Good Advice to Republicans.

The leading Republican newspaper of the
West, the Chicago Tribune, wants to know
why the Republicans of the House don't in
troduce tariff reform bill of their own. 1t
says: 1.-The continued accumulation of the
surplus revenues in the Treasury will soon
bring about a serious construction of the
currency or place on the statutes a lot of
extravagant money squandering acts, and
If the Republican Congressman persist in a
dog-in-the-nanger policy, and refuse to give
the help necessary to meet the emergency,
or act as obstructionists and allow no re-
forms to be made, they must take the
responsibility and suffer the consequences"
The Tribune understands what the senti-
ment of the West is with regard to the
tariff, and it knows that that sentiment is
in favor of a reduction. If the Republican
Congressman refuse to introduce a tariff
reform measure, or to assist in so amending
the Mills bill that it will be acceptable to
the tariff reformers in the Republican party
OF the West, it will in all probability sup
port the Mills bill. 1t has very little to say
against that bin as it is, and it is probable it
would have nothing whatever to say against
~ IL IL were HOJ DeHlOCTdUlC uledSuFe.
The reports from the West show that in
all the States in that section there is a
strong sentiment among Republicans in
favor of reducing the tariff They don't
want the internal revenue taxes repealed,
because they regard whisky and tobacco as
luxuries, and there is no demand from the
consumers of these articles for the repeal of
the taxes upon them, but they do demand
that the taxes on necessities shall be re-
duced. If their demand is not needed by
their own Representatives they will trans
fer their allegiance to the party whose
Representatives will heed it,
One Western Republican Congressman has
already announced his determination tosup-
port the Mills bill, and there are others who
are very restless. Between the demands of
their constituents and the party whip they
hardly know what to do. They will make
great mistake if they disregard the
wishes of those who elected them
and submit to the dictation of
those who are working in the interest of
the great monopohes which chiefly profit
by the present high protective tariff. The
people of the West have no interest in sus-
tanning these mOnopolies. On the contrary
1t is to their interest that the things they
need in every day life shall be cheapened.
The Chicago Tribune is in the right line,
and Western Congressman, If they are wise
will be guided by it.

A New Story.

The MORNING NEWS will begin the publ
cation of a deeply interesting story next
Sunday entitled The Painter of
Parma, or the Magic of Masterpiece. "
1t is an Italian Story of Love, Mys-
terry and Adventure, and is one of the
very best of the many stories Of that
very popular author, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
1t is probably the last long story that Mr..
Cobb ever wrote, and those who read it
will doubtless agree that in style, plot,
dialogue, portraiture of characters it is
fully equal to the efforts of the best writers
of fiction of the present day. 1t is a story
that viii bring many pleasant hour to the
households into which the MORNING NEWS

The Paper was Protested.


Col Graham, the 49er interested group in
the lobby of the Willard the other night by
pointing out mild looking old gentleman who,
he said, had been connected with more duels
than any other living man.
He is the most noted duelest on the Pacific
slope the colonel proceeded in a reverential
tone. He has been on the field of honor, as
principal, second, or arbitrator fifty-three
times. He has on his body seventeen scars re-
ceived in dues. He has fought with pistols.
swords bowie knives shotguns and clubs. He
was in constant demand as counselor in the
days when dueling was considered the most
honorable way to settle personal difficulties in
California"
Seeing the champion" the colonel con-
tinued reminds me of another noted charac-
ter we had in the duehng days of California.
He was Ned Byrne, of San Francisco, a lively,
shifty fellow. He was appointed Notary Pub
lie, an important office in those days, and was
always on the lookout for protest and affidavit
fees 1t was 1852 that Tom Mcclure came out
to California from New York and built a thea
ter. By some thoughtless remark Tom Nc
CURE gave offense TO one of the most desperate
men in Frisco. and forthwith there was chal-
lenge to fight duel Now, Tom didn't want to
fight, and he didn't know what to do W tn the
challenge. So he posted over to Ned Byrne's
office and asked brother Irishman's advice
"'Why,' said Byrne, protest the paper and
return it to the fellow with non-acceptance'
"'All right, said Mcclure, delighted; put it
through for me, will you, Sduire;'
"Byrne sat down and wrote out a regular no.
tary's protest in legal form, and had it signed,
affixed the big seal of his office, and told Nc,
CURE to deliver it to the challenger's friend
WHATS the charger asked MCGUIRE
my usual fee for protesting challenge is
s., replied the notary, in a business like way,
as if he had protested hundreds of challenges
"'Here's your money said Mcclure: and he
added, little obviously, 4 hope shell stick.
oh, said Byrne, encouragingy, it will
stand. / have protested it according to law
Mcclure returned the challenge and heard
no more about it until day quite a time
afterward the protested challenger stepped up
to him on the street extended his hand and
said admiringly:
TON Mcclure You are my kind of a man. |
want to be your friend. You are the smartest
man in Frisco"
No replied Tom, Il don't consider I'm very
smart but make il my business never to ac-
cept bad paper, and on that principal let yours

