JriKiK Thomas Kwixu, an aged and
well well known jurist, of i'ittsburg, who
iias been on the bench for 21 years, died

Tin: Navy department proposes to
iibatidou the policy of sending the two
leading cadets of each year's graduating
class at Annapulis to Kurope for an
advanced course of instruction, in naval
arch lecture, and will after June Dext
educate its young men for the Construc

A oUKttix.XDfc.xr of the New York
. 'rniil, writing from Ohio says: "It
doe-u't take a prophet to foresee that
the next Ohio Legislature will be Demo
cratic. I he state went for J!ryau, scale
and count against him. Dryan got 4s,
"'o more votes than the highest prior
i: ptib!ican vote IJushnt ll's ever cast.
Yet McKinley topped that by over oO,
'"". The vote showed one for every
three and three fourths per cent, of pop
ulation, with an alien streak in the state
i.f full twenty per cent. Such a vote
could not have been honestly c-t; it
was n fraud on its face."
Tut heavy Democratic gains noted in
Ohm, Illinois aud other western states
in the April elections have been supple
mented by similar gains in the May elec
tions of Indiana. Almost without ex
ception the Kepublicans showed heavy
l"sses: aud this was certainly the case
where party lines were drawn. In many
instances the Democrats made a clean
fwevp aud there is no room to doubt the
Mgniticance of the result. It means
that there is an overwhelming re-action
from last fall, and it should encourage
local lemocrats to bestir themselves.
There is enough disgust even now
among the men who were fooled last
fall, to turn the tide in our favor.
Snori.n a man be paid for doing noth
ing that is, for rendering no service in
return for value received '? In answer to
this question every sensible person
would say that he should not. There
are :."7 persons who are doing nothing
but, notwithstanding, are being paid out
of the public treasury. Thev are the re
preventatives in congress. For a month
past they have simply met twice a week
and adjourned. It is proposed that this
farce and refined system of plundering
the jx-ople shall continue for the next
three months. In justice to many of
the members, however, it should be
stated that such actiou has been taken
w utiout their desire aud in spite of their
protests. The spectacle thus presented
is a rather contradictory one as to our so
called tystein of representative rule.
The popular branch of the legislative
";wer of the government is paralyzed
and kept so at the behest of one man.
No dcsiwjt ever attempted a grosser vio
lation of the righu of the peolpe than is
being displayed by Speaker lieed.
I r has been stated upon the authority
of a member of the state legislature, says
the llarrisburs; Vntriot, that two or more
of his colleagues recently visited a cer
tain otlieialor oiliciais of a life insurance
company having its head ollioe in 'ew
York and proposed to the otlieialor ofli
cials tiiat certain legislatior not agreea
ble to the company should be defeated
upon the payment to these two or more
l"i,i.-lators the sum of $50,000, the legis
1 iters further declaring that if the com
pany fail' d to deliver this sum the un
dtsired legislation would go upon the
statute books.
Bised upon the statement of the
memlerof the legisi.iture referred to and
upon other interesting not to say start
ling facts or rumors both houses joined
in the appointment of an investigating
committee. There are now rumors that
the investigation is not to go forward, or
rather, that it is to be conducted in such
a way as to suppress rather than to dis
cover the truth and that the guilty pcr
"ris believe they have reason to feel
- that they will not Le expoR-d nor pun
i.-hed.
The committee named has taken no
action which would indicate a desire for
an immediate exposure. Nor are we
aware that its members Lave shown an
. inclination to evade their duty. But it
is proj.-r that each member should un
derstand that the people will not pa
tiently tolerate avoidance or shirking in
this serious business. The truth and
the whole truth must be got at and
Fpeedily. If there are guilty members
euch as indicated let their crime be made
known and judgment pronounced. If
PuspecteJ members are guiltless let their
glaaderers be uncovered. There is no
excuse for any longer delay. Within a
few hours the whole truth can he ascer
tained, j
One fif tne worst schedules in the
Dingier t ill is that relating to cutlery
esp- ially p-x-kct cutlery. The duties
on i.eeketknivf s range front 100 pe
rent to 30U per rxut above present du
ties nud are nearly double those in the
Mi Kiuh y bill. VVhy, you will ask, are
these duties so extraordinarily high?
And why aro tbey allowed to remain
there Both questions ae easily an
swered. It is unnecessary here to go into do
tails. Before McKinley's nomination
one of the five or six large manufactur
ers ( f pocket cutlery, who was prom
inent in the tr ast, which raised prices
an average of about per cent under
the Mckinley bill, began to hustle for
McKinley. He is said to have raised a
large sum of nifney hy passing the hat
among the 20 or 25 cutlery manufactur
ers. Just how the money was spent is
not known. It is probable, however,
that several McKinley delegates to St.
Louis owed their presence there to this
fund. The hat passer himself was one
of the very few delegates from New
York who was for McKinley first, last
aud all tho time. He was one of Han
na's most trusted lieutenants. One of
tho two favors which he is said to have
asked as compensation for his valuable
services was the fixing of the cutlery
schedule. This privilege, being an ordi
nary and expected one under the protec
tion system, was readily granted by the
power behind tho throned This is prob
ably tho whole story. It explains fully
w hy the duties are there uud why they
will stay there.
Below is given in detail some of the
effects of the proposed duties as applied
to imjortations for the last fiscal year.
Of course but few knives will be im
ported under such exorbitant duties.

