The arithmeticians that have been fig-
uring on the Dingley bill state that the
rate f taxation on dutiable goods under
Ibis bill will approximate an average of
S7.03 per cent. Under the present Wilson
law the average rate last year wa 39.0-1
per cent Under the McKinley law the
average rate wa 49.58 per cent. The
Dingley bill will be 17 per cent higher
thaa under the present law and 8 er
cent higher than under the McKinley
tariff. It is a necesaary condition of the
republican party to raise taxes. They be-
lieve the more taxes a man baa to pay

RESTRAINT OK TRADE.
The more the decision of the supreme
court of the United States Is considered
the wider and more fur-sweeping are its
apparent effects against the restraint o
trade by all kinds of combinations and a
socintioiiH. In the effort to strike at gren
corHirationH the little fellow have been
involved in the toil of the law. Every
association of men that combine together
to uphold prices and monopolize business
is according to the decision of the su
preine court a violation of the law that
prohibits the restraint of trude. An ns
socintion of railroad men for that pu
pose are affected under this decision equal
ly us poteutiully as the railroad company
itself.
One of the mosi powerful association
having the largest influence on prices and
intended to monopolize business in th
hand of its skilled member 1 the typo
graphical union that I liable under th
decision to dissolution. The object Is to
keep up a high standard of typographic
excellence to fix prices and to prohibit
all but the members of the union from
doing any kind of typographical work
The Typographical union which has ho
elevated the business of printing by fur
nishing more responsible compositors fix
lng the price of composition and insuring
work only to members of the nnion
the decision of the majority of one of the
supreme court is enforced must throw
up the sponge and dissolve or suffer the
I unities; for it is restraining trade by
fixing prices all over the county and ex
eluding from printing offices all but union
printers. Evidently corporations of all
kind have struck a snug and there will
be a mighty upheaval of protest against
the luw and a demand for its repeal
unfortunately when a combination of
cupitaliMts is struck by this luw all other
combinations used for the restraint
trade go down with the same fatul blow
The four dissenting justices of the su
prenie court point out the w ide and di.tas
trotis effects of tho decision. The dis
scntlng opinion declares that "the inter
pretation of the statute therefore
which holds that reasonable agreements
ore within its purview makes it embrace
every perceivable organization or combl
nation of the luborer to benefit his condi
tion either by obtaining an increase of
wages or a diminution of his hours of In
bor." So that it will be seen thnt accord
lng to the opinion of four of the learned
judges of the court we have not given too
broad a meaning to the decision in alleg-
ing that it applies to legitimate lubor or
gauizutlons. The decision would be ruin
otis enough if it applied only to common
carriers in agreeing among themselves for
the purpose of the enforcement of the pro
visions of the interstate commerce luw
but when It with one fell swoop extends
to every organization for the legitimate
purpose of benefiting skilled lubor it is
too much to be borne and as soon as it is
fully Understood thut its sweeping pro
visions extend to this class of organiza
tions there will be the loudest and most
IMjtential demand for the repeul of the
luw thus construed by the supreme court
THE ANNIHILATION OP BIRDS
A warning hits been sounded from the
Smithsonian Institute thnt if the general
und wholesale slaughter of birds Is not
in some way checked and better protec
tion thrown nround them by game laws
In a few years we will have no birds Lut
those that have been domesticated. The
improvement in firearms nnd the cultiva
tion In the skill und the increase in the
number of sportsmen have been almost
fatal to our wild game birds. The sick
of the country as they become conva
lescent would feel this loss most seri
ously for nothing is more enticing to an
impoverished appetite than a broiled
quail snipe woodcock plover grouse or
pheusuut. A this warning comes from
most reliable source it should be heed
ed and states not having strict game
laws should enact them at once and the
states that have strict game laws should
see to it through the proper executive
officers thut these luws are more rigidly
enforced.
i.ven Dcyomi the use of birds as a
pleasant nnd wholesome food if they
were utterly extirpated just think of
what a gloomy silence "in the lone wood
nd on the mighty hill" there would be
where before we were want to hear the
melody of the feathered songsters their
glorious thrills in symphony with nature's
music chorused by the music of the
leave stirred by the winds. How lonely
ud depressing would be a Bilent wood
land with no music of the birds in their
boughs and no flashes of their silver
wings in the sunlight. Without the birds
the grnud solitude of nature would lose
half its charms and It would leave upon
the mind a deep gloom and an idea of
desolation instead of nature in her lone-
liest moods rapturous with the music of
the birds enlivened by their grace of
wing and beauty of form and color.
A COMMISSION OP TEA EXPERTS.
There never ha been a stronger and
more pressing want felt than that lately
supplied by the last congress in passing
law which went Into effect the first part
of March authorising the secretary of the
treasury to appoint a commission com
posed of a board of experts whose duty
it Is to prevent the Importation of im-
pure teas Into this couutry. We doubt
whether one-tenth of our people have
even tasted a cup of pure tea. The ras-
cally ami cunning Chinese merchants
have been. Imposing miserable shams
upon us manufactured from peach tree
nd plum tree leaves and shipped to this
couutry as pure teas. This commission of
experts if they do their duty will insure
the breakfast and tea tables of this coun-
try pure tea which Is a most delightful
nd wholesome beverage when properly
prepared but the verj best teas can be
utterly ruined by wrong boiling. The
leaves ought to be scalded and the water
or tea used immediately. If the leaves
are permitted to boil only for a few min
utes the moat acrid and unwholesome
qualities of the tea will be expressed but
tea made is the way we suggest has do
acrid taste or effect and is a most de-
lightful and refreshing beverage not only
to the sick and the aged but to the most
vigorous. If we are to get good and pure
ten it is worth while to the housewives
of this country thut they learn how to
make it as the Chinese or Japanese make
it. Our recipe may not be entirely cor-
rect but it is along thut line but there
are numerous source of information upon
the subject readily at hand to every
housekeeper.
The advance sheets of ex-rresidont
Harrison's book show thnt he has made
a vigorous attack uguinst wealthy com-
binations and that he is particularly se-
vere on the methods employed by men
of wealth to avoid the puyment of their
shure of taxe. These are well known
fucts but whnt the people of this coun-
try will expect from Mr. Ilarrison is not
merely an indictment of corporate power
and wealthy men for the avoidance of
the payment of the fair and equitable
proportion of the taxes but that he
should point out some definite and perma-
nent policy by which they shall be com-
pelled to do their whole duty in this re-
spect to the country.
These evils that have insidiously and
silently crept into state and national af-
fairs impairing the methods of enforcing
an equitable and just taxation we are
all fully aware exist. It is the remedy
for these evils thut such a man as Ben-
jumiu Harrison with his large experience
and legal acumen should furnish and
we trust he is not content in his book to
hold these avoidances up to the condem-
nation of the public but that he will orig-
inate methods of compulsory disgorge-
ment by men of wealth who have availed
of these evils or abuses to avoid their
proper burden in support of government.
THE SENATE AMENDMENTS TO THE
TREATY.
The three amendments to the arbitra-
tion treaty by the senate were not con
ceived in the spirit of statesmanship nor
according to the broud principles thnt
should characterize such a great accom-
plishment. In the first place the first
amendment was animated by the jealousy
of the senate ns to it own iniortunce
and in apparent ignorance that the con-
stitution of the United State guaranteed
the very thing thut the senate thought
proper to enact iu the amendment. The
first amendment that each agreement
under arbitration must be confirmed by
the senate is provided for in thut cluuse
of the constitution which declares that
"the president shall have power by and
with the ndviee of the senate to make
treaties" nnd which covered the very
ground proposed to be covered by the
first amendment.
The amendment which declares that
the justices of the supreme court shall
be ineligible ns arbitrators could have
been conceived in no other spirit thun
that of rivalry between two distinct
branches of the government There are
no men in the United States who are so
fully equipped in every respect by the
weight of character intellect and famil-
iarity with the laws to become arbitrators
on behalf of their countrymen1 and the
act of the senate cun not be considered
otherwise than that of petty jealousy
unworthy of statesmen.
The other amendment directed against
King Oscar of Sweden could not have
been from any other course than the fact
that he Is a king; as it is well known
thnt King Oscar is a friend and admirer
of our republican system of government
and the most learned nnd liberal of all
kings. In every vny he seemed to be
suitable to fill the place of chief arbitra
tor; his kingship ensuring permanency
and his well known character insuring
a just arbitration In all matters submit
ted to him. But the senate had to do
something even if it amounted to noth
lng and we suppose thnt the amendments
will have very little effect to narrow the
scope of the treaty.

