Eli and Hoke on Revenue.
New York SIM.


They were talking about the low bal
ance in the treasury the other day at the
Colonial club when Eli Perkins, the
great American truth teller, was asked
what caused it.
tit was caused" said Eli, shy the
Republican foolishly paying out $50, ooo,-
900 to reimburse the states for the equip
ment of troops in 1861. This had been
due the states for thirty years. Cleve-
land wouldn't pay this debt, but the first
thing Harrison did was to pay it. How
foolish! He ought to have let it bangle
along and let the next administration
pay it. That's what Grover did,"
''But how shall we raise sufficient reve-
nue. now?" was asked.
''Why, lower the tariff. import more
goods, and collect the revenue on them"
But can we import these things and
still make them at homer"
"Why, of course, any one can see that
Hoke Smith says so.'
what would you put tariff on?''
ssHoke and | would have tariff for
revenue, not for protection. We'd adopt
the English tariff. The English have a
tariff Of eight cents on tea, five cents on
coffee, four cents on cocoa, $1.20 on to-
bacco, $3.50 OH whiskey, and one cent on
sugar, Sugar, coffee, tea, and tobacco
are free in America
sAnd tin, what would you do with
that? We have fifty-six factories now,
"Oh, let it come from Wales. The
facture here. Can't you see?''
'sAnd the ninety-four pearl button fac
tories now in this country, what of themf
Would you take the tariff off and let oui
workmen work for German wages or &C
back home?n
s'Why, yes. With low tariff they'e
all be imported from Austria, and, at the
same time, our factories would be run
ming here. Hoke Smith says So"
"And what will we do with sugar? VIZ
are paying out now 5000, 000,0 900 for sugar
All our surplus wheat goes for sugar
Miles square are going into beet sugar il
Nebraska and California. Sugar cane il
showing up into Texas and Louisiana
It's going up the Brazos. A half mill
ion bales of cotton came out last year tt
give place to sugar and rice. Shall W.
take the bounty off and buy our sugar il
Germany, France and Cuba, or keep CT
the bounty, as Germany did, and by ane
by make all our own sugar? Shall VIZ
choke off the splendid sugar factories a
Grand island, Norfolk and Aberdeen
Dakotag'
"Why, yes; import it and get the reve
nue.. What's $780, 900 worth of hom,
made sugar to us? What do we care fo
| $4,000, 600 worth oil home made plat,
| glass, and $100,000,000 worth of iron
Let the knitting factories go back t.
| Chemnitz, let the sugar factories go bacl
| to Germany, let tin plate go back t.
Wales, let pearl buttons 60 back t,
Vienna, and plate glass and pottery ant
| velvet go back to England and France
| We want to get the revenue on them
We are in for revenue. The boys votes
for change, and we are going to hav;
it. They got so per cent. protection Sane
300 per cent bigger wages than any othel
workmen on earth, and now they ar,
going to get 80 per cent. protection, hav'
the same wages, and the things are al
| going to be made in Europe. You hea
me-Hoker'
Then the old truth teller wiped hi
| glasses with his red bandanna handker
chief, and went on reading the Presi
| dents inaugural.

VIOLATION OF THE ANTITRUST LAW.
! Rule of the brotherhood of Engineers
Declared to be IlleGat.

The decision of United States Judge
Speer, rendered Saturday ait Macon, Ca.
granting the petition of the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers to require the
receiver of the Central railroad of Georgia
to enter into a contract with that organ
ization for the service of its members on
that road has attracted much attention.
Members of the bar pronounce it the
most far-reaching and satisfactory decla-
ration upon the relations of capital and
labor yet rendered.
In the course of his decision Judge
Speer referred to rule 70 of the brother
hood, which prohibits members en-
ployed on connecting lines fl ON handling
the property of railroad on which there
is strike of the engineers, and said the
rule was in direct violation of the laws
of the land. 1t was plainly rule or an
agreement in restraint of trade or COM
merce, as described in the Sherman anti
trust law. A combination of persons
which would have the effect to defeat
the provisions of the Interstate Com
merce law, inhibiting Determinations in
the transportation of freight and pas
sengers. would be liable to severe penal
ties. In any conceivable strike upon the
transportation lines of this country there
would be interference with Interstate
or foreign commerce. 1t would be prac-
tically impossible hereafter for body of
men to combine to hinder and delay the
work of the transportation company
without becoming obnoxious to the pro-
visions of the law; and combination OF
agreement of railroad officials or other
representatives of capital with the same
effect would be equally under the ban of
the penal statutes. Organized labor,
when Injustice has been done or threat
ened to it's membership, should appeal
to the courts for redress against unlaw-
full trusts and combinations which could
do wrong to it.
The judge said further that while an
engineer may at any time exercise his
right to leave the service of the receiver,
he may not do SO in such manner as to
injure the property or impede its proper
management When the members in the
employ of the receiver desire to leave his
service'in a body or otherwise, in such
manner as may impede the operations
of the road, they must do so upon such
conditions as the court may think proper
for the protection of property and the
| maintenance of justice to all concerned

