If you want TO keep the tariff cues
ton settled vote the Democratic ticket. y
J. Such is the advice the Boston Post is
giving the Massachusetts voters. AS
the great majority of the voters of that
State are intelligent men there is not the
slightest danger that the POSTS advice
will accomplish anything. 1t is as GER
tain as anything can be in the future
that the mass of Massachusetts
voters will not vote the Democratic
ticket. The POSTS advice deserves atten-
tton simply as showing to what an ex
tent the Democrats have, or pretend
they have, changed their minds about the
German tariff law. When il was passed
there was hardly Democratic news
paper in the North that did mot de.
nounce it. Indeed at Que time to on.
dorse it was looked upon as treachery to
the party. Right here in Maine Demo-
cratic convention declared that it was
the work of traitors to the party and
repudiated it in the strongest language
they were capable of. 1t was the same
in Massachusetts and indeed all over
New England. And not only did the
rank and file repudiate it, but the high
priests took early occasion to spit upon
it. Cleveland said it was stepped in
perfdy. Bourke Cochran said it was
worse than the Mckinley bill. Hill said
it was the. work of Spurious Democ-
racy," Wilson said it was dictated by
4he Sugar Trust, which had the country
by the throat and warned the friends of
protection that the tariff question would
never be settled until it was settled
right. Mills roared that the Democrats
intended to sweep protection off the fe ce
of the earth. 1om johnson avowed that
the passagesof the bill was disgrace to
Democracy, and refused to vote for it.
Nobody but German pretended to say a
word III it's favor; all were trying to ex-
cuse themselves for voting for it. The
bill has been in existence two months
and beyond restricting our foreign trade

Charges Against the Minneapolis

The local passenger association met
yesterday. From Secretary Klnnan it
WAS learned that the charges brought
against the Minneapolis & st. Louis for
alleged ticket manipulation fell through,
and that line was acquitted. The
charges against the, Omaha were con-
tinued. in order TO allow that line to
procure further evidence, until the next
meeting. Secretary Kinnan stated that
he had issued call for a special meet.

Mr.. Kinnan, THAT the only proper way
TO have the reports of our meeting pub
lished is through the secretary. Then
again, when call is issued for meet
ing to be held for the purpose of lnves-
tlgating charges against any line. l
think the more just way is not to make
public the name of the line to be inyes-

RAILROAD CONVENTION.
Sixth Annual Gathering Of Com.
missioners in Washington.


WASHINGTON, d. c., May s. The
sixth annual convention OF state rail-
road commissioners convened today at
the rooms Of the interstate commerce
commission. There was quite repre-
sentative gathering. as state officers
charged with any duty in the superyis-
ion of railroad affairs are entitled to
seats in the co invention. j. II. Pad
dock, Of Illinois, called the convention
to order, and Mr.. Woodruff. of Connec-
ticut, was elected chairman; Allen Fort.
of Georgia, vice chairman, and Edward
S. Moseley. the secretary of the inter-
state commerce commission, secretary.
The most important feature of the DAYS
proceedings was the presentation of the
majority and minority reports of the
committee appointed at the last conven-
ton to make report on pooling of
freights and division earnings. The
majority report was presented by Peter
A. Dey, of Iowa, in which Mr. Chad
burn concurred, and also Mr.. Bedding
field, of North Carolina, with the
exception of the recommendation
as the unconditional repeal of
the anti-pooling clause. Mr.. Becker
submitted minority report. The ma
joriuy report insists that if section of
the interstate commerce act, which pro-
hibits pooling, were repealed and free
dom given to the railway companies to
pool or otherwise divide their earnings
compensatory rates would more
generally be maintained at competing
points; that the labors of the commits
sion in enforcing the law would be less
ened and its authority respected be-
cause it would enlist In its support
very large proportion of the railway
service that is now, by the force Of
selt-preservati0n, compelled to antago-
niZe both the law and the commission.
The report urges the repeal of section S.
and points out other defects in the law,
which it is declared can be remedied by
legislation. Mr.. Becker, in his minor.
ity report. says that section should not
be repealed, but should be so amended
as to include in its provisions all net
earnings. from whatever source de-
rived. The proposition to allow COM
peting roads to divide between them net
proceeds Of their earnings is, he assert
ed, nothing but an effort to create under
the forms of law a gigantic railroad
trust.

