CURTIS On THE TARIFF.

William E. Curtis writee in the
Chicago Record Herald an article
upon the new tariff law which is of
special interest as coming from a
nonpartisan and independent source.
He says that the new law is un-
doubtedly the most consistent aud
scientific tariff law that has ever
been enacted, and that the more it
is examined the more evidence is
discovered 'that the revision is
downward and not upward. :" The
customs official experts are making a
thorough analysis of tue bill and
1.-THE net result of the revision will
soon be known.
The position of Mr.. Curtis, who
writes as an independent to an in
dependent paper. substantiates the
position of the resident and the
republican party.
The agitation against the law is
being kept alive by men who have
political axes TO grind and by their
organs. The best interest of the
country demand that the law be given
a chance to show whether it is mere
make shift and will prove to De a
burden to the country Milwaukee

In announcing its decision the
Washington court makes the follow
ing statement, which must be
recognized as fair and just: ''If an
organization of citizens, however
large. may disobey the mandates of
the court the same reasoning would
render them subject TO individual
defiance. Both are subject to the

extent he will obey the mandates OF

A provoking typographical error
occurred in an advertisement for the
Mabon Land Company, printed in
The Herald last week. In the body
OF the advertisement the statement
was made that G. e. Mcmahon, of
this city, was the company representa-
tive here, prepared to furnish detailed
information concerning the company's
land in North Dakota, or to accom-
pany any prospective purchasers and
show them the land. In reading the
proof of the advertisement the proof
reader thought that the type in which
Mr.. McMahon's name was set, should
be palmer and blacker, and marked
on the proof 'blacker. In the
hurry of the work of correcting errors
in the type, preparatory to getting the
paper ready for press. the printer mis-
understood the marking on the proof,
supposed the wrong name had been
used, and that the proof readers
meaning was TO insert the mamie
Blocker instead of Mcmahon. He
changed it in accord with such under
standing, and after the entire edition
had been printed the editor was cha
grined to notice that the advertise
ment read: s'Call on Mr.. Blocker
etc. The corrected announcement. as
it was intended to read, will be found
upon the 5th page of today's Herald.
1t is a we'll known fact among all
editors that no matter how much care
may be exercised in proof reading
several columns of type in the busy
hours preceding the time of getting u
newspaper ready for the press, one or
more little errors in the arrangement
of letters will be overlooked and
passed by, either by proof reader or
printer, and the next day, when the
same columns of type are scanned by
the editor. those same little typo
graphical errors will stare him plain
ly In the face. ana each little type
comprising the error will stand out
and look about as large as silver
dollar.

Farmers in Wisconsin are rejoicing
this year over almost unprecedented
prosperity in their business. Prices
of nearly everything they produce are
remarkably high and the yield and
quality unusually good. Hogs and
cattle. which comprise an important
part of the income of farmers in this
part of the state are priced to bring
an excellent profit. while in both
yield and price crops of every kind
except tobacco and tame hay are
higher than last year, according to
the annual report just issued by
Secretary John M. True. of the state
board of agriculture. Only a few
days ago in the Chicago market a
string OF SO prime beeves were SOLD at
the Union stock yards at So to SO. 10
per cwt., while about half of
the beef steers on the market sold for
So 90 or better. many landing at So
to So. co. At the same time hogs
held with little f1uctuatiOn at about
So. These things are mighty fine
for the farmer and stock raiser, but
everything that enters into living
expenses is so high as to be burden
some to all who instead of producing
have to buy.

WANTS STREET OPENED.

Sam Emler was present to ask that
a street leading to his property west
of the north school, be opened up.
This thorough fare, designated on the
plat as Monroe St. has been closed by a
gate at its upper end for many
years. Mr.. Emler stated that his
request that the obstruction be taken
down has been ignored by the owner
of the adjoining property and that
now the gate is even padIocked and
chained. The council after discus
sion of the legality of compelling
person to remove street distractions
decided to have the city attorney look
into the matter before taking any
further action.

SOUTH NORWALK POLICE
 MOSTLY IN BRIDGEPORT
Great Possibilities for Lawbreakers in
 Hating TOnw.

Yesterday was a good time for a crook to turn off a trick in South Nor walk had they only been tipped off that almost the entire force was in town yesterday Stestifying- the cases of Lodovico Giordano and James F. iLayden. both of whom have appealed to the Superior court from the decision of the County Commissioners in refus- ing to grant either a liquor license. The licenses were refused by the com Nmissioners on the ground that in and around the Washington street bridge the place was unsuitable and was not sufficiently policed. It was for this latter reason that almost the entire patrolling force was Subpoenaed.
 The question of saloons at the wash ington street bridge is one that has baffled the commissioners a number of times. A few years back there were a. number of thirst quenching estab- Hshments around the place in question, but now they have dwindled down to two, the two applicants. Years ago one Herman Malmo was refused li- to the Superior court, which sustained the commissioners. The case was then appealed to the Supreme court, which also sustained the appeal. The applicants are represented by Attor- neys J. B. Klein of this city and John J. Walsh of Norwalk. and the defense by Corporation Counsel William Tam many and Attorney J. B. Hurlburt, both of South Norwalk. The court reserved it's decision.

Especial from United Press.)

Birmingham. Mass, Oct. 2O.-"God only knows how many forgeries have been committed on notes against this town since Treasurer Lombard first obliged a friend We know now of $325, 900. The amount may reach three quarters of million. When this tangled affair is unravelled I predict that it's extent will startle the whole country"
 This prophecy, with the additional information that many of the forged notes. against Birmingham for which Former Town Treasurer John B. Lom- hard, c. s. Cummings and E. A. Mead Of the American Banking Company are out the west was made here today by one of the towns highest official That in the frauds already uncovered as well as those still to develop, John ,B. Lombard, the treasurer of Tram ingham, was but tool is the general opinion among the officials here and everything here to-day seems to indi- cate that the bank footing was the work of a gang of interruptions men who simply used Lombard as the means to an end. Trails leading to these men are already being explored and--it is likely that further arrests will be made. possibly before night.
 One of tO-day'S most remarkable de- velopments in the swindle is the evil dence coming to light that a SUD-

The woman is said to have been given Jewels, automobiles and such luxuries for several years by one of the men who are believed to be connected with the forgery and the district attorney is considering the wisdom of investi- gating this phase of the case. This woman, who has been a figure on the baulevards near here in high powered cars. at once went into se- CIuSlOn in her home here as soOp as Lombard's alleged forgeries became public property and all attempts to locate her have been futile. Visitors at her home have been told she is ill and cannot be seen. In his hour of trouble the wife of Lombard is stand ing Loyalty by his. side. When the treasurer was placed under $2,tOO bonds after arraignment at his bed side, the wife at once went for the papers.
