This multiplicity OF bills and reSO-
iutions does not scare anybcdy. There
is no change in the situation" he de-
clared. 'At the commencement of the
session the ways and means commit
tee determined that there should be
no tariff revision at this session.

AT the commencement OF the ses-
sion the ways and means committee
determined that there should be no
tariff revision at this session. Nothing
has occurred to change that decision
and it stands But what has become
of the house of representatives? Has
it, under the Republican party, ceased
to possess the power delegated to 1t?
Is mere committee to issue DEGREES
such as Mr.. Dalzell describes?

"REsT AND PEACE AND REAS.
SURANCE."

In a letter addressed to the New
York World Grover Cleveland OF
Princeton, n. J., said:
Our people need rest and peace and
reinsurance; and it will be quite in
line with true Democracy and success
full policy to impress upon our fellow
countrymen the fact that Democracy
stands for those things
Yes, rest and peace and reassur-
ance! And for all of that Democracy
stands
But that does not mean reinsurance
to the men who manipulate the money
of insurance policyholders or the
wealth in the public treasury 1t does
not mean that they are to enjoy rest
and peace so long as they persist in
their evil practices. 1t does not mean
that the American people are to be
asked to close their eyes to these in
iquities or, through an appeal to a
false conservatism, grant immunity
to those who cOnspire against the
public welfare.

Milwaukee. - Being a detective

Milwaukee is the only exponent of

This detective is the general super
intendent of the Citizens Detective
agency of Milwaukee. He was retained
by psychical research society to
serve as an investigator Of spiritualis-

of ordinary dishonesty. so this super

near Chicago of the alleged interpreta-

mysterious case has been under the
observation of men like Prof William
James and Sir Oliver Lodge for many
years past, this superintendent was
found to be thoroughly enthusiastic
