Two of Them.

Two Journals OF Rochester. the Union and
Advertiser, Democratic. and the Herald, In
dependent with Republican leaning. agree
In contending that THE Sun errs when
1t describes the future tariff. which the
Democracy has promised. rs having every
trace OF protection eliminated. while yet q
revenue duty will be imposed upon all arti-
Giles imported. This amounts, as they con-
tend. to protection. THE Suns revenue
| tariff" says the Herald may not be pro-
| tective in its purpose. but 1t will be protec-
| tive in its effects" In the Same way. the
| Union and Advertiser maintains that lit Is
| impossible to place tariff upon foreign
| products which come in competition with
| home products. without making such tariff
| incidentally or consequentially protective"
These propositions arc as old as any part
OF this controversy. and everybody who
| retains his senses knows that. while n
duty upon imports may not be protective
in it's purpose. it may be. to some extent.
protective in its effect. But the purpose is
the whole essence Of the question; the
effect Is subsidiary and utterly in
significant In comparison. AS the Chi
cago platform expresses 1t, 1.-THE Fed
eral Government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff duties
except for the purpose Of revenue only"
II protection ia eliminated from the pur-
pose OF the tariff. that Is to say, from the
purpose Of the Congress which enacts 1t
and the President who approves it; II
revenue Is the only object held in view in
the enactment and the approval. then we
say the platform is fully realized. and the
promise and pledge to the country are
honestly kept. II. under the working of this
tariff. it should turn out that an Ameri-
can manufacturer has an advantage over
his foreign competitor. which is due entirely
to natural causes and not to any artificial
advantage conferred by duties designed to
be protective. it is revenue legislation. and
not protective legislation.
1t is also maintained by some Of these
blind leaders Of the blind that the Chicago
platform favors the free admission of raw
materials; but whatsoever reads the platform
attentively, will see that it Is not 80. In de-
nouncing the MCKINLEY tariff the platform
says simply endorse the efforts made
by the Democrats Of the Congress Of 1892
to modify it's most oppressive features in the
direction OF free raw materials" This Is
merely praise for an attempt to change the
schedules Of the MCKINLEY tariff. not a
promise that when the revenue tariff comes
to be made. the free admission Of raw ma
terials shall be one Of its features. That
would be Standardization which cannot
be charged upon the authors OF the plat
form. or upon the Convention which made 1t
the standard and guide Of the Democracy.
Finally we advise our friends OF the press
to study the platform earnestly and care
fully. and to join with US in securing its
sincere and unqualified enforcement in the
new law which the Fifty-third Congress will
presently be called upon to enact.

mended that the next convention be
arranged for by the international COM
mittee, and that it be located east of
Ohio. James GarVie, q Sioux Indian,
spoke Of the hopeful work of the assOci-
alton among his people, and stated that
there were twenty Indian associations.
Written reports of the sectional con-
ferenceS held yesterday afternoon were
presented, each one being limited to
four minutes. One Of the most inter-
esting papers of the conference was
then presented by f. l.. Shury, of Day
ton, o., on THE Educational Work of
the Association" Frederick B. Pratt,

WANTS HIS OFFICE.
The Civil Service Commission
Called Into Court.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Letter Car
rier George T. Pulaski, who was ousted
from his position on the city poStoffice
force by technicality of the civil serv-
ice commission rules, will make that
body account for its action to the court.
Judge Bradley issued an order yeSter-
day morning directing the commission
and Postmaster Sherwood to show cause
why MI. Pulaski should not be reins!! :. tevi; tteevi
The civil commissioners, MeSSrS.
Lyman, Roosevelt, Johnson, and Post
master Sherwood, are to appear before
Judge Bradley Saturday, May 20. If
Mr.. Pulaski is successful mandamuS
will Oe signed, compelling these officials
to reinstate him. The legal points in
volyed are interesting ones, which may
be carried up to the supreme court of
the United States. Red tape is inter-
woven with the whole affair, aud its
power to deprive man of his rights is
beautifully illustrated.
Postmaster Sherwood neglected to re-
port the appointment of Pulaski to the
civil service commission within three
days, as required by the rules of that
body. Consequently the commission
takes the stand that the letter carrier
cannot hold the place, although he has
passed the examination, filed his bond
for the faithful performance of his duty,
and fulfilled every requirement of the
law. Hrs attorney takes the position
that a rule which may act to deprive a
citizen of his rights must be null. and
that this particular regulation is un-
reasonable in itself. The act of con :
gress, under which the carrier was ap-
pointed, provides that he shall be given
the position after satisfying certain re-
mission to prescribe some details of the
transaction, but does not empower
them, Mr.. Pulaski'S attorney told the
commission. to concoct rules which de-
feat the intention of this act.

