The Democrats and the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 22.-The
Democratic senators held a caucus
today and decided to inaugurate their
fight upon the tariff bill as soon as the
bill is taken up in the senate by o
motion to strike out the internal
revenue features of the bill relating to
beer and tobacco.
This result was reached after dis
cussion in which practically all the
senators present participated. The
conclusion was unanimous that this
was the wise and polite course to
pursue. The talk was based largely
upon the proposition to increase the tax
upon beer, which was generally criti-
cised as an effort to increase the price
of 1.-The poor mans beverage, - which
was pronounced wholly unjustifable in
time of peace and with SEQ, 600, 600 of
idle money in the treasury. The pro-
posed beer tax was condemned as a war
tax.
Senator German urged the advis-
ability of the introduction of a substi-
tute for the entire bill and made a
speech in support of the proposition,
but it was soon made apparent that
the sentiment of the caucus was almost
unanimously in opposition to this course
and the proposition was not pressed to
a vote. Mr.. German gave only a brief
outline of a substitute. He said he
thought bill could be prepared which
would levy a revenue duty on tea and
coffee and other articles which increase
the government customs receipts

A Minute In Jail.

LITTLE Rock, Ark. May 22.-In the
circuit court this morning State Senator
R. D. McMullin, who recently

on account of articles published in the
Gazette, of which Smithee is the editor,
criticizing the senator course in the
legislature, entered a plea of guilty to
an indictment charging him with
aggravated assault. Senator McMullin
was sentenced to pay fine of 800 and
serve one minute in Jail.

WHEN asked for his views on recent
statement made by Vim. j. Bryan,

Democracy as party is committed to
the restoration of silver; its organiza

now on every election, congressional
state and national will be fought on that
issue, It is as idle to talk of compro-
missing with 90 called gold Democrats as
it is to talk Of compromising with Re
publicans. The Democratic party is
united vigorous and self reliant. -

The Republican senators who are
holding an autopsy on the mangled re-
mains of the Dingley bill appear to have
come to one sane conclusion. They have
been forced to acknowledge that a pro
hibitory tariff will not produce revenue.
However affective it may be in fostering
monopolies it will not cure a deficit.
They are therefore compelled TO supple
ment the restrictive tariff with some
revenue taxes.

THE situation in congress seems to be
that Speaker Reed will not allow the
house to engage in any other legislation
until the tariff bill is passed, and the
senate will not pass the tariff bill until
other legislation is assented to. And
meanwhile the era of prosperity which
was advertised for a continuous per-
Torrance undergoes a continuous post
ponement.

THE Elk Slaves Association of Madison
Ark has filed articles of incorporation.
Its purpose is to secure pensions for ex
slaves their widows and orphans. That
purpose will never be accomplished.
While this is not likely to be accom-
plished. the Republicans can be de-
pended on to see that the amount of the
pensions does not run lower than at
present.

Hare Hunting.

The branch Of sport has a host of ear
nest supporters throughout the North
ern States and Canada, and many fine
dogs are kept for the sole purpose OF
driving the white fellows. Some hunt
ers use native foxhounds and cross
breeds, such as are used to drive deer.
Needless to say, the man who regularly
hunts deer and harss will keep certain
hounds for each kind of work. Hounds
schooled 70 drive hares are a nuisance
on deer hunt. owing totheir tendency
to follow the lesser game when the
greater is wanted. Smart barriers are
excellent for hares, but perhaps the
best dogs for the purpose are good
sized beagles. These enterprising fell
lows are unexcelled as trailers and have
fine voices, while. they are Just large
enough to have the necessary speed
The very small beagles will trail en-
Enthusiastically and make fine music, but
they are comparatively slow. More
over, their short underpinning is not
the best pattern for work in deep snow
In which the cream OF the hunting Is
usually to be had. The very small be-
agile is a dear little dog, true game
and interesting, but he shows 10 best
advantage on the trail of the cotton
tail.n-outing.

A New York newspaper. after careful
investigation, fixes upon s25, 900 year
as the amount that Is absolutely neces-
sary to dress q fashionable woman in a
satisfactory manner and make her hap
py. The list of what she requires is not
long, but the total cost runs to the figure
named,
The information is valuable. II con-
tains the secret of so much martial woe
in this land which the courts are so often
called on to settle. A fashionable
woman, to be dressed in a satisfactory
manner and to be happy, must have at
least s25, 900 every year 70 spend on her
clothes. The dictum is little tantolog-
ical, because not until woman is dress
ed in satisfactory manner. can she be
happy. This rule, we believe, is uni
versal.
As President of the United States MIR.
Cleveland draws salary of 81, 900. Ac-
cording to the New York standard, he
must give half to his wife in order that
she may be happy Probably it was
this moving consideration for domestic
felicity in the White House that induced
Congress several years ago to double
the presidential salary. 1t is more
than likely that Mrs. Cleveland belongs
to that old style class of women who
find happiness in their children and
their homes. However swift the pro-
gress of New York society may be
away from the old landmarks, there is
reason 20 believe that there are still
numbers of women in this country
wives, mothers and maid--who dress
in satisfactory manner and, ergo,
are happy, without spending as much
as s25, 600 a year for clothes.
In fact, some women who have only
81, 600 to lay out in dress manage to
look happy. Others there are, too, who
jog along some way on less than 81 600
a year gross income with which to meet
all household expenses, and their faces,
from one end OF the year to the other,
are wreathed in smiles. These women
must be happy or they would cry instead
OF laugh.
But, evidently, before we can UNDER
stand this new condition precedent to
happiness in New York homes we must
get correct idea of what fashion
ablen woman is. Then, if nothing less
than s25 COG 9 year for clothes can make
her happy, the New York man should
provide several times 5000. because
this would make her all the happier,
and such small things should not be al.
lowed to stand between women happi.
