pass n tariff bill. But when? That Is the
interesting question. According to the Nc
Kinley programme, it should be passed in
time to go into effect July next. But
here comes the Democrats, through the
voice OF Senator German, their recognized
leader on the floor of congress, serving no
tice that there must be full and fair de-
bate" The opposition must have ample
opportunity to "puncture' the bill and to
expose Its enormities and inequalities.
Here Ia where the Democrats have an i'm
mense advantage over the Republicans.
They need not permit the Republicans to
pass their bill until August or September,
or even till the following winter, IL they
care to press their point, for under the
rules OF the senate, as every one knows, IL
is not possible even for large majority to
bring any question to vote till the mi.
nority be willing to have 1t done.
In other words, the Republicans and
Democrats are agreed that the former shall
pass tariff bill and take responsibility for
whatever follows. But the striking differ.
ence between them Is that the Republicans
want to pass 10 quickly-by the lst of June
while the Democrats may not want IL
passed for months afterward, and they have
the power to carry their point. III they con-
clude next spring that it will embarrass
the new administration greatly TO have
postponement Of the date on which the tar
iff law shall take effect, you may depend
upon 1t there will be delay There will be
full and fair debate. The Republicans
will have but slender majority In the
next senate at best One vote to the good
is all they expect In such situation, IL Is
easy to see, the Democrats have the whip
hand The Republican policy. so boldly
and carefully framed, cannot be carried out
without Democratic consent.
All the signs of the times are that we
have some lively days ahead Of us, both as
to our domestic concerns and our foreign
relations WALTER WELLMAN

It WINS Not n NIirncIc.

A short time ago a party Of Brooklyn
people were discussing 'isms" of various
kinds, from which they branched off into
miracles, says the New York Tribune. one
Of them told the following story:
Speaking of miracles YOU all know Mrs
=, and you all know that she is a be-
lever in Christian Science. A year or more
ago Mrs. s. was troubled with a most
eXcruciatfng toOthaChe and was using va
rlOus toothache remedies to allay the
pain. One Of her friends, willing to laugh
little at her expense, said How can
you have toothache? Why don't you deny
the acne, and the cavity. and all the rest
of the business? There is no such a thing
IN what you profess to believe as pain
Ihat Is an error. Deny the error and it
VIII flee from YOU
Far from being angry at this Mrs s.
thanked her friend for bringing her back
to her principles, and said she would DENY
the pain. the cavity and all the rest of it,
Inc toothache passed away and time crept
on unul nearly year had passed. when
the man who had laughed at the Christian
scientist asked her one evening how her
toothache was. She said that she did not
know. she had denied the ache and the cav
ity and all the other errors, and she had
really been freed from her pain, since which
time she had thought little or nothing
about the cavity. Then she took a hand
glass and looked for the cavity. 1t was
gone. There was a solid, sound tooth in
the place Of the decayed one of the year
before" -
There was doubter present who walked
the earth in the shape of a ID. D. S. At this
moment the doctor of dental surgery came
into the story, with the remark: ''Oh, yes.

will not have a soothing influence upon