The corporations and wealthy indi

tariff to increase their gains. Design
ing politicians will support it to concil

for profuse eiicnditure for the purpose
of purchasing influence in other quar
ters. Do not allow yourselves, my fel
low citizens, to be misled in this sub
ject. It is a system of injustice, and if
persisted in will lead to corruption and
must end in ruin. Andrew Jackson in

was made up of young men. The soda

Washington, May Mh, 18'.t7. Killed
by an overdose of tariff," may be the
epitaph on the tomb of the Kepublicau
party, if the tariff bill which was this
week reported to the senate is not radi
cally changed in many of the schedules.
It has started a fight among the Repub
licans that may result in ki'ling the tar
iff bill as well as the lieputilican party,
although, o course, the chances are
that the differences will le patched up
in some way and a bill of some tort pu
through at this session of congress
That the fight is now raging is shown
by the open threats of the New England
senators to Stay in Washington all sum
mer rather than see the duty on hides,
which the senate finance committee has
put in the bill, remain in the bill, and
these senators are already trving to get
DemtxTatic senators to promise to vote
with them to strike out the duty on
hides when the bill is voted upon by
sessions in the senate, The western sen
ators who foiced the duty ou hides into
the bill, have informed the New Eng
land senators that they were not going
to stand idly by anil pee that duty on
hides struck out of the bill, when they
could get even by combinating with the
Democrats and adopting an amendmen
providing for a horizontal reduction in
all cotton, woolen and steel manufac
tures. Representative (Jrosvenor, of
Ohio, says of the new bill, for that is;
"So far as relates to the wool schedule,
the bill is unsatisfactory, and cannot le
passed. I do not lelieve it can pass the
house The sugar schedule will le very
gratifying to the American Sugar Refi
ning Co , and uusatisfactary to the best
sugar producers in the country. The
New England manufacturers are fully
provided for. The bill will probably not
reach the house in the form reported to
the senate, and if it should it would
meet with very strong opiosition. The
duty on tea will be very unpopular."
Those Republicans representing districts
having large brewing interests are much
worked up over the increase of 41 cenis
a barrel in the tax on leer and will light
it.
Senator Jones, of Ark , who is regard
ed as a tariff exert as well as one of the
most caretul political observers of the
time, said of the present situation:
"This tariff bill means the disruption of
the Republican party. The tuxes im
posed by It wid lie resented by the jeo
ple. New England will certainly go
Democratic on the question of a duty on
hides, but the lesson that will le taught
by this one item might le applied to
every other section of the country. The
next house of representatives will le
Democratic by a very large majority."
Senator Jones, in reply to a question.
sid he thought the debate On the tnriff
bill, which is to begin on the 18th iust.
would last until about the first of July.
It is the general disposition in con
gress to regard the trip to Europe upon
which Senator Wolcott. ex Vice Presi
dent Stevenson, and (ieneral Paine will
start this week, with credentials author
izing them to negotiate with Euojean
governments iu lehalf of international
bimetallism, as nothing more than a
pleasant summer junket for those three
gentlemen. There are not a dozen men
in congress who seriously think interna
tional bimetallism more than a dream,
concocted to stave off an indeend.nt
settlement of the financial question by
this country.
In place of the retroactive tariff in the
Dingley tariff bill the Republicans of the
senate committee have inserted a clause
making July 1st the date upon which
the new duties will go into effect, and
unless all the congressionial prophets
are away eff the date will be changed
again.
The fact was made very plain by the
assignments of Republicans to the com
mittee vae-ancies made by the Republi
can caucus that Boss Hauna isn't the
whole thing in the senate whatever he
may have been in the campaign or may
1' with the administration. He didu't
even get a chairmanship. The only
other Republicans left without chairman
ships are IVnrose, of Pennsylvania, .nd
Dcboe of Ken ucky, who took his seat
this week. Boss Piatt also got turned
down by the Republicans. He wanted
a place on the finance, and is doing a
lot of kicking Itecause he didn't get it.
The senate rejected the arbitration
treaty this week by a vote, of 4: to LV.
Evervlxnly is glad it is out of the way.
The senate also passed the free home
stead bill.
instead of increasing the issue of pie,
Mr. McKinley is curtailiug it, much to
the disgust of the hungry horde. He is
keeping it back l.ceanse he thinks it will
e needed to get the tariff bill through,
and for the same reason he has not
made the modification in the civil ser
vice rules that he has decided to make.

