THE Liars RETRACT.

o. course, after wilfully and malisloasly
lying about the assistant city engineers
and the city council, the Pioneer Press
takes it all back, eats humble pie and
apologies. The GLOBE characterized the
conductors of that sheet as malicious liars,
and that our readers may soc for them
selves the truth of our assertion we
append the confession of the cowardly
defamers which they wers forced to make
when invited to substantiate tLeir wilfully
base and gratuitous falsehoods:
Both Mr.. Somers and Mr.. Fuller, assistants OF
the city engineer, think that great injustice was
done them by the Pioneer Press yesterday, in
saying that they'll had been pushing the Broadway
private speculation of their own in real estate
in West St. Paul. They admit that they laid
out an addition in the Sixth ward on the
plateau which lies right in the line of the
proposed bridge, but deny THAI there was
any connection between their advocacy of the
Broadway street bridge and this real estate
speculation. They ayer-an we unhesitatingly
accept the statement rs true-,hat they have sold
out all their interest in this addition, with the
exception Of somo ten lots, in which they have
each quarter interest, and that these are for
sale at fixed price, and that this interest is
small that it could not reasonably be expected
to have Influenced their action on
the Broadway street bridge. Whether the
agitation of the bridge precinct has had the
effect of enhancing the prices they realized from
the sale of their lots we are not informed, but
are not surprised to learn that since they have
sold their lots they have taken much less interest
il, the bridge than they did some months ago.
Mr. Somers AYERS that he has never spoken to au
alderman on the subject. Mr.. Fuller has spoken

REMOTING THE TORiCCO TAX.

The statement that the ways and means
committee had reported in favor of
abolishing the tax on tobacco was received
by the country with no little surprise.
And the reason given by Mr.. Kelley for the
abolition Of the tax, was quite as surpris-
ing as any part of the transaction. The
reason given was, that tobacco was an ag-
ricultural product, and to take off the tax
was to encourage agriculture. Why does
not this reason apply to whisky as we'll:
Whisky is made from corn, and that GER
tainly is an agricultural product The
assum ed reason is absurd. Tobacco and
whisky are not necessities. They enter
into the class of luxuries, and to tax such
for revenue is always regarded as a sound
principle.
The proposition to take off the tax is
not as strong in the committee as sup
posed. Investigation goes to show that
the report, after all. is minority report
Messrs. Kelley and Randall, of Pennsyl
vania, worked it up. They took advau-
tage of the absence of Mr.. Russell, who is
in favor of retaining the tax, to make the
!; report. which was adopted ly majority
of one. Had Mr. Russell been present
there would have been a tie vote, and nc
report would have been made. The object
of Messrs. Kelley and Randall in taking
off the tax is to strengthen q tariff fo
protection to raise the proper revenue.
| The members of the committee opposed
the removal Of the tax are Haskell, Nc
Kinley. Morrison, DunneN, Kasson ant
Russell. A tariff adjustment should b.
made before a reduction of the tax on to
bacco should be considered and the mem
bers of the committee name
are opposed to any reduction
of the tax on tobacco, under any circum
stances to exceed 80 per cent Tn.

They say, for the reduction which it nov
appears safe to make, we believe it shout

IF republics are ungrateful, political
parties are more so. Within the past few
days the GLOBE has 3hronicled the death
in poor houses of two men who have borne
very prominent part in the political his
tory of our nei::.;hboring state of Wi-con-
sin. Josiah A. Noonan for many years be-
fore the war was potential in the politics
of the state. No man could successfully
aspire to public position without his ap-
proval and support. He made the politi-
cal fortunes of scores of those who have
since occupied a large space III
fhe public eye. He was rich and
courted for a quarter of a
century, but died poor and for saken in the
insane ward of the Milwaukee county poor
house, and now occupies pauper's grave.

days as the only man in congress who sue
ceeded in blufing Southern fire. eater, and
becams widely known in consequence as
<'Bowie- Knife Potter" contributed as large
iy as any other man in the state toward
the upbuilding of the Republican party,
has just died in the Waukesha county poor
house. neglected by all who for years were
suitors for his favor and influence. He
filled seat in congress two terms, and
was afterwards appointed CONSUL general
to Canada. Since his return from that
post he has sunk from public ken, and only
his pftiable death has been thought worthy
of record. Dissipation has had nothing
to do with the downfall of these two men,
much of their former associates and ben
efciarIes to ask them to provide for them
in their old age and poverty.
