'Hif result will have a g'r ift'rrt on cranks of his calibre. Sknatok IM ay, who lias recently re turned from a trip to Florida, said at I'itl.-I.urg FrMay that in his opinion the Wilson tariff b.il will go through con gress practically unchanged, as the Deni-M-ratic J'arty is pledged to it and the I'rc.-ident favors the measure. Tiik Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel Company on Tuesday resumed operations in every department. About J."(M men are at work. Practically all the iron and steel w orks in Western Penn sylvania are now busy and the con dition of the working people has bright ened considerably. The resolutions adopted by the Ho publcan state convention Wednesday area condensation of all the calamity bowling, the exaggerated partisan state ments and downright falsehoods that hail possession of the Ilepuhliean press for the last six months whenever it touched the tariff question. Anokkw Cahnkcik lias offered to con tribute one dollar for every other dollar donated by the citizens of Pittsburg for giving work in the parks to the unem ployed of Pittsburg, lie places a limit however, on the same to $,0(H) a day or 1,1 h Hi in the total amount. It might also be mentioned that he has reduced the wages of his worknivn at Homestead from 10 to 4l per cent. Tiik Populist secretary of state of Kansas urges the making of two hours the local limit ot a working day, on the theory that the industrial stagnation is due to over production. No doubt the industrial situation has been aggravated by over-production not of the neces sarits of life, however; but of the quack remedies of social theorists, who have tswniig from the extreme of liat money to the other extreme of liat working da vs. Tiik state department at Washington lias recti ved from tin nobles of St. Petersburg a splendidly illuminated and printed address to the people of the 1'tii teil States, conveying acknowledgnu uls anil lhatiks for the aid extended to suf ferers by famine in Ku.-sia. Thcuddress is painted on vellum arid is r.ccompau panied by paintings of Russian scenes, the whole magnificently bound in 1'iis sian leather with an inscription on the back in ma.-sive gold letters. Tiik last lo-puhlican administration left the incoming Ilemocratic adminis tration :i legacy if an empty treasury, expenditures, a deficiency, and a bung ling financial tAsleni. With such vicious and urihusims like conditions confronting it it requires careful con sideration at the hands of congress, and to undo the evils of the old systen will require time and patience. The evil that has ln-en growing fur years cannot be oHiteratcd and remedied in a dav. ioVKKNoK Mi Kim I y, in his message to the Ohio Legislature, recommends a f-hort session and as little legislation s jxMvible. If the governor had shown as great wisdom dining his career in con gress as he did in the above suggestion, the country might not le exjieriencing the business stagnation now prevalent in every branch of trade. Hut happily, confidence is gradually returning, the mills are starting up, and the new year starts with the prosect of being the most prosperous, in the history of the country. Tiik apjxiintment of two Iiemocrats to the positions of Commissioners' counsel and janitor at the court house, was one of the surprises of the new year. The new hoard is Republican and the horde of the hungry faithful naturally expect ed to scoop everything in sight. The two appointments were made by Messrs. Lloyd and Iillon and fell ujxm the ap plicants with a "dull sickening thud." As Mr. Lloyd has informed them that he "don't care a d n what thev think aloutit," they will probably hunt jobs elsewhere. The Republican state convention con vened at Harrisburg on Wednesday to nominate a successor to the late (.leneral William Lilly as congressman at large, and tlallusha A.tirow was chosen by ac clamation as the party nominee. The nomination, of course, is equivalent to election. Mr. tirow started in public life as a Ilemocratic tariff reformer and pro tege of Haviil Wilmot, who held the same faith. lie voted for the tariff of l.S."7, tli2 nearest approach to free trade the country haa ever had. In some of .Mr. lirow'fl earlier sjieeches, if we are not greatly mistaken, there is sound tariff doctrine. That was when he called liimself Democrat. Wk have gone through the valley of business despondency, says the Philadel phia Tin,, and with the opening of the new ye;it. there is every prospect of re vived commerce, industry and trade, if congress shall promptly discharge its date. P.usines? is waiting for oongreg, and every business man who uagts delay in the revision of the tariff and in the adoption of a sound fman ial policy urges the continuance of business de pression, which always carrii s with it want to the laborer. Tariff revision is demanded by an overwhelming majority of the American p ople In tic: two great national contests of l'.-O and ls-'.'-J the people expressed themselves for tax reduction by tariff revision with unex ampled emphasis. It isa command that must be obeyed, While tax reduction on the necessaries of business and of lift; is an imperious necessity, the supply of revenue snt'i cient to meet the expenses of the gov ernment is a like necessity that congrv-s must respect, and the way to provide revenue is to do it by the manliest methods possible. Stop fooling ahout nn income tax. It will not puss I Kith Houses of congress, however earnestly urged, audit would not pass the approval of the country. The party that goes back to an income tax in time of peace must become a sui cide. The short and easy way to supply most, if not all, the revenue needed is to restore a tax of one cent jkt pound on refined sugar, with eight mills per pound on raw sugar and rejieal the sugar boun ty. We are now paying one-half cent per jxiuiid tn rt lined sugar and over J 10,000,000 of bounty. The addition of a half cent jkt pound and the repeal of the sugar bounty would give the treasury nearly orenjirely the amount of additional revenue needed without per ceptibility increasing taxation upon the people. No party can afford to dally with a bankrupt treasury, no matter what party or what cause may have produced it The national credit is sacred and must be scrupulously maintained. The present treasury deficit is caused solely by the protligaey of the Republican party, but the faith of the government must be fulfilled, the expenditures must be met, arul it is no grave task to adjust our tariff and internal revenue laws to sup ply all that is needed. Above all let congress bear in mind that busine.-s is waiting for its action, and if there shall be delay in the restor ation of business prosperity it must be because of wanton delay in congress to enact the laws clearly demanded by the sovereign power of the nation. Willi. K a bill is pending in congress for the admission of I'tah into the L'n ion, with everv probability that it will pass both Houses and become a law, another bill has been introduced materi ally modifying the new state situation , by annexing I'tah to Nevada, and thus I making the latter state consist of its present linnls with I'tah added, with a population in round numbers of Hi'11. , 00O, of w hich L'l.u.oon would be in I'tah ' and -lO. Hid in Nevada, and an area of 1;.", (K(!, square miles, of which .",( '( M I would be in I'tah and ll'UMHiin Nc j vada. It is probable, says the Pittsburg W, that this bill will pas, even were j its constitutionality admitted, in the face of opposition from either I'tah or ! Nevada. I'tah ha jnt claims to come ; in as a state, and it would be harsh treatment to compel her to accept Nt ; vada's state organization, name and Sen : ators in cong:ss. It would bean at : tempt to punish prospeiotis I'tah for the blunder of admitting Nevada with in ! sufficient population ," years ago. j The history of Nevada is striking in ; one particular. It is the only American , state that has decreased in wealth and j population the la-t decade. When the j state was the great silver-producing re i gion of the world few of her inhabitants i troubled themselves about her future. J In 17" she produced more than jlO,. j (Hn,oiH of gold and silver. P.y lso her production was reduced to 17.aotl.ooo, ; aim ty i'.'o to oihi.ouu. i lie census of 1 S'.hi showed she had lost more than '.'" er cent, of her population in the preceding decade. Her assessed wealth had greatly decreased, and in every im (Mirtant respect she was poorer than when she entered the I'nion in Im'.'.i. Her population is now l."0,tO0 below the ratio of (Herniation to a congressional district. There is some resject that in the fit ture, by irrigation, which is cheaper there than in any western state, Nevada may develop agricultural wealth. A few river valleys are productive under pres ent conditions, and of the 1,-HH farms in the state l,l2lH) are irrigated in whole or in part. On such farms the yield is marvelous, and shows the possibilities of developing the arid soil. The climate of the state makes possible a great variety of agricultural and fruit product's. Its area of more than 100, WO square miles extends from the latitude of Spartans burg, S. C, to that of Hartford, Conn. Nevada has one advantage that many agricultural states have only imjierfectly. and that is a complete railroad system, inherited from the days of her silver granduer. Tiikkk was considerable fun in the Commissioners' office at this place on Monday when the new loard met to aj point the different clerks for the com ing year. Wertz, the new member, who is inexjerieneed in politics, but who is saitl to have lieen thoroughly jtostcd by Kbensburg statesmen of the peanut variety as to how the olliee should le conducted, was there to reform everything, and incidentally to see that the wiley Lloyd got no more than mssihle. Lloyd was after a clerkship for his brother, while liiilon, the Ilemocratic member, was merely an on-looker. After considerable wrang ling with Wertz, Lloyd foiled that the clerkship was not forthcoming and he and liiilon made the apxiintments that shocked the Republican patriots outside, who were waiting patiently for the plums to fall.

