Il came over to see if / can borrow
your photograph and twenty or thirty
records for this evening" said Mrs.
cumback. We're going to have Il
our niece, who is visiting us. My
husband did intend to engage an Ita1-
ian orchestra, but at the last moment
he remembered that there's a note
coming due at the bank tomorrow
and he said we'd just simply have to
cut down expenses and cut out frills.
Sig. Bandini, who conducts the or
chestra j spoke of, told my husband
he was perfectly willing to wait for
his money, but Mr.. Ctlfnback isn't that
thing he does without it, and SO the
srocers and dry goods men and all
the other merchants are anxious to
get our trade, and their solicitors
come to our door every day. But it's
different with the Crumps. They are
bound to have everything that's going,
whether they have money to pay for
it or not and SO Mr.. Crump is always
wrangling with bill collectors and hid
ing IN the coal cellar to avoid con-
stables and bailiffs. / think Mr. Crump
would be all right IL he didn't have
such women in his familyss but his
daughters are natural born spend
ti1rifts. and his wife doesn't know a
dollar from a dishpan, as far as value
goes.
. Mrs Crump gave an afternoon
party about a month ago, and it was
really q shame the way she had to
stand at the back door fussing with
the delivery boys, who wouldn't leave
their packages unless they got the
money, and she had such a row with
the confectioner's man about the ice
cream that [ thought there would be
violence. The man carried his can OF
ice cream away with him, and Mrs.
Crunlp had to call up her husband by
phone and he raised the money some-
how. suppose by pa.wning his watch,
and had the ice cream sent out again.

REDUCING THE REVENUES.

The proposition of the democrats to
cut out duties to the amount of $10.-
100000 in order to save $so0,0oo,00o to
the agficulturalists of the country
reads we'll, but it is less practical than
it looks. since a reduction of the rev.
enues of the government by ten mil
lions would be very embarrassing to
the administration.
Our Washington correspondent
writes:
Where the revenue is to come from
to pay the running expenses of the
government after the passage of the
free-list bill. revision of the cotton
and wooden duties, and the reorgan-

here, the new tariff will cut off a
large revenue that must be provided
from some other source. Internal
revenue taxation is being discussed.
and various plans are proposed, among
them an increase of the tax on beer,
from one to two dollars per barrel;
tax on deadly weapons, of the sort
that can be concealed and are con-

proprietary madical preparations; and
q countervailing duty fon Brazilian
coffee, with view of serving a double

smashing the coffee trust.
Free sugar is doomed in advance,
the supporters of the home industry
are too streng; but there will undoubt-
eddy be a big cut in sugar duties.
There is a strong ma jority sentiment
to support the free wool proposition,
but the best information is that if the
committee should recommend and the
house pass it, the senate would reject
it but the duties will be distinctly
lowered The wool situation is said to
be giving the committee more worry
than any other schedule.
They have voted to take up wool
ahead OF cotton. 1t is estimated that
ninety per cent Of the democratic
membership is in faver Of free weol,
but Chairman Underwood, and the mi

1t doesn't seem to The Bulletin that
it is up to the commissioner or his
friends to do as the newspaper COM
nsand them to do.
IL what Governor Baldwin has said
about the state highway commissioner
is true, he has sufficient knowledge
of the law and experience in it,, to
have known how to proceed against
him, and having sustained his claims
he must realize that the senate would
not have refused to have confirmed
his candidate. The governor made a
late nomination and made no Charges
whatever; but when he found His can
dictate had been rejected he made
averments which are not proven to eff
feet his purpose
1t is not IN good form to throw a
man of the commissioners character
and ability down without even giving
him a hearing. The commissioner
would have been obliged TO have made
a defence if proceeded against as the
governor would have presented a cause
in court, and The Bulletin has no
doubt he would have made a good de-
fence and in all PROBABILITY won his
case.
No public official has been more
generously lied bout and no man could
take more pride in the work or givs
longer hours to it than the present
commissioner The fact is the ap-
peintment has been declined b. com
pentent men because the salary is toe
small for the responsibility: and The
