THE ITEMS IDEA CONDEMNED

THE Item still clings to its idea OF
permanent tariff commission to max,
Esuggestions to congress of needed chan
ges and notifications from time to time
But it introduces evidence to prov,
that such commission could not under
present conditions be raised, and if il
was would dointinite harm. The Item {
witness we 90 not know, brit we accept
his credifility on the Mems inasr..-
-He is Mr.. Nood Wild has
written Al work on 1.-The Political Econ
omy of Natural Law" and} is therefore
acquainted with the subject he dis
cusses. Mr.. Wood seeks to obtain an
ideal result" which would require
important and expert treatment" OF
the subject, but he does not argue that
this should be in the form of commits
sion. He says:
Could commission of economic ex
perts be formed with single aim for
justice and the public welfare, occupy
ing an American standpoint, and unin-
fluenced by political ties and questions
of party advantage, they would be able
to outline a very perfect revenue sys-
tenn. But with existing partisan preju-
dice and unsound theory among legis-
lators and motives of personal, political
and sectional policy, the obstacles to an
ideal result are great.
Could a commission be formed Of
economic experts. to outline revenue
System, it would be well, but even this
he says under existing circumstances
cannot be done. But this is quite diff
ferent from the Items idea of perma-
nent commission whose Functions
would be to keep informed as to the
changing conditions of the various
protected industries and those asking
protection, TO report these facts to con-
gress, and suggest or recommend TO
that body the changes that these facts
warrant and that are necessary to place
such industries on fairly competing
basis with those abroad" This idea
MIR. Wood emphstically condemns; he
believes tariff system should be stable
and fixed, and should not have innu-
merable flaws continually picked in it,
because that would produce restless
ness unfavorahle TO business adjust
ment. Precisely the objection the
PALLADIUM urged Mr.. Wood adds:
a tariff, once intelligently adopted,
should embody fixed policy, to be de-
pended upon. Under such plan but
lew and slight notifications would be
necessary during decade. To make
tariff policy party football, is to
sacrifice general prosperity to political
vagsries.
Aud to make il foot ball for tariff
commission would have precisely the
same effect. The Item 5 witness sustains
every objection we made to the Items |
idea of a permanent tariff commission. |
The usefulness of tariff law de-
Ponds almost entirely on its 6xedness, |
Its freedom from frequent changes, or, |
as MIR. Wood states il, the avoidance Of
"a restlessness unfsvorable to business
adjustment" The witness completely |
demohshes the Items commission, and
We heartily concur in his conclusions

Exaggeration.

The Pulaski County Democrat tells
the following:
maggie Flynn was here from Lo-
gansport from Friday until Monday
the guest of friends. Her aged bachelor
uncle, Michael Brennan, OF Richmond,
Ind, recently did nice thing FIR her
II lie was sick and she went and took care
OF him, and he reciprocated by maxim G
a will naming her as his sole legatee.
He is worth several thousand dollars In
real estate lying between Richmond city
proper and tho insane asylum grounds,
all of which is to go to her at his death,
and it will be great help to her in her
crippled condition"
There are few mistakes in the
above, but the most unfortunate one is
that Michael Brennan is-not a wealthy
man and is not ,woreh seyefL thousand
yallar4 in req! -as...lss tlsna is a
most estimabie young lady and has
many friends here. For ler sake they

SAN Francisco, Feb. c5. General
Ruger has finally interfered in the
nltter contention waging between
Colonel Graham, commandant of the
United States army forces at the Pre-
sidio here, and Lieutenant-C Colonel
Young, a veteran cavalry officer under
Graham's command. In accordance
with General Ruger's order Colonel
Young, who has heen prisoner at his
quarters for over two weeks. has been
given his freedom. Colonel Young was
placed under arrest the 10th inst.. i'm
mediately after it became noised about
the post that he had prepared charges
against the commander of the post.
His charges accused Colonel Graham of
tyrannical and unofficerlike conduct
toward his subordinates. Col
onel Graham, in turn, accused
Yong OF conspiring against the disc.-
pline of the post and had him locked
up. All the officers at the Presdio and
at army headquarters are 10th to talk,
but it seems to be understood that Gen.
ersl Ruger's action is practically de-
cision that Young's arrest by Graham
was without warrant. The friends OF
Young declare that the matter is now
certain to go before the secretary Of war.
as Young will insist on q vindication
and push his charges against his superior
officer, Colonel Graham. A sensational
courtmartial is quite likely to be the
outcome.

Massacre of British Marines by Slave-
Dealers.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Further details of
disaster to British force in An en-
counter with slave dealers on the west
coast of Africa have been received from
Bathurst. The British troops numbered
229. They had destroyed the strong.
holds of Kembuieh and Mandins, and
returning to Kembujen creek for the
purpose OF re-em barking when they
were ambushed near the mouth OF the
creek. There had been no sign of the
enemy, and the attack was sudden and
unexpected. The Britiah had entered
into trap and were surrounded on every
side. In spite OF the suddenness of the
onslaught and the terrible fire TO which
they were subjected. the sailors tried to
make a stand. The attempt was use-
less, as the enemy maintained we'll
directed volleys. Amidst hailetorm
of bullets they were compelled to re-
treat. So ferocious was the attack
that the British we're unable to rescue
the bodies of Lieutenant of MarineH F.
W. Hervey and eight others killed. In
their retreat they were forced to aban-
don fieldpiece and 5000 cartridges. On
the arrival of the news at Bathurst
the war vessels Aviso and Alecto were
dispatched to the scene of disaster,
and attempted to land party at
Conjor. The enemy were prepared for
their arrival and opened up heavy
fire, which compelled the party to re-
tire. The Alecto thereupon returned to
Bathuret for reinforcementH. Three
hundred men of the West India regi-
ment are expected at Bathurst. and the
expedition against the slave-dealers
will be resumed Immediately upon the
arrival of these soldier.

VIENNA Feb. 25.--L Copyrighted, 1894,
by the Associated Press. AFTER an alb
sence of nearly two years, spent in ex-
ploring Africa, Lieut. Ludwig Ritter Won
Hohnell of the Austrian navy, has re-
turned to Vienna. Won Hohnell, on
arriving last week at Fiume, was met by
his old comrade explorer, Count Samuel
Feleki, who accompanied him to Buds
Pesth, where his still open wound,
caused by rhinoceros' horn, was OPP
Grated upon by Professor Lumnitzer,
and great relief given. Ven Hohnell is
now rapidly recovering his usual health.
The explorer gives an account OF his
exploring expedition in Africa with the
Chanler party, which started Septem-
Der l6, 1892, with 1856 men. and told OF
the i'll luck and hardships which beset
the expedition. They fought one whole
day with the hostile tribe of VAN Sara,
and with Mannlicher and Werndt guns
inflicted great loss upon the natives.
August %, 1898, Hohnell was badly
wounded in an encounter with COW
rhinoceros, and only within few days
has recovered from his injuries. This
episode compelled him to part company
with Chanler. AS to the ultimate re-
suit of Chanler's expedition, Hohnell
says: ~ am afraid, through lack OF
transport, Chanler has not been able to
advance to the Borana country, the goal
he desired to reach. | know that on
October IS, 1898, a caravan from
Turkana to Mombass. sold to one OF
Chanler's agents go donkeys. These l
understand arrived safely at Daitcho.
Personally, when leaving Dsitcho in
August, I advised him to proceed to
Turkana for ivory. What have been
his adventures since we parted he will
tell on his arrival shortly at Mombasa.
'Now have told you deal, and in
return wish you to tell, through the
American press, what clever, we'll

Actor Chanler is. His sense OF honor is
