Perhaps never in the history of
modern journalism has any newspaper
gained SO rapidly in public favor as
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within
the past two years 1t has by adopting
progressive methods, and injecting
push and enterprise IN all its depart
ments forced itself into the very front
rank of great Chicago newspapers.
That this popularity IS deserved is
beyond question. The publisher dur
ing this time, Mr.. Fl. H. Kohlsaat has
spared neither expense nor effort to
attain his ideal-and he has succeed
ed.
Uncompromislngly Republican on
all National issues, The Inter Ocean
does battle for what IT believes to be
the true faith in manner that at
once commands the attention of the
public and respect of all. 1t can be
recommended to those who desire a
clean, reliable, enterprising metro
politan family newspaper.

THE rARfrF BrLL A LAr.

The German tariff bill as II will be known
TO history has become q law without the
signature OF the president, agreeable to the
provision OF the constitution, which says. III
any bill shall not be returned by the presl-
dent within ten days Sundays excepted after
1t shall have been presented to him. the
same shall be law In like manner as II he
had signed" etc. The ten days limit was
reached at midnight last night The act goes
into immediate effect, except as to the income
tax provision and part Of the wooden sched-
ttc and Secretary Carlisle has issued instruc-
tionS tr collectors OF customs with regard
to carrying out its provisions. 1t was re-
ported q few days ago that the Treasury
department had ruled that woo made free
under the new law which has been imported
and placed in bonded warehouses, would have
10 pay the duty under the Mckinley law un-
less exported and reimported, but it ap-
pears that this was mistake, the secretary
Of the treasury having instructed collectors
OF customs that all goods in bonded ware
houses made free of duty under the new
tariff are entitled to free entry without being
exported and reimported This will be a
great relief to the importers, but 1t means
considerable loss to the treasury. Another
feature of the secretary's instructions is the
abandonment Of the discriminating duties on
the products OF the several countries which
did not enter into reciprocity arrangements
as provided in the Mckinley law.
In permitting the new bill to become a
law without his signature the president has
done what was very generally expected, but
business affected by the tariff has, neverthe-
less. continued under more or less restraint.
because there was no official authority for
the belief that the president would take this
course. and 1t was felt up to the last mo-
ment that Mr.. Cleveland might have sur
prise in store for the country. Now that all
suspense and uncertainty Is at an end 1t
should speedily be developed whether there
is to be such an industrial revival as the
authors of the new law have promised and
everybody hopes for There has certainly
been some Improvement since the passage OF
the new law. but 1t is probable that our man.
ufacturers will be disposed to feel their
way cautiously until they ascertain the
effect upon the market Of importations and
get better idea of the intention Of foreign
manufacturers But at any rate the country
| will feel great relief that the end Of the Ions
| and costly struggle has been reached.

The increase in the volume Of business in
Omaha last week over corresponding period
last year may be partially accounted for
in the fact that eastern jobbers have with
held credit from many old customers through
out this section. The result has been of ad-
vantage to Omaha jobbers, who are in po-
sition to know their customers, and are
demonstrating their ability to duplicate east
ern prices. This condition of things is now
and will continue to be a source of profit
to our merchants. Customers thus gained
will be held and Omaha's trade extended
TO larger proportions. One firm sold nearly
$50 900 worth of goods in the Black Hills
country the past month, and has, during
the season, covered territory to the north

chants. It's an i'll wind that blows nobody

"Greater Love Hath No Congrcnsmau
THAN This.W


THAN This."
It Is seriously announced. says the Wash
ing,on star that Representative Bryan Of
Nebraska has devoted what he terms his
quota Of plants from the Botanic Gardens"
to the decoration cf the grave OF Thomas
Jefferson. more affecting tribute than this
can hardly be imagined. and many sympa-
thetic tears will roll down the cheeks Of
those who worship the memory OF Monti-
cello's sage. Meek and lOwly followers of
JeHerson.an doctrines have at times hoped
that some day hOnors would be heaped upon
the sod beneath which Is the last resting
place Of him who prepared the Declaration
of Independence. but never in the most op-
timistlc OF their dreams did exaggerated
mental visions behold the beauties Of Mr.
Bryan's quota of plants from the Botanic
Gardens'-the blossoming cacti. the graceful
palm, the fragrant heather and the gorgeous
tulip. Daisies and roses were looked for hol-
lyhcoks regarded as probabilities, golden-rod
permitted. but beyond these and few other
of the simpler wild and cultivated varieties
no Monticellan hopes had scared. And now
comes this torrent of generosity, which prom
tses to make Jeifcrson's grave blossom with
floral radiance such as Is likely to break
the horticultural record How this example
is going to AFFECT the remainder Of the
Ffty-third congress may not now be guessed
at, but the chances are that the ancient and
honored practice of distributing among con-
stituents such bllSsoming and other verdure
as can be secured from the eleemOsynary in
stitution which Superintendent Smith has
conducted with such admirable success viii
be continued until tho end A few statesmen
may be willing to give Jefferson a handful
or two of the cut flowers they beg from the
propogating gardens, but such lavish prOdi-
gality as that Of MIR. Bryan is not likely TO
be contagious enough to cause comment.
Curious people may wonder and ask what
Thomas Jefierson-the premier advocate Of
governmental simplicity and administrative
economy--wOuld think of congressman
who call upon the nation to provide them
with valuable plants and rare orchids. No
one knows, and what Is more no cares
1t is enough that Mr.. Bryan has elected to
beautify the Jefferson tomb, even though he
may do 1t in a consp.cuously un-Jeffersonian,
OF even ant-Jehersonian, fashion, MIR.
Bryan has, however. done more than little
thing. With his senatorial campaign just
about TO get something of move on itself.
and with many an empty flower pot in Ne
braska, he Is careless of his future that he
may honor the shades of him whose departed,
yet ever-present, greatness he adores. Greater
love hath no congressman than this: That
he lay down his quota Of plants on the
grave of man who. by reason of his occu-
pancy of grave, has become as a resident
Of the District Of Columbia and can no
longer exercise the American voting privi-
lpge.

We robbed the farmer of his wool,
And cunningly and deftly planned
That Canada sho ould have the pulp

We bowed before the whisky ring,
And did the syndicates no i'll

The infamous Mckinley bill.
We crippled all our factories
And tore the warp from many loom
We blighted our home industries,
And shadowed all the land in gloom;
We served the greedy Sugar trust,
And let 1t work its sovereign will
But then we trampled in the dust
The Infamous Mckinley bill.
We cut the laborer's wages down,
And filed his home with want and careI
Or turned him workless from the town

We caused a shout of hopeful joy
To rise from every foreign mill
But then we managed to destroy
The infamous Mckinley bill.
We helped monopolies and rings,
And favored trusts, both old and new
In short, we did the very things
We once declared we wouldn't do,
We failed, tbs true, to bring about
The least reform--and always will
But then we smashed and blotted on

What President Cleveland expects to

responsible for it as he would be if he
