promptly upon the meeting Of con-

follow on the heels of revision of the
tariff. He hopes to promote both
measures without loss Of time by get

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, March 49,
Warden Harley, of the Indiana state
prison, has ordered the instant sus-
pension of all work by every convict
mot hired by binding contract. This
sudden action was due to the discovery
that an emergency clause was attached
TO bill passed by the general assem-

bill thus became q law as soon as Gov.

It will be the purpose Of the democrats so far

70 the passage OF q tariff bill but to insist upon
being accorded fair hearing In the debate
upon that measure. We want to go on record
as expressing the opinion that republican poll

proposed bill, ore wrong and will not
bring about return Of prosperity. II

able to go before the country two
years from now and be returned

the right one we may have to wait In the will
