Wisi differences of opinion may arise concerning various features of the Underwood tariff bill, there oan be no gainsaying it keeps the essential promise of the Dem- ocratic party to take the heavy burden of Federal taxation off the necessaries of life. The enactment of the bill as reported may not materially leween | the cost of living, but it will et any rate leave to the law of supply an@ demand in the prices of foodstuff and clothing a larger meesure of freedom than has been known in this country since the Republican | party made itself the champion of plutocracy and of privilege. ! It is something more, however, than the keeping of a campaign | pledge. It gives promise of the opening of a new epoch in oar na-| tional development. In that respect it comes in responee to & public sentiment broader than party and more lasting then campaign enthn- | siasms. The Payne tariff insulted the nation, rained the administra- tion and wrecked the party that made it. The Underwood tariff | brings cheer to the people, honors the administration and strengthens Democracy for future service. oe —- THE QUESTION IN BOSTON. OSTON has a law regulating woman's ancient amd honorable B way of wearing a het pin. So has New Jersey. Texas hes one under consideration. But little does Boston or Massa- chusetts generally give heed to what other places do or leave undone. Her hat pin law is her own. She alone knoweth her sorrow in it. Tt appears the law forbids a woman to go about the streets or other pyblic places with an unmuffied hat pin extending more than half an inch beyond the crown of the hat. But whet is the crown of a woman’s hat as dittinguished from the rim, brim, border, decora- tion, adornment, and other part, parcel and portion thereof? The Police Commissioner is reported to have already declared that no one on hie force can prove what constitutes the crown of the feminine headpiece. A newspaper woman boasts she wore extra long hat pins all the afternoon parading the shopping district and no po- lioeman questioied her. And hed he questioned her? eo MORE TROUBLES AND STILL SOME. AYOR GAYNOR’S thought of putting a stop to all naughty M dancing while allowing full freedom for the light fantastic that keeps ite steps within the wey of grace and decorum, was a happy one. What can be more blissful than to encourage inno- cent frolics by ridding the town of “lascivious orgies”? Unfortunately happiness disappears in the effort to translate thought into ection. Hotel men, alarmed by the portentous bills drawn upto provide the Mayor with legislstion euited to his will, have protested that danger lurks in them of s possible bureau of police supervision that will tend to extortion or to graft. They are in- formed the supérvision will not affect them since they have “ball-| rooms,” not public “dance halls.” The distinction ie delicate. A re- port from an officiel inspection says, however, that in hotels where pablic dancing is allowed conditions are worse than in the cafes per- mitting it. There comes, furthermore, a demand for total suppression of af- ternoon tea dancing. Some folks deem a turkey trot with tea at 5 o'clock woree than a champagne can can at midnight. So new troubles come and ancient troubles do not go. So hard it is to make everybody dance to the aame tune. And recently a citi- zen wrote to The World complaining that all publicly exposed clocks are not alike in keeping time. Will not somebody make mankind stand etill? -42— BOARD OF EDUCATION FIGURES.

No. 7—JANE EYRE. By Charlotte Bronte. | ANE EYRE, after a neglected childhood, found herself compelled to earn a living by teaching. She was shy, homely, ill dressed; and hard luck had washed out her spirits, leaving her colorless, But, beneath the apathy, she had shrewd common sense and a heart that feared nothing. Jane took a position as governess to the little daughter of a ruffanly country equire named Rochester. At first Rochester sought to bully aad browbeat Jane, as he did with every one else. But, very quietly and with- out either the cringing or the bluster that he received from others, Jane forced him to treat her with as near an approach to civility as-a man ef his sort could muster. Her calm pluck and level head even aroused in Rochester an admire- | tion that at last deepened into love. And, oddly enough, the gentle, self- ‘controlled girl returned his love. They became engaged, Rochester's roughness, his savage temper and brute jarenate appealed to Jane's strange nature as probably no normal man could @ Rave hoped to.
