VOORHEES, AND znE tariffs BILL


Chairman VOORHEES, made a mas
Early presentation OF the tariff issue and
strong defense Of the Wilson bill
IN his opening Of the debate on that
measure in the Senate. His address, not
long enough to weary the reader or the
hearer, was full Of startling truths,
eouched in such language as TO COM
mand attention, and full Of uucontro-
vertible statements. No great reform
can be suddenly accomplished and while
there are many, who, like Mr.. NooR-
urEs. are not entirely satisfied with all
the provisions Of the pending measure,
thew must remember that all reforms
must be gradual. A bill, which saves
70 the people OF the country over
,eveutv-six millions Of dollars year in
taxes and yet supplies the requirements
OF the government, must commend it.
self TO every one who is in favor Of tar
IL reform even though he may not be
entirely satisfied with al Of its proyis-
ions.
The greatest reductions in the existing
tariff are made upon the necessities Of
life, the articles used By those least
able TO contribute to the support OF the
government, and the Injuries Of life are
made 10 contribute a greater proportion
Of the revenue.
The very able argument Of Mr.. VooR-
HE'S, in favor OF the passage OF the
bin, will be found in the news columns
Of the REeIsTER. and will prove most

The daily dispatches continue to
bring news OF revlving business aud
industrial activity. All through the
country, mills are running, factories
starting up and IN the last two weeks
many thousands OF men have been
given employment. Comparatively few
Of the workmen OF the country are now
without work, or the opportunity to
work, and the very strikes themselves,
made to secure better pay, bear witness
10 the more favorable conditions under
which business is now being conducted.
The Chattanooga Tradcsmdn, the lead
ing industrial paper OF the South, in its
current issue says:
The reports received from all the prin-
cipal points ia the Southern States indi-
cate that there is a very general and wide
spread revival in Industrial, business and
financial circles. Favorable weather has
been promptly taken advantage OF and
many new buildings are in progress.
There is also a considerable increase both
in the number Of new industries reported,
and in the number of engagements Of man
ufacturing plants. An interesting and
velopment is that it covers almost every
branch Of manufactures.
Every branch of manufactures" Is
sharing this prosperity. Not merely a
single industry, iostered by a patsrnal
government, bounty-ied or trust-pro-
tected, but every branch Of business.
So long as the country was in doubt
as TO the policy OF the party in power
upon the tariff and financial questions,
so long was continued the depressed
condition into which Republican legisla-
ton had thrown the country. Fear that
the Democrats might not carry out the
pledges of the party gave an uncer-
tainty to business which could only be
removed by unmistaka6le action upon
the part of Congress. That action has
been taken, though not as quickly as it
should have been. The silver law has
been repealed and the finances Of the
country placed upon sound basis. Inc
tariff bin has passed the House
and in the course OF time will pass the
Senate. Thus treasured, the business
Of the country has revived and once
more assumed q normal condition. The
passage Of the Wilson bill by the Senate
and the enactment Of a Democratic
tariff law will not only restore conf
dence, but viii produce the most favor
able conditions for business Of all
kinds. The development Of
every branch Of manufactures, "
which has been so stimulated
by the prospect Of a favorable law,
will after it's passage, be even further
stimulated, and the promised reign of
Democratic prosperity will follow.
Let the Senate hasten the passage Of
the tariff bill and see the result.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 9-The
nomination to-day Of James d. Yea
mans, Of Iowa, 90 the vacant Inter
state Commerce CommlSsiOnership was
a good deal of a disappointment 10 the
supporters Of Hon. Joseph T.. Chiffon, Of
West Virginia, who have had good rea-
son 90 suppose Tor some days
that the President was strongly
inclined 70 appoint him because Of
his admitted fitness for the place
and the exceptionally strong backing
which he had from Democratic Senators
and from prominent Democrats
throughout the great middle region
comprising the States Of Indiana, Ohio,
kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia,
Maryland. In fact, the contest for the
place became a geographical one be-
tween the Middle States named and the
Northwest and the President finally
decided that the latter region
had the better claim to the
appointment II it had come TO the
middle region Mr. ChitoD would IN
doubtedly have been selected for the
position. The latter's hackers contend
ed that the commission as at present
constituted, two members being from
the extreme east, one from the extreme
south aud one from the west represents
exclusively the "lo0g haul' OF com
merce, and that man from the middle
section should De put in 70 represent
the short haul" Of commerce.

