LIEB Is LEFT.

No Change in the Pension Agency Up Ia
Date.
Gen. Lieb wrote a book on the
tariff
But he hasn't got the pension
agency.
This is awful.
over five thousand men have writ
ten books on the tariff.
And they are out Of Jobs.
Cleveland's idea Of home industry
must be peculiar one
If it wasn't he would encourage
the tariff reformers-to write more
books.

But Pious Fraud Continues
to Be Perpe-
trated.
A Shameful State OF Affairs
on the North
Side.

The three blocks of residence prop
erty extending from Dayton street to
Sheffield avenue and from Belden
avenue to Fullerton avenue, on the
North Side, are not taxed to the ex-.
tent Of one dollar.
This in defiance of all law.
The three blocks referred to are
covered with magnificent residences,
every one Of which is rented, the in
come from eacn being from SS5 to
5000 per month.
And yet these houses pay no taxes.
They claim exemption because the
title to them is in the trustees Of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
The Seminary is located on the
block bounded by Dayton and Halsted
streets, Belden and Fullerton avenues.
Under the law, the Seminary itself
and the residences of the professors
on the same block are exempt.
But the law expressly provides that
property belonging to such institu-
tions, used for profit, must be taxed.
In defiance Of this law, three
blocks, or fifteen acres, lying west OF
the one block, or five acres, on which
the Seminary is located, 60 scot free,
and The grand residences erected
thereon pay no taxes at all
The poor people of the city are
taxed TO the limit.
This year, the State Board Of
Equalization will add so per cent.
more to their burde2some load. And
all this time this Presbyterian steal
will continue.
Is this property lawfully exempt?
is not
Here is the law on the subject,
which the reader can digest for him

the State Of Illinois exempts:

Q
am right in predicting that Lawler
will be Sections successor"
Congressman Durborow said: Il see
no change in the situation. | am
backing Gen. Smith, and l believe
that he will be appointed. F."
Congressman Springer said: "By
the rules which have heretofore pre-
vailed, l think that Lawler will be
appointed. He has the strongest in
dorsements. Just listen: He has the
Senator and Every Democratic Con-
gresham in the State except Dur
borrow, and 65, 900 people besides. |
don't see how anybody can think
otherwise than that Lawler will be
appointed / do not think that this
delay has hurt Lawler a bit. The
1
delay is not in his case alone. The
delay is all along the line, The Pres
ident will act when he gets around to
it, and his action will, | think, be in
favor of Frank Lawler.
There is no denying the fact, either,
that there exists among the Con
gressmen very warm feeling for
Lawler and hope that he will be
appointed. Whether this feeling
takes any more tangible shape can
not be said. Its existence shows his
popularity, and while it is not Gus
tomary for members to interfere with
appointments in districts other than
their own it would not be surprising
were some of them to put in good
word for Lawler should the opportu-
nifty present.
The list of candidates for the place
to date follows: Frank Lawler, II.
j. Smith, f. f. Lawrence, ID. c.
Cregier S. ?. Cady, w. J. Onahan,
Washington Hesing, j. G. Price, and
as a compromise John A. King is
talked Of. w. j. Mize is understood
to be favorably thought of by some,
but it is reported that Mr.. Mize says
that he is not candidate and that
the use of his name is unauthorized.

would be clearer and the President
might arrive at conclusion earlier.
But for that matter, the same thing
might be said, in a slightly less de-
gree, about the other candidates. 1t
is reported, however, that Lawler
will not Withdraw, and that his
friends will not consent to a com
promise unless he consents. He
holds that he has just as much right
to the place as any other Democrat,
and as the 1000 petitioners, with
the exception of a few who have

There are any number of good men

There are sixteen candidates from

John Donnelly of Woodstock, and

Chicago has an excellent post
master.
He is a gentleman.

