are preparing to greatly improve their
Cresco telephone Service by putting
in about 5000 feet of cable, so that
instead of the poles now covered with
wires will carry only the single cable
and as that can be securely fastened
they can bid defiance to sleet storms
and high winds.

James Byrne was awakened Monday
night by noise presumably caused
by the explosion of bottle of turpen-
tine laying among some oil saturated
rags which had beer used for polish
ing the wood work and then thrown
in closet. He eXtinguished the fire
without calling assistance but not
before quite a little damage had been
done. 1t was a close call for his fine
new house.
Secretary Gage is having lots of
trouble about refunding the Porto
Rico tariff collected prior to the pas
sage of the Foraker act. If the pay
ment was to be made to those who
suffered from its collection his troub-
les would be a thousand times increas-
ed. The importers paid the tariff un-
der protest, added to it the cost of the
goods and sold them with the tariff
added to the price, and the consumers
Of the goods were the real sufferers,
and are the ones to whom the money
should be paid. But under our system
the millions given to the importers
under the ruling is gratuity of the
entire sum to few millionaireimpor-
terS who have been fully paid by the
persons using and consuming the
goods. A few years ago similar gra-
tuity was paid to- Philadelphia i'm
porter who had added the illegal tariff
charges to the price of the goods he
had sold to retail dealers with that
charge added, and they to their Gus
toners who were the only real suffer-
ers. But the tariff money illegally
collected, was paid to the men who
had already been paid by the mer-
chant who had bought the goods with
the tariff charges added to the origi-
nal cost. The protected infant in each
case is a lusty millionaire to whom
the money comes as gratuity.
