No Reason for Delay.
It is just as well that the Democratic
majority of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee should have decided to refuse a
hearing to the merchants, manufactur-
ers, and capitalists who wish to protest
against the Wilson bill. They have
evidently made up their minds to press
the measure to a final passage without
reference to intelligent public senti-
ment in the premises, and it would be
simply wasting the time and money and
playing upon the anxieties of the par-
ties in question to let them argue
against a foregone conclusion.
By all means let the bill be hurried
on its way. Gentlemen who are capag
ble of believing that the Wilson tariff
is a redemption of the platform prom-
ises upon the strength of which the
Democratic party came into power a
year or so ago are not likely to be in-
fluenced by any amount Of reason and
remonstration. The only protest that
can reach them is that which the coun-
try will formulate at the polls next No-
vember, and meanwhile they must have
their way. Nothing the merchants,
manufacturers, railroad men, miners,
sugar growers, or anybody else might
say would be of any avail at all. Agra-
rianism, class prejudice, blindness, and
folly are on top, for the moment, at
least, and the Wilson bill is the ark of
their covenant. Let us have quick ac-
tion and a speedy issue of the contro-
versy. ‘
Straightout Democracy.
Mr. McLaurin, the new senator from
Mississippi, appears to be a democrat of
the good, old-fashioned brand—the
kind of a democrat who believes in
straight party politics, honest fulfill-
ment of platform pledges, and total ab-
stinence from Mugwumpery. He thinks
that Republicans should hold ofliceun-
der a Republican administration and
Democrats under a Democratic dispen-
sation. And no doubt he would ap-
prove, says the Washington Post, in
case a Dodo ever became President, of
having a government conducted exclu-
sively by Dodos. He thinks that when
a party comesinto power on the strength
of an explicit declaration of principles
it should at once set about the practical
illustration of the principles to which it
stands committed. The campaign prom-
ise ofa tariff for revenue only should
be fulfilled to the strict letter of the
compact. The ante-election boast
should be made good in the hour of pos-
session and authority.
'lhe new Senator from Mississippi
does not approve of a tariff for reve-
nue only which ignores such revenue-
prodncing articles as sugar, for in-
stance. He understands perfectly that
"the act of putting sugar on the free list
means the deliberate renunciation of
some $70,000,000 of annual income. He
is not an advocate of protection pure
and simple, but he knows that govern-
ments cannot be nourished on air, and
he is in favor of raising the necessary
fund by the simplest, most direct, and
most economical expedients. And Mr.
McLaurin is eminently correct in his
position.
of revenue are the best, since the fewer
the articles on the list the simpler the
machinery of collection and the cheap-
er its successful operation. Every ad-
dition to that list increases the expenses
of the government and complicates the
problem of realization. If ,the whole
income required could be obtained
from one single source so much the
better for the Treasury and the people.
The more widely we depart from that
standard the more costly and complex
, becomes the equation.
Sugar, therefore, should form the
very corner-stone of our financial struc-
ture. The proceeds from a duty on
sugar are collected at the custom-houses
they go entirely to the government,
andthey represent a minimum of ex-
pense and hardship to the people. The
citizen does not sensibly feel a tax lev-
ied at the port of entry. He groans
and chsfes under the tax wrung from
his personal pocket by the official who

finds that for the insignificant fraction
he saves by reason of free sugar he has
to pay in the precious coin of his free-

.Charles Britto Gets Drunk and
Demolishcs the Piano.
Sent to Bridgeport Jall by the Jus—'
tice.
Charles Britta, a loafer well known
in the police court, left his home at 19
Monroe street, South Norwalk, yester-
day morning and went to Stamford
where he visited a club room and spent
the day in playing cards and drinking.
After he had become thoroughly drunk
he purchased a bottle of liquor and
took the train for South Norwalk. Ar-
riving at the depot he alighted and
staggered to his home. When he
reached the house he found his wife
playing on the piano. and on her refus-
ing to stop he grabbed the lamp from
011’ the piano and threw it out of the
house. He then went down cellar and
procuring an axe came up and demol-
ished the piano. Word was at once
sent to the police and Britto was ur-
rested and locked up. _
When the case was called before Jus-
tice Barrett this morning, Mrs. Britto
appeared and related the story of her
husband’s conduct and cruelty. They
have four children and Mrs. Britto
Works and supports them besides her
drunken husband, who, according to
his own testimony, has not done any-
thing for their support other than work-
ing at odd jobs for about ten weeks
during the last fifteen months. Dur-
ing the trial Britto constantly threat-
ened his wife, and was ordered to keep
still by the court. It also leaked out
during the trial that Britto had been
arrested for drunkenness and to keep
him from going to jail his wife had
borrowed the money and paid his fine,
but Britto has never had the manhood
to repay the loan.
After giving Britto a severe lecture
on his conduct Justice Barrett fined
him $7 and costs and gave him thirty
days in jail in‘ addition. Britto ap-
pealed the case and went out in com-
pany with officer Pennington to get a
bondsman, but failing in this he with-
drew his appeal and was taken to jail.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those present at Court that Britto
should have received at least ninety
days for his conduct.

the woman with the naturally wavy
hair the envy of her less fortunate sis-

One head I have in mind, as I know
that the looks that adorn it are as
straight as the proverbial string, yet
when they are dressed for the opera
the result is that of a wavy mass Of ab-
solutely curly hair. The girl in ques-
tion has an oval face audishe divides
her hair, not by a great distinct part,
but just enough for the world to see
that it is divided, and forms a becom-
ing frame. It is waved in deep but not
set sections. The, entire back is done
in curls and then combed out and car-
ried to the top of the head, where it is
coiled in a soft knot held in place by
two diamond Mercury wings. A few
stray locks are permitted to wander
over the white forehead, and who would
for a moment suppose that all this
crinkle was the work of art rather than
nature. What a set of frauds we women

Two Girls-Planned to Blow Up a Jail ands
' Courthouse. I
LINCOLN, Ills, Feb. l2.——Late last even-
ing much excitement was caused by‘ news
of an unsuccessful .rhcugh well arranged
plan tolblow up the jail of Logan county,
located here, having ’for its purpose ' the
liberation of a notorious local criminal un-
der sentence of six years to Joliet prison
and awaiting removal thereto on the mor-
row. The parties implicated in the plot
are Arthur Goodpastcur, Ida Shells and
Georgia \Villiams.
Late at night three sticks of dynamite,
with fuses and caps, were purchased with
the intention of being: passed in to the jail
by the Shells woman to Goorlpasteur, who
had repeatedly declared before and since
his convictiontliut he would die before he
would go to the penitentiary, having no
concern as to the consequences for himself
and a dozen other criminals and the Shel:-
iif’s family. ‘
Luckily for 7 all concerned Goodpaste'ur
was imprisoned in a. cell as a precaution-
ary measure, it being feared that some
sort of an attempt at rescue Would be
made. The jail premises were visited at
midnight, but'the arrangement to pass out
through a window a string to which the
dynamite was to be' attached, and hauled
up failed. Daylight investigation showed
a woman’s footprints around the jail and
a ladder Feady for use. During the after-
noon a young man in the company of the
girls ascertained their plans and told the
police. The arrest of the girls followed.
The dynamite was found at the home of
one, and when the prisoners were locked
up the Williams girl confessed her com-
pllcity in the plot and added further that

tion for a new trial was under considera-
tion.
