Judge Thurman Interviewed.


PrTTsBURa, Oct. 6.-The Dispatch pub
fishes an interview with Judge Thurman.
When asked what he thought of the Senate
tariff bill, Judge Thurman replied: 1t Ia
badly planned measure and only aggra
Yates the evil. l notice they copy after the
Mile bill very largely. I haven't read it In
its entirety, but know enough about 1t to
say that it is not nearly as good a mea
sure as the Mills bill. 1t is nothing more
than bid for votes. They keep up the
tariff on manufactured articles to capture
the vote of the manufacturer, and likewise
the duty is preserved on raw materials TO
pesse,ths farmers. 1t is badly mixed af.
fair. I saw somewhere that General Harri-
son said, either in his message or In one Of
his speeches, am not sure which, that there
was no necessity to bother about the eur
plus; hut see the republican Senators diff
fer with him. They claim that their bill
will reduce the surplus about SIS, 0OO, OOO
You see they are not consistent. Why
should The poor man pay heavy tax on his
clothing, HE blankets and what he eats?
There Is no sense in go much taxation. The
principle is wrong, and then to deceive the
people they state that the duty is levied at
30 much per square yard al uGlorem. How
many people are there who understood
that?n When asked what he thought OF Mr..
Blaine's statement made at Detroit about
pra,;da1t NlayoIo ~, moo of Tho yatn pnwer,
he said "Well, l don't think anything
about it. have heard what Mr.. Blaine as
serted, of course, but what does he mean
Mr.. Cleveland has signed more pension bills
than any other President ever in office. and
what if he has vetoed 200 or 300 or whatever
Mr.. Blaine said ? Granted that he has sign.
ed more in proportion than all the other
Presidents together, haven't counted up
the number vetoed or signed, and don't
care straw about it; but why didn't the
Senate pass those bills over his veto if they
wanted them to pass? They had the pow
er to do it and yet they did nothing at all
The law requires that the Senate shall con
slider all such bills aud if they don't do it
who ia to bame?" Speaking Of trusts Mr..
Thurman said: "Mr. Blaine says that truss
are private affairs and neither the President
nor the people has anything to do with
them. but John Sherman doesn't think 30.
He introduced a bill in the Senate to have
them suppressed. In England the common
law would wipe them out. Here they have
grown up through the avariciousness of man
and the protection policy does much to fos-
ter them. 1 do not say that they are the
direct outgrowth of the system of protec-
ton, but the plan of levying excessive duties
has helped them. Trusts are made for the
purpose OF putting up prices. They have
become grinding monopolies and the laws
of the land should be enforced against
them"
WARRINGTON, Oct. 6-Judge Thurman
and son arrived here this morning about
o'clock. Mrs. Thurman and children went
on to Baltimore During the day the Judge
will consult with the other attorneys in the
telephone case, and this afternoon will go
out to Oak View, where he will be the guest
of the President over Sunday.

bill. there can not be found single man
who il at sl interested in any of the numer-
Gus trusts that now sifliot the poor people Of
the country by raising the price OF the nee.

bill not only does not act pjuriousy upon
any of these trusts, but actually stimulates,
fosters and protects them. The bill referred
to is based upon the principle that the rich
must prosper though the poor may starve.

Choirs were not common in New
England until about the time of the
Revolution, although few existed in
small towns as early as 1850. Mr..
Brooks quotes from writer in the
New England Chronicle of 1923, who
says: "Truly, have great jealousy
that if we once begin to sing by rule,
the next thing will be to pray by rule,
and preach by rule; and then comes
Popery." Mr.. Brooks further tells us
the story of an old New England dea-
con whose duty it was to cline out"
the hymn to be sung: son one occa-
sion, finding some difficulty, from fail
ing sight, in reading the first line, he
apologized by observing:
My eyes indeed are very blind
The choir, who had been impatiently
waiting for the whole line, thinking
this to be the first of common metre
hymn, Immediately sang it-whereup-
on the deacon exclaimed with en-
phasis:
Il cannot see at ALL
This they also sang. Then the as
tOnished deacon cried out:
Il really believe you are bewitched =
On which the choir responded:
L really believe you are bewitched.'
The deacon added:
'The mischief's in you all =
The choir then finished the verse by
echoing this last line, and the deacon
sat down in despair"

