Had short Time FOR Work.
The tariff commission OF 1857 nae
a compare lively short time in which 70
do its work It was required 70 make
its report to congress in December, 50
that II had approximately only sl4
months IN which to make its iuvesttga-
lions and part Of its recommendation
The fact that the tariff Classification
made by 1t, by way Of simplifying the
law, have continued to the present time
IS taken by many as showing the value
Of a tariff commission. Tt is interest
ing to know IN this connection that one
OF the lines Of work mapped out Dy
Mr. Taft has been that Of still further
simplifying the tariff laws.
Those who did not accept the con-
illusions OF the tariff commission OF
1882 were inclined TO criticise the per
sonnet Of the commission. They as
serted that four of them were bene1l-
Charles Of the tariff and that all Of the
others were protectionists. The Demo-
Gratis in congress refused to support
thee work OF the tariff commission just
as thew had refused to vote for its es-
establishment
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that wherever there has been an inyes-
tigation OF the tariff question by any
sort Of a commission under the au-
thority Of congress it has been followed
by a report favOring reductions From
what has been disclosed in the recent
past It appears that the work OF the
present tariff board VIII be no excep-
ton to the rule. 1t IS claimed byeDem-
ocrats that the tariff rates existing to-
day are even higher than those which
the tariff board Of 1892 declared ought
to be reduced. The conclusions Of the
present tariff board will be acted upon
by a house Of representatives hostile TO
the principle Of protection In this i
win probably not meet as favorable q
reception as did the report OF the tar
if commission Of 1882.

terrible suspension. Then the sappers
came and blew open the gaze. No one

sWarmed across the yard, scaled a wall,
entered the next house, ran through sta

vilion and here I saw a scene Of hor-
ror that still makes me tremble when
I think Of IT.
. The Spaniards had dipped our colonel
in a barrel OF tar and rolled him in
feathers. Then they had carried him
to the pavilion, locked him Into a kind
Of barred cage, set fire to him and

In my opinion the reason there IS so
much domestic misery all about US is
CHIEFLY because SO many men do the
thing you are tempted to do-marry
women who are one thing and then ex-

should think a man candidate for a

But that is no more unreasonable
than for q man TO marry a gil because
she is beautiful butterfly OF fashion,
and then blame her because she IS not
thrifty, hard working domestic wife
Nor is Il more ridiculous than for man

Don't be misled. son, into believing

was the Oldest tennis player in Eng

early learned to play the old game Of
tennis In 4 court at st. James street,
Haymarket, and had taken part in
many notable tennis matches both in
this country and in America. The last
match he played and won was a handi
cap at Manchester in October, 1892. IN
which he had to meet some Of the
best professional exponents of the
game, On this occasion his son, Al

keeper Of the Duke Of Flies court at
Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, and
who has played with the king there,
was second to his father in the match.
