THE CORWIN'S NEWS IN CIPHER.


Promptly Wired to Washington and All
Information for the Public Curtiy Re-
fnsed--The Queens Status in Doubt.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 5.-The reve-
nue. cutter Corwin, which was due last
Saturday, arrived at the entrance of the
harbor about IL o'clock this morning
She did not enter, but lay to off Fort Point
long enoHgh to send boat to shore with
dispatches. and then sailed in and an
chored off Sausalito whence she after
wards proceeded to Mare Island. A United
Press reporter in n boat met the cutter off
the fort and endeavored to board her, but
was repulsed. His inquiries as TO how
things were going at Honolulu were un-
answered. All hands had evidently received
strlctest injunctions as to silence on that
point. and no intelligence could be got out
Of anybody. Only Il hint OF news at first
was given by one Of the crew, who said,
over the side to the reporter:
lulu"
Afterward, in answer to q question, Cap
tain Munger yelled back ''The Queen had
not been put back on the throne when we
left, but she may be there now all the
same" After putting an officer with dis.
patches for Washington ashore the Cor
win steamed over to Sausalito. She lay
there for one hour, and while there the
revenue cutter Hartley went over to her,
after which the Corwin again got under
way and went to the Mare Island navy
yard. From the appearance Of the steamer
she must have been pressed during the
run, and the chances are that it is not
more than 10 days since she left Honolulu
Her starboard coal bunkers were appar-
emily empty, as she had decided fist to
port. At the navy yard the cutter will 20
out of commission and be returned to the
custom house authorities.
The Mohican is at Mare Island, fully
equipped and provisionod. If more as
sistance is required at Honolulu she can
be got ready and dispatched in an hour.
DISPATCHES IN CIPHER.
WAsHtNGToN, Jan.5.-Secretary Gresham
received his first intimation from United
Press bulletin of the arrival of the Corwin
at San Francisco. Whatever dispatches
the Corwin has landed for the State De-
partment. they are unquestionably in
naval cipher. 1t will take Judging by
past experience) many hours 10 fully I'M
ravel their contents.
Some hint of their purport, however, has
undoubtedly reached Secretary Gresham,
for he stated. late this afternoon, to a
United Press reporter, that he was quite
confident there would be nothing in the
Corwin's dispatches which he would give
out for publication tonight.
Secretary Gresham, when asked about
the dispatches via Auckland asserting that
Minister Willis had made demand on
the Provisional government to abdicate.
declined to speak for publication, but
plainly discredited the report.

JOHN l.. KNooKED OUT.
This Time His Wife Did the Act, Using
an Indian Club.

Hh AhNihu Iiups
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 9.-John L.
Sullivan has been knocked out again.
This time it is not a rival pugilist. His
wife did the job. 1t all occurred early
Sunday morning. The champion was
laid out so clean and cold that 1t took /.
doctor whole hour to bring him to.
1t seems that after the show was over
at the Court Street Theatre Saturday
night John L. proceeded to have a
good time" John kept up the gait
until nearly o'clock, when he took a
cab to the Tiff House. 1t was all he
could do to reach his room with the
assistance of hotel porter.
Soon after a great racket was heard
and Sullivan was found unconscious on
the floor of his room. Amid historical
tears, Mrs. Sullivan said John L. had
abused her and in self-defence she had
picked up an Indian club which was
used in training and tapped him over
the head. II was harder than she in
tended and John l.. went to sleep. All
were pledged to secrecy, but the story
leaked out.
Mrs. Sullivan, it is said, was once a
strong woman" who swung clubs and
lifted heavy weights.

