WHITNEY ON THE TARIFF.-In 4 re-
cent interview ex-Secretary of the
Navy Whitney said:
"No matter what disguise it may as
sumo, our present tariff system is es-
sentially tax upon the producing and
industrial classes. The national gov
eminent is supported by tax, not
upon property, but upon consumption.
The tariff is assessed, not upon what
men own, but upon what they eat and
drink and wear. 1t is too largely a
per capita tax. Under it it is easily
possible that poor man with q large
family may be compelled to pay
more taxes for the support of
the national government than an
economical millio naire with only him
self TO keep. An average man
in the middle and lower classes, max
ing income a basis of classification,
spends, say, IS per cent. of his income
for food and clothing. The average
rich man cannot spend over 5 per cent.
of his income for the same purpose.
National taxes being levied as they are,
the general mass Of the people, the pro-
ducing and industrial classes and the
great body of merchants, tradesmen
and professional men, pay fifteen times
as much tax in proportion to their
means as the rich man There lies the
secret of national distress.

This morning dawned cool and clear and with
an almost cloudiess SKY. the great crowds
who are here for the ceremonies of the

Their energy was rewarded with the first sight

THEIR BREAKFAST INTERRUPTED.
Young Couple Who Came Hero to &c
Married.

Young Couple Who Came Here to Get
Married.
Detective Boyd went to the Belvidere Hotel
this morning and interrupted the breakfast of
young couple. The man was Jas. H. Keith
He had been employed at the hotel as clerk,
but about six months ago he went to Baltimore,
where he got employment in the service Of the
telephone company.
In that city he met Miss Ella Cousins. a
pretty girl about seventeen years old, and this
morning they were together when the officer
entered the hotel dining room. They came
here last night and stopped at the hotel,
occupying separate rooms. When tine
officer told them of his mission both the man
and the girl showed surprise and they assured
him that they had come here to get married
and wore going to have the ceremony performed
this morning.
But Miss Ella q papa WAS at the door and he
would consent to no such q thing on the part of
the child he had idolized and the couple had "a
go to police headquarters.
The angered father walked in the room where
his daughter and her intended husband were
sitting and thrust his hand behind his Goa,
as though he meant to draw q revolver.
Detective Carter, who was watching him a,
the time, sp-an2 forward, grabbed the father
and looked for weapon, but there was nc
weapon there.
Inspector Ho!linberger talked with the father
OF the girl and Mr.. Cousins talked with his
child. but still he would not give his conseu,
for her to become the wife of Keith
He wanted his wife to express her desires in
the matter and SO telegram was sent to her
In the meantime the couple remained in In
spector Hollinberger's Office at headquarters.

1t further appears from the testimony that
Captain Of the Watch B-annon practiced loan
ing Of money at high rates Of interest to officers
and employees of the bureau, both to those
above and those below him in rank, thus pIac-
ing his superior officers under financial obliga-
tons to him.
I find that no inventory has been taken Of
the property in the weather bureau since the
transfer to the Deps rtment Of Agriculture.
July i, 1891; that no record of property is kept
in the different rooms or in charge of tie
various officers of the bureau; that the
reports OF the property on hand at different
times made by the property clerk or disbursi ag
officer were each rendered without knowledge
"a to the condition or even the presence Of the
property reported, or as to tine correctness or
falsity of the statements made.
An inventory directed by me during the in
vestigation on the item of carpets alone
disclosed the shortage or absence of
five complete unmeasured carpets. used
in various Offices Of the bureau, and
las yards of measured Garrett: sixty-
seven yards Of the latter. however, were re-
turned after notice on the day Of the inventory
by the captain Of the watch after having been
in his private possession and use at mis- private
| residence for more than six months.
RECOMMENDATIONS

conditions conclude that tie good of the gov
