TWO BUILDING LOTS
Known as SO and Ga Circle Street

These lots are level and smooth, and
located on the corner of Nichols and
Circle streets, just opposite the Little
John, Odgers g. Milne granite sheds, and
nearly opposite Mcdonnell & Sons new
granite works.
The two lots have frontage of III
feet on Circle street, and 81 feet on
Nichols street, and will be sold sepa-
rately or both together. With the al
ready large business manufactures, the
recently erected Mcdonnell 4 Sons plant
and the possibility of another large plant
in the near future in this section OF
the city, must make these lots valuable.
The time to buy them is at the present
time, when you can pick them up at
your own price, as they will be sold to
the highest bidder, regardless of value
or former price.

Methods of Handling Tariff.

Methods of Handling Tariff.
Two modes Of procedure in the han.
ding Of this big question have been
considered. To prepare the tariff bill
as one general measure would have
been the ordinary plan. but to take up
the question schedule by schedule has
been advanced as the more desirable
way. The revisionists feel pretty well
assured that if they launch into rednc-
ton Of import levies with a dauntless
hand and present their proposition to
the senate in the form Of general
bill their purpose will be defeated.
The Democratic majority in the senate
Is perilously slim. 1t would take but
a few Democrats in that body to find
fault with measure. step over to the
Republicans and thus destroy the bill.
By taking up the tariff schedule by
schedule most of the items OF reduction
can be put through. For instance,
Democrats who find fault with reduc'
ton In particular measure affecting
their district would be offset by Re.
pubIicans from other sections. OF
course, in case the piecemeal system
is resorted to. there probably will be
some Of the schedules defeated. and
the net result will be an uneven revt'
sion Of the whole tariff list.
The chances are that scant attention
will be given by the public to the daily
battles, harangues. debates and prob
lens carried out in the house over the
tariff. Whereas this subject Is one in
which the whole country Is vitality
interested. it has been worn SO thor.
ou2hly threadbare that the public has
little time to waste on further argu-
ment upon It Just now all Mr.. Com
mon People wants Is to have his serv-
ants at Washington get the matter dis
posed Of and then tell him what the
results are. The country will be deep
" interested to know the results.
Ways and Means Committee Busy.
The ways and means committee will
probably have the Job of appointing
other committees during the extra SEES
sion. 1t has been made known that
the powers in this appointing body do
not want to make the appointments at
the coming session. They realize. rea'
sonably enough. that when they name
the committees they will only be stor.

Much speculation has been indulged
in as to whether President Wilson Will
visit the capitol and give personal ad-
vice on legislative matters. President
Wilson some time ago expressed bis
disposition toward adopting that prac-
tice. but since then he has got into
close touch with members Of congress
and has learned he can have access to
the members before the sessions each
day without going to the capitol.
Wilson Tavors Currency Laws.
One measure that President Wilson
Is known to favor particularly for
early passage is Il new law, or possibly
several laws. on the currency. Leaders
of congress. however. have expressed
the belief that there, will be no time
to take up the money laws question on
account OF the tariff. 1t is feared that
II the currency question comes up all
the different theorists Oh the remodel
ing of money affairs will cut loose and
exploit their various beliefs to the dis
advantage Of the tariff INV.
The question of granting or not
granting independence to the Philip
pine Islands is looked upon as per-
emptory subject. The last four Demo-
cratic platforms have contained planks
favoring the liberation OF the islands.
On the other hand. President Wilson
has signif1ed his intention OF sending
several representatives to the Philip
pines to personally Investigate the con-
ditions there and report to him.
