TiiE NEW TARIFF SCHEDULE.
Tho ways and means committee
of congress has formulated a new
tariff bill which is far better tbau
wo ever expected they would do.
The bill makes a sweeping reduc¬
tion in tho tariff charges, while the
free list has been largely increased.
In fact, it is emphatically a tariff*
for*revenue*only bill, which accords
perfectly with the democratic idea
of tariff reform.
The bill will be introduced in con¬
gress in a few days, and then the
fight will commence over its adop*
lion.
No doubt the hill will bo changed
in many ot its features, but we are ,
now satisfied more than ever that
the reduction in the tariff charges is
going to bo much larger than we
bad ever hoped to get from con*
gress.
The list, as it has been agreed
upon by the cnmmitleo aud publish*
ed, is certainly all that tbe most
atdent tariff reformer ci>uId desire.
The free list bus been largely in*
creased by the articles mostly need,
ed in all industrial pursuits and do
mesitc economy. This is a most
wise measure, and will result in
great good to all classes of our peo¬
ple.
Tber. is no doubt but tbe commit
tee has done us duty to the country,
in its preparation of a “reform tariff
list,’’ and has done it well.
Now it remains for congress to do
the balanco.
If tho bill is passed as it lias been
prepared, we may well congratulate
ourselves upon the fact that the
country ha* at last been placed upon
the road to prosperity.

The Columbia’s Radius of Action.
It has Wen claimed that the
cruiser Columbia can carry sufficient
coal to enable her to steam 26,240
nautical miles at 10 knots speed
without recoaling, This claim, sup*
ported by the official publications of
the navy dopartm -nt, has been
widely puplished, and is pointed to
with considerable exultation by ads
miners of that fine vessel, says the
Boston Herald.
As a matter of fact, however, she
can do noihing of tbe kind. In
practice her radius of action would
bo little more than one-third of the
distance claimed.
Iler coal capacity is 2,000 tons. It
bus been assumed that her coal con*
sumption at 10 knots would bo but
18} ions per diem, and at this rate
W'»uld enable her to steam 109 days
or 26,240 nautical miles. But the
cruisers Philadelphia and Baltimore,
which are smaller vessels, and prov¬
ided with the same class of enginos
aud boilers, consume 35 tons per
diotn at 10 knots. Ii is almost a
therefore, that the larger
Columbia w ould use up at least 50
tons including the 5 ions needed for
the d) names, pumps, etc.
At the rate of 50 tons per diem,
2,000 tons of coal would Iasi nut 40
days, and at ten knots speed 240
nautical miles are made in one day
and 9,600 in 40 days.
The Columbia’s probable radius of
action, therefore, instead of being 26-
24 0, is realy not over 9,600 nautic.l
miles.
It inay-^d of interest lo know, in
addition, that tbe Columbia, fit fob
speed cotiMimes, each day ab< ut 570
tons of c ml, which would cornspond
to a radius of action at full,spied of,
roughly, but 1.900 nautical miles

For about five years 1 was a great sufferer
from neuralgia in my face anti eyes, and hemor
age of the kidneys, which caused a great deal
if bio <d to pass from them, causing me to suf¬
fer a great rleal from its effects, as well as the
daily attacks of neuralgia, A friend induced
me to take King’s Royal Germetuer. I took
ten bottles of it, and have not had an attack of
either since. I used the Germetuer in 1890.
I here are many who will testify to this.

What People Say
of
Wright’s Beecbwood Cough Mixture.
Here is what Charles W. Wilson
writes from Decatur, Ga. : “I have
need two or three bottles of Wright’s
Beech wood Cough Syrup, anil it ha.* al¬
most «*.;,rely riLvved a voiuti that lo
Mr. Thomas J. Shields *a\s ; “1 have
ustd “Beeehwood Cough Mixture in
mv family with most satisfactory results,
and consider it -uperior to any other
cough medicine I ever used. I cheer*
fully recoin need it to anv one suffering
with throat or iun/Uotrnle.
A popular Oxford man says: “J wish
to add my 1 ex.i■lotjjal to the excellency
of J. A. iVrijeht’s Beeebwood Congii

taking all the remedies f>r this trouble
for over a month, without, anv relief, I
procured one bottle of this ’med cine
and was immediately Believed. After
using for 5 days was comiiletelv cured.
Mr. W. J. F„rrow, of Porteidale savs:
“I have suffered with a troublesome

Mr. R. L. Guffin says that he was
troubled with a cough and bemorhiige
from the lungs for four years, and used