second a decision that wa.? reached
after a Ion:; discussion f reduce rates
of international postal orders on a
sliding male basis after rcachipi; a
certain amount. This matter does not
affect the t'nited States. The action
will not affect postal orders for less
than P" francs, or $:, but will cheapen
the cost of all issued for more than
that sum.
A scheme is being; urped. and may
be submitted at this conirress for re
port at the next, providing for inter
national telegraphic service at the
postollices of sonic of the leadinn cities
of the various countries. This already
is in operation at some places abroad,
but its advocates want its operation
made general.
The Korean minister's announcement
puts an end to doubt that has been ex
pressed as to Korea's intention of cn
terinjr. the minister stating explicitly
that his country would join. Kx-!ov-ernor
Hoyr. counsel for Korea, is at
tending the meetings and advising the
Korean delegation, and added today
that of course that country would re
serve the right to refuse adhesion un
less the proceedings of the congress are
entirely satisfactory.
Despite positive announcements from
l'ckin some months ago. there is some
doubt now as to China's joining the
union, though its delegates are in at
tendance, but without a vote. raii":e
Free State, also, has not been heard
from. The delegations from I'.ulgaria
and Koumania made a proposition f.r
the adoption of the franc basis for all
postal orders, and many of the Latin
countries supported this. France,
tJreece, l'.elgium. Italy and Spam were
among them.
Kngland and Cermany and other
countries opposed this at some length,
and finally France announced that that
country would not insist upon the prop
osition, as it recognized it might be in
convenient, though recognizing the
compliment to its monetary system. It
was the jreneral sentiment that the
present scheme, the basis of payment
being in each case that of the stand
ard of the issuing country, should be
continued.
Walled t'p Alive a-i "Martyrs."
Iindon, May 11. According to a dis
patch to The Daily News from St'.
Petersburg a terrible- crime, the result
of superstition, has been committed at
Tirespol. in the government of Kherson,
where are a number of hermitages in
habited by sectarians. Kecetitly 17 of
the hermits disappeared, and it was be
lieved that they had emigrated in fear
of the impending day of judgment. Dut
a hermit named Kowalind has con
fessed that he walled them up alive in
response to their earnest entreaties that
they might receive the martyr's crown.
The police examined the spot a:id veri
fied the confession.
Wa Invlli In I'rnmlses.
New York. May 11. The offices of
Y. K. Forrest, who conducted an al
leged "discretionary pool" concern,
were closed for business yesterday, and
their owner is nowhere to be found.
Forrest, who is described as a physi
cian, has not been visible. Si his clients
claim, since Friday last, ami some of
them are much worried thereat. A cir
cular which the concern is said to have
sent out broadcast a few weeks ago
gives an insig'.it into th 'ir way of do
ing business. It declared, among other
things, that "cash dividends of more
than l."0 per cent had been paid clients
during the past nine months."
lVeiilhir Double Fatality.
Chicago, May 11. A peculiar double
fatality occurred before hundreds of
spectators in Lincoln Dark. While
boating on Lake Michigan Matthew
Iloche'and his 10-year-old nephew.
Harry Flynn. attempted to ex hang
seats. The boat was overturned and
the boy drowned, although Koche twice
succeeded in pulling the little fellow
on top of the capsized craft. While
this was going on AllM-rt Mattarl. who
was in the crowd at the water's edge,
suddenly pitched forward on his face
dead. His death is ascribed to ex
citement caused by watc hing the strug
gles of the drowning boy.
Preached In Publ ic Wit lion t Permit.
Washington. May 11. The supreme
court yesterday sustained the decisions
of the Massachusetts courts which
punished an itinerant preacher, Will
iam F. Davis, for preaching on Host on
Common without a permit from the
mayor. Davis claimed that the or
dinance giving the mayor control over
the common and forbidding any pub
lic address there without his permis
sion was In conliiit with the 11th
amendment of the constitution. Justice
White, wtiD delivered the opinion, said
that the 14th amendment did not de
stroy the power of the states to enact
police regulations.
How Fncle Sam 1 "Worked.
Alva, O. T.. May 11. Ins) c tor Tay
lor, of the department of justice, who
has been present during the past week
inspecting court affairs and investi
gating charges against Deputy t'nited
Stales marshals, has left for Wash
ington to make his report. It will ex
pose the practice of going out and
dragging iu scores of farmers on trivial
timber cutting charges in order to
bleed the government for fees, in many
cases the prisoners, when innocent, be
ing induced to plead guilty on promises
of release at once, the deputies to pay
the lines themselves out of the fees.
Iuucture the Theory.
The oppotfition of tho protected inter
acts of Massachusetts to a duty on hides
looks like an abandonment of tho, favor
ite protectionist theory that "the for
eigner pays the t:i-v "
Tho tin pluto make rs wish to tiooni
their business by increasing the duty
on inijiornd tin plate, to the injury of
the canning industry and other indus
tries that flourish. by reason of cheap
tin plate. Another blow is struck at
business by abolishing tho rebate on ex
ported tin cans. Now canned good ex
ported in cans niado of iniTmrti-d tin are
allowed a drawback of the duty paid,
and thus an export business has been
built tip in canned fruits, oysters, vege
tables, iK troleum, etc. Over 4,000.000
tin cans are sent abroad annually, con
taining oil which comtieres with "that of
Russia. When Russia can luy tin plate
at 2.70 a box, while we have to pay
f3.60 for it, it is evident that our com
petition will Lo rendered difficult. Mr.
Dingley robs Peter to pay PauL Balti
