us away UP on the hillside of success.
It has no connection with great corpo-
rations, except what it has with small
corporations and individuals. No
attack by repeating the Dingley act
can hurt one without hurting all. Any
disturbance of that kind would disturb
trade in ways with which we are all
too familiar.
A tariff bill at any time is not and
cannot be the creature Of one mind.
It means the result of contest by all
interests and all minds. Hence, when
ever any man thinks of tariff he
would make he always thinks of tar
if bill which can never be enacted.
( n There was once president Of the
United states, Of great power and in
fuence. For four years he had no con-
gress behind him, and he dreamed of
such tariff reform law as would suit
him. BY and by he had a congress of
his own party and he started in to
make such law as would please both
gods and men. There are those who
remember the dismal looks Of the mem
bers Of the house when they yielded to
the senate, and the averted looks of
the president as he let the bill pass
by, unsigned and friendless. To those
men it became apparent, as 1T should
be to the whole world, that the tariff
enacted is always different from the
act in your mind Is the republican
party ready to open the box, knowing
that, once it, is opened, only hope is
left behind?

Police Judge Hendershott has adopt
ed plan that should go far toward
solving the tramp problem in Ottumwa.
He has opened up a municipal wood
pile in the city Jail yard where the
tramps will be put to work under the
watchful eye of the police. Several
cords of oak and hickory have been
stacked up ready for the tramps, and
there will be enough saws, saw-bucks
and axes to go around. This should
prove an effective damper to the
Weary Willies. One experience on
Ottumwa's municipal wood pile would
be enough for ninety-nine tramps out
of a hundred. Few Of them would
care to repeat such an experience at
ten days before the saw-buck. The
same dose might prove effective in
bringing about the reformation of
some of Ottumwa's habitual offenders.
Failing in this it might induce them to
move and in either event Ottumwa
would be vastly the gamer.
