A Washington telegram savs that the Senate Finance committee will give a hear ing to the manufacturers of guns and cut lery before passing finally upon that clause of the tariff which relates to their Interests. Upon the surface of things it would appear that these people had had too much hearing already, for the Senate bill increases the duties on their products to an extent quite unparalleled in the present tariff schedules The duty on the cheapest brecch-loading guns, now 35 per cent,, is increased by the Senate bill to 291 per cent ; on the next grade to 1S2 per cent ; on the next to 150 per cent ; but on the highest grade, those ' used by rich people, the duty remains un. changed or is slightly reduced. On cheap cutlery the bill is equally auclacious.as the following tabic will show : I'rcsent Proposed dutv. dutv. 5l 50j SO '55 100 3o3 35o 130 150 75 Table knives Costing ifi cents per dozen . Costing 30 cents per dozen . Pocket knives Costing 18 cents per dozen . Costing 31 cents per dozen . Costing 4S cents per dozen . Costing So cents per dozen . Costing toocents per dozen . Here again the discrimination is against the poor. Table knives costing $S per dozen are now taxed 35 per cent. The bill raises the duty only to 37 per cent. The same discrimination is made in respect of pocket knives:; the duty on four-blade knives, costing $7.20 per dozen, which is now 50 per cent., is raised only to 53 per cent. It is to be hoped that the proposed rehearing before the committee will be public. A man who would feel sensitive about baldness if it came .o him naturally, often cuts all the hair off his face with an idea that it improves his looks. Men are weak creatures. We all know that for a clean economlca administration of affairs it is better to have the revenue a spur to economy, through being a little short,than an encouragement for wastefulness bv reason of its excess.

Prices are remarkably cheap con sidering the superior quality of the carriages. A dispatch from Raleigh, North Caro lina, says : ' "Several negros were before the United States Circuit Court here on charges of intimidating men of their own race who wanted to vote the democratic ticket. Joseph Lassiler was discharged, as he did not commit the offense until after the man he approached had voted. Major Herndon was convicted of having intimi dated Reuben Gregory, and of having threatened to kill him. Judge Seymour to-day sentenced him to a term of impris onment. It is specially worthy of note that while the republicans have made many ac cusations, both before and after election ,as to the intimidation of republican voters by democrats, the only cases of intimidation which haye come before the courts have been those from Oxford in which republi can negroes threatened persons of their race who voted the democratic ticket. It is notorious that in some places negroes who dared so to vote were practically pre scribed by both men and women of their race." These reports of intimidation of democratic negroes by republican negroes come from sll parts of the South. Would It not be about the right thing to curtail the representation of Ohio or some other repub lican state for permitting this thing ? A Prompt Co. A few weeks ago Mr Burr M. Sloan insured with Mr. Oscar Marshall, agent, in the Bankers Mutual Re lief Association, home office at Portland Through an accident he crippled one of Ills hands for several days. On Dec. 10 he received acheck for $15 in full of his claim. This is a safe, reliable, home company, and parties wanting a policy in a prompt com pany should insure with Mr. Marshall in this company. Accidunts are liable to happen any day. AT DR.CUISS & SOftS. It is not very pleasant news for the can ning industry that the Senate propose to increase more than 100 per cent the tax on tin-plate. California is directly interested in free jute and free tin, and any tariff on her fresh f ruits,as an offset to a tax on those two articles, is a delusion and a snare. It is true that this state seems to have voted against free tin and jute, and it largely in creased the majority of Mr. McKennn,who especially advocated a tax on both, but for all that the fact remains that a tax on those articles is a tax on our farmers, fruit grow ers and canners,and it should be removed, rather than increased. The manufacturing districts of the East, in which the tariff scare was most strenu ously workftd, have not been affected bv it. It is not easy to tell the consequences of what never happened, but two things are as well established as anything of the kind can be one that the protected monopolists' money bought the election and the other that they would have spent just as much and just as corruptly i' Mr. Cleveland had never mentioned the tariff in his message. In ordinary table cutlery the knives,forks and spoons used by the poorest people and by the millions, now pay, thirty-five per cent. The Senate bill Increases the duty to fifty and sixty percent. Ordinary pock et cutlery and razors now ray fitly per cent. The Senate bill raises them to from sixty to one hundred and fifty per cent.,and lays the highest duty in every case on the cheap est goods. Johnny.
