The amendments to the Payne bill reported by the finance committee of the senate to that body are numerous, as was expected, and lay the founda tion for a discussion that will be more protracted, and should be much more Interesting, than that the house has Just concluded. Unhampered by rules that put restraint upon debate, senators will be at liberty to discuss the whole tariff question at length, and offer such amendments, regardless of the committee's work, as they may coneider necessary to make the measure reported the proper revenue producer. Mr. Aldrich In his statement make3 prominent the fact that the changes recommended by the finance committee provide for three times as many reductions as increases. Revision downward was the party promise last year, and here. It is proclaimed, is the redemption of the promise. The free list has been enlarged, and a great many duties have been reduced. But what will be the general relief? What is the real value of the reductions to the rank and file of the people, and what will be the effect on the revenues of the government? Here is where the clash comes boti between the two parties and between the experts. The democrats of the senate will when the debate opens, controvert the Aldrich argument, while the experts who assisted in the prep aration, of the Payne bill will challenge some at least of the figures of the ex perts who helped prepare the senate finance committee's amendments. Mr. Daniel will open for the democrats, and we should get from him the democrat ic Idea of. how much, or how little, the republicans propose for the relief of the taxpayers. But what about r.n inheritance tax, an income tax. a stamp tax. a tax on tho earnings of big corporations, or au Increase of the beer tax? All of those propositions have been discussed, and the first named was favored by the - president and indorsed by the house. It was charged that the customs schedules of the Payne bill would not supply by many millions money enough to support the government, and the same charge will be brought against the bill as amended by the senate. It will be in order for any republican or any democratic senator to offer any amendment, and, take the senate's judgment on it, proposing additional revenue by any means he thinks proper and constitutional. Shall we see in. the end the senate's debate take on its chief interest from the introduction of some such proposition? An income tax has friends on both sides of the chamber. Six weeks lie between April 15 and June 1. In that time, with, no other business before it, the senate should make a clear and comprehensive ree- - , ord on the whole tariff question. Evv cry thing there is favorable to discusjiion. The rules are air that the demo- ' (rats should desire, and among the senators on that side of the chamber are come of the best speakers, and best equipped men for tariff debate the party possesses. Washington Star. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Plea for Manual Training. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The effort of B. W. Johnson, supervisor of manual training in the public schools of this city, and of other men Idtntified with Seattle's system of public education to develop a more general interest iu manual training ought to be productive of much good. Not only in Seattle, but in every part of the country there is a vigorous de"STnnd for a broadening ot practical educational work in public schools, . though the earnest educators who are taking a leading part in the movement have not yet succeeded in developing public sentiment up to the point that would Insure success.: But the popnlar miad is changing rapidly on this question, and it will not be load be- ' fore, manual training, instead of being a mere incident In the American sys- . teas oft public education, will be one of Its prime factors. K -' - Pennsylvania Legislature. i from the , Philadelphia Ledger. - Tfe present legislature or the men controlling it. have contrived to ruin nearly every important measure they have had to deal with. The session began with unusual promise, ' There appeared to be a general desire to give thoughtful consideration to the business of the, state, treating it with in49as4sat sad Impartial judgment

Another Democratic Administration We do not want another democratic administration. Being republicans ourselves, and the coming primary being the time to select a republican candidate, we can not see either the wisdom, nor the ' logic, which would force the party into a hole where men will bolt the ticket.". ' Constituted as men are, It may be that they see the advantage in selecting a man who will force men out of the party. The party needs all the strength it can get. There is no need of running a risk of a , democratic administrationelections are enough of a risk without that. We ourselves, being republicans, and therefore being prejudiced, would be inclined to the opinion that the present democratic administration has scarcely been what it had the opportunity to be. - ' If we'ean have a good administration in Richmond, which is also republicanwhy not have It, instead of a mediocre democratic administration. But we must have a clean republican mayor. And we can have a good mayor, a man in office that no man need be ashamed of we can have a man nominated who will not be defeated. We can nominate a man who will unite the party. That is just the sort of man that the democrats do not want.

Why? They, know that they have not the chance of a small boy to' win against a prize fighter, if the republicans will only nominate a man who will be acceptablt to all of the party. This being the case how can any man who honestly cares anything about his party, vote to nominate a man who was defeated the last time, by the votes of his party, even with the most energetic and shrewdest politician of recent times (in this neck of the woods fighting for him and fighting for his own prestige? How, on the other hand, can a man who cares anything for his party, vote for another man who has demonstrated that he does not care anything for the party which he asks to nominate him. He has announced that he Is independent. He has opposed state, local and national candidates of the republican party when he so desired. Here is a man who has made personal enemies of most of the men who have worked hardest for the party; what is his chance to keep the men in line for him when it comes to election time?

