The Truth.

! The Chicago Ne,Os is paper which
everybody admires. 1t is, in politics,
Republican in its proclivities but it has
a conscience. Unlike the Republican
organs found in this neighborhood, the
Ne,Us tells the truth. This is the way
it speaks of private pension claims:
The rare good sense of the Presidents
vetoes of private pension bills is shown
as fast as they are investigated. 1t may
be grating to the nerves of persons who
never smelled powder in bottle, and yet
are applicants for pensions, to have the
President run his shaft of ridicule so
deftly through their pretensions, but
this cannot be helped. The keen satire
of Junins disturbed the king and his
ministers far more than their crimes,
and this seems to be the trouble with
men who cannot show that they are in
the least entitled to aid and yet are mad
that they do not get it.
But the case of Mrs. Gen. Hunter has
been made a test case. That her hus-
band was an able and patriotic officer
everyone will admit. Gen. Grant re-
fers to him as specially patriotic Of
ficer in his personal memoirs, and it is
just, wise, and fitting that his wife
should be pensioned. But the Presi-
dent votoed the bill granting her pen
sion of $50 month on the ground that
her claim for pension was pending in
the pension office. The veto message
was referred to the House committee on
pensions and majority report of the
that the pension office has already
granted her pension to the full extent
of the law. The minority report, how
ever, disagrees with that of the majority
and asks that the bill pass over the veto
on the ground that, although the law
allows the wife ofa general officer $50 a
month, it has been customary to give
$50 in such cases.
1t would seem to one outside of Con-
gress as if the better way was to amend
the pension law rather than seek to
evade it by special acts. If it is proper
to give the wife of a general officer a
pension of $50 a month, and it is not a
large sum, let the pension law be so
amended that it can be done; but if we
have q law on that subject 1t is best to
follow it. 1t is not the amount of 500
a month that is atstake, but the princi-
pal of having pension law of opposed
general application constantly verrid-
den by special cases, 1t does not an
swer to say that it has become the
custom to ignore the law in the case oi
wives of general officers. So much the
worse, for any number of wrongs do not
make a right. Why make an excep.
ton in the case of the wives of generals
and construe strictly the law when il
comes to wives of colonels, captains, OF
privates? Nor does it do to say con.
gress has the unlimited right 10 pass
special laws in the case of the wives oi
general officers, for surely congress
ought to follow and be bound by its own
enactments. Mrs. Hunter is entitled
to pension, and she ought to have 1t,
but let her take it under the same law
that the wife Of the common soldier
took hers, and if the law Is not gener
GUS enough amend it. These specia
pension laws are suspicious and shoulG
be regarded with distrust.

Tariff Inequalities.
fHnta..o MI


Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner
of the federal bureau Of labor, in his
first annual report, publishes some glar-
ing Inequalities in the tariff on wooden
cloths. He also shows how these in
equaiities press upon the working
classes in the United States; he demands
an adjustment of rates of duty on manu-
factured goods which should be in -ac-
cordance with the labor cost of produc-
ton If the present rates of duty are to
be continued; and insists that the law
making power should see to it that the
tariff shall be regulated on the basis of
justice and science, and not on q hap
hazard basis which affects only indi-
vidual interests and oftentimes inflicts
general harm.
Mr.. Wright's interesting report con-
tains table relative to wooden and
mixed goods manufactured at Leeds,
England, or distributed from that trade
center. 1t specifies the quality, size,
and weight of thirty-six kinds of cloth,
prices at factory, which the duty rep
resents, and, finally, the cost of the
goods per yard in New York, not in
cluding packing, carriage to port, ocean
The main interest to US in this table
is that the duty is far heaviest on cheap
cloths used by the poor, and Tar light
est on clothes used by the rich.
Thus, the duty on west of England
broad-cloth, costing at factory, $500 a
yard, is so per cent, while the duty on
cotton warp reversible, costing at facto-
ry 45 cents yard, amounts to the enor-
nous total of180 per cent, or not less
than 81 cents yard. In other words,
the duty increases as the value of the
material decreases.
In fact, If the tariff had been made
directly in the interest of the rich con-
sumner it could not work more COM
pletely and fully in that direction than
it actually does. Such tariff, it is true,
may not compel the United States con-
sumner to buy cloths made in Leeds,
but it most assuredly does enable the
maker of a similar description of cloth
in the United States to charge prices
for his goods which are practically
and virtually heavy tax upon those
who consume them, such persons at
the same time being the least able to
bear the burdens of such tax.
Yet such tariff as this, the inequali-
ties of which press so heavily upon the
labor of the country, is hypocritically
held up by its advocates to public ad-
miration as poor mans tariff-a pro-
lection to wOrkingmen.

~ They are striking oil'' in nearly all
parts of the world. The discovery of petro-
leum in Egypt, near Suez, created some ex-
element in Cairo about three months ago.
The wells are situated in the Diemsah Penin-
sula, on the west coast of the Red Sea, at the
foot of the eminence known as Diebel Zeit,
or the "Oil Mountain" This local name
shows that for long time the locality has
been known to the natives as productive of
petroleum. Two years ago M. Deboy, Bel
gian explorer, was sent to examine the neigh
borhood, and for several months he was en-
gagged in developing the wells. A single well
yielded about two tons day. A short time
ago the Egyptian government, which hoped
for a rich income from petroleum fields easi-
ly accessible from the Red Sea coast, engaged
an American engineer, Mr.. Tweddle, to ex-
anime the wells and ODE their adviser in the
matter of petroleum. Tee reports that have
reached Alexandria probably emanate from
him. Lima, Ohio, may find formidable
rival in the land of the mummies.

A Marvellous Bill for Stationery for
the House of Representatives.
Especial Dispatch to the EnquIrer.l

lcpeclal DlApatcn 70 tne EnqulIer.l
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 2O.-Last week
l gave the detailed appropriations made
by the Legislature last winter, includ-
ing the School Fund, but excluding the
Sinking and Interest Funds, which
were appropriated pro forma.
The appropriations then given
amounted to SIS, 112, ,455 SO; to this should
be added 1894, $50 48 Interest and Sink
ing Fund, making a grand total of S5,-
GAG, 1886 04 of appropriations, the most
startling exhibit of the kind ever made
in the annals of Ohio legislation, and
fully verifying the prediction of FL
nance Chairman Brown, of Warren,
that the Sixty-seventh General Assemb-
ly would prove to he "the most reckless
and extravagant Legislature that ever
assembled at Columbus"
These figures are startling enough,
but the deficiency under the first year
of the Republican "reform" State Gov
ernment is still more startling, and pro-
claims aloud most ruiLous increase of
\ the rate of State taxation. The grand
duplicate of the State foots up 81 $40,
079,86 There is levied and collected
annually for all State purpose 2.9 mills
upon this sum, yielding a revenue of
81, $40, ,727 81. Now let us compare the
appropriations and the revenues:
Total appropriations, all purposes. O4
Total alrevenues, all sources. s.........- 4,S4O727 OF
Deficiency in 18S6...... ,106 10S 81
To meet this deficiency it will be
necessary to add or of a mill to the pre-
sent tax rate, making the rate of taxa
ton 3.6 mills instead of2.9, as at pre-
sent.
From the foregoing official up of the
doings of the stump-tailed Legislature,
the people will see that gang Republi-
can "reform" comes high. The half
million borrowed does not cover one
half the deficiency. There will have to
be another surreptitious transfer of the
funds in the State Treasury.
