IF the millions of silver in the
treasury was converted into legal
tender silver certificates and paid
to workmen for improvements in
public buildings, on our rivers
and harbors and upon our public
roads, what a blessing it would
be. The lack of work is what
lowers wages, makes cravens of

tramps, etc. The people need the
work and the country needs the
improvements, and all that stands
between prosperity and happiness
is few gold bug gamblers who

made in it. The modern shylock

move on the part OF the midwinter peo-

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Growing Impression That No Radical
Reductions VIII BE Made.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-There is a
growing impression among those who
have talked with the majority members
of the committee on ways and means
who are preparing a tariff bill, that this
BILL when 1t is reported, will not present
such a radical reduction as was prom
fsed some time ago. Just what led to
this is not clear except that the deficit
in the treasury makes il important that
the reductions of the duty shall not be
so radical as to impair the revenue rails
ing qualities Of the measure. TIL re have
been numerous eXpedients talked of to
raise sufficient revenue, chiefly those re-
lating to an increase of internal taxa
ton. It has been intimated that these
suggestions have been given out with
the idea of testing the feeling Of the
people upon them and to see if they
viii be too much of burden upon those
who will have to bear them.
There has been a lull in the talk of the
income tax during the week but it is
evident that those who favor it have
not been idle.
Mr.. Bryan Of Nebraska, member of
the committee, SIS that he is devoting
much time to tie income tax PROPOSE
ton. He thinks that he is making con-
verts for ii in the committee and hopes
to have il reported as a revenue raising
feature of the tariff bill. Other MEM
bers of the committee say that ii will
be impossible now TO cut the duties to
that extent that many people seem to
think should be done, and they will give
out the impression that so far from be-
ing such a radical measure as once pre-
dicted it will be a mild reduction all
around without any heavy cuts on any
thing and with free list not so largely
increased as has been talked of. Indeed
some of the members are opposed to en-
laTging the free list to any extent ex
cept I'm a few and unimportant articles,
especially when the revenues of the gov
eminent are in their present condition.
There is now talk about a reduction up
on coal and iron ore Instead of sending
both of these articles to the free list.
Ii is true that in all that has been
said about the tariff bill nothing Off
cially has been given out except the
statement Of Chairman Wilson that the
first draft Of the customs bill had been
completed.
Secretary Carlisle did not send any
intimatiOn of a public nature to con-
gress indicating that he wanted any leg
islation to relieve the treasury, but it is
known that the ways and means COM
mittee has taken into consideration the
state Of the finances of the treasury
and that possibly it would have been
able to act if a request had been made.

COLLECTOR BRACKEN HERE.
He Appoints Z. j. Ryan His Chief
Deputy-WiII Not Move.

William H. Bracken. the new internal
revenue collector for this district, spent
Sunday in the city. He says the news
paper rumor that he would move the
principal office to this city is without
foundation. Seventy-five per cent. of
the business of the office comes from
Lawrenceburg and vicinity and 1t would
not only increase the labOrs connected
with the Office TO move it here, but it
would greatly inconvenience those who
have business with it, A large distil-
lery at Hammond has made application
and will begin operation in short time.
This is the largest in the state and will
transact its business through the Indian
apolis branch Of the revenue office.
This branch will be in charge of p. ].
Ryan, whom Mr.. Bracken appointed as
his chief clerk during his stay in the
city. Mr.. Ryan for two years repre-
scented the Eleventh ward in the coun-
ell. He was chairman Of the committee
on contracts and franchises, which posi-
ton he occupied at the time of the sale
of the street car franchise to the City
street railway company. He has for
some years been active in local politics,
being identified with the democratic
party. He is in the grocery business.
William Hamilton was appointed as
sistant stamp clerk. He is a resident of
Lawrence township. A travelling deputy
is yet to be appointed, but Mr.. Bracken
has not determined upon the man.
Friends of John Schiltges are pushing
him for the position and he may receive
it. w. j. Zacharais has been named as
chief clerk of the second sub-district
but the other appointments there are as
yet undetermined Mr.. Brac1en said
that all of the places would he .ille1 by
the end of the week. The collector has
recommissioned all of the old deputies

the new men familiariZe themselves
with the duties.

PENSION DAY.
Over S,G62 Men Were Paid Yesterday
But More to Follow.

