Senate to some Of the changes
made in the bill by the Conference
Committee, and this may delay
action. Senator Reed of this State
is reported to have said that unless
certain changes were made in the
rates fixed by the committee be
might vote against the report and
the tariff bill on its final passage.
With the slim majority the Demo-
Gratis have in the Senate, if he
should do this it might not only
delay and hazard tariff legislation
but it would discredit his party
standing. We think he will vote
for it even il all the is aud t. are
not dotted and crossed to his lik-
ing.
This morning, however, the
news comes from Washington that
the Senate Democratic caucus had
voted last night to approve the
bill! as reported by the conference
committee and it will probably he
passed by the Senate to day or to-
morrow, and this will end the long
fight for tariff reduction.

Uses of Corn.

The most remarkable thing about
corn is the new products that have
been derived from 1t, the many new
uses which science and American
genius have created for II. Corn now
enters into $50 different products, the
most familiar being syrup sugar,
breakfast foods, shortcomings, salad

The Senate and House Confer.
ence Committees report on the
tariff bill was agreed to by the
House on Tuesday by strict party
vote of 254 to 1903. The Senate
has not yet acted on the report but
it was expected to have been called
up in that body yesterday for ac-
ton, and if there is no hitch in the
Senate it may be ready for the
Presidents signature before the
end of the week. The bill has the
hearty Endorsement Of the Presi-
dent and he will lose no time in at.
taching his signature to it as soon
as the Senate agrees to the report.
There is some talk, however, that

While life periods for birds have
been variously stated at from two
years for wren to enc hundred for
the eagle and crow. such figures have
lacked authority. Prof. L. Petit has
lately brought to the notice OF the 70
illogical society Of France some birds
OF accurately known age. and these
include a sparrow of eight years. a
blackbird OF eleven. a small cardinal
OF fourteen and an Amazon parakeet

No Use for O Marshal.

The marshal of Kingston, NO.,
has resigned because he has nothing
to do. Everybody has got good In
that burg and the calaboose has been
sold for hen-honse. Sixteen years
ago Kingston was a lively place.
Then the calabOose was sometimes
filled to its full capacity and the
marshal did land-office business.
but now it's all changed, and the
unfortunate marshal will have to
hunt another job. = Scott County
Democrat.

about Kingston by saying that when

The Hlhi,er EQUITY.

Bismark used to delight in telling
The story OF how, when foraging for
food with two companions in an al
most deserted village, he came upon
a man from whom he procured Ave
eggs. Unable to divide Ave among
three. he began by swallowing two;
then, calling his companions, shared
the three remaining eggs with them

division.
