A Good Position Declined-Two Aged
Republicans Will Be Retained.
Washington, March 22.- The COM
missionership of pensions was offered
to ex-Congressman Wheeler, of Michi-
gan, and declined. Wheeler told Cleve-
land that he did not feel himself cap
able physically of assuming the labor
ious duties involved in the position.
Some comment was caused by the
failure to confirm Edward B. Whitney,
of New York, nominated to be assistant
attorney general. The nomination
was not, it is said, reported from the
judiciary committee. Although the
committee met last Monday. the objec-
ton would carry it over until the next
meeting of the committee.
At caucus of democrats which NOM
mated the ticket for the senate offices,
it was agreed that certain republicans
should not be disturbed. Among them
are the venerable assistant door
keeper, Isaac Bassett, and acting as
sistant door-keeper, Charles B. Reade.

wealthy old farmer who resides just
over the river In Polk county, was
smoothly buncoed out of $500 today.
Skinner owns $40 acres of land oppo-
site Salem. and is worth probably $780,

called upon him and looked over his
place with a view to purchasing 1t.
They offered him $4,000 Sor the farm,
which was accepted, and the contract
was to have been closed this morning.
They told Skinner that they were rep
resenting a lottery company, and that
they desired to introduce their business
here. They said also that 1t would cost
him nothing. as they merely wanted to
introduce their business, Skinner
snapped at the chance. The ticket he
held drew $4,000, The fellows had only
$4,000 with them. They said, however
that they would pay the full amount,
but that they must first have the as.
surance that Skinner was a responsible
man, They said that IL he would get
$2,5OO In paper money they would Civ,
him their $780, and he could keep II
all until 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning
when they would pay him the $1,000 ir
full. Forthwith Farmer Skinner came

days at the bank, He got 1t in bun

Washington, March 22.-Two MEM
bers Of the Missouri delegation in con-
gress called at the postofIice depart
ment today and held a conference with
Postmaster General Bissell. The del
egation desired some expression from
Postmaster General Bissell as to what
weight would be given to recommend
ations of members of congress in the
appointment of postmasters, it having
been repeatedly stated in newspapers,
they said, that congressional influence
was to go for nothing. Bissell listened
attentively to all that was said, but did
not think he could justly be held re-
sponsible for what had been published
in the newspapers, and he called at
tention to the fact that thus far not a
single postmaster had been appointed,
who had not the endorsement of
member of congress. He thought, how
ever, the question of candidates should
in measure, at least, be decided by
the people of the locality in which the
postofIice was located. What he most
desired was, that he should have the
benefit of advices of the people as we'll
as that of their representative in con-
gress. No one would in any sense be
ignored, and it was folly to suppose
that the assistance, advice, and recon-
mendations of men of such high char
acter as the representatives of the peo-
pie in congress were not earnestly de-
sired. Bissell said he understood a
statement had been published that no
woman was to be appointed to post
and newspaper men were
also to be Disseminated against. Mel
ther of these stories were true, and he
their publication. He bade
the delegation good day and hoped
they would come and see him whenever
they had anything to say in regard to
in his department.

A New York Club After Cleveland
With a Stick.
New York, March ga special com
mittee of the Reform Club of this city
has completed draft of bill which
when perfected, will be urged upor
congress. as a substitute for the pres,
ent tariff laws and fulfllment of the
pledges under which the democracy OBJ.
tanned control of the national govern.
ment. The general principles upor
which the proposed tariff are formed
are in the main as follows:
Crude material in general, is made
free Of duty. In taking other articles,
the general object has been to fix such
rates as would produce the largest
amount of revenue, in a series of years,
consistent with large importations. The
purpose oRobtaining the largest reve-
nue., however is limited by considera-
tion of the welfare and necessity Of
the people at large, and especially the
poorer classes. All duties made strict
ly ad valorem except some of those
which are levied as compensatory for
internal revenue taxes, upon similar
articles produced at home. In order to
Insure the administration of an ad
valorem tariff 1t is essential that the
rates of duty upon the great mass of
articles should be kept at very mod
crate figures. Upon other articles ex-
perience has shown that duties cannot
be raised above 25 per cent without Of
fering a dangerous incentive to fraud.
A few articles of luxury may be ex-
cepted from the operation of these
general rules. All foreign articles
which If made here would be subject to
internal revenue taxes. must, of course,
be subject to at least an equal tax. AS
to liquors and tobacco, the duties upon
them should be made with a view of
obtaining the greatest possible amount
of revenue without any concern as to
whether we give or withhold protection
to domestic producers. Yielding In part
to the popular opinion that silk is
luxury, we placed silk manufactures
generally at 20 per cent. Silk yarns,
thread, and sewing silk are placed at
20 per cent, and spun and thrown silk
at Is per cent, leaving raw silk free.
All forms of crude metal, not merely
in ores, but in pig iron, ingots, and
bars, with the exception of iron and
steel, are made free Of duty. The duty
upon woolens and worsted manufac-
lures of every description, are placed
at rs per cent. Leather gloves and all
other gloves except silk, are placed in |
the 25 per cent schedule. TEMPLATES |
should certainly not be taxed more |
than 20 per cent, and perhaps not more
than Is per cent. Manufactures Of |
wood in the most finished forms, are
placed in the 20 per cent schedule, as
are also buttons, except those Of metal
DR. glass. Most provisions are made
free Of duty, but some. which partalSe
N a mild degree of the nature of lux
lries, are put in the 20 per cent sched-
lie, while breadstuffs are mostly made

The public printing here is done at
a price which is much lower than it
ought to be- There is no steal in it
and never has been since the Infamous
days of the monarchy. An effort to
make the Councils feel otherwise, eide
the Bulletin, is simply device to get
enough printing for the Royalist jour
nails to raise the ire of the advertiser
and the STAR and to make dissension
in the Provisional camp The Bulletin
privately believes that the two journals
named would not be likely to love an
administrative body which had helped
sustain its own political enemies and
their competitors hence the outcry
for economical printing and the like.
No doubt for. he sake Of discord the
Bulletin would publish the notices at a
loss Of seventy.fve per cent, asking its
Royalist friends to make up the deficit.
But as the Councils are not composed
of fools the little stratagem will fail.
We venture to predict that no Govern
ment money will ever be paid here to
