Tariff Reform Yic,ory.

The election of Judge Williams, demo
crst, over Ridgeway. republican. in the
Nineteenth congressional district cleo
ton last week, was notable victory for
tariff reform. Williams carried every
county in the district, including Saline.
which last November gave Harrison q
majority of 24O. In commenting upon
the result the St. Louis Republic says:
The contest on the democratic side was
made unedr General Palmer's leadership
and in support of the st. Louis platform
demanding a reduction of the tariff taxes
and an economical administration Of the
federal government Under Mr.. Harri-
sons policy. the republicans may win In
Kansas. where, as in the special election
in the Fourth district, they have Is. 600
plurality and no opposition. but in states
like Illinois, where intelligence Is gen
orally diffused and where the peo-
pie examine closely the policy and Of.
fetal acts Of their servants In public
Office. the Harrison policy of high
taxes. extravaganza and spoils bossism is
seriously weakening the republican par
ty. Since March A the republican party
has not gained ground anywhere, and in
the west the elections held during the
spring have been generally favorable to
the party of low taxes, economical govs
eminent and opposition to federal inter-
ference in state affairs through the spoils
system or otherwise. Mr.. Harrison's
declared intention of increasing expendi
ture, Tanners riot with the surplus and
Clarkson's indecencies with the post
offices have not commended the adminis-
tration to the confidence of the people.
On the tariff issue and the record the re-
publican party is now making the demo>
cratic party has the country with it.

Star Route IRREGULARITIES

WAS HNGToN CITY, May 3o.-Assistant
Attorney General Tyner, for the postoffice
department. in the cases Of w. H. Smith,
c. W. Underwood, j. r. Pigg, s. S. Chap
pei, and others, charged with executing If
regular star route contracts, has rendered an
opinion at the request of Second Assistant
Postmaster General Whitfield, in which he
holds that the contracts, about 500 in num-
Der, and amounting to about sl47, 900, are ir-
regular and therefore null and void. He
holds that the proposals upon which the con-
tracts are based, while irregular in some re-
spects, are not invalid, and recommends that
new contracts with these parties, with new
sureties, be executed. This course will prob
ably be followed by Mr.. Whitfield.

for the first seven months of the current fiscaI
year are 800, 900 less than for the same time
