DE M OCRATS ARE
 READY FOR FIGHT

Washington, March 13-(Special )--Dem- their armor in readiness for the new tariff bill, which the republicans will bring in next week.
 They don't know yet what it is. They know they are against it on general principles. When they see the bill they will be able to state more definitely their own position.
 The committee ways and means that is to say, the republican members of the committee-have been working in executive session for several weeks on the schedules Next Wednesday they will call in the democrats of the committee and say:
 Gentlemen, here is little bill in be- half of which we invited your support. Hope you can see your way clear to fa- voring this bill," words to that effect
 Then the democrats will express sur
 prise.
 "What?' they will say; ''has all this
 been going on and we not know it?'' A vote will be taken. Chairman Payne, with sorrowing voice, will say he reckons the majority of the committee favors the bill. Thereupon the democrats will bring in a minority report, pointing out the iniquities of the measure and recom- mending the way to revise the tariff after democratic fashion. The democrats have intimated. their op- position to taxing coffee and beer. They think that ii the bill is not capable of producing sufficient revenue there should be provision for an inheritance tax. They don't want to tax the poor man S coffee pot, neither his 'growler can. Go after those swollen fortunes, they say and take a slice Of them before they are handed down to spendthrift genera tions to waste in buying foreign titles for the girls and steam yachts for the boys"
 And that sentiment. it is added, is likely to find response in some repub- lican bosoms.

The bridges are all in good shape, except a few small ones in the lower end of the county, which washed away. Water was higher in the county yesterday than it has been in several years.

 President Going said that just as soon as it clears off every section overseer will renew unusual activities to put every foot of the macadam road into perfect shape.
