SEN ATOR PENROSE's STAND.

The interesting feature OF the SEN
ate committee complications is what
appears 10 be q direct issue over pro-
lection between Chairman Aldrich and
Senator Penrose, the first republican
member in the list below the chair
man.
Senator Penrose recognizes the dc.
slrcs of the hosiery industry in his
state, and In many other states, for in
creased duties to W. our hosiery
from the product Of Shemnitz, Ger
many. and from other foreign mills,
which comes in competition with the
domestic product, and has greatly
%demoralized Industrial conditions
among the hosiery manufacturers md
their employees. senator Penrose open
ly announces that 1t is his purpose to
carry the fight on he floor Of the
senate, and to defeat the report OF
the finance committee against the
Payne bill rates on hosiery. lie de
clares that the hosiery people have
made their case, and proved beyond
contradiction that rates above I he
Dingley law standard are necessary il
the hosiery industry In this country
is not to be permitted to pass out OF
existence as a result OF foreign com
edition
Senator penrose will take the floor
and squarely oppose the report of his
own committee N the hosiery question
and it is claimed that other members
OF the committee viii support him
against Senator Aldrich. As the lead
ing r~evlsionists. his natural enemies,
win be his supporters, the discussion
Of hosiery. II Aldrich adhoros to his
present Intention OF UNFOLDING the
Dingley rate, will make one OF the
most interesting days of the session.

TINE UNIVERSITY ROAD.

A few weeks ago, when the council
ordered the opening Of the University

relief among the people OF the town
because of the prospect of getting ril

there WAS a feeling Of disappointment,
bordering close upon disg ust, IN the
minds OF most citizens, on account OF
the fact that the council had only
gone half way, and ordered the work
to be only half done-that instead Of
the beautiful boulevard that ought to
be made from the town to the univcr-
sit We were to be given a thirty
foot alley way. while the rest was to
be left az an eye-aore, or possibly az
"a monument TO the memory OF our
present lawn tennis administration
But the people reconciled themselves
to even this slip-shod performance,
under the impression that the alley
would be reduced to grade, and would
therefore be az least deoently passable.
