UNCLE JERRY,s TARIFF POLICY.

We regret to see that the Hon. jeremiah
Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, director
OF Republican weather, and the possessor
of other useful and honorable positions,
has been indulging in indiscreet talk about
the Massachusetts, election and what is to
be done as result. The views of the
Secretary may be summarized as follows:
The duty on hides was removed in order
to please the Massachusetts leather manu-
facturers: they have omitted, neglected or
failed to carry their State for the Republi-
nounces, the duty on hides should be re-
imposed This outlines a very simple
scheme of politics; but it is open to objec-
ton from three aspects, that of principle,
that of policy and that of practicability.
On the first score, the view this member
of the Cabinet takes with regard to the
principle on which tariff duties should be
distributed might be supposed to come
from rank free-trader, but from an al
legged supporter of the protection policy it
is astounding 1t is a declaration that
duties are taken off or put on in eX-
change for votes. So much tariff legisla-
ton in the interest of certain industries
is to be given for so many votes, ac-
cording TO Uncle Jerry; and if the
goods are not delivered the consider
alton is to be take, back by reversal of
the legislation. Some millions of people
have been working and voting for the pro-
lection policy under the impression that
its purpose is to build up and maintain
domestic industries, and they will not
thank the agricultural statesman for per-
verting their principles into a theory of
making it system of rewards and punish
ments for carrying State for one party
or another.
In the light of policy the statecraft of
the Farmers Friend is even more ques-
tiorable. On his own theory the tariff
legislation on hides justified Massachu-
sets in going Republican,; and per contra
the reversal of the legislation would
Justify her in going Democratic. On what
principle of political action does Uncle
Jerry propose to aid the Harrison boom or
strengthen his own reverSionary prospects,
by the action which, on his own premises,
would make Massachusetts permanently
Democratic?
Finally, the practicability of the change
in the tariff policy which Uncle Jerry pro-
poses is sadly marred by the political
complexion of Congress. The Democratic
House might welcome with effusion pro-
posal from the Cabinet that it should in
augurate new scheme of tariff tinker
ing; but it can be taken as a foregone con-
clusion that it will not adopt his great idea
of Furnishing Massachusetts, for going
Democratic
Uncle Jerry should be advised by his
executive chief to study the virtues of
silence.

WILLS TOO EASILY BROKEN.
Difficulty Surrounds Those Who Desire to
Dispose OF Their Property.

Difficulty Surrounds Those Who Desire to
Dispose OF Their Property.
Washington Post.l
The discussion by the press of the country
of the decision of the New York Court of
Appeals in the Tilden will case has drawn
general attention to the difficulty of making
certain testamentary dispositions of prop
erty without incurring the danger of having
such dispositions declared invalid by the
courts on some technfcality of law or some
arbitrary rule of construction.
Whenever q testator has q purpose in view
which, in a general way, is clear enough to
his own mind, but of which he cannot fore
see the notifications that may be necessary
in the future, the ordinary way is by will to
create trust for the carrying out of the
general purpose and to confer upon the
trustees discretionary power to deal with
future contingencies as they may arise Yet
there are few wills of this character that do
not run a great risk of being broken for un-
certainty or other like reason. Their pur-
pose Is easily understood by the ordinary
mind and their fduciary provisions could
be intelligently and faithfully carried out by
men Of ordinary busin ess sense; yet they
may be declared invalid on q mere point OF
growing out of the application
of rules of law, according to the view and
temper of the court.

Superiority OF American Armor.

New York Press.i
The result of the comparative trials of
American armor at Indian Head week ago,
proved conclusively the superiority of
American nickel steel armor over all-steel
plates. The Navy Department. has, in con-
sequence, decided that nickel steel of do
mestic manufacture shall be used for the
defensive belts of all our armor clad war
ships. The Miantonomoh is protected by
field, and the formidable Pacific coast
defender, Monterey, which was launched
some time ago, has armor shields for her bat
teries already made of the all-steel plates.
She will have q nickel steel protective belt
at the water line, however. The three mag
nif1cent 1O, 600 ton battle ships now building,
the arrnor clads Maine and Texas, and the
fleet and powerful armored cruiser New
York, that will probably be launched on
Tuesday, will all have American nickel steel
armor that will be superior in resistance to
penetration to anything now on the hulls of
foreign warships.

