The Thrift.

Mr.. Sherman said in his speech when
he took the chair In the GAINESVILLE con-
vention on Tuesday that there were
Democrats not a few who would vote
next fall with the Republicans on the
tariff question. Evidently, Mr. Sherman
has been reading up" but has confined
his reading to last years almanac. The
businessmen have set their faces against
any general revision OF the tariff for
years 20 come. There may be defects in
the German BILL which will need TO be
corrected as soon as possible, but the
tariff, as a whole, will be allowed to
stand for years as IT Is. 1t cannot be
revised in fun without interfering serl-
ously with business. and so no attempt
Will be made thus to revise it. Ohio may
declare FOR new protective tariff. but
when the roll of States is called it
will be found that there are few TO fol-

And night 10 day succeeds
With calm whose benediction falls

VICTORY FOR THE STRIKERS.

The Brooklyn Board of Aldermen at
a recent meeting adopted resolution
presented by representatives of the
striking motermen and conductors, re-
scinding the franchises and privileges
granted to the Brooklyn trolley lines
connected with the present strike. The
vote stood ten for and eight against.
The chairman voted I'm the negative
One of the aldermen said the action of
the board was not legal, claiming the
aldermen had no right to revoke the
privileges granted to the roads.
The following afternoon 1000 strikers
marched to the City Hall, where they
were greeted with cheers from 1000
people. The committee which was to
present to the Board of Arbitration a
petition, Master Workman Connolly,
Bast, Collins and Giblin, assembled the
steps of the City Hall, and the body of
strikers marched around the corner to
Jeroloman street. While police Inspec-
tor Mcclellan was attempting to disperse
the mob, fifty mounted police charged
on the crowd and drove them off the
the square.
