Evading the Tariff by Mail.

The actual schedule of rates is very
important in the Tariff. but greater
stress than is generally attached
should be laid upon the administra-
tive features, which until lately have
not been appreciated by the indus
trials. Even during the present hearing
few producers were prepared to tell
how the enforcement of the law was
evaded,and although ii had been APP
parent that undertaking or some meth
cd that permitted illegal entry OF
goods was in force, there was little
said about how such practice obtain
ed. A serious fraud was brought out
in the silk industry. or more proper
ly an allied industry, in the illegal
importation of design cards for the
jacquard process. These cards are
the work of high class artists, as they
are designs that are followed in man
ufacturing high grade silks. To pro-
duce them in this country is very
expensive because of the high wages
paid 10 this class of artisans, as an
initial cost. and the added expense
of reproducing the designs for prac-
teal use. In Germany the reproduc-
ing is done by boys and cheap labor
while here it is onlypossible TO EN-
ploy regularly experienced men. The
duty upon this class of goods is suf-
ficient 10 equalize the difference in
cost of producing between here and

is estimated, however. that out of
importations amounting to about $780,
900 only 10 per cent. has paid duty,
the rest being struggled through the
mails. II is possible TO mail these
designs without question in large mum

How? Simply by catching them

cred nothing-a monarch stripped o
the most precious attribute of his SOW
ereignty-the voiceless rooster would
play his brief pantomimic part, pitied
by man and scoffed at by every self
re pecting hen.
/ But unless thee world has gone mad

with us. His voice has place in tho

A justice of the supreme court of the
ltate has publicly accused the police
force of New York city of arbitrary
and illegal abuse of police powers, and
called them so severely to account
that their methods are now under in
vestigation by the mayor. If there is
anything inexcusable in a government
like this it is the disregard of personal
liberty and constitutional rights by the
very forces created by the law to pro-
tect that liberty and enforce those
rights, says the Baltimore American.
Unfortunately, there is too much ig-
norance, both by public officials of the
limit of their powers and by citizens
of their own legal rights. More under
standing of the one and assertion OF
the other vastly improve the situa-
ton.

SHOOTING STRAY DOGS.

The reports of the opening of the
dog-killing season in several cities are
replete with brutality. The police
men shoot at all the prescribed ca
mines, and in missing them, which is
oftener the case than not, they are
apt to destroy the lives of men, wom-
en- and children, who may happen to
be within pistol range. II the bullet
Sits the dog at all, it probably wounds
the poor brute, and makes an other
wise safe and sane dog a writhing,
foaming creature, mad from fear and
pain, and scattering alarm and dis
gust wherever it may run or drag its
tortured body, says the Washington
Post. Even when the policeman is
marksman enough to dispatch the dog
without suffering or scattering bull
let's among pedestrians, the killing is
offensive to the sight of every human
being with a spark of feeling and is
bTutaliZing to impressionable children.
In the midst of the heat and semi
hysteria which may be expected from
the dogs and dog days, Washington is
to be congratulated thus far in not
resorting to the pistol for the removal
of friendless and homeless dogs. What
ever crusade may be necessary to re-
assure the nervous and protect the
people from unlicensed or otherwise
outlawed dogs, let there be no turning
to the policeman's pistol as a means
of mending the situation.

and every day brings new methods for
the fighting of the plague. The Ma

things in particular are needed, and
for these the National association is
