High Tariff Trusts.
Rochester Post. Exsress. ]

There is no question but that the pres
emit high tariff encourages the formation
of those monopolies that are now common
ly known as ''Trusts," and that reduce
them and once more permit prices of nee
essary commodities to be regulated by
natural laws and free competition. In a
recent speech on the Mills bill, Congress
man Bland gave the following as partial
list of the "Trusts." together with the
amount of bounty the present tariff allows
them to collect from the people. also their
expense for labor. and the excess of tariff
bounty over the amount they pay in wages.
The first column of figures shows the aver
age per cent. of tariff protection. the Sec
ond shows the bonus in each 800. of prod
uct, and the third the whole expense Of
labor in each 500 worth of product:

being confirmed in his seat as head of the
Republican party in Virginia by the &C.

preparing to give the ''Kickers'' a final
knock out. He proposes to haye the ques-

settled by the choosing of the District

the Republican primaries in Virginia to
choose delegates to the Petersburg Con-

tent of this device Of the adroit Chairman.
The Kicker" electors chosen will be few
and far between-very few and very far.

GAMBLING SCANDALS.

The REcoRD-UNIoN has always held
that gaming can be suppressed and the
laws against it enforced. During a por-
tion of Chief Jackson's term in this city
and also during a part of the term of Chief
Lee it was suppressed and the soundness of
the position stated was thus established.
This journal still maintains, and will, that
any confession that the laws against gam
ing cannot be enforced is unjustifable and
absurd. However that may be, the law
forbids certain games, and city and county
peace officers are sworn to support and en-
force the laws. Any idea of compromises,
therefore, by licensing, are out of the
question. When the present Chief of Po-
lice was elected it was with the under
standing, publicly declared and enunci-
ated in platform, that unlawful gaming
should be suppressed, and for some time
it was. During the State Fair weeks
gaming was carried on openly and above
board, to the great scandal of the city.
The RECORD UNION denounced the shame
in unmeasured terms, and expressed the
general public chagrin that the Law was
unenforeed. Some time after the RECORD
UNION pointed out that tan and lottery
games were running in Chinatown, and
that their proprietors claimed that they
paid regular assessments for immunity
from arrest and that levies were also made
upon Chinese prostitutes We went so far
as to print the names of the proprietors
of tan games and lotteries and indicate
the localities where they conducted them.
On the incoming of the new Chief of Po-
lice it was expected that such information,
if no other, would lead to their suppress
Sion as well as to general enforcement of
the law. There appears to be no question
that unlawful games are run in the city
in plenty; the only question is, why
The first Grand Jury since the removal
of the scandals is now in session, and is re-
ported to be investigating them. Let it
go to the bottom of the whole matter.
1t is expected by the people that the in
QUESTION will be thorough, and blame be
attached where it belongs. Heretofore
exposure and protest by press and people
have had so little effect in securing needed
activity and duty doing from police Off
cials that disgust has taken the place of
expectation and greatly displaced hope.
But since Grand Jury has been i'm
paneled that has had the courage to take
up the matter, let it maintain its resolu-
tion until the cancer is excised and the
whole scandal laid bare, no matter where
the knife cuts.
