ST. LOUIS. Aug. 16.-Wholesale dry
goods merchants expect a still further
revival OF trade now that a tarifr bill

and wholesale hardware merchants Of
this city have had thousands upon thou
sands OF dollars worth OF imported
goods lying in bond for several months
while waiting to see what the outcome
OF the tariff legislation would be. ard
these goods will be withdrawn from bond
as quickly as possible and are to be
thrown on the market.
Merchants have figured that the pass
age of tarin bill lowering the duties
would fully compensate them for the
loss OF time and for the interest on their
to remain in bono. The result was that
they only Withdrew Just the amount OF
goods that they absolutely needed for

American Kids Scheme.

To the Editor:
While so much ''bossism'' is being brought
to light at the present time, all good minded
citizens must be thinking how politics can be
bettered. The following Ideas are offered:
Most of the political bosses are foreign-born,
and consequently have little love for this country
When these people 80 into politics here they
do so with tho sole idea Of making as much
out OF 1t az they possibly can do.
They come here with the settled policies
Of foreign countries In their minds. and believe
that because the countries from which they
come prosper under such policies they
are best. In these two facts lies the principal
cause OF much OF the present misruie
Believing that among natural-born Americans
more respect for the land we live In is held,
the idea is put forth for the formation OF an
American Native Political League. the objects
being to put more natives In once from Alder
men up when practicable and when the League
would have power.
Much good could also Be done by Sighting the
nominations Of either Of the two great parties
when mon not At for once are nominated.
Another good plan would be to run candidates
for small onices. and when they have served
in once them for one higher Thus ex-
perlencs would be gained. which would be bens-
ncial In running for some higher once.
Trusting to hear from Of your corre-
spondents what they think OF such = scheme
and thanking you in anticipation, am,

woxAH's WILL AND THE SUFFRAGE.

Probably this outcome Of the struggle

State. regardless of sex. In its appli-
cation to this question Of getting the
right to vote. the old saying that :" when
a woman will, sho will." Is limited by
a doubt as to whether she really Wills,
1t Is not In evidence that the larger
number of members of the gentler sex
want to become active politicians, even
to the extent OF casting a vote. Peti-
lions favoring the cause of woman suf-
frage were presented Mt the Convention

What was lacking was a spontaneous
outburst on the part Of all womanhood-
the voice as OF one eager and earnest

noble women and thoughtful men. The
cause OF extended suffrage was never
better or more strongly put before any

The benefit for the Sick Babies Fund
and the Children's Aid Society at Proc
tors Theatre yesterday was certainly an
artistic success. and, 1t Is to be hoped, a
financial success also. Just how much
was realized cannot be determined, un-
til the tickets that were left on salo at
hotels, news-stands and other places all
over the city have been accounted for.
This will be done to-day. 1t could not
very well have been done yesterday, as
1t would have been unwlse to have
called in the tickets on the day OF the
show, especially when hotels are full Of
people nowadays who are casting about
for entertainment.
The house was only comfortably filled
yesterday, and the rain kept many
away In the evening. but several hun
dred dollars was taken in. This will be
swelled considerably when the returns
from the special tickets come in.
Many tickets were bought that were
not used and many kind-hearted and
generous people paid for tickets that
they did not intend to use. For in
stance, James Rankin bought twenty
eight merely to give away, and Alfred
Stone and Prof. Geo. +. Lehr took six
each for the same purpose.
The day tickets ordinarily were good
only till o'clock, but Manager Proctor
with his usual generosity took all that
were presented through the evening. and
they were many.
The entertainment was first class
that goes without saying-and the the
atre was well filled with little children

who had come to aid the little children
OF the poor.

plauded to the echo, and well 1t deserved
