One of the articles which has dropped
in price in this country by reason of the
passage of the late Tariff bill, says the
Philadelphia Press, is clothing, and as
the time approaches for buying a new
spring suit, the great American public
will have the opportunity of securing one
of the few advantages of the new tariff.
The occasion will be all the more lmpor.
tant as every buyer of suit of clothes
has been living on less salary than he
did before the bill passed But what is
a hundred dollars in salary If you can
save five dollars on suit of clothes?

The Spanish authorities have, finally,
concluded that cruiser, Conde de Vene-
ditto, did fire on the Alliance, but the
Spaniard says the mail ship displayed
the English flag. Meantime, Gresham,
in a burst of Americanism, during the
absence of his master, Grover l., de-
manded an apology and reparation of
Spain. Accounts conflict as to whether
he got satisfactory reply, but the Incl
dent no doubt will be amicably settled.
The action and talk of the Spanish Min
lister at Washington shows to what
depths of infamy our Democratic foreign
policy has brought us. Under Repub-
lican administration no fifth class power
like Spain would have dared to af-
front us.

One of the Democratic arguments

large foreign population. Then all the
greater need of it. In the coal and coke
regions it 10 declared that multitudes of
children are getting no schooling what
ever. In the State at large, outside of
Philadelphia, it is insisted that one.sev-

This is grave condition of things, and
it is surp Using that in a great, progress

POLLY.
Polly was a butterfly

Polly was butterfly
With gddy brain;
Thought that life was only fun,
Never dreamed of pain.
Polly lost her little heart,
Threw it do Sn with JOY,
At the patent leather feet
OF a foolish boy.
They were welded Then she wokes
Opened wide her eyes;
Found that life was sober fact
Hard on butterflies.
Pretty little Polly weeps,
All, alas, too late;
ThouRhtless girls. a warning takes
From her sorry fate.
Fine moustache and football hair,
Waist of narrow span,
Pointed patent leather shoes
Do not make man.
Brains are wanted, also he arts,
To supply your need;
Polly has a lesson given,
All who run may read. Judith Wells.

IS ANGRY.

The splendid work of Madison's del
egation in the legislature, backed by
petitions from every post office in the
county, bearing the signature of nearly
every citizen in the county. have
Jointly killed Alderson's bill to
s~egregate a portion of Madison
county and annex it to Gallatin. While
the vote has not been actually taken
late advices from the capital point to
this happy conclusion. The MADI-
SONIAN modestly claims a share of the
glory of the victory. Its course, how
ever, wa no approved by Major AL
derson. and the last issue of his paper,
the Avant Courier. contains the fol-
lowing whitening comment:
1T is to be hoped that the editor Of
the MADISONIAN will acquire iudg-
ment as be attains age.
We must plead guilty to the charge
of having been born not very long
ago. Our birth was an accident over
which we had no control.
We infer. from the Courier's paral-
zing paragraph, that had we supported
MAJOR Aldcrson's measure. the Courier
might have endorsed us as a Young
person of exceptionally good Judgment.
II neglecting the vital interests of ones
county constitutes judgment we do not
covet the possession of that virtue.
We quite agree with our venerable
contemporary that Judgment comes
with age. But there are exceptions to
this law OF nature and a notable one in
the case of Major Anderson. He dis
played assinine Judgment when he in
PRODUCED his bill to cut off a portion of
Madison county for the benefit of Gala
tin. and with astute assininitv he brays
when he realizes the hopelessness OF
his unjust course. Judgment should
come with age and in this respect we
hope that Father Time will deal more
kindly with us than he has with ON.

Il is unjust and unreasonable.


Again all persons engaged in selling
goods are subject to the license, the
minimum being 81 per month. There
is many a poor widow in the state
eking out a scanty living by keeping
small shops, whose support would be
greatly lessened. Do not require
license from those who do not sell over
$500 per month.
The license provisions are of small
moment compared with other provis-
ions of the code. but we have mention
ed them as being the most easily UNDER
stood and explained. The code as it
will open the way to endless
litigation. Let it be amended SO that
its provisions may be understood ty
all. and SO that its burdens may fall
as equally as possible upon all, whether
private citizen or corporate monopoly.