Galveston Tex. March 29. (Special.)
Sunday's Wow was the hardest since
1895. The wind reached a velocity of
48 miles an hour.
At Fort Point on the east of the island
where the government forts are under
construction the chief damage from Sun-
day's storm resulted. A harge forty feet
long used in .doing some filling for the
construction of a mortar battery was
broken from its anchorage. The crew
were rescued by the life-saving corps.
The barge was carried against a trestle
built from the jetty railway to the site
of the fort. The barge can be floated
again without much difficulty. A large
lot of lumber for the temporary work at
the fort was floated off and is scattered
along the jetties. About 2000 cubic
yards of sand which had been put into
the foundations of the mortar battery was
washed away. Altogether the loss to
mortar battery contractors will be be-
tween $1000 and $1500.
A short distance from the mortar bat-
tery the government is constructing a gun
battery. This work was not in shape to
withstand a heavy blow and was consid-
erably damaged. Two heavy iron der
ricks had been erected with which to
handle the cement for the concrete foun-
dations of the fort. These derricks were
held by heavy wire guy lines attached to
anchors buried in the sand. As the wa
ters rushed over the Bite it undermined
the sand anchors and the derrick fell.
Other temporary works were carried
away and Maj. Miller estimates the
money loss at about $1000. He said it
was lucky that the blow came on Sunday
when there were no men at work on the
works because if it had occurred when
a full force was employed its suddenness
would have likely resulted in some loss
of life. In addition to the loss of money
mere win necessarily result a delay in
me worn.
Maj. Miller estimates that the storm
will put his work back two months.
These works are right on the beach and
even without any serious high winds such
a high tide as was up yesterday would
naturully do some damuge. The tide rose
about four feet above the normal and
was the highest experienced here for
some time ihe jetties were uninjured
Ihe trestle was not hurt although the
waves uushed over it in many places.
A small schooner is ashore on Pelican
island but can be gotten off with little
loss. Little dumuge wus done in the city.
DROWNED DURING THE STORM.
Mlaa Smith and R. 8. Thompson Went
Down In a Raging Stream.
Gnnesville Tex. March 29. (Special.)
Miss Ruby Smith daughter of Alderman
Smith of this city and It. S. Thompson
were drowned yesterday in a branch seven
miles west of Gainesville. Miss Smith
had gone to Era to secure a class in music
and Mr. Thompson was returning home
with her when the accident occuerred.
ltesidents near the place where the par-
ties were drowned saw the buggy enter
the stream. It disappeared owing to the
heavy rain at the time the strong wiud
and the swollen stream and the bodies
could not be rescued last night and no-
body knew who the unfortunates were.
This morning the search was renewed
with the result of finding Miss Smith's
body about 300 yards below the place
where tho buggy was driven and fur-
ther down the body of Thompson was
found. Miss Smith wore a watch with
her name engraved on it and the watch
had stopped at 4 o'clock. Thompson's
body was nauly torn as it passed through
several wire fences before lodging.
Miss Smith's remains were brought to
this place and are now resting at the
house of her parents' while the body of
Mr. ihompson was taken to bis home in
Era.

