close on the heels of the disclosure

only when railroads are operated b.
the government will such di eadful
things be avoided.
1t Is, perhaps. sufficient to call
the attention of these enthusiastic

ment enterprises en- oy no special
immunity from rascality in admins

fortunate than private concerns. in
asmuch as they are proverbia ly
co nplaisant toward those who in ure
them. A truer deduction from the
recent scandals is that they proba-

expected to take full advantage of

The New Tariff and the Farmer.

The Canadian farmers would
doubtless be pleased to come ste lth-
lily over the border this fall and cast
their vest pocket ballots for the
straight Democratic ticket Our
new tariff bill, if it lasts. has solved
the pr blem OF existence for them.
They are on top of the heap. The
Mckinley duty on hay was 81 ton.
while the sugar trusts bill cuts it
down to 50. Nor is hay all. The
following table shows the per cent
OF reduction on several important
products from that of the Mckinley
bill:
Hay, 81 per cent Potatoes, 40 per cent
Straw. 30 per cent Corn, ~ per cont
Barley. u per cent. On ons % por cent
Es@s, Al per ceat Hor 'e' 36 per cent
Poultry. 81 per cent, Cattle 68 per cent
Mules, IS per cent Sheep. II per cent
Hogs Go per cent
To this add free wool. and the
: Canadian farmer has reason to thank
Grover and take courage. The best
markets in the world ara now wide
open to him here in the East, and if
he does not drive the farmers OF the
Easte and Middle states into the
pool house he is even more of q slug
gard than we have been giving him
credit for. Our salt manufacturers
have been peppered severely and the
poles have been knocked from under
Our hop growers. They are looking
about for other Industries in which
to engage. but in the general de.
preston nothing presents itself.
All our Eastern farmers, and es-
pectally our New York farmers,
should paste the above little table
in their hats, where they may have
it, for ready reference on election
day, when the tariff reforming Dem.
ocratin party will come up to re-

As for the Western farmers, they

IS The VAGRANT LAW ELASTIC ?
Barber Arrested while at Work
and Held Under 1t.
Not Evidence Enough to Hold Him
for Theft.

Zacete Nitelio. a resident of Italian row
at Broadway and Fulton street, East
New York. was arraigned in the Gates
Avenue Court, Brooklyn, this morning
on charge of vagrancy. Some days
ago Salvador Bcnuuia, Il shoemaker, OF
1881 Broadway, was robbed of sixty pairs
of shoes. Yesterday 1t Is said, he saw
his missing property in Vitelio's barber
shop. Vitello told him that the bundle
had been left with MIN by one of the
shoemaker's employees.
Benquia called In Policeman Stein
metz, who arrested Nitello in his own
house without a warrant and on the
simple statement of Benquia, At the
Liberty avenue station-house II was de-
cided that no charge of theft could he
made, as there was no one to accuse
him of that crime.
When Policeman Steinmetz arrived in
court this morning, however. he swore
to complaint charging Nitello with
being yagrant, person, who, not
having visible meanssto maintain him
self, lives without employment" not
withstanding the. fact that he had ar
rested the barber in his own place of
business while he was at work.
No Interpreter was present to trans
late the charge to Nitello, and he was
unable to tell his side of the story. y
plea of not guilty was entered for him.
and he. was sent to Jail in default or
$500 bail.
