THE DINGLEY TARIFF LAW
As Revenue Producer 1t is Exceeding Ex-
pectations.
still There Will BE Deficits Owing to
Extraordinary War Ex-
penses.

'If the author of the Dingley tariff law
were alive said a treasury official today,
"he would be gratified to observe the OPP
erations of the revenue act which bears his
name. The Dingley bill is producing rev.
enue to an amount which promises to an
swer all the expectations of its trainers.
IF it were not for the war and the un-
usual expenses entailed thereby, the Ding
ley law would raise enough money, to-
gether with the other revenues Of the gov
ernment. to meet all normal obligatio
without the aid of the special internal rev
enue taxes levied last year"
This Interesting statement contrroverts
the assertion made in Congress by the free
traders that the Dingley law was failure
as revenue producer. Even with the IN
creased receiDts under the war revenue
act however there will be deficit at the
end of the present fiscal year. ana 4 deficit
of smaller dimensions al the close OF the
fiscal year which begins July /. 1t was at
first estimated that the deficit OF the pres
ent fiscal year would be $1l2,Gn0W'. 1t
Will probably be little more tban that.
For the coming fiscal year it may be S,'o-
coo,~*', and perhaps a ittie H.1re. MI
gar,lei in welI-iuformed circles as gro
teSUue
Extraordinary War Expenses.
These deficits are due, of course, TO the
extra ordinary expenses on account of the
war. and with which the treasury will be
burdened for at least another year. Con
ditions have changed on account of the
war. and permanent expenditures will he
increased Through the increase in army and
navy esta blishnents, so that it would not
he fair to discuss the revenues under the
light of present con ditionS. If there had
been no war at all the Dngley law would
have been sufficient for years TO come.
The revenues for March. as shown by
treasury figures, are gratifyingty large. but
no unusual significance should be attached
to this. il is said. because it indicates little
more than return to healthy. normal con-
ditions. March is the great importing
month and the treasury always looks for
an increase IN the customs revenue at this
time.
The receipts from customs thus far this
month have been si2 2,324 $50. For the entire
month il is estimated they will amount to
nearly S20.tsnet0, and possibly to more.
The receipts for March, 1S9S, were slJ. .3to-

THE WRESTLING CONTEST WAS
TOO EASY FOR THE TURK.

The wrestling contest between the Turk
and Charles Moth yesterday was a dis
appointment to a large number of people
who put up their none to see a good
match. In fact, it was no match at all,
for Moth would not wrestle, n when
the Turk would get a hold on Moth, the
referee would manage to find one of
Moths toes outside of the canvas and
then compel the Turk to let go his hold.
In the first bout the Turk took Moth into
his arms and laid him Town in the swift
time of $50 minutes. Then they rested
ten minutes. When they resumed, they
spared for holds, the turk killing time
for the benefit of the crowd by pushing
Moth around the mat. Finally the Turk
grabbed Moth, who vas as a baby in his
hands, laid him down on the mat and
sat on him to keep him there. He kept
him there for O ten seconds Then
he took a fair lock to throw him with,
when Moth called Upon him to quit. The
referee decided that it was a fall. Moth,
however, claimed a foul, n insisted that
the Turk was twisting his leg n goug-
ing his ribs with his head. Moth, how
ever, refused to go on, and the match
was awarded to the Turk.
The Turk offered to throw Moth at any
time in n minute or thirty times in
sixty minutes. Moth is now endeavoring
to arrange a Graeco-Roman style match
for $500 a side with the Turk.

melee, were in police court this morning.
Flankey who championed Dewey, act
ing upon the theory that his cause was
just, indignantly entered a plea of not
guilty. Martin and MatsOn pleaded guilty

GLIMPSE AT STORE LIFE.
It Posxesses Some Fsatares Similar to Those of g Small Conn
 TIuEity.

E'It would surprise an outsider to know how much a great retail store re- semi bIes a town, remarked a clerk in such an establishment, portsthe New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tt has all the familiar characters of a small com muniiy and all of its gossip, it's circles and iuner circles, and i;s class Gistinc
 tions. In a modern department house you will find certain social leaders and their regulation system Of satellites. all fully developed. There Will be one group hat goes in for frivolity, and an other group that goes in fer literature and art. and people who are plotting and scheming 10 get into this set or that. just as they do in the outer world. It is very quaint and amusing. One en- ploye will have a great reputation as wit and another is spoken Of as a re- markable musical genius; certain sec tiops of the establishment will be re- garGed as aristocratic, while others are looked upon as rather plebeian. In short. the store is q little municipality within itself. and it's people are curious ly isolated from the outside public. They revoIve in their own particular orbits, the gossip that flies about the place deals with the people inside it's walls. and they care very little for any other news. Their feeling toward an- other establishment is good deal like the feeling between two rival towns, and the other folks in the city are all more or less aliens and outlanders. It's a very curious life, and has to be seen from the inside to be fully understood. Zola tried to paint it in one of his nov els, but he missed it by miles,"
 A little Dewey enthusiasm will be Q pleasant contrast to the chemical beef agitation which has prevailed.

His majesty observed that the tlcral tributes offered by high person. ages in all Europe. and indeed in all the world. had fallen into decay.
