The Argument of Monopolists.

There is not much chance that the
tariff will be revised at the session OF
congress that ends as soon as the 4th
of March next. The opinion of the
majority of Republican congressman
seems to be that during time OF
prosperity 1t would not do to NEEDLE
with the tariff. And, of course, 1t
would never do at all when times are
hard. That is when the tariff is ex'
pected to bring the country out of the
soup. And there you are.

The Proposed Tax on water"

Mr. Hepburn has in his desk bill
imposing an internal revenue tax upon
all the capital stock of corporations
which does not represent actual value.
We may doubt whether such tax can
be levied constitutionally, corpora
lions being the creation of state au-
tbority. But the experience is well
worth trying. A tax on water" if it
were made sufficiently heavy, would
utterly blot out the majority of the
trusts and it would practically abolish

Primary School Exhi-
bitiOn.

The concert given by the pupils
of the Primary School at Falk' S
Opera House on Friday night oi
last week, for the purpose Of rails
ing money to buy desks, proved
to be most entertaining affair
The children all acquitted them
selves we'll and reflected great
credit upon themselves and their
teachers, Misses Holmes, Mouton
and Bagnal who have so carefully
and thoroughly drilled them.
The exhibition was quite a sur
prise to all who attended, as
they hardly expected such a mer-
itorious performance. While
every part OF the program was ex-
ceedingly good, nevertheless the
military drill deserves especial
mention. The soldierly bearing
and perfect movement of these
young children would have been
creditable to much older and lar
ger pupils.
From this splendid showing
made by our Primary Scho ol the
people may justly take pride, and
feel greatly encouraged to do lar
ger and better things for our pub
lie schools in the future than they
have done in the past.

two hours, the jury returned
unanimous verdict Of guilty.
