A BLOW TO TARIFF REFORM.
Thomas G. Shearman Believes that Free
Sugar Leads to Direct Taxation.

Sugar Leads to Direct Taxation.
The fatal defect in the present Demo-
cratic programme of moderate tariff re-
form, is that no tariff can be devised
which will suffice for the needs OF the
government without including a tax up
on sugar. But the sugr tax has gone
forever. After the people have enjoyed
free sugar for two years. any party which
should attempt to restore the enormous
the first election. No party viii attempt
it.
The proteetionists have gained upon
this one point signal and permanent vic
tory The long struggle OF the Demo-
cratic Party 70 maintain system OF in
direct taxation. sufficient 10 support the
government without levying tribute upon
the people for the benefit of few monop-
olists. mas been finally defeated. The is
sue OF tariff for revenue only. as against
a tariff for protection, is practically dead.
Yet have the protectionists any reason to
rejoice in their victorys While they
have made it impossible for this country
ever 10 have tariff for revenus only,
adequate TO the support of the national
government. they have done so at the
cost Of raising an issue tar more danger
Gus 70 them than any which ever before
entered into practical politics. The aboli-
ton Of the sugar tax IS deadly blow 10
the whole tarlf system.
The national expenditures have been
permanently increased by extravagant
tensions. which are more likely TO be in-
creased than diminished. Within a very
snort time new taxes must be imposed.
Nothing more can be got out of the tariff
either for revenue or for projections; any
increase of protective duties would sim
ply reduce the public revenue. Nothing
more can be got out OF whisky, for any
increase in the TAX would only lessen its
returns
The deficiency which has now come and
which will rapidly increase cannot be
supplied BY any tariffs or excuses what
ever. II must be fillea uD by direct taxa

troduced on a large scale and IN a popular

ANNIE OAKLEY NOT DEAD.
Excellent Reasons for Believing the
Cable Report False.
From the Nel0arE Sunday call.


From the Nerdrk Sunday Call.
A despatch by cable dated December
30 announced the death in Buenos Ayres,
South America, of Annie Oakley, the
celebrated woman rifle snot. All the
New York papers gave long obituaries
of the bright little woman; but there is
excellent reason for believing that she is
alive aud well On the morning the
despatch was published, the Call received
a newspaper from Mr.. Frank b. Butler,
the husband of Annie Oakley, with para
graphs marked concerning her. The
newspaper was published at Ashford,
Kent England; on December 20, and gave
an account of shooting match Dy Miss
Oakley at Ashford. The newspaper
said:-
"This lady, the Little Sure Shot of
Buffalo BilPs troupe, which is now at
weeks to- Mr.. and Mrs. Graham, of the
Royal Oak, they being old American
friends. Mr.. Graham having shot four or
five matches with her during his sojourn
in the States. GentleHen will have the
opportunity of seeing her performances
at the next few meetings. and of taking
part against her at her own game at the
traps The feats she performed on the
ground seemed scarcely credible"
M. Graham is well remembered IN
Newark as well-known English shot. 1t
is impossible that Miss Oakley should
have reached Buenos Ayres at the timo
given as the date of her DEATH and il is
altogether probable that Miss Oakley is
still enjoying English hospitality in health
and comfort.

The Rev. DIR. Scudder preached an in
structive sermon in the Tabernacle yes
terday morning upon the Secret of Sue
cess in Church Work" His remarks
were based upon Zachariah vi. 6, Not by
might or by power, but by thy spirit saeth

causes which each member of the con
gregation had for thanksgiving at the
beginning of the year, he proceeded 10

not by members nor is it by planning
only that this success has been assured
but by the spirit of Christ in all our
WORK.
SPIRIT OF POWER
Goods spirit is spirit of power. We
love TO look upon massive Niagara pour
ing its millions of tons of water over its
brink daily. We love to look at Eng
land in tine sphere of government, with
its colonies in every part of the globe.
We love TO look at the power of individu-
al character, when man stands up like
a rock amid the swelling tide; and we
love to see strong, progressive churches
affecting the communities in which they
are situated.
upon this, the first Sabbath of the
new year, the question we are called upon
to answer Is this, Are we to continue to
be the powerful church we are. aud grow
in infiuenceP III so. we must utilize the
spiritual forces at our command. This is
an age of force, and the church must keep
up with the times. Man catches the wind
aud makes it drive his vessels all over the
sea. Man harnesses the rivers TO his
miIls and manufaeIories; man digs the
coal and sends his railroad trains gallop-
ing over the prairies; with dynamite and
giant powder he bursts the rocks; with
el ectricity he develops a light almost
equal to that of the sun and establishes
his telephonic ana telegraphic systems,
and it is through the vital force within
him that he makes use of all these varied
forces of nature.

"Why, 1 believe that it is generally

whether there is any truth in the report

An EGREG|0US FAILURE.
Senator Pettigrew, Of South Da-
ko..a, Rakes Secretary Noble
Fore and Aft.
Utterly Incompetent by Temper
and Disposition for His
High Office.
PettiSrew and Estec Mentioned for the
P~lace-Carter not Discussed In
That Connection.

New York, June 3.-Pfivate dispatches
received from Washington contain in
formation that Secretary Noble was about
to resign. In order to confirm this report a
reporter called on Senator Pettigrew, of
South DakotS, who is supposed to have re.
ceived some assurance that the secretary
ship of the interior will be rendered him.
The senator spoke freely, with delibera-
ton, and understood that the interview
was for publication. He was asked it he
had heard of the rumored resignation Of
Secretary Noble, and replied: 81 received
information last evening from Washington,
from what I consider a reliable source, that
Secretary Noble would shortly yaeate his
seat in the cabinet, and l think that it is
only proper that he should. He is utterly
incompetent by intellect, by temper and
by disposition for the high position he now
fills. His appointment was a great mis-
take.
"Do you know if this has been forced
on Mr.. Noble, or whether it is to be taken
as his own volition?"
"Well, to tell the truth, l don't think he
has any volition. If he would go out west
to earn a living by practicing law he would
surely Starv6 TO Q6aGQs t1e mas uOt tu6
Judgment and decision requisite to success
in his Office"
"Do you know of your personal
knowledge whether any pressure has been
brought to bear on Secretary Noble?"
II do not"
Have the Indian troubles or the pension
bureau scandals had any thing to do with
his resignation"
IT can't say. His entire administration
of his Office has been u tame affair. He is
qnite out of place in the cabinet?'
"Have you any idea. senator, who will be
named to succeed Secretary Noble?"
II have not. l know that he is to- vacate
and that is all. / can't tell you whether his
successor will be from the west or the south
or from any other point"
From what locality do you think the
next secretary of the interior should Gomez
II can't say just at present. That is not
of the greatest Importance. The only thing
certain is that the present secretary will re-
sign. Mr.. Noble is an honest man and a
well-meaning man, but he is not of this
generation. He is not competent to admin
lister the affairs of the department."
