The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-11-15

The defeat of Maynard and Body in
New York and the election of Judge
Gary in Chicago are distinct triumphs
of good government. Maynard and
Body had put themselves in positions
that were indefensible, If not criminal.
They were opposed by the better class of
democrats and by all the reputable dem
ocratic papers. Their overwhelming de-
feat is a gratifying assurance that New
York democrats demand good govern
ment as we'll as their brethren elsewhere.
Judge Gary was opposed by the A P. A.
because he is a catholic. His handsome
lead of his ticket is a slap in the face of
this reasonable organization which will
please all patriotic Americans. and it is
always a triumph of good government
to defeat these enemies Of American
constitutional liberty

HAT TRIMMINGS CASE
-@
Again Before the Su-

MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE.
Present Action the Result Of q Direct
Order Of President Harrison.

WAsHINcTt -, Aufil IA case, involv-
Ing $2l, G01, ,CdO to S3Ool0,oOO, will be before
the supreme court for argument next
week In the hat trimmings cases which
have been so long a subject of contention
and negotiation between the treasury de
partment and the importers.
Solicitor General Aldrich will appear for
the government. 10 argue for what will
amount 70 a reversal Of the decision In the
Edelhoff cases at the October term Of the
court in 1889 The case presented will be
one which has not before reached the su-
preme court, but the
Principle at Issue
will be substantially the same-whether
fabrics Of silk and velvet could be i'm
ported into this country under the tariff Of
1893 M 20 per cent ad valorum upon the
pretense that they were intended for hat
trimmings, when the duty levied upon
them as fabrics was 30 per cent.
The Edelhof decision was accepted by
the treasury department soon after 1t was
made, and number of circulars were
issued giving directions to collectors Of
customs as to the fabrics on which re-
funds were permitted. A COOL many
bitches occurred in the process OF adjust
ment, and many cases are still pending, In
spite Of the fact that the law was changed
In February, 1890, and subsequent I'M
portations have not been a subject OF dis
pute.
Ry Direct Order.
The action Of the department Of justice
I'm carrying new case TO the supreme
court is based upon direct order of Presi-
dent Harrison to Attorney General Miller
two days before he went out Of Office.
The attention Of the public was directed to
the subject early In the present year by a
resolution offered by Mr. Springer, chair
man Of the committee of ways and means,
requesting the suspension Of refunds with
out the authority of congress.
The resolution was not acted on by con-
grcss, but an order was issued by the treas
ury department early in February, sus-
pending such refunds, and was afterward
followed by the order of the president to
take the subject again before the supreme
court.
There have been several changes In the
composition of the court since the Edelhoff
decision, aud as the fabrics will not be
identically the same the officials of the de-
partment of Justice are hoping for differ
ent decision from that rendered by Justice
Blatchford three and half years ago.

Breakwater Accepted.

Portsmouth, November S.-Yesterday
Colonel Peter @. Hains of Portland, in
charge of the harbor Improvements in
this district, formally accepted from Con-
tractor Andrews the new breakwater on
the south side of Little harbor. The
breakwater extends about 1000 feet out
from the shore and nearly 200, 600 tons of
stone were used in its construction. The
basin has been dredged about three
quarters of mile, and there is at low
water about ten feet of water affordng a
harbor OF refuge for small crafts. It is
proposed to make 1t a harbor of safety,
and another breakwater will be con-
structe0 on the, north side of the en-
trance. It is proposed to dredge an
anchorage about 40 acres in extent in the
protected area to a depth of twelve feet
at mean low tide. Before the improve
ment was begun the harbor was exposed
to the full force of the sea in the north
east gales, and the depth of water at the
entrance and within the harbor was not
sufficient to accom- modate even small
craft at low tide.

members of the committee on ways and

adjournment and devote themselves to
completing the preparation of a tariff
bill. According to the statements of
Chairman Wilson and his associates the
draft of the bill has not yet SO far pro-
gressed that any authoritative statement
can be made by any one as to what will,or
will not be done with any particular
schedule or item.
Nevertheless there is a great dea! OF
gossip going on regarding the work of
the committee, and usually we'll in
formed members of the House believe
the following changes in the present rstes
will be incorporated in the bill reported
to the House:
That the duty on sugars under 10
Dutch standard shall be cent pound
and that the bounty on sugars produced
in the United States shall be reduced
from cents to cent pound. That the
duty on tin-plates shall be reduced from
2.2 cents to IL cents pound.
That block tin shall be admitted free