He is gentleman.
And he is a Republican.
And as he is a respectable citizen
and not a mugwump, he is anxious to
give up his job to a good Democrat.
The Chicago Congressman believe
that the President will appoint Post
master Sections successor before the
end of September. Whom he will
select cannot be told No one here
feels warranted in saying, and it is
doubtful if the President himself has
vet made up his mind on the subject.
With one exception-Mr Durborow--
the opinions of the Chicago members
are unanimous that Frank Lawler
will be the fortunate man. They are
politicians, and they do not see
how the President can well
ignore the powerful backing which
Lawler possesses. They call to
mind the very friendly expressions
which the President has used in
speaking of Lawler, and say that it
seems almost certain that he will get
the place which he has struggled so
hard for. Yet not one of the dele
cation has heard anything of an
authoritative character to indicate
that the President has decided to Sc
lect Lawler. Their opinions are
based simply on what they know of
LAWYERS Endorsement, what they
know of political procedure, and
possibly what they would do were
they in the Presidents place.
1t has been said that Senator
Palmer has decided to throw Lawler
over, This the Senator denies. He
has Endorsed LAWYER has spoken Of
him TO the President as his choice,
and he proposes to stick to him until
reasons more powerful than he has
yet received are presented to him
showing why he should cease to do
so. The Senator has heard nothing,
either directly or by inference, to in
dictate that there has been any change
in the situation Congressman-at-
large Black not only champions
Lawler but believes that Lawler will
be postmaster. He said to-day:
4 have been and am vocating
LAWYERS claims for the Office. They
are very strong, as the fact that
50, 600 people have signed his petition
attests. No one has advanced

The storm is also continuing havoc

tWenty-foot snow bank and a gang of
a hundred men, with a snow pillow, has
been at work all day trying to release

Eight fishing boats belonging to

each, are still missing. There is but
little hope that they survived the

Augusta, Me, Nov 20.-A reporter
of the Kennebec Journal called on ex-
Minister of Hawaii Stevens at his home
this evening regarding Commissioner
Blount's report. Stevens said he
firmly adhered to all his previous state
ments and he expressed great sur
prise at the language of Blount as to
Stevens unwiIlingness to show him the
records of the legation. Stevens says
he feels himself at liberty to expose
Blounts remarkable conduct towards
himself. commencing Immediately after
Blounts arrival in Honolulu. He had
record. Stevens said, for publication
which will astonish all honorable
minds, bringing to Stevens no censure
unless it be he tolerated such insult
ing treatment without at once resent
ing it by refusing all intercourse with
the offending person.
Stevens two weeks ago made an i'm
perative engagement out of the state.
which will occupy the next two or
three days. With reasonable prompt
ness he will be heard in his defense.

feeling bit chagrined, however. and
when the next steamer arrives from
Hawaii it is expected they will then
haze their turn to laugh. A dispatch

by the force landed from the United
States steamer Boston, and known as
Arion Hall, are situated on the west
side of the government building. This
location was in the rear of a large
brick building known as the Music
hall. The street it faces is a com
paratively narrow one. The building
itself facing the government In my
opinion it was inadvisable to locate the
troops there if they were landed for
the protection of United States citizens,
being distantly removed from the
business portion of the town, and
generally far away from the United
States legation and the consulate
general, as we'll as being distant from
the house and residences of United
States citizens Had the provisional
government troops been attacked from
the east such an attack would have
placed them in the line of fire.
Had the Music hall been seized by
the queens troops they would have
been under their fire had such been
their desire. It was for these reasons
1 consider the position occupied lily
selected. Naturally, if they landed
with a view to support the provisional
government, the troops then occupied
the government building, it was a
wise choice. as they could enfilade any
troops attacking them, from the palace
grounds in front. There is nothing
further for me to state in reference to
this matter that has been called by
you to my attention. All of which is
submitted for your consideration. Very
respectfully, (signed)

her majesty, expressing my sympathy

precipitate a conflict with the
forces of the United States;
that the idea was terrible and
such conflict should be avoided
that her case would be considered
at Washington and peaceful submits

addressed her majesty, saying he be-
lieved the result would be a repeti-
ton Of 1S43, when the sovereign and the
flag were restored to Hawaii by Great
Britain. I was moved to advise her
majesty as I did, because it was re-
ported on the streets that Minister
Stevens had said if the revolutionists
obtained possession of the government
buildings he would recognize them as