ried to pretty girl who has sufficient
faith in him to await the day of his free
dom, but that is just what occurred here
this afternoon. County Attorney Tear,
of st. Louis county, and Judge Martin, or
West Duluth, came here today, land Judge
Martin decided not to ask for a new
trial for Frank Houck, convicted OF
manslaughter in the first degree. Con-
Bequently he was brought into the court
room for sentence, and Judge WilliSton
gave him seven years in the state prison
at hard labor for the killing Of John
Murphy in the 'White 'front.' saloon
in West Duluth last September.
Shortly after Frank Houck was sem
fenced Judge Lehmicke, of the probate
court was called into the sheriff'S office,
where Houck and Miss Mary Kasmiskl,
of West Duluth, were married. MISS
Kasmiski is the young lady who stood
faithfully by Houck from the time of
the shooting, and who did everything in
her power to save her lover from q
prison cell. After the trial and SEN

acted in self-defense, and her devotion
to him w4s not shaken in the least

Raum's "Filed" Order Re-
Voked by the New PEN
sion Commissioner.
Number Of Original Cases
Passed Will Be Greatly
Reduced.
Fourteen Of the DreWry Cases
Found to Be Fraud
ulent.
One Act Of the Civil Service
Commissioners Taken
Into Court.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-An important
order revoking the celebrated "fiIed"
order of eX-CommiSsiou of Pensions
Raum has been issued by Commissioner
all pension claims in each class will be
taken up for consideration in the order
in Which the considered evidence is
filed, the object aimed at being a prac-
tical return to the method in vogue
prior to 1889. Whenever any evidence
shall be received in any case, such evil
dence shall be strapped to the case, and
the file card will be at once placed at
the top Of the file box of the examiner
in whose charge the case may be.
Whenel er any examiner shall have dis
posed of all the cases on his desk, addi-
tional cases presented by the file cards
at the bottom of such examiners file
box shall be placed on his desk for con-
sideration and action; and the proper
call for evidence shall be made, or pend
ing inquiries answered, or the case, if
found to be complete, shall at once be
submitted to the board of review for
final adjudication.
Checking Pension Growth.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration check is going to be
given to the rapid growth of the pen
sion list even without the assistance of
any legislation. When the pension ap-
of loC of
session of congress it was expected that
the amount appropriated would be about
$4,000, 600 short of the expenditures for
this fiscal year. 1t was anticipated that
deficiency of that amount would have
to be provided for at the coming session.
The average number of original pen
sion cases passed on each month is eX-
pected, however, to be but about one
third what it was under the former
administration of the office, and that
instead OF deficiency, there will be a
surplus of about S6.000,OOO.
1t was stated today at the pension Of
flee that up to last Thursday the pen
sion examiners now i'll Norfolk, Va, in
bestigating the papers filed by Charles
DreWey and others had completed four
teen cases, all of which had been found
irregular or fraudulent. The pension
officers are searching the files for the
claims by Drewey which have been al
lowed, and so far 116 have been found
and forwarded to the examiners at Nor
folk. No computation of the amounts
paid on these claims has been made.
but as all of them were filed under the
act of June 81, 1891, which allows S12
per month as the maximum rate, it is
probable that the average will fall be-
low $500 each. Mr.. DreWey is now serv-
ing a term in Jail for fraudulent trans
actions in pension cases.

LEGISLATIVE FORECAST.
Congressional Policy Is Given Out
by Washington Paper.

Congressional Policy Is Given Out
by a Washington Paper.
WASHINGTON, May Is. - The Star
says: The Democratic leaders in con-
gress and the administration are trying
to come to an understanding as to the
policy of the next congress by which
they can avoid the danger of split in
the party on the money question, and
secure united action Oh several impor-
tant questions which will present them
selves. 1t is believed by those who have
been most active in the matter that an
agreement will be reached Cd the much
dreaded money question. In fact, the
programme of the congress has been laid
out with considerable detail, and great
hopes are entertained that the admins
tration and congress will dwell together
i'll harmony. 1t is the present under
standing that compromise proposition
to dispose Of the silver question by ac-
cOmpanying the repeal OF the Sherman
law with the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax Oh state bank currency will receive
the sanction of the administration, and
that the men in congress who are fight
ing against any contraction OF
the currency Will be satisfied
to let go of silver if they
can get the state currency. 1t is de-
signed also to levy an income tax, and
it is believed tina Mr.. Cleveland will
favor this. Briefly, there are four things
which it is the desire OF the party lead
ers that the coming congress should dis
pose of as speedily as possible. and it is
believed that Mr.. Cleveland will dwell
upon all of them in his first message.
They are the repeal of the federal cleo
ton laws. the levy of an income tax, the
repeal of the Sherman law and of the
tax Oh state bank currency, and COM
plete revision of the tariff, making a
very decided reduction of duties all
along the line.

SYSTEM OF AWARDS.
Foreigners Protest Against the
Expert Judges.

CHICAGO, May 13.-After an hours
recess the commission entered into an
other discussion of the awards system
question. Several commissioners took
exceptions to the appoi ntments of
Judges already made by the committee
on awards and the director general. Six
or eight of such have already been con-
firmed by the commission. The trouble
was aggravated by the reading Of a
communication from the director gen
eral, accompanied by protest
against the expert judge system
from the. commissioners general of
Norway and Spain. The Russian, Bel
gian. French, German and British COM
missioners have already entered their
protests against the system adopted by
the commission, and the sentiment
seems 10 be strongly in favor of making
concession to the foreign commissioners.
The system of graduating awards is
more acceptable to the foreign exhibit
ors. A resolution was passed instruct
ing the judiciary committee to report
an amendment to the system which
would have the effect of giving the di-
rector general no voice in the nomina-
ton of judges. The commission then
took a recess until Monday next at
