A Fashionable Gathering at the Burbank

A large and fashionable audience filled
the Burbank theater yesterday to aid in
the very worthy cause Of giving financial
assistance to the Newsboys' hcme. Albeit

REVISION OF THE TARIFF

Effects Of Increasing Duties on the Income
of the Government
Interesting figures are submitted below,
showing conclusively that the effect of
high tariff is to greatly reduce the reven-
ues of the government. On the present
basis of expenditure the United States re-
quires about $360,O00,0O0 this year to
meet its expenses. During January, 1896,
there was received from custom import
and other sources total of nearly $780,
10000, the custom receipts alone amount
ing to 81 6, 100000. Up to the year SAC,
no tariff had ever yielded as much as So =
100000 annually, but at the end Of that
year the Walker Slow tariff went into
effect, greatly reducing duties on imported
articles, with the result that the importa-
ton was encouraged, custom receipts in
creased, and the revenue abundant AS
results prove, the table given below shows
the policy was correct:

JUST A TRIMMER

Senator Sherman stays consistently
and psrsistently with the misrepre-
sentation that the reason for the bond
issues is to be found in the insult
ciency Of the revenues produced by
the present tariff law. The senator
says that he does not care what the
president says to the contrary. Pre-
sumably he does not care either for
the fact that the first issue of bonds
by the present administration was
made more than six months before the
Mckinley law ceased operation
or for the other significant
fact that when President Harri-
son went out of Office nearly
10 months before the Mckinley affair
went off the statute books, the plates
for printing new bonds, in anticipation
Of the gold reserves depletion, had
been prepared. The president and the
secretary Of the treasury have repeat
edly shown that no increase in the
revenues will guarantee the mainte-
nance Of the gold reserve. Comparative
ly little If any gold is received in the
payment of customs dues, the receipts
consisting almost entirely of United
States and treasury notes, which, under
the law now in force, must pe re-
issued. The trouble is not with
the revenues, but with the endless
note chain and Senator Sherman knows
it. His own recent suggestion that the
law relative to the reissue of green
backs and treasury notes be so changed
that the notes when received shall only
be paid out again for gold, shows that
in his own mind he sees the mischief
wrought by the notes that are re.
peatedly redeemed but never paid. But
he lacks the frankness and the courage
to avow the truth as he sees it. With
all of his years and honors the Senator
is nothing more than a dissembler and
trimmer who has been masquerading
around as statesman. His success in
public life shows how easily the Ameri-
can people are fooled.

THE SOUND DEMOCRATIC DOC
TRINE

" wanted to be here tonight because l
knew that your halls would be thronged
and your table surrounded mainly by old
fashioned Democrats who have never re-
pudiated and am sure never will repudi-
ate the principles of their party-sound
money, just taxation, economy in the ex-
pendtture OF the public moneys, honesty
and fidelity in the discharge of official
duty, and the preservation of individual
liberty and the rights of the states. These
are old-fashioDed Democratic doctrines, it
10 true, but they were good enough for our
fathers and they are good enough for US
or they are for me.''
These are the words with which Sec
retary Carlisle opened his address to
the Manhattan club of New York city
Tuesday evening. They are the utter
ances of the purest and most intellect
nal Democrat in public life. The prin-
ciples thus enunciated make platform
broad enough for all occasions and
strong enough to endure for all time.
In these few terse sentences of the
great kentuckian is compressed the
Democratic creed, the creed through
which and through which only, the
people are to find political salvation.
The principles thus outlined by Sec
retsry Carlisle are the principles to
which the Democratic party must ad.
here and which its leaders must
preach in all their purity if the party
would win and deserve to win. They
must be taken as they are for what
they are, unembarassed by any conces-
sion to any section of the union, or to
any special interests of individuals.
The next political campaign should be
fought out by consistent Democracy,
bold in the advocacy of these princi-
pies, prepared to lose the support Of
those who are antagonistic to them and
to receive the allegiance OF the multi
tudes that will flock to the standard of
party that has the courage of its con-
victions.

THAT ATLANTICCITY HORROR
The Dead Engineer Seems to Have Been the Cause-Conductor Pinkerton lntimates
 That Signals We're Changed.

Atlantic City, N J., Aug. 4.-The testis mony brought out at todays session of the coroner's inquest in the Meadow collision seems to fix the direct respon1 sibility for the accident upon the dead engineer of the Reading railroad express,
 Edward Farr. From the testimony Farr's action in running at a speed of forty-five miles an hour past a dangep signal seems inexplicable, and as thg man is dead the reason for 1t will prob- | ably never be known. Farr is given the reputation of having been an experienced engineer and a man | or exceptionally high moral characteT | and not of reckless or careless disposi- tion. Only two weeks previous to the ao- cident his train was slgnalled to stop at this very crossing, and he promptly brought his train under control. One witness today testif1ed-Conductor Pfnkerton of the express--that Farr saw
 the signal set at the crossing, for hE
 heard him give the signal in reply to nos
 tify the tower man that he had the sig
 nal-a blast of his whistle. Conductor
 Pinkerton intimated rather than charg,
 ed that the signal was suddenly chansS
 ed on Farr, as he heard the whistle blow
 furiously in moment again for what he
 took to be another signal blast Still
 this witness was forced to admit that when he looked from the platform of the car the danger signal was set and this position of the semaphore was corrobos rated to every other witness.
 It was shown that Farr made every eff fort to stop his train when he saw thS
 coming collision, and succeeded in reducH ing its speed from forty-fve miles afR
 hour to fifteen in few h6ndred feet Ha
 might have jumped after putting on ths air brakes and reversing his engine, but
 he died with his hand on the lever of hia engine.
 The tower operator, George F. HauseH who set the signals, told a straightforr ward story as to the positions of thd
 move the signals on the Reading ling from where they were set when he enterA ed the tower, which was at danger, but only moved those on the West Jersey road to a clear track.
 witness testified that 1t Is usual to give a first-olass express the right os way on railroads over such trains, and that Hauser did an unusual thing in givI
 ing the latter the right of way
 Fireman Hollahan of the express testil
 fled that he did not see the signals until
 the train was within 25 feet of the
 distant signal, and 1t was then set at
 danger. He knew nothing of Farr's ac-
 tions as he could not see him from hlS
 side of the cab, and saved his own life
 by running back to the tender
 Engineer Greiner of the excursion train
 testified that he got clear signal and
 went over the tracks at the crossing at
 the rate of thirty miles an hour. He did not see the express particularly until ft
 was nearly on top of his train, as he was attentively watching for his signals and
 supposed the express would stop at the
 danger signal.
 The inquest will probably not conclude until Thursday.
