these imports in 1895, the new rates,
where increased, will give equivalent
ad valorem duties of 40 per cent on
sizes up to 16x24, and 60 per cent on
sizes from 16x24 to 24x3O, of which the
imports were the greater, while those
on the larger sizes will remain nearly

abolition of at least part Of the coach

the bases are full, only one coacher

short. The great gain, however. Is
in creating the umpire absolute dictator

anybody disregards these orders, heavy

definitely stated are to be imposed,

All that any umpire has to do at
the beginning of the season is to take
his stand on this platform, and he will
have no trouble from that time on.
The ball field will never again witness
the silly spectacle Of eighteen men

in knots in the center Of the field to
exercise their lungs for half an hour in

When George Brown sauntered by

afternoon, carrying a neat-looking

to know Brown fairly well. and when
Detective Gruber stepped outside and
invited him into the station, his de-

concern. 1t is claimed that when
Brown carries a valise some one else
generally is minus such an article

had with him yesterday led the au~

case in hand. 1t contained a quantity

Brown explained that he had purchased

was not believed and he was locked up

MODERATE PROTECTION"

During the campaign Democrats, who
could not square the Chicago platform
with either their convictions of Demo-
cratic principles or their consciences,
were assured from various quarters
that the tariff policy of the Mckinley
administration, if it came into power,
would be a moderate one. After the
contest was over and it's success seen
to have been possible only by the aid
of the revolt against the work of the
Chicago convention, this talk was even
more pronounced and came from
sources which led to a qualified accept
ance of it as expressing the views of
the president-elect. Among these was
a letter to the Evening Post from Can
ton, written by z. V Smalley, who
hao ~arducted the currency branch of
the literary -5,te-~au of the national
committee, and whose relatio-o- with
Mr.. Mckinley were of long standing
and friendly. AS a CONDENSED state

cial policy Of the coming administration.
