farthing. They will have to pay more
for their clothing and other supplies.
That is all.
Chairman Dingley says the Wilson act
secured per capita deficit of S5 cents
a year, but to make that deficit good his
bill levies a per capita tax of s1.4o. But
that is not all the tax his bill levies rpon
the people. 1t provides for tax equal
to about 81 per capita for the direct ben
eft of the manufacturers of wearing
apparel and other kinds of goods and
wares. The Dingley bill is not an eco
nomic theory, and 1t will create the most
burdensome conditions of existence the
people have ever had to confront. The
new tariff increases the tax on about
one hundred and twenty-five of the
leading articles of consumption fully
100 per cent above the Wilson act and
on many of the staples. such as woolen
cloths shawls, knit fabrics, blankets.
hats and caps, wooden yarns, f1annels
for underwear and the like, the tax
ranges from 125 to 100 per cent above the
schedules of the Wilson act. 1t is these
atrocities that are stirring the senate
with alarm and the indications now are
that Mr.. Dingley's bill will be revamped
by the upper house of congress upon
lines that are more in harmony with the
purpose and spirit of the system of gov
ernment which our forefathers estab-
lished.

" "RETRENCHMENTv -

A "retrenchment ordinance has been
prepared, and will be presented in the
city council today Owing to the ex-
treme reticence of the councilmen the
details of the ordinance are not obtain
able, but it can be stated that reductions
have been made in the city expenditures
which will result in a saving of about
$4,000 a month. The greatest cut has
been made in the street department, it
being stated that the ordinance pro-
vides for reducing the force of laborers
forty men, or over one-half the force
1t is further proposed to reduce the ex-
pense of the engineers office about $1,000
per month. and the zanjero's force is
also reduced to two outside men and the
clerk. The remainder of the saving is
distributed throughout the other depart
ments.
While retrenchment is undoubtedly
absolutely necessary, it being stated
that the treasury IS now $45 600 behind
the same time las year, It Is question
whether the ordinance as proposed is
the best that could ave been devised.
The street force cennat be cut in half
without very seriously impairing the
service, and it is very doubtful whether
the engineers force car be reduced
without seriously crippllng the depart
ment. In case like the ? esent when
it is stated that the reduction will be
only temporary, it will strike the aver
age citizen that it would hA much better
to distribute it throughout the city gov
ernment, rather than seriously cripple
one or two departments. F'pr instance
according to the current reuort, the po-
lice force has not been inteNfered with,
and at least $1,000 month could be saved
here without seriously hurtir, g any one.
The fire department, too, has apparef =
ly been overlooked, for what reason is OF
clear-and there are others.

Reform Needed in the Senate

There ought to be no dissent, from a
party standpoint to the abolition of con-
ditions under which the national sem
ate can be made a "hold-up." I'm
doubtedly our senator is largely ac-
tuated in his course by a desire to see
a new tariff bill carried through with as
little delay as possible. That the bitter
hostility of a few senators might defeat
the peoples will in any matter, how
ever important, is possibility against
which the country should be safeguard
ed on every account. There has been
enough, and more than enough, of auto
cratic opposition tactics in the senate
Reform is necessary, and it cannot come

lit be equally distributed. There is no
doubt that it would be good thing If the
salaries of the charter officers could be
reduced, but as this cannot be done,
the next best thing is to make an
equitable cut among all the city en-
ployes, by which means the individual
losses would be reduced to a minimum,
and no one would suffer. This could be
done, and when the condition of the
finances justified it, salaries could be
restored. The council shorS consider
this matter well. and make co mistake.

PARTY Work Without "The Boys"

Party membership stands for policies
of government, not offices. Many have
grown up with the belief that without
power to confer office 'the boys" cannot
be kept in line and brought into active
work for the party success. This is
fallacy; experience will prove that the
best of party work can and will be done
without the boys" who are held in line
only by the hope of office.-Milwaukee

shortly after President Faure had passed
there on his way to the railroad station,
where he took the train for Dunkirk, on
his way to Russia, contained a number of

in addition to the nails referred to in pre-

CONsTANTINOPLE, Aug. 1S.-The city
is almost in panic tonight over the news
of bomb explosions attempted or accom-
plished this afternoon at three different
points The explosions are attributed to
the Armenians. At o'clock a bomb was
thrown just outside the police headquarters
in the Pera district. 1t failed to explode.
Almost at the same moment an Armenian
whose name, it is believed, is Garavhet,
was arrested at the Imperial Ottoman
Bank, in the Galata district. He was car
rying a package of explosives, which he
was trying to ignite. A second bomb was
exploded in a private road between the
Vizierate (offices of the Grand Vizer) and
the state council house. One man was
killed and several others were severely in
jured The explosion shattered windows
in the vicinity and did other slight dam
ages. The police have made number of
arrests.
Reports Of the outrages spread quickly
through the city and caused the greatest
excitement. The police and the guards at
the Sultan's palace are taking eXtraordi-
nary precautions tonight, which have Civ
en- color to the rumor that the bomb throw
ing is part of a widespread plot. The most
abject terror prevails in the precincts of
the palace. In many parts of the city, par
ticularly in the vicinity of the police head
quarters, all the shops were closed and it
was necessary to call out the entire police
force and the military before anything
like calm could be restored. The Armenian
who was arrested at the Imperial Ottoman
Bank was trying, it is reported, to place the
bundle of explosives near one end of the
main entrances The crowd who saw him
delivered by the bank officials to the police
would have made short work of him if
they had not been prevented. The police
are very retcent as to the reason for sum-
monng the palace guard and closing all
the doors and gateways, but it is rumored
that a similar outrage was attempted with
in the palace limits, and that the approaches
were barred to prevent the exit of the
would-be perpertator.

Fall i'm Price of silver Has Sent New
York Exchange Up to 14O.

MEXICO, Aug. 1S.-New York exchange
rose to-day to 40, corresponding to the
renewed decline in silver, the news of which
created a sensation Talk of gold stand
ard is heard in banking circles but one
argument raised against it is the injury
to result to local manufacturers, as the
government could not raise the tariff sufti-
ciently to compensate them for q loss of
that measure of support now afforded by
cheap silver without importing the revenue.
Everybody now anticipates a continued fall
in silver until it reaches the average cost Of
production, although some large miners
now contend II has already gone below that.
Opinions differ as to the cost of production
out here, on the silver basis the cost is un-
doubtedly so low as to afford profit at
even lower than present quotations. The
demand from Europe for silver per cent.
bonds continues.
