The Pennsylvania R. r. Co. claims
that the removal of tfeir delivery
point to Jersey City in the interest
of trade. The commission merchants
say that it is in the interest of the
railroad and submit the following
through the Producers Price-Current
as the reason for conclusions:
AS to the reason for the change, it
is easy to see why the Jersey City
delivery will be greatly favorable
to the Penna. R. R., assuming that
the amount of traffic is not materi-
ally curtailed thereby. The change
will not only save them the heavy
cost of transportation across the
Hudson River of thousands OF cars
laden with fruit and vegetables, but
will give to their existing ferry lines
the profitable business of transport
ing tens of thousands of trucks from
New York empty, and back to New
York loaded. We have not SUI
ficently accurate data at hand to
estimate reliably the cost of this
transportation of trucks to and from
New Ork, DuC When IL Is COuSlueIel
that during the height of the season
arrivals of more than 100 carloads
in day are common by this route
alone, some idea may be obtained of
the enormous revenue which would
be derived from ferrying the stock
across the river in driblets.
The removal is Of course in the in
terest Of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co.,
and for the additional reason, it is
stated, that it has much property in
Jersey City which would be greatly
enhanced in value if the Jersey City
delivery can be made a success. So
far it has not been, but it is claimed
it will be, we are advised, when pota-
toes are sent to market because too
bulky to be moved easily. If such is
the case, should we not do all in our
power to prevent the contamination
of an iniquity at our expense?

Tariff Bills.

AS considerable comment has been
made charging delay in the passage
of the present tariff bill, it is but fair
to give the dates when the several
bills, during the last fifty years, have
passed the Senate, SO that COMPARE
son can be made by the people, and
a conclusion reached as to whether
the work upon the present bill has
been as rapid as that upon its prede-
cessors:
Walker tariff, 1916, passed the Sen
ate July 2S, 1916, and was approved
by the President, July 80, 1876.
Morrill, tariff, 1861, reported to the
House March -, 1860, passed the
Senate February 20, 1861, and was
approved March ?, 1861
Tariff bill of 1883, passed the House
June 81, 1882, passed the Senate Feb.
ruary 20, 1888, and was approved
March 8, 1883
The Mckinley tariff passed the
Senate September 10, 1890, and was
approved by the President October
1, 1890.
1t seems to be the consensus OF
opinion by leaders upon both sides
that the present tariff bill will pass
the Senate about the middle of June.
Comment has been made upon the
fact that the Finance Committee has
offered 400 amendments to the Will
son bill. The same Committee offer
ed to the Mckinley bill 300 amend
ments that changed its substance
while of the 400 amendments offered
to the Wilson bill, Senator Jones in
charge of the Senate bill states that
majority of them simply changed
the Senate amendments and restored
the rates of duty as originally pro-
vided by the Wilson bill.-Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee.

Governments Demands upon Virginia.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Attorney-
General R. Taylor Scott and State
Treasurer Harmon, OF Virginia, were
here today. to file an answer to the
demand made by the Treasury De
partment that the State of Virginia
pay S54G, 900, the amount of the State
bonds now held by the government.
The bonds were purchased by the
government before tie civil war and
have never been paid, because the
State of Virginia has a claim
of more than 100000 for money
advanced TO the government to defray
the expenses OF the war of 1912 and
to erect public buildings in Washing
ton. The matter will probably have
to be settled by some congressional
action through which Virginia's
claim can be paid, less the amount
of the bonds held by the government
Several attempts have already been
made to obtain such legislation, but
none have been successful.

Philbrook Stands by His Brief.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 17.--Attorney
Horace w. Philbrook appeared before
the State Supreme Court this morn
ing and endeavored to show why he
should not be punished for contempt
in having mercilessly scored Justice
Harrison for his action in the New
man Levison litigation previous to his
elevation to the Supreme bench.
Philbrook, unabashed, reiterated his
charges. He declared that the evil
influence OF Harrison secured a judg-
ment in the lower courts against the
legatees Of John Newman, and that
he believed Harrison's influence
would have been eXerted upon the re-
mainder of the court to decide against
Levinson in the case now pending
had he neglected to call the Courts
attention to the peculiar state of af.
fairs. He considered his brief prop
er and necessary and considered it
his sworn duty to present the matter
therein. He thought it showed the
highest confidence in the court in re.
vealing the nature of the whole trans.
action. After hearing the statement
the court adjourned until 2 o'clock.
