THE NEW TARIFF.

At last the final vote on the Tariff bill in the
Senate has been reached and the country re-
iojces There has been much said OF the com
narrative speed with which this measure has
been worked through Congress, but il Is fair to
add that the country has not before been in such
Urgent need OF immediate action on revenue
measure nor has there been at any other time
for many veals a state Of public opinion so
strongly favorng the action proposed. More
over the measure was passed with the ala OF
several Democratic votes ut every important
stage and II is known that others would nave
been given had they been necessary to insure
lis massage Under such conditions the delay OF
rho biu from April 10 July in the Senate does

necessary for improvement of the measure. But
il * The verdict Of Republican Senators them
selves that the bill was less satisfactory when
+, came from their committee than when 1t came
from tho House. Republican Senators were not
willing 70 support the sugar schedule reported,
and went back nearly to the rate adopted by
the House. They declined to impose additional
internal taxes and the duty on tea. in order to
make ND for excessive reduction Of duties ON
imports. and In many other respects the caucus
of Reuubcan Senators restored or moved near
or 70 the rates of the House. AS 1t now stands.
the tariff is lower than the act OF 1890 on near
" every schedule on which 1t materially differs.
but is altogether more protective and satlsfac-
tory than when 1t was reported, though still
needing Improvement In some respects
The most serious Of these concerns the reve-
nre-producng power Of the bill. 1t Is pity
that the suggestion of Secretary Gage, to raise
about S16OOOOOO more revenue by tax on
sugar refined from raw sugar imported prior
10 the passage Of the act. was not made early
enough to be incorporated in the bill by formal
act of the Republican caucus and the Finance
Committee. 1t is calculated to recover for the
Government a part of the revenue which refiners
sought to turn into their own pockets by heavy
importatlons at present duties, and by after
ward advancing prices to cover the increase OF
du,jcs. The action of the conference committee
on tho suggestion will be watched with much
interest. and also It's action oh the changes re-

The commerce Of New-York Is now less than

In 1896 It fell to between 4S and 40 per cent, and

The commerce Of New-YOrk did not increase In

High Water Bill" Moorhead,

William 81. Moorhead, better known
during later years as "High Water
Bill" has just died at his home in
Pembina, North Dakota, after an ILL
ness of six months. This sobriquet
he gained by his numerous prophecies
as to just how high the water in the
Red River would rise each year, and,
be it said, his predictions were usually
not far astray. AS an incident in this
line it is said that this spring, before
the snow melted, as he was lying in
his bed on the lower floor of his
house, talking "high water" to WIS.,
itor, he reached down about half way
on one of his bed posts and said:
"You'll see the water up to this spot
when the snow melts, and his predic-
ton was verified. He refused to be
carried up stairs until the water came
in on the floor.
Mr.. Moorhead was a typical from
tiersman and general favori.e. The
history of the Red River valley would
be far from complete without an inter
esting reference to q man who was
known far and wide for his genial
good nature and interesting stories of
the pioneer life in the northwest
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