THERE is certainly a greater romance
than is often conceived in fiction, in the re-
newal of the report that Johann orth, other
wise the Archduke Johann, of the Imperial
House of Hapsburg, who renounced his rank
and fortune and was supposed to be lost with
his bride. is really alive in Chile. The story
gives the detail that he fought through the
Chilean conflict, rose to the rank of Colonel
in the Congressional army, and having
shared in the triumph of constitutional
government, is starting to visit his wife's
family, in Berlin. Ii the story is true, it
renews the evidences that truth is stranger
than fiction. But the fact that it appears so
far only in papers more ambitious to be
sensational than accurate, creates the doubt
that it is u romance in more senses than one

Lacey Should Be Investigated.

New 7 Ork T1mes.I
OF the various investigations that the next
House of Representatives is bound to under
take none will prove richer in results, and
none, if properly conducted, is more. de-
manded by the public interests than that re
lating to the office of the Comptroller of the
Currency. We are wiliing-nay, we are
anxious-to concede to Mr.. Lacey all the
probity of intention and all the pro-
iessional ability claimed for him by his
friends. We should be sorry to believe that
even Mr.. Harrison had been guilty Of put
ting over the national bank system man
who would deliberately protect wrongdo-
ing. But it is not easy to study the record
of the keystone Bank in Philadelphia and
the Maverick Bank in Boston without reach
ing the conclusion that the Comptroller has
been excessively lax in the use of his powers
and the performance of his duties.

SPECULATIVE BANKERS.
They Are Becoming Expensive Luxuries for
the Public Generally.

Iney Are becoming Expensive Luxur1os IOr
the Public Generally.
New York World.j
One obvious teaching of the Maverick
Bank trouble is that speculative bank Off
GERS are expensive luxur1es. 1t ought to be,
as it generally is, rule of banking that the
officers of the institution should devote
their attention to it, and should not be en-
gagged in other business. In other words,
the business OF their bank must be the vo-
cation of its president, rs it is OF its cashier,
tellers and other clerks. If the president
carries on a private business there will al
most inevitably come time when he will
need the banks assistance, and he will be
unable to act impartially between his own
interests and the interests of the institu-
tiOn. There is danger of his making to
himself a loan, the like of which he would
not make to any other of the banks GUS
toners.
If one who is called legitimate merchant
ought not to be bank President while at
the same time he conducts private busi-
ness, how much less should mere specula-
tor be in command OF great sums of money
belonging to other people! The merchant
trades in goods that he owns and commands
for days, sometimes for weeks, whether or
not extraordinary demands are likely to be
made upon him. and what those demands
will amount to. He has time to prepare for
them. The sudden emergencies when he is
tempted to supply his wants from the Golfers
of the bank come comparatively seldom,
but the come often enough to make it desir-
able that bank President shall be banker
and nothing else.

Then l went on to Paterson, which is my

people got hold of it, and the oppo-
sition daily paper there went for the
Commissioners. One of the board is the
owner Of the other paper there. and that
made it the more interesting. My friends

GREAT approval is due to the recon-

in East Feliciana Parish of Louisiana that
the pupils shall be strictly forbidden to
carry their pistols to school, and that teach
ers who countenance that belligerent GUS

pIaiscworthy educational reform. The
teaching of the young idea how to shoot re-
quires very imperative instruction that
shooting should always be done out of
school.

IT took Attorney General Hensel five
hours to clear away the cloud of sophistry
and quibbles that has been raised about the
Treasury case by the highly-feed attorneys
fer the defense during the past two
weeks. II reason and justice were to
determine the action of the Senate the
Attorney Generals speech would settle it.
But if those qualities were to prevail the
case would have been settled long ago by an
address of the senate. Whatever the action
of the Senate the moral advantages of the
struggle lie with tine Attorney General.
