The Changed Tariff Bill.

The members of the House if they
have already done So need no longer
lament that they We're not afforded
more opportunity to consider the tar
if bill when it was before them. They
will now have ample time to study it
in another form, compare the House
committee bill with the Senate COM
mittee bill and weigh the differences.
The Democratic members of the Sen
ate committee need not regret the two
weeks they at first proposed to devote
to attacking it in committee. they are
to have two weeks, in which to load
their old free trade blunderbusses and
in the open Senate. Accordingly we
hope there will be an end to the talk
about haste and that attention will be
turned to the waste that every days
delay means to this government and to
every business enterprise in it with the
exception perhaps of the importing en-
tefpr1SeS mere. Neither need the Trends
of the importers parade before the pub
lie in sackcloth and ashes because of
the retroactive clause. That has been
removed and opportunity sufficient for
the importer to do his worst seems as
sured. Moreover it will be in bad
taste for those who have been so ex-
ceedingly troubled for the country be-
cause of high rates in the Dingley bill
to scourge the air with lamentations,
for with but few exceptions and those
may not hold, the rates have been re-
duced by the Senate committee. No
longer need the free trade editor floun-
der in apprehension because a protec-
tive tariff won't provide revenue; the
rates have been lowered ostensibly to
that end and revenue tax of nearly
fifty per cent increase has been placed
upon beer while purely revenue tax,
a tax after the Democratic free traders
own heart, has been placed on that in
dispensable article of the supper table.

England has had two years of great
prosperity; but, of course, this has
nothing to do with British free trade
the gold standard, and system of cur
rency. 1t might seem to have some
thing to do with such things; but it
must be really due to England's being
an island, or having so much fog;
otherwise, why shouldn't we be pros
porous, too?-N. Y. Evening Post.
The Post has always been partial to
that "Lunnon' fog, don-cher know.
which probably accounts for its mysti-
ncation and inability to see straight in
the clear light of facts. Why shouldn't
England be prosperous with such lib
eral concessions as the Wilson tariff
gave her and with the increased de-
mand from our importers who seek to
stock up ahead of the Dingley tariff?

Waterville Mail: A portion Of the
community will regret to learn, if they
have not already learned by sonal
investigation. that one of the live1est
places of business in that city has shut
down indefinitely. We have reference
to the city liquor agency in the base
ment of the old city hall. The term
of office of Agent Walker expired on the
last day of April and as his successor
has not been elected there is at present
an interim during which the shutters
are down.. There have no deaths oc-

The awful results attending the
burning of that sham structure in Paris

'hat the disaster occurred in a city
where the municipal government is
supposed to be very strict in matters
pertaining to the physical safety of
the public. However did it happen
that in Paris. where the food the wines
the confectionery and the matter which
IS used for coloring the latter have t.
undergo inspection. how did it hamper
that permission was obtained to cree
such death trap as that fiimsv wool
