Mayor TrOwbridge of Vicksburg.
Miss, attended the launching of the
gun boat Vicksburg at Bath, and on his
way home stopped in Washington
where he told a reporter: Il go home
ready to take up the gauntlet when
ever it is necessary in defence of New
England. Henceforth and forever its
people l count as my friends. l had an
erroneous idea that they were some
thing like the winters of that region
chilly and inhospitable, but there was
never a greater mistake. No welcome
could be warmer. no greeting more
gracious than they extended, no hos
pitality more refined and sincere" So
soon as we have recovered from our
surprise that the mayor of Vicksburg
should have entertained such erroneous
ideas of New England in the first place.
we should extend thanks to the Bath
princes and princesses of hospitality.
They have done what Baths redoubt-
able gun boats could not do, at least in
the case of the mayor of Vicksburg.

tariff according to the principles
lapproved by the country in 1894 and
again last November and await results
| This has got to be tried before definite
conclusions can be arrived at and to
mt off that time, to continue the agita-
ton is to wantonly inflict damage upon
the country.
We have all along been hopeful that
some of those Democrats who rose
above mere partisanship this fall would
render their aid to the Republicans to
do that which it is obvious to all must
| be done and the sooner the better.
| There has also been ample evidence
that the Republicans intend to draft
such a bill, that while it shall not de-
part from Republican ideas OF tariff,
shall nevertheless be one which those
holding somewhat different views of
tariff principles may endorse as the
best practicable means of relief, re-
lief that can never come under the ex-
listing law.
The Democrats had their opportunity
to put their ideas into operation and
law is a failure. To argue otherwise at
this time is an absurdity which most of
the Democrats, with the possible ex-
ception of Grover Cleveland, recog-
nize. To force the country to take that
which it has repudiated, which is dis
credited, even in the house of it's for
mer friends. is nothing short of con-
temptible. The Republicans did not
want the Dingley bill as party meas
ure. They realized that the passage
CT it would delay. very likely, the pas
sage of such a measure as they do
want. Nevertheless many Of the lead
ers urged it's passage for the sake of
relief to the revenue and as means to
otherwise be created.
AS German says, the next Senate may
have a Republican majority. but it
will not in any event be a sound mon
ey majority. as well. Kentucky should
send a sound money Republican but
North Carolina will not, although he
will undoubtedly be protectionist.
Too many enterprises in that state
have felt the blight of the German
Wilson law to have any hesitancy
about asking for what they need. 1t
is generally believed that this protec-
ton sentiment will be so strong that
measure may pass but the DISPOSE
ton of German ct. ais. does not in
consequence appear in any better light

larity. The promise of this
charming volume has been well

new and valued friends. The story is
one of absorbing interest, and very
cleverly told. The book, issued in the
style characteristic of everything that

rule. the best. is sure to be one of the
most popular of the season.
