What business men want is to get
their business into shape on lines
which are to be reasonably perma-
nent. They do not want to stand
on shifting ground any longer. The
new tariff will probably be about as
bad rs Il tariff can be; indications
are that it will be worse than the
original Mckinley bill. But, bad us
it may be, it cannot be as bad as I'M
certainty.
The industry and trade of the
country are not going to the dogs
because of bad tariff. Business
can adjust itself to even worse con-
ditions than those which are threat
ened. But it is essential that these
conditions should be known as
quickly as possible. Atariff wrangle
lasting through the summer would
paralyze trade and enterprise for an
other year and produce widespread
disaster.-Boston Post.

Henry Bolton of Troy met his
death Monday afternoon in a shock
ing manner. He had charge of the
grinding and went to the mill at
o'clock, started the watcrwheel,
lighted a lantern and went down
under the mill, setting the lantern
on the stairs where 1t was seen when
looking for the body, which was
found revolving on a shaft that had
caught Mr.. Bolton by his coat.
The mill was stopped and the body,
which was terribly crushed was
taken into the mill, where slight
respirations were seen for few
moments.

The Dingley tariff bill has been
reported to the House and It proves
to be a more radical measure than
even the Mckinley bill which
brought disaster to the Republican
party few years ago. 1t is little
else than protection run mad-there
is hardly the shadow of an attempt
to modify the extreme features of
ti'e Mckinley bill, and in some re-
spects the measure now before the
House outdoes any tariff bill ever
framed for the imposition of taxes
on the American people. 1t will be

GENERAL ITEMS.
A View OfDcath.

Astronomy is the science of life and
death, of worlds and souls. Nothing
is so benefcent as death understood !;
the history of the planets progress
shows that death has been, at every
single step, the condition of growth
and of advancing life. The lower
types of organic life must die and dis
integrate before we can have the
higher stages. Thus all along it is
life, new life, larger life, grander life,
born ont of decay and death. Do we
not also see how, instead Of being u
terror and calamity, it is really the
last, highest, best, sweetest, browning
gift Of God. There is only a separa-
ton, and that for little while.
When the world learns how to obey
the natural laws of this our human

existence, death will then DO rec
