The cuckoo's plaintive cry, that COM
merce is tagging and manufactures
closed because "tariff reform" is delay
ed, is too foolish to deceive any one.
The years OF prosperity under the
tariff and the sudden paralysis Of bust
ness when Democrats threatened a
change tell the whole story. Drop
''tariif reform" into the waste basket
and let Congress adjourn and go home,
and prosperity would come speedily to
the front. II the President had de-
voted his time exclusively to fish and
snipe instead of tariff tinkering things
would have been different.

WANT HIM IMPEACuED.

WANT HIM IMPEACHED.
Some Senators do not hesitate to
say that the President ought to be
impeached. Not for many years
has the Capitol seen so exciting a
day as this. History made itself
with startling rapidity and it's devel-
opements were full of surprises
The scene in the House from the
moment that body convened at noon
until the conferrees had been reap
pointed was most dramatic.
The excitement under which the
members were laboring, the great
surprise caused by Mr.. Wilson's
sudden revelation of Mr.. Cleveland's s
letter, which he has been carrying
in his inside pocket for seventeen
days, the sensation caused by its
phrases, the unexpected Democratic
enthusiasm with which Mr.. Wilson's
appeal to stand by free sugar was
received, and the serious energy
with which Mr.. Reed denounced
this violation of the Constitution
and the Presidents attitude in favor
of the Sugar Trust and of Mr..
Whitney's Nova Scotia coal syndi-
cate all contributed to make every
.raught with significance.
DENOUNCED BY ALL.
Tonight Mr.. Cleveland's letter is
being denounced on every hand by
Democrats, few of whom, however,
venture TO give open expression of
their feelings for publication. Their
private conversations are sulphurous.
The question which every one is
asking is, What will be the effect of
Mr.. Cleveland's pionunciamento upon
tue fortunes of the bill?

FERDINAND WARDS STORY.
Why the Ex-Banker Attempted to Get
Possession Of His Son Clarence.


WEBSTER, Mass. Sept. H.-Ferdinand
Ward, the ex-banker, who is charged with
the attempted abduction of his ten-year-
old son, was seen to-day by reporter, TO
whom he related his version of the affair.
He stated that while he was in Sing Sing
prison his wife made a win bequeathing
her entire estate to their son Clarence, and
naming Mr.. Wards brother as guardian
of the child. Before Wards release Mrs.
Ward died, and Wards brother, being on
an extended European tour. the property
went into the hands of a public admins
traitor, who Immediately named f. /.
Green, of Thompson, Conn.,, as guardian,
allowing him about 5000 a year for the
boys support and education. Upon his re-
lease from Sing Sing Ward was notified by
Green that he might have possession of the
boy, but he was not then situated so that
he could give him q suitable home. Later,
however, when he had settled in Brooklyn,
where he is now employed as an account
refused to give up the boy. Ward has
made repeated attempts TO secure Green's
consent, but, having failed in these, and
being determined TO get the child in his
own hands, he planned and helped to eX-
ecute the abduction, which would give
him what he claims is now the legal right
the guardianship of his son. The property
amounting to over $4,000 at the time of
Mrs. Wards deal,I, was placed in control
Of the Holland Trust Company, of New
York, and still remains there. Ward de-
clares that he will continue his efforts TO
secure possession of his son until he is
successful.