have performed them for a long time be-
fore she received the appointment, for it
is well known fact that the clerk of
any of the minor senate committees is
virtually but the secretary Of the chair
man of the committee, and Miss PETER
has assisted her father in that capacity
ever since the beginning of the last ses-
sion of congress. Previous to that she
was stenographer and bookkeeper in
the business Office Of the Kansas Farmer,
with which paper her father has been
connected for many years.
Miss PETER is extremely businesslike
in her treatment Of her fathers CORE
spondence, opening and reading all his
letters and making brief notes Of their
contents on the outer fold, with the
writer's name and address and the date.
Her briefng is said to be SO well and adj
curately done that the senator never has
to read any of his letters except from
choice. In addition to taking care Of
her fathers correspond ence with his con-
stituents and others she writes from die
tation letters to the heads of departments
and bureaus of the government, looks
after requests for seeds, directs and
franks public documents and keeps a
record of books sent and Classics and
files letters requiring to be preserved for
future reference.
Miss PETER is native of Fredonia,
Wilson county, KAN, and was educated
in the public schools of that state. She
graduated from the Topeka high school
and subsequently took q course in a bust
ness college. She is Of a very sympa,
thetic disposition and thoroughly enjoys
her life at the national capital.

Through a Pine to Europe.

General F. NJ. Clarke of Fort Worth,
Tex, thinks he can shoot people across
TO Europe through a pneumatic tube
under the ocean at the rate of 1000 miles
an hour. He says he has discovered that
rubber can be made so as to retain its
elasticity in the air and become harder
when immersed in sea water. He pro-
poses to sink tubes of this rubber and
when they get good and hard to use
them for all sorts Of transportation. He
has the usual hazy notions about the pos
sibility and prevention of accident.

from Bishop g. Co.'S bank, met Mr..
Grace and rendered him the debt in
full, and no more was said Of it.
Presently Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;,
owner of the Woodlawn Dairy was
enquiring for the same individual,
who owed small debt to that con-
Germ also.
This was not all, either, as a few
minutes before 8 o'clock this morn
ing Henry May u Co. had a warrant
issued for Mr.. Wong Hang, the firms
books showing that he was indebted
to them to the tune of about 1880
Marshal Hitchcock thought it was
too late, and the papers We're not
served. This debt was like the
others, contracted while the China
man was proprietor OF the restau-
rant. He had purchased all his
groceries at Henry May g. Co.'S,
sometimes running up bill Of 500
or $500. Very frequently he pur-
chased $1,000 worth Of groceries at
the store in a quarter, paying half in
cash and leaving the rest on the
books. The bills were always sent
to Sam Wo.
Probably canvass of all the re-
tail stores would show that there are
other mourning creditors of Wong
Hang.

WALKED OUT OF COURT.
Action of Defendant Under Advice
of His Counsel.

j. p. Bowen, formerly proprietor
of the billiard saloon adjoining the
Pantheon Saloon, was brought be-
fore the District Magistrate this
morning, to answer to the charge Of
larceny in the fourth degree in steal
ing and carrying away one pair of
screen doors valued at S., the pro-
perty Of H. A. Widemann, in Homo
lulu, on August 3lst.
G. w. Ashford, who appeared for
defendant, demurred to the charge
as read. The warrant stated that
James Dodd was the complainant.
w. A. Kinney for complaint stated
that the property belonged to H. A.
Widemann, and that was why it was
altered.
Ashford wanted sworn affidavit
produced showing that the propert y
was Mr.. Widemann's.
Kinney declined to furnish any
such document, as it was uuneces-
sary. Amendments can be made to
a charge at any time prior to a deci.
sion by the Court.
Ashford advised his client to re.
fuse to plead to the charge, tapping
him on the back at the same time
and together they walked out of the
Courtroom. Before leaving Ashford
addressed the Judge, stating that he
intended no disrespect to Hi:
Honor.
AS soon as they left the room Hi:
Honor ordered the Court officer tc
call defendant. The officer reported
that defendant was not to be found
Bail was therefore ordered forfeited
A bench warrant was issued thi:
afternoon and Bowen will be rear
rested for contempt of Court.

TREATY WITH CHINA.
Petition Forwarded by the Retired
Minister to Washington.

The petition which was handed to
Tsui Kwo Yin, ex-Chinese Minister
to Washington, was signed by one
hundred of the most prominent
Chinese merchants in Honolulu. 1t
simply asks that the Emperor nego-
tiate with the Hawaiian Government
for treaty between China and Ha-
waii, similar to that now enjoyed by
Japan, should the Emperor think
such step fit. If the Emperor
deem the matter of sufficient i'm
portance, which the merchants think
it is, special commissioner will be
here, perhaps inside of three months,
to make personal survey of Chi
nese interests.
1t will be remembered by old resi-
dents that King Kalakaua went ia
China years ago to negotiate for d
treaty between China and Hawaii
but just at that time the Emperor's
grandmother died, and the matter
was dropped.
Minister Tsui Kwo Yin is said
poor, and is consequently very
economical. He wore suit of com,
mon material, and representatives
Goo Kim and Wong Kwai's Hashy
garments put him i'll the shade. The
local Chinese spent $500 for lay
out for the ex-Minister at the Club
house, but he did not come. awe

nent Flowery Kingdom lad thi
