days and has tried l26 cases of

DEMOCRAT were persistent in
their efforts - winter to prevent
such enormoas federal appropria
tons, and noy sa wisdom of such
efforts are being demonstrated. The
income of {: current fiscal year
promises to b. zen 10 fifteen millions
less than the estimates fixed it, and
that of next year has been reduced at
least fifty millions by operation of
law, in the repeal OF internal revenue
taxes and reduction of postage.
What the real reduction will be
aobody n n,w say, the experience
of the current year demonstrating
how uncertain all estimates are.
These are facts that were not wholly
unforeseen, and congress should
wisely have prepared to meet these
heavy reductions of revenue
by vigorous retrenchment OF need
less extravaganza in departmental ex-
penses. The Republican majority,
at the dictation OF Robson with the
lobby at his back, chose to follow the
directly contrary course, and it can
not now escape the responsibility for
the embarrassment the treasury will
have to contend with on the eve of
presidential election. The bold
purpose to Cypress the people with
enormous expenditures, that the de-
mani for reduced tariff might be null
flied. is indicative of the corruption
to which these powers that have so
long controlled the government re-
sort for selfish ends.

IT is said Mr.. Leo cannot proceed
with his suit against the Pacific rail-
way company because he finds all the
Judges stockholders. The complain
ant, knowing that Judge Wallace. of
the United States circuit court was
an interested person, being holder
of several shares of the Pacific rail-
way company, had the case put on
the motion calendar, and when it was
called, on motion for an injunction,
Judge Wallace declined to hear it.
An effort was made to get Judge Ship
man to hear argument on the mo-
ton for an injunction, but he
also declined, being stakeholder
in the company. A while ago Judge
Wallace dissolved temporary in
junction obtained by Leo, restraining
the company from issuing stock, but
since then he became a stakeholder.
Two years ago suit OF like import
was called before Circuit Judge
Blatchford, now of the United States
supreme court, when he declined to
hear the argulnpat, as he was stock
holder. Counse. is looking around to
see if there is any judge qualified to
act on the case. The conditions are

1T is officially stated that dealers in
tobacco, having claims for rebates of
taxes and tax stamps, are not, com
PEELED to employ attorneys to collect
their claims; that all claims will be
considered in the order filed, and that
the fact that q claimant is represented
by an attorney, will not hasten the
consideration of his claim in any
way. 1t appears that num-
Der Of claim agents in Wash
ington have been sending out
circulars in large quantities
to tobacco dealers offering their servi-
ces of the collection of the drawback
or rebate of the tobacco tax for fee
of from five to ten per cent of the
amount of the claims. Some Of these
claim agents have stated in their cir
culars that they possess certain adj
Yantages in fastening the payment
of such claims. The practice of the
internal revenue bureau is to treat
all claimants alike. The money to
pay the claims of retail dealers has
not yet been appropriated. Manufac-
turers of tobacco can be paid in
stamps. so that there will be no de-
lay in paying them. ~
