missioner Mason was seen ut his office
to-day, and in answer to the inquiry al
10 whether hc had seen tho items in the
Wheeling Register in relation TO Gaugers
N. 5. Davis and l.. 9. Baker, said: ~
have teen the articles in tho Register and
the Same statements made in tho Now
York World and Cincinnati Inquirer.
presume that all the items were written
or inspired by William L. Wilson. The
one in the Cincinnati Inquirer purports
to bc m interview with him. He is,
therefore, responsible for that statement
at any rate, and all are Substantially
alike.
at Is doubtless fact that Wilson's
canvass IS tagging, and he is willing to
do or say almost anything which will
arouse the Democracy OF Hardy and
Hampshire. Tue charges arc 80 abso.
lutely without foundation that they nan
do no one any harm and him no good,
Both the diatilleries referred to began
operations in 1888, and were authorized
by Commissioner Miller. Storekeepers
and gaugers were appointed by Secretary
Fairchild and assigned to duty by Com
missioner Miller, at the instance OF Col.
lector McGraw, and all properly done.
They were compelled to give the dis.
tillers the officers. No blame is to be
attached to Commissioner Miller or Col.
lector McGraw. When I came into
Office | found these two distilleries in
operation with officers assigned. | have
made no change whatever, except to
assign different oilicers to duty, II
have not created any new office or in
creased any SALARY. l have simply con.
tinucd an oilice created by my prede-
cessor, and which | could not haye dis
pensed with had desired. So long as
either distillery is in operation or there
are any spirits in either warehouse an
0llicer must necessarily have charge,
Commissioner Miller very properly as.
signed storeSeeper.gauger instead OF
doth q storekeeper and 4 gauger, thus
saring expenses. The expense is now
aud has been from the beginning at the
minimum.
"Mr. Wilson seems TO think that the
entire influence OF tie Internal Revenue
Oilice is aga;net him. Such statements
are very reckless. The fact is that there
are fewer revenue offices now on duty
or stationed in the Second district than
there have been at any time. since the
organization OF the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
"Mr. Wilson is evidently frightened or
sees ghosts; or, what is more probably
true, he is trying TO arouse his own
people. 1t is always in order, you
know, to abusa revenue officers. He
doubtless thinks it would be easier to
arouse the Democrats Of his district
against revenue officers than to create
enthusiasm for himsalf.
Il have sent the Register q i.ll reply
to the charge, which l take as matter
OF course it will publish"

Tie Grip OF The Octopug.

LIMA, O., Oct. 22.-The Standard Oil
Company gave the producers of the
Northwestern Ohio fields surprise this
morning byagain reducing Buckeye oil
2! cents on barrel, the price now be-
ine 80 cents. This is the third drop in
ths buying figures within as many
weeks. The feeling among operators
here is one OF great unrest, and it il
freely predicted to-day thar the price
will reach the old figure Of Is cents a
barrel before Christmas. Hundreds OF
drillers and other employees would be
thrown out OF employment within the
next two weeks on account OF the de-
crease in the product, and the oil men
OF Ohio are gloomy indeed. The Stand.
ard, however, is master oi the situation
and makes such terms as it sees fit.

Why Pittsburgh VIII Have Il Now Psnslun
Agent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. GA new pension
agent at Pittsburgh will probably be up
pointed by the President to.day or to-
morrow. The appropriation act for the
payment OF invalid and other pensions
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891,
provided among other things" "Any pen.
sion agent may designate and authorize
clerk to sign the name OF the pension
agent to official checks, aud that the
official bond given by tho principal OF
the Office shall be held TO cover and ap.
ply to the case OF the person appointed
to act in his place in such case, and a
new bond shall be required from all pen.
sion agents now in office.
The question MS 10 whether this act is
intended to apply to all agents, or only
to such as see fit to avail themselves OF
the provisions OF this act was referred to
the Assistant Attorney General OF the
interior Department, who held the
opinion that the provision referred to 10
mandatory and that all pension agents
now in office are by it required to give a
new bond. In reply to second request
for new bond from Mr.. W. II. Barclay,
the pension agent at Pittsburgh, the
Commissioner OF Pensions has received
the following telegram:
Replying to your telegram OF the 1B.h
call your attention to the fact that in
in September l informed you that de,
clined to execute new bond, and | now
renew that decision.
[Signed] "W. II. Barclay"
In speaking OF the matter to-day, Sec,
retary Noble said that the department
would have been glad to have retained
Mr.. Barclay, particularly as he was an
old soldier, but hie absolute refusal to
comply with the law left the department
no recourse but to appoint some ont
who would comply with the law. There
was no politics in the matter.

