the dog is lazy and wants to sleep,
the cat washes its face, and the horses
are restless and easily frightened. The

The Tariff which Republicans Would

The principle of the proposed new
.obber tariff law-f it is proper to
dignity a fraudulent assault upon the
pockets of the poor for the benefit of
trusts and other monopolies with the
assumption that there is any principle
in it's to impose according to the spe
cific instead of the ad valorem system.
That is the duties, instead of being
fixed at a certain per cent OF the value
of the dutiable goods. are to be fixed at
so much per pound, or yard, or gallon,
etc This is upon the plea that frauds
upon the custom may be more easily
guarded against under the system of
specific than under that of ad valorem
duties The plea is doubtless true in
a measure, but does not justify or Off
set the evil of the cruel wrongs imposed
upon the plain people by the specific
system; and besides it is not made in good
faith The real reason for preferring
specific duties is the advantage they of

federal taxation upon poor consumers

those in moderate circumstances would
pay a lower tariff tax per yard under
the ad valorem system than the dearer
grades which are bought by the rich;
but under the specific system both
grades would be taxed at the same rate
per yard. Specific duties are in har-
mouy with the whole tariff system of
discrimination in favor Of the rich, and
it is entirely proper that this system
should characterize the new tariff

Can a death which Is caused by q

cisicn appears to be very good law. \

early breakfast. settled on the foot 'at
the base of the fourth toe and gorged
himself. Blood poisoning, as the doc
tors testified, was the result Of the bite,
ard the man died. When sued on the
policy the company contended that n
mosquito bite was not an accident, and
consequently they ought not to be COM
PEELED to pay. The lower court agreed
with the company, but on appeal the
higher court reversed the case and
gave Judgment for the widow WHO had
brought the suit. The case is interest
ing as probably being unprecedented
in its facts, but there is 10 ground for
questioning the sOundness Of the de-
cision. Death by accident means
death from any unexpected event
which happens by chance. Doubtless
there was DO thought OF mosquitoes or
mosquito bites In the minds OF the con-
tracing parties when the policy was
issued, bat that fatal bite was just as
much of an accident as If the man had
been bitten by q mad dog or tossed by

Of the insect causing the disaster has
nothing to do with the question, nor
that such bites are scarcely ever fatal.

Prices OF Linens Go Cp.

When the tariff bill was about to be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Mr..
AldriCh, when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates were generally lower than
those of the house bill. The linen
schedule, however, is notable one of
many exceptions. Ii it the senate rates
arc higher than those Of the house and
much higher chan anything ever before
known.
Under tie Mckinley bill Of 1890 lin
ems were assessed 80 per cent, with q
few exceptions as high as 80 per cent
adj valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large proportion of the
goods in everyday use will be assessed
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some of the changes III the

The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over 80 per cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton hardker-
chiefs in America (of Acheson, Harden
& Co., Passaic, n. J. states that he does
not desire any advance Of duty Oh his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
tions, good fter fax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully III

membered that the kind of linen taxed
