THE TARIFF
IS IN DANGER |
Senator Chandler Fears the Dingley Bill
May be Defeated.
WESTERN SENATOR'S ATTITUDE !
They Are Inclined to Urge Higher Duties
on Wool, Hides, Coal and Lead ore,
and Pear the West May be
Disseminated Against.

Washington, April S-A number Of
western Republican senator's, more par
icularly those from the Rocky noun
tain states, have united In a movement
TO make sure of securing certain con-
cessions I'm the tariff bill which they
consider important to that section of
the country. There have been several
Informal conferences recently, but up
10 date no conclusions have been
reached.
The articles which the senators have
especially in view are wool. hides, coal
and lead ore. The tendency is to ask
a charge in the portion of the wool
schedule which relates to third class
woods. The probabilities are that there
VIII be a demand for specific instead of
ad valorem rates in this class, and one
senator said today that he would not
be satisfied with less than go cents
pound on any wool.
There is quite a determined move
meut among these senator's for a duty
on hides. The finance committee west
ern senator's say, did not manifest at
first a disposition to grant this conces-
sion, but the western men say they now
find reason to feel encouraged over the
outlook. They probably will ask that
The DUTY be fixed at two cents per
pound, but some Of them appear will
ing to compromise at one and a half or
even one cent
There will be a determined effort to
increase the rate on the lead contained
in ore from one cent a pound, as fixed
by the Dingley bill as it passed the house.
to one and half cents, and to change the
language of the provision. This would
mean a return to the Mckinley rate,
but the language of the Wilson law is
considered preferable to that Of either
the Mckinley law or the Dingley bill
There win be an effort also to pre-
vent any reduction of the house rates
on coal and lumber. The Wyoming and
Colorado senators are especially inter
ested in coal and the Oregon and
Washington senators in lumber. There
are also many smaller items to which
the western senators are giving their
attention. Some of them are inclined
to fear that the bill may be made
to discriminate against western inter-
ests, and desire to organize to prevent
that result.
Senator Chandler today authorized
the statement that the passage of the
tariff might be endangered if the pres
sure for high duties continues. "The
Republicans have not a majority with
out assistance from other parties, and
the danger is that there will be such a
general revulsion of feeling as will
cause the outsiders upon whom we
are counting to not cast their votes for
the bill. So, at least, the matter pre-
sents itself to my mind. The Republic
can members of the finance committee
are disposed to be conservative, but the
| pressure is so strong that they may be
forced to yield. The people who are
/ creating the pressure are thus pre-
/ pairing to pull down upon their own
/ heads the temple that shelters them

THE SPECIAL POLICE.
Chief Burgess Tabor's Pointed Remarks
at the Organization.


The special police appointed by Chief
Burgess Adolph P. Tabor met in the Council
chamber last night for organization and
elected ex-Chief Burgess Burns chairman
aud j. H. Kester secretary.
Chief Burgess Tabor then delivered the
following address to his appointees;
GENTLEMAN:-As Chief Burgess of the
Borough of Shenandoah, by whom your ap-
poiutment as special police officers was made,
deem it my duty, as you are about to enter
upon your Offices TO say few words to you
with regard to the services you may be
called upon to render to the people of this
community and the accountability to which
1 SHALL as the Chief Burgess feel myself
called upon to hold you to for the discharge
of your duties.
need hardly say that you each and all APP
preciate the fact that you are police officers
appointed as aids to preserve the peace and
order Of the community, not only when you
may be called upon by the Burgess and other
officers to do so, but also whenever in the
exercise Of your good Judgment you believe
that disorder is being created and the peace
and good order of the community disturbed.
BY this Of course ! do not mean that
any officer should look upon himself
as ndNiuB inc IlBnb OF authority 10
make arrests or interfere with citizens
or their rights, without good and sufficient
reason. 1 shall expect that, as my assistants,
you will at all times carefully and impair
TALLY, but fearlessly, discharge your duties
to the best interests of our people.
Il shall right here serve notice upon each
aud all of you that l will not permit any
officer to continue to use his office, or the
privilege and the power that his appointment
gives him, solely for the purpose of money
making, or imposing upon the liberties and
rights of our people, no matter who they
may be; the position of special police officer
was certainly never created by law for any
such purpose. / shall be careful whenever a
well-founded complaint is made to me of the
misconduct of any of you, whether in the
discharge of your duties, or as private citi-
zens, to Immediately strip such officer Of his
star"
Upon the conclusion of the address the
oaths of Office were administered to the
police, after which they formed the following
organization Captain, ex-Chief Burgess
James Burns; 1st Lieutenant, John f. Jen
niugs; 2nd Lieutenant, B. g. Hess.

a decision which afIirms that no man
may keep liquor in his house or place

HALL OF
RESCUE Hook & LADDER Co.
SHENANDOAH, PA, April s, 1897


without wishing to air grievances before
the public and having no desire to continue
the controversy, nevertheless we feel it just
to ourselves and the patrons of the company
to contradict certain misstatements made by
the trustees of the Columbia Hose & S. F. e.
Co., in last evenings HERALD. They say we
refused to share the last collections made by
the Rescue Company. This statement is
partially true. At the close of last season,
when the sprinklers of both companies were
out of service, certain business men and
others on Main street requested the Columbias
to continue sprinkling that thoroughtare, and
upon a refusal on their part similar applica-
tiOn was made to our company. We, in line
with our past record to always accommodate
the public in every way in our power, ac-
cepted the proposition, continued to sprinkle
that street, and retained the receipts, no part
of which were the Columbias entitled. What
is more, their sprinkler was not fit for ser
vice. This is a true statement and our course
will be approved by the public, to whom we
leave the subject. Our collector will make
his rounds the latter part of this week, and
we shall appreciate any favors shown by the
public, and thanking for the liberal support
of the past, we remain,
Respectfully,
