Issues Raised Over Details.

Issues Raised Over Details.
With practically both parties either pro-
fessedly or tacitly agreeing that We must
have a tariff that affords the protection
required, an artificial party issue is made
over the details and a really good bill thus
is rendered impossible. IL is very generally
conceded among men who know anything
about the matter that the only way for
the tariff to become a political issue in the
future is for the present bill to be made
bad enough to receive popular condemra-
ton, and yet some of the men who are
Withholding their assistance to the repub-
licans TO improve ii would most dislike see
ing the issue made.
The letter by Senator Cullom in which
he declares cimself to be in favor of n
tariff commission Is a recognition of the
desrability of taking the question out of
partisan politics, and the opinion Is gen.
eral that, as a matter of fact, 1t cannot
long be maintained as party question.
The general belief about Congress is that
If the proposed law is satisfactory there
will be no change for long time. and
that If 1t is not satisfactory. the neces-
sary changes will have to be made on
business principles.

Allis' health has been seriously impaired for some months, and a recent stay he made at Old Point Comfort was disappointing in it's re- sults He now goes to southern Colo rado for a prolonged stay.

 The people of the annex are anxiously awaiting the report of the committee on cities and boroughs on the consoli- dation act. While there are some resi- dents of this district who favor the proposed act, the vote of the people will undoubtedly be in opposition. There is feeling that the benefits to be accrued under consolidation are not of enough importance to be of any great induce ment for the people of the outlying wards to avail of the proposed act; that while consolidation is likely to be real ized in time, the people are in no hurry to avail of it at this time.
