Carnegie's reduction of wages both
ers the protection organs It Is diff
cult to say with serious face that
protection keeps up wages when the
best protected concern in the country
is in the very act of reducing wages
The plea of confession and avoidance
which is now most popular among pro-
tectionists is that Carnegie sells steel
rails nearly as cheap as English rails
can be bought, with freight added, and
yet pays double the wages paid to the
same class of labor in England If this
were true it would prove that wages
do not depend on protection; for if
they did, Carnegie would have to sell
his rails for a much higher price than
English rails sell for to enable him to
pay double English wages. If it we're
true it would not be true long, for
there is nothing to keep English WORK.
men out of Mr.. Carnegie's shops, ana
they would come there like flies to
carcass if they could get double the
wages they get at home The simple
fact is that Mr. Carnegie gets All he
can out of the protective tariff and
gives 40 more of it in wages than he
can help.-N. 7. Standard

oBERlYS SUCCESSOR.

A Man with . Blemfshed History Selectoo
for nm Important Once.
MIR. John 81. Oberly, a Democrat, who
in several official capacities had made
an excellent record, was recently re-
moved by President Harrison from tho
Office of Commissioner of Indian Az
fairs, although his retention was
prayed for by the Indian Rights As
ISOLATION and by several thousand Re-
publicans and Democrats who were
familiar with the good work he had
done in the Indian Bureau. Mr.. James
I. Morgan was appointed his sue
cessor. The record of the War De-
partment show that Morgan. while
Colonel of the Fourteenth u. S. Col
ored Infantry, was tried in 1885 by q
court-martia1 and found guilty on
various charges. as follows: OF having
made false charges against a fellow
officer; of having, while custodian of
recommendations for advancement for
himself and a fellow-officer, retained
the latter and forwarded only those
in his own favor, and of having made
false musters for companies in his
regiment to his pecuniary advantage.
On these charges, with specifications,
Colonel Morgan was found guilty by
the unanimous verdict of the court and
sentenced to dismissal. When this
sentence reached the department head
quarters it was set aside in the manner
thus described in the records:
In the foregoing cases of Colonel Thomas ].
Morgan, Fourteenth United States Colored
nyrrf h inrp fnvrv fho anrrco cd
guilty of the first charge, the violation of the
fifteenth article OF war, had not authority to
change the sentence prescribed in that article
for such ofenses, and the failure to conform
to the requirement Of the above article in
sentencing the accused is an error fatal to the
proceedings and judgment of the court SO far
as it relates to the first charge.
The requirement of the fifteenth
article Of war was that an officer
found guilty of violating it should be
.'cashiered," and thereby utterly dis
abled to have or hold any Office or en-
ployment in the service of the United
States.
The New York Times says:
We suppose that it will be conceded that the
Indian Commissioner ought to be a pure and
honest mar. That is true, indeed, OF any pub
lie officer, but it is most important in this case,
because dishonest or dishonorable conduct
may inf1ict great injury on the Indians, who
are peculiarly helpless, and may greatly COM
promise the Government, which has already
suffered deeply from the inefhciency and cor
ruptIon OF its agents.
How the President manages to find
so many men with blemished records
for important offices is a good deal of
a mystery. He has made more inn
proper appointments since he became
President than any of his predecessors
made in full term, Grant alone ex.
cepted. -Indianapolis Journal.

TOM PLATT'S PARTY.
Party Struggle That May Disrupt tn,
Republican Party.

Party Struggle That May Disrupt the
Republican Party.
Either Tom Platt is going into the
Cabinet or there is going to be trouble
for President Harrison in New York.
The fight is on and the return of Mr..
Platt from Alaska, where he has
gone to recruit his strength, will be a
signal for the fray.
Tom Platt represents the working
Republicans of the Empire State-the
men who control the organization of
the party from the primary to the
election OF delegates to a National
convention. These Republicans have
been ignored by the President SO far.
Acting under the advice of Mr.. Blaine,
undoubtedly. Mr.. Harrison has de-
clined to recognize the claims of Mr..
Platt or his friends. IN the distribu-
ton of offices in New York up to this
time the recommendations of the
Platt men have been treated with
little less than contempt. At length
they have come to the conclusion that
war on the Administration is the only
means by which they can secure what
they are pleased to term their rights.
They will do no more pleading or
begging nor will they accept any
thing less than the very best at the
disposal of the Executive. The
favors which the Administration
is expected to bestow upon them
for the return of a cessation of hos
tilities must be headed by the ap-
pointment of Tom Plat to a position
In the Cabinet. If this can not be
brought about the working Repub-
Hcans of the State are determined
that he shall succeed Mr.. Evarts In
the Senate, and from his place on the
floor of the upper house of Congress
they claim he will open a fight on
Blaine similar to that SO web begun
and 80 ignobly ended in Garfield s
time.
The admission of Tom Platt to the
Cabinet by President Harrison would
be q notice to James G. Blaine that
he was no longer wanted. and would
be so accepted by the Maine states
man without delay. Mr.. Plat and
Mr.. Blaine could not sit at the same
table in the White House The chasm
between them is SO wide and so deep
that it can never be bridged over. II
remains with Mr.. Harrison to decid..
whether he shall stand by Blaine o,
whether he shall run the risk of
losing the vote of New York State in
the convention of 1892.
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary. Mr. Blaine is in feeble