was much greater than first supposed.
Kings creek near town is higher than
it has been for years several farms
along its bunks being under water. The
track on the Texas Midland road has
been damaged both north and south of
town. A. large force of men are now at

Great Damage Near Grandvlew.
Grandview Tex. March 29. (Special.)
The heaviest rain here since the Au-
gust flood of 1887 fell here yesterday and
it is claimed by some that it is even great-
er than that. It commenced about 9 a. m.
and continued almost incessantly until 5
p. m. Bridges neur Grundview have all
been washed away and farms are badly
damaged and the railroad track is dam-
aged. It is impossible to tell just how
great the damage is as no one hus come
from the country us yet to report.
A Five-Inch Rainfall.
Farmer's Branch Dallas County Tex.
March 29. (Special.) The rain storm of
yesterday was very severe here beginning
early in the morning aud continuing until
after night. Some report the amount of
rainfall at five inches. Highland crops
are badly washed and all the flat land
was submerged. About two miles of
the track of the Henrietta branch of the
Missouri Kansas and Texas was washed
out and all trains are late. The local
to Dallas did not go down at all. Coun-
try ronds and bridges were not damaged
materially. A great deal of corn will
have to be planted again.

DAMAGE AT WACO.
East
Waco Badly Flooded No Loss
of Life Reported.
Waco. Tex. March 29. (Special.)
nen the people ot vvaco awoke this
morning they found themselves on a riv
er navigable for ocean steamers in fact.
ships of the largest size might make their
way many miles above Waco. Ihe BraZ'
os was navigable for ocean craft as far
as it goes. Meamers can navigate en
the present rise from Velasco to the Clear
rork.
There were no deaths from drowning
in the vicinity of aco but several nar
row escapes oeeured.
Jn east Waco the flood was more ue-
structive than in any other portion of the
city owing to the fact that the eastern
bank is much the lowest. The portion
of Waco on the east side of the Brazos
river is the Fifth ward and about a third
of that ward was more or less submerged.
On that side of the river are the freight
and passenger depots of the Waco and
Xorthwestern Railroad and several cot-
ton compresses oil mills and a number
of small factories. The depots and oil
mills the factories and one of the com
presses are in the submerged blocks. Most
of the dwellings in the flooded districts
were occupied by colored people. There
was some loss to the merchants in the
Fifth ward.
The Katy Suffered Greatly.
Denison. Tex.. March 29. (Snecinl.-'
The Katy has suffered more loss in north
Texas since yesterday morning than ever
