from its
trunk, fell into the basket of sawdust,
and ali was over.
With the greatest rapidity the head
and body of the Anarchist we're gather

escorted away from the scene OF the ex-
ecution at gallop. II the body of the
Anarchist is unclaimed it will go TO the
Academy Of Medicine, but it is under
stood that representatives OF the Social
ist societies have announced their inten-
tion of asking for permission to bury
the remains Of the executed man. As
the body was being carried away the
crowds made tremendous rush for
ward for the guillotine but were re-
strained by the troops and police, who
compelled the spectators TO remain In
place until the guillotine had been nm
ally removed. Thanks to the efforts OF
the authorities there was no disorder at
the execution, but this was probably
due to the large number Of police and
soldiers. One Of the features OF the
execution was the fact that among the
crowd gathered to witness it was large
number of people, male and female, in
masquerade dress who had come from
the balls held last night Among the
women present were some Of the lowest
Of the demi monde who behaved in the
most outrageously indecent manner.

But no woman unless she has beau

fashion that is more becoming, and in
which one is not quite so in evidehce.
For woman with thin, scraggy neck

Foot Ball aud scholarship.
C1isogo Ereaiag Post.


Apparently the faculty Of Princeton
college have not been affected by the
attacks upon foot ball emanating from
certain old gentlemen and ladies in
New York city. II was rumored that
the college authorities intended put
ting unusual restrictions on the game,
but from all accounts they have deci-
ded not 10 interfere at all. EXan1ina-
tion has proved that the members Of
the victorious foot ball team stand quite
as we'll in the classroom as non-playing
students. Ward, Ballet, Taylor and
Blake are "hlgh graders" while'Trench-
ard, Brown, Wheeler and King stand
well. AS one of the strongest argu-
ments of the critics was that devotion
to athletics checked the intellectual
progress OF the athletes, this ought to
go in as pretty good evidence to the IA
thers Of the land, who are the judges in
the end.
simultaneously with this announce.
ment comes another one TO the effect
that the movement for the modification
OF the rules of the game is making good
progress. II will probably result In
limiting interference, barring the more
dangerous mass play of this season, and
IMPOSING stricter duties upon the field
officers Of the game. These, 1t must be
admitted, ara necessary reforms. That
they have been undertaken by players
and ceachers dempnStrates the ability
of the great American college game TO
purge itself OF evils without rbe attend
ance of Old women nurses.

TEE Po1rERs AND TIE rARIFr

In some localities the "boss Dotters"
have beaten their striking employees, who
had either to work at the Reduction or
starvs. In other localities the workmen
remain firm.
AS TO the justice or injustice of the
strikes and lockouts in the various pot
terry centres OF the country outsiders
have not sufficient knowledge Of
the business to give an opin-
ion. but when the employers claim
that the reduction of 10 TO 90 per
cent is necessary ION account of the
Wilson bill, we know they state what
is pure fiction, aud they convict them
selves out Of their own mouths. They
say the prices Of their goods have de-
clined IS per cent. within a year, Yet
until q few months ago the Wilson bill
was not heard Of. The workmen who
refuse to accept the cut and who have
pretty thorough understanding OF the
details OF the business and its relation
to the tariff, declare the Wilson bill has
nothing whatever to do with the decline
in prices, which they show is due
simply to sharp competition among
American potteries The kind OF com
petition referred to is made clear By the
following instance;
A feature OF the trouble is that although
the sanitary pOtterieS are not affected by
the reduction. they arc all idle. This is
due 10 the fac, that tho Trenton lotteries
company. the syndicate controlling five
OF the large establishments, made q re-
duction Of S2R per cent. Ia the selling
prices of their wares few weeks AGO. in
order 20 bring 20 terms a rival pottery
which was cutting prices. The rival has
not capitUlatcd vet, and, as there is no
money i'm the business az the low selling
prices, the men have been laid of aud no
orders are being filed except from stock
on hand.
The greed Of the rich pottery trust is
responsible for the idleness OF the fac
tories; not the Wilson bin. These are
the plain facts az the case.

part Of tho Republican leaders, to pre-
vent the possibility Of Tariff Reform.
Fifteen millions comes of the Pension
bill, but that cut is due to the death
OF pensioners and the halt called
on the policy Of the last administration
Of rushing through pension claims with
out due inquiry as to their validity.
In the Sundry Civil bill $4,000, 900
comes of, making in all up TO date a
saving TO the taxpayers Of $4,000, 600
in two bills.
It's estimated that $4,000, 600 will
come of the River aud Harbor bill and
like amount of the Naval bill.
To the Postofice bill there will prob
ably be an increase.
Altogether it is estimated that the
expenses Of the government will be re-
duced over $50, 900, 600 at this session.
This, together with the reduction aud
equalization Of taxes made by the Wilson
bill, is a splendid showing for the Demo
cracy. 1t is a pity the reform cocld not
be made more complete, because Of the
footing of the Treasury under the last
Republican administration. Still, though
il might under different circumstances
be better, it is good as it is. The Demo
Gratis have, thus far, faithfully fulfilled
their pledges to the people.
