quarters yesterday that her daughter
Nettie, sixteen years old, was missing. She
had gone to work Saturday morning SEEM

A CHAIN OF SUICIDES.
Rem aniseenses Recalled by the Suicide
Of AmRsa Stone.


CLEVELAND, May 15.-The manner in
which Mr.. Amasa Stone, the iron king,
concluded his life in this city four days
ago has recalled some strange Condolences.
Mr.. Amasa Stone was practically the fOun-
der OF the Cleveland, Paiusesville and Ash
tabula railway, which was the germ from
which has grown the great Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern. Mr.. Charles Collins
was Chief engineer Of the same road.
The Ashtabula bridge which went down
with horrible loss OF life on December -,
l>16 was built from plans made by Mr..
StCue, who was President Of the road, and
was constructed under the supervision of
Mr.. Collins, the Chief Engineer.
Roth Men Ended Their Lives
by tragic suicide Mr. Collins, wrought
ter, shot himself Jan. L., 1917, immediate
ly after giving his testimony before the
UVon by the horrors of the AShtahu.a dIsas-
legislative committee of inquiry in session
here. His body was found three days later
a his family being away in his house,
which, oddly enough, stood where the
Lake Shore Railway building now IS. That
Mr.. Collins was deliberate about it was
shown by finding two revOlYers and an
open razor close by his body. He thrust q
pistol into his mouth and fired shot
which killed him instantly. About two
wears ago brother of Engineer Collins
committed suicide, and some five years ago
a brother of Mr Stone shot himself through
the heart. All were respectable and we'll
to-dO.

esy that any tariff bill which rested
exclusively on that basis would never
become law, but would beget most
unhappy feeling among the people in
regard to the whole subject. He
thought it would be wise, therefore,
to pay somewhat less attention to the
demands of the manufacturers and
more to the views Of the people who
have to pay the taxes.
The Senate, or rather the Republi-
can part of it, finally decided to in
crease the proposed tariff tax on
crockery from 40, 40 and 80 per cent,
to 30, 30 and 60 per cent, and the
Republicans in the House declared in
favor of tax OH crockery of 30 and
So per cent. The census bulletin on
manufactures shows that the average
wages paid to the men working in the
earthenware establishments in this
country was s345 yearly. There are
686 establishments; value of manu-
features, 81, 942. 729, which were made
from materials costing only 1854
259, and it is easy to see that the high
revenue tax benefits the manufacturer
only. The value of manufactures ex-
coed the capital employed, by over
81 100000.

fronted with bankruptcy.

into corner, and not few are con.
fronted with bankruptcy.
In this dilemma, brought about by
their own agency, because they got
the period of bonding extended from
one to three years, they appeal tc
Congress for relief, just as other mon
opolists are doing under the tariff
They believe in paternal govern
ment, which will foot the bills of its
children.
A bill was rushed through the
4 House at the last session of Congress
to give the whisky men five years OF
additional time for bonding. 1t was
blocked in the Senate. They virtual
ly wanted the Treasury to loan them
the taxes for half n decade, aggregat-
ing several hundred millions of dol
lars, in addition to the favors already
received.
Public opinion condemned that job,
and it was abandoned by necessity.
Now Mr.. Sherman brings in bill to
give two years more of free warehous-
ing, and accompanies it with a piteous
appeal that if this relief be not grant
ed, there will be a widespread ruin
among the holders of the whisky, that
is to say, the spectators that bonded
it for rise.
An amendment proposing five per
cent. interest OH the extension was
voted down. Another amendment
proposing to return to the one-year
system after July, 1883, which gave
fair notice to the holders, was also
voted down, John Sherman pretend
ing to be in favor of it on another
bill, but not on the pending one.
These and other votes prove that
the Whisky Ring has been REINFORCED
since the last session, and that some
of the Senators, who profess to be
very anxious for amendments, are
wearing masks to deceive their people
at home. The whisky men of Mime
sofa have compelled Mr.. Window to
come to terms, and there are others in
a similar category.
AT the end of the proposed two
years, this interest will again knock
at the doors of Congress for more leg
islation. The present experience will
be repeated, and John Sherman will
be in the Senate to recite the woes of
the Whisky Ring, with perhaps its
hundred millions of unpaid taxes.
But this is the day Of civil service re-
form, and these things are to be ex-
pected. Watch the votes of the re-
formers IN. Y. Sun.
The bill has yet to be acted upon
by the House and receive the assent
of the President.

The Auditor-General says there are
no bids on file in his Office offering t.
do the tax printing for less than forty
cents a description. 1t is not likely
that such things would be filed, and
they were, no doubt, destroyed. II
would be the safest thing for the Re-
publican State officials to do in order
to get rid of damaging evidence. On
this matter the Newaygo Tribune
speaks as follows:
Inasmuch as to our certain know
ledge several propositions were ten
dered as low as twenty-five cents per
description, we presume that'the same
have been destroyed. We wish it dis
tinctly understood that we have none
but the most friendly feelings for the
ex-Auditor-General, Mr.. Latimer, and
believe him to be more honest than
the average politician, but he allowed
himself to be used in this matter for
party purposes, when he could have
asserted his individuality and saved
the tax payers of the State at least
$4,000, and probably more, by award
ing this printing to the lowest respon-
sible bidder.

Pursuit of Plumber.

There seems to be three factions
at work among the Republicans at
Lansing, in the attempt to elect a
U. S. Senator. The question among
them is not one of electing the best
man to represent this State, but which
faction shall control the spoils. 1t is
the offices they are after and not the
interests of the people. One faction
is bitterly opposed to Ferry, another
is really in favor of Ferry, and the
third, while pretending to help Ferry
by voting for him, are really trying
to cut Ferry's political throat, while
indulging in apparent friendly caress
es. This last gang of political cut
Threats are in favor of T. Palmer
and they voted for Ferry knowing
that his chances of being elected are
not bright. They think that wher
the break comes, they will have the
naming of the coming senator and
get heaps of official plumber, and il
the break should not come, and Ferry
should be elected, they believe that
some offices will fall to them. The
patriotism of the whole lot has de-
generated into the pursuit of spoils
and they appear to be trying to sell
their votes for official patronage.
