There Is little mixed Ginning over
the new tariff bill and those who are
conspicuous for their knowledge Of
what is going to happen are declaring
that reciprocity will not form a promi-
nent feature of the new tariff, If it is
Incorporated into it at all. This is
not reasonably probable, for there was
nothing Connected with the Mckinley
tariff law that was more conspicuous
ly successful than its reciprocity pro-
visions. What was wisdom then will
by no means be accepted as unwis-
dom now. Reciprocity is going to
come to the front in the new schedule,
all that the disquisitons of the tariff
prophets may say to the contrary.

Great aches from little toe-corns

1t is the prevalent opinion that there
is no need of denying the statement
that DR.. Zeruterka has made as to
the circumstances attending the death
OF Maceo. The Drs. statement on the
face Of it is inconsistent, and his re
ception and treatment by the Span
iards has not been that accorded the
friends of Maceo, but that given the
trusted agents of Spain. 1t was bad
enuogh for Zeruterka to show him.

1t has long been accepted that poll

was never anticipated at any time be-

Nebraska would become the political

New England and the great northern
states. To such base uses may state
come at last,when it forsakes the path