CLASSIFICATION MEETING.
Proceedings OF the Body to Be
Executive.

proceedings or the Body to Be
Executive.
Yesterday morning the semi-annual
| session Of the joint Western classified
ton committee convened at the Hotel
Ryan. The proceedings of the body
will he executive, and it is upon the re-
suits of the deliberations of this COM
mittee that the welfare of vast CONNER
cial interests depends. For example: A
certain commodity may he listed as
flrst-class. another at double first, and
another at one and half times first. Of
course the first-class rate is the highest.
II shippers can have any Of the articles
listed as first class placed in the second,
some OF the double first made first, OF
similar changes made to their advan-
tage, 1t will mean great saving in
freight rates. This will be very readily
understood in its full sense, when the
explanation is made that the joint West
ern classification is the standard for all
railroads from Chicago and st. Louis
west to the PacIti C coast, and from the
Canadian boundary line south to the
Gulf of Mexico. The object of the
present meeting is to consider changes
similar to those outlined. Upon the
Western classification are founded the
rate sheets of all railroads in the terri
tory.
1t was nearly noon before the men,
bers began to do business. Several
committees desiring changes in the
classification were heard. There was
some talk of amending the bylaws so
as to allow of annual meetings in the
place of meeting once in six months,
but this failed to carry. A number ct
applications for membership were put
in and considered.
j. L. Ripley, the chairman. is all eff
ticient man. The prior meeting was
held last fall. Since then he has made
over 100 rulings. OF these all but one
have been approved. The exception
was but slightly modified.
AS rule, the sessions of this body
continue for about three days, but the
GLOBES informant thought all matters
OIL the docket would be wound I'D bv
noon to-day.
AS has been already stated in this
paper, there are about seventy railroads
represented. The delegates all hold
one or more proxies. so that the attend
ance is not necessarily large for SO I'M.
portant gathering. Most of the out
side delegates are registered at the
Ryan, though number went to the
Albion. When the roll was called

Mr.. Hill Says 1t Was Understood
That No Striker Who Resorted
to Cbstructing Mails or to Vio-
Ience Would Be Retained-The
Men Say All Strikers We're to
Be Taken Back.
The Great Northern grievance COM
mittee met at Labor hall yesterday and
discussed the point upon which they
feel sore. They assert that the findings
of the recent arbitration board were that
all strikers should be Ieinstated, but
that President Hill and General Man.
ager Case are letting these people out
at various points along the line. This.
they insist, is not in accord with that
agreement. The company construes the
agreement not TO mean tina. 10 striker
who had injured the company's prop
erty or who had obstructed the free
transportation of mail trains should
continue in the company's service. Mr..
Hill firmly takes the ground that the
company, in submitting 10 the rulings
OF the arbitration board, has literally
lived up to its agreement; that the I'M
dersianding was. furthermore, that any
man who was guilty Of any Illegal act
would not be retained. MIR. Hill con-
siders that the renewal of agitation over
what is now generally understood as q
dead issue is not worthy OF notice.
The grievance committee and the ST.
Paul contingent of the arbitration com-
miitee talked over matters yesterday
afternoon at the rooms of the joDbers'
union. Later Oh all hands went down
to Mr.. HIPS Office and had little talk
with that gentleman.
1t was after O'Clock before the men,
bers of the conn iitee came down from
the conference. Dan Ii. Moon looked
as affable as any of the committee.
When he was qujZzed he said simply:
Il Will have to refer you. to Claiming

pealeu to. quietly remarked: "rhere
