Charges Against Postmaster Cowden.
The Register has a Washington dis
patch in which it is said that charges
wera filed against Postmaster Cowden
Of this city in order to secure his re-
moyal. According to the Registers dis
patch "these charges were that Mr..
Cowden tempered with the mail OF
prominent Democrats, abstracting let
tiers and giving their contents to Re-
publican newspapers to print as cam
paign material"
In other words, Mr. Cowdcn is
charged with felony. Ii guilty and
his guilt can be established, the peni-
Tertiary starea him in the face. There
is not mau who knows Mr.. Cowden
who can be made to believe that no
could be guilty OF such an infamy. II
the charge has been made the person or
persons making it know they were tes-
tifyiug to a lie. Ii Mr.. Cowden has any
spirit he will nail this lie and the liars.
When Postmaster Stirling was re-
moved on charges in tho first Cleveland
term to make way for Democrat, he
was not permitted to see the charges or
to know from the poatoflice department
who made them, but it waa not much
trouble 10 ascertain elsewhere what
they set forth aud who got them up.
This is scurvy business. convicting a

OF the people. 1. 10 very low grade OF

INDlANAPoLIs IND, Dec. in an in.
terview to-day civil service reformer
Lucius &. Swift said: "The facts in the
Van Allen case are not in any manner
changed. 1t will always be trpe that
his sole distinction was in being n so
ciety man, moving in limited circle,
and that ordinarily the President would
never have heard OF him, 10 say nothing
OF making him an American alnbassa-
dor. Van Aliens denial does not make
it any the less true that he received the
Office solely because Whitney got 1t for
him for having made large contribu-
ton TO the Democratic campaign fund.
ut is one OF the healthiest signs that
public opinion made stand against
this gross misuse OF public trust. Van
Allen doubtless keenly realized that ut
the Italian court and in the streets OF
Rome he would feel that no was always
being pointed out as the man who
bought his place with money con-
tribution to n party committee"

his instructions to Minister Willis.

The Conspiracy Continues.

Manufacturers were said to have
closed their establishments in order TO
Influence this years elections against
the Democratic party Democratic
manufacturers joined with Republican
manufacturers in the remarkable con-
spiracy.
Now it is said that the manufacturers
are announcing reductions in wages to
influence votes against tho Wilson tariff
bill. Tho conspiracy between Demo-
cratic and Republican manufacturers
continues.
1t is to be presumed that the cut in
wages is to induce Republicans in Con-
gresI to vote against tho Wilson bill.
II must be so, for Democratic statesmen
are not susceptible to these wage-mak-
ing and wage-uumaking influences.
They draw their inspiration straight
from the Chicago platform, which en-
bodies the theory OF the British free
trade text books.
II this presentation of peculiar case
lack anything in clearness, any free
trader will take pleasure in clearing it
up.

words, the tariff system which built UP
the country and gave every man a

But this will knock the revenues
about S6OOOO.OoO year, and there must
be something in the way OF compensa-
ton. The income tax, being British,
comes in to do its part. Everybody's

Some of them are buying homes

give them a chance to live and to hold
