shall the lack be made up?
These questions are important and
may become pressing before the time
set for the regular meeting OF con-
gress, 1t is evident, however, that
only actual experience will show the
revenue-yielding capacity of the rem
nant of the i~ncolne-tax law. We shall
know before the end Of the fiscal wear
in June. The treasury officials are
hopeful that the from all
sources, which have lately increased
in an encouraging manner, will equal
the expenditures before that time.
But If new sources of revenue must
be had where shall they be sought?
Some of the republicans, upon whom
the initiative will rest, say ''restore
the Mckinley duties and secure both
ample revenues and adequate protec.
ton to American industries"
The claim is fallacious, the imputa-
tion is dishonest, These partisans con-
veniently ignore the fact that during
the four years run of the Mckinley
duties the customs revenues fell off
Sl57, 900, 900 compared with the proceed.
four years under the better tariff
of 1883. They ignore too the fact, Of

INDIANS A HIDE.
One of Them Gives an Exhibition of skill
Suggestive of Dime Novels.

One Of Them Gives an Exhibition OF skill
Suggestive OF Dime Novels.
The wonderful skill with which the
Indian can hide himself in the open
prairie is often referred to, In n book
on Indian life, particularly among the
Apaches, an incident of this is given.
The writer says that while crossing the
prairie with his guide, an Apache
named Quick Killer, the latter offered
to show how it is possible for an In
dian to accomplish the hiding even
when there is apparently nowhere to
hide.
The offer was accepted, and the
traveller was told to walk forward u
few steps and stop when he was told.
He had hardly taken ten steps when
Quick Killer called and announced that
he was ready to be found.
There was a little bush near, the
only break in the prairie about, and to
this the traveller returned. Quoting
his own words: II went round it three
or four times and looked in every di.
r~ection, but the prairie was smooth and
unbroken. 1t seemed as If the earth
had opened and swallowed up the man.
Unable to discover him. I~calledand
told him to come forth, when TO my
surprise he rose, laughing and reioieed,
within two feet of the position | then
occupied.
with incredible skill and activity
he had completely buried himself under
the thick grass. within six feet of the
bush, and had covered himself with
such deXterity that one might have
trodden upon him without discovering
his person.
II took no pains to conceal my aston
shment and admiration, which de.
him exceedingly, and he liz.
'orned me that the Apache children

The play which opened the winter

comedy drama by Edwin Milton Royle.
To the Average heatre.goer 1t contains
many dramatic incidents Of staple nature;
it is erciting, pathetic, auorldly and appeal.

good characters, and its interest is not for
from being genuine. 1t is not as full OF
momentary surprises as a great many
dramas are, but the scenes lead up from
one to another by very effective dove.
failing; something that Mr.. Royle may
place to his credit as playwright. 1t is
not without incongruities, however, and
some of them are not of a mild order.
When it was seen here before, it was
acted fairly we'll; this time it is acted
much better. One of the strongest
pieces of work on the stage is the acting
of E. D. Lions, the opium fend. 1t was
without exaggeration and truly chara.
cteristic. Miss Selena Fetter;Royle and
Edwin Milton Royle the author Of
Friends, played their original roles.
Lucius Henderson, in his earnest desire
to become heroic, slightly overpowers
his acting with his intensity to
make the audience aware of the
fact. His piano solos were render
ed very we'll. Harry Allen gave good
performance of one of those stately,
kind hearted, puffy, old stage. gentle
men, who usually put the audience in
good humor,
