just how much information OF practical
value in the work before it, that of franz
ing tariff bill, the Committee on Ways
and Means obtlined during the series O
public hearings just closed it is imposs BILE
for any one not member OF the COM
mittee 10 even approximately estimste.
IL may be said further that en- this point
the members Of the committee may not
themselves have made up their minds.
There has been much discuss ion and
no end of criticism of the met thods pur-
sued in giving bearings, but tbess criti-
cisms come not from the friends of pro-
tective tariff but from its enemies, snd
will be given weight accordingly.
10 an unprejudiced mind IL must ap-
pear that an important preliminary to the
exacting work of framing a tariff bin
must necessarily he the hearing of repre-
soDtatives of those interests that are likely
to be affected by ii. In this way more
definite aud positive information can be
obtained than in any other, wniie /, 4,
bat fair and just taat the representatives.
OF tho affected Interests should be per-
mitted TO state their cases as freely and as
fully as circumstances will allow. That
such statements are apt TO be biased is
not Questioned. Indeed II is in line with
humnn nature that they should b. so, but
this coioring, this iayoring of personal
irtere ts,is generally expected. and being
expected, allowance can be made for II.
1t would be the neigh, OF Stiffness, how

IT is believed that a mum ber of the west
ern banks that have failed are really SOL
venr, but that they have been forced TO the
wall by the alarm that has been created.
The failures 90 not indicate that there is
any business distress In the West nor docs
the situstion warrant any failing of con-
fdencs and 1t is to be noted also that the
important failures where insolvency exists
are largely due to <nismsnagemeDt or TO
losses made many months ago, that have
boen carried until 1t was impossible to
carry tnem longer. Ths present conai-
tions Of com merce and business in the
West are probab bly, exsctly as good as they
are with us here in the East. Eist and
W's', the times might be better, nut
providing business interests are not
carrying too much dead horse and assum-
ing conservative management the situation
may lie said to be fAvorable with no
recent setbacks.

Some light may be thrown upon the
lean novelist, by reference to the num-
bers of Il. Marion Crawford's novels
which have been sold in the United
States alone, without considering the
large number sold in England ana her
colonies, or the numerous trans1ations
made into French, German, Italian and
other languages. Tne sales of his first
book, Mr.. Isascs, for example, are now
in their hfty-third Thousand, while his
most popular hnok, -Saraeinesear scores
more than over 10, 900 above the hundred
thousand mark, Saint Ilario, Don
Orsino, DIR. Claudius, katharine Lauder
dale. The Three Fates, The Ralstons. Casa
order named, SO that the claim which
some reviewers make that Mr.. Craw-
ford's American novels are not equal to
those whose scene is laid in Italy seems
TO lack confirmation If the taste Of pur-
chasers can be taken as an, idex of pu blic
opiIion. Only four novels on his list
have had larger sales. while these four
have been several years more on the
market 10 partially account for this. The
total sale OF Mr.. Crawford's novsls in the
United States has been upwards of half a
million copies, even according to the in
CON plete estimate upon which this infor-
nation is based wherein one of the
lesser novels is not mentioned az all and
some years sales OF Others formerly pub
lished by other firms than Mr.. Craw-
ford's present publishers. Macmillan IL
Co., are not included in the total.

shrove Tuesday.

Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, the
day that people applied and still apply 70
the priest to shriye them before entering
the great fast Of Lent the followlngsday.
And on this solemn day cruel custom
was observed in Christian England; "A
hen is hung at a fellows back, who also
has some horse bells about him; the rest
of the fellows are blinded, and have clubs
in their hands, with which they chase
this fellow and his hen about some large
court or small enclosure. The fellow
with his hen and bells shifting as well as
he can, they follow the sound, and some-
times hit him and his hen; other times,
if he can get behind one of them, they
thresh one another well-favorably; but
the jest is, the maids are to blind the
fellows, which they do with their aprons,
and the cunning 5agagges will endear
their sweethearts with a peeptng hole,
whilst. the others look out as sharp to
hinder it. After this the hen Is boiled
with bacon. and store Of pancakes and
fritters are made. -

he Second Parish vestry yesterday. The
PRESIDENT, Mrs. J. J. Frye, was in the
,hair. Rev. Mr.. Hack opened the meet
ing with prayer.
The treasurer reported over ss7 in the
treasury.
A very interesting letter WAS received
from Rachel Kirk. who has been in
working in behalf of the Indians for II
years.
1t Is hoped thar the Mission home
built by this society will soon be ready
for occupyinoy. A letter was also read
from Merrill e. Gates president of Am
herst college.
Mrs. Frye gave an interesting account
OF Mrs. Tuttle's work.
Mr.. Hack gave brief talk upon the
Indians. He said that the Pilgrims
were in harmony with the Indians, and
it would have been well for the country
If their example had been fullo wed.
The Indian question should be taken
from party politics. and should be kept
from UNCONVENTIONAL Interference. Soon
the time is coming that the Indian will
be more than man: he will be citi-
zen. A very interesting letter was read
from Mrs. Tuttle, giving an account of
the work :of one of the Modocs, and the
influence of religion among their fam
lilies.
