| WAsAffaroN. d. C. Feb. IL, q
Senators J ones, Of Ark. Vestpf Mo
and Mills, Of Texas, the three ,,eet
democrats charged with the iuspcr.
tant duty of preparing the amend
ments to the Wilson tariff bill
which are to be submitted to the
Senate Finance committee, have
proven themselves giants and earn
ed the gratitude Of the country,
which wants the tariff disposed of
at the earliest possible moment. by
completing their work, and as the
other democratic members Of the
Finance committee have kept in
touch with them in their work it is
altogether probable that the amend
ments reported by them will all be
adopted BY the committee and that
the Wilson bill will be before the
Senate before the close of this week.
This breaks the record in commit
tee work on tariff bills and is high
ly reditable even more creditable
to them, The bill they have re-
ported will &c supported by every
democratic Senator. The proposed
amendments have not been made
public, but skeg are all in one d.
rection zAs If ipcfessing the rev.
enne which E1e new tariff will pro-,
duce. There are reasons for the
belief that among the proposed a.
mendments are duty on coal, and
on sugar, both raw and refined.
The subcommittee made no change
in the income tax. One of the
reasons for largely increas
ing the revenue features of the tar
if bill is that the democratic Sena-
tors are opposed to any further is
sue of bonds and propose to place
the Treasury in such a condition
that no more will be needed.
Had the House not adjourned
Saturday on account of the sudden
leath of Representative HOAX, of
Ohio, who dropped dead Friday af-
while visiting a friend, 1t
s probable that Representative
BANDS bill for the coinage of the
eigniorage in the Treasury
would have passed today.
That it will pass early this week is
he general expectation. There is
much talk about the bill being We
oed by President Cleveland, but
is admitted by those who say
hey expect it to be vetoed that
heir expectations are not based up
n any information they have re-
eiyed from the President. There
) also some talk about submitting
he bill to a democratic caucu and
hat may yet be done; not for the
urpoSe of endorsing it but for the
urpose of so changing it as to a.
old the danger of a veto.

EDITOR PULITZER.

The World, on the subject Of
business reviving, says:
The reasons for the revival OF
business all over the country are
apparent. In the first place, con-
sumption has been going on while
production has stopped. Stocks
have been permitted to run down
until now there is a demand that
must be supplied. The revival was
bound to come in course of nature.
The quickness Of the recovery is
due to American elasticity and Wig
or. 1t is due also to returning con-
fidence and to reasonable certainty
concerning the future. 1t could not
have come so soon We're it not for
therepeal Of the Sherman act.It has
been helped, too, by the passage of
the Wilson bill through the House
by a large majority. Manufacture
ers and merchants are thus assured
Of moderate tariff measure, and
are able to place their orders with
some certainty as to the cost of
goods.
Only enc thing can prevent a
brisk and profitable spring trade,
and that is undue delay in the Sem
ate.

A strike is prevailing among the
coal miners in the Kanawha valley.
At the Stephens coal mines Friday
night several hundred miners made
an attack on the sheriff. The sher-
ifs posse fired fifty snots in the air
The shots were returned and a
number charged, firing as they went
forward. John Foster, a citizen
who was standing in the door of his
house with a lantern, was struck in
the groin and will probably die.
The sheriff called to the infuriated
crowd not to come beyond a certain
point or he would fire. This awed
the mob and they dispersed.

Thought of Her Improvidence.

A couple, we'll advanced In years,
recently got married. But, alas! a
dark cloud overhung their otherwise
bright prospects. The husband kept
one room continually locked up, into
which the wife was not allowed to
look on any pretense whatever. AT
last, however, by deal Of persua-
ton he was induced to open the door
and revealed to her astonished gaze
a great pile Of whole cheeses. Her
curiosity was now greater than ever.
So, in answer to her appeals for an
explanation, he said:
well, my dear, every time had
a fresh sweetheart l bought cheese
the first time kissed her.
The newly wed bride at this wept
bitterly.
But" he said endeavoring to con.
sole her, Il have never had anything
