Tariff Reform Burlesque.

There has come to the REFLECToR's
desk a copy of the new Democratic
tariff bill as it appears in Its present
condition with the senate changes
clearly indicated. 1t is safe to say
that its own author would not
recognize it. The Democracy is max
ing a sorry farce Of its tariff reform
and seems entirely unable to form q
sensible opinion Of how to go about
the object to which it pledged itself
in convention. The history Of this
tariff comedy has been very interest
ing to the audience. When it started
the audience was graciously invited
to come forward and state what par
ticular sort Of reform was desired by
any of its members. This was I'M
fortunate, for, with the exception Of
delegation from a British colony
who explained that such'a reform as
would admit Bermuda potato salad
free Of duty was much to be desired,
and the appearance Of a few import
ers who sought advantages for
European manufacturers, the dele
cations from the audience showed
conclusively that they wished for no
reform at all, or at least for no such
reform as would mean bankruptcy to
the nation and poverty and starva-
ton to its citizens. The actors also
had scattered broadcast a million cir
culars asking for written information
upon the question Of how to recast
the tariff. 1t became necessary to
suppress the replies, as they were
offensive" and, by disturbing the
nerves Of the actors, interfered with
the play.
At last, after a frighttul amount of
ranting and innumerable
scrimmages upon the stage, one re-
lay Of performers completed its part,
and the star comedian Of that group
was removed to Mexico upon a shut
ter that he might regain vitality.
And the the audience wonders why SO
much perspiration and straining
should be needed to produce such a
shabby piece Of work. The tariff
was reformed beyond question, but
The result was q hideous monstrosity.
Il meant ruin to the industries Of the
he country and relegated the people
II this land to the role Of market
gardeners for the nations Of Europe.
It's only recommendation was that 1t
prevented what the author
II the piece had so often warned the
american people against--asurplus in
he national treasury. With this bill
made law there would be no money
ither in the national pocket or with
n reach Of many individuals.
In such shape it passed into the
lands Of the second relay Of actors. '
,y them it has been beaten and
latcheled, darned and patched out Of i.

Lswelling Won't Investigate.

t.
On May 81, 1894, John W. Yarroll,
late chief clerk Of Warden Chase Of
the State penitentiary, filed charges
with Governor Lewelling against Mr..
Chase as warden Of the penitentiary,
accusing him with gross neglect Of
duty and and misconduct in Office.
They were detailed in every partic-
ular and there was no escaping the
directness Of specification. Mr.. A. M.
Bum, mine inspector, supplemented
them with other not less direct
charges Of misconduct against Warden
Chase.
The statute provides that when
charges are made against the warden
or any other officer Of the penitentiary
that the governor, lieutenant COVER
nor and speaker Of the house shall
select q committee Of five members Of
the legislature, three from the house
and two from senate, who shall inves-
tigate the charges. The statute also
provides how the investigation shall
be conducted. The statute making
such provision may be found in the
general statutes Of 1889, TT 1868,
1869 and 1860.
The charges have been made in the
regular and authorized way against
the warden Of the State penitentiary. !
At the time Of the Populist State
convention, many Of the delegates
were demanding an investigation and
a resolution was prepared asking that
the investigation be made. The gov
ernor promised that the investigation
should be made and said that q reso-
luton was unnecessary, SO the reso-
luton was dropped. On the oath Of
June, Mr.. Lewelling in a public inter-
view said the charges were worthy Of
investigation and that such an inves-
tigation would be made; but instead
Of ordering the investigation as the
law requires, he referred it to the
penitentiary board--a board Of his
own creation and which has no power
to act. And this was done in the face
Of the fact that the parties making
the charge claim that the board Is an
accomplish in the corruption and mis-
management. But, Notwithstanding
this, the governor insists that the
board shall conduct the investigation,
and the 9sd of INV 1904 ia tbo data
set for said Investigation.
The statute MAINLY states that

tatlves OF the State shall meet at such

Lieutenant Governor Herried, of

Great problems in social and poll

the great conflict of the age is upon
us.
''Econolnic conditions which during
times of bountious prosperity, grind
out millionaires and paupers with
such fearful alacrity, must and will

fuIj people. Abject poverty means
degradation, and Il degraded people
can never remain a free people.

crime, disregard for all law, human
and divine.
