The Republicans in the First Branch
still propose to continue their tactics as
obstructionists, refusing, evidently, to
abide by the decision of Judge Hervey.
Last night they defeated the usual sup
Elemental appropriation ordinance be-
cause the Democrats in accordance with
Judge Hervey's decision amended it so
as to provide only Tor the payment Of
salaries to the newly elected department
officials. Owing to this partisan action
the city will be without funds for this
purpose during the month of June, and
consequently the city employees will go
without pay during that time unless
the supplemental ordinance is passed in
the meantime. Evidently our Republi-
can friends in Council are unable to ac-
cept their defeat in court with a good
grace, and take this method of crafty
ing a petty spite. 1t is childish business
and entirely discreditable to them.

form, dull of eye, languid of movement,
and he realizes that these were but a
few years ago as bright and happy as
their younger fellow-workers. 1t is
steal change, which is not TO be ex-
planned by the stress and strain of daily
labor, because they are not a few who,
in spite of years of steady work, retain
the girlish attractiveness of face and
figure. Perhaps the most important
cause of this change Is to be found in
the prevalence of ailments peculiarly
femme, which drain the vitality and
sap the strength. If the truth were
known it would be found that these
worn-out ONE had been working UNI
der physical conditions, which, il a man
suffered them would be enough to send

The wind Was blowing great guns,
and about the Masonic Temple it was
getting in double work. The girl came
down Washington street toward State,
holding to her hat with both hands.
and the man rounded the corner of the
Temple with his head lowered to face
the gale. Naturally they ran squarely
into each other.
The wind whipped the long skirt OF

"let me go!"
Let you go." she repeated indignant
". When | can't get away from you,"
Neither can /" roared the anguished
man. The skirt held him and the wind
held her, defying her struggles. Her
hat was over her eyes. binding her to
the real situation, and the man was so
terrified at the upheard of state of
thugs that lurking suspicious of fem
inine foctpads ruled him. Just as he
was ready to strike out with his firm
right fist and the young woman was
meditating attacking him with a steel
0hatpin, a handy policeman saw the
trouble and rescued them from each
other.
The girl blew west and the mar blew
east, and the policeman was the only
one who appeared to enjoy the Joke.

HAD NEVER HEARD A BAND.

Mrs. Elizabeth Crawford, Of near
Frizzellesburg, who has just died at the
age of 80. had the unique record of hav-
ing seen less of the world than prob
ably any other American woman.
She saw a railroad track nor a
train of cars, never entered a church or
ever heard the music of a band. In
fact, this singular woman never cared
to go beyond the sight of the smoke Of
her own chimney.
Neighbors say she was p1ous, and
seemed to believe in contentment.
Neither ill-health nor lack of means
prevented her from seeing things, but
she stayed at home simply to crafty
a desire to have lived a singular life.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

In the Quarterly Journal of Econom-
lies, Mr.. Charles Beardsley has an ar
ticle on the tariff and trusts, in which
he agrees with Mr.. Havemeyer, of the
Sugar Trust, that the tariff is the
mother of trusts. Mr.. Beardsley holds
that the passage of the Mckinley tariff
of 1890 was the first great incentive
to the organization of combinations for
suppressing competition. The Standard
Oil Trust, which was formed before that
time, did not depend on any tariff,
since it had a natural monopoly.
Soon after the passage of the McKin-
ley act, sugar, starch, linseed oil, lead,
whiskey, tobacco and envelopes were, as
protected articles, favored for purposes
of monopoly. So fast have combines
formed since that time that trust pro-
moters form a distinct class of business
men. Although Mr.. Beardsley believes
THAT the movement is a natural one he
does not think that Congress should
help them by protective legislation. He
contends rightly that products which
can be produced at home as cheaply as
abroad should not be protected at the
expense of the home The
tariff protected trusts Are now charging
American consumers two and three
times as mudh as they are charging for
eigners in foreign markets after the
ocean freights and tariffs are paid. 1t
stands to reason, therefore, that Euro
pean manufacturers cannot hope to I'M
dersell them in the American market,
and that therefore, our high protective
tariff is simply SO much gratuitous
bonus to the trusts.
Mr.. B~eardsley points out that lower
ing the tariff can be accomplished with
out acting in a spirit of revenge. Abuses
may be corrected, That this will have
to be done. and right soon, politicians
in every party acknowledge.
Congressman Babcock has opened the
campaign inside of the Republican
party, but there is no chance of reform
coming from that organization which
is absolutely owned by the trusts. Only
to the Democratic party may the people
look for relief.
And meanwhile. il this relief does not
soon come we may find ourselves in
volved in a tariff war with Europe that
may shut us out of all European mar
kets, which would be a disaster, in
deed.