SOME PBRILOUS POSES
TEE split AND The HIGH KICK
Boms-Brsaking OonOrtons INDUCED IL BY Girls
Who Make Their Living as Dancsrs-A
Chat With Two Entertainers at Morning
Rehearsal.

Not many people who have seen the
,split" and some other kindred feats OF
dancing are aware that hard and con-
tinnous work must be done by the girls
who thus imperil life and limb while
furnishing this kind of entertainment
for the public. When Bertoto died In
New York a week or two ago as re-
suit according to medical testimony
of doing "the split" too often, more or
less newspaper comment was INDUCED
in, and occasional reference was made
to the perlls which such performers
had to face, but the melancholy fate OIL
the young girl has by this time been
almost forgotten. A reporter for the
New York Morning Journal visited the
stage OF theater the other day whlle
a rehearsal was in progress and re-
NAMED while Miss Edith Murray and
Miss Jennie Grovini were lat work"
One or two stage hands were busy
pushing set rocks about while the
cleaners out in the body OF the theater
kent hard at work in anticipation or

with a slight effort, threw her left leg
bout her chnm's neck. but the position
was too difficult 10 hold for any length
of time, and an instant later the TWO
bundles OF femininty were all In heap
laughing aud trying to untangle them
selves without breaking any limbs.
Then, after getting on their feet with
ont any bones broken. they proceeded
10 climb on one another's shoulders
while the stage hand continued TO carry
the house along the back CT the stage.
After trying almost every way possible
10 climb down from each others should
ers without making any new discovery
regarding q graceful landing they
paused for another recuperatlon OF
breath.
Miss Grovini brsathed hard for few
minutes, and as she lodged grass mat
which some one dropped from the rope
loft remarked:
"Maybe folks don't think we have to
work hard to have the public say were
Just little interesting"

Lets try it," said Miss Grovini, ana

the coming performance. Neither
the stage hands nor the cleaners paid
much attention to the two young
women when they emerged from their
derssing-room and crowded through
portions OF palaces, mountains, rivers
and other things which stood about the
stage. They have seen the same young
ladies every morning during the week,
and although they took good-natured
interest I'm them, they had their own
work to attend to. When the girls
entered the theater they looked like
two swell society favorites, but when
they reached the stage after changing
costume they resembled couple OF
girls lust about TO take plunge IN the
midsummer surf. They wore simply a
pair OF trousers reaching TO the kuee,
stockings, sandals and b.ouses, while
each carried an abbreviated skirt,
which was thrown carelessly aside for a
few moments.
Then the girls started to unroll big
"stage pad" when one of the men
dropped tree and came to their rescue.
AS soon as the pad" was in position
the girls amused themselves by doing a
series OF fip-6aps and splits just to
timber up before commencing the real
hard work. The real hard work, how
ever, might be termed improvison, be-
cause as soon as the two dancers be-
came thoroughly interested and forgot
all about being tired they and twisted
themselves about without any rule or
reason except to keep the entire body
perfectly supple, and to try to find
some step, movement or position to
please the public, which is new and
original.
IMPROVING DANCES.
Both Miss Murray and Miss CROWN
are still in their teens, but they have
worked and practiced together since
they were l2 years old, and, according
to what they told the reporter. 1t seems
as though their every move, when
dancing in private. was sympathetic.
In other words, their steps and contor-
tlons always blended without any pre-
conperted arrangement.

concerted arrangement.

"rve often heard of how the great
musical composers improvised aRd
found their beautiful melodies" said
Miss Murray, as she paused in her
work for breath or two; "but some
how no one ever says anything about
dancers improvising. The public
with, OF course, some few exceptions
seem TO think dancing is all cut and
dried by the dancing master and each
dance constructed asa man would build
a house, but in my mind, and l think
Miss Grovini will agree with me, the
dancers OF the present day improvlse
as much as musical composers; that is
IL they love their art. over hall the
positions and poses we do when we
dance every night" continued Miss
Murray, "have been found as we tum-
bled about ons stage or another IN
the morning. just like you see Us now.
AT frst they are, OF course, very crude,

it's rather hard work 10 find out great
number of new movements and posi-
tions which other folks have not done. ,
Then Miss GrovIni aud Miss Murray
