NOVEL AMENDMENT TO TARIFF BILL.
Republicans Propose to Have 1t Go Into
Effect Before It Becomes a Law.


Republicans Propose to Have 1t Go Into
Effect Before IT Becomes a Law. +.
-Marsi, SO. 1ohairman
DineIey and his colleagues afa sakhet ways
and means committee will attempt to
have the duties imposed by the new tariff
bill go into effect before the bill becomes
q law. This novel and much discussed
policy was definitely resolved upon at a
meeting Of the Republican members Of
the committee held tonight 'e
The :s1bscommittse consisting Of Rep
tresentatfves Grosyenor. of Ohio. Twaney
of Minnesota and Dklzell of Psnnsyl-
vania, which was authorized to report on
the proposition, presented an amendment
to this effect which they had written and
to offer the amendment tom orrow in the
House. There is no doubt that 1t will be
adopted by party vote.
The theory of the amendment was ex-
planned by a member of the ways and
means committee In these words: 1T
only relates toRoods contracted for subse-
quent to the date on which the bill passes
the House, ard the dealer will make
important purchases with notioe of the
purpose of Congress to impose and COLLECT
certain duties on goods imported after
a certain date. In other words he knows
that goods which he imports will be
liable for higher rate OF duty and there.
casually applicable to bona fide purchases.
FKe law when enacted would simply IRE
late back to an impost duty on goods
purchased for import after the importer
knew that such duties were to be i'm
posed. This will not be retroactive but
retrospective legislation.
. sPoPULtsIs OPPOSE TARIFF BILL. /.
..AadresssIssued Defining the Party's Pos
q sssSa.ss 4 sition.
Washington, March 3o-The Populists
ef tho House and Senate held "a joint
caucus last evening at which an address
was issued defining the position of the
Peoples party on the tariff.
The address INSERTS that the pending
tariff measures In the House is for the
purpose of side tracking real and vital
issues 1t declares that lack of revenue is
nos the, RESULT of defects in the Wilson
hill. as 1t WAS. passed by Congress-. but
resnlted from decision of the Supreme
court which declared the income tax I'M
constitutional. The most direct and
effective method, 1t claims, would be to
restore silver and increase the circulating
medium SO as to restore the level OF
prices which existed prior to the demone-
tizing of that metal.
The address also says: 1--WE do not re-
gard the Dingley bill as revenue Meas
ure. 1t seems to us designed by the Re-
publican party to create such a tariff
agitation as will divert the attention of
the people from the misery they suffer
from contraction of money and the rule
of5monopolias. ~

ENTERTAINED by YOUNG MEN.
An Unique Programme at Trinity
Church Hall.

An Unique Programme at Trinity
Church Hall.
The young mems entertainment last
night at the Trinity church parlors drew
the largest audience that has yet attended
any Of the monthly entertainments given
there. Each successive entertainment has
seemed to be the most successful, and this
distinction will probably abide with the
young gentlemen no longer than when the
next entertainment is given.
The programme last night could best
be described as unique. The parts through
out, with two exceptions, feminine as well
as masculine, were taken by young men,
the exceptions being particularly charm
ing on that account.
Rosenfed's orchestra played several Sc
lections that were well received Master
Sam Brown sang in response to the num-
Der for which he was down and also to
an encore.
A either solo by Mr.. w. e. Swanson was
greatly enjoyed. A comic song in cos
tune was one of the best received of the
shorter numbers. 1t was rendered by
Messrs S. Hardy and r. S. Prickett. Mas
ter Clement Bowling recited the
Charge of the Light Brigade" in such a
happy manner that his audience insisted
on two encores.
court scene, with Mr.. G. A. Glover,
as Judge P. d. Quic, presiding, was very
laughable and was taken part in by the

"Keep the Beaver-watchman in the
Tower"

Editor Morning News: A colony OF
beavers, about one hundred and sixty
years ago, built their dams across and
about a certain stream. They worked as
only beavers can work, and many came,
looked on and stood amazed at the pro.
gress the beavers made. And when any
one asked how they succeeded so well,
and built up such prosperous township,
an old beaver would shut one eye, and
with a knowing wink say: zone of us
always keeps a sharp look out on all who
come up the river" Time went on and
ever and anon, owing to the want of vigil
lance on the part of the "watchman" in
the tower, a colony of small visitors that
would never work, came up the river, and
having found a place to lodge, multiplied
with fearful rapidity. And owing to their
presence, many, very many of the settlers,
fell sick and died. And 1t was always no
ticed that after death, those who died be-
came yellow-yes, very yellow. Now, aft
er these little visitors (who for the sake
of distinction we will call microbes) had
on one occasion done so much damage,
the colony of beavers assembled, and the
wisest beaver of the lot was called upon
for his views He stated that long long
ago, when his father was alive, he had
heard him say that: Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" And now he knew
that the beaver, who had been on the
lookout in the tower had fallen asleep, and
allowed the death dealing colony of mi
crobes TO come in. And now they had act
ually paralyzed the whole business of the
colony, besides putting every member Of 1t
in mourning for some one taken away by
death" Then all asked. what he would
advise? And he said, put In the tower a
beaver who will always keep one eye at
least, on the river" They did so, and for
many years the colony prospered. But
after awhile mutterings OF discomfort
could be heard that the colony was not
progressive; that other colonies did not
keep such strict watch on the river
on which they lived, and many advised
that the beaver IN the tower be given
more work so that he could not keep
one eye on the river all the time. At last
these mutterings reached the ears OF the
Waterman in the tower. and he told them
he would give up watching and let some
one else take the tower. This pleased
some, but dlspleased others. To cut a
long story short, the old beaver advised
that Il was best to keep the old watch
man In the tower II he insisted In
giving Il up. tighten his duties. But Keep
him In the tower. For Il is an easy thing
FOR a colony OF microbes to get a fast hold
but a fearful undertaking to drive them
out T. M. ii.

Naughtin's court went to the Georgia In

weeks ago by the Waterman at the sa.

mans left side and 1t seems an even

niEe Forsyth Park when Ii Is Fin
ished.
Inc work of rebuilding the walks in For
syth park has been delayed seriously by
the recent rains. The grading is now being
pushed, however.
Inc walks surrounding the park have
all been graded and the walk on the Whit
aker street side is practically finished. The
walks on the north and south sides 'front.'
ing CASTOR street, and the park extension
are lald with gravel, but have not yet been
surfaced with granite screenings. The
walk on the Drayton street side has not
yet been graveled. Those crossing the
PARK and winding through it, with the
exception OF the main walk north and
south, which has not yet been touched, are
Wei underway. The plan of the park and
tree commission is to get the other walks
so nearly finished that they may be used
before the main walk is torn up.
When the walks are finished and the low
places in the park have been filed in and
sodded or planted with grass and flowers
the park will present an altogether differ
ent appearance from that before the work
of improvement began. 1t is difficult to
imagine almost its appearance compared
WIN what II was year ago, before the
o-d iron fence was torn down and when the
walks were rough and the park generally
presented an lily kept appearance. In its
rough, unfinished state even now the work
is sufficiently far advanced to show what
it will be-
When the park is finished the military
may take sufficient interest in the appear
ance of the park extension to come to some
understanding with the city whereby the
extension may be kept in, at least, pre-
sentable condition. There has been no
further effort towards its Improvement
or the walks, which are greatly in need
of repair practically nothing having been
done towards their Improvement since
they were torn up by the building of the in
closure around the extension for the mil
itary drills year ago.
