a SS The Woman in the Case. When it reported from Washing- ton that the man selected for Am- bassador to Germany cannot be ap- pointed because his wife and the wife of a Senator from his State are bitter enemies, and that an Ohio candidate for Assistant Secretary of State, though favored by the Presi- dent, is debarred for a similar reason, we have a reminder of the good old times when pretty Peggy Eaton wrecked Jackson’s Cabinet and changed the course of history. There was nothing eurprisng about it then or is there now. For whether Dr. Lyman Abbott believes in Genesis and the Garden of Eden, or not, it is a fact that lovely woman has been changing the course of his tory since the very beginning of it. In the current number of one of the magazines Mrs. Lincoln is rep resented asa motherly, unsophisti- cated little Western housewife, shrinking on her way to Washington from the criticism of “city folks’ As a matter of fact she was a woman of the kind who make men great. Before marrying Mr. Lincoln she said that she intended to make him President,and shedid. His biograph er and best friends intimate that she prices, that it will thus take money | from all the people to distribute it | among a few, that taxation is a bur-| den and not a blessing, that a pro- | tective tariff encourages pernicious and dangerous extravagance, teaches | the people to look to the Govern- ment for the promotion of all kinds| of unprofitable enterprises which | pelling the consumera of the United States to pay exorbitant prices for their products, and corrupts the public mind and the public’s ser- vents. But the most striking and valua- ble part of the report is that which shows how trusts are built up by protection, which is avowedly based upon the theory tbat competition should be restricted. It is perfectly evident, and experience has proven it to the country’s costs, that men who “have secured themselves against foreign competition by the favor of Congress” will certainly se- cure themselves against domestic competition by voluntary combina- tions among themselves.” The minority report is 2 vain pro- Four Will Lose Their Jobs, Washington, D. C., March 19.— The twelve Republicans from Mis souriin the last Congress secured six subordinate places at the Capitol. Now that the Republican represen- tation from the State has dwindled} to three members, four of these sub-! ordinate places are to be taken away | Republicans who are sure to hold their places in the Fifty-tifth Con- gress are Noah Hawk of Willow Springs, assistant sergeant at arms, | and G. H. Reichard of Franklin county, clerk in the office of the sergeant at arms. The four who are slated to go are Kellar, Iry and Turner, Capitol policemen, and Col. Snow of Kansas City, a Capitol guide. These places are to be given to new members from other States. O. R Winslow of Marshfield and F. E. Kellogg of Rich Hill want to be collector of revenue at Kansas City. Their applications for this profitable place were filed to-day. \To Increase Injustice and Decrease Trade. | New York World. | It it announced from Washing. | ton that the Dingley committee has | deceded to cut the raw material free | list as low as possible and to adopt | specific duties throughout.

But, as every one knows, Mrs. Lincoln's temper was a result of disease, and she is not to be blamed for it. She is far from being the only woman of her time who did more to make history than most men. The wife of Androw Johnson,who taught him to writs, was another President maker. It was a woman who sent Samuel! Houston into exile when he was Governor of Tennessee, 80 doing won the battle of San Ja cinto and freed Texas. Everybody remembers what Mrs. Logan did for her “John.” ‘here are Senators in Washington who are there because their wives were ambitious for of- ficial life at the capitol.

The politiciens filled the Kentucky Ebuse of every event in our history that is} nistako of the tariff pushers is in long before the joint assembly was worth remembering there is nearly always at least one woman, and sometimes dozens and hundreds of them, furnishing the real motive power for the springs of action. Paris is often wrong, but it is not so when it tells us that to explain the case we must find the woman in it. —New York World. An Act to Punish Consumers. New York World. The principal articles on which the Dingley bill makes heavy in- creases of taxation are wool and woollena, sugar, flax, cotton and other textiles, chemical, cutlery and glassware, spirits and tobacco. The total increase in all the sched ules is estimated by Mr. Dingley at $112,000,000 a year on the basis of the importations for last year, so levied as to fall with its heaviest in- cidence on consumption. Thus we have an increase of $25 000,000 on wool and woollens, leyied nalast Summer. But it will be heeded by the people, and will have its effect two years hence. It Will Look Queer. Cincinnati Enqairer. What is the House of Reprecenta tives going to do while the Senate is leisurely debating the tariff bill? 1t will have a queer look for over three hundred and fifty statesmen to be twirling their thumbs while the House is in session, and adjourning every third day to keep from doing and by| something.

In nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the digestive organs. If you can restore them to a healthy condi- tion you will stop the waste, put on new flesh and cause them to feel bet- ter in every way, The food they eat will be digested and approptiated to the needs of the system, and a nor- mal appetite will appear.

Washington, D ©, Mareh 24.— There is more to the bill repealing the civil service law presented by Senator Allen today than would at first appear. It will pass the Senate jendiless litigation if 1t should be@me nillions on tobacco. Perhaps tobacco and whiskey are taxed enough already--as wool and clothing certainly are. But these figures show how thoroughly the beyond question and the House is ripe for its passage there. In spite of the bar against general legislation amajority of the Hous3 members Dingley committee has disregarded every principle of sound economy in its anxiety to please campaign con- tributors and to eatisfy the clamor of selfishness. If the members of the committee would call the bill “An act to im- pose penalties on consumers and to cut down our export trade,” they would come much nearer defining it than they do in their present title. | Democratic View of the Dingley Bill. | New York Journal. } Seldom has there been a more | cogent, clear and convincing exposi- As was expected when the militia | erative powers to withstand the are strongly in favor of passing this especial measure.