B~EAVERHEAD WITH Us.

Our excellent contemporary, the Dill
Ion Examiner. in its last issue places
itself on record as opposed to the seq
regation of a portion Of Madison
county for the benefit of Gallatin as fol-
lows:
The Gallatin county members in
the legislature have introduced and
are pushing a bill for the segregation
OF the northeastern portion of Madison
county and it's attachment to Gallatin
county. If there are any merits to
this proposition it's promoters have
signally failed to demonstrate them.
The people living in hat section of the
country are within a convenient dis
lance from their present county seat
Virginia City, and they are anything
but unanimous in favor of this annexa-
ton scheme. Every legislative session
brings forth a number of these anneXa-
ton or segregation schemes. Instead
of being conceived for the convenience
of the people affected by the change.
its promoters r generally actuated by
a desire to benefit their own county.
regardless of the consequences to the
county from which the territory is to
be taken. There ought to be no
change in long established county lines
unless an ~undeniable necessity exists.

SOME GLAZING FAULTS.

The new code adopted during the
early days OF the present session, was
provided for by the legislature several
years ago. by the appointment of a code
commission. The result of their
labors has been presented at several
proceeding sessions. but for various
reasons, was not taken up until the
present.
We understand that the claims pre-
sented for the compilation are nearl Y
3o,Oo0, while, as we are informed the
amount named in the original contract
Tor the work was but 50. 600. Il was
generally understood that this com
mission was simply to codify and rear
range our existing laws. but the com
mlssloners, following their own sweet
fancy, have given us a code which can
hardly claim kinship with the original.
This code was hastily adopted. 1t was
known to be d bad dose. but the
legislature decided to administer it,
watch the symptoms, and apply nee
essary antidotes from time to time as
n~nfaVorable symptoms developed.
FROM all parts OF the county and
state: from every interest in the state
come complaints in regard to its Dro-
visions. Its effect will surely be to in
crease the burden of taxation: to ham
per nearly all industries and to vine
ont many. The necessity for its amend
ment IS urgent and imperative. We
nave not space to review the code as a
whole, but will point out a few of the
points which will directly effect the
people. We have previously referred
to additional burdens placed upon
county officials: We now call attention
to the provisions in regard to the treas
urer, which require him to keep all
public monies in his possession. He is
not allowed to deposit in any bank in
the state as a special deposit. No bank
would think OF receiving such a depos-
1t unless paid therefore. as the funds
are not under the banks control. can
not be touched by the bank. while the
bank is responsible for its safe keen
ing No checks can be given against
this special deposit. The treasurer
must himself 60 to the bank and from
his special deposit count out the neces.
sary amount. Does anyone for a mo-
ment think that it would be safe 70
leave a large amount OF money in tbe
county vaults. Would it be sufficient
protection. or would it be safe for him
TO undertake to carry the county bonds
upon his person:
is especially unjust to the treasurer.
Moreover, dung the month of No.
vember, lin which taxes are paid the
effect would be to practically retire
from circulation every dollar in the
countyuntilthe succeeding month, when
me county would begin to pay its bills.

Again, take the provisions fixing the
duties of trustees and county superin-
tendents of schools. The duties of the
county superintendent is such that a
large part of his time is taken up in
visiting schools in different sections of
the county. Under the code the trus-
tees no longer draw their warrants In
payment of teachers salaries or other
bills. upon the treasurer, but upon the
county superintendent. The superin-
tendent must then refer to his books
and ascertain wherever the district
drawing the warrant has a credit, and
if 5 the superintendent gives an order
for the amount of warrant on the
county treasurer. The result will be
that the teachers and others having
claims will be put to needless annoy
ance and Oftentimes weeks delay.
Again. the superintendent is author
lied to order repairs to a school house
