Love of Pelf.

CONCORD, N. H., June 4.-Both Re-
publicans and Democrats are chuckling
over the prominence given In the papers
TO the letter from A. r. Howard, late
Collector OF Customs at Portsmouth, re-
signing his office on the ground that he is
radical Republican and cannot consent
to hold office under q Democratic adj
ministration. In his own town Frank
Jones wanted both the Collector and Post
master to be Democrats Of his own selec-
tion,and Postmaster was appointed some
time age. MIR. Howard coulGnet very we'll
be rem1ved without comment, and SO
Mr.. Jones, who Is his intimate friend,
offered il he would resign to put all his
(Jones') insurance business for his large
real estate interests in Mr.. HOward's
hands. This is worth more than the Col
lect0rship, and MIR. Howard accepted the
offer, thus accommodating Mr.. Jones and
lettering himself. The letter of resigna-
ti0n was forwarded To Mr.. Jones, and Mr..
SullOway, of the Democratic National
Committee, who carried il to Washing
ton and had Mr.. Jones' candidate, A. A.

RESISTMENT0 TAXATION
HOUGHTON's CITY TREASURER
LOSES A CASE IN COURT.

Marcus Oppenhoimer shows That Ills
Warehouse FUN of the Filthy Weed
Was subject to the Laws GOverning
later State ommeroe--Liability OF
the Treasurer of state at stake.
MADISON. WIS, June 4.--Judge llar-
Ian, OF the United States supreme Court,
has been here listening TO arguments In
the case Of Marcus Oppenheimer against
dona J, Naset Treasurer OF tho ely Of
Hodgntans Hjg complaint sets up that
the plaintiff, a citizen OF Now York, has
been for several years engaged IN buying
tobacco in the vicinity Of Hough-
ton, and particularly during
last winter, for the sole purpose
of transporting 1t to New York, and in
order to properly transport it 1t IL neoes-
sary to sort il and pack it in boxes for
shipment; that for these purposes he had
a warehouse in Houghton in which it was
sorted, packed and kept until IL could be
conveniently transported to New York, to
be there sold and manufactured; that
while large quantity Of such tobacco
was lying In the warehouse awaiting
transportation, and kept there for no other
purpose, 1t was taxed by the local au-
thOrities, and the defendant afterward
collected the tax, knowing that IL was
Illegal, under a protest that the tax was
unconstitutional and void, on the ground
that such tobacco. when taxed, was part
OF the commerce OF the country in transit
from State to State, and had no status for
taxation in Wisconsin.
THE ACTION FOR RECOVERY.
Action was brought to recover from the
City Treasurer the money 80 collected by
him and paid to him under protest. A
general demurrer TO this complaint was
interposed by which two questions were
raised. The first was whether the City
Treasurer could be held for the money
| collected by him, or whether the action
should not have been against the city of
| HOught0n, of which he YVES Treasurer.
The second question was whether the
tobacco was taxable. The court held,
/ Justice Harlan delivering the opinion,
that upon the first question the
/ Judges were unable to agree, Judge
| Harlan incIining to the opinion
that the defendant is liable and Judge
Bum being of a different opinion. This
objection was, therefore, oyerruled. On
the other point, whether the tobacco was
taxable,sit was agreed by both Judges
that the allegations Of the complaint
| are sufficient TO show that the tobacco is
not taxable, being in effect in course of
transportation and "a subject Of Interstate
commerce not taxable by any State. The
demurrer was, therefore, overruled.

WOrlsingmen Rebel Against Yale Man

WOrItingmen Rebel Against Yale Man
as Chief of the State Labor Bureau.
HARTFORD, CONN. june 4.-rhe newly
created Bureau Of Labor Statistics in this
State starts out upon a stormy sea. 1t
was demanded by the workingnen and
the Legislature created It especially in
their interest. Gov. Harrisons appoint
ment Of Prof. Hadley, of Yale, as its first
commissioner has been received with dis
satisfaction by the labor organizations
throughout the State, who claim the ap-
polntment Of a college man, with no prac-
teal experience with labor problems,
defeats the objects for which the bureau
was created. Prof. Hadlcy has a deserved
reputation as a etatisticign and writer on
political economy, but he has never soiled
his hands With labor, nor has no any ac-
quaintance with the evils Of the employ
ment system, other than from hearsay.
The temper Of the wOrkingmen was shown
by an occurrence here to-day. Gov.
Harrison suggested 10 Prof. Hadley that,
before entering upon his duties, IL
might be advisable t0 have an in-
terview with representatives, OF the
knights OF Labor and other labor Organi-
cations. A conference was arranged and
Prof. Hadley came % Hartford on the
morning train today. The conference
was wholly unsatisfactory. At the out
set wide differences Of opinion as 10 the
scope and character OF the work Of tho
bureau were developed, and. II being evil
dent that they could not be reconciled,
Prof. Hadley withdrew and returned
home by the noon train.
Without the cooperation Of the labor
unions the bureau will be hampered Ia its
work. It may reach one side Of the
problem IN collecting statistics from the
manufacturers, but cannot be fully in
formed as 60 the evils which the working
men desire 20 have Investigated; such
evils, for instance, as result from the eX-
cessive hours In mills In Eastern C0nuec-
ticut. For illustration 10 IL reported that
at ono mill the hands begin work M 5;45
q. IN. and their days work IS nearly
twelve hours. The white slaves of this
mill would prefer a workiDgman % report
on tuolr condition rather than a college
professor.

ing by the Lord Mayor Of London, the
Lord Mayor in proposing the health Of
Mr. Phelps said that he gave TO him d
most cordial welcome, not only on behalf
Of the citizens Of London, but OF the
whole people of England. The Lord
Mayor then in words Of warm praise
spoke Of Mr.. Lowell, and closed his
graceful tribute to Mr.. Lowell by
characterizlng him as one "whom all
hOnOred." Mr.. Phelps was much ap-
plauded during the delivery Of his
response TO the toast TO his health.
COMMENTS OF THE ENGLIsH PRESS.
London newspapers are extremely fa-
vorable in their comments on Minister
Phelps speech at the banquet last night
The Globe says: "Mr. Phelps possesses
lucid and cultured mind, and Is an acqui-
siti0n to the highest social and official So
ciety Of London"
The Standard says: "That any possible
successor could maintain Mr.. LowelPs
place in English society seemed a hope
extrayagsnt 10 the verge Of grotes0ueness,
but Mr.. Phelps has made a debut which
promises most happily"
The St JdmeS Gazette says: "The
Americans are "A nation OF uncommonly
neat public speakers. Mr.. Phelps, to
whom was given the difficult tack Of fiji
ing the place Of Mr.. Lowell, who is one Of
the happiest and most graceful Of speak
ers, made an extremely fellcit0us lite
speech.D

port OF the Committee Of Initiative

reject the report now, on the eve of a

dividing the Republican party. The re-
marks Of NJ. Brisson were received with
applause.
The motion TO impeach the Ferry Min
istry was rejected by a vote Of 322 TO 1853.
In the course Of the discussion several
violent speeches were made.
A STORMY SCENE.

during the debate to-day was exceedingly
stormy. Many angry personalities were
INDUCED in, and several duels have been
arranged in consequence Of the Insulting
epthets which were freely exchanged.
