obtain larger share OF the markets of this
country than they now possess.
SecoDd-Because OF the entire absence OF prin-
ciple which characterizes its composition.
Third-Because of the implication on the pro-
posed repeal of the duties on such raw materials
as lumber. salt, wool hemp and fax, and in the
proposed maintenance of existing duties on many
manufactured products, that the interests of
American manufacturers are more to be consid-
cred In the framing of tariff bill than the in
terests of other American producers.
Fourth-Because of the absence of a single
provision for correction of any OF the grave
errors affecting duties which are embodied in
the present tariff.
FiftE-Because its introduction is wholly
unnecessary disturbance of business; because it
meets no want and removes no grievance of any
American industry; because its enactment would
be followed by ruinous consequences; because 1t
responds to no patriotic impulse; because its
spirit and provisions are thoroughly British and
essentially un-American. 1t is measure
tariff measure has ever emanated from
ways and means committee. Beyond the ad-
vance towards free trade which is noticeable in
its proposed additions to the free list, 1T smpli-
ies nothing; but on the contrary, further COM
plicates the levyng and collection of duties. and
increases the opportunities for frauds on the
revenue. The bill is framed in utter disregard
Of the promise contained in the Chicago plat

tration came into power, that it is not proposed
to injure any domestic industries, but rather to
promote their healthy growth. It Is not en-
titled to the respect Of the American people, and
we trust that it will not receive the approval of
your body.

If Mr.. Hendricks had lived Governor

now the tide of Hoosier Democratic sentiment

intimate friendship between him and Mr.. Hen
bricks was for some reason chilled about the
time of the Chicago convention and without any
open rupture they drifted apart, each to form
new associations and to choose new allies within
the party. Mr.. Hendricks set his heart on the
promotion of Governor Grey to the Senate.
while Mr.. Mcdonald found his closest friend

wIsE's FALSE CHARGES.

A Case in Which a Suspended Officer Was
Completely vindicated.
WAsHIN GToN, April %. The Senate has re-
moved the injunction of secrecy from the report
in the case of George Wise, nominated to be
postmaster at Hamburg, Ia. Wise brought
charges of partisanship and inefficiency against
Coolbaugh, the incumbent, and the committee
having received the papers in the case, gave
Coolbaugh an opportunity to reply. The report
embodes all the papers in the case. and con-
cludes as follows:
ut was fortunate for the suspended officer
that his case reached the committee before the
executive department resolved not to place the
papers, upon which suspensions are based in it's
possession for inspection. The papers in this
case were communicated to the committee by
the Postmaster general. This enabled the com
mittee to inform the suspended officer of the ma
ture Of the charges lodged against him, and
afford him an opportunity to respond to the
same. The effectiveness of the suspended Off
GERS responses to the charges and specifications
presented to the President and Postmaster gen
eral will not be questioned by any impartial
mind. He did not rest his defense on his own
personal denial or qualify its force by the
introduction of counter charges against
his accuser He went directly to the parties
upon whose alleged grievances the person NOM
mated to the Senate as his successor had based
his charges. and the result of his action Is given
in the letters OF said parties. These letters he
forwarded to the committee in support of his
specific answers to the charges and specifications
upon which he was suspended. These are auto
graph letters of the parties and DISCLOSE the fact
that the said charges and specifications have no
foundation of truth upon which to rest.
I'm view of the foregoing state of facts the
committee cannot conclude that George Wise,
the person nominated by the President, is enti-
tied to further consideration by the Senate. For
the Senate to advise and consent to his appoint
ment.by the President would but encourage the
presentation of unfounded charges against public
officers. The practice is bad enough when the
Office is sought by person not party to the
formulation and presentation of the false charges
It is much worse when the applicant for the
Office is also the accuser. as in the present case

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Spring fell upon
Washington like large, heavy blanket, a few
days ago, and the trees have burst out their ver-
dure and the lawns and parks are clothed in
green. The extraordinary warmth and sudden
ness Of the change has started talk about ad-
journment of Congress- If there Is one thing
more than another that statesmen does not
like, it is to sit at his desk at the Capitol and
mop his dorid face and puff like porpoise, and
grow tired doing nothing. If the weather will
keep as warm for fortnight as 1t has been dur
ing the past week, it is probable that legislation
will be materially facilitated, and the adjourn
ment may be reached sometime earlier than it
otherwise would be.
