WELLER, who until recently was un-
known to fame, has suddenly bounced
into prominence as the recipient of a let
ter from Roscoe Conkling relative to the
latter's support of our Jerry's presiden-
tial boom. Rusk is good, honest man
and has made good governor, though
ninety-nine times out of hundred it
would be unsafe to select such man for
such position. Every one felt that he
was not candidate whose pretensions a
scholarly man like Conkling would favor.
But it was asserted with considerable
reiteration that he was Conkling's choice
and now the New York Adonis writes that
he knows not how the report originated.
Gov. Rusk has a number of fool friends
throughout the state who make him ap-
pear ridiculous. "Save me from my
friends, for my enemies I know.

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER is frequently
in maudlin condition, but he says many
good things when he is stirred up. AS
he has only short term of service as
senator left, the republicans are not as
dilgent as they were in attempts to keep
him in good humor. Riddleberger had a
little dispute with Sherman on Monday
and had decidedly the best of it. The
Virginia senator wants the executive
sessions of the senate public and upon
asking Sherman to state the terms of the
pending treaty with Great Britain rela-
tive to extradition, the Ohio statesman
somewhat pompously announced he
would not be SO ungentlemanly as to d.
vulge the secrets of an executive session.
Riddleberger promptly replied that he
(Sherman) showed no hesitancy in writ
ing letter to republican club telling
what he intended doing in executive ses-
sion with the confirmation of Lamar
The presiding officer at this stage called
Riddleberger to order and Sherman was
spared the trouble Of attempting to ex-
plain his inconsistency.

been bounced and democrat put in his

tells an anxious public that he was sol

and he needed the money; but he was
forced to go and to give up the So per

Good Heavens, what is this country COM

petrated as the changing of postmasters
at Lena, Wis? The only thing left the
poor, bounced postmaster who made IS

JOHN A. JOHNSON of Madison, whose
tariff article has attracted SO much at
tention, has petitioned congress to re-
move the tariff from all agricultural i'm
plements. He is himself manufacturer
of agricultural implements and the charge
that his protectionist views are due to
self interest has led him to this step. In
a personal letter to the editor of The
Pilot he states that agricultural nipple
ments are sold cheaper in the United
States than in England, and that in con-
sequence his views could not be the re-
suit of self-seek;ng.

JOHN e. BURTON is having high old
time of it and his great wealth may be
made to melt away by the suits being
brought against him. Burton made
money by selling mining stock, not by
developing mines. He offered guarantees
for the value of the stock sold, and now
the purchasers are coming back on him.
Burton is by no means dishonest man
and had full faith in the representations
he made. While he was prosperous the
newspapers could not praise him too
highly. Now when he is in danger of
losing his fortune he is no longer an OBJ
iect of admiration.

THE Times correspondent who puts
some questions to the editor of The Pilot
is entitled to the courtesy of reply as
he puts his questions In spirit of fair
ness and manifests some knowledge of
the subject on which he writes. The
Pilot will answer categorically:
l. No.
3. The tariff tax should be only for
the purpose OF providing a revenue to
pay the legitimate expenses of govern
ment and supplemental to that realized
by revenue secured through taxation OF
tobacco and whiskey. Whiskey, as here
used, Is meant to be comprehensive
term including all alcoholic beverages.
clubbing on terms serves no good pur-
pose in the discussion of an economic
question. A tariff for revenue is perfect
ly consistent with free trade doctrine.
The nomenclature of political economy
is used rather loosely. Free trade" in
the present status OF the tariff question
means the abolition of prohibitory tariff
The iniquity of the present tariff consists
in permitting domestic manufacturers to
collect sum equal to the tariff on like
goods OF foreign manufacture, from the
consumer. The protective tariff enables
the domestic manufacturer to do this and
by preventing competition interferes with
free trade.
The editor OF The Pilot is "free trad
e. 20 an extent transcending this idea,
but does not advocate the adoption of
his ideas for the very good reason that in
the present state of feeling it would be
deemed visionary. Indirect taxation is
an unmixed evil but people much prefer
to pay taxes in disguise. If taxes for the
expenses of the general government were
direct there would be no surplus to vex
the spirit OF statesmen, and government
would be economically administered. No
such bill as that for pensioning Mrs.
Price would then be introduced.
So much in answer to the correspon-
dent who has propounded questions. 1t
may be well to remind him that questions
should have reference to matters pertain
ing to the tariff and if at all personal
| should relate to some inconsistency in
the arguments of the person to whom
| addressed. There is no pleasure in a con-
troversy unless some principle is involv-
| ed and The Pilot has no disposition to
| engage in a controversial duel unless
some of its readers derive some benefit.
At the very best a local paper can no
more than touch the vital issues involved
in this question, and it is arrant conceit
to assume absolute knowledge of mat
ter on which men of acknowledged repu-
tation differ. Some good will come of
| diverting attention from unreasoning par
tisanship to something vital, if party
fealty does not lead the inquiry. But
here lies the danger, and we have persons
assuming to talk tariff and settling
questions "off hand" which require the
careful investigation of the most profound
minds This, on the presumption that
the party is right. Any argument of worth
on either side cannot but prove valuable;
but mere assumption is the veriest rub
| bish.s

To the Editor of The Pilot After
reading in The Times Mr.. Schuette's re-
ply to my criticism of his plan for reduc-

could be construed by him into personal
abuse. Certainly nothing was further
from my mind than purpose to say any.

personal attack for, aside from the I'm.
willingness to disturb the pleasant rela-
tions which have enlisted between us fo1

sound In economies could be man who
was unusually sound in business matters,
but it was the first thought that came in
to my mind after reading his unique plan

but leave your readers to draw from the
arguments pro and con their own con-
| illusions.

to affirm that he would, were he MEM

fronted with the problem of surplus,

make OF the excess of national revenue.
l hope that he will not regard the ques
ton as too trivial for his notice and insist
| that the affairs of nation have nothing
IN common with those of county, for
that would oblige him to demonstrate
that the laws OF finance vary in propor-
tlon to the size of the communities on
which they operate and am afraid that
Mr.. Schuette would find himself lost in
the mazes of his demonstration.
In saying that his plan ran afoul of the
constitution / assumed, possibly erron-
eously, that he contemplated not only
the expenditure OF the present surplus
revenue but continuance of the fiscal
policy which has created it. While the
expenditure of money in the construction
of public buildings is constitutional ex-
erclse of power, it is must insist, clearly
an unconstitutional use OF the taxing
power Of the government 10 employ it in
creating surplus. A surplus means
that more money has been taken from
the people than all legitimate expenses
of the government require and for that
no warrant can be found in the constitu- |
ton.
