An AMERICAN BLOCKADE RUNNER CAPTURED
A telegram has been received by Acting Secre-

ing no details.
PROF. ALBRo, the newly-appointed superin-
tendent of Indian schools, is expected here in

The Drummer Tax Unconstitutional.
DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
In an opinion rendered by Justice Bradley,
in the drummer tax case Of VIM. G. Asher vs..
the state Of Texas, the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day declared unconstitutional
all state laws imposing license tax upon COM
mercial travellers not residents Of the state i'm
posing the tax. Asher was a resident Of New
Orleans, and while selling goods by sample in
Texas was arrested and fined for violation of
the state law, making it o misdemeanor for any
person to do business as a commercial trav-
eler without having first taken out an
occupation tar. Asher contested the con-
stitutionality Of this statute, taking the ground
that it was repugnant to the clause
of the Constitution giving Congress the exclu-
sive right to regulate interstate commerce.
The State Court deciding against him, Asher
appealed the case to the Supreme Court,
which to-day gave a decision in his favor
The court, in its opinion, says
that it sees no difference between
this and the Robbins Tennessee case, in which
the State laws was held to be unconstitutional
As to the contention of the authorities Of Texas
that the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Robbins case was in conflict with prior decisions
Of the court, Justice Bradley very dryly says
that even were this true, the court has
always supposed that a later decision has the
effect Of overriding prior decision with which
it may not be in harmony. The court then
says: 1--WE do not propose to enter into q re-
newed discussion of the matter at this time. z"

NOT READY TO REPORT.
A special meeting Of the school board has
been called to consider the report Of the COM
mittee that has investigated the Brown-Csrdozo
controversy. One of the members Of this COM
mittee said to STAR reporter to-day that the
committee had not yet agreed upon a report,
but would probably have a meeting before
the board meets. The committee has,
however, completed taking testimony. There
has been some criticism Of the committee on
account OF the length Of time taken in investi-
eating and settling this matter. The trouble
arose over quarrel between Principal Cardozo
OF the Colored High School and his assistant
Mr.. Brown. Each gave publicity to statements
criticising the Others efficiency Mr.. Brown wrote
to the school board and demanded that the
charges made against him by Mr.. Cardozo be
investigated After a fortnight of investiga-
ton Mr.. Cardozo wrote to the board complain
ing that he had already spent many hours on
the stand under cross-examination by LAWYER
He thought that if he intended to do anything
else during the school year. he would have
to stop appearing before the committee
He had therefore excused himself from
the stand. The committee complained to
the board that its authority had
been set at naught by this action of the tired
Mr.. Cardozo. In the discussion Of the board
the sentiment was expressed that to defy the
committee was to defy the school board. At
Tue next meeting OF the committee Mr.. Card0Z0
appeared and continued his testimony. Further
time, however, was granted the committee.
A Fatal Blow With q Piece of Brick.
coLoRED YOUTH KILLS HIS RIvAI-ANoTHER
HOMICIDE CASE on TRIAL.
In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery,
another homicide case was called for trial to-
day-that Of Moses Brent, a colored boy Of 10
or 20 years, indicted for the murder Of Charles

q piece of brick, causing q fracture of the skull
Of which he died on the following day. Assist
ant District Attorneys Lipscomb and Mullow-
ney appear for the Government, and Mr.. 7. G.
Taylor for the defendant. 1t is said that both
parties had been paying addresses to the same
girl and that on the day in question they met
on the commons near the jail and had some
words, when Brent first knocked Parker down,
and then used piece Of brick to assault him
and left him lying senselees on the ground
On the following day Parker was found to be in
dying condition in q stable loft. On the
other hand the defendant claims that he was
first attacked, and that he acted in self-defense.
The regular jurors were called, but panel
was not obtained and the drawing Of 50 tails
men, to report at one o'clock, was ordered.
This afternoon q number of talesmen re-
ported, and at lao jury was accepted by both
sides as follows: Chas s. Domer, Bartlett Tay-
lor, Joseph NJ Harrod, Fred. W. Royce, Ed
ward Brick, George @. hardwood, Henry L.

streets southwest and two Of them, Robert Rob-
inson and Richard johnson, engaged in .
friendly scuffie. Both men are employed ct
Burke's stables, in South Washington, and we're
paid of in the afternoon. They had been
drinking, but were not quarrelsome. They
were wrestling when johnson complained Of
being cut or stabbed, but Robinson denied
having used q knife. He remembered
that he had dirk-knife in his pocket In the
struggle johnson had been thrown back Of
Robinson. who said that johnson landed on the
knife. Officer Hstton arrested Robinson and
johnson was attended by Dr.. Winters. II was
claimed by some Of those present that the
knife was in Robinson's hand when the cutting
was done and that he afterward put IL in his
pocket. The case was tried in the Police
Court to-day, and Robinson was given six
months for the assault and was fined $50 or
ninety days for carrying the knife.

