I believe that if the republicans had been more liberal on the money question they would have won this fight. Ido not think that the democrats will dare attempt a revision of the tariff on the lines indicated by them in the campaign. If they meant what they told the people during the campaign they could not offer any excuse for a failure to meet in special session soon after the 4th of March and begin the whittling down of the tariff. I do not think, however, that they will have a special session. What I expect them to do is to pass a few special tariff bills which will not materially injure the McKinley law, just so that they may say that they have revised the tariff, but leave the general protec- tive policy as it is in the main and claim credit for the good result which are bound to come from that poliey. In other worde, they wil! not change the Conditions, but will ride in on the tide of fortune which will be due to our policies, and they will claim the credit.

Accord- ing to the Libre Parole the deceased had been § | asuitor for the hand of a general's daughter, | but having no fortune his proposal had been | rejected by the father. He then set ont for Africa in the hope of distinguishing himself on active service. On returning to the coast some time afterward he was informed that bis in- tended bride was married. He thereupon com- mitted suicide in despair. Lieut. de Segonzac, the deceased's comrade, who brought news of his death, in an interview resentative of the (i!

He pro- | tested, however, against the insinuation that he had ever wished to avoid paying Mme. Qui-| querez a visit, adding that he had seen her sev- eral times since his return to France. He also declared that it was impossible that any papers tain length of time before the people pass | judgment upon it. The result of placing the Mills bill before the public in 1888 and the (cKinley bill in 1892 was a defeat for the party which enacted them. We should not be caught in the same trap this time. If we can meet the latter part of March, or the Ist of April, and decide upon the changes in the tariff, so that they can go into effect by the Ist of September, the bill will be operative fourteen months be- fore the next election. “I do not believe a horizontal cut in the tariff is necessary, as there are thousands of items which will bave very little effect.
