When Senatorial Biocs Disappear.

Signs are not wanting that the new tariff bloc
In congress Is not to have its way In the final
determination Of rates OF duty. The elder and
more powerful agricultural bloc does not see
eye to eye with tho newer cotcrie as regards
tariff questions.
Indeed. Senator Capper, chairman OF the agri.
cultural bloc. has hercely denounced some OF the
pet proposals Of the tariff combination as cloaks
to hide some enormous duties and "bunko
schemes TO fool the farmer" Senator Norris
OF Nebraska warns his colleagues against
"bltndly voting tarin increases they will not be
able to defend before their farmer constituents"
Other senators protest against policy which
offers the farmer ineffective and purely theoreti-
cal protection. while imposing rates of duty on
manufactured goods that will raise prices OF
practically everything the farmer has to buy in
the city or village store.
Such objections these dispose of the con-
tention Of the tariff bloc that it has rendered
agriculture great service by putting duty
on everything the farmer produces This boast
was punctured by several concrete illustrations
OF which the duty on hides is a striking exam.
pie. How many hides does the average farmer
sell? Yet to place a compensatory duty on
increase very materially the average farmers
cost of living and the cost OF tlling his and
producing his crops!
No wonder the blocs are falling out. No Won
der some of the staunchest friends of the
farmer are threatening revolt and telling Senator
McCumber that many Of the duties in his tariff
bill will have to be lowered.
The great difficulty is, as some candid sena-
tors admit, that the socalled tariff debates are
attended by very few members Of the senate,
and that the voting In favor of high rates is per-
functory and generally blind The pending bill
represents all sorts of trades and bargains. Such
q measure, as Senator Norris asserts, sis it's own
DEATH"
Decidedly. the new National Fair Tariff as
sociation. which demands moderate duties based
on ascertained differences in production costs
has important work to do and should be able to
enforce Its sound views on tariff making by many
modern instances drawn from the Fordney-
McCumber anachronisms and perversions.

As Seen From the Street.
3m the Bridseport fNeb1 Herald

From the Bridgeport (Neb) Herald.
Many people who maintain property in a
poor condition have no conception Of the way
their real estate looks from the street and to
their neighbors. They get used to the scanty
grass and the piles Of rubbish and the tumble
down sheds that may disflgure their places, and
do not give a thought to the way the same looks
to other people. Easy going human nature ad-
1usts itself to almost anything, and people soon
sink to low standard Of care
Other people who the whole maintain
good looking places will yet permit the whole
effect to be marred by a few disorderly condi
tions These could be removed by just little
work, making such difference and giving such
a sense of comfort and pride in return for
little effort
:. The attitude of town toward physical clean
illness is good deal like the discipline of com
pany OF soldiers. II one two men get out of
step the whole line looks ragged, and pretty soon
others become slipshod and the beauty Of united
motion has disappeared.
The home place that tolerates dsorderly con-
ditions is discordant unit in the company of
homes, and it tends to destroy the effect of the
whole Owners Of property that is not kept in
creditable condition should do their part to keep
up the morale of the community.

Alliances City Manager.

From the York News Times
The city of Alliance claims to be pleased
with the plan OF having a city manager.
The report sent from the Box Butte county
seat says the city expenses have been reduced
under the manager plan. There is scheme on
foot for Alliance to pay off some of her debts
The city manager of Alliance may be all
right There are numerous small cities in Iowa,
where the city manager plan is in vogue; Clar-
inda is one and the plan there has worked but
1t Is not claimed the plan is much cheaper than
the commission or council system. One thing
Is sure, it offers one an opportunity to
graft it he so desires. Clarinda and Alliance
have been fortunate in getting good men for
managers, but there are towns that have had
rascals in the position and in these towns the
plan is not popular.
Alliance owns her water works and electric
light plant These are a. source Of revenue, and
with a good business man in control they will
pay for themselves eventually.
At Sheridan. Wyo., the water works are
owned by the city and the plant has been a good
source of revenue. At Cheyenne the city has an
expensive water works system and the revenues
have not been so satisfactory, but in Cheyenne
the big debt is gradually being reduced.
Business principles in city management is
necessary to secure good service. The one man
system has some good points, but most COM
munities would rather trust in council or
commission t

not increase quite as rapidly its tho
prices OF farm products during the