Contested Wills.

The contested will suits against the Stew
art and Tilden estates are the sensation in
New York. They will probably be settled
within a reasonable time, but in a good
many instances where rich mems wills have
been contested the delays have been so
numerous that the lawyers managed to get
the greater portion of the estates
1t seems to be almost impossible for
rich people to make wills that do
not invite contest. The late Will
liam H. Vanderbilt, of New York,
was an exception, but he had the advantage
of experience gained in the contest over his
fathers will. Miss Katherine VOLTS will
was not contested, but it probably would
have been if her heirs had not been already
sufficiently wealthy to make a contest a
question of small moment. Jesse Hoyt, a
produce merchant in New York, died in
1882, leaving $SO00,000 A contest of his
will was begun and a young attorney, who
was employed in some capacity by tine con-
testee, presented bill for $40, 900 before the
contest was fairly started.
Mrs. Paran Stevens, of New York, has
helped to make several lawyers rich. Her
husband died in 1872, leaving $4,000, 900.
She was not satisfied with what was given
her, and there has been legal squabble
ever since, with no prospect of termina-
ton during her lifetime. The case against
the Nathaniel Gilman estate has been in the
New York courts for the last thirty years,
and the probability is that it will remain
there as long as there is a penny left to
fight over. 1t is the old story of the oyster
each litigant takes a shell and the lawyers
get the meat.
As long as rich men hoard up their wealth
and seek to dispose OF it in wills, there will
be dissatisfied heirs. The only remedy
seems to be for them to make disposition of
the bulk CT their property while they are
alive. Ii Mr. 1ilden, for instance, had
sought to establish during his lifetime
great public library, there would have
been no obstacle in the way of his doing so.
AS it is, his purpose may be thwarted. The
lawyers would be the losers if such course
were adopted, but generally the public
would be the gamer.

Congressman Lodges Predicament
From the Boston Post.

from He boston fOI.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Republican mem
berS of the Massachusetts delegation have been
enjoying hearty laugh to-day over Mr. odge's
| adventures yesterday. MIR. Lodge has been u
partisan of the partiSans on the floor, speaking
on every election case urging the Republicans
TO attend the sessions to vote together and to
make as much politics as possible out of the
questions before them. Yesterday his party
was making supreme effort to carry through
a $40, OO0,0O0 grab. 1t would seem to be one of
the days when he should have been on hand.
But he laid down the armor of the partisan to
don that of the swell. With the other society
men, and with the daughters of the British Min
lister looking on, he went on a paper hunt. He
had severe tumble, but, nothing daunted, re-
mounted his charger, followed the tantalizing
bits of paper to the finish, and came in the
winner.
He received from Mrs. Cleveland the symbol
of his proweSS, and enjoyed for moment a
flush of triumph. But before the eyes of ad-
miring beauty his triumph suddenly changed to
humiliation. deputy of the Sergeant tat Arms
tapped him on the shoulder and told him he
was wanted at the bar of the House for absence
without leave. Away from the crowd of foam
tieCked horses and eager riders, away from the
presence of the Baron de Strive and the daugh-
tiers of the British Minister, he had to wend his
way under close surveillance to answer his
party and the country for not steadily sustain
ing his comrades in their fight against the Presi-
dent and the national treasury. Mr.. Lodge was
decked out in full hunting suit-top boots, col
ored breeches, and short jacket-and if the dep
uty OF the Sergeant-at-ArmS had pursued the
regular course he would have dragged him be-
fore the bar of the House just as he was But
Mr. Lodge begged hard to be let off. 1t would
ruin him with the Lynn shoemakers to be
brought into the House in that style. So he was
allowed to go home, change his clothes, and
quietly slip into the House dressed in his bust

