MoNDAY EVENING, MAR is, 1887

Mr.. DINGLEY, the author OF the pro-
posed new tariff bill, says that bill will
increase the revenue, and at the same
time afford increased protection to the
industries of the country. But he
doesn't say how such miracle can be
wrought. To increase revenue by a
tariff, imports must be increased, and
that can only be done by reduction in
duties. To increase protection, duties
must be increased. A tariff bill can af-
feet revenue and protection, but GER
tainly not both in the same way. 1t can
protect American products by exclud-
ing foreign imports, but then down go
the receipts from customs. 1t can III
crease the revenue by increasing for
eign imports, but then down goes pro-
lection. Free trade should be the policy
of free country, but the majority OF
the people of the United States, that is,
judged by their votes, didn't think SO
last November.

Ready for the Contest.

CARSON, Nevada, March 15-As both
men have as good as completed their
heavy outdoor work, the prospect OF q
furry of snow does not raise any great
Consideration. Corbett was, as usual,
eager for work, but his trainers kept
the big fellow under as much restraint
in that direction as possible. Filzsim-
mons, as usual, was put through a
course of spsrriDg and practicing
clinches and breakaways. He, like his
rival, is in the best of condition. The
pool rooms opened yesterday morning
and the prevailing odds were to & to 10
on Corbett, but there was no FitZsim-
mons money in sight. Another detach-
ment of Pinkerton men, twenty strong,
arrived yesterday and, with the forces
already on the ground, intending evil
doors will find that honesty or depar-
ture will be the healthiest course for
them to pursue.
The pigeon shooting commences to-
day, when a number of sweepstakes
will be shot of. What seems to be
the final arrangements for Wednesday,
is for the Corbett. FitZsimmons affair to
be fought first, the others to follow the
next day. The ltikinetoscope was
tested in action yesterday. The valley
was overhung by mass of low-hanging
clouds, but the negatives were perfect,
and the big instrument went through
the test without hitch. The gloves
of both Corbett and Fitzsimmons will
be retained in Stuarl's possession until
they are tossed into the ring on We'd
nesday, They are of the regulation
five ounce variety, the Corbett gloves
coming from Philadelphia and those to
be worn by Fitzsimmons from Chicago.
Each man gets big bonus from the
rival manufacturers.

BERLIN, Mar. 15.-The governments

Hon. II. w. V. Leigh, conservative,
asked if the Cretans would understand
what autonomy meant. Mr.. Curzon-
Considering the fact that the Cretans
have been agitating for autonomy for
hundred years (cres of $50 have the
Irishmen" and cheers from the home
rule benches,) it may be assumed that
they knew the meaning of autonomy.
Anyhow, it may be clearly understood
that the island will not revert to the
rule of the Sultan. (Cheers)

Chief Clarkson, of the G. A. R., recent
ly issued, contains paragraph to the
effect that histories Of the war in this
country, written by Southerners, and
used in Southern schools, should re-
ceive "severe condemnation" That is,
of course, because what they teach is the
truth; if it were otherwise, they should

we're traitors and rebels, who fed at the

force, should receive the severest con
demnation.
