Customs Commissioner McCalmont, in his an

recommends fixed salaries for all customs off,

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-12-16

The question, will the President veto the
direct tax bills is being quite generally
discussed in the public prints. 1t is about
certain that he will have the opportunity to
do so. The bill passed the Senate very nearly
year ago by a vote of As to 10, and it
passed the House with amendments last
week by vote of 17S to &C. There is not
much, if any, doubt that the Senate will
agree to the amendments
Those who voted against the bill, both in
the Senate and House, were democrats. A
good many democrats, however, voted for
IT, The fact that SO many democrats voted
Tor 1t encourages the belief that if the
President should veto it, there would not
be much trouble in passing it over his veto
The bill provides for taking about SIG, oO0,-
600 out Of the treasury, aud distributing it
among the States which paid it. Nearly all
of it, of course, would go to the northern
| states. New York, for instance, would get
S2,2l3,000. Even Dakota would get 1924.
The argument advanced in favor of tie
bill is that some of the States paid the
direct tax. and others did not, and that it is
only fair that all the states should be placed
upon an equal footing with respect to it,
That can be done, it is declared, only by
returning the tax to those which paid it,
Opinion is divided as to whether the
President will sign the bill. There are some
pretty good reasons for thinking that
he will not, on the ground that it is not con-
stitutional, and also because the direct tax
belongs to period of the country's history
in which many things were done
that did not bear equally upon all
the states For instance, a few years after
the direct tax was levied tax was placed
upon cottSp, which did not bear equally
upon all she states. The cotton tax took
s6S, 600 600 out Of the pockets of the farmers
of the south. If the direct tax is returned,
why should not the cotton tax be?
1 The southern states are certainly in far
greater need Of the cotton tax than the
northern states are of the direct tax The
states of the south are comparatively poor,
while those of the north are rich; and.
besides, the northern states have about
| $4,000 600 distributed among them an
nually in pensions. very considerable part
of which the south has to pay.
The north is strong, and will Of course do
what she pleases. Not only does she get
nearly all the money that is dis
tributed from the treasury, but
she shapes legislation SO as to
confer special benefits upon her people
The tariff bill, which the Senate is now
considering, is a sectional measure, and is
almost wholly in the interest of northern
manufacturers and against the southern
farmers. The effort that was made the
other day by Senators Vest, Harris. Vance
and Berry to have the tax on cotton ties re-
duced was defeated by the republican SEN
ators.
The President has always acted upon his
own Judgment in public matters, and he
will undoubtedly do so In the case of the
direct tax bill. The fact that the bill will
likely be passed over his veto, if he should
veto it, will not influence his action in the
least

Mrs. Whitney Silences Ingalls,.


WASHINGTON, Dec IA Characteristic story
Senator Ingalls, and his bitter and vindictive''
sentiments toward the President. During the
latter part of January President Cleveland gave
a dinner, at which a number of senators,
among other distinguished guests, were present.
Senator ingalls, was among them. 1t so hap
pened that when the party gathered around the
great table in the dining room, Senator ingalls,
found himself seated by the side of we'll
known society lady. IL was the third elaborate
dinner the senator had attended during the
week, and it is presumed that the pangs of dys-
pepSia may have contributed to render him
more than usually iltempered and sarc IstIc
At any rate the senator had very little that was
pleasant to say Of any subject preached
by his neighborS at table. He in-
dulged in number of disagreeable PERSONAL
ties. and finally began TRADE of abuse Of
President Cleveland, at whose dinner table he
tremely annoyed and did her best to let the
senator see it without being obtrusive. The
senator, however, appeared to be oblivious or
in 'ifferent to the feelings of the President s
guests who sat about him, and continued to
speak in disrespectful terms of his host The
lady Is possessed of remarkable tact: she is also
very patient. but this latter quality was we'll
nigh exhausted. Turning to Senator Ingalls,
she said in her very sweetest tones Senator
when invite you 10 dinner shall certainly give
you the place of honor, on my right" The
senator promptly expressed his appreciation Of
this prospective courtesy, and was about TO in
duge in more ELUSIVE compliment when his
fair neighbor interrupted him: Because
senator" said she. If have you within earshot
sha | be sure you are not saying severe things

Where Harrison Was Born.

IT VWU tTVe IIIuItIIIUUUItS JUUTI'II
Writers for the press throughout the country
are continually referring TO South Bend, Ind,
as Gen. Harrison's birth place, whereas be was
born and reared at North Bend, .. The error
is easily acc 5unted for from the fact that South
Bend is large and thriving town, well known
to the travelling public, and North Bend. com
paratively obscure village, situated near Gin
cnnati. South Bend would be proud to count
the general as one of its sons, and doubtless the
honor would be considered mutual. but the In
diana town has no wish to deprive the Ohio
hamlet of any rightful distinction. The latest
story afioat is in the shape of an interview with
an SO-year-old lady of Waterbury, Conn, who is
made to say that she was a school teacher az
South Bend in her earlier years. and cherish9s

the old lady's memory is too vivid or a care

night before, and there wasn't a cent of irsur-

he was simply wild over 100000 worth of

An Outrageous Bill.

From the Netc York Times (Ind)
The bill for ''refunding'' the direct taxes col
leced under the law of August. 1861, is about
as bad piece Of legislation as lobbyists, local
greed, partisan spirit and cowardce combined
could contrive. IL Is not to be doubted that IL
will pass the Senate when it goes back there on
account of the amendment adopted in the
House on Wednesday.
