The east is furnishing a whole lot
of sensational episodes at the pre-
sent time in which man and woman
figure. The moral tone of the east
needs something of an overhauling to
relieve the strain which is put upon
the people. The last to startle the
country is the Eastman-Woodhill
scandal, which ended quickly enough
when Eastman committed suicide.
The mystery surrounding the murder
OF Elsie sigel is practically cleared
up, although 1t cannot be positively
stated that the murderer has been
caught. The past seems to be pretty
we'll impregnated with social upheav-
ais and 1t is wondered how long 1t will
be before another is brought to the

a WORD FROM THE SENATOR.

some Of the illusions that he is tied
up with Aldrich when he took such q
strong position to prevent the in
crease Of duty on scrap iron from SO
cents q ton to $3.50. The senator al
- explains his position on the wool
schedule. claiming that he voted the
way he did to avoid a repetition of
the wooden trouble under the Wilson
bill OF 1884.
This ID what the correspondent
says with reference to Senator Craw-
ford's attitude Of the tarin on paper.
"As to the rate fixed by the A.
nance committee on print paper, ac-
cording to Senator Crawford's view
N given to your correspondent, that
matter Is entirely different from the
Impression that has been created. The
senator is emphatically in favor of
both free pulp wood and free wood
pulp, which are used by the paper
mills in Wisconsin and along the
Canadian border in New York and in
New England in the manufacture of
cheap print paper. These mills i'm
port from Canada the wood pulp and
pulp wood used in the manufacture
of this cheap print paper and Of
course the senator stands upon the
platform of the republican party in
8outh Dakota in favor of free wood
pulp and free pulp wood. His vote
which has been referred to, was not
cast upon this question at all, be-
cause It has not yet come up for a
vote. The only vote so far which he
has cast upon the subject relates to
the print paper itself, which these
American paper mills in Wisconsin,
New York and New England manu-
zfacture. The Dingley rate on this
print paper is Sc a ton. The House
Till proposes to reduce 1t to 81 a
ton and the Senate finance committee
reported IN favor Of fixing It at 81
ton. When the matter was up for
debate Senator LaFollette stated that
paper mills In Wisconsin could
lot continue to manufacture print
1aper. Il the duty was reduced to 81
g Ton, but would be compelled to at
once abandon its manufacture and II
s6uch rate we're enforced immediate
lylit would put them out OF business.
He favored retaining a duty Of -
ton until 1912 to enable them to
pradually go out of business Of man
a~facturing print paper. The only
difference between his position and
that OF Senator Crawford was that
TIE latter favored fixing the duty at
"a . ton without putting q limit upon
the time 60 as to enable these mills

Daper upon the American side as long
