REED AND HIS HYpERcRIrIcIsM.

The caustic pen OF Gear Reed does not
figure to its usual advantage in his in
introduction to the minority report OF
the ways and means committee on the
tariff. He affects to be sarcastic on the
departure OF the Democratic majority
from the strict letter of the Chicago
platform as to the tariff. The sufficient
answer to that is that, within limits, OF
course, such departure showed excel
lent sense on the part of Mr.. Wilson
and hie associates. The tariff plank, as
it passed the convention, did not repre-
sent the average sense OF that body by
any means. 1t was radically different
from the platform as formulated by
Colonel Jones. the editor OF the st.
Louis Republic. and the majority of the
committee. 1t was forced on the party
through Henry Watterson, and by
mischevoue coup de theatre. and any
common sense notifications that NAV
be made of it, without sacrificing
the equare Democratic demand for
tariff revision, reduction and reform,
and that instanter, will be gratefully
received by Democrats who are by no
means so radical as Mr.. Watterson. We
do not 60 to the extent OF looking upon
political platforms as so much molasses
spread out to catch flies, but they have
become bonn bastic and redundant piecee
of verbiage. for the most part. II MIR.
Reed would look ovsr the first platform
OF his own party, as formulated in the
first National Republican convention
that met at Pittsburg, away back in the
fifties, even he would be astonished at
the degree in which profession may be
made to differ from practice. The Re-
publican party stole the name, and
affected to adopt as their creed the prin-
ciples OF Jefferson, and it was not in power
year before it showed the most slavish
devotion to the peculiar ideas OF Alexan-
der Hamilton. The hand was the hand
of Esau, but the voice was the voice OF
Jacob From that time to the present
day the Republican party has been try
ing to show how far it could get away
from the original platform and princi-
Piles. In fact, go absolutely does it dis
regard any pledges after they have
served their purposes that we have
every reason to believe that that party
is positively fond of regeneration for its
own sake, and that it looks upon lying
as being, like honesty, its own reward.
OF course these last remarks are not in
tended to have any personal application.
They are made principally for Br'er
Reeds benefit.

| Were it sought to take the slightest
advantage of creditor OF the govern
ment, a howl would go up that would
split the welkin. But the people may
be etood up and robbed with impunity-
robbed by change in the original con-
tract that doubles their obligations, and
nobody eeems to care a baubee. After
discussing the bond question, Mr.. Car
Isle next addresses himself to the money
supply, which he finds superabundant.
He Gays the great increase in the bank
reserves in the monetary centers OF the
country shows conclusively that the
amount OF money in circulation is
greater than required for the transaction
OF business. 1t requires but very
slight examination of this question to
show that Mr.. Carlisle is treating the
matter very superficially. There was

some thing that could be reported OF
any country, Ii is sign OF congestion,
not of health. 1t shows very plainly
that our institutions are stagnant and
that enterprise is paralyzed. Mr.. Car
Isle in this portion OF his report takes
no account of the innumeraDle COM
munities, away from the Atlantic eea-
board, and from few cities along the
fronts OF our lakes, in which money is
not only not plethoric but as scarce as
hens teeth. There are thousands
and thousands OF places in the
interior of the country, and in
the south, southwest and northwest
where dollar now looks rs large as q
cart wheel, and where the small farmers
and business men are being extirpated
through lack of q sufficient circulating
medium, which would have been easily
and constitutionally assured them by
the reconciliation OF silver. Instead Of
the inspiri.ing programme which thus
legitimately expanded circulating me-
dunn would have ensured we are treated
to discredited silver and congested money
bags in the vaults of the New York,
Boston and Chicago banks. Surely, a
poor exchange.

THE BARBER BEATEN.
N. Ne1ledorff Attacked and Beaten by Q
Trio.

