sis, and not with any existing tariff
bugaboos, as he seems to think them.
Whatever of confidence there is as
the result of Major McKinley's cleo
ton comes from the fact that the peo-
pie believe the gold standard is safe.
Tariff agitation win shake the conf
dence of the people instead of restor-
ing it.
II is quite impossible to reconcile Mr.
Dingley's statement that . the passage
of an exigency bill this winter would
not make any the less necessary re-
vision of the tariff on protective and
permanent lines" with this:
While I have expressed myself thus
frankly as to the necessity of such
revision of the tariff as Will cause II 10
yield sufficient revenue, and at the same
time encourage American industries,
yet 1 believe that whatever steps are
taken should be taken with care ana
moderation, not giving just occasion Tor
criticism by sound money Democrats,
who have co-operated with US in the
campaign.
AS he has not undertaken their rec
onciliation we shall not attempt it.
Congressman Dingley and those who
think as he does on the tariff are like
the children of Israel who mourned
that they were not in the land OF
Egypt. sitting by the flesh pots.

THE NATURAL GAS CONTROVERSY.

For more than a week past the good
people of this city have been more
or less agitated over the question of
the natural gas supply. The contro-
versy between those owning the gas
wells and those owning the pi0e line
has gone along much after the manner
of a newspaper fight between champion
pugilists.
1t seems impossible for the public
to determine which side is right, or
whether either is We do not know,
of the controversy. One thing may
be out down as certain: That the
people of this city are fast coming to
the conclusion that they are being
trifled with. The very evident ill-feel-
ing existing between the owners of the
wells and the owners of the pipe line
convinces them that there is a quarrel
somewhere, the cause of which they do
not know. and that they are made 70
suffer in consequence of it.
If the supply of natural gas is fail
ing, the people have deep interest in
knowing it. It may be that it is fail
ing, but the people Want to know for
themselves and not as the result of a
quarrel between two companies that
cannot hitch. If the supply of natural
gas is as abundant as ever, then the
charge that it is failing is working a
great and almost irreparable injury to
this city.
y number oe our leading citizens
have interested themselves in the mat
ter and the result of their investiea-
ton viii be awaited with much inter
est by all. The public will be content
to suspend judgment until this investi-
cation is made and all the facts in the
case are dispassionately set forth.
When these facts are so set forth it
will be GOOD business tact for the par
ties to the present rather acrimonious
controversy 10 adjust their differences
quietly if not amicably The people
are heartily sick and tired of this
quarreling and demand that it cease.
The people still have some rights in the
matter and they are getting into a
mood to assert them.

TO AVOID HoLDUPs.

ANY recipe that win enable pedes-
trians to avoid being ''held-up" at night
is certainly worth trying and he who
shall find one warranted to work in
any climate" will prove himself bene-
factor to his race. We saw one in the
Washington Post of a few days back,
given it by a gentleman from New
York 1t is so simple. inexpensive and
absolutely harmless if not safe, that
we give it. He said:
IF happened to be walking at night
in any locality of a city where 4
thought there might be danger of as
sault from footpads who wanted my
valuables 1 would take one simple pre-
caution that a friend of mine who had
seen much of the world long ago recon-
mended I would turn up my coat col
lar and pull my hat down over my
eyes, so as to present the toughest APP
pearance possible. Bad men are not
looking for collision with those of their
own kind, and a fellow with his hat
drawn down so as to partly conceal his
face is sure TO get the benefit of being
thought a hard customer if encountered
in the small hours in a doubtful To-
cality. 1 know of at least one occasion
where I worked the scheme to good
advantage"
OF course. if the bad men who go
forth at night to hold up good men
do not assume a ]. P R. Jamesesque
attire and attitude, this scheme might
not work From the rather loose and
general description of holdups given
by those who have been held up, it
seems that the footpads of this city
do not wear the long and graceful cape
thrown over the shoulder and the
slouching hat drawn down so as to
hide the dark visage of the deep-dyed
villain. They appear to dress like
ordinary citizens and to walk along
much as other people do. 1t is this
fact that makes it so hard to identify
and apprehend them. 1t is to be feared
that the scheme of this New York gen
tleman to avoid being held up is more
poetical than practical.

MORE ELECTION CONTEST RuMoRs.

Ever since the election there have
been rumors that various incumbents
! Of Office were intending to bring pro-
| ceedings TO contest the validity of the
election law. Thus far there have only
been rumors, no proceedings. looking to
/ that end having been instituted.
The foundation for the first rumors
of an election contest was that the
Australian ballot adopted in Utah was
not a secret ballot. The papers and
the public laughed that scheme or
theory. which ever it was, out of court.
Now another rumor is started that the
election is TO be attacked on the ground
that the legislature did not pass the
! election law at all. Details of this new
rumor viii be found in another part
of this issue. If there be anything in
this rumor the grounds selected for
bringing proceedings are too absurd
for any. serious consideration. He who
should institute proceedings on the
theory that the legislature passed no
election law would make himself a
laughing stock for all time, and par
ticularly election time.
The anxiety that some office-holders
have expressed over the legality of the
election and the right of those elected
10 take office, has been far create: than
the facts would warrant. In their
anxiety over the title Of their sue
cessors TO hold Office and their great
solicitude that all shall be legal, they
have absolutely forgotten to give any
attention whatever TO the legality of
their claims to the right to hold over
This disinterestedness is very com
mendable and we fear will never be
appreciated by the public at its proper
worth. The office-holders who would
hold over, all in the interest of law and
order. should not become too anxious,
else their great anxiety may affect
their health None but the un-Christian
and stony-hearted viii blame q drown
ing man from grabbing at straws. Let
them grab all the straws they can as
they sink. They will serve as flowers
TO bedeck their graves at the bottom
of the sea.

be removed by moistening with water and

two or three times, and the mark will

In escaping from a fire creep or crawl
along the floor of the room, with your
face as near the floor as possible. As
smoke ascends there is always a fresh
current of air in which YOU can breathe

THE SEA.

l am the sea. I hold the land
As one holds an apple in his hand.
Hold It fast with sleepless eyes.
Watching the continents sink and rise
Out of my bosom the mountains grow,
Back to my depths they crumble slow;
The earth is a helpless child 20 me
l am the sea.
1 am the sea When l draw back
Blossoms and verdure follow my track
And the land I leave grows proud and
fair,
For the wonderful race of man is there;
And the winds of heaven wall and cry.
While the nations rise and reign and die
Living and dying in folly and pain,
While the laws of the universe thunder
in vain.
What is the folly of man to me?
1 am the sea.
I am the sea. The earth 1 sway;
Granite to me is potter's clay:
Under the touch of my careless waves
Il rises in turrets and sinks in caves;
The iron cliffs that edge the land
/ grind to pebbles and sift TO sand.
And beach grass bloweth and children
In what were the rocks of yesterday;
1t is but a moment of sport 10 me
/ am the sea.
| am the sea In my bosom deep
Wealth and wonder and beauty sleep;
Wealth and wonder and beauty rise
And comfort the earth with rains and
Till waves the harvest and laughs the
rose.
Flower and forest and child of breath
With me have life, without me, death.
What if the ships go down in me?
