The death of Mrs Thankful M. Law
renee is reported from Maiden, Mass.
Mrs. Lawrence is the widow of the late
George w. Lawrence Of Damariscotta
and Portland. who in 1868 built in Port
land the monitor Waste for the govern
ment. When Mr. Lawrence died a few
years ago he left a claim against the
government for $150,000, arising on &C.
count of the building Of the Waste.
The court of claims has just given
Judgment in favor of Mrs. Lawrence
for $4,000. but the judgment comes too
late to do her any good. A slight tech
is said to have prevented a
judgment for the whole $150.0OO and a
bill had been introduced in the Senate
to remove the technicalities.

The Dingley bill is under considera-
ton by the Senate finance communities
and the more experienced members
think it will be nearer the first of June
than the first of May before considera-
ton of this measure shall have come to
an end. The difficulties in the way of
obtaining such law as the Republic
cans would like are so numerous that
even the inexperienced observer cannot
fail to observe some of them. The Re-
publicans have not control of the Sen
ate and will have to compromise with
the Democrats if they succeed in Or
ganizing that body. Any senator who
may be disposed to make a bitter fight
against any particular feature of the
bill is in fair way to extort some sort
of concession: The need of revenue is
such an imperative one it must be had
and if in the end the tariff bill is fairly
representative of the tariff ideals of the
Republican party the county will in
deed be fortunate. In the House the
special interests" so-called, got no
recognition. The complaints of these
aside, the only apparently rational
criticism advanced respecting that bill
is that some of the duties are higher
than those in the Mckinley bill. 1t will
be noticed, however, that these are or
the higher classes of goods, while on
the lower classes, the production of
which has already been well developed,
the duties are lower. Under protection
the advance has ever been from the
coarser to the finer goods. Now in
most of the coarser lines we do not re-
quire the duties once necessary to the
maintenance of those manufactures.
Recognition of this fatt in the McKin-
ley bill resulted in the building up of
new industries such as the tin plate
production, by reason of higher duties,
while duties were taken from those in
dustries that had been developed to
such an extent that they did not need
the protection formerly afforded them
The Dingley bill follows out this prin-
ciple which is the principle of true pro-
lection and in the tariff on woolens
does not raise the rate above that in
the Mckinley bill except in the case OF
a few of the finer products, the manu-
facture Of which it is thought desirable
to develop. The cotton goods duties
are left where they were placed under
the Wilson law except in the finer
grades and most of the duties on iron
and steel are lower than those of the
Mckinley law.
1t would be we'll. especially in view of
the crucial ordeal this bill is too pass
through to criticise it only after know
ing what may really be deserving o,
criticism. There has been good dea,
OF independent talk among protection
lists respecting the measure. This is
