Detective Fielding has been busy the
past two or three days running down
clews in this, city, but has to admit
that the Joseph Wheeler murder is the
most mysterious that he ever invesfi
gated. The more that he looks into
it the more he is convinced that the
shot that killed him was accidental
and that it was probably fired by some
woman. He thinks that she assisted
him to dress, and may have assisted
him toward his car, but guided him to
the wrong trestle, and that he fell of
from it after she left him. He be
lieves that both agreed not to give
the right account of how it happened
for the sake of their regulations
and that if he had recovered suffi-
GENTLY to he would not have told the
story as it was.

The Real Tariff issue.

The Republican national platform
promisedBa revision of the tariff based
on the difference in cost OF production
at home and abroad. In the framing
of the Payne bill there was no pre-
tense of fulfilling that promise. There
was not even an effort worthy the
name to discover such difference in
cost Of production. Here Is the real
tariff question, and it Is not only eco
nomic, but moral. The progressive
plan of a tariff commission is the only
one that meets the issue. Such a
commission should have power to act
and to report direct to congress. The
present tariff board has not this pow
er. Indeed, 1t has nc power at all to
investigate facts on which to base re-
vision except such as is conferred on
It by the president. IL the president
should happen to be unfriendly to an
investigation the board would be left
without a leg to stand on. Such a
makeshift body is inadequate to the
great task that confronts 1t. There
should be a permanent commission
clothed with the authority of law.

Keyport, Oct. 17:-The second
elimination contest for the purpose
of forming the bowling team of the
Century Athletic Club, was rolled at
the Brunswick Bowling Parlors last
Friday. AS the wise ones predicted,
o great change was made In the
standing of the different contestants,
many of those who we're well up in
the first contest dropping back two
or three places.
Maurer rolled exceptionally good,
coming from fifth place in the first
contest to first in the second contest,
and second in average for the two
contests. Maurer averaged only 40
In the first contest, while his average
for the second was 100 2-3. This
was also the case with Ackerson, he
having come from sixth place In the
first contest to third in the second,
and four In average for the two con-
tests. Those who dropped back we're
Costa, who dropped from second
place In the first contest to seventh
in the second, his average In the first
contest bringing him up to third In
average for both the contests, and
Armstrong, who dropped from third
to sixth for the two contests.
Next Friday night will be the de-
Gliding night, and those who attend
will never regret 1t, as a number Of
the bowlers' averages are very close
to each other. This will make it a
interesting contest. Kortenhaus
rolled for the first time this year last
Friday night and the way he run his
scores up left no doubt but that he

154 and 1876, respectively. If Fredd

rolled two games, he made them
choice ones.
