THE TARIFF and THE SURPLUS

1t is gratifying to see that the necessity for n
revision Of the ta.If with intent to secure great
er protection is urged by the President and the
Secretary Of the Treasury on incomparably
stronger ground than the importance Of curtail-
ing the surplus revenue. Both 60 to the root
Of the matter in observing, Also that a mod
crate reduction in the rate of nearly all pro-
tective duties would result in an increase of
revenue If the object is to cut off revenue
that can be done quickly and surely, as the
Secretary of the Treasury shows, by placing
effectually protective duties upon products
which are not now largely produced in this
country only because such eifectual protection
has never been given. In other cases impor
tant reductions of revenue can be made by
placing on the free list articles which arc NOD.

limits Of cost cannot be, produced in this coun-
Try.
The surplus revenue is not as large as some
have supposed. Mr. Window shows that il
may be about 81 3, 900, 600 If the customs and
other revenue continue as large as they have

of tho New World it is far and away the best
place to locate the Fair in. Some Of our Con-
gressmen, however, are convinced that the idea
is largely prevalent in Washington that New
York does not want the Fair, and urge that
number of our prominent citizens should go
over there and remove that impression. There
can be no objection to this. OF course New
York wants to have the Fair; it has an adj
mirabe site ready and five million dollars
pledged toward the success of the enterprise;
but it is not keeping up a perpetual howl about
the matter, and doesn't see the necessity of
doing 50, either in New-York or Washington
or anywhere else.

lowered in honor Of jefferson Davis Of course
not But if thore were a Democratic Admin
istratiOn at the present time, can we doubt that
this honor would have been paid to the ex-
Secretary of War-an honor that would have
been an insult not only to the men who put
down the Rebellion, but to every loyal heart in
the Union? We have only to recall the action
of Secretary Lamar on the death of Jacob
Thompson in order to answer the question.

The embezzlement of nearly S1Oo, 600 by the
cashier of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of
Representatives will work serious temporary
embarrassment probably to a considerable num-
Der of Congressman, though their losses will
doubtless be made good by adequate legislation
later in the session. There is no question that
better safeguards in paying the salaries of Con-
pfessmen should be adopted. The present sys-
tenn is so loose that it is cause for wonder
that IL has been allowed to prevail so long.

Chippewas on the War Path.

CHICAGO, June 14.-A dispatch
from Mora, Mimi, says, the Chippe-
wa Indians are on the war path again
and there are grave fears of a general
uprising. Already seven Swede
laborers have been massacred and
several hundred laborers and settlers
are now hurrying here for safety.
Sheriff Nicolson rode to town on a
gallop yesterday and gave the alarm.
He also communicated with Gov.
Merriam requesting him to order
state troops to quell the uprising.
The trouble is the outgrowth
of the encroachment by whites
upon the MillelaOs reservation
Recently the contract was awarded
by the settlers to dig ditch for irri-
CATION purposes from MillelaOs lake
to q point on the Smoke river. When
the Indians learned of it they con-
cluded the intention was to drain the
lake and deprive them of their fishing
privileges. Notice was served by the
Indians upon. the contractors, warn
ing them if they did not leave at once
they would be put to death. The
COu VI dCUoI~ gave III ucCu W Iuo Will
ing and put 300 laborers at work.
About noon yesterday they were ar
tackled by a party of 400 Chippe-
was, led by White Snake and Great
Bear. The Indians were in full
war paint, armed with winchester
rifles and tomahawks. The laborers
fled toward this place and were pur-
sued by the savages, who shot and
killed seven men; several others were
wounded but not seriously. The In
dians scalped two of the dead and
mutilated the bodies of two others in
a fiendish manner. The Indians
have been gathering on the south
shore of Millelaos lake for a week.
Wednesday night they engaged in a
war dance, as preliminary to the
massacre.

Cancer can be Cured

DR.. r. c. Black, of Georgia, is in the city
on visit. He has devoted the last six
years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a
remedy from experiments made on very
bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon well, no
signs of it ever having returned.
He has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years. and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged-cured He will

The MaVeriCk DrlIl.


The Galveston News of Thursday
the drill of the Mavericks in maiden
contest:
At II o'clock the Maverick Rifles, a
very handsome looking young COM
pany of San Antonio, came on the
grounds to contest for honors in the
maiden class. Their officers were:
George Hines, captain; Charles Nor
ton, first lieutenant; VIM. Jones right
guide; Henry Baker left guide.
1t was one minute aften eleven
o'clock, the appointed hour
when Captain Hines began the exc
cution of the programme. In present
arms the men were prompt in moving
the piece, but the barrel was not tao
ticaily vertical. The manual was
void of that firmness that is regarded
as essential to its proper execution.
In the stack arms, the butts of the
pieces next to the men were not prop
erly placed. Rather weak in the load
ing, the guns not being held at the
proper angle of twenty-five degrees
with the muzzles down.
At the position of ready, the guns
were badly held, not being uniform.
There was marked unsteadiness in
the oblique firings and recovering
arms. After making the swivel stack
the captain failed to order the align
ment. The manual without the num-
bers was uneven. There were a few
individual errors in the execution of
the fire kneeling. The captain had
the common fault of repeating the
word company too often. A slight err
ror was made by one of the men dis
charging his gun when the captain
gave the command recover. There
were two or three who made errors at
the command cease firing. They los t
distance in forming single rank from
double rank. The alignments in
company front were far from being
what they should have been. The
men kept bad distances in marching
in company front. On left into line
was done very creditably. They
made very good double time wheel
from fixed point, which is severe
test. Fours IN circle at a double time
was we'll done. The lieutenants
made three or four errors in their
movements. In the latter part of
the drill the first platoon failed to
take up the quick time from double
time. At 1885 o'clock the company
marched Oft the ground with 10 min
utes to its credit.
