THE Tariff Commission does not suit New
York, nor the West, nor the South. 1t is

the control and direction of the corporations
and monopolies that have grown rich

revenue-reform dinner, denounced it as
composed of violent Pretectionists; the New
York Express Gays ''it is s commission au-
thorized and created expressly to postpone
tariff reform" and the New York EUening
Post says that it is constituted SO as to give
1.-THE wooden manufacturers the iron NJ asters,
the wool growers, the rice growers and the
sugar planters an advantage over everybody
else. These interests are securely in
trenched. They are not only represented
specially on the commission, but they have
n clear majority OF the members" and

and with the science of taxation Except az
associated with and blinded by private in

of the commission, nobody will be concerned
by its action except the special interests

Republican paper, but like the Erpress and
the Post, anti-monopolist, says: "Fhe COM
mission is largely made up OF precisely
the men who SHOULD have been excluded
from it, namely, the representatives, of
the leading interests which profit by high
protective tariff. They are not Gt Judges of the
questions to be determined, but are advocates
on one side OF the controversy, who might
well have been summoned before an Impair

urge their special views of public policy. They
are totally unit TO pass upon the merits OF
arguments that may be presented on both

Lou5syfIIe,s Great Fe.e

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 10.-The pro-
gramme of the three days fete commencing
on June 9th, for the benefit of the Masonic
Orphans Home, is the most attractive ever
presented. The features OF each day would
make severalhplendid exhibitions, for each of
which the admission fee to all would be rea-'
sonable. The variety and high class of the
amusements are wonderful now, and yet are
being increased. Colonel II. B. Grant, who
managed the big affair last year, declares
that this ia his last effort, which shall be a
glorious finale. Among the attractions are
bicycle races, baseball matches, athletic
sports, tests of strength by Duncan c. Ross
and others, Templar, military and bat
TALON display drills, and other games
for the championship of the United States.
The Porter Rifles, OF Nashville, and Chicka-
saw Guards, of Memphis, will settle the
long disputed championship of Tennessee.
Those famous companies, with the Crescent
Rifles, Of New Orleans; Quapaw Guards, oil
Little Rock; Porter Guards, of Memphis
Kentucky State Guard companies, and 9TH
era, will drill for purses of gold. Three
grand concerts by famous musical societies
the finest display of fireworks ever given in
Louisville; street and dress parade; a
broom, fan and parasol drill; a veteran sol
diers' drill by Hardie's tactics, etc, are but q
part of the programme.

A GREAT SENSATION
At Ottawa, Canada-PrOminent Citizens
Arrested for COunierfeiting. b..

OTTAWA, ONT, June IO.-Late in Novem-
Der last reference was made TO the probable
existence OF counterfeiters in this locality.
Steps were taken at once by the authorities
to ferret them out. The counterfeit money
set in circulation around the town OF ST.
Catharine, Ont, led to the arrest of two par
ties named Mainland and Frederick, whose
absolute mode of living led to the supposi-
ton that they had hand in the fraud; but
more recently, and especially since the Sd
OF May last, the circulation in this city OF
counterfeit $40 bills on La Bank Rationale
gave rise to some suspicious that equally
dishonest parties as those OF st. GATHERINGS
were in our midst and the case was given
into the hands of Detective McVeitty to
work up, and that officer Immediately set
about ferreting out the guilty parties. He
first examined the imitation. The ground
work of the denomination Of the bill was not
at all the piece of artistic work to be found
on the original, and the whole appearance of
the note was faulty. No lees than fifteen OF
these SO notes were passed on unsuspecting
parties in this city during last month, and
suspicion pointed in a certain direction.
Last night Detective McVeitty entered the
Queen restaurant, on Wellington street, and
observed Mr.. Martin Sparrow rendering
SO bill in payment for refreshments. On
the detective examining the bill he found 1t
TO be spurious
Mr.. Sparrow lokingly said, in answer to
the officer, that he had passed many OF them
recently, and could see nothing wrong IN the
appearance of the bills, which were good
enough at election times. Mr.. Sparrow was
placed under arrest, and after short con-
versation with him Detective McVeitty pro-
ceeded out the Montreal road and arrested
his brother, Mr.. Angus Sparrow, on the
came charge-that of uttering counterfeit
money. From the facts elected by the
detective suspicion points strongly TO the
guilt of the two parties arrested, and it
is thought other residents are involved in the
frauds committed. The prisoners were ar
raigned before the police magistrate this
morning, and, the pros4ea.ioa mot being
ready to GO ON, were remanded till Monday.
The prisoners hold a very respectable char
acter among residents in this city, one being
master of drawing at the model school. and
the other occupying up to short time since
a position as private secretary to a cabinet
minister. In the meantimei they are held in
custody, bail not being allowed. The case
excites much interest in this CITY,

Mr.. MANLEY TELLo, the superserviceable
editor of the Catholic UIirerse, in the course
of a defense OF Bishop Gilmour, of Cleve-
land, yesterday wondered if the American
people realize what bulwark the Catholic
Church had been to communicate labor agi-
tators" To which the New York Etening Post
responds that even if this is true, it is scarcely
pertinent to the subject of discussion-the
course of the bishop in regard to the Ladies'
Land League. Certain Catholic women are
to be accommodated, not because they are
"communistic labor agitators," not even be-
cause they favor a particular view Of the
Irish question: bat simply because they 60 to
public meetings and become political
hrawlers" instead OF staying at home
Upon these same grounds women
might be communicated for appearing
at q meeting of "femsle fuffragists," who
certainly are not communists. They might
be anathem atized for going to meeting re-
lsting to their own higher education, such as
was held in this city some time ago. In such
a case they would not be staying at home,
but they would not necessarily be engaged in
political brawliHg" Yet, according to
Bishop Gilmour, they wonld have to be ex-
communicated. Such excessive punishment
for peaceably assembling and earnestly sgi-
Eating a good cause can only produce one
effect But then Bishop Gilmour's is not
the only Catholic diocese in the United
States

why Tennessee, with all its natural advan-