by Mr.. McP Pherson from the Senate COM
mlttee on finance in the last Congress.
The arrangement of the woolen schedule
will depend upon the report of treasury
expert who is said to be at work upon
statement intended to show just what
benefit free wool will be to manu-
facturers, and to reduce the rates on
manufactured articles by that amount.
What are known as compensatory duties
are also to be eliminated.
The duty on coal is to be reduced from
IS to either go or so cents ton. Glass
ware and pottery, some of the duties on
which are among the highest on the list,
will suffer a considerable reduction, but
the exact or even approximate per cent is
not stated.
In the internal revenue sections the tax
on beer is to be raised from 81 to SO a
barrel, and on whiskey from so cents to
81 gallon. The figures on tobacco and
cigars, it is said. have not been seriously
considered yet as the embers are wait
ing for estimates and recommendations
from the treasury department..
Whether an income tax, pure and
simple. shall be levied, or the shares o1
capital stock of corporations with public
franchises and rents be taxed, has not
been decided by the subcommittee. Rep
resentative Hall of Missouri has scheme
for an income tax, which he believes
will obviate most, if not all, the objec.
tions urged against the proposition, and
he has been asked by Chairman Wilson
to appear before the committee to sci
forth the advantages of the plan.

Washington, November 3-The Senate
committee on appropriations held an
earlier meeting than was expected and
reported the adjournment resolution,
which was Immediately taken up for dis
cussion.
Mr.. Coke, Dem, of Texas, protested
against the adjournment. The poorest
way, he said, for the Democratic party to
serve the country was Tor Congress to
adjourn, go home and leave the public
business. Congress, he argued. should
not adjourn. but should continue in
session and proceed in the transaction of
the public business. The Federal cleo
tions bill had been passed by the House
Bankruptcy bill was now before the
House and might be before the Senate in
a few days. There was quite number
of bills awaiting action, some of them
important Tariff reduction had been
promised to the country by the Demo-
cratic party and if that promise was not
to be broken, after another promise of
equal Importance had already been, it
was time that the decks were being
cleared and made ready for the contest
to be made over it. The Democratic party
had everything to lose and nothing to
gain by an adjournment, and the Repub-
licans had everything to gain and
nothing to lose by it.

posed adjournment
So did Mr.. Harris, Dem, of Tennessee,
who thought that the Democratic major

deem it's promises to the country.

Cured in what had been said, but it was
not worth while talking about it when

wiuld be an idle parade of zeal. The
purpose for which Congress had been

three months, Senators wanted an op-

He MARRIED AN AUGUSTA GIRL
When, 1t Is Alleged, Henry L. Strickland
Preacher, Already Had Two Wives.

Boston, November 3.-The Boston Post
today prints an article which makes
grave charges against Henry L. Strick-
land. The Post says: 'Last Saturday
night, Henry L. Strickland. the pastor of
the two churches at East Falmouth.
stood generally respected in the eyes of
the world; tonight he is adrift, with
three women alive whom he has called
by the name Of wife. Mrs. Strickland
No. 2, who was Miss Ida Bean of Angus
ia, Me-, is on her way to friends in Mere
dith, N. Il. Mrs. Strickland No 2, whose
maiden name was Parmela Potter, sits
bowed with grief in Providence, while
Mrs. Strickland No. / lives in England,
if the grave has not opened for her.''
| The article alleges that Strickland
came from England ten or dozen years
ago, as q musician. He drifted to Rhode
Island, and soon became the leader of a
band at Providence. While there he
welded Miss Potter. She heard rumors
that Strickland had wife living in Eng
land, and demanded proofs to the con-
trary. Documentary evidence was final
ly produced. Now it is believed the pa
pers were all forgeries. Afterward the
couple moved to Waldoboro, Me-, and
Strickland getting into pecuniary straits
his wife left him temporarily to seek her
living elsewhere
When she sought to return, Strickland
had the nerve to write her that she was
not his wife; that her first fears were
true; that he had wife abroad, and that
she had been trapped by false papers,
and this in spite of the fact that she had
at least twice sent him money Strick-
land fused one lof these remittances for
the expenses Of his third wedding.
Since that time, two years ago, Mrs
Strickland No. heard nothing Of him
until six weeks ago, although he has
been living openly under his old name
within fifty miles of Providence. It was
while living in Maine that Strickland
professed conversion, afterwards becom-
ing a preacher. He was recognized re-
Gently by man who knew of his deser-
ton of his second wife. She went to
Falmouth and made the circumstances
known. Strickland has fled.
