1t happened by mere chance, as Mrs.
Hodgson was careful to explain, that
this was possible. Harriet was sent to
help him carry up his belongings. When
the wreckage left by the wayside had
been collected. and everything he pos
sessed was piled helter-skelter in the
little room on the third floor, the pro-
fessor concluded that he would make
no attempt to put things to rights for
so short a stay. He heard a cab draw
up in front of the house. The new lodg-
er must have come. Prompted by
curiosity possibly inconsistent with the
dignity of the author of Isaac Newton
ard His Compeers," he went to the
window. He stepped back in surprise.
None other than his mutton-pie friend
was to be his successor in the drawing
room floor. His misery was increased
the following morning when he saw
Harriet taking one of Mrs. Hodgson's
works of art in to the one who had
sworn that omelets were the enemies Of
mankind.
He now fairly hated chops and con
descended to ask Harriet for an omelet
for to-morrow's breakfast. She brought
him one-of her own making. He was
on the point of telling her of some
thing that was not to be spoken of
lightly. But he sighed instead. Awork
of art was not to be expected from
such as Harriet.
He did not go to the museum and
strategically contrived to avoid a
meeting with the base interloper all Of
the week. Once he had to wait at the
head of the stairway while he saw
Mrs. Hodgson help the interloper on
with his overcoat-convincing proof
that a man who ate mutton pies would
stop at nothing. Though he became
the terror of the landladies of Blooms
bury, Saturday found him with strange
trunks in his disordered little room and
still with no apartment engaged. 1t
also found him meek as we'll as miser-
able. He went downstairs and knocked
on the door of Mrs. Hodgson's little
room on the ground floor. There was
no answer. Harriet came up from the
kitchen to say that missus was max

As he went out the professor slammed

He was rudeIy awakened next morn
ing by Harriet, who was sweeping and
busting in his sitting-room. Hereto
fore Mrs. HOdgson had made it point
to attend to this herself, doing it so
quietly that the professor was never
disturbed. However, he had his chop
for breakfast; and everything else, even
to the overcoat lying on the chair where
he had thrown it the night before,
was as he had requested.
After ransacking the drawers of his
desk and paving over the disordered
papers on top of it in vain search for
his notebook, which contained the
fruits of three months researches, he
was anything but treasured by a hazy
recollection of having nodded over the
notebook on the previous evening and
having carelessly laid it on the chair
n his side. This had happened before;
but he had always found the notebook

cried to Harriet, when she had answered
the fierce ringing of the bell.
"You-you said anything on the

Don't dare to come back without it!''
Poor Harriet's face burned as she
went downstairs, for she knew, if the
professor didn't, that the refuse wagon
had called some fifteen minutes ago.
The professor paced up and down, with
anger in his heart against Mrs. Hodg-
son and her omelets, until there was a
soft knock at the door, which he recog
nized as Mrs. Hodgson's. He presumed
she had come to apologize for what she

The NEW TARIFF BILL.
Resembles the Injurious MeasuI
OF $500.

Resembles the Injurious Measure
of $500.
What information has thus far been
secured respecting the tariff bill to be
reported by the members of the ways
and means committee indicates that the
new bill from Mr.. Dingley's hands viii
be of somewhat the same pronounced
protectionist order as the original Nc
Kinley bill of 1890. Certain articles
which were not "free" in the former
measure have been placed upon the free
list. And some other articles are taxed
more in accordance with the schedules
CT the Wilson law. But the tariff on
several leading products, among them
wool, has been raised to the limit.
From the outset of the campaign last
year Mr.. McKinley's champions de-
manded that the revenues of the coun-
try be increased through a new tariff
bill; it is being declared that this is the
chief need; that to do away with the
annual deficit in the governments cof-
fers was to restore prosperity. 1t is
upon this policy that Mr.. Dingley at
tackled the tariff question, and the re-
suit of his efforts is a measure propos-
ing to raise certain schedules to a point
where they will be not only protective"
of American products, but are likely to
prohibit imports. The wool schedule
of 1890 is practically restored, though
in effect its restoration upon wool i'm.
portation will be greater now than il
was then.
The notable thing is that Mr.. Dingley
and his associates, having been invited
to prepare tariff for revenue and mod
crate protection, have turned out bill
which may possibly meet the test Of
practice just as did Mr.. McKinley's cele-
brated measure. Under the Mckinley
law the revenues positively decreased;
under the Wilson law, while inadequate,
owing to the the miscalculation respect
ing the income tax, they have shown q
tendency to rise. Mr.. Dingley's bill
seems to be a reversion to the principle
which injured the country in 1890, and
which was explicitly and emphatically
repudiated at the polls.--Chicago Rec

