Richard Watson Glider, the editor of
the Century magazine, Is not stylish in dress.
He may be seen any day walking to and
from his pretty editorial sanctum on Union
square. He is a tall, slender man, with
clear features, an aggressive nose and large
poetical eyes. In manner he puts one at
ease directly, having happy way of SEEM
ing to be of exactly ones grade in society.
With the working people with whom he
comes in contact in his business relations
with the Century he is popular, for he has
manner which makes them think that,
once upon time, he was at work himself
with rolled up sleeves, and printers ink
upon his face. With the Lterati he is
thoroughly at ease, and spends his happiest
hours surrounded by bright spirits who
congregate about him at home and in the
Fellowcraft Club, of which he is the presi-
dent. In attire he is almost rusty, though
scrupulously clean and we'll brushed. 1t
was limited that Easter might find him in a
new suit of clothes, but expectations vera
disappointed, and the same carefully tended
suit with a literary air aboutit continues to
adorn the form of the editor of one Of the
greatest magazines in the world, and one of
the most scholarly and versatile men of our
time.
An agitation has arisen over the propriety
of smoking in the cemetery. And since the
question has been raised, many have decided
that it is wrong and a dissertation to the
dead to permit anything of this kind. One
cemetery has closed its gates for all those
leaving column of smoke in their wakes,
and watchmen have been appointed to
patrol the walks AMI drives to see that the
law prohibiting fire and the noxious weed
are enforced. What next! To what extent
will some peoples ethics and culture and
Miss Nancyism lead them?

AN ATTACK ON ST ANLEY.

Explorers Methods.

Col. George w. Williams Scores the
Explorers Methods.
New YORK, April 1S.-Still another at
tack is made on Henry M. Stanley. 1t
comes from Col George W. Williams, the
author of 1.-THE Colorado Troops in the Re-
bellion," who has been for some time in the
employ of the Congo Free State. Last year
he wrote from his station what he has
since published in pamphlet form
under the title of IAN open letter to his
serene majesty, Leopold H., King of the
Belgians and sovereign of the independent
state of Congo, by Col. the Hon. George
w. Williams Of the United States of Amer
ica." The letter is an attack on the gov
eminent Of Congo.
HIS REFERENCE TO STANLEY. -.
Concerning Stanley Col. Williams says:
"The agents of your majesty's government
have misrepresented the Congo railway. H.
NJ, Stanley, q man who was your chief
agent in setting up your authority in this
country, has grossly misrepresented the
character of the country. Instead Of
it being fertile and productive.
it is sterile and unproductive. The
natives can scarcely subsist upon the vege-
table life produced in some parts Of the
country, nor will this condition of affairs
change until the natives shall have been
taught by European dignity the utility and
blessings Of labor.
AN IMPAssABLE GULF.
"There is no improvement among the
natives, because there Is an impossible gull
between them and your majesty's govern
ment, a gulf which cannot DO abridged.
Henry Nj. Stanley's name produces a shud-
| der among the simple folk when men
toned they remember his broken prom.
Uses, his copious profanity. hot temper, his
| heavy blows, the severe and rigorous meas
ures by which they were mulcted Of theiI
lands. His last appearance in the Congo
| produced profound sensation among them
| when he led 500 Zanzibar soldiers with 300
camp followers on his way tc
relieve Emip Pasha. They thought
it meant complete subjugation and
they fled in confusion. But the only thing
they found in the wake of his march was
misery. No white man commanded his
rear column, and his troops were allowed *
straggle, sicken, and die, and their bones
were scattered over more than 200 miles o.

He VIII Fight Harrison at Every
Point in Indiana


WASHINGTON, April 13.-The President
leaves behind him an angry and dangerous
enemy IL sx-TrsasE7eF Huston, whose Oft
presented resignation he finally accepted to-
day. To cap the climax of what Treasurer
Huston considers his ill-treatment by the
President, the latter, after asking Mr.. hus-
ton this morning to give out the CORE
spoudence about the resignation, and oeing
told by Mr.. Huston that be did not wish 1t
made public deliberately gave it 70 the
press himself When Mr.. Huston heard OF
this he was 90 angry that he remarked that
he Thought the President had oversteppod
the bounds of official propriety."
WRECKED A PROMISE.
The President, by this blunder, wrecked
the promise which he had induced Mr..
Huston, by dinner and other social atten-
tons to make Mr.. Huston now proposes
to 90 to Indiana and set up the standard OF
revolt from Harrison, to which II is SAID
the disaffected elements will flock by
thousands. They are all Gisorganized now,
but, under the skillful direction OF Mr..
Huston, admittedly one Of the best organ
izers in Indiana, they will be all ready next
year to cut the Presidents boom in two.
Mr.. Huston thought as chairman OF the
state committee that be carried Indiana for

He expected a cabinet place for his
services. He took the treasurership with a
wry face, but expected his loss to be made
up to him in social attention at the white
house, but his wife and he we're both sighted
a year ago. He tried to resign. The Presi-
dent would not let him 20 and has kept him
hanging ever since, until to-day. Mean
while he has become more and more irri-
tated, his wife constantly urging him to go
and the newspapers nagging at him, so that
when the President broke to-day the
patched-up truce by giving out his CORE
spondence he vented his grievance.

