Mr.. DINGLEY is not so easily dis
concerted as most of his political oppo-
nents would have him appear to be-
The results sof the new tariff law are
good and great when conditions are all
considered. This fact was brought
plainly before congress Friday by Mr..
Dingley himself, who ably pointed out
the reasons for the facts that exist, and
and the misleading figures which have
been published at various times. The
statement of the secretary of the
treasury, he said, had caused much
misrepresentation owing to the fact that
under new provision of law he had
been obliged to include in the estimates
of expenditures $73,000,O00 for public
works, which neither he nor the secre-
tary of war nor any we'll informed per-
son believed would be expended.
Counting this the deficit is $21 100000.
Mr.. Dingley states that the 9secretary
of the treasury and the president are
both confident that the receipts next
year will exceed expenditures, and fig
ured out a surplus of $10,00O,000 for
the coming fiscal year. The rate of
increase in revenues since the adoption
of the bill has been from one to two
million a month. Althoughlthe month
of December is usually bad month
for importations it is a fact thatsif the
increase for the first nine days of the
month be maintained the receipts
would increase from $50, 100000 in No
vember to $27,OOO,O0O in December.
At this rate before May or June of
1898 the receipts will be far in excess
of the expenditures.

School Board Meeting.

The regular meetingaof the board of
education was held Tuesday night at
the city hall. The president of the
board was absent, and on this account
very little business was transacted.
The usual number of bills were allowed
and the board proceeding to act on the
example Of the Chicago council, passed
a resolution that, any of the board
desiring, should attend the meeting Of
the state convention of school officers
which meets in Milwaukee on Dec. %,
at the expense of the school fund. ~
The action of the board in showing
this progressive method should be
encouraged. Kenosha has always
stood in the first rank in the matter of
schools, and it might be good thing
for members of the board to give a few
hints to the managers of the schools in
other parts of the state. No other
business of Importance was transacted.

WE ARE informed from Washington
shat while there is no serious talk of
the evacuation of Fort Sheridan the
high officials of the war department are
inclined to recommend such thing,
on the ground that in the present sit
nation the boys in blue are too subject
30 the temptations offered by the close
proximity of a large city. Such rigid
discipline as is represented in men of
authority. like Lowering for instance,
ia not in itself sufficient to remove the
dangers lurking in the indictments Of
Chicago, and to protect the soldiers.
The Chicago papers are also urged as
q cause of change in the situation Of
Fort Sheridan, owing to the fact that
those papers are so inclined to seusa-
tionalism that the doings of privates
are made the basis of sensational re-
ports which are a detriment to the
seTyice.

The following paragraph, taken
from a copy of the Monroe Times, is
worthy a perusal by every parent:
" 1t is matter Of great doubt whether
parents who can find fault with the
school teacher give thought to the fact
that she is making good useful citizens
out of lot Of little anarchists, any
one of whom is more than a match for
his parents. She takes the bantling
fresh from the home nest, full of pouts
and passions, an ungovernable little
wretch whose own mother admits that
she sends the child to school so she can
get little peace at home. Here the
teacher is surrounded by all sorts of
dispositions and temperaments. she
must put up with their incessant noise
and clatter, and is always expected to
be pleasant and kind, though firm,
while she Sinstructs them, and on her
training more than their mothers does
their future depend. Parents who
often get cross and out of patience
with two or three children Of their own
flesh and blood should be charitable
toward school teachers who have so
much to contend with. Of course they
get pay for it, but the pay is usually
poor for the amount of work that is
required, the education and intelli-
gence needed, and the natural ability,
which is by no means the least impor-
tant of the essential points requisite in
a good teacher. In addition to good
pay she should have the support and
sympathy of parents as WE'LL"

FUGITIVE THREE YEARS.
G. Il. Desmond, a Defaulter, Run II
Ground al Last.

" Des"Ouuy DtIstulleTt NUN ~
Ground at Last.
Buffalo, March 19-Three years ago
Cornelius e. Desmond, paymaster for
the West End Street railway of Boston,
disappeared and with him vanished $500
of the companys money. Tonight he
is locked up in police headquarters here
and officers are on their way from Bos-
ton to take him back. How Desmond
fell behind no one knows. He was I'M
married, and had, as far as the COM
pany knew, no bad habits. Detectives
in Boston and New York tried to trace
him, and did at times hear something
Of him, but would in every instance
lose the clue and so failed to locate
him.
Desmond was under bonds furnished
by the American Security company Of
New York, and after the police Of the
large cities failed to find the absconder
the security company placed the case
in the hands of detectives. Holiday
tried and failed in several plans, but
last November sent a decoy letter ad-
dressed to G. e. Desmond, Boston. No
word came in reply until the 10th Of
the present month when Holiday, the
detective, found in his mail letter
bearing the postmark of Buffalo, N.
Y. 1t was from Desmond. He said he
was in Buffalo living under the name
of l.. j. Lawrence.
Holiday came to Buffalo and worked
with the local police in looking for Des-
mond, alias Lawrence. Yesterday
another decoy letter was sent to Des-
mond in care of l.. J. Lawrence, and
then Holiday and Detective Sergeant
Devine stationed themselves in the
postoftice waiting for the defaulter to
call for his mail.
Shortly after noon to-day man ask
ed at the wicket for mail for Lawrence
or Desmond. The detectives heard him
and when he received his mail they
stepped up and asked his name.
Lawrence" replied the man, with a
| frightened look.
''Then what are you doing with
| Charles Desmonds mail?" asked the
| officers.
Desmond turned pale and trembled
| like a leaf.
| "Tll own up. I am Charles Des-
| mond,' he said. "It is all off,
He was taken to headquarters and
| locked up, where he will await extra
| dition.
| Desmond looked more like tramp
| than anything else. He had sunk to a
| low level and was living in cheap lodg-
| ing houses He had travelled all over
America and Canada.