In truth, however, the question now
before the public OF the United States is
not the question between tree trade and
protection, or between tariff for reve.
nue. only and tariff for protection
only The question is simply whether
we shall have a system Of extreme and
unqualified and constantly growing pro-
lection, or whether we shall call halt
and moderate somewhat that extension
Of tile duties which the Republicans
made in the tariff act Of 1888 and in the
Mckinley act. This country has never
had a system Of free trade. The inevi-
table reliance of the Federal govern
ment upon import duties makes it un.
likely that we shall ever have such a
system. The tariff acts of 1S46 and
1857, passed by the Democrats, praised
by them and abused by their opponents,
were far from being free trade measures
or measures for revenue only. The acts
passed by the Republicans in 1870 and
1879, on the other hand, initiated a
policy of moderation in protection
which it would have been wise for them
to have maintained. They began in
these measures to prune somewhat the
high duties imposed during the civil
war, and to admit some raw materials
free. Unfortunately, in later years, this
wise and conservative policy was aban-
doned, and the party gradually granted
more and more freely the demands of
those interested in high duties. This
was done hesitatingly and with conceal
ment in the act of 1888; it was done
boldly and Haunted in the face of the
people in the act of 1890. The verdict
of the people on the new departure was
given emphatically in the election of
1892. 1t was that the Republicans had
gone too far in the Mckinley tariff, and
that it was time to retrace our steps
toward more liberal tariff policy

Max Adeler's humorous editorials in
TIE Manufacturer are improving. He
pretends to be ondesvoring to demon
strate that the enactment of the Wilson
bill will be followed by several contra
dictory consequences which, however,
are entirely consistent with each other
from the protectionist point of view,
and that, therefore, the Republicans
must fight the bill in both House and
Senate, and exhaust all the resources of
obstruction, bulldozing and tilibustering
to defeat it or delay its passage He
pours out great walls Of bottled-up
wrath upon some incautious Republican
who has counseled mo factious opposi-
ton" TO the bill, which make us fairly
shudder to imagine what he will say in
regard to Carnegie's advice to Republi-
cans TO aid the Democrats in putting
through this legislation as promptly as
possible. But, to get back to our open
ing, Max contends, first, that any rcduc-
ton in the Mckinley tariff will be fol.
lowed by a corresponding influx of
British goods-he doesn't have much
to say about the danger from Ger
man goods, probably because Ger.
many's protective tariff makes
1t awkward for him to explain
why wages should rule lower in that
country than they do in Great Britain.
Following out this thought, he argues
that the passage of tho Wilson bill
would cause the American market to be
fairly swaniped with British goods.
Notwithstanding this, he foresees that
the Wilson bill will bring about deficit
Of seventy millions Of dollars in the ma
tional revenue, which assumption serves
him as text to warn the Republicans
against aiding the Democrats in passing
bond bill to meet such deficit. How
such deficit could occur with an ava
lanche of foreign goods constantly
swelling the receipts from customs is a
detail to which he pays no attention.
Next, he goes on to show that the dis
employment of the millions of American
workmen which is to follow the "sur-
render" of our market to Great Britain,
VIII SO impoverlsh all of us that we
shall not be able to purchase the barest
necessaries of life. But he forgets to
explain why the British manufacturers
are going to deluge us with these ava.
lanches of things which we shall, &C.
cording to his showing, have no money
to buy. What queer head Max must
have! -....=

The income tax proposition has
aroused storm of opposition which
may be potent to eliminate this obiec-
tionable feature. Many of the most in.
fuential opponents of public sentiment
throughout the country are uncom.
promising in their denunciation of the
proposed tax as undemocratic, unrepub-
lican and wholly indefensible. Even
admitting, for the sake Of argument,
however, that tax on incomes may be
democratic per Sc, it is hard to under
stand how proposition to fix the
taxable minimum at $4,000 per year can
be defended. There is just as much
reason in taxing incomes of 81 900 as in
taxing incomes of $4,000, and there
would be great deal more democracy
in it. .-.#-

