The wisdom of Speaker Reeds course
in holding the House down to the work
which it was specially called to perform,
must be obvious to anybody who gives
the matter attention. Had the commit
tees been appointed and general 1egisla-
tion entered upon the chances are that
the passage of the tariff bill would have
been greatly delayed in the House with
corresponding delay in the Senate, and
there would have been constant danger of
its being side tracked for some other leg
islation or passed only on condition that
some other bill of doubtful utility should
be passed also. With the House open for
general legislation we should doubtless
have had Cuban agitation which would
have checked the revival of confidence,
and neutralized perhaps to a large extent
the good effects of the passage of the tariff
bin. AS it is the new tariff law is
launched under most favorable condit-
ions for a speedy revival of trade and in
dustry. To Mr.. Reed the thanks of the
country are due for holding in check
the propensity which is always present
in a large popular body like the House of
Representatives to set off fireworks

KIND OF BOOMERANG LETTER.
Man Who Accused Another of Violating
Game Law Arrested.

Augusta, July 25.-A special to the
Journal from Staceyville says Commits
sioner Carleton accompanied by Warden
Hodgkias, arrived here Friday night and
before they left the little town was in a
state of great excitement.
Mr.. Carleton's visit was due to letter
that he bad received from Fred Bracket
stating that Fred Cummings had shot a
moose and the meat was in Mark Dud-
ley's house.
Mr.. Bracket reiterated the statements
in his letter to Mr.. Carleton who with
the warden visited Mr.. Cumming, who
works for Mr.. Dudley, late at night.
They became thoroughly convinced
that the story was hoax gotten up for
revenge to injure Cummings and Dudley.
These latter gentlemen were so in
censed at Bracket for making these
charges that bright and early Saturday
morning they called on Mr.. Carleton
wishing to swear to what they knew
about Brackets poaching.
Trial Justice Robert N. Mcclure was
called in and two warrants obtained
against Bracket for shooting four
deer and batting bear traps with
them this summer. Brackett pleaded
guilty and was fined $210 and costs.

1t is stated that the Turkish militia

The London Daily Graphic commenting
editorially on the passage of the ne "
tariff bill by the United States, predicts a
sorry time for the American consumer
and probable revival of currency heresies
and Organism in an infinitely aggra-
waited form.
tWhat is pasha?" is frequently
asked. "Pasha,'' also written "ba-
shaw is merely an honorary title given
by the Turkish government to men OF
high political position, as governors OF
provinces, or to great military commands
ers. There are three degrees.

rHp ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-

THD ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
The Dingley tariff bill is the law of
the land and Congress has adjourned.
These are two events which the country
will regard with great complacency. The
conditions, so far as the tariff is concerned.
under which business and Industry
must be conducted for at least three years
to come are now fixed. Certainty has
taken the place of uncertainty. This
would be great point gained if the
new tariff law were not calculated to
foster American enterprise and protect
America labor. No business can proceed
successfully while the conditions which
it must meet are uncertain. Business
can to degree adapt itself to unfavor-
the task of adapting business to uncer-
tainty. When uncertainty prevails the
business man adopts the hand to mouth
policy. If his pursuit is strictly mer-
camille one he buys only enough stock
to meet the immediate demand. If he
is a producer of goods he manufactures
today only what he thinks he can sell to-
morrow. The time of uncertainty is the
time when manufactures shut down their
mills or run on short time, when they
reduce the number of their employees and
their wages. When manufacturers can
look forward to the continuance of GER
tain conditions for several years then as a
rule, unless those conditions promise to
be very bad, they set their machinery run

If President Mckinley ever had any
idea of modifying the civil service regu-
lations SO as to take certain offices out
from under their protection, he has appar-
emily laid it on the shelf. It is probably
true that some of the extensions of the
rules made by President Cleveland near
the end of his term. grew out of desire
to protect his party friends quite as much
as out of love for civil service reform.
but the abrogation of them by President
Mckinley would inevitably lead to the
impression that he had been captured by
the spoils1nen, and would do him and
his party much harm. 1t is just as well
thgt, if he had any intention of revoking
any of Cleveland's orders, he changed his
mind.

Probably President Mckinley sent his
currency message in in fulfillment of a
promise to do SO to representatives of the
indianapolis currency convention. That
he expected that Congress would act upon
it at this session is not probable, though
he recommended the appointment of a
commission to report in November before
adjournment. Before a resolution for
the appointment of such commission
could pass the Senate the Silver Senators
must talk themselves out. And this will
take several months at least.

gan Southern Railway Company, a fore
most authority on traffic matters, says
in special report to us:
''This property is SO located
geographically as to practically
