With the close of the hearings upon the
subject Of tariff revision there will probably
come a lull in the discussion Of the subject
The Ways and Means Committees will here
after address its energies to the formulation
Of amendments to the existing law, with 9
view to perfecting the draft for the mex
Congress to consider. There will pro ably
be no attempt to pass a bill before March
Neither the senate nor the present Executive
can be depended on not to Illustrate the com.
mittee's work.
That the new bill will embody the extrem,
views Of some Of the witnesses who ap
peared before the committee is quite un
likely. 1t is probable that in some in
stances duties will be raised, but not in til,
manner prayed for by the most radical ap
p~licants. The revenue idea will take PIE
cedence of the protectiouist, although the
latter will certainly not be ignored.
There ought TO be no further disturbano'
of trade by conjecture on this score. What
ever changes are to DO made will be favor
able, not hostile, to business. The country
can now proceed TO lay out its plans for
great business revival, assured that what
ever form the new tariff may take the manu-
facturers and those who depend on them vii
not be losers.

Threc-Dny Tour TO washington.

Washington at present is the cynosure of
all eyes; not only because it is the Nations
Capital and of the interest which attaches to
the deliberations of Congress, but the brit
liant Presidential reception ON New Year
Day formally opened the season of fashion
able festivities, and it has nov become the
great social centre of the country. Brilliant
minds, waving for the time the cares OF
government, abandon themselves TO the gay
whirl of the social world. Receptions, din
ners, balls follow each other with bewilder-
ing rapidity.
The state of tho Cuban question and the
possibilities of Congressional action is also
claiming attention, and the ucver-dyiug in
terest which attaches to the many depart
ments of the Government is attracting its
usual number of visitors.
The three-day persOually-couductcd tour
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which leaves New York January p, affords
the best opportunity Of visiting the National
Capital at this season. The party will be
under the care and guidance of an eX.
pericnced tourist agent, and the program in
Washington has been prepared with an ac-
curate knowledge of the location and best
time TO visit each Of the principal points OF
interest.
Round trip tickets, including railroad trans
portatiou in each direction and accommoda-
tions at the best Washington hotels, will be
sold at the following rates: From New York

Nominated by the Prince of Wales a Diamond
'Jubilo5. Thati it is So regarded by the English
people is evidenced by the interest in regard
TO it already created i'm that country.
Victoria's reign has been the longest in the
worlds history, i'm which a woman is the
prominent factor. 1t will, therefore, be most
appropriate to give it such a greeting as an
event so extraordinary will merit.
Its stated that the Prince Of Wales, upon
being requested to give his views as to the
most fitting method Of celebration, has stated
that THE Queen would prefer that the occa-
sion should be marked by works OF mercy
among the sick and suffering, embracing any
movement tending to brighten the lives and
ameliorate the condition Of her subjects
Just such a suggestion as might have been
erpscted from Victoria, and while it will no

condemnation of the course of the disreputablC

Tours to California.

California has been most %fttingly termed
the Italy Of America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich YER
dure of tho great European peninsula are
duplicated i'm this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine Of her W
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and a veritable paradise Of
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no l|ovelier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent,
inaugurated a series of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train Of Pullman
palace ears from New York to the Pacific
Coast, and stopping at the principal points Of
interest en- route. The great popularity of
these tours demonstrates the wisdom of the
movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York, Philadel-
phia, and Pittsburg, January q, February
"A, and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San Diego
via st. Louis and the Santa Fe Route, and re-
turn from san Francisco via salt Lake City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing five weeks in
California.
The second tour will run via the Mammoth
Cave and New Orleans to San Diego, stopping
at the Crescent City, during the Mardi
Gras Carnival. This tour viii return via
Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weeksin California.
The third tour will run via Chicago, Denver,
and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to re-
turn by regular trains via different routes
within nine months.
All Of these tours, either going or return
ing, will pass through the famous Colorado
region, Glenwood Springs, Leadville and the
Garden of the Gods.