They generally recognize the fact that the Wilson bill is a party, not an indi vidual measure, and that as good Dem ocrats it is their duty to support the bill as it will be approved by the Democratic caucus, and they will do it. No party measure has ever hi en passed ny con gress that did not rceive the votes of HK-n w hose personal inclinations and in terests were opposed thereto, and none ever will be. When a man cannot bring himself to vote for a party measure, particularly when it rcpre.-ents tariff re form, which has been the keystone of the Democratic arch for so many years, it is high time that lie shoiiM cca.-e to call himself a party man or to expect to receive honors from the par ty he declines to support. The presence of several Democrats who would be willing to preside over the gov ernment printing offices, together with the knowledge that the period covered bv the bond of the Republican public printer will expire at midnight of next Sunday, makes it look as though the ap pointment of a new public printer would very shortly he maile. The Democrats have waited very patiently for tb is f-liangc to be made, as there are more pl.n-. s outside of the civil service rults in th.d othce than in any other single branch of the government.

Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Settling a Keinl. Wkhstkk Of v, la. .January '2 When the sun set at Dayton, a small mining town near here to-night, it was the scene of the wildest excitement. Two hun dred miners from the little town of Fra zier, two miles away, had !een there to wipe it from the face of the earth. They had left on the field last night w here a fierce battle took place, wounded men and companions were laterally cut to pieces. For the last live years a feud has existed lietwt-cn the towns of Dayton and Fraier. Iist night a dance was in progress in the village hall at Dayton, and nearly half of the jM-opIe of the town were pres ent. The dance was at its zenith w hen with lotnl halloaing and noise enough to frighteii a regiment of soldiers, a great crowd of miners from Fraier flocked to the hall. The Dayton men hastened home and Secured their Winchesters. Cilv Marshal Law-on was dancing with a crowd of mini is in the ball. He van b ggin- tin-in to be quiet and go home. Someone drew a rcv.lver and tired, the bullet entering the otllcer's slinimdi, killing him in-tanlly. In a moment the news of his shooting was carried to the men in the square, Thev hastened n the restaurant and there, oiii-ide' in the yard, a bloody battle with knivis and revolvers took place.

He took off his overcoat and crawled in after the rabbit, and stuck so fa-t that he could not move either in or out. After supper that night, Charley not having put in an appearance. Mr. liruno decided to hunt him up. The Walkers who lived near, reported that they saw the boy in the afternoon trudging through the field in the direction of the woods, carrying his rifle, and that soon afterward they heard a shot. Mr. liruno, accompanied by the hired man and Mr. Walker and the latlcrs' dog, started for the woods, the dog lead ing. Soon the dog U-gan to howl and came running back to the party.
