THE RETROACTION FOLLY.

1t seems that the committee of the whole
and the House have adopted the retroac-
tion provision Of the Dingley bill and will
endeavor to foist it upon Congress. This,
OF course, means that the blu will 60 into
effect before it has been approved by the
representatives of the people. We are not
at all sure, however, that Congress will sec
fit to impose this fraud upon the public,
and we are not sure that, even should Con-
gress be so derelict in its duty, the Su-
preme Court would permit this outrage.
Any provision to make a bill in effect be-
fore that bill has become law is dis
tinct imposition upon public rights, and
we do not see how, under the constitution,
1t can be done.
1t may be necessary to go before the
highest tribunal In the land to stop this
hoggish folly, but 1t is a sad spectacle for
freemen. We hope that 1t will not have to
be done. We have trouble enough on our
hands now without taking any additional
burdens

Lawrence Sun: 1t Is proposed to have a
no. license jubilee In Cambridge on May ]
In commemoration of the fact that for 10
successive years In the university city the
sale of Intoxicating liquors hasn't been
legalized within Its limits. The saloon
keepers of Boston ought to contribute lib
orally to help out the celebration, as they
have profited largely by the apparent SELF
sacrificing spirit of the tipplers at the
other end Of the bridge. If its big neigh
Dor should vote no-license some year, how
ever, 1t is very probable that Cambridge
would discard It's virtuous pretentions and
take no chances VI ry soon again of being
forced to go dry because of drought in
the land beyond the Charles.

THE RETROACTIVE TARIFF.

There is small reason to think that re-
troactive provision will be tackled onto the
Dingley tariff bill. The very act itself is
declared to be unconstitutional by some of
the best authorities on constitutional law
and there Is little doubt that such provi-
sion could not stand even IL Congress went
to the length of enacting it. The plain
truth of the matter Is that three or four
Congressman with an eye single to certain
unmentionable interests OF their own have
devised this scare solely to influence trade
and the treasury receipts.
Importers are timid creatures. Once let
them get the idea that the time for the
enactment of the new high protection bill
is nearer at hand than they had supposed
and they will at once turn In and make
every possible effort TO get as much goods
into this country under the lower rates as
possible. IL the scare really pre-
walls IL will not be many hours before
every importer in the country would be
straining nerve and muscle to work of all
the stock he could get hold Of. We do not,
however, believe that any such scare will
prevail Chairman Dingleyis not In favor
OF any attempt to enact provision of this
kind, even II II would be possible to do so,
and he admits that 1t would be extremely
difficult to apply such measure to goods

THE NEW TRIBUNE.

On readers will recall the fact that
whe the present owners OF THE EVEN
ING TRIBUNE purchased the paper the an
no 1ncement was made 1t was the intent to
mlk, 1t a first-class newspaper in every
particular, ana as rapidly as possible i'm
provements would be made in every de-
partment. We are gratified that the time
for the first radical change has arrived,
and 1t is with pardonable pride that we
state the fact which has become very evil
dent to us, that we have entirely outgrown
our present quarters sand capacity. We
have therefore placed orders with the best
makers for perfecting press OF the latest
and most improved make. Type setting
machines will also be ordered, and the
editorial and reportorial force will be in
creased. These changes will necessitate
our removal to more commodious quar-
ters, which will be shortly done. AS soon
an possible the paper will appear in new
dress, and it is the intention to make 1t
thoroughly modern journal for this
community. We think we may venture
the opinion that the growth Of THE EVEN
ING TRIBUNE has been phenomenal, con-
sidering the fact Of the stringent financial
season through which the country has just
passed.
This we trust will not be considered
egotistical. The announcement affords
the opportunity to express our thanks to
our advertisers and readers for their
patronage, for without appreciation on
their part we would not be enabled to thus
prosper. We are sure THE New EVEN
ING TRIBUNE will be found TO be, as 1t
nov is, the paper for the people.

IMPURE MILK AND THE LAW.

The statement made by good authority y
that the high rate of infant mortality II
late is due to the use of diseased milk
cannot be dismissed as fiippant. That
there is a serious possibility that there IL
more than a grain of truth In the state
ment cannot be gainsaid. The use of i'm
pure milk Is propogating disease In the
case of the adult and why should 1t moi
be especially true In the case of infants.
The State OF Rhode Island, In common
with It's neighbors has done much to
eradicate tuberculosis in cattle, but much
remains to be done with this, as we'll a.
many other diseases. Parents who exer
else the utmost care In other respects art
lax in the use of pure milk. Most any.
thing that has the color of milk is too
often made to take the place OF the rea
pure article. But the fault does not lie
with parents alone. A more determined
and specific law must be enacted and On
forced for the protection of milk con-
sumers. A statute that will infiict a Sc
we're penalty upon all milkmen who deal
in impure goods is wanted, and such .
law must be rigidly enforced. 1t will not
do to be lax In this matter. Thousands
Of lives are at stake and the law must pro-
tect them. A comprehensive statute,
rigidly enforced, will do It; nothing short
of this.

Useless Alarm.

The customary quiet of Sunday after
noon was rudely interrupted by loud
cry Of fire coming from the vicinity
of the railroad crossing on North
Main street. The fire alarm bell was
hastily sounded and for time there
was great commotion aboutthe engine
house, but before the steamer could
be gotten out, messenger came from
the fire to say that it had been extin-
guished and all danger averted. Those
persons who nearly broke their necks
in their haste to reach the scene OF con
fagration were disappointed, perhaps,
to find the fire located in small out
building in the rear of DR.. Davidson's
premises on Barker street, and that no
opportunity was afforded to be Of some
service in putting out the fire. The
fire was Of no consequence, and as it
was easily controlled by few men
with buckets, the sounding of the fire
bell was entirely unnecessary. mas

A charming sight was witnessed by a
number of people on the street Satur-
day evening. Perched upon the seat
of buggy standing in front of Good
richs clothing store, were two little
fiaxen haired tots of about three and
five summers. Both were fast locked
in the gentle arms Of Morpheus, and
the head of the younger child was con-
fidingly pillowed upon the bosom OF the
elder sister. That their dreams were
of angels was evidenced by the happy
smile of contentment that ever and
anon parted the tender lips and play
fully caressed the dimpled cheeks OF
each. Many person noting the pret-
ty sight went on his way with heart
touched bv the sweet innocence OF
childhood, and newly awakened re-
solve to lead a purer and nobler life as
an example worthy to be followed by
the toddling feet, which God in his
goodness has planted upon the path
way Of life, too often strewn with
the withered blossoms of blighted
hopes and neglected. opportunities.
