CUsrOM.HOUsE FRAUDS.

1t has leaked out at Washington that
irregularities, involving millions Of dol
lars, have been discovered in the New
| York s~ustom-house. 1t lie said that re-
funds have been made on tobacco, trim
mings and other imported articles and
negligence bordering on criminality 10
charged against the officials.
The period covered by the alleged
fraudulent refunds extends from 1888 to
the present time. The frauds were dis.
covered by q special agent Of the Treas.
ury Department, but the matter, so far,
has been kept from the public and OFF,
cisls are very r~eticent regarding it.
A few years ago the discovery was
made by a bale Of imported goods fall
ing off o truck and breaking open in the
San Francisco custom.house that the
Government was being d~efrauded out OF
large sums Of money. Custom.houss
officials. sworn and paid to protect the
interests Of the public, conspired with
importers to defraud the revenue. Ger
tain packages of goods Of inferior quail
ity were marked for inspection and valu.
ation. While the greater part Of the in.
voice consisted of much higher priced
goods ell were appraised at the value OF
the inferior article and the importer
shared the profits with the officials. The
importer was permitted to square &C.
counts with the Government for q small
percentage Of what it had been defrauded
out of, and the officials left the country
for q season.
1t has been alleged that similar frauds
are being nernetrated at other cnstom.
houses throughout the country and at
times, when the frauds cannot be kept
from the public, there is a p~retense Of q
trial, but no one is convicted. One Of
these cases is now being tried at Port

Earache is often a result Of cold.

A few weeks ago New York journals
were assuring the benighted country re-
gions that the only bar to prosperity was
the silver.purchssing clause Of the sher.
man Act. Congress put in force the
edict that New York had issued. But
the repeal Of the Act does not seem to
have worked the change that was ex-
peeted. There are ST, 937. 600 Of idle
money now in the banks Of New York.

Secretary Carlisle puts himself on rec
ord as fsvoring an income tar. In his

Mr.. CsrIisle's apologies for this rec

merit Of being Imposed upon that part
Of the citizens income which is not
earned by his labor or skill, but

THE VIEW PARTY.

This talk about abandoning the Peo-
pies party for a new one is the hight OF
folly. Just as fusion leads to confusion,
go reorganization on this plan means dis.
organization. Nothing would please
"Wall street better than for q faction
Of our party to split up and organize .
new one. The ''money trust" would
hail aud aid such a movement with Joy,
because ID knows that nothing will de-
stroy a party quicker than to have it di-
vided into hostile factions. If the
Omaha platform is not right then all we
have to do is to make it so.
The power which created that plat
form can also amend ID. But no individ.
ual, no committee or faction has a right
to strike out one word. The authority
for q revision must be derived from the
consent Of those who voted our ticket
last year. The national committee rep
reseuts the million men who stood by
OUT principles in 1892, and | believe that
l voice the sentiment Of this committee
when l say that we will not disregard
their wishes, barter away their organiza.
tion or permit any faction or clique to
trample sheir rights under foot. l agree
with Governor Waite Of Colorado, who
said 'that our platform is neither in
spired nor infallible," and l also believe
that q revision to q certain extent is nee
essary. but let this revision come through
it's legitimate channel-the people who
voted our ticket.
Ia my opinion the money question is
the greatest issue Of the age and ought
to be settled first. Others say the silver
question is the most important. Others
say the transportation question is the
greatest Of all. In order to determine
which one Of these great questions is to
become the only plank in our platform
we must call a preliminary national con-
v~ention to revise it. This Is the only
legitimate way out. II a revision Of our
platform is necessary, then we can do no
better than to plant our banner squsrely
on Jeffersonian Democracy and Lincoln
Republicanism. This is common ground
upon which all can stand.

HOW RI LIVE A CENTURY.

First, live as much as possible out OF
doors, never letting q day pass without
spending at least three or four hours in
the open air, says the Medical Age.
Second, keep all the powers of mind
and body occupied in congenial work.
The muscles should be developed and the
mind kept active.
Third, avoid excuses Of all kinds,
whether Of food. drink, or whatever ma
ture they may be. Be moderate in all
things.
Fourth, never despair. Be cheerful at
all times. Never give way to anger.
Never let the trials Of one day pass over
to the next.
The period from so 10 IS should not be
passed in idleness or abandonment Of all
work. Here is where . great many men
tall. Ihey resigu al care VI interest IN
worldly affairs. and rest of body and
mind begins. They throw up their bust.
ness and retire to private life, which in
too many cases proves to be a suicidal
policy.
During the next period-the period
from rs to 100 years, while the powers
of life are at their lowest ebb-one can
not be too careful about catching cold.
Bronchitis is q most prolific cause OF
death in the aged. During this last
period rest should be in abundance.
Anybody who can follow these direc-
tions ought to live to be 100 years old al
least. There is always this comfort,
however-if we cannot live up to our
ideas always, we can at least try our bes,
to do so, and the steady effort will BE-
bringing US constantly nearer them.
