NEW TARIFF BILL.
A Number of Important Changes
Said to Have Been Made
in the Measure.

Yesterdays dispatches from Wash
ington contain various illusions to a
revised tariff bill which majority of
the ways and means committee have
about completed, and which will be
reprinted early in the coming week.
There have been a number of changes
relating mainly to the wording of the
bill, typographical errors, and phrase
ology, but it is well known that other
changes have been made. The tin
plate tariff has been changed from SO
per cent ad valorem to 1-5 cents per
pound specific duty. The ad valorem
rate was intended to make a duty of
about one cent per pound. A MEM
Der of the committee explained to an
Associated Press reporter why this
change was made, saying that the va
rious consumers of tin plate requested
it. Under an ad valorem duty the
importers would not be able to buy as
cheaply, because all orders for tin
nlate were at least three months in
advance, and if the price should be &c
a pound when ordered and 4c when
shipped, it would be found that the
ad valorem duty would work injus-
tice to the importer, while under
specific duty the importer would
know exactly what he had to pay
when the order was given. This same
member said there had been other
changes of the same character where
the interests of the consumer would
be liable to injury by the fluctuations
of the price under the ad yalorem
rate. Changes in rates have been
made; how many or how great is hard
to ascertain,

WYou Pays Your Money.N

AS an evidence of the far reaching
effect of single violation Of the law,
as well as the costly nature as even the
simplest form of legal contact, may be
cited the case of Wilson VS. Sawyer
Just disposed Of In the county court
of Ellis county Texas, The main
points in the case are given as follows
On the night of Nov, 16, 1892, Mack
Reno and Pat Ellerd entered the field
of w. w. Wilson, a farmer residing
near Hubbard City, and hauled off
1850 pounds of seed cotton, which
after being ginned and baled, was
taken to Hubbard City and sold to
Sam Sanger for $42 The cotton was
missed, traced, found, sued for by
Wilson, who was unsuccessful in the
lower court and appealed to the coun-
ty court. In the meantime a grand
Jury investigation was had and Reno
and Ellord were indicted, charged
with the theft of cotton. The Grim
inal cases were reached for trial Nov.

OUT OF ITS PROVINCE.


The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has just issued a decision, pre-
pared by Commissioner McDil, on
the complaint by the populists of Cal
ifornla that the Southern and Union
Pacific railroads made an unjust dis
elimination i'll refusing them the re-
duced rates to their national conven-
ton which were granted to the Cali
fornia delegates to the Republican
and Democratic National conventions.
The substance of the decision is that
as section % of the Interstate com
nerce law expressly extempts excur-
sion tickets from the operation of
that law, the Commission can enter
tain no complaint Of this nature. In
other words discrimination between
rival applicants for excursion rates,no
matter how gross, must go unpunished.
The reduced rate made for the Repub-
licans and Democrats in June was open
to the public at large as well as to the
delegates. Moreover, there was q
cash guaranty of 150 passengers,
whereas the populists would guarantee
only 36 passengers. This being the
state of facts the argument of the
railroads that the smaller number did
not justify a reduction, while the lar
ger number did, would appear to be q
strong business reason for the dis
elimination. But, as we have just
said, the report of the commission
lays no emphasis on this point. There
is, however, some discussion Of the
claim that in such public matter the
political parties ought to be treated
alike, and there is paragraph at the
end Of the report which says with a
proper observance of the spirit of the
law, (which seeks equally and con-
demhs invidious determinations ex-
cursion rates would be granted to
each national convention.

A "Trustn Which Is Popular.

There is great deal Of indignation,
felt against trusts Tho sugar trust
the Standard Oil trust the Welsh tin
plate trust, the English salt trust and
other combinations of the kind are
vigorously denounced, and it is a sub
ject of controversy whether there are
more trusts in England than America,
and whether protection or free trade
fosters them. But there is one form
of trust against which no one has any
thing to say. That is the trust the
public reposes in Hoods Sarsaparila.

WILL MEET DEFEAT.
Congressman Hits Resolution on
the Hawaiian Question
Discussed.

1t is the general opinion among
prominent members of the House
that Congress will be called upon very
soon to take up and decide the Ils-
waiian question. Chairman McCrcary
Of the House committee on Foreign
affairs has very recently had an extern
ded interview with the president, and
it is supposed matters relating to Ha-
waii we're under discussion. Mr..
McCreary will say nothing about the
conference, but from suggestions he
made, it is evident he expected Con
gress to deal with the matter A
member of the committee said the
President would not think of using
force while Congress was in session
rs that would be an act of war. There
has been theory advanced that after
hearing again from Minister Willis,
and learning positively if the queen
cannot be restored except by the use
of United States troops, the President
will present to Congress the case of
the queen as wronged monarch,
whose government has been over
thrown by this governmentand assert
that it is now the duty of the United
States to restore her to her former
condition even by using force. This
is one idea that has been advanced by
the friends of the administration.
There Will be great opposition in the
House committee on foreign affairs to
the resolution of representative IIitt,of
Illinois, on the ground that it would
not be right, in view of further prom
ised communication from the Execu-
tive on the subject, for the House to
give expression to the sentiments con-
tanned in the Hit resolutions Mr..
Hit will make every effort to secure
favorable report from the committee
upon resolutions, but as it viii take at
least three Democratic votes TO bring
such result, it is doubtful ifhe will
be successful.
