where the side OF the Hill is very pre-
cipitous, those who know exactly the
spot where TO look will be able to sec
from the railway carriage windows a

which Is between 200 and 500 feet in

1t is true that In the mountsbank
campaign initiated by the democratic
party in it's selectioa of candidates and
it's platform declarations the dangers
of repndiation, revolution, lawlessness
and anarchy did divert the public mind
in some measure from the tariff issue
which the collapse Of the Cleveland nd
ministrntion, the failure OF n demo
cratic congress and the consequent con-
dition of the national treasury had kept
predominant up to that moment. None
the less the fac5 remained that Maj
McKinley's nomination had been
broRght about chiefly because OF the
connection of his name with n tariff
measure and the issue of protection.
And now that the election is over and
republican administration and con-
crcss are secured. that question is still
open. IL must be. The treasury condi-
tions which have given so much un-
easiness and caused such wide financial
disturbance and business distress Inn
peratively demand a change in the rev.
enue laws. And that change must nec-
essarily be In accordance with repub-
lican principles and ideas.--N. Y
Tribune.