ROSSd COMES OUT STRONG.

A great many Democrats are deserving their
party on the tariff question, but ODonoVan
Rosa remains faithful to the cause OF Reform.
In 1884 he voted and worked for Mr. Cleve-
land side by side with the Mugwumps' lnllu-
encing so far as he could all the dynamite
desperadoes associated with him in his deS-
picable calling. Through the hospitable col
umns Of 1.-THE Herald he now proclaims his
intention of supporting the Democratic can
ddatcs, although warned by many OF his CORE
spondents that " the Irish race in this country
cannot consistently swallow the nominations"
He is moved to do this because as Free
Trader he is q tired Of hearing the Irish people
talk about a protective tariff" and does not
think it fair that Celtic prciudiccs against
Great Britain should be made n preteXt Tor
Anglomaniac snobs who flourish by protection
to continue to wax wealthy at the expense OF
the poor man" Our Mugwump friends the
enemy ought not to be deferred by his dynamite
record from receiving their professional aSso-
ciate with open arms. On the main question
Of tariff reform he may be considered by
them as sound to the core, and should be
welcomed as a man and brother. 1.-THE In
dependents are nti-protcction," wrote Mr.
Curtis about the time of Mr.. Blaine's nomina
ton. The dynamite demagogue, too, is anti
protection.
ODonovan Rossa's support Of the free-trad'
cause is not the result Of any bargain made
by the Mills committee There is whiskcl
trust and there is Il sugar trust, each Demo
cratic but there is no dynamite trust. The
only industry with which Rosa has beer
identified is not touched by the Tariff bill
Dynamite has not been placed on the free list
The market for this industry is not affected b.
current legislation, but is left as a frec-trad
Congressman would say, to the unimpcde'
action Of demand and supply. Rosa has take
the stand he has, not in consequence of an
| private understanding with Mr. Mills, like tina
which influenced the wooden-scrcw Dcmocra
| from Connecticut but solely as n matter O
principle. lie does not believe in protection
| for the sake Of protection 1t is " the condi
| ton that confr0nts him." and he comes on
strongly for Cleveland and free trade, an
against those " Anglomanac snobs,' the Amer
can manufacturers. Moreover. he has Yer
poor opinion Of "iyish Republicans who an
patriots for revenue only.p "They arc" h
adds with fine irony, what is (sic) known q
| professional Irishmen.v The Mugwump editor
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-07-26

II seems to "The New York World'' that the
Democratic party cannot be fairly held re-
sponsible for President Cleveland's jail de-
livery. The appointment Of criminals and
disreputabe scoundres in large number to
placcs of trust is not denied. 1t is not denied
that Civil Service pledges and professions have
been insolcntly disregarded. But it is claimed
that the party as whole is in no way re-
snonsible. Well. in that case the responsibility
ali falls upon the President, who is candidate
for reelection. In that case the selection OF
infamous or iisreputable creatures did not hap
pen because he was cheated or overpressed by
his party, but it is evidence of his personal
preference and fondness for vile characters.
This does not seem to THE TRIBUNE a char
table view of the case nor altogether just
view. The facts submitted on Monday,
gathered mainly from Democratic sources,
proved that the President did in many cases
appoint bad men whose vile character was
made known to him, but possibly because he
chose to believe representations OF Democratic
leaders, or to yield to their persuasions or de-
mands, while in other cases disclosure OF the
bad character Of persons appointed made the
President very angry at those who had deceived
him.
Thus the evidence corresponds with a reason
able and charitable view that the President
is 4 man of mixed motives, not always nor
wholly bad capable Of honorable aspirations,
but not morally strong enough to resist the I'M
portunities or threats of party leaders or the
promptings of his own selfish ambition. Cen
orally he wanted to keep up the reputation OF
his Administration. But in particular cases.
one after another, he yielded or was deceived
and so the record of the Administration has be-
come disgraceful. That is the more honest
and also the more charitable view.
But that means an indictment of the party
rather than of the President. If the President
was importuned or threatened, or deceived IL
was by leaders who represented and directed
the party in States and cities and towns. Every
part Of the responsibility which can be honestly
shifted from him must fall Upon the active and
controlling men Of the party, who signed
recommendations and brought to bear power