THE REPUBLICAN pRoeRaMNE.
How the New Admsnlstrasion Goes
To work.

u
How the New ADMINISTRATORS Goem
to work.
President McKinley's first proclama-
/ ton declares that an extraordinary oc-
casion requires the congress of the
United States to convene in extra ses-
sion, and sets the date for the assem-
bling of the national lawmakers at
March Is.
It is well known that Mr.. Mckinley
considers the enactment of new tariff
bill embodying the protective principle
as the most vital and urgent business
to command the attention of congress.
He is anxious that such q measure shall
be in operation by the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July I.
The tariff bill which has occupied the
attention Of Chairman Dingley and his
fellow members of the ways and means
committee for over two months is
nearly ready for submission to the new
congress. The wool and lumber rates
have given the committee the most
trouble and the formulation of sched-
ules which will satisfy all the interests
involved viii not be easy of accomplish
Iaent. The bill as il will leave Chair
man Dingley's committee will be near
" if not quite as radical in its protective
features as the Mckinley law.
The republican leaders look for no
serious delay in the house. They feel
confident that no factious or stubborn
opposition win prevent the realization
of the executives wishes as far as the
lower house is concerned. With their
large majority, the party managers on
the republican side feel that they can
out-maneuver the opposition if dilatory
tactics are resorted to by the latter.
In the senate the signs are not as
favorable for smooth sailing. Already
the proposed action of the republican
side in filling the vacancies in senate
committees with their party colleagues
has provoked the warning from the
democrats, independent republicans
and populists that they will unite in OPP
position, in which event the repub-
licans would not be strong enough to
control.
The new administration begins se-
renely, with scarcely cloud on the
horizon. But in these times of political
independence, of strong personal aspi-
rations and conflicting ambitions, there
is no assurance that fair weather will
prevail for long. The conditions now
existent in the senate may rrccipitate
such tempest as that which sent DEM
ocratic tariff reform on the rocks at the
beginning of the last administration.
The president proposes, the house may
concur, but it is the senate. as we have
seen, that disposes.-Detroit Free Presa

DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

BE Checked.

Republican TariM Grabbing Should
BE Checked.
1t is a matter of congratulation to the
country that the democrats in the
United States senate have decided to
subject the new tariff bin to full and
fair discussion.
Republican organs and leaders have
been pleading for haste in the passage
of the bill. They have insisted that the
democrats in congress should stand
aside without protest or debate and let
the republicans shape legislation to
their will. On the plea that the country
needs revenue at once they have at
tempted to create the impression that
delay for the purpose of debating the
tariff bill would be disastrous and
would be resented by the people.
The fact is that it is not delay that il
so much feared by the republicans as
debate of the tariff schedules. They
fear exposure of the grabs concealed
under the alleged desire to secure nee
essary revenue. They fear to let the
new bill be publicly compared with the
Mckinley bill and the object of the va
rious items of the measure brought to
light. 1t might be fatal to the pretense
of opposition to trusts and moH5polies
which Mr.. Hanna marked out as the
course of the administration. It might
show the reason for some of the large
contributions to the republican cam
paign fund.

the tariff grabs through without ex-
posure the democrats are fulfilling a

DISCIPLINE.
Pedagogue.

1t is we'll known fact that govern
ment in the school room is impossible
without discipline and for this reason
every teacher should be thorough
disciplinarian, which, L am sorry to
say, falls far short of being the case.
The majority of teachers who are
noted as disciplinarians have gained
their notoriety through their external
crushing powers, and not by causing
good order to arise within the pupil.
BY external crushing power is not
meant physical force alone, but refer
ence is made to the thousand and five
ways of bribing pupils into the SEM
blance of good order, by rewards and
prizes. The tea ;hers inability as a
disciplinarian, is measured by the am
cunt of compulsory means and pei J
schemes resorted to in his government.
