n BOND ISSUE.
A Fight To BE Made On the Tariff
Bill-The Deficit.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-That an
income tax will go a long way to-
ward making up the deficit is GER
The deficit is inevitable for
the governments monthly expendi-
lures even now are several millions
greater than its receipts. To tenn
porarily stop the gap a small bond
issue continues to be pertinaciously
suggested-large enough, however,
to cover not only existing deticien-
cies, but the greater probable deficit
to occur before increased importa-
tons, the income tax and other rev.
enue raising features of the new bill
can become operative. To this sug-
gestion incoming congressman OPP
pose, as heretofore, sturdy resist
ance, arguing that an increase OF
the bonded debt in time of peace
would be fatal politically.
Whatever may be its prospective
political effect, the measure appears
to grow every day more essential Of
adoption as the only temporary cure
for the continuing burden of extrav-
agant proteetionist legislation and a
pension list that absorbs more
money than the Mckinley tariff pro-
duces.
The justification of the warning
recently given that it is in the senate
that tariff reform will encounter
most dangerous opposition, day by
day even during this holiday season,
becomes more complete. The prob
able detection of the third party
men is becoming certain. Loud
mouthed Irby made his threat de.
liberately long ago. Now comes
PETER with words of bitter denunei.
ation of the bill. He says that it i;
a hypoeritieal measure, essentially
protective in its scope and that hi
will oppose it. And, when the sub
stance of all his opposition is con
centrated and analysed, one fnd'

Whiskers.

Concerning boards as now worn, il
is obvious there has been great
change latterly. Every one is now
wearing n pointed V-shaped Vandyke
beard, while few years ago the Van
dyke beard was unknown, and the
popular beard followed very much the
shape of the face. And they say the
change is all due TO the Prince of
Wales. 1t rose i'll this way: The
Prince has u barber who sees to his
hair. The barber noticed that latterly
his Royal Highness was growing lit
tie stouter, and he thought change
in the shape of the beard would be
more becoming.
This view he communicated TO the
Prince, who thoroughly acquiesced.
The die was cast and the deed was
done. That day the Prince had aud
has ever since retained Vanlyke
beard.
But that day was three years ago.
In the interval fashionable men with
circular faces discovered that the
rounded beard added to the appear
] hhNt VI
beard reduced it, So they took the
Princes hint and followed it. Grad
ually thinner men, who were also
fashionable, followed their leader,
and one saw the pointed beard every
where. Then it became matter of
fashion, and now, OF course, every
one is adopting 1t.
1t was very much the same twenty
years ago about that lock OF hair on
the forehead. Capoul made n de.
but in Paul and Virginia, and looked
peculiarly fascinating with the lock
ON the forehead. Other young men,
who thought themselves good looking,
followed the example, and the coiifure
q la Capoul ran all through Paris, and
got specially in vogue with garcons in
restaurants, who annexed it as body.
Mems fashions are little more stable
than women's. The haira la Capoul
is still worn. Who shall say how long
we shall have the Yandyke beard
Possibly thirty years hence it may
still be worn, when the cause OF its ia.
| PRODUCTION may be quite forgotten.
