Heading on the Importers.

If the Senate should agree to the amend
ment to the tariff bill which the House
| adopted yesterday-the amendment max
ing the duties for which the bill provides
| take effect on and after to-day-there
would be some interesting law suits.
The action of the House in adopting this
amendment is Unprecedented. 1t is by
no means certain that the duties for which
the bill provides will ever be adopted. 1t
is certain that the bill which will be passed
finally will differ greatly from the bill that
is now under discussion. Already many
changes have been made in the bill, and 1t
is understood that it is the purpose of the
Senate to make some very radical changes
in it.
The adoption of the amendment means
practically the passing Of two tariff bills
one to take effect on April l and the other
a few weeks later. Such radical changes
in the tariff within so short a time cannot
but have very damaging effect on bust
ness.
The effect of the amendment, if adopted
by the Senate, viii be to check importa-
tons at once, because no importer will
care to take the chances of having to pay
higher duties now than a few months later
The wisdom of the proposed legislation
is questionable. The purpose of it is, OF
course, to check importations until the
higher duties can be imposed. The repub-
leans are afraid that the Dingley tariff
would make very bad showing for the
first year if importers should import nearly
enough goods to supply the demands of
theirs customers for six months or a year
before the new tariff bill became law.
The fact of the adoption of such an
amendment shows the folly of continually
tinkering the tariff. 1t makes the basis
upon which business can be done extremely
uncertain

The two bills pending in the legislature
! of New York to make a new state out of
| Greater New York amount to very little,
| except to excite comment. The country
members of the legislature are in the ma
jority and they would not consent to the
proposition contained in the bills, even if
it were popular with the people of the city.
There is one thing in connection with the
bills, however. which is worthy of notice,
and that is that they voice a growing SEN
timent that the thinly populated states of
the far west have too much power in the
United States Senate in proportion to their
population. There is a group of half a
dozen of these states which haven't any
where near the population that occupies
the area of Greater New York.
Tt isn't just that there should be such in
equality in representation, and the time
may come very soon when this question
of inequality will command a great deal
of attention.
At the last election, by majority of
more than half a million Of votes, the peo-
pie demanded currency reform, and yet
there can be no such reform, because the
senators from these far western and
sparsely settled states demand none
tary system entirely different from that
desired by the populous east.

A Poker story.

1 suppose everybody who plays poker
believes in luck. Certainly l do, and
have seen certain things at the card table
that in their way were as remarkable as
the rms of a single number at roulette
that makes up the pretty little romances
that go out from Monte Carlo al times and
that used to be dated Baden Baden, says
writer in the New York Sun.
l, sat watching a game one night at a
friends house in St. Nicholas avenue, in
which only intimate friends were playing,
and two of them were ladies. 1 did not
join as there were six at the table and 1
don't like game with seven in.
The limit was 5 cents. There wasn't
a player in the game who knew enough
of card manipulation to deal a crooked
hand, and there wasn't one there who
would have done it under temptation. And
moreover, there wasn't anything like
temptation
Yet one woman in that game held a
succession of hands that would have made
fortune for an ordinarily good player if
ne were lucky enough to hold them in a
stiff game.
was amusing myself by noticing her
essentially feminine style of play when
she began suddenly holding fushes. Five
times IN succession she held a flush be-
lore any special remark was made
Of course, there was the usual chatter
and chatting, but when she showed down
the fifth flush in five deals there was a
general outburst of comment, and con-
fession by her that it didn't seem canny.
The next hand she held nothing. Then
she got four flush and filled. Then she
got pat flush; then, drawing to the ace
and king of spades, she got three more
spades The next hand was nothing and
the next was pat flush.
by this time l was excited myself, as
was everybody in the game, and 1 made
memorandum of the last eleven hands
and began jotting down each hand as she
held it.
In thirty-six consecutive hands she held
tWenty-seven fiushes. None of the other
nine hands held even pair. Five of the
twenty-seven were pat hands; nine times
she drew one card, eight times she drew
two, three times she drew three and twice
she drew four.
At length the lucky lady grew so nearly
historical that her husband made esome
excuse to break up the game 1 was sor-
ry 1t had to be done, too, for 1 wanted to
see how long such run would continue.
but the lady has told me since that she
never, before or since, had any similar
experience, though she plays frequently.

A Trust Buster.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem).

busters" Colorado now proposes to
smash the coffee trust all TO bits. 1t has

clared to be cheaper than rye and better

states and resolutely refuses to grow in
any OF the gold bug states of the east

bushels 10 the acre and is cheaper to grow
than wheat, rye or corn. IL not only

pensive Mocha, but. like mice and hay

Will triumph gloriously. The only dan
ger Is that the coffee pea viii make tho

There has been good deal of guessing
with regard to what Speaker Reed would
permit the House to do when the tariff
bill had been sent to the Senate. But
nobody seems to be in a position to speak
for him. 1t may be that the Senate will
try TO smoke him out by declining to act
upon the tariff bill until the House takes
up the Senate bills. In that event the
speaker might be constrained to go on
with the House reorganization.

Mr.. Nathan Straus of New York, who
may with propriety be designated as the
great milk philanthropist, IS sending out
circular letters TO the municipal boards
Of health of the whole country urging the
Importance of pure milk in the dietary
of babies and children. He maintains that
the milk served to the poor. especially,
should be sterilized (Pasteurized). The
reason for this he sets forth in a very
striking sentence, as follows: Samples of
average city milk perfectly good accord
ing to all of the customary tests of color,
taste, smell and the galactometer, have
been found to contain 2,S5O,OOO bacteria to
the cubic centimeter. or more than twice
the amount of bacterial contents of the
same quality of city sewage" Evidently,
If this milk is to be served to delicate
babies, it ought to be sterilized. Mr.
Straus says that by sterilizing the milk.
infant mortality may be reduced very ma
terially. The spring of the year is the
time when impure milk should be guarded
against with greatest watchfulness.