cred his seat to the Major, who chatted
with the Governor until he reached his

On arriving ut Wooster IN immense

was In gay holiday attire. At least 5 900
people from surrounding villages and

Governor Hill addressed an open air

Last year We imported farm products
OF the value OF sixty-iive millions Of dol.
lars. We paid this enormous sum to
foreign farmers when we should have
kept it ut home. Though tho richest
farming country in tho world, we paid
to other countries more than three mil.
lions OF dollars for horses, sheep and
cattle. more than seven millions FOR bar.
ley: more than two millions for eggs.
Under the law just passed the farmers
have not only secured protection and
been largely relieved from competition,
but owing to the establishment OF our
manufacturing industries under protec.
tion and home competition, they are
enabled 10 buy farming implements aud
tools cheaper than they can be bought
in any other country in the world. In
addition to all this, under. the law the
farmers will be indirectly bene fitted by
the better protection given to the manu-.
featuring industriea; because rs new
plants arc established and old ones in
creased and enlarged, mure men must
be employed aud led, which will increase
the consumption Of food products, and
the demand and the price for the same.
The Mckinley Bill re&rces taxation
abont sixty millions. Il places on the
free list' imports which last year we're
valued, duty paid, at one hundred and
seyenty.seven millions. The s!ills.Gro.
yer-Clevellnd.Dem Democratic Combination
bill transferred to the free list much less
than this amount. 1t is estimated that
hereafter, under the Mckinley Bill, 90
per cent Of all tho goods We import will
be free Of tax or dusl.
Under the internal revenue reduction
brought about BY the Mckinley Bill siS
hundred thousand persons will be re-
| lieved from paying taxes. The 'Mck Kin

TRAlNMEN STRIKE,
Lnko shorO and Michigan Central Men
Want Moro WngeA.


Want Moro Wages.
CHICAGO, Oct. ga general demand
for increased wages is being made by
the passenger trainmen OF the Michigan
Central, tho Lake Shore and nearly all
the trunk lines. "The demand is not n
local affair and, Of course, will no. have
to deal with it." said the iiviaion Super.
intendent oil the Lake Shore to q re.
porter. III a conference is had, it will
take place at Cleveland, Ohio" The
demand for increased wages is not con-
tined to ths Lake Shore, but has grown
out Of a resolution among the passenger
trainmen on number OF lires TO try to
secure an increase. Tho employees show
no dispoaition'to strike or engage in any
protractcd controversy over tho matter.
But the demand ia not yet in formal
shape and will probably no. be put in
this form. The Lake Shore officials
understand that the trainren want the
advance and they will probably ask the
employees TO appoint committee from
the company. The matter OF wages will
be settled in satisfactory way and with
mutual good feeling between employees
and employers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-O. Wilkert, mn oil,
man, from Trenton, ILL.,, was sand-barsed
and robbed laat night and then placed
on the Santa Fe tracks, near Twel!ll,
street, where switch engine ran over
him, severing his head from his body.
The crime adds another to the list oF
'he murder mysteries OF this city.
Wlikert, who was about G5 years old.
came into the city about 7 o'clock last
night. He arrived ut the Polk street
depot, where he was taken in tow by n
runner. The latter steered him to a
cheap hotel in ore Of the worst quarters
OF the city.
"llkert mad supper, and paid in sG-
vance Tor his bed and hreskiest, displa1
Ing several dollars in change. Then h.
went out ior walk, strollinr gouth on
Third avenue. At $50 o'clock tho

Fourteenth ond Taylor streets. The
engine was backing north across Twelfth

the rear step. noticed mans head on
The rail. He signalled ior the engineer
TO stop, but he was too late. The Wheels
had passed over the mans neck. sever-
ing the head.
When the mapgled corpse was exam
lned 1t was found to be that of Wiliert.
All tho money that was found in his
pocket was 4 few pennies. The police
sent the remains to the morgue and cr.
tered the case as another railroad acci.
dent" The switchmen say it WINS i'm
possible for Wilkert to have gotten into
The position he was unless placed there
While unconscious. 1t is extremely i'm
probable tha. a stranger would have
wandered to that spot. The railroad
people are sure that he was murdered
and robbed and the body then laid where
1t was struck by the engine.