| CHILD rs SAFE AND SOUND.
| Frank W. Wells Neither Killed Nor Kid.
| mapped His Baby

Boston, March 19-There was a sim
gular ending to-day of the supposed
infanticide case at No. Asylum street,
in which Frank w. Wells was arrested
last night on suspicion of having made
way with a newly born infant, Of which
he was believed to DE the father. The
mother was positive he had disposed Of
it and there were various circumstances
which made this theory plausible, but
Wells strenuously denied the charge.
This morning, as two officers were TAX
ing Wells from the station to court
one of them suggested that it might be
well to call at the house and see if
there had been any new developments.
The outside door was ajar and as they
entered the hall one of the officers no.
ticed bundle lying on the floor and
upon investigating found that it con-
tained the missing child alive and ap-
parently in good condition
The baby was at once restored to the
overjoyed mother. Wells was taken to
the station, the bottom having fallen
out of the infanticide. The police are
now trying to ascertain who kidnapped
the, child. Some one took it from it's
mothers side between and o'clock
yesterday afternoon and kept it all
night. 1t probably never would have
been returned but for the sharp action
taken by the police, and it was doubt
less fear of detection by the police that
led to it's queer return. If Wells as
sisted in taking it away he certainly
did not return it.
The police are now almost convinced
that Wells told the truth and they are
looking for woman who lives in the
house and whom they suspect of being
the responsible agent Of all the excite
ment. The woman expressed a great
liking for the baby, and wanted to take
it, but the mother would not consent.
This morning this woman went out
of the house, then returned and imme-
diately departed again. Her return
| and second departure antedated the ar
rival of the two officers with the prison.
| ers only a few minutes. Just before
leaving the house she opened the door
of the sick room. She saw Sergeant
! Daley sitting in the room and she
withdrew and left the house. Wells is
; held prisoner until this woman can
: be found.

is found in the estimates of the rate OF
wages to the amount produced. The
product which goes through seVerai
factories is added each time over again
in making up the sum total of the prod
ucts of labor, and the first price OF the
product is added this way over ana
over again.
1T is in this way that socialist agi-
tators make out that the portion OF la
Dor of the whole sum produced is small
er than it used to be.
I'm 1850 the number of factories
through which a given article would
pass In process of manufacture was
much fewer than at present, and so the
proportion of wages seems smaller then
than now through this error of con-
stantly adding the first price of the
product at each stage Of its manufact-
ure.
IAN error almost as bad is made by
Edward Atkinson on the side of the
capitalist, who estimates the laborer
portion at nine-tenths of the whole
products, which Is much too large and
results from a logical fallacy in Atkin-
sons reckoning, the true proportion be-
ing about eight-elevenths.
Another error arises in the computa-
tion of tariff rates by such an error In
reckoning the average rate of the Nc
Kinley tariff as the lowest we have
had, although one of the highest tar
iffs, in fact"
Professor Hadley then explained how
the rates for passenger and freight
traffic varied in the different countries,
freight rates being determined in large
part by the length of the haul, which
makes the rates in the United States
less than in other countries; while pas
senger rates are determined by the fire.
quency of the service.
In the United States people prefer
paying for their frequent service, while
in some of the other countries theiI
time is not so valuable but what they
are willing to wait half a day for a
train in order to save fifty cents.

FORD SALISBORY,S REPLY,
Says the Earl of kimberly's Assertions Are
Untrua

London, March 19.-In the house of
lords, to-day, Lord Salisbury made a
bitter criticism upon the speech deliv-
cred by the Earl of Kimberly, minister
of foreign affairs in the Rosebery cab
met, at the meeting of the National
Federation at Norwich, Wednesday
evening, in which he asserted that "ac-
cording to Lord Salisbury the policy of
France is also that of England and is
based upon the maintenance of the in
tegrity of the Ottoman Empire
This assertion, Lord Salisbury said,
was wholly untrue If, he continued,
the policy of the liberal party was to
abandon the Ottoman Empire it had
been lately adopted. Lord Kimberly
would probably again become foreign
minister of Great Britain and in that
event he asked would his lordship then
disregard the policy of maintaining the
integrity of the Ottoman Empire
Lord Kimberly replied that he had
intended what he had said to mean that
the liberal party would depart entirely
from its past policy regarding Turkey
and maintain that the Ottoman EN-
pire was a standing menace to the
peace of Europe.
