THAT TARIFF COMMISSION.

Every once in while we hear that a
tariff commission is going to be appointed.
Let no one be deceived. A tariff com
mission is only part Of the effort to pre-
vent revision Of the tariff. Whenever
the people get ready to act, they are
sagely informed that the subjec is so IN
hicate that it must be submitted to a
commission Of experts. The first advan-
tase Of this policy is that it secures delay.
Instead Of having tariff reform at once,
we have the promise that it may be re-
formed after awhile. The commission is
usually made up Of persons who are
friends Of the tariff and who object to re-
vision. They take evidence, and the
taking Of evidence occupies time. This
enables the protected interest to continue
the collection Of taxes for an indefinite
period. Of course the commission must
take time for elaboration after the evi-
dence is all in, and then it must take
more time for the preparation of its re-
port, and if the report can be delayed
until congress adjoums, further time must
lapse before the matter can be taken up
in congress. Then the recommendation
OF the commission can be used as an az
gument against any further reduction
than the commission recommends, and
the representatives Of protected industry
can ignore any recommendations made.
1t does not help either to have the COM
mission made up Of both sides Of the
question, for the majority will be on the
side Of the high tariff. and it is likely to
prolong the investigation to have both
sides taking testimony. When the ques-
hon finally comes before congress, each
representative and senator will act upon
MS own judgment-or by the mouth
piece Of the manufacturers of his district
without regard to the recommendations
IF the commission-and tariff commit
ion means delay Of from two to four
years in the consideration Of the question
without any advantage whatever in the
lnal settlement, and all this time the
manufacturers have the benefit Of the
chedules against which the. people COM
'lain. No wonder the tariff commission |
dea is brought forward every time the
'eople threaten an attack on the tariff |

General Funston Says Sentiment Is
 Against the Federation.
 Goldfleld, New, Dec. 14.-"The situa- ton in Goldfield is much worse than expected to find it," said Brigadier General Funston. General Funston has interviewed nearly 100 citizens, including representatives of both the mine operators and the Western Fed Sration of Miners. He sent volumi- nous report, in cipher, to Washington, in which the contentious of both par ties to the controversy are fully set forth, as well as the opinions of large number of citizens.
 II do not think there will be any se- rious trouble as long as the troops remain" said General Funston, and believe we will keep at least two companies here all winter. There is no question that the general sentiment of the community is against the West ern federation and in favor of the re- tention of the troops" Two of the mines were opened today, and the be- lief is general that the miners are beaten.

A young man of your obvious histrionic talent ought fairly to glitter in q part like that, and besides, it will give you a chance to do the de- voted to your ladylove.

 Mir. Van der Awe flushed, drew him self up and folded his arms in a strik- ingly dramatic pose.

 This was another one. Was every body lying in wait for him this morn ing: Could he have speech with all the world but her:

 ''DazZIng'
 Then it's settled. I'm so glad. Come on and let's dig up more roots."
 Miss Imogene Chittendon proceeded to pick wild flowers. Mir. Richard Will Hams carried them in the four ounce basket and communed with himself. Denunciation at the present speaking was rather a sore subject with him and coming from the lips of the girl he worshiped in a one act play in which flesh and blood could stand. It had too definite a relation to his present cir cumstances to be comfortable. On the whole. he decided to get out of that play If he could. He did not want Harriet denouncing him, even in fun. She might have to do it in earnest later, and he did not wish her to have the advantage of a previous rehearsal. but he wanted to see her alone, to talk with her as a kind of relief from the troubles that were gathering around him in uncomfortable, sticky coils. But at every turn his innocent purpose was frustrated, and he found himself In the clutches of some one else, an h. QuiSitor like Michael COrrigan, chat terbOX like Miss Chittendon.
 He was not so occupied with his thoughts. however, as to forget plains mans training. and during the latter half hour of his wild flower hunt he was conscious of spy upon his trail. He had turned at some remark of his companion and had chanced to see a figure that lodged swiftly behind a powder some fifty yards away He had paid no special heed to the oc- currence. But when 1t was repeated twice he became convinced that some one was watching them-why. he could not imagine. AS they neared Restmore Richard wheeled suddenly and spied the figure crouching along a boxwood hedge. It seemed very strange af- fair, and he determined to get to the bottom of it. So, eXcusing himself on the steps of the veranda. he made a circuit of the house. cut across the rose garden and vaulted a fence into the road.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear.
The is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by and in
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustacian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube resorted to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
