Cannot Reduce Ii Now.

In reply to an inquiry regarding the
matter the City Attorney has written TO
the City Auditor giving his opinion with
reference to the ordinance recently passed
by the Council reducing the compensa-
ton OF the City Tax Collector from rs
10 5-S of per cent. upon all money col
iected Captain Cunningham. The Col
lector, raised the point that ne had made
out all his tax and license bills for this
wear. and contended that remuneration
could not be cut down certainly during
this year, his work having been substan-
tally completed. The City Attorney
holds that this contention is correct. and
that Captain Cunningham's compensation
cannot be reduced during this year.

SENATOR DAVIS WILL BE CHAIR.
TAN

1t is reported from Washington
that there is possibility that Senator
Davis, of this state, may be chairman
of the senate committee on foreign
relations. That position is now held
by Senator Sherman, who will go
into the cabinet. The next in rank is
Senator Frye, of Maine. Frye is chair
man of the committee on commerce
which position he has held for years,
and it is thought he would hardly
want to relinquish it even for the
head of the foreign relations COM
mittee. Besides that Senator Frye is
president pro tenn of the senate.
Maine has the speakership of the
house and the Craftsmanship of the
most important committee, and will
hardly be allowed to carry off the en-
tire layout, so that the probability is
that this important position in con-
nection with our foreign relations
will go to Senator Davis.
Since the above was put in type the
morning papers bring the report that
Senator Frye has stated that he would
not take the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on foreign relations and favors
Senator Davis for the place, and there
is no longer any doubt that when
Senator Sherman'goes into the senate
Mr.. Davis will succeed him as chair
man. Senator Davis is without ques-
tion the best qualified man in the
senate for the position, and the north
west will feel honored by his promo
tion. He has given diplomatic mat
tiers close study and is intimately
familiar with all the intricate ques-
tions which at present confront the
country.

PASSING THE ORDINANCES.

ALI of the ordinances have been re-
passed except one, which is an unim-
portant one. The fifty-five ordinan-
ces of the city now in force are to be
published in book form, and will make
volume of about 125 pages. At the
adjourned meeting of the council a
week from Saturday night, anything
that remains to be done to complete
the ordinances will be done. Fifty
four of the ordinances have been re-
passed within year or two, to
remedy defects and to make them
comply with the present charter.

ceipts of the United States govern
ment for the year 1896 for basis, and
it represents sum of money equal to
the nations total receipts for eight
years. The census of 1890 estimates
the aggregate farm products of the
United States for the previous year at
over So, AGO, 100000, and the taxable
property of New York exceeds that
sum nearly $40, 100000. Fifteen build

more than the total of all the land in

FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
1t is Hard at Work on American
Literature.

The Fortnightly club held well
attended meeting at the residence OF
Geo. E. Brett Tuesday. The first
paper was read by W. D. Willard, and
was on the subject, "Transcendental
ism and Its Effect on American Lit.
erature." He did not think that il
had any direct effect, and that the
effect was indirectly by personal in.
fluence instead of by writings. He
pointed to Emerson as the principal
exponent of transcendentalism.
Miss Daisy Sheehan read the second
paper, on "a Comparison. of Emerson
and Carlyle" She spoke of the cool
ness of one, and the quick and i'm
patient temperament OF the other.
The discussion was upon the sub
ject, "The Effect of Literature on
Theology" and was participated in by
many of the members. The general
opinion was that literature exercised
a broadening and liberalizing influence
on theology in general and theological
dogmas.
F. G. Herr and DR.. Ella M. Everett
were voted in as new members. The
next meeting will be held Wednesday
evening next Jan. 9th, at W. d.
Wizards residence.

AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION.

The progress that has been thus far
made toward framing new tariff
bill, has brought out the fact that
there has been revolution in econo-
mic ideas in the last two or three
years, and that those who then favor
ed free trade, or steps in that direc-
tion, have seen the error of their
ways, and now advocate moderate
tariff duties of a specific nature, in
stead of the free trade ad valorem
style. The Pioneer Press Washing
ton correspondent thus speaks OF the
work before the committee as stated
by Congressman Tawney: "The Am
erican Protective Tariff league of
New York is collecting opinions from
the members of the committee on the
tariff bill. Mr.. Tawney sent a re-
ply in which he said that the hear
ings would be CT greater Importance
in fixing the future industrial policy
of the government than any other be-
fore held. Mr.. Tawney said that in
previous tariff hearings it was the
theories of the low tariff advocates
that contended against the experience
of the people under protection. In
the present hearing the committee
had the advantage experience under
protective tariff policy and under the
present tariff reform policy" based
upon the Democratic idea OF free raw
materials andad valorem duties, and
the result as shown by the testimony
of all who appeared, without regard
to party, occupation or employment,
conclusively demonstrated the wisdom
of the former policy and the fallacy of
the latter. He called attention to
the fact that even Democrats who
appeared before the committee, say
ing that three years ago they advo-
Gated free raw materials and ad
valorem duties now confess their
error and ask for moderate protection
and return to specific duties He
also called attention to the showing
of the interdependence of all in
dustries from the. humble wood
chopper to the manufactures, and the
seller of the finished product as clearly
demonstrated by the evidence before
the committee. In closing his letter
on the subject Mr.. Tawney made use
of the following significant words:
"Another feature somewhat remark
able in view of the recent campaign
is that the representatives of no in
dustry, labor organization, party or
section attributed our industrial
to the crime Of 49, but
either expressly or by implication
charged that result to the crime of
,Qd
