TARIFF DEBATE OPENED.
Adequacy OF the Wool Schedule Receives
Early Attention.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 25.-Special
Telegram.-The long-expected Senate
debate on the tariff bill began today
with an explanatory speech by Sena-
tor Aldrich. The Rhode Island Sen
ator was able, adrOit, and seemingly
frank in his defense of the bill as
amended by the finance committee,
but he was not altogether convinc-
ing.
Some of the Republican senators
and many Republican members OF
the House who were present were
not convinced of the reliability OF
his statement that the sugar arschedule
was only fair to the sugar refiners
and gave them less protection than
did the Mckinley bill, OF that the
wool schedules were the highest pro-
lection ever given tn wool i'm a tariff
bill. Chairman Dingley did not &C.
cept the statement regarding the
sugar schedule as unassailable and
| General GrosvenOr did not hesitate
to deny in private conversation the
truth of the statement regarding
wool.
Mr.. Aldrich based his statement or
the percentage Of protection meas
ured by the present low price of wool
which General Grosvenor holds to bt
unfair and he says that he will fight
it in the house.
"The bill will never become a law
with the sugar and wool schedules
proposed by the Senate" said Gen
eral GrOsvenor. 1.-THE Republican,
of the, country would not sustain
congress in such action. L, for one
will vote against the bill II thes'
schedules are adopted by the senate
and 1t might not be a bad thing t.
have such q bill defeated. If Mr.
Aldrich thinks that the sugar sched
ule is lower than that in the Hous
bill, why did sugar advance in pric
when the senate amendments wer
made public, and II the wool schedul
u gives the highest protection eve
lgiven to wool, why did wool fall II

amendments were known to tn

chance Of success if it had shorter

in spite Of Its name. The members Of

to purchase lands in the southwest on

til! the colonists arc set going. These
once upon self supporting basis, the
society will turn its attention to the
next task, which is the starting Of q
system Of c. operative mining among
the workers III that branch Of industry.
Funds will be raised as before by reg
ular contributions from members, and q
mine or mines will be purchased OUT
ripht. Western miners themselves will
develop this plan. In time 1t is believed
that labor the country over can be Ays-

undertaking, but on the face Of it there
is nothing impossible In it. Rev. Myson

large increase, and the total reached
Sac, 900 feet. an increase OF u million
and a half over the previous week,
and double what they were the cor.

that the country dealers now feel

outlook for the sale Of lumber is

the new tariff bill will decrease the
imports of pine lumber ut the cities

Bicycle Repairmen's Woes.

Bicycle rcpairmen are in a position
to Judge the merits OF the different
kinds Of tires brought to them for
repairing. They are generally un-
biased In their opinion as to which
tire IL the best until they try to re-
pair it; then they soon find out
which Is the easiest to repair, and
which stays repaired when 1t has
been fixed. The following from u
dealer and repairman in Clarksv!lle.
Tenn, may be of interest to riders:
Singlc-tube tires are not al all pop
ular here, for nobody can repair them
when they have trouble. consider
myself a pretty good repairman. and
have never been able to plug one OF
them so 1t would hold any length OF
time. Nearly everv rider of single
tubes here has changed for Morgan
& Wright.
Here is another from repairman
in New York city:
I have used NJ. & W. tires for the
last three years, and the more l
handle them the better like them.
l repair, on an average, about one
NJ. & W. tire to i've sinsle-tube tires.
1t is not that there are only a few
NJ. 4 WIS in this district, but because
when they are once repaired they
don't break out again in the same
place, like q single-tube.
A Cambridge City, Ind, man also
says:
think I am q pretty fair work
man, and believe can repair a single
tube tire as often as anyone, but /
meet with failure oftener than sue
cess, and indeed, find that the single
tube is generally unsatisfactory.
don't see what anyone can see IN a
! tire of this type that recommends it.
Still another from Terra Haute,
Ind, bicycle firm:
| They can say what they want
about single-tube tires, but we no.
tice they give mp and come back fIr
the NJ. & W. when they want tire
that will give good satisfactory
service. We had no trouble at all
with the Morgan & Wright tires, and
are going to use them this year. s "a

MAY MOVE TO FARGO.
Report That the Bralnerd
Street Car Line Will Be
Transferred to Fargo.

A report comes to the Transcript,
on what we regard as reliabale
authority, that the Brainerd electric
street car line Will soon be removed
from that city to Fargo, N. D. The
line has been in operation in Brain
erd for three or four years, and has
been a heavy expense to the owners
much of the time. The plant was
run by steam, and at some seasons
of the year the cost OF fuel and labor
would exceed the income from fares.
SO that the Investment brought the
owners nothing. The line is owned
by G. N. and Fred Parker, and two
years ago they planned consolida-
ton of several interests there, but
the deal was never completed. An
offer was made the city for its
4electric-light plant, -andit~swas: &C.
:cepted by vote Of the people; the
Parkers were then to purchase the
dam and water power improve
ments from the bondholders, and
then the street car line and electric
light plant were to run by power
from the dam. The same parties
already owned the local telephone
line, and it looked possible that a
combination of all these interests
would make all selfsustaining, ifnot
profitable. For some reason the
consolidation was never carried out,
ard the street car line has continued
to be burdened with the heavy fuel
expense for power.
The abandonment of the Brainerd
line, following the bankruptcy of the
st. Cloud company and the suspen-
sion OF the saltwater road shows
that it takes a pretty good city to
maintain q street car line.
The Brainerd line had someadvan-
tages not usual in a town of that
size. The line extended to the Brain
erd lumber company's saw mill,
about two miles from the city,
where several hundred men were en-
ployed during the saving season;
and it also reached the depot of the
Bralnerd 4 Northern Minnesota
railroad, situated near the saw mill,
so that it had the work of transfer
ing to or from the city the passen-
gers who Travelled the railroad.
Fargo may prove better field, and
is certainly fairly promising. espec.
