Mitchell seemed in good spirits, and
is certainly looking like he was taxing

The articles which Mitchell signed
do rot differ in any essential respect
from those signed by VIM. a. Brady,
representing Corbett in the Coleman
House July 70, except that this clause
referring to the original articles signed
In February was eliminated.
"It is distinctly understood that ail
of the conditions agreed to by the two
pri nclpals in an instrument signed dur
ing the month of February, 1898, snail
hold good in this agreement
By striking out that clause the orig :
nal articles are now void. The new
articles read as follows:
Articles of agreement made and en-
tered into this 23d day Of September,

WAsHINGrON, D. c., September %
Erd OF Pennsylvania, will intro
duce In the House on Monday oil on
which ne has been engaged for some
time and under the operations OF which
he believes tho government could raise
q considerable annual revenue without
imposing on any one a burden which
would be felt.
The bill proposes the imposition OF q
succession TAX on real and personal eS-
tates. All estates under 100000 in
amount are by the terms Of the bill eN-
emDt from taxation On estates worth
over SlOO. 600 and less than $500, 600 a
tax Of one per cent, and on estates or
more than $500. 600 a tax Ol three per
cent. is imposed where the successor or
heir IS lineal descendant. Where the
the successor Is q collateral heir or
q stranger 10 blood the above rates OF
taxation are doubled. A number OF
provisions follow, intended 70 prevent
evasiOns by trusts, settlements, reserya-
tions, etc. The methods OF assessments
snd collections OF the tax are carefully
prescribed. An appeal from the deciS-
ions OF Internal Revenue Collectors 70
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Is allowed, but the decision Of the Com
missioner will be final The tax re-
mains lien upon the realty and per-
sonalty until paid, Mr. Edmund's idea
in introducing this bin Is that
AZ present the great estates
OF the country bear an inadequate share
OF the burdens Of taxation while they
require more Of the government 10 the
way OF protection FOR their maintenance
and transmission than do estates OF
moderate proportions. The provisions
OF the bin, IL 10 becomes law, would
REQUIRE no Increase 10 the number OF in

ble that the taxes imposed bv il could

BARTER NEEDS NO PROTECTION.
He IL = Manuiacturer OF Agricultural I'm
pIements aud Flour and Thinks the
Duty should be for Revenue Only.

WAsHINGroN, d. c., September "a
Representative Harter, Of Ohio, who
was prevented from appearing before
the Ways and Means Committee 70 ar
que in favor OF placing agricul-
uraI implements and -four on the
free list has submitted brief
10 the committee covering the
statements which be intended 20 make
Mr.. Harter is himself manufacturer OF
agricultural implements. The present
duty on agricultural implements be says
is IS per cent. while the labor cost is
only 20 per cent. and the wages paid
f0r the labor in the countries
which compete are about 20 per cent. OF
those paid here. On this showing
revenue duty Of 10 per cent. would pro-
tect the American manufacturer.
Mr.. Harter declares, however, that no
protection ought 70 be given as agrlcul-
iural implements are produced In the
United States cheaper than 10 foreign
countries and the American goods con-
troI the trade. he says that small
tariff duty ought 20 be continued per-
haps, looking not 10 protection but
20 revenue. With regard 10 wheat
-four the duty st present
is IS per cent, wages do not constitute
more than s per cent. Of this cost A
duty OF . per cent, therefore, instead
OF the present rate Of 25 per cent,
would be ample. As manufacturer OF
agricultural implements for twenty-five
years aud Of four for nearly twenty
years, Mr.. harter therefore asks that
both -four and agricultural implements
be placed on the free list.

NOT AN ENEMY OF PENSIONERS

Have Been Placed Upon the Rolls
Who Do Not Belong There.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., September 23.-
Secretary HO6e Smith has made state
meEt regarding his position upon the
pension question. He says that be has
often been grossly misrepreSented iu
this matter and held responsible for acts
about which he knew nothing until
they had been committed.
The Secretary takes as his text the
decis sion rendered iu the pension case
OF Charles 7. Bennett, a private 10
Company +, Thirteenth Indiana Vol
unteers. which was the basis upon
which an important order was issued
and about which so much has been
said Mr.. Smith also SAYS that 10 IS
wrong 90 suppose be is common
enemy 90 pensions. He actually and
CouSciautiOUs.y believes there has crept
upon the peuSion rolls, through o-e
avenue or another, by various rulings
OF pension commissioners and the work
OF examiners and other officers OF the
pension bureau, an enormous number
Of persons who were not entitled % pen
siOOs.
These are the ones 7 AN after de-
clares the Secretary, land they are the
ones We intend % weed out OF the pen
sion list 70 they reduce the total mum
Der OF pensioners one-bali,'
Referring 90 the order OF Commits
si0ner L5chran, directing that al pen
sioners whose claims were not good
upon the presentation made should be
dropped from the rolls for q period Of
sixty davs, when they must make
their claims good or suffer permanent
Suspension, Secretary Smith says that
this action was taken when be was ab-
sent from Washington, and that 10 did
not meet his approval. BE believes
that, whether there was authority or
not, q pensiOner after being once placed
upon the rolls should have notice be-
fore being dropped,
Secretary smith states that his orig
fnal idea iu having the list Of "suS-
poets" prepared was 70 have stricken
from the rolls those who had failed TO
present prima facie evidence that they
were entitled @ pensions. He believes
that Investigation into all or these cases
will lead 20 the discovery Of much
fraud, and that fully half Of those who
have not made prima facle cases will
fail 10 their efforts 20 show that they
we're entitled 20 pensions. Many Of
those who were being notified that they
ruust furnish oeW evidence bad so little
10 stand upon that ;hey would make DO
effort whatever. The Secretary says it
Is a great mistake 20 suppose that he
intends 20 decrease pension eXpeudi-
tures by depriving those who are en-
TITLED 10 pensions under the law Of their
lust rewards. He says that be Is not
opposed 20 pensions. Referring 70 the
fact thar quite a number Of pensioners
who were dropped from the rolls were
being reinstated. the Secretary SAYS
thatall OF them had furnished the re-
ouired evidence, ahd had filed In the
links breaking the chain TO their cases.

Senator Stewart Promises to Spring q
Sensation on mondsy-WIu Charge the
President With "Inhuenoing Legisla-
tIOu."
WASHINGTON, D. c., September %
The President OF the United States will
be arraigned in the United States Sen
ate next Monday, for violating the
spirit Of the Constitution in endeavor-
ing TO destroy the independence OF the
law making branch of the government,
by seeking to coerce Congress into the
passage of the repeal bill.
Notice TO this effect was clearly indl-
Gated In a resolution this morning pre-
sented by Senator Stewart, OF Nevada,
upon which the Senator announced that
he would address the Senate next Mon
day. This resolution declares that the
independence OF the coordinate de-
partments Of the government must be
maintained and that the use OF the
power and influence of one depart
ment TO control the action OF
another is in violation OF the constitu-
tion ar6 destructive Of our form of gov
eminent. The introduction Of the
resolution created quite a sensation,
and the discussion Of the matter on
Monday will certainly attract great at
tention, as it indicates the intention OF
the silver Senators to divert the dis
cussion OF the Senate to the alleged at
tempt OF the President to control the
legislation OF Congress.
