THE DUTY ON LEAD.

WASHINGTON. May l4.-Therc was
conference at the Arlington hotel this
evening Of gentlemen interested in the
lead mining and smelling industry for
the purpose Of agreeing upon plan Of
procedure at a hearing to be given them
tomorrow by Assistant Secretary
Tichenor, Of the treasury department.
1t is desired to secure modification
Of the ruling of the department, holding
that whenever silver forms component
material Of chief value in importance Of
silver and lead ores, the lead ore, as well
as silver ore, shall be entitled to customs
entry free Of duty. It is assessed that
under this ruling large quantities Of lead
are being imported free CT duty from
Mexico, to the serious injury Of the lead
industry of the United States.
1t is coutended that the ruling Of the
department is erroneous and that it was
tuo iutouOiOu VI CouFioSo W manu- icoO
ores dutiable where there was greater
quantito Of lead than Of silver in the
importation, Notwithstanding that the
value of the silver might be greater than
that of lead.
The Importation Of silver with lead, it
is alleged, is made in many cases for no
purpose tan to avoid the payment Of
tho duty on lead. 1t is said that the
persons at the conference represent
100000, 900, and that the admission Of
lead free of duty affects their business to
the extent Of millions Of dollars.
| Among those who will appear before
Mr.. Ticheuor are as follows: Senator
Walcott aud ex-governor Grant, Of
Colorado; c. w. Bennett, W. G,
Vanhorn aud R. H. Terhune, of Utah

Referring again to the increased cost
of state government, and admitting that
there will b. moderate necessary in
crease of expenditure, attention is called
to the generosity with which great
nation comes to the help OF a young
commonwealth. The magnificent dowry
promised by congress far outwciShs all
the direct loss of revenue from the
Federal treasury, and all the reasonable
increase Of cost of state government.
U uder the bills unanimously reported
by the committees of both houses Of
congress, gifts to the proposed state of

Deduct from this the lava bed and

to sell these lands at once In open mar,

special tax for its support when the

market it is probably that this tax can
be entirely remitted. Three other ex-
cellent educational institutions can be
based upon tho grants for agricultural,
scieuti6c and normal schools. We are
paying $4,000 annually for the support
Of an Insane asylum; ultimately the
congressional grant may take this

Ing that our laws confer no rank

Of Egypt. 1t IL this class which sup
plies the "bear- leader" About them
howl and cringe the society pariah
dogs, who feast upon the reflected
glory of rank which occasionally falls
TO their share.
1t Is useless to deny the truth of
this observation; careful study of
American uppertendom will render
its refutation impossible. BE IL said,
however, TO the credit of Chicago, that
there Is less tuft-hunting here than
elsewhere. We have our bear leaders
and our pariah dogs, but both camp
on the outskirts of society, and are
compelled, from the very virtue of
their position, to hunt American
tufts as well as foreign titles.

The sale Of seats for the the engage
ments Of Robson and Crane at the
Chicago Opera House began on Thurs
day, March 14th. The engagement
will begin on the 18th. The comedians
will appear In their remarkable sue
cess, "The Henrietta" and will play
an engagement OF four weeks. This
will positively be the last time that
Robson and Crane will play together.
Next year both of them go before the
public as individual stars. 1.-THE
Henrietta" Is the most successful play
that has ever been written by Bronson
Howard, and has been recognized as
the greatest comedy put forth by any
American. 1t Is played by an admir-
able company.
The date of the Metropolitan Opera
House Company's engagement at the
Chicago Opera House is April 22nd.
This, no doubt, will be the most
notable grand opera engagement that
has ever been played In Chicago.
There will be only fourteen perform
ances, and tickets can be secured by
mail or telegraph. The sale of seats
will begin about ten days before the
opening of the engagement. The
price OF seats will range from OIL to -.
One of the most notable features of
the engagement will be the presents-
ton of the Wagner cycle of operas,
including "Walkure," "The Rhine
gold" and "Gotterdamerung." The
orchestra will comprise over seventy
five musicians, and the company will
include over two hundred people.
The entire composition of the Metro
politan Opera Company will be
brought here, including scenery, prop
critics and other paraphernalia.

Positively the Latest Meanest Man.
London Figaro.

London Figaro.
The height of meanness has been
often defined. have heard for instance,
that IL has been reached by q man
who, having been rescued from q wa
terry grave in the Serpentins during
the skating season and duly brought
around, after much trouble, In the
Royal Humane society's receiving
house, promptly stole the graphing
irons as he lett the place and sold them
for old metal on his way home. An
other definition asserts that the height
of meanness consists In giving blind
man a shilling and taking full change
for IL out of his hat. Bat the Wood
bridge Gazette now claims for that
town the credit of possessing the
meanest man in the person Of a mis-
erly yeoman who refused TO allow his
daughter to receive a sealskin jacket
from her uncle as present because,
forsooth, he could not afford to pay
for the camphor which would be
needed to keep the moths out of il
during the winter.

Cringeing American Toadyism.

Cringeing American Toadyism.
America.
In human nature, the most despic-
ie trait Is that of the cringing toady-
la which prompts men and women
demean themselves by a senseless
Drship of inherited rank. This
ecies of insanity, for Ii can be called
no other name when found in
merica, seems to be increasing in the
ltio of the number OF titled idols
besented tor worship. In the east
le disease has developed TO an alarm
fg degree. and the numbers of pseudo
americans who tumble over each
fher in cringing attempts TO worship
! the shrine of some impecunious or
lrofligate lordling, is assuming dis
Iusting proportions.
Most prominent among the Ameri-
an turf-hunters is the "bear- leader. !"
fhis creature is the person who takes
upon himself to show of the titled
Yonder to the admirng gaze of an un-
american society. The first care of
he profligate or pauper who is
possessed OF title and wishes to be-
ome real, roaring American lion, is
% secure a competent "bear- leader. /"
This is easist done by obtaining a
letter of introduction to some New
ork society leader. AS the latter
IRE all praying fortune to send some
princeling their way, and will gladly
accept anything from an III. II. III. to
> third assistant lord of the back
stairs, this is not difficult task.
Once possessed OF such letter, he has
out TO land in New York and present
his papers the rest is easy enough.
Having obtained his leader, he has
only to dance TO the formers call, and
he will, if he So desire, receive both
the daughters and the ducats of a
class whose wealth weighs more i'm
the social balance that its self respect.
When we consider that there is not
a royal family in all Europe which is
by vice; when we remem-
Der that the vast majority of the
80 called nobility are dissolute and
lazy and that those who are entitled
to respect have won that right because
they are men of ability, and not be-
cause they were born TO greatness, we
may well ask why Americans should
get down and grovel in the slime OF
servility to unearned
rank. Hospitality is one of the great
est of human virtues, but when that
is misdirected it is an
evil. We may receive with respect
and consideration Europeans who have
made their mark as men of ability,
and reflect credit thereby upon our
hospitality and discrimina-
ton, but there is no need for Ameri-
cans to debase themselves by rushing
after men whose actions would justify
their social ostracism merely because
the feudal laws of some foreign land
have prefxed titles to their names.
There Is class In American society
which has won wealth by hard and
work. Their wives,
their sons and their daughters seek
notoriety In social success, and, find-
