A Tramp's Story
"Yo? say you were onoe the editor
of a newspaper?"
"Yes, lady, it was a very bright
little sheet, if I do say it."
''How does it happen, then, that
you are forced to ask at baok doors
for meals?"
"It is merely a case of the irony
of fate. I had a printer who wsb
near-sighted and one afternoon
when lie made up the paper he got
a bedding notice and a murder trial
raided, so that, after describing the
eostume at the bnde, it said the condemned
man almoat oollapced when
aeutenee was prooounoad."?Chioago

Tariff Flans v
It is in a very happy mood that <3
the Democratic party finds itself at r
this important juncture ef its history.
It is more nearly agreed in n
general policies thaa perhaps ever fi
before, oertainly more united on a n
paramount issue than at any time I
since Tilden reorganized it. There u
is general agreement for a tariff for ri
revenue, and in all probability the
House of Representatives will send
to the Senate, soon after it organizes
next winter, a series of bills reform- ^
' ?
ing the tariff hy schedules. One of
these bills will be for placing all ?
food necessities on the free list, and 111
the other sohedules will be reformed 81
n the basis of revenue-producing, ^
instead of ths plan of the present 'e
tariff of protecting the trusts and 61
oombines. The object of not fol- tc
lowing the old plan of a general
tariff bill is hoped' that many insur- P'
gent Republican Senators will vote tc
tor some of the separate bills who p
would not favor a general revision hi
bill. W