ready has recognized frankly and pub
licly the obligation of reducing at
once the enormous surplus which now
is pouring into the national treasury
at the rate of about S40O,OOO day !;
and President Arthur preceded Presi-
dent Cleveland in demanding such a
reduction in one of his messages to
congress. An important distinction
also must be insisted upon, viz: that
the debate which is at hand is not to
be between the adv coates of protection
and those of actual free trade. The is
sue is whether the tariff shall be high
or low, and upon what it ought to be
laid. 1t may be fair to call the sup
porters of the high duties on imports
"protectionists," but very few of their
opponents are "free-traders." There
are some advocates of actual free
trade among us, but most, even of
those who believe in it theoretically,
would refuse to indOrse any attempt to
establish it here at present. So radi-
cal reversal of our present policy
would be unsafe. What the most en-
lightened men of each party are labor
ing for is considerable reduction of
taxation so adjusted as to cause the
widest reach of the popular relief; and
this, in some form, the public at large
demands, and will insist upon having.

not accomplish this !; but a thorough
organization like that now forming may
do it. Let there be republican club,
then, in every town, whose business it
shall be to have every republican at
the polls in September, and Vermont
will give such majority as never be-
fore. Let us not be r-troubled
about the candidate, nor give ourselves
away in advance, but be ready to rally
in support of him, whoever he may be
for he will be good man-whom
the judgment of the convention may
select as the best one to lead us to VIC
tory. Then, "with the Vermonters
ahead and the column we'll closed up, u
the grand old republican party, on her
old platform of protection to American
industries and American labor, to the
Union soldier, to the ballot box, to
temperance and to civil service reform,
shall again take her old place at the
helm.

KING MWANGA'S FRIGHT.

The savage ruler of Uganda, King
Mwanga, who murdered Bishop Han
ningtOn and many of his Christian sub
jects while ago, thought judgment
was about to overtake him when he
heard while ago that Stanley was on
the way to Central Africa. 1t will be
remembered that before the king or
dered the murder of Harrington he
called his counsellors around him, and
the distinguished gentlemen discussed
the probability that the whites would
make them suffer if they put the bis
hop to death. The strong point was
raised that two white men had been
killed few years before by a chief at
the south end of Victoria Nyanza, and
the murderer had never been called to
account for his crime. 1t was, there
fore, inferred that Bishop Harrington
could be murdered with impunity and
the unhappy mans fate was sealed.
But when the Arabs told Mwanga
that Stanley was coming, his first
thought was that the whites had been
ing off of Harrington. Had it been
when the Arabs told him that the white
man was coming with 1000 guns. He
summoned in hot haste the missionary
Mackay, whom he had long held a
prisoner. Mackay writes that there
would have been terrible panic if he
had not succeeded in calming the fears
of the king. He told the despot that
Stanley was coming to the relief of
Emin Pasha, and he was not certain
that he intended to visit Uganda at all.
He could not have 1000 guns with him,
because there were only 600 men in his
party, most of whom were heavily la
den with goods.
'Do you think" asked the king,
"that Kaba Rega will let Stanley cross
his country to Uganda 2"
81 don't know" answered Mackay :;
"but if he does, l am sure that Stanley
will come here with peaceful inten
tiOns, if he comes at ALL"
Kaba Rega is Mwanga's powerful
enemy, with whom he is frequently at
war. His country lies between Emin
Pasha's district and Uganda, the great
country which Mwanga misgoverns.
Another fear haunted the king. Sup
pose Stanley should come, it would
not be pleasant to have Mackay accuse
his dusky highness of having forcibly
detained him many months after he
had asked permission to depart. He
therefore decided that Mackay should
not stay upon the order of his going,
but go at once. He gave him scant
time to pack his baggage, and packed
him off down the lake, and Mr.. Mackay
is now supposed to be en- route for
Europe.
