result o. the notification % Confrac-
tors Lewis q Wiley that. due Ia
the fact that there was no apparent
manner Of their receiving pay for
their work, they would stop opera,

Thomson Explains.
At the conference today Mr..
Thomson explained that this con-
dition was due 10 the fact that tho
supreme court OF the state had held
Invalid the bond issue OF s4s4 coo,
under which the work was begun.
and that q proposed bond issue tn
take care Of the warrants Issued In
payment Tor the work had been De-
ieated. This left the city without
any means Of meeting the warrants.
Work has progressed on the re-
grade and money paid PRIOR 10 tho
present condition Of affairs 10 the
extent that there nov remains an
approximate deficit Of 5000 900. and
II was impossible 20 determine on
any plan by which this money might
be raised. There was talk Of new

supreme court. by which there IL
a chance of raising approximately
$4,000 This Is an application
with the purpose Of making valid
that part Of the original assessment
agreed upon by the abuttlng prop
erty owners. The final assess
ment as made by the council upon
the final estimates Of the cost of
the work exceeded this original as
sessment agreed upon by some s. a
front foot. II this modification ls
made the si3i.o 600 can be raised,
leaving comparatively small
deficit. but this Is very uncertain
and In any event the work must
cease on the regrade for several
months with possibility OF the

Business interests are demanding early action upon the tariff question, declaring that uncertainty is holding industrial revival back, which is ap- parently true. But the Senate has mo previous question and no com- mittee on Rules clothed with arbitrary power to limit debate, and thus the Senators can talk themselves out" It seemingly matters little to them that business men say in effect, Let the Dingley law live under a new name, and get to business" That is, busi- ness interests would prefer the contin- uance of the Dingley tariff over con- tinued uncertainty. Senators are talk ing interminedly. not with any expec- but solely to reach and influence their constituents. It is wholly unneces- sary, for their constituents will judge them by their votes and not by their words, and are much better posted on the tariff question than ever before.
 They will be judged by their com pliance or noncompliance with their party platform, with, on the Republi- can side, regard also to the ntterances of President Taft, who, on Dec. 16th last. said:
 s'Unless we act in accordance with our promises, or if we only keep the word of promise to the ear and break 1t to the hope, we shall be made ac- countable to the American people and suffer such consequences as failure to keep faith has always been visited with It would be better to have no revision at all unless we are going honestly and fairly to revise the tariff on the basis promised by our party"
 The Senate is not revising the tariff in accordance with the Presidents warning, but in almost exact opposi- ton to its gist- If something does not drop at the next election, President Taft cannot be classed as a prophet.

Life Imprisonment for Boyle, kidnap- per of the Whitla boy, and 25 years im- prisonment with s5.000 fine for Mrs. Boyle, illustrates Pennsylvania jus tice. That state is the most advanced of all in the matter of child kidnap- ping, and furnishes a most commend able example for other states. Life Imprisonment is not too severe; many parents hold that death should be the penalty, and when the demand for ransom is accompanied by threats of murder, it is most assuredly not too severe.