A curious story about Mrs Logau's pen
sion comes to the surface. 1t is this: Mrs.
Logan is a rec guized power in Washington
social circles, and though her late husband
was not wealthy enough for her to entertain
on very elaborate scale, her receptions
were always successful This was due to
the fact that she is an exceedingly bright
woman-so bright, in fact, that other
society women in Washington became
jealous of her. When Gen. Logan died and
a bill giving $1,000 year to his widow
was proposed, these women went TO
work in quiet way to defeat
the measure. They recognized the
fact tina without the pension money Mrs.
Logan could not afford to remain in Wash
ington. They succeeded in deferring action
on the matter, but their efforts 10 bring
about its defeat failed, and Mrs Logan. if
she concludes TO re-enter society, may again
eclipse them. Wealthy and beautiful
women acting as lobbyists is a new wrinkle

The Story of a Peanut vender.s

little man, with iron-gray hair and
with sharp, steel-gray eyes that have
hunted expression in them, runs a peanut
stand in st. Louis. This little man has the
appearance of premature age, but a couple
of years ago he was called the Little Napo-
leon of the Southwest" His name is Mar
tin Irons.
When the great railroad strike on the
Gould Southwest system was begun in 1885,
Martin Irons controlled thousands of men,
and the commerce of the West could move
only at his command. With the stroke of
his pen he could start in motion the trains
on 5000 miles of railway; at his command
$4,000 men stopped work and engaged in
a conflict between organized labor and
organized capital
At the time the Knights of Labor de
manded the restoration of one Hall to the
position on the Texas Pacific road from
which he had been discharged, the three
chairmen of the executive committees of
the order were constituted strike commit
tee, with absolute power over the move
mtnts of the railroad employees of the Gould
Southwest system. Martin Irons was made
chairman of this committee, and he signed
the order for a strike. He plunged into
the fight with all the energy of his nature
and the deci ion of the committee was car
ried out to the letter. His brothers in the
order were loud in his praise, and he was
even talked of as Mr.. Powderly's successor.
About this time his wife died, and as soon as
the funeral was over ne was back at his post
la1 To IL.
and finally his creditors descended upon
him. In the midst of these troubles he con
tinued to give his efforts TO the strike
The strike failed The employees gradu-
ally went back to work, and by them Mar
tin Irons was made to bear the blame for
the strike and its failure. He was no longer
looked upon as 1.-THE man of iron,n but was
stunned and condemned upon every side.
Though fine mechanic, he was turned
from every workshop. Everywhere he
went he found his name on the black list y
Starvation stared him in the face, and at
last he went to st. Louis to make a preca-
rious living from the sale of peanuts.
A bit of inside history has lately leaked
out that makes the treatment of Martin
Irons the more unjust. 1t transpires that
when the vote on the ordering of the strike
was cast by the three committeeman, he
was the only one who opposed the action
taken He was confident that the strike
would fail and for several days he sue
ceeded in keeping back the order, using
every argument to prevent his fellow-com-
mitteemen from going to extremes. His
counsels were of no avail, and he put his
name to the order calling out the men.
This in brief is the story of two years of the
life of the st. Louis peanut vendor 1t is
small wonder that the little man looks pre-
maturely aged and that his ewes have
hunted expression.
