The Tariff Reform Programme.

One of the most intimate friends of Rep
resentative William r. Morrison of Illinois
informs Washington correspondent that
tariff next winter. He thinks, however,
that the free list will be increased by
specific bills, and that raw materials may
be made duty free. Tho 20 per cent. reduc-
tion scheme fell fat, and will not work.
lie says The only proposition that finds
favor is in the free list, and that docs not
contemplate anything like an overhauling
OF tho tariff schedules, 1t simply means
the consideration of a number of bills
specifying articles upon which there
shall be no duty. By naming only one,
Two, three, or very fow articles in a bill,
consideration IS much more easily secured
and the chances of passage greatly en-.
hanced."

THE pIsrRIor JUDICIARY.
Important Changes That Are Likely
10 Take Place This spring.

~ AHhAb EAhoe Anth hpfbhks
A CRITIC reporter inquired Of Judge
Wylie of the District Supreme Court this
morning If ii was true that he had waited
on the President and informed him Of his
intention of av0ilng himself of the provi-
sion oflaw allowing him to retire aftor twou-
ty years service. He said that 1t was and
equally true that Chief Justice Cartier and
Justice Macarthur intended retiring. Tho
judges Of this bench retire on full pay
$4,000
Hon. Richard T. Merrick is spoken of as
a probable successor of one Of the retiring
judges, and Judge Keith OF Virginia aud
Messrs II. o. Claughton and Leigh Robin
son arc also talked of as possible appointees
TO the District judiciary. Judge Wylie has
been on the bench since 1868. Several
months ago he said he intended retiring
when the new President was elected. The
retirement will probably take place at the
end of the present term Of the court, which
occurs this month.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Assignment of Insurauco poIicl,

AssIgnment OF InsUrance POIIcIes.
The Court in General Term this morning
rendered decision of considerable import
ance to beneficial associations and persons
insured in them. The question was Q new
one and has never been decided before. The
parties to the suit were the Beneficial En-
dowment Association vs. Daniel Jones.
Jones was insured for $500 and he assigned
the policy to his wife. She died before he
died. There was no change made in the
assignment.
The administrators of Mrs Jones
claimed the benefits of tho policy, and the
administrators of Mr.. Jones also claimed
the policy.
The Court held that the death of the wlfo
before the husband revoked the assignment,
thus giving him the policy.

ANOTHER WOFUL TALE.
A Confiding Victim Wall From
Ward One.

A handsome young foreigner living in
the First ward is in sore trouble. and
thinks of taking II trip TO Europe "for
the benefit of his health"
1t happened in this wise: Some
months ago a Mexican matron arrived
IN this city from Piedras Negras, Mex
leo. She was accompanied by her pref
ty little daughter, child OF some Il
years, and just budding into woman
hood. She exercised very careful es-
pionage of her daughter, rarely allowing
her to make the acquaintance of young
man, and never allowing hei to 90 out
with them. Our handsome friend, the
foreigner, became acquainted with her
and finally, by means known only to
himself, continued to escort her out
from her mothers roof for several sue
cessive evenings, always with the moth
er's consent, who had placed great con-
tidence in her daughters escort, Vio-
lating every known law of moral respon-
sibility and friendship, tho young man
at length caused the ruin of the limo
cent child and ceased to visit her. She
at length fell sick and her condition be-
came apparent to her mother, who drove
her in anger from her house. She took
refuge at the residence of her married
sister, in the Second ward, and there
her child was born. Although the young
mother suffered untold agony, her ruth
less destroyer needed not her woe, and
refused to aid her, until compelled to do
so by threats of public exposure in the
courts, which he Is now doing
