NO NEW TARIFF BILL.
Dingiey Says the Measure Will Not
BE Completed This Session.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Mr. Dingley
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, exploded the rumor that the
new tariff bill would be reported to the
house this session. He doubted if it
would be finished by the fourth of
March, and if it is, there is no inten-
ton Of laying it before the house until
the extra session.
The measure will be subject to change
not only until it is reported, but dur
ing the general debate on the floor, as
we'll as open to amendments, when it
is considered under the fiveminute rule.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee will work on the bill as a whole.

paper Of that state that is glad that
the populists secured control Of the
state government because of the
rottenness they have unearthed.
The republican ex-state treasurer
is short over s500,000 in his ac-
counts, and is now under arrest,
while the ex-,uditor is over s25, ,0b0
behind. The Call says that it still
believes in republican prime pies,

~OLD STOhSSE { a.. HUSBANDS.
BostonS Great Scheme 10 Secure to the
Absent Housewife Peace OF Mind.
The resources OF modern civilization
are capable of meeting nearly all the
demands OF The woman who wants to
70 into the tpfinsry Tor thc summer
with free r'inS, absolutely devoid OF
care for the home she leaves behind
her. There are, ssys the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle, storage ware
houses where she may safely bestow all
her houses furnishings. safe deposit
vaults for her valuables, places where
her dog, her cat, her parrot or her
canary can enjoy all the comforts of
home
But in one most important and es-
sential point modern civilization fails
this woman. For II not the most valued,
certainly the most important and frail-
est object in her urban encourage. the
source Of more anxiety and care than
cll the other accidents Of her environ
lants combined, no place Of safe be

What shall l do with my hushand?N
Term civilization returns no answer.
cannot take him along. In the
%. plnce, he won't go; in the second
. ecc, she doesn't want him. But there
no safe place TO put him. She must
ggc him knocking about, entirely out
view Of his lawful guardian angel, the
port of fate and bachelor aequaint-
anees, subject to all the risks against
which her presence by his side ordi-
narily insures him. The result is that
many woman who really needs and
deserves long summer rest abandons
her cherished project, and the pro-
prietor Of some summer resort loses her
patronage.
We are pleased tolearn that in Bos-
ton. whence al good things come, this
want has been recognized, and an ef-
fort that promises to be successful has
been made to supply it. A cold storage
warehouse for husbands has been es-
tablished by refined widow LADY
who offers to contract with wives shout
to depart for the sea shore orthe noun
tains, TO store their husbands during
their absence and return them in as
good condition as when received, ut the
end Of the season. Her establishment
has some slight resemblance, it must be
confessed, to the ordinary boarding
house Of commerce, but the resem-
blance is only superficial. The great
feature of her plan is constant super
vision Of her charges. Every care will

A case was tried in the oircui

A case was tried in the circuit
court Of this county on Monday
that illustrates the foolishness Of
people who go to law about Moth
ing. A man sued another and got
Judgment for eight dollars in the
Justice court. The defendant APP
pealed. The Judge, jury and all
the court officers, assisted by seven
attorneys and cloud Of witnesses,
after working diligently for several
hours, produced a verdict for
sixty-eight cents in favor Of de-
fendant. In this matter the comfy
has been put to great cost, and
seven attorneys have neen en-
ployed, witnesses paid and much
hard feeling engendered-all for a
verdict of sixty-eight cents. They
we're litisating for principle, they
say, but there is more downright
pig-headedness than anything else
in the whole case. Not the state,
hut the men who let their obstina-
Icy run away with their brains,
should be made to pay all costs
that accumulate.