DIRECT TAX REPAYMENT.
OFFSETS MAY BE CLAIMED By
The GOVERNMENT.

States That Expected to Realize the
Full ofTheir Contribution Likelyt to be
Observation-Disclosures Virginia Deeper
in the Hole Than Any of the Other
States.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-It appears that
many Of the states that expected to realize
the entire amount Of their contributions to
the direct tax are to be disappointed
Scrutiny of the refunding act by the first
controller has satisfied him that the United
States government may claim offsets
against all Of the states wherein the tax
was not collected from individuals directly
by the government. BE has been search
ing the records for such offsets, and here
are some Of those he has already
discovered on accounts of quotas OF arms,
ammunition and accoutrements overissued
under the act of 1908 up to 1887: Cali
fornia IS, ITO. Georgia 1920. Illinois ST.
sol, Massachusetts, "a, 7s6. Michigan S. .6S3,
Minnesota s., 1881, New Hampshire 1884,
Oregon 81, 472, Rhode Island 81, 1926, Yer.
mont s543. $50, Virginia 50. 400, Wisconsin
s., POI, New Mexico $5,597, Washington
So, 9S5, the District of Columbia $20,534.
WHAT THEY REPRESENT.
These amounts represent the extent to
which the quotas were overdrawn. Had the
old law continued in force, most of these
states might have made the account square
by diminishing the amounts of their requi-
sitionS. But, after the new militia law OF
1887 had been passed, this course could not
be pursued, and the state accounts for refund
OF the direct tax are now, or will be
when presented, held up, pending an
ss,-v kia q
is explained by the fact that during the
war she made heavy acquisitions for arms
to repel the threatened st. Adams raid, and
it is said that the state afterward sold
St50,000 worth of these arms to France.
WEST vIRGINIA's PLIGHT.
West Virginia is perhaps in a worse
plight than any other state. Virginia
owed the government 81 500, 900 on account
of state bonds, and when the new state was
cut off 1t agreed to assume the RESPONSE
bility for her share of the Indebtedness.
But the government was never repaid.
Virginia's share of the direct tax money
cannot be withheld, for the money was
collected from individuals. But West
Virginia paid as state. by offsetting her
share Of the direct tax by claim OF S459,-
900 for munitions of war furnished the gen.
eral government, which was allowed. Now
the direct tax money is fTithheld from her
on account Of the original debt, pending
the decision of the case by the Attorney
General. Gov. Fleming and exGov. Will
son to-day arranged,with he department of
justice to be heard in an argument upon the
case about three weeks hence, and it is pre-
sumed that the state of Virginia may also
be represented, as a weighty principle and
one which concerns her is involved. The
application of Arkansas for 1854, FOL on ac~
count of the direct tax refund was received
at the treasury to-day.

A VICTORY FOR A RAILROAD.
Iowa's Commissioners Unable to En-

force Decree.
DIES MONIES, Ia, April 49, Judge
Holmes has rendered decision in the Leslie
station case. involving the power of the
railway commission to enforce its orders
through the medium of the courts. The
case was dismissed, being decided victory
for the railway company and surprise to
the commission. On the line of TIE Des
Moines aud Kansas City road are the two
stations, Osceola aud Vanwert, fourteen
miles apart. At the former point the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy crosses
| and at the latter the Keokuk and
| Southwestern. About midway between
these points was Leslie, also side-tracked
place, called Phillipsburg, north of Leslie
| The railroad company claimed that there
was more business at Phillipsburg than at
| Leslie, and also that it found that business
was leaving that station to go to Vanwert
Therefore the company concluded to
close the station at Leslie and
| open a new one further south. The citizens
| appealed to the commissioners, who decided
that the station must be reopened. The
company refused on the ground, first, that
| the railway commissioners had no power to
make such an order; second, that the court
has no Jurisdiction to enforce the order, and
third, that the company was not guilty Of
failure to perform its public duty. On the
two law points the court sustained the COM
missioners. but on the last question Of fact
| il did not act.