Here are two men both manifestly incapable of doing anything but injury to the party and neither one can help the party by being nominated. If the party is going to affiliate itself with the democratic party iu helping it to get the next election what is the use of having a primary at all? Why not join forces with tho democrats and say that we want a democratic mayor? Announce to all the rest of the republicans of the state that we have no man here in the republican party whom republicans will nominate because he can be elected, nominated because he will get the support of the whole party. Nor a man who can be nominated because he will he efficient in office. Also announce that you do not want to hold a primary for any other purpose than to aid the democrats. And you will have announced that republicans here want to help the democrats if you nominate Zimmerman, who is distrusted by enough of his party to defeat him. We have shown a few days ago that Gordon has broken his word. Is he a man to be trusted? How many real republicans will standby the man who has not of late years taken the trouble either to stand by them or to keep his word to them? How many will stand by their party. Do you think either of those men will aid the republican party? THERE MAY COMB A DAY IN THE COURSE OP A FEW YEARS WHEN THE REPUBLICANS OF THIS CITY WILL REGRET EVERY VOTE CAST FOR EITHER GORDON OR ZIMMERMAN. EVERY VOTE CAST FOR EITHER MAN MEANS A VOTE FOR THE DOWNFALL OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THIS DISTRICT.

You can nominate a man who can be elected. You can nominate a man who will not be a reproach to this party' nor to Richmond. v . f You can nominate a man who can be trusted. You can nominate a man who will unite the party. But on the other hand, you can (if you vote for either Zimmerman or Gordon) play into the hands of the grateful democrats.

Demagogue4:

A Demagogue? No, you can; look It up yourself in the dictionary In plain American is is a ward four-flusher who tries to land the bouquet by handing out dope about being the Peepul's friend. He is the wise guy that throws tle bluff that 'he is the inventor of all the good stuff on the planet and that he is responsible for the wages in the pay envelope. If the guy has ever broken his word or handed his pals a lemon he tries to blame the other fellow. He resembles the good and great George Washington on the ground that nobody ever caught him in a lie. Otherwise it is the man who plays reform candidate till his turn comes in the mean time he is as we said in the beginning a political four-flusher. The man who never told a lie and never double crossed his friends he is the friend of everybody until he gets the job. Yes, he will promise why not the people are easy. -

Has Bennett Gordon tried to curry favor with the people! Has he ever pandered to their predjudices? Has he ever played on their ignorance? Has he ever played on their passions? Has he ever been a political agitator seeking for some private end? Has he ever sought to obtain power for the furtherance of some design? - Has he ever Invoked the "peepul" or the 'boys' with a grand stand play, so that he could get office or something he wanted in the matter of influence? , "You oan fool all the 'pee-pul (Some of the time ) But the citizens of Richmond and the republicans can answer from what they know.

rather than in blind compliance with party authority. As far as such independence has been practically manifested, it has produced little but confusion, which the counter display of party' discipline at the last has increased. Tinderbox Districts. From the Hartford Times. Many cities continue to maintain and tolerate tinderbox areas. American cities have, never taken adequate precautions to reduced the fire peril. The moral which Is impressively disclosed by the Manchester conflagration has been disclosed many times before, but it has never been properly heeded. Both Ravenous. From the New York Herald. Scientists of the Museum of Natural History are building up from a set of teeth a shark of the Devonian age sixty feet Jong.

It is now the hour tor the senate insurrec tionists to gird up their loins. Multiplication of Horrors. From the New York Sun.

