CAPITOL GOSSIP
THE TARIFF SURE OF PASSING
THE SENATE.
The Senate Takes a Number of Articles
off the Free List. The Bill Soon
to Come to » Yote,
WasHiNgTOoN, March 12. —Demo-
crats, even those who are personally
opposed to some of the changes made,
mittee has at last got the tariff’ bill in
a shape to make its passage by
Senate certain. Itisreally surprising,
in view of the radical change made by
taking sugar, iron ore, coal and lead
ore from the free list and putting a du-
ty upon them, that the Democrats of
jections, But they regard the matter
from a common sense point of view,
knowing that the Democrats of the
Senate Finance committee yielded
necessary to pass the bill, and also
ference after its passage by the Senate,
mittee would like to waste a mouth or
so by keeping the tariff bill in commit-
any such time.
Democrats will allow them that much
time, if not the bill will be reported
sooner without their consent.
Secretary Herbert's answer to
House resolution asking by what au-
thority he ordered Admiral Skerrett
Hawaii as Special Commissioner, was,
in short, that it came from the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Army and Na-
action, dating from 1833 to 1881.
Senator Blanchard assumed his new
duties to-day and Justice White, his
predecessor, was sworn is as a member
of the Supreme Court. If Mr. Blanch-
House the people of Louisiana
doubtless ratify the selection of the
governor by keeping him there.
Representative Kilgore, of Texas,
was not altogether wrong, although
rather too general, when he said in
the course of the debate on the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill,
concerning the newspapers of Wash-
ington: ‘The newspapers of Washing-
ton have never failed to advocate any
scheme, I don’t care how infamous it
was, that looked to the expenditure of
the public money in the interest of
speculators in and around the city. |
never knew of an instance in which
they did not advocate such schemes.”
In reply to a protest from Representa-
tive Blair. of N. H., Mr. Kilgore con-
tinued: “Well, 1 make the distinet
charge that the newspapers are cor
rupt and that they advocate every cor-
rupt scheme that has been introduced
into Congress to plunder the Treasury
in the interest of private interests.”
Democrats in Congress are in thor-
ough sympathy with the Dedartment-
been engaged for many months in
locking into the business methods of

ing to a reduction of unnecessary red
tape and of unnecessary officials,

A Successful Man.
Mr. Phil Armour, the great Chicago
capitalist, has some ideas and methods
{ which are in accord with those of the
| late George W. Childs,
The Chicago millionaire is the great-
{ est trader in the world. He employes
12,000 persons, pays $7,000,000 yearly
in wages, owns 4000 ears ind 800 horses,
He is not only a philanthropist but an
optimist, and, speaking of the oppor-
tunities of our young men in tha future,
| he says:
“Wealth, capital, can do
ing without brains to direct it. It will
{ be us true in the future as it is in the
| present that brains make capital-—capi-
| tal does not make brains. The world
[does not stand still. Changes come
| quicker now than they ever did, and
they will come quicker and quicker.
New ideas new inventions, new meth-
| ods of manufacture and transportation,
new ways to do almost everything,
will be found as the world grows older,

and who are ready for them will find
| advantages as great as any their fathers
Mr. Armour believes in living in to-
day, and not in yesterday. He frankly
admits that he does not hold the same
opinions that he held 20 years ago,
{and says he is willing to change his
| views to suit the times’

An Important Decision.
Justice Mitchell has just decided a
case of interest to religious and charit-
in which he says
that the act, in express terms, limited
the exemption to property in actual
use and occupation for the purposes
aforesaid, and provides that all other
property, even the church, ete., from
which any income or revenue shall be
derived, shall be subject to taxation.
If, therefore, the property is rented
out and this produces income or reve
nue, it is subject to taxation, and the
fact that for a part of the time, certain
days or hours of the week, the church

Funeral Expenses,
It is estimated by writer that
more money is expended annually for
funerals in the United States than
expended for public school purposes;
and another writer says that funerals
cost annually more money than the
combined product of the gold and sil
ver mines is worth. This does not in-
clude the cost of cemetery lots and
burial fees. While it is quite natural
to properly reverence the dead, it
certainly unnecessary to make extrav-
agant expenditures in their behalf,
Many poor families eripple themselves
for months in order to make a last
show of respect for the departed. The
unnecessary expenses could be used to
much better advantage when the poor
body was animated and could really
appreciate luxuries.

A Judge Down on Illegal Foon,
The illegal fee grabbers in Lancaster |
county are coming to grief. Judge
Brubaker, who has so relentlessly pur-
sued the fee grabbers in Lancaster for
i year or more, one day last week put
in another shot. He called M. 8. Fry,
Clerk of the quarter sessions, and his
predecessor, Dr. Urban, before him.
He charged Fry with having made
sworn return to the Auditor General

ary were $303.85, while the records of
the County Treasurer show that |

six months of his term, while he drew

A GREAT PATRIOT
The older readers of the ReErorrTen
remember the noble Hungarian patri- |
ot, Kossuth, who, over a quarter of a
century ago came to the United States
and so eloquently pleaded for the cause
of his down-trodden country. The no-
ble old patriot has been ill for many
months, and his end is at hand. The

injurious to Eyesight.
The injurious effect on the
caused by wearing dotted veils is an
old warning which has been sounded |
to no purpose, and the fact that ocu- |
lists are growing rich under this reign |
of fashion does not alarm the wearers |
of this attractive bit of feminine vani- |
ty. The dots are larger or smaller, |
closer together of further apart, as they
are more or less becoming, while the
possibility of impaired eyesight is left
entirely out of consideration. It has
been discovered lately that the dots are
not their only harmful quality. There
is some substance used in stiffening or
coloring the net which is poisonous if
it chances to find its way into the eye.

THE severest test of manhood is nev.
er found in good times, but only in
hard times. It is not the man who
has success when others do well, but
it is the man who keeps up his courage
and struggles on when everybody else
is wavering or going down, who is the
hero in the sight of God and men. It
is an easier matter to make good time
when both wind and tide are in one's
favor, or when one is with the
skill and daring to make head in spite