N. Nelledorff Attacked and Beaten by q
Trio.
An exciting row took place Thursday
evening in the barber shop OF N. Nelie-
dotf at 400 South Spring street, and
when the smoke of the battle cleared
away Mr.. Nelledoff found that he had
an unusually large and very sore lip.
The evening before, according to his
story, Florence Mcdonald. young
woman who formerly conducted res
taurant near Sixth and Spring streets,
visited his barber shop and demanded
that he pay board bill. He refused,
saying that he did not owe her anything,
but would see her about it out of busi-
hess hours. After making numerous
threats she left.
Thursday evening shs returned, and
with her came two stalwart men, one
of whom proved himself fighter.
Nelledof was sitting in rear room
when the two entered.
Miss Mcdonald rushed in and de-
manded the amount she alleged wac due
her. Nelledoff asked her, "What
bill ?" One OF the men Immediately
hauled off and struck the barber in the
mouth, raising the lip like unto light
bread dough on an August morning.
The blow knocked Nelledof down.
The trio then left.
Nelledof says that he used to eat at
Miss McDonald's restaurant, but when
she began to show a fondness for him
he stopped, as, he said, 81 didn't want
to get married" That was three months
ago.
He claims that he was constantly an
noyed by her after that. He said she
would send him flowers as we'll as let
terra. to which he paid no attention.
Finally this sort of thing changed, and
instead of flowers and billetdoux che
sent him plain, everyday bills. The
first one called for SIP. Finally col
lector brought him another saying Nelle-
dof owed her $16.
AS the amount was increasing with
startling rapidity Nelledoff became un-
easy and consulted his friends. They
told him to not notice the woman. The
result was that he was beaten.
A warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of the trio.

SHE DON'T LIKE HOLCOMB
MRS. HYLAND'S CHARGES AGAINST
A DIVORCE LAWYER.
The Matter of DIsbarment Proceedings.
Some Sensational Allegations
Made in the Petition
Filed.

The matter of the disbarment OF At
torney W. w. Holcomb was ordered
transferred by Judge Mckinley yestsr-
day to department five.
Judge Shaw set the case for hearing
on December Goth.
Mrs. M. B. Hylsnd is the petitioner,
and she makes highly sensational
proceeding out of the allegations. Mrs.
Hyland AYERS that on or about March
20, 1883, HolcoEab filed q complaint in
court in favor OF J. Franklin Ramp
against his wife, Loretta Ramp. That
On the 2lst OF March, 1888. he promised
his wife, Mrs. +. Holcomb, would 10 to
the Westminster hotel in this city for
the purpose of registering as defendant
in the above action, Loretta Ramp, 80
that he might procure q service of Gum
mons upon Mrs. Holcomb, who wss 10
personate and represent Mrs. Ramp.
That Mrs. Holcomb did go to that
hotel on the day and date above given
and register as Loretta Ramp, and Hol-
comb procured some one to serve the
summons upon her.
She further charges that on March IS,
1892, she employed Holcomb as her at
torney to defend an action for her In a
divorce suit then pending. That Hol-
comb executed and delivered to her a
written statement to the effect that he
would prosecute tho suit for her free OF
chsrga, but afterwards falsely pretended
and stated that one Mrs. Emma Holcomb
was going to be witness against her,
and that it would be necessary to en-
ploy w. T. Williams, who would be able
to manage the witness, and that Will
liams would have to have come money,
but that fact must be kept from the
knowledge of this court.
Holcomb, she allegee, instructed her
to bring the money in her pocketbook 70
the Office of Williams and lay the pock-
etbook down on Williams' desk with the
money in it, which was done May l,
1892. That Holcomb thereupon took
from her pocketbook 500 and handed it
to Williams. promising that he would
get attorneys fees sllowed by the court
to this petition, and would then return
the sum OF $50 to her. Holcomb, sbe
alleges, collected the money but never
paid her cent OF it nor repaid her the
sum of $50.
Other and fully as serious charges are
made in Mrs. .Hyland's complaint, which
is quite lengthy.

The San Francisco Chronicle under
takes to dig up an ingenious reason for
the appointment of Wayne MacVeagh
as minister to Italy, and thinks it finds
the required solution in the theory that
our respected president is anxious to
recover the favor of the Mugwumps.
This, in our opinion, is entirely too far
fetched. Mr.. Cleveland was probably
mad, and he thought that was pretty
good way to make some Democrats to
whom he is not specially partial
madder than he is nimself. 1t is
not impossible that he may have
had an oblique eye on Senator David
Bennett Hill, who is a persona non grota
at the White House. In spiting Hill he
has the consolation OF knowing that he
has also disgnsted myriads of other
Democrats. Sensible Americans in num-
bers ardently desire to see the day
when all these kickshaw ambassador
ships shall be abolished and the busi
ness OF the government transacted by
plain consular agents.
