No Tariff Commission.
qller.

The latest suggestion of Demo-
cratic cowardice Is for the appoint
ment OF tariff commission TO inves-
tigate and report for the action Of
Congress. This savors about as much
of imbecility as Of cOwardice. The
tariff question has been under discus
sion for many years. There has been
one tariff commission, and the sub
ject has been before many ways and
means committees. 1t has been thor
Oughly ventilated by the press and
carefully considered by the people.
No commission can throw any addi-
tional light on the principles or the
DRY Of tariff legislation. Therefore,
we repeat the proposition for the APP
pointment Of commission to inves-
gate the subject is lmbecile rs well as
cowardly.
What is needed is practical test
and trial OF the Democratic doctrine
Of free trade or tariff for revenue
only. The people have had a twenty
five years trial of protection, and it
is universally conceded that the coun-
try has prospered and made great
progress under it. In a spirit Of un-
rest or discomfort, and with the aid
Of the Solid South and the ignorance
of Northern cities, they have decided
in favor OF a change and have put the
Democratic party in power under a
promise and pledge that it would re-
peal the Mckinley bill and put in
practical operation the doctrine on
which they carried the election. Now
let them keep faith with the people.
Let them fulfill their promises and
pledges or stand before the country
branded as campaign liars and trick
sters. No tariff commission. -Indi-

Hetty Green's Millions.

Mrs. Hetty Green, whom an at
tempt has been made to swindle at
Chicago, is the wcalthieSt women in
the United States, her fortune be-
ing placed at So, 900, 900. She is
about % years OF age, and is the
daughter OF a New Bedford whaler,
who left her $9,000,00 Not long
after this an aunt died and be-
queathed her $4,000, 900, and with
this combined sum she is said TO have
made so, 600. Mrs. Green has
proved herself match for the
shrewdeSt men in Wall street, as
many Of them know to their sorrow.
BY her determination in withdraw
ing deposit OF $475, 600, which she
had with Cisco Brothers, she was
said to have caused that firms fail
ure. Although being assured that
the removal OF so large sum would
cause the finn embarrassment, she
still insisted on it. She is very eco
nomical, her one desire being to make
her son the richest man in the Uni
ted States. She owns as little real
estate as possible in order TO escape
taxation, and always lives in hotels.

went cut Of Office there was a surplus
OF 800, 900, 600 because. he did not

Half OF this surplus was deposited in

President Harrison did not find it
necessary TO run away from his party

ably no President-elect ever had a
greater number Of visitors. Indeed,
from the day OF his nomination to
the 4th of March he practically kept

by those who did not know him as a

Copperhead Methods.


The so!dier-hating Democracy Is
In the saddle and the assault on the
Union veterans has begun. The
Copperheads OF the North whose
representatives nominated a Demo
cratic candidate for President on q
platform declaring the war for the
Union failure, have united with
the Confederate BOurbons OF the
South i'm demanding that the pay
ment Of pensions shall be cut down.
Before the election Democratic
newspapers were filled with hypocriti-
cal assurances OF affection for Union
veterans and respect for their claims
on the country's gratitude. The
necessity for disSimulation is now
over. A Democratic Pesident whose
hostility toward the men who bore
arms in the defense Of the nation
found expression in long series of
sneering and unmanly pension vetoes
has been elected. The House is
Democratic. The Senate, for many
years the bulwark OF Americanism,
has been stormed by the men whose
A.political principles are found in the
N.onfederate constit ution. The COM
nand has gone forth that the old
soldiers must be sacrificed.
The New York Democratic organ
whose rampant treason during the
tUeiiiQn forced the government at
Washington to order its temporary
suppression, denounces the pension
system as "a carnival of wrong and
robbery, and shrieks fantically that
il must be changed. Democra tic
journals in New England, in the Md
die States and the West echo the cry.
The Bourbon organs of the South are
eyultant in their triumph over the
men they have never ceased 20 hate,
and clamorous in their demand for
the withdrawal Of the nations bounty
for them.
BE it so. The Republican party
will not shirk the issue. The Repub-
lican party has no apology to make
for saving the nation, no regrets for
its generous treatment Of the heroes
who faced death under the Stars and
Stripes. 1t will stand Dy its princi-
pes now as it stood by its guns dur
ing the years Of storm and stress
when Democracy fought the Union
armies in the field and treacherously
assailed the Union cause from the
rear Attempts to rob the gray
haired veterans Of the hardwon pit
tancc that this mighty and prosper
Gus natiOn-the richest on earth
has decreed shall be theirs, will meet
with the determined resistance Of
the Republicans in the Fifty-third
Congress. If projected Democratic
schemes are carried out in spite Of
Republican opposition, the Republi-
can party will appeal to the people at
the next general election to hurl
f:om power the faction that refuses
bread to the men but for whose pa
~trOtic devotion the United States
would not to-day be in existence. -

A DOCTORED DOCUMENT.
Serious Insinuation Made Against a
Sacramento Attorney.
A Certified Copy Which Differed From
the Original-Lawyer Brusie
Dfsclaims Responsibility.

A statement appeared in the San Fran
cisco Examiner yesterday, in connection
with the case of a young man named
Hyer, who was recently ordered by the
Circuit Court sent back to New Jersey to
be tried for embezzlement, which reflects
upon Lawyer Brusie of this city.
The statement is made that during the
habeas corpus proceedings Carroll Cook,
Hyer's lawyer, read the requisition
papers, held that they were valueless and
that his client could not be taken out of
the State, because they contained so
many flaws. The representative of the
firm which had been robbed also pre-
senteu copy of the requisition papers.
and comparison Of the two showed that
! they greatly differed in wording, and
that the one held by Cook was full of
flaws.
Carroll Cook said that he had sent to J.
I. Brusie, lawyer of Sacramento. for
certified copies of all papers in connec-
non with the case, ana that they came
back IN the handwriting of Brusie him
sell. lie said, further, that he knows
nothing absolutely beyond this, but adj
mlts that the otlense is grave one, and

! profession diSbarment would follow.
Mr.. Brusie was seen yesterday in re-
| gard TO the matter and Indignantly denied
| having knowingly sent defective or doc
/ tored copies of the papers to Cook. He
SAID that Jack Sullivan had asked him,
/ on behalf Of Carroll Cook, to procure and

! Office; that he made copy thereof, and
compared it with the original assisted by
an attache OF the office, had it certified

! The latter wrote back that the papers
/ were incorrect, and requested another

matter over to Mr.. Marling, the Gov

! make copy, forward it to Cook and col
iect the necessary fee.

ment before the Governor in opposition
