TARIFF TINkERING VS.. TARIFF REvI.
SION

SION.
The effect Of the recent tariff controversy
eannot be otherwise than beneficial. It has
shown the ways of politicians and demon
strated tho influence of monied interests. 1t
has developed the real sentiment of the pub
lic and brought out the necessity of a busi-
ness method OF revising the tariff. 1t has
msds manifest the difference between tariff
tinkering by politicians and tariff revision by
mon guided by a fixed policy and governed
by an undertaking purpose. The country has
experienced a costly demonstration of the
first, and If any other tariff revision is needed
the public will insist upon the adoption of the
latter.
Labor creates wealth, but wealth is util-
lied to give employment to labor, and capi-
talists will not invest when the market is
fuctuating or the stability of trade and COM
merce is threatened by ill-advised laws or an
unsafe system of legislation. The American
method of creating laws is popular and salts
factory so long as ii is confined to ordinary
legislation, but W hen it comes to questions of
finance and the tariff, where the prosperity
of the country is involved, it lacks that palms.
taking research and investigation necessary
to a full knowledge of those important meas
ures.
Both the tariff and finance are primarily
the basis of prosperity when regulated by
wise and prudent methods. The one pro-
vides revenue for governmental purposes
and the other furnishes money for the trans
of hueiD xrbap I.rra
are enacted that effect either the tariff or
finances their preparation should be placed
In the hands of experts who thoroughly un-
derstand the fundamental principles of each
OF these economic questions. The necessity
of this precaution must be apparent. When
industries do not thrive, trade becomes stag
pant. When tho demand lessons, wage-earn-
ers suffer; when business depression exists
money becomes scarce and We have only to
look back on the past year to understand
why.
Next time the tariff is revised let it be done
by commission OF experts and not by COM
mittee whose time is partly taken up by other
important duties. The labors of Congress-
men are many. They are harassed and i'm
portuned on every side and have neither
time nor opportunity for close and careful
study. The differences Of opinion also largely
influence the preparation of a tariff bill and
make it a patchwork work of compromises,
tions of a commission. There are other rea-
sons which might be given why commissions
should prepare all our tariff and finance laws.

THE pYTHIAN ENcaMpmryT

DRYDEN Seeks a Mandamus.

Littleton T. Dryden, formerly shipping COM
missioner at the port of Baltimore, filed peti-
tion yesterday in the supreme court for . writ
of maIdamus to compel Secretary of the Treas
ury John G. Carlisle to restore him to his former
position shipping commissioner at Baltimore
and to Withdraw the appintment of Archibald
kirwin as his (Dryden's) successor. He bases
his demand on the Interpretation of the statute
which authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
to appoint shipping commissioner to ports
where he deems one is needed, and TO remove
him whenever he fails to conduct his office prop
erly. He maintains that he has conducted his
office in an eminently fitting manner, and offers
to produce witnesses whose testimony cannot be
impeached to prove the facts. Judge Cole is

DAINTY BEDsPREADs.
The Best Material for Embroidering Ar

The Best Material for Embroidering Ar
 tistic Coverlets.
 Among the reyivals of antique fash ions, the old-time coverlet, wrought in color, with tracery of fine em- broidery or a printed pattern, is one of the most attractive Fashionable up sholsterers are importing special pat terms in dainty silks, which are suitable for draping the bed tester as we'll as for the bedspread and bolster cover. The most beautiful bedspreads, how ever, are those embroidered by the patient fingers of the artistic needle woman.
 While it takes some time to work one of these coverlets, the time will hardly count if the work is done at odd min utes, picked up at times when the fingers might otherwise be idle. Ger man women accomplish an immense amount of needlework, doing it in this way--having it always on hand, and picking it mp at odd minutes while they are waiting for the fire to come up or the kettle to boil.
 The best material for embroidering a .counterpane is Bolton sheeting, which comes in ecrn in double width at about one dollar and twenty-five cents a yard. There is also a pretty repped cloth of the same width which is used by artistic needle=women for counter panes as well as for hangings. The best patterns for this purpose are all- over design, conventionalized leaves and vines intersect all over the ground The most fashionable patterns are in a medley of old tapestry colors fade blues, old rose, dull yellows and terra cottas. There are others embroidered in spe- cial flowers -eglantine for a pink room, cowslips or primroses for a vel low room, and dainty bluets for blue room. Again, the design, instead of flowers, may represent an arabesque in either pink, blue or yellow, to corre- spond with the room. Like the hand somest coverlets of the day, these counterpanes are not intended to be tucked in, but are finished with wide border of knotted fringe or of some rich linen lace, like Russian or Nal tese. which hangs over the edge of the bedstead in something of the effect of
