New York Journal, reports an interview
with Mr. Dingley, chairman of the ways
and means committee of the House, in
which Mr.. Dingley admits that the Re-
publicans want surplus of revenue in
order to redeem the greenbacks and
then destroy them, thus retiring them
and leaving the field to the national
banks. So that's the scheme!

We reproduce the letter of James G.
Blaine to Mr.. Mckinley in 1890, when
the Mckinley bill was pending. 1t fits
just now.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1899.
DEAR Mr.. MCKINLEY:-It is a great
mistake to take hides from the free list,
where they have been for so many years
1t is slap in the face to the South
Americans, with whom we are trying to
enlarge cur trade. 1t will benefit the
farmer by adding to 8 per cent to the
price of his children's shoes. 1t will
yield profit to the butcher only-the
last man that needs it. The movement
is ipjudicious from beginning to end-in
every form and phase. Pray stop it be.
fore it sees light. Such movements as
this for protection will protect the Re.
publican party into a speedy retirement.
Yours hastily,
JAMES q. BLAINE.
Objections to the duty on hides apply
equally to the tax on wool. A tax on
hides increases the cost of shoes, as Mr..
Blaine said, but tax on wool increases
the cost of clothing, blankets and carpets.

LAGER, ALES UND WINES"
Meaning Of al. A. w. Hotel" as Ex-
plained by O German.

Among the many advantages set forth by
the l.. A. w. to riders to join the organza
ton are the special accommodations extended
to members at the official hotels in cities and
towns. 1t is the custom in suburban places
for proprietors OF official hotels to display
a sign like this: Il. A. w. Hotel, in some
conspicuous place. Naturally riders patron
ize the official quarters, and as conse-
quence the keepers of road houses and of
hotels IN the country are now hanging out
IL. A. w. Hotel signs. The practice has
been called to the attention of the league,
and its officers are trying to compel the non
official houses to remove the signboards.
Complaint was made to the New Jersey di
vision of the league that a hotelkeeper on
the outskirts of Jersey City not entitled to
display the official sign of the l.. A. w. was
an offender. A visit to the place developed
the fact that the owner was not disposed to
accede to the demands of the leagues rep
resentative. The latter, finding that mild
persuasion was futile, became indignant and
threatened lega! proceedings. The propri-
etor, German, also waNed warm, and in
response to the remark that he was using
the official sign of the league without author
lty, retorted:
"Eot | know aloud veemen's legs? Dot
don't shtand for holdings like dot. Dot
sign shtands for lager, ales und wines hotel,
alretty yet: Dot my leeg, togedder.'
The explanation amused the officials so
much that no legal move was taken.-N. Y.

Among the number of Baltimore fresh air

The COWS were standing about placidly, and,
