ening?
Washington, September 30-"The new
tariff law is unsatisfactory in it's opera
tions in my section of the country" said
ex- Representative Lewis Sperry OF Con-
necticut today. Through all our Woolen
manufactures there is a feeling OF uneasi-
ness, and while there is certain amount
of activity still there are few large
contracts being made on account of the
uncertainty of tine future. 1t is an In
efficient law
Mr.. Sperry was one of the Democrats
in the House who voted against the
Wilson Bill, but finally voted for the
present law. Despite the conditions that
have attended the present Administra-
tion. Mr.. Sperry stated that he would
| Just as willingly vote for Mr.. Cleveland
as any other Democrat, but he did not
| believe that the third term proposition
was at all popular.
| Representative Thomas Settle OF North
| Carolina has been in Washington for a
day or two, and reports the political
situation in his state as very favorable to
| the Republicans. The Democrats he
says, are very much divided on the silver
question, and at what purported to be
a non partisan silver convention, held in
his state few days ago, there developed
further Democratic rows.
| Mr.. Settle is great admirer and friend
of ex Speaker Reed, and is doing, all IN
his power to throw the North Carolina
delegation for Mr.. Reed in next year S
national convention. Gas matters
stand" said Mr.. Settle six out of the
nine districts of North Carolina are solid

entire delegation will be for him next

Beer or Clothing?

The decisien of the supreme court
annulling the income tax has depriv-
ed the government of many millions
of dollars annually. As consequence
the revenues are not sufficient TO
meet expenditures
One of the first duties OF the new
congress will be to provide all in
creased revenue. How shall it be
done,
Two ways have been suggested,
One is to add a dollar barrel to the
tax on beer. The other is to reim-
pose tariff duties upon wool and
woolens.
The one plan would with certainty
yield all the revenue required with.
out adding single penny to the ex.
penditures of the people, The other
would probably not yield the addi-
tional revenue required, because it
would tend to stop imports, while it
would certainly and greatly enhance
the cost of peoples clothing.
The beer tax would not increase
the retail price of beer. Every cent
of it would be paid out of the ex-

lead to the disruption of the union. This
was not the belief OF my husband, now
ever, and he then embarked in the fight
that gave to us tue day that has Just

This action, as history will show, only

stone to the glorious civilization OF the
present.

"Los Angeles was always the favorite
oIty of General FIemont, and here it is
that we have come to live that we may
be surrounded with his memories. To us
it is as grand moral atmosphere as it is

General Fremont was, like his wife, a
southerner, and was born in Georgia in
1913. He was employed IN his early youth
as teacher and was later appointed the
first professor of mathematics in the
navy" His acceptance of this position
brought upon him a rain of adverse
criticism, the scandal.mongers claiming
that the place had been created expressly
for himself. In 1888 he was placed In au.
thority as a lieutenant in the togpograph
ical engineer corps and at once began a
series of expeditions that led eventually
to the systematic exploration of the Pa
cific coast. year later he spent the win
ter at Washington as the guest of Senator
Benton. Here the young explorer was
enabled to meet many of the leading men
of the day, and from these he learne d uf
the enormous political value of the west
ern explorations.
Later Fremont was placed at the head
of the great expedition sent to explore
the northwest, out he gradually worked
his way to the southwark and In 1847
when the Mexican Californiaus capitu-
lated he was the real Representative of the
government in power. In speaking OF
his characteristic independence and ex-
ecutive ability recent writer said:
While he was left at critical times to
act solely upon his own judgment, he

other man cohnectsd with the whole

country what the moving forces were,
and it cannot be questioned that in the
main his actions were discreet and for
tunate throughout. Commodore Sloat,
the earliest in command of the little fleet
on the coast, could not understand the
swift march of events, and hesitated long
in any attempt to raise the nations flag
and take possession of the country. TO
Fremont it seemed plain that this was
manifest destiny, even before Com

command
Shortly after the concluding scenes of
the conquest of California came the most
trying time of the generals life. He had
been long cooperating with Stockton.
and when that officer was supplanted by
Kearnav, Fremont continued to take his
orders from the former, and for this the
new commander ordered him to be
arrested. President Polk remitted his
punishment. however and the general

before the agitation had eliminated in

the strong religious convict ons of Mrs.
Benton. In speaking of her family S

said that her father declined to accent a

She is more than ordinarily we'll read
and has quite a reputation IN the literary
world as writer. At presentishe has

In which she has been assisted by her
son, Lieutenant +. p. Fremont. Quite
number of her shorter stories have ap-

tertainers and her presence has bright
ened many an "event" On the South

i. Rich in the hearts of those who know
and love her, Mrs. Fremont is not a
wealthy woman in the goods OF this
world, and the strangest part of 1t is that
large part of her possessions were taken
from her forcibly by the government for
which she had sacrificed so much. AT one
time the Fremonts owned some thirteen
acres of property near what is now known
as Black Point, San Francisco. This land
cost originally some sal, 900. and that
sum was paid to the owners. in gold coin,
the deed of conveyance being made out
to Mrs. Fremont.
Shortly liter taking possession the
eagle eye OF some OF Uncle Sans army
