WILL S|DESTEP
TARIFF REVISION
John Sharp Williams Skeptical
Of the Republican
Promises.
HOPEFUL Of THE FUTURE
Democratic Leader Of Lower House
Says Party Will Not Disintegrate
Because Of Defea's-May
Be Reductions.

Washington, Nov. Hon. John
Sharp Williams does not take a pes
simistic view CT the future of the
democratic party on account of the
defeat of Bryan and Kern While
here en- route from the east he scott
ed at the idea that the party would
disintegrate. He pointed out that
even while not in control of the
national government for twelve years
ii has in that time rendered the
country invaluable service in check
ing and holding back the republi-
can party in its tendencies of dan
gerous excesses. Mr.. Williams thinks
that if the democratic party should
continue indefinitely as the minority
party the nation will owe it great
debt of gratitude for its performances
as check on the republican party in
its desire Decentralization. Mr., Will
liams expressed himself as being eX-
lemely skepfical of the proposed re-
viSion.of the tariff schedules by the
republicans He thinks it will be the
same old dodge of a revision of the
schedules by the friends and benefi-
Charles of the protective system with
the public coming out at the little
end of the horn. There may be re-
duction, he thinks. of the tariff on
print paper and lumber. According
to the formal announcement which
he made before the adjournment of
the last session of congress, Mr.. VIII
liams will not be the democratic lead
,er at the coming session. Indications
are that the minority will elect
Champ Clark of Missouri to succeed
MT Williams.

needed article all In one lump, an an.
nouncement just made by the Gately
Co.. Nos. 70 and rs Michigan.ave.
must come as bit OF cheering news.
In view OF the liberal terms now be-
ing offered by this establishment there
Is really no excuse for anyone going

are OF almost daily occurrence.
The proposition IL simply this: On
the payment Of 81 you can secure any

at the rate Of 81 per week, 81 every
two weeks or IS per month, just as 1t
suits your convenience. That Is, IL
you are paid weekly, you would prob.

the monthly payment plan. II is Inn
material TO the company. The first
consideration Is the customers con-
venience.
Ordinarily, the Gately Co.'s terms
are one-third down and the balance at
81 per week, but In view Of the exist

BISHOP DOANE ON
/. PARL0R GAMBLING

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 7.--Rt. Rev
William Crosswell Doane. bishop o
the Albany Episcopal diocese, has sen
letter to the clergy of his diocese II
which he takes up the question OF an
TRACE track gambling legislation. Tn'
letter in part follows:
The governor of New York in
his address on the anti-race track
gambling question, touched the
sin and wrong OF gambling.
II is not our way and | hope IL
never will be to use the pulpit or
the Episcopal church for dealing
I'm detail with questions OF legisla-
tive enactments. But there seems
to me aH opportunity offered here
which am disposed to ask the
clergy to deal with, OF pointing out
the sin and wrong which underlie
this whole question.
Disguised undo innumerable
forms, some seemln ly innocent
and harmless, the passion for
gambling is tolerated and INDUCED
in for private amusement and In
public entertainments, with an APP
parent dullness OF conscience IA
to its sin, which is alarming.
Wherever 1t is done, in pool rooms
or In parlors. on the track or in
public entertainments for charity.
ii is essentially wicked and full OF
evil consequences. and the reasons
are plain to see and easy TO find.
Its root is the deadly sin OF covet-
ousness-'the desire 10 get some
thing for nothing
Three more bills aimed al gambling
were introduced in the assembly.
