WARNING ON THE TARIFF.

People Demanding Exorbitant Rates VIII
BE Turned Down.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S-The Phila.
delphia Press, one of the leading high
tariff papers i'll the country, says
editorially.
The hearings before the ways ard
means committee on the new tariff
bill will begin Monday. At the outset
it would be we'll for all parties to be
admonished to 60 before the committee
with reasonable demands and upon
moderate and tenable grounds. The
Wool Growers association, in session
at Washington last week, proposed
rates OH wool that would considerably
exceed the rates on the Mckinley bill
1t may as well be understood that no
such proposition will be adopted. We
are sure that the temper Of the commit
zee would not accept 1t, and that the
sentiment of the country would not
tolerate It, There will be disposition
and purpose to do what is fair and
right, and give all reasonable and nec-
essary protection, and more than this
Applicants should Not Ask
and congress will not concede. Other
interests that are to be heard should
not make the mistake oc the wool
growers, but should go 10 The commit.
zee with a we'll digested claim. Which
is founded on present conditions, and
which can be sustained upon clear and
incontestable grounds. Lower prices
are prevailing everywhere, ana the tar.
If should be adjusted to the present
conditions. This is in substance the
declaration of the Republican natlona:
platform, and it is the position which
the Republican leaders in congress viii
take 1t will aid the committee and
promote a right understanding ali
around if the representatives OF various
interests shall be prepared TO present a
thoroughly intelligent statement Of the
condition and requirements of Their .e,
spective interests. and shaI! ask on.y
for what is clearly right and Just.

Another Disaster to the Spring Hill Col

HALIFAX, N. s., Dec. 2S.-AnotheI
great disaster has overtaken the Spring
Hill coal mines. Just five years age
the mines were wrecked by great ex.

equipped, gave employment to l,0OC

The loss of the east slope is believed tt
be complete.
