SITUATION IMPROVING.

The wise and conci'iatory action Of
OF the tircmen has relieved 10 a very
great extent the tensencss of the sit
nation, Notice Of strike has been with
drawn, and the hopes that within rea-
sonablc time accommodations can be ar
rived at that will meet the views of the
freTen. are justified,
The hard and fast rule adopted by
tie commission that apportionS the
city's revenue arbitrarily and without
elasticity, is universally condemned.
There should be reserve, that can be
drawn upon for emergency purposes
held out from any apportionment OF
funds that is made. This apportionment
should be for the routine or agreed On
items only. and not with q view OF TAX
ing ny all of the revenue o. the city.
Let there bc a fair amount for routine
work, estimated on the basis Of former
city in its daily public requirements.
But back OF all that. there should be 4
reserve fund that can be drawn upon in
case Of emergency, such as the supply
ing Of an immediate available water
reserve TO meet the views of the fire in
surancc men, TO increase the pay of the

any unforeseen demand that may and

take in this appears to have been really
the basic cause of the trouble which has

PROTECTION AGAINST DUMPING

IT appears that the Democrats cannot
get away from the principle of protec'
tion even In framing their own tarlff
revision bill in their own way. Ihes
declare in their platform that it is un'
constitutional to levy custom duties
save only for the purpose OF revenue;
and still, one OF the most important
points in their revision explicitly and
forcibly recognizes and includes the
principle Of protection.
Under the Democratic idea, it would
be an advantage to this country II ar
ticles produced by the cheap labor oi
Europe were imported into this country
IN unlimited quantities. The more we
can import. if it costs us less than the
production of these articles would cost
in this country, we would, according to
the Democratic theory, be by that much
the gamer, and the cheaper these ar
ticles were scheduled to this country
the better, on that same theory
And yet there is an express provision
in the revised tariff law against this
very thing, that ought. under Demo
cratic pretenses, to be the very bes'
thing that could happen to this coun
try. The provision we speak Of is thai
which provides that whenever goods arc
exported to the United States OF elias:
or kind made or produced in this coun
try, if the export or actual selling price
to an importer in the United States is
less than the fair market value of the
same articles when sold for home con
sumption in the usual and ordinary
course, in the country, from which ex
ported to the United States, at the timC
of its expectation, there shall be- in ad
dition TO the duties otherwise cstab
lished, levied, collected, and paid Oh

United States a special duty equal tc

II is comforting to those who live

Roosevelt is not able to see any par

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The leading event in business and
financial circles during the week was
the completion of the organization on
Wednesday OF the Bankers Trust Com
pany with a capital stock Of 100000,
and the stock er-subscribed. Mr.. w
w. Armstrong is president of the new
company, John Dern, David Keith and
W, L.. Harrison are vice presidents,
and Eugene Giles, secretary and
treasurer. The offices are in the base.
ment of the National Copper Bank.
During the week negotiations have
been on for the sale Of the Semloh
hotel by MIR. Holmes TO Mr.. j. c.
Wyatt, of Little Rock, Arkansas. The
negotiations are yet in progress.
The building and mechanical trades
have had some troubles with their Ia
boring forces during the week, with
some strikes and walkouts, The
Street Railway Company has succeeded
IN coming TO an amicable agreement
with its employees. and it is hoped
that this good example will be followed
in other cases.
The sale of the Moffat road during
the week and the interest OF the Com
mercial Club Of this city in advancing
potent reasons why that road should
be completed from its present terminus
at Steamboat Springs to Salt Lake
City were matters Of important dis
cussion during the week,

SUES FOR $4,000 BECAUSE
HE WAS DEPRIVED OF VOTE

COLUMBUS, GA, March PAT. n.
Voolfolk, of Norfolk, Va, has filed suit
in the United States court against
Muscogee county, for $4,000 damages,
because he claims, at the time of the
1905 gubernatorial election, he was ar
rested and kept locked up so that he
could not vote.
Voolfolk first sent his suit to the
clerk of the superior court to be filed in
that court but he did not send the cash
to pay for filing suit, and it was re-
turned to him. Now he is seeking to
bring action in the United States court.
He is acting as his own attorney, as he
is lawyer by profession. The suit is
a unique one, as the wording is very
different to that of suits filed in Geor-
gia under the state laws.
