SECRETARY MORTON.

The rumor DOW comes from Washington
that Secretary Morton is to be offered as a
sacrifice to appease the enraged producers
OF raw material who find everything they
have to sell on the free list and pretty
much everything they buy on the protected
list. But this sacrifice will not avail.
Morton is not the Committee on Ways and
Means, nor is he in position TO dictate to
that committee. BE Is a free-trader on
general principles and has done his
part toward creating the delusion among
farmers that the tariff did them no good.
but Morton is no worse than other men,
bers of the Cabinet In that respect. 1t
appears that absolute free trade Is to be
approached as Mcclellan would approach,
first, by series Of bitches. The first is
dug some distance from the citadel.
Tnis affords shelter under the cover
OF which second ditch is dug nearer to
the main fortress. The free-traders. not

NATIONAL AND STATE CURRENCY

II is hardly worth while at present to
discuss a. length the consequences which
must result from a repeal of the tax on
State banks currency. The Stockton
Independent draws a very clear line be-
tween the two kinds of currency in the
following:
The chief difference between the proposed
law and the present national banking law is
that the latter prescribes Que kind OF security
for bill-hold ers, and the proposed law pre-
scribes all kinds of State and municipal bonds,
and places IL IN The power OF one man TO accept
or reject bonds profiered as such security.
This provision alone is a very dangerous one.
II leaves bi-holders entirely at the mercy of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and leaves
him under temptation that might result in bis
corruption by those who might desire to 90
banking business on basis OF doubtful securi-
ties, which are always cheap.
1t would be the rankest kind Of financial
and political madness to intrust such
power to an individual. If the Comp
troller of the Currency were both honest
and wise he would be continually subject
to suspicion. He would in the nature of
thugs have to reject bonds but little in
ferior in his judgment to bonds he had
accepted. The fact of acceptance or re-
lection would greatly affect the credit of a
State. county or municipality. Corpora
tiOns would be tempted to make more
favorable showing than their business
wo uld warrant for the Endorsement of the
Comptroller of the Currency. No man
who had much regard for his reputation
would accept such an Office. An official
may demonstrate that he has not taken
anything, but be cannot we'll prove that a
choice between two bond issues of nearly
the same character was not In some way
improperly Influenced.

TRUE TARIFF REFORM.

The San Jose Record. without compro-
missing in any degree the principle OF pro-
lection. whispers softly in the ears of pro-
tectionists that there are many articles of
commerce which do not need so high a
tariff as is at present imposed on them.
THE CALL has already indicated articles
upon which the present duties are excess
sive. 1t is not always possible in one year
to tell precisely what rate of duty will be
sufficient two or three years hence. A re-
duction of duties on articles upon which
experience demonstrates the present duties
to be excessive is as much the duty OF pro-

At meeting of the Fire Committee OF the

THE RAILROAD WON.
Mrs. Raphael Fails to Convince a
Jury of Her Injuries.

A jury in Judge SaDderson's court decided in
favor OF the defendant in The suit Of Raphael
VS.. The Central Railroad Company, after nine
hours deberatlon, yesterday. The case was
one for damages for personal injuries received.
Mrs. Flora Raphael, wife Of Isidor Raphael
and plaintiff in the suit. asserted that on May
z, 1891. she was riding along Turk street upon
a horsecar belonging 10 the defendant COM
pany, when the car came derailed and Mrs.
Raphael sustained severe Injuries TO the legs
and spine. Hence suit against the cOmpa ny
to recover $1,000.
Against this claim, and a vast amount of les
timoDy. the defense put In evidence which put
matters in different light. The company de.
clared hat II was case of backmail, that
Mrs. Raphael was not hurt at all, and tha' her
alleged occupation whereby she earns $50 a
month was myth, as she had bren known to

testified that he met MRS. Raphael coming from

a convenient distance from the house her limp
disappeared aud she handed to her husband a

crowd the other day "There was
man in Southern Illinois," said
he, "who invented salye which he
claimed was just the thing for cuts.
If you cut your finger off, apply the
salve and the finger would soon
grow out to its normal length. One
of the residents of the town was
skeptical, so he thought he would
try it on his dogs tail. He cut off
tho tail and applied the salve, when
almost spontaneously it commenced
growing, and in a few minutes was
as long as ever. In the meantime
his little boy had picked up the end
of the tail and put on some salve.
and both the boy and man were
very much surprised to sec full
sized dog grow out from the end of
the tail. The father and his boy
are now dead"

The poles have all been planted
from Oakland to Eglon, Brookside,
Aurora, Carmel and Terra Alta.
Seven thousand pounds of wire will
be used and is now being pnt up,
and it will be but a question of u
very few weeks ere the line is ready
for use. The entire distance to be
covered by this 1000 lbs. wire is rs
miles. All tho stock has been Sc
cured and paid for, and this com.
pany propose, il enough additional
stock is subscribed, to extend the
line to Kingwood, where it will
connect with the st. George
and Rowlesburg Telephone line
and place us within speaking dis
lance, as it were, with Parsons,
Tucker county, on the w. Va. @.
II. r. This line Is matter of vast
Importance to Kingwood as we'll as
all the other towns named above.
A branch line is also to be run to
Corinth, Huttons and Sunshine. 1t
is is estimated that 800 will cover
the expense of erecting the above,
which is very nominal when we
take into consideration the adyan-
tages to be derived therefrom.
1t is also the intention of the
company to run line from Oak
land down through Garrett county
to Grantsville and FriendsviIle,
and II this is done it will eventuate
in connecting with Pittsburg line.
The company charter permits the
extension of this line over all the
above territory.
The box at this end of the line
will be placed in the office of the
Terra Alta Hotel.

The Journals editorial last week
(taken from the Parkersburg Jour.
nal without credit) on the low price
Of wool, Is the old cry of "stop
thief" and trying to divert atten.
sion from the fact that it is all un.
der the Mckinley Bill, and will b
for some time yet. 1t is simply
history repeating itself. The Nc.
Kinley Bill increased the tariff on
wool and WOODEN goods and the
price Of wool goes down, and the
Republican papers are trying to lay
it on the Democratic Administra-
tion by claiming that the people are
uncertain about what It will do, but
the people didn't look at it that
way last fall. 1t 10 no use theorlz-
ing, brethren, for it is a condition
