WASHINGTON, April 23.-The crowds Of
office-seekers Who have swarmed through
the White House at all hours for the last
few weeks, have made life miserable for the
President and Mrs. Cleveland Such thing

foreign dignitaries have been broken into.

made arrangements to prevent this in the

He has secured the handsome suit of
Offices in the War Department. belonging
formerly to the Secretary. It is there he
will in the future transact all business and
receive all callers.

TINS Administration appears 10 have a
particular animosity to ex-Secre. ery
Blaine's friends and the policy pursued
by him while acting Secretary Of State
under the late President Harrison. In
mediately on Mr. Cleveland's assuming
the Presidential chair both Of Mr.. Blaine's
private Secretaries were dismissed. and
Mr. Robert Blaine and his son brother
and nephew The late Secretary, were
removed from the positions they occu-
pied, and now comes the report that
steps are being taken to sbrogate the rec
lprocity treaties negotiated under the
secretaryship Of Mr.. Blaine. While the
reciprocity amendment was pending the
Democrats pretended 10 be in favor Of en-
larging our foreign trade. and were en-
thusiastic in its praise, but now when
one country after another has entered in
10 reciprocal trade relations with Us, they
decry II as worthless and failure.
But facts are stubborn things. The
treaty with Spain has given our wheat
growers control Of the -four market Of
Cuba and our exports TO that island alone
have increased from SlS000O00 10 So
100000. By the treaty with Brazil, made
a little over two years since, they have
increased from Sl26O90,00l in 1892 to
S2i7,000,000 in lS93. and so with Hondu-
ras, Nicaragua and all the South Ameri-
can republics, our trade has wonderfully
increased. The excuse for this antago-
nism to reciprocity is that 1t stands in the
Way Of tariff reform" This is the mer-
est pretext, because if the Mckinley tar.
i'll was wiped cGthe Statute books the
reciprocity treaties would not stand in
the way The Tact appears 10 be patent
that the proposed abrogation is nothing
more nor less than an attempt 10 take
from Mr.. Blaine the credit for these ben
eGcial measures.

south carOllna's Tax Cases.


WasHlNo1oS, April 2t.-The South Caro-
lima tax cases were passed upon by the su-
preue Court Of the United States to-day, the
opinion being delivered BY Chief Justice
Faller. Il came upon the petition ofsher-
fl Tyler, of Aikea county, fora writ Of
habeas ccrpus 10 release him from imprison-
meni under Judgment Of the Circuit Court
ofihe United stsies, that he be fined 500 for
ooutempt. He had seized a train on the
South Carolina railroad. upon warrant
issued by the State authorities, for the col
lection Of taxes, which werein controversy.
The road was in the hands of a rece. yer ap-
pointed BY the United States Court, and he
was a5iudged guilty Of contempt for falling
20 release the property under order Of that
court.
Justice Fgller read an opinion containing
much stronger language than is usually
fog1d in such documents, denying the ap-
pli1a,ion Of the petitioner for the writ. He
said heseizuEe of the property by force was
brutal, and could not be defended. The
same Judgment was announced in the cases

are the greatest Of the kind in this country,
and as The condition Of the company was
Supposed 10 be exceptionally strong, the
news Of the difficulties occasioned great
surprise.
Among those who were unaccustOmed to
the intricacies Of the financial management
Of corporations the news conveyed by the
early bulletins read like that Of a national
misfortune, for they believed that the works
would be closed and many thousands Of
work-people thrown idle. The town Of

dependent on the prosperity ofthe company,

By the stringency ofthe money market.
