Vest Defended.

Editor Cash Book-In your issue o
August 2, 1898. appears the following
Senator Vest hasn't shown his usual
zeal for Democratic principles in the
tariff fight. His attitude of protection
for coal and passive submission to the
Sugar Trust and other Plutocratic
amendments in the Senate to the Viii.
son bill Is very disappointing to bis
friends. He has grown quite wealthy
since he first went to the Senate poor
man, and there is a suspicion that he
has been hypnotized by the glamour OF
the golden calf.-Farnsington Times.
A more unjust and unwarranted
thrust was never made at any public
official. It is unjust, because not one
statement in it is true.
Senator Vest has not assumed the at
titude of protection to coal and passive
submission to the Sugar Trust. Any
one, who has kept close watch of the
Tariff Bill in the Senate. knows that it
was an utter impossibility to pass the
Wilson Bill or any except the Senate
Bill. It was not fight for free sugar
or free coal, but simply and solely a
contest for some tariff legislation and
the best and lowest rates that could be
secured in the Senate. Almost at the
outset the Democratic members of the
Senate Finance Committee learned that
it was useless to think of passing the
Wilson Bill. and they Uere instructed,
by a caucus of Democratic Senators to
report such bill as would secure 43
Democratic votes in the Senate-that
number being necessary to its passage.
To that end they worked, though it is
known Senator Vest was more than
anxious to accept the bill as it came
from the House. And the very fact
that Wilson and the other Democrats
of the House finally accepted the SEN
ate bill shows conclusively. that they
were convinced that the acceptance of
the Senate bill was the best that could
be done for the time. So the Ques-
tion was simply shall we retain the
Mckinley rates, which the people ov-
erwhelmingly condemned at the polls,
or shall we have the Senate bill?
Though I favored the Wilson Bill /
say give us the Senate in preference
to the Mckinley schedules. Why?
Because in the Senate bill the average
rate of taxation is less than the Nc
Kinley rate, and even less than the
rate in the Mills Bill. Moreover there
are two things accomplished, which
are worth all the sacrifices true tariff
reformers were compelled to make.
What are they? Free wool and the
income tar. Why so valuable? Be-

hoodwinked the farmers long enough

1t is not true Senator Vest has grown
quite wealthy since he went to the Sem

sinuation Is worse than untrue. Sena-
tor Vest has lived almost all his years
in Missouri; he has represented his
State in the Senate for Is years, and
this is the first and only time any one
has ever breathed aught against his

submitted for the protection of British

1t is announced upon authority that
the Cabinet decided to send troops to

Supt Cannon Demands the
Sl75,0OO Purchase Money.
Comptroller Fitch Explains the Cause
Of the Delay.
And Will Fight Any Attemnt of tho
And VIII Fight Any Attempt of the
b. and q. to Run Boats.

The interjection of a delicate legal
question into the fight over the Staten
Island ferry franchise has more closely
defined the issue between the Rapid
Transit Company and Howard Carroll,
the purchaser of the lease.
II have concluded that it is about
time this matter was brought to a
head" said General Supt Cannon, of
the Rapid Transit Company, to-day.
Mr.. Carroll has had ample time, and 1t
may be that we will stop running the
boats tonight. He is trifling with the
public and with this Company.
To-day we will demand that the sum
of $4,000 be paid to US, according to the
terms of the sale of the franchise. If
that money is not paid, war will be de-
clared. and plan of operation deter
mined upon"
Howard Carroll said he did not think
he would execute the lease to-day or
pay the Sl75OOO.
THE question has been raised that an
opposition company has he right to run
boats without paying a cent for the
privilege" said Mr.. Carroll.
IF that position is correct l don't see
why we should be asked to pay a large
sum each year. That must be decided
first"
Corporation Counsel Clark was of the
opinion that Kings and New York coun-
ties were exempted from the amendment
to the General Railroad act As that
question would probtbly be referred to
him for settlement, he does not care to
express positive opinion at this time.
AT IL o'clock General Superintendent
Cannon, accompanied by his counsel Mr..
Boardman, of the firm of Tracy, Board
man &Platt, called upon Comptroller
Fitch and demanded that the sum of
$1,000 be paid to the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Company.
Comptroller Fitch explained that the
money could not be paid just now, as
he had no right to demand II from the
new purchaser, Howard Carroll, until
the lease was altered. The original
lease, he explained. was made out from
June l, 1894, but as the sale took place
in the last week of September. such d
lease couldn OF be given.
He assured Mr. Cannon that all dill
gence was being employed, and request
ed him not to inconvenience the public
by withdrawing the boats.
Mr.. Cannon protested that he was do
ing everything for the public, and while
he did not say 1t in so many words, he
gave the Comptroller the impression that
the boat service would be continued
until the lease Is executed.
Lawyer Boa oman and the Comp
troller had Il friendly discussion con-
corning the rights of the BaltiNVe and
Ohio Railroad to land its passengers
anywhere in New York.
The Comptroller said he believed that
Mr.. Boardman had not rightly inter
preted the law He made it plain that

tested by the city
