position from every quarter interested in the
subject of tariff reform. Porter is a promi-
nent protechonist, and has spent the last
few years OF his life in an endeavor to i'm
press the country with the beauties of high
tariff, and his opponents claim that he is so
welded to this theory that it will be morally
impossible for him to make an unbiased and
fair presentation of the country's statistics
bearing on the tariff problem and. the rela-
tons of customs duties and wages. Mr..
Porter was member of the famous tariff
commission, and his peculiar views were
more or less prominently engrossed upon the
report made to congress. Since that time he
visited Europe, and in series of letters to
the American press endeavored to trace the
close connection of American wages and
the war tariff. He has been bitterly attacked
by the tariff reform newspapers of the
country and urged as a man utterly unfit for
the important position to which President
HARRISON has named him.

FARMING OUT PATRONAGE.

The case recently exposed in Mis-
souri, illustrates the natural result of
the apparently favored theory with the
president, that patronage should be
assigned congressman, senators and
local chieftains of the party. This Mis-
souri, man was defeated Republican
candidate for congress. His influence
was sought by ali officeholder who had
held over through the last administra-
ton. although not a Democrat. He
writes to the officeholder that he will
indorse him, but he is by custom en-
titled to the patronage of the district
to compensate him for the expense of
being candidate for congress. 1t is
said that this sort of farming out of the
spoils by bosses and deputy presidents
has been more fully gotten under way
i'll Missouri than in any other state. A
sort of patronage board has been estab-
lished, but has developed internal fric-
ton that has aroused the public. The
case referred to indicates the natural
results of this policy.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-Postmaster

THE TWIGGS SWORDS.
Precious and Historical Blades In
LITIGATION

WASHINGTON, April A.-The court of
claims gave a hearing to-day in the
case of Myers, executor, and
Guedella against the United
States, involving the ownership of
the celebrated Twiggs swords. These
swords, which are very valuable, were
presented to Gen. Twiggs by the United
States and were seized by Gen. Butler
when he took possession of New Or
leans during the war. They have been
in the custody of the treasury de-
partment ever since. Congress passed
an act directing that the
swords be restored to the owners, and
the present suit is to determine which
of the claimants is entitled to them.
The case was argued by j. Randolph
Tucker on behalf of Myers, and Judge
Abbott, of Boston, On behalf of Gued-
ella. A decision will probably be an
nOunced next week.

BELIEVES IN CHANGE,
Four Years Long Enough for a
Postmaster

WASHINGTON. April 24.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General CIarkson to-
day appoin ted about IT'S fourth-class
postmasters. Of this number about 75
per cent were made to fill vacancies
caused by death or resignation. Gen.
Clarkson said to-day that practically no
changes are being made in fourth-eIass
offices except upon sustained charges
against the postmasters, or to improve
the location of the offices. or where the
postmaSters had held Office about four
years. In these cases he said, changes
would continue to be made upon the
recommendation of members of congress
or other competent persons in whose
districts the offices are located. He said
that as the term of Office under govern
ment as well as in state and county of
fees is generally four years, he saw no
good reason for making an exception to
this rule in favor of fourth-class post
masters. He thought that the service
would be improved by making change
as often as once in four years. A peti-
ton was received day or two since
from citizens in town in Indiana who
protested against allowing the postoffice
to longer remain in livery stable.

SHE PAINTED HER LIPS
But When She Drank Her Coffee
the Paint Came Off and Left
Them Pale

Them Pale.
Philadelphia Press
A very funny accident happened at a
reception where bright woman who
was out for the first time after a long
illness, was the victim. Just before she
left home some one said that she bet
ter put some color on her lips, as they
looked perfectly blue. A serpent i'm
the shape of charming girl volun-
teered her mixture, one of carmine and
glycerine (Which, if any is to be used,
is most desirable,) and she carefully
painted the invalid's mouth, putting
the most color in the center, to give
it the desired rosebud effect.
The newly painted was warned that
she could eat or drink anything cold,
but of anything hot she was to beware.
Remembering this, she declined going in
the supper room, and was the center of
group of men, and having the largest
kind of time, when an imp of darkness
in the form of footman came along
with tray on which were cups of coffee,
and glasses of punch. i
Without thought the "ladye faire"
took cup of coffee; she slipped it slow
ly, and then, horror of horrors, made
bad worse by wlping her mouth on
tiny napkin which had been given her.
She soon saw surprise ON the face of
some of the men. One glance at the
damask in her hand told her what was
the matter, and with provincial pres
ence of mind she put it up to her lips
again, leaned on the man nearest to
her, whispered in unified tones that she
was i'll and must go home.
Out of the drawing room, quickly she
got Oh her wraps, and when she was
helped to her carriage the man vino had
been her standby could not resist tell
ing her thal he was sure she must be i'll
because her lips had grown so pale.
However, the men were good fellows
and they never told on her, though she
swore by every one of the Buddhist
gods and all of the Chinese that she'd
submit to green lips before she would
get in such fix again.

THE ARMIES CASE.
Arguments Finished and Judg-

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The court
martial of Maj. George A. Armes was
practically concluded to-day. Judge
Hubbell, Armes' counsel, and Maj.
Davis, the judge advocate, both finished
their arguments, and the latter created
some surprise by requesting that the
evidence against the accused be
charitably construed, ''for the sake of
the helpless and dependent ones who
had no part III the offense." The refer
renee was made to Armes' family of
nine and the several relatives that he
supports. Tomorrow after the record
of to-day's proceedings has been read,
the court will agree on verdict and
then adjourn.

THE CITIZEN sOLDIERY
Will Give the War Department a
Tip on the 3Oth.


WASHINGTON, April 24.-The gather
ing of a large part of the militia of the
country in New York, on the 3Oth of
April next, for the centennial celebra-
ton, is expected to furnish the war de-
partment information that will be of
value in the event of an emergency
arising requiring the presence of troops
for actual military service Capt. D.
M. Taylor, on duty in the office of the
secretary of war, has been detailed to
go to new York to watch the move
ments of the militia with view of as
certaining the best means for the rapid
concentration of troops at single city.
Capt. Taylor calculates that it will take
the soldiers who intend to participate in
the celebration sixteen hours on the
average to reach their destination. The
conditions for securing reliable infor-
nation in regard to the concentration of
troops are believed to be particularly
good at this time, owing to the fact that
the movement of the soldiers will not
be spasmodic, but will be regular under
military instruction. Careful informa-
ton is also expected to be cleaned as to
the best mode of handling troops in
narrow streets, and in the presence of
large crowds.

drawn from the West by the operation
of the tariff laws, and that as long as
the protective system is continued the
center of wealth will continue moving
away from us. There is no other
rational explanation, for while the
greater part of what enriches the nation
is produced in the West, yet all the
profits upon these articles go to the East.
1t is as plain as the nose on a mans
face.
Now that the protectionists are or
ganizing movement in the South to
keep the center of wealth in the East,
would it not be wise for our Western
people, irrespective of party affiliations,
to organize counter movement?