In one of the Philadelphia courts,
Judge Gordon has rendered decision
of considerable interest to brewers
interested pecuniarily in setting up and
supplying retail saloons. In the case in
question, the defendant, licensed re-
tail liquor dealer, contracted to repay
to brewing company the sum of
$4,000, loaned by the company, among
other purposes, for the payment of the
defendants license fee. This debt was
to be repaid in monthly instalments of
5000, presumably out of the proceeds
of the business. In default of payment,
the defendant agreed to assign and
transfer the license and all the stock
and fixtures of the saloon to any person
named by the brewing company. This
contract was made after the defendants
application for a license had been
granted by the court, but before the fee
had been paid and the license procured.
1t was to enforce the contract that iudg-
ment had been confessed and suit there
on brought. The court ordered the iudg-
ment to be stricken from the records,
saying:
The brewing company was advancing
money TO embark the retail dealer in htisi.
ness, and, in the event of his failure to re-
pay the money, was to become surrepti-
tiously and unlawfully the owner of the
license, and was to carry on the business.
BY this agreement both parties were de.
ceiving and perpetrating fraud upon the
court and concluding TO violate the law.
IL does not require any argument to show
that such an agreement was against public
policy, and, therefore, void. The present
Judgment was vital part of that agree
ment. and was given to enable the brewing
company to enforce it. The Judgment
therefore falls under the like condemna-
ton. 1t is not an answer to say that, as the
money for which the judgment was given
was good consideration, therefore il NAV
stand, while the remainder of the contract
falls. The transaction was an entirety and
the vice of the unlawful compact infects il
ALL The law will not be laborious or nice
to select valid parts out Of fraudulent
and dishonest agreement in aid of any of
the parties to 1t. The court will rather
| purge its records of the Judgment entered
for an unlawful purpose, and remit the
parties to the enforcement of any honest
rights they may have to the usual pro,
cesses OF the law.

Governor Brown sent to the Mary
land Legislature a message which was
something of novelty, being illus
trated by architectural designs of a pro.
jected public building. Baltimore
papers report this innovation highly ap.
preciated, not only as a testimonial of
their governors originality but for the
hitherto undreamed-of possibilities il
foreshadows in the establishment of
gubernatorial documents. The Herald
suggests that the governor might have
gone farther and made his deliverance
even more interesting in various ways.
He might have injected reminder of
his canvass for the nomination in the
shape of picture of himself attired as
a farmer, with trousersi in his boots crack
ing a whip over the back of pillow mule.
Ii he had thought of it in time he
might have made u tremendous hit by
COUGHING some of his recommendations
in poetry of the Jim Riley brand, with
stanzas ending like flight of stairs. Or
some of the sentimental passages of his
message might have been set TO music,
to be sung to the tune of "Two Little
Girls in Blue" and other popular airs.
Or the sprinkling through the message,
by way of illustration, of some of the
capital stories with which the governor
is no doubt familiar, would have greatly
increased tho public demand for the
document. Various other features will
suggest themselves to the fertile in
genuity of an executive who has demon
strated his ability to strike out in this
new line, and their incorporation in
future messages will be awaited with
keen interest.

The threatened struggle for the con-
troll OF the New Jersey Senate was in.
augurated tuesday afternoon by what
at this distance looks like an unwar-
rantable usurpation Of power by the
holding-over Democratic members of
that body. We do not pretend to under
stand all the details of the situation,
but, il the Democratic members are in
the right, they have been signally unfor.
tunate in putting themselves in posi-.
ton which goes SO far to discrcdit them
before the people. For reasons satisfac.
tory to themselves the voters of New
Jersey, normally Democratic State,
elected last fall to change the political
complexion of their Legislature, and, if
the Democratic holding-over Senators
think they can nullify that decision by
standing on mere technicalities, they are
hound to learn sooner or later that such
course is both bad policy and bad poll
tics. If, on the other hand, they really
have right and justice on their side, they
ought to be able to clear themselves of
suspicion of being engaged in high
handed attempt to reverse the verdict at
the polls.
