Washington Star Sees Action 70 FsL
low the Election.

While nothing win be done during
the campaign under the two tariff res.
olutions adopted by congress the &C.
ton taken Is good thing. declares
the Washington Star. 1t confirms to
the country the attitude of the party
In power on the tariff question, and II
notice to the business world, even in
advance of the deliverances OF the two
national conventions. that revision Is
at last on the way
There will be plenty OF time after
the campaign closes and before the
new congress meets in extra session
for the collection and classification of
all the data necessary in the premises.
The senate finance committee win be
assisted by experts selected by itself,
while the ways and means committee
will. II 1t 50 desires. turn in any avail
able quarter for information needed.
Everything now is plain enough, so
far as the general proposition is con-
cerned. The Dingley law, having
served the purposes OF its enactment.
Is to be overhauled in the interests OF
a fairer adjustment OF rates. BY
whom shall the work be done? BY
those who believe in the spirit Of the
law and would preserve it in the new
legislation, or by those who opposed
the law when enacted. on the score
that it's spirit was bad, and who
would eliminate that spirit from the
economic policy Of the government?
Mr.. Payne says-and speaks for his
party IN the statement-that the new
law should be founded on protection.
In word, the Dingley law must be
brought up to date. Just as the policy
of protection was followed in framing
law for the conditions that existed
In 1897, 1t must be followed in the
framing of a new law to meet the con.
ditions that next year will confront US.
Whether the times are bad or good, q
protective tariff Is necessary to the
well being of this country.
On the other hand, the Democratic
contention is that protection as dis
tinct object is an evil. 1t is charac.
teriZed as the mother of trusts, and
the source or all our woes. We should
renounce it by formal declaration, we
are told, and proceed by liberal de-
grees to get rid of it altogether by
legislation. AS rapidly as possible, all
tariff duties should be laid on the low.
est lines, and the country brought to
the basis of tariff for revenue only.
What say the people? The vote in
November viii turn largely on this
issue.

SHORT SLEEVES LOSING VOGUE.
Partisan Modistes Declare for Change
in Fashion.

AS usual. sleeves are of prime i'm
portance in the warm weather ward
robe, says Mrs. Osborn in the De-
Iineator. More than any other de-
tail of the toilet they betray the ex-
act date of its creation. "A gown is
as old as its sleeve" is an axiom of
the dressmaking profession.
In Paris the short sleeve is already
passe. The American woman, however.
will not drop 1t abruptly for the long
sleeve. She will be inclined to tenn
porize on account of the heat of our
long summer, but by autumn it is a
certainty that the short sleeve will
have been laid to rest
One of the best examples of the
typical small sleeve is used in the
tailleur. 1t is full length, of course.
close fitting and with no perceptible
fulness at the armhole. An excellent
phase of it is illustrated in the cos
tune OF shantung in the shade called
ashes OF violets." The little coat
has square scanned position back
and deep V-shaped closing in the
front that is caught to one side with
darker tone chou of silk, plated and
ruched into a clever semblance of a
double violet.
The sleeve IL most interesting and
unusual, for II has but one seam, and
that on the outside of the arm. The
sleeve buttons from the elbow to the
wrist with bias line of great button
holes bound in cloth. and small round
cloth-covered buttons. The armhole
Of the coat is turned under and piped
so that the seam is as fat as possible.

Ruskin, 1t is said, has written more
sentences Of inordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison
some years ago counted the words in
number Of typical sentences, finding
that in the earlier books it was no I'm.
common thing for Ruskin to run
beyond the page before permitting
himself and his readers the relief OF a
full stop. But in every case the sense
rs clear as day. Wordsworth's poem
on the Character of the Happy War
rior' is notable example of sustained
connections. Apart from the opening
and closing couplets. the poem con-
sists OF two very long compound SEN
fences almost entirely comprised of
adjectival clauses. The longer of the
two sentences contains 81 decasyllabic
lines. This is probably a record in
English verse.

NEW THEORY AS TO LAW.
Method That Does Not Seem to Work
as Well as the Old.

Mr. Bryan, being the Democratic
candidate for defeat, ratified by the
Republican preference of him in that
capacity, his ideas upon such a sub
ject as the currency at this time are
important. They seem similar to those
of Mr.. Roosevelt regarding the anti
trust law, that is, that our currency
laws are bad, but that they should be
enforced. Thus, in his colloquy with
President Forgan at the Chicago dim
ner.as reported in various papers, he
declared that certain National bank Off.
Gals ought to be sent to jail, although,
I'll the law had been enforced in New
York during the panic, the panic
would have been a great deal worse"
That is the new fashion in Iegisla-
ton. The old theory used to be that
the laws embodied the best practice OF
the commercial community. The new
theory is that the commercial commu-
nifty. at its peril. shall adjust itself to
the happy thoughts OF the legislators.
1t is within the record that the new
method does not work as well as the
old. In fact, It hardly works at all. AL
most nobody goes to Jail. and almost
no impression is made upon CONNER
cial practices which are sustained by
public opinion and good merchant Gus
tom. The chief fact is that the law is
brought into disrepute and loses its
sanction as standard OF good prac-
tice.
1t is obvious that II in fact the law
was capable of producing an alteration

practice we should have easy and fire.

The embarrassment of the under.

FIRST BRIBE SINCE

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb. r.
(Special)-The first case of attempted
bribery of a public official since the
Schmitz regime ended came to light,
when Carl E. Ritter, saloonkeeper,
near the Preside, offered $500 to Po-
lice Commissioner Cutter to continue
his liquor license An order was is
sued recently to cancel the liquor Ii
censes of all the saloons near the
entrance to the Preside, because of
complaints of disorders by drunken
soldiers
Ritter keeps one of these saloons,
and after comforting with friends de-
cided that the chairman of the Police
Commission could be fixed" in the old
way that prevailed Under Schmitz and
Ruef. So he saw Cutter and calmly
offered him a bride Cutter arrang-
ed for one of his clerks to serve as
a concealed witness, accepted the
money and then caused Ritter's ar
rest. The remarkable feature of the
case is that Ritter is an educated
German, who turned to the saloon
business as a last resort, after max
ing failure in his profession OF
teaching. His saloon was closed dur
ing the Schmitz administration, be-
cause he refused to give bride to
Schmitz and Ruef. Now, in despair
he says, he resorted to bribery, wher

Intellectual women of the East

The crusade against that exclusion

New York, chief among whom is
Mrs. Borrman Wells. This lady is