Saturday was pension day and at an
early hour in the morning the pensioners
lined up in front Of the Office and waited.
There were a good many anxious hearts
in the gathering, for many of them
didn't know whether there was a pen
sion, a drop or a suspension waiting
for them. As a matter of fact there
were some dropped and some suspended,
but the statement that the number
dropped reached 100 and those suspended
500 was greatly exaggerated. Mr.. Ensley
said, in speaking of the matter; 1T is
impossible for me to give out official fig
ures and 1 can't say anything about it,
but such things are generally greatly eX-
aggerated. There We're some dropped
and some suspended. Further than this
l cannot say. l can say this, however,
there have been many reinstatements.
But 1 can't give official figures on that
point either
The amount of pension money paid in
when all are paid will be over one mill
ion and a half dollars. The number
paid yesterday was as follows In per-
son over the counter, 1852; by mail, 5,210i
total, $3.50.
Disbursements: In person over the
counter, $192,S92; by mail, $2005S5; total.
1892, 977.
Some pathetic stories are told about
pensioners who were dropped or sus-
pended, but there is much to be heard
on the other side. If these cases prove
to be worthy they will be reinstated with
full pay during the time of suspension.
The department intends to do justice to
all and there are few who doubt 1t now.

QUARANTINE RAISED.


The state board of health decided
Friday to raise the quarantine at
Muncie A committee consisting of DIR.
f. G. Jackson, ]. c. Johnson and II. H.
Highlands met with the board and Gov
ernor Matthews and presented the stu
alton at Muncie with the request that
the quarantine restrictions be discontin-
ued It was shown that the disease was
under control and that there was now
no danger of a further spread 1t was
thought that the public schools and
churches could now be opened without
danger by requiring each pupil to pre-
sent a certificate of health and a certii-
cate of vaccination. The infected
houses will be carefully watched and no
one will be allowed to enter or leave
them. All smallpox patients are now
in the hospital provided for them and
there has been no new cases for over
two weeks.
After these facts, which were already
known to the board, had been presented
the committee withdrew and the situa-
ton was discussed by the board and
the governor. The conclusion was unan-
imously reached that the quarantine
could now be safely raised and the COM
mittee was instructed to present the
matter in the form of a written petition
and il would De granted. This will re-
lieve the state of the great expense 1t
has been TO for the past three or four
weeks to maintain the so-called railroad
quarantine.
The state board is in receipt Of infor-
nation that the trouble between the city
and county health board at Dunl1irk had
been amicably adjusted and that the
county board had provided a hospital
for smallpox patients. There is as vet
only the one case and it will probably
prove fatal A number Of persons. how
ever, were exposed. and it is believed
that other cases will develop and prep
arations will be made to fight its further
spread.

Another fatal accident was added TO
the long list Friday night.
James a. Rogers, an employee of the
Brush electric light station on S. Penn
sylvania-st., accidentally placed his
hands on one of the brushes of a
dynamo. He received a shock Of prob
ably one thousand volts and was almost
instantly killed.
Rogers, who was a married man.
lived with his wife at us Chadwick-st,
He had only been in the employ of the
light company about one month. Pre-
vious to that time he was out Of en-
ployment for several weeks. He was a
careful workman and obeyed the in
structiOns of the foreman of the works
in regard to handling machinery, etc.
Just what he was doing or in exactly
what manner he received the shock is
not known, but it is supposed that he
was either oiling or adjusting some part
Of the machinery.
The first intimation his fellow-worI<-
men had that anything was wrong was
when the lights furnished by the dynamo
at which he was working were extin-
Suished. Van Cunningham, one Of the
men employed in the works. saw Rogers
turn from the machine and walk a dis
lance of probably six feet. He then
sank to the floor and was dead before
medical aid could reach him. 1t is sup
posed that when he received the shock
he clutched at the machine and his hand
accidentally coming in contact with the
switch shut the current off. There were
no marks on his body with the exception
Of his finger tips which were slightly
burned.
There is a standing order in the works
to the effect that when the men are
working about the dangerous machines
they must always work with one hand,
keeping the other one behind them. Had
Rogers done this he would have been
alive today. Just what caused him to
place both hands on the brushes at the
same time is not konwn. The machine
was in perfect running order and there
was no reason for doing SO.
Coroner Beck was notified and arrived
on the scene shortly after Rogers died.
He made an investigation, after which
the body was taken in charge by d.
Kregelo & Son. Rogers had only been
married since last April. Coroner Beck
drove to his home and broke the terri
BILE news to his wife.
