EVIL OF TARIFF-TINKERING.

II there be two citizens of this country
who can agree on tariff schedule they
have not yet teen found. and their dis.
covery would be as wonderful as that of
Columbus. Therefore it is not that we
believe in either the principle or the poll
cy of the Dingley bill, but that we dread
the unknows when Senator Hanna tells
us the tariff must be revised. The revis-
ion might be profitable and may be nee
essary to Republican national commit
tee on the eve Of general election, but
we still believe that the general prosperi-
ty has some claims to consideration, and
we do know that even bad tariff sched-
ule Is preferable to anything we can pos
siblv get with the business demoralza-
ton and confusion and loss that will be
the inevitable consequence of the distur-
bance Of existing relations.
Nor do we believe that the business In

Ccrvera's Trousers utterly Ru,ned
From the New York Press.


Orange, N. J., July 23.-NIichael s. Ma
gee of West Orange, one of the crew of
United States steamship Gloucester, has
written to his nephew, T. ]. McHugh of
Grove street. In telling of Admiral Ger

the Gloucester, he says:
I'VE lowered all our boats I went in
the first whaleboat with Mr.. Edison i'm

ship Infanta Maria Teresa and made a line
fast to her bow and took the other end
ashore and fastened it to a tree. We took
the wounded first. Men with shattered
arms and legs were piled into our boat.
and we made ferry as far as the high
breakers, and then passed them from one
TO another. In this way every one on
board was saved that was able to climb

tight a hold on him, and when he arrived

A Shocking Spectacle.
From the Clevland Plain Dealer


A spectacle, which under ordinary cir
cumstances would strike horror
to the souls of all beholders
but which, in the present time
of actual war and bloodshed. only
served to amuse those who saw it, took
place a few evenings ago at the southwest
corner of Ontario street and the square.
Right before q crowd of laughing citi-
zens a man was beheaded by an execu-
toner clad in Oriental costume. The
headsman held a huge sword, which he
fonded playfully. He felt the edge TO
try its keenness. The spectators smilingly
held their breaths and crowded toward the
heavy black block, in which a circular
hollow had been cut just the shape of the
neck 1t was to receive. The unfortunate
man came forward. his hands tied behind
him. ana turned toward the executioner
with look Of pleading supplication in his
eyes, but II met no sympathetic return.
Then he manfully turned away, placed his
head upon the chopping block and waited
for the end. The headsmen stepped for
ward, rolled up his sleeve and grasped the
handle of the knife. He lifted il above
his head and then-horrors-it came down
with swish and the head of the poor
unfortunate rolled onto the pavement.
What the cause Of the punishment was
could not be learned and nobody seemed
to care to inquire. When the spectators
departed it was noticed that not one of
them expressed any pity for the unfortu-
nate victim.
1t might be well 10 add that the spec
tators described was one of the views,
thrown upon the screen by the linetosco-
pic machine used for advertising purposes
ON the top of building in the vicinity
mentioned.

gown OF green. nearly the shade of the
holly leaves. and the touch OF red in the
garniture might be likened to the ber
ries. The bridesmaids, Miss Rachel
Alexander, sister OF the bride, and Miss
Ada Chase II Indiana, wore toilettes OF
red and carried wreaths of holly. The
decorations throughout the house were
entirely OF Yule-tlde green's. After an

kind that In New York would be refused

he would insist on the Eighth regiment

II may be pertinent to remark In x,assing
that this regiment had at the time OF its
moving and had maintained one Of the
filthiest and most disgusting canteens
to be found in the entire army. From
personal observations OF this canteen
some two weeks since. am prepared TO
assert that II was little better than
serving beer to the soldiers of the Eighth

that the reports show that since this

opinion that most of the interviews with

others, both officers and men, now ap-
pearing at the north In many Of the

reckless and false except az to the filthy
conditions which their own criminal
neglect has caused. In my Judgment

tion that the park Is unhealthy have

stir up sentiment and influence which
would be exerted to insure their relief
