Tariff Straw.

A straw that is a sample of great many
that have been brought out in the discussion
of the tariff is furnished In an Incident relat-
ed to John Wanamaker. the famous clothing
merchant to the Philadelphia Press. A well
known English manufacturer, a member Of
Parliament and an able business man, visited
Mr.. Wanamaker while in this country, some
time ago. and solicited some special orders.

Wanamaker inquired why he did not move
one Of his factories over here, and the shrewd
Englishman promptly answered: ''lf Won

General sohofIeId His successor.

The question Of the successor to General
Sheridan in the command of the army has
been settled by the order directing General
Schofeld, the senior major-general to take
command. 1t is not probable that the rank
of lieutenant-general will be revived by Con-
gress for his benefit. There is little senti-
ment in favor of such course, in either
House OF Congress at present. The opinion
seems to be that inasmuch as Sheridan is the
last OF the great generals of the late war,
both the ranks of lieutenant-general and gem
eral should die with him.
Major-General John McAllister Schofeld,
Is in age about six months General Sheri-
dams junior, and was graduated with him at
Wost Point In 1858. In 1861 he was made
brigadier- general of volunteers. He took part
In the principal engagements of the Atlanta
c0mpaign, commanding the troops at the bat
tie of Franklin, led an engagement with
Hoods troops near Marshfeld, in December,
1864, in February, 1865, took command of the
Department of North Carolina, fought the
battle OF Kingston on March and 10, then
Joined Sherman's army at Goldsboro, N. G..
In 1868 General Scho6eld was made Secretary
OF War. In March of the following year he
was assigned to the command of the Depart
ment of the Missouri. In April, 1870, he was
sent to the Department Of the Pacific. Six
years later he became superintendent Of the
West Point Military Academy. On the death
OF General Hancock he was transferred to
the latter's position, and has been since then

probably far from poor. Friends Of the
General living in Chicago presented him
when he succeeded General Sherman in the
command Of the Army with the house in

$4,000. The Generals salary and perquis-
ties have amounted, for the last eight or nine
years, to about $4,000 year, and probably
more than that. While generous liver and
liberal host, he has probably managed to
save fair portion of his salary yearly. At
the time of his death he owned some proper
ty In Chicago and also some in Ohio. Still,