MAKE IT HARDER FOBJOGITIVES Provision Made to Defer Ex penses of Officer Sent to Return Them to County for Prosecution. TO PROVE BENEFICIAL TO LOCAL OFFICIALS More Difficulties Expected in Presenting Pleas of Insanity for Prisoners Held for Murder. ! It will not be so easy for persons who have committed a crime to leave Wayne county and find refuge in other parts of the state in the future. An act of the last legislature provides for the expenses of an officer of the law incurred in apprehending a pris oner being borne . by ? tae county. There have been refugees from this county .escape prosecution altogether, because of the lack of a fund to defray the expense of the officer, if one were sent for him. Personal Contributions. Parties interested in the prosecu tion have been called upon to bear the expense and if they did not care to do so the guilty one escaped trial. In other instances, the authorities have been known to make personal contributions Ao secure the necessary amounts. This practice has been unfair to the authorities who were interested in enforcing the law rather than the apprehension of escaping prisoners. But in the future the petty thief, embezzler and wife deserter cannot expect immunity by such an easy route as that provided by the railroad train. The New Law. Under the new law, it is made the duty of the judge of the court to ap point an agent to go after such offenders as soon as a requisition is is sued for his return. The officer who makes the trip will.have his expenses paid, Including any reasonable expenses incurred in the capture of the prisoner in the county, state or country to which he has fled.. The recent legislature made a number of changes in the criminal statutes and TanotheiT or the laws passed will make insanity pleas in murder cases much less popular than in the past, for under the new law the insane criminal will be confined in a colony for the criminal insane until the expiration of his term, if not cured In the meantime, and as long afterward as his mental cqpdition may exist. If he recovers in the meantime he will be transferred to the penal departTHE AUTO Ml THE AUTO MJ

Henry Clews Reviews The Business of The Past Week

New York, April IT. Speculation for the rise has been more active and at times a decidedly buoyant feeling was displayed in the stock market. Easy money, increasing activity of business and lessened anxiety regarding tariff legislation were the main influences ct work. Of these cheap money was of course the most important. Idle funds are accumulating and bankethave extreme difficulty in finding satisfactory employment for deposits left in their charge. While such ease has its encouraging features, especially as any good borrower can now secure ample funds for legitimate purposes, still there is the double danger of either unduly stimulating speculation or fostering an imprudent granting of credit; two evils that would surely Invite unpleasant consequences later on. At the moment, however, an optimistic tone prevails in Wall street which Is being skillfully encouraged by market leaders. Europe is also taking part, especially London, where money Is unusually easy, and the prevalent disposition seems to favor speculation in American securities. On this side of the Atlantic the ease in money is of course intensified by our currency system making it impossible to call in a sufficient amount of notes in case of such redundancy as now exists. Nevertheless, with an elastic currency system even at this time money would inevitably be cheap, that being a univer sal condition in all the world's financial centers because of the general inactivity of trade. The demand for monetary accommodations has declined in all parts of the world, and this is the main reason for low interest rates. The large increase in gold ment of the prison for the serving of his term. Task for Lawyers, Thus it will be necessary for a plea of insanity to prove to the satisfaction of a jury that the murderer was insane at the time of the commission of the crime, but between this time and the trial recovered his sanity. This, according to lawyers, is one of the most difficult feats known to the man who practices criminal law. Another change in criminal practice touching the trial of cases, was made. Under this change the defense may make Its opening statement immediately following the opening statement of 4he prosecuting attorney, or may, at its option, postpone this until after the state closes its case in chief. The argument used in favor of allowing the statement of the defense to follow that of the state immediately has been that in very long trials, such as murder trials, it is proper that the de fense should have, the jury hear the case oL the state with a view to the defense to be offered, so that the jury will not make up its mind before the defense has an opportunity to offer anything. The remaining most important change in the criminal statutes pro vides penalties of from five to fourteen years for highway robbery and assault to rob, and life Imprisonment on third conviction for either of these offenses.

supply has had something to do with this condition, but it remains to be seen whether the present supply of gold will be excessive when the world's trade regains normal proportions and the Increased consumption for the arts are taken Into consideration. In business circles there are continued signs of revival. This is particularly true of the building trades, in which there is much activity In the erection of large buildings resulting

from cheap money, lower raw mater ials and increased efficiency of labor. There is also much activity In the structural department of the steel in dustry. The railroads are now placing orders more freely, and it is not improbable that April will be a record breaking month in structural material orders. Of course, prices are exceedingly low and in many cases profit has been reduced to a minimum. As a result economies are being enforced in every direction, sometimes by lessening the force, sometimes by lowering wages. Another sign of activity Is shown in the large purchases for wool by manufacturers who see ord ers ahead. The cotton industry is also In satisfactory condition: the retail dry goods trade is becoming more active, and on all sides signs are multiplying that we have turned the corner and that better times are ahead. It is not to be supposed that the period of readjustment is ended that must go on; because in many cases prices of commodities are still upon too high a plane. But the lesson is being tought that prosperity is possible upon a lower basis, a condition which is really more desirable because more stable and also more equitable then the necessities of life can be had at more reasonable cost. The tariff question is now out of the way as a stock market factor, and cannot even disturb general trade very severely, as no harmful changes in the schedules are expected. GIRL IS SLAYER.
