FORAKER STATES HIS VIEWS.
Existing Standard and Stiff Protective

Existing tandar r d and Stiff Protective
Tariff Planks for the Platform
st. Louis, June 15.-Senator-e elect For
aker, who is to he chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, makes public the
following statement OF his views:
ssI believe in timetailism in conradistinc-
ton to either gold monomctaliisIn or silver
mopometallism hut believe that the free
coinage of silver vithout an internaiiona
agreement would-mean silver monome tai
lisrn, and am, therefore. opposed TO it, and
In favorof ma htafning our existing standard
until we can do better.
..The tarffpIank will be distin ct declara-
ton in favor 7f protection to American in
dustries and to American labor. but that
will not mean that it W III favor the re- enact
ment of tile Mckinley tariff law. That
Law will never he rc-enacted. Conditions
have changed and tariff rates must change
with them.

form. 1 want . declaration in favor OF re-
storing our merchant marine and If doing
it by recurring to the policy Of, ,discriminat-
ing duties. Bnunties and subsidies are dis
tasteful.
THE American people would never sus-
tain u policy of subsidies, and therefore
we can never build up Il merchant marine
in that way: but when we say to shippers
abroad that thcy can have rebate by
shipping in American bottoms we can get
the carving trade back again. We paid
nearly 5000, 100000 in gold annually to
foreign ship owners for freight transpor-
tation every dollar OF which we ought to
nav ..t horie and. keep at home This is
enough of itself to cure all this money

TO EXPEDITE BUSINESS.

1t is understood that the proposal is based
upon desire to expedite business in view
OF the large number OF appeals which IT
now appears are to he lodged with the COM
mittee and upon Il further wish TO prevent a
reopening OF any OF the New York CON
tested cases. which We're the occasion OF
80 much excitement III the Committee room.
As to The question whether anything of
the kind can legally be done, there is a diff
ference or opiniou. some people contend
lug that the unseated delegates canno.-sss s
deuarred from Il hearing on appeal, While
others take the ground that the committee
on credentials can and is likely TO do any
thing that ma iority thereof ulay see Fit
to order, irrespective of precedent.
One of those who think this way is Com
nhtteeman Sutherland OF Rochester, y. ".
who has been congratulated even by his
opponents for the dignified fight he made
in behalf OF the interests which he repre-
sents. Mr., Sutherland said this morning;

Judge McComas returned to the city this
morning and at noon went To the City Hall
To hear counsel in the Slack-Perrinc case.
The latest move was brought about by
the order passed Saturday afternoon hy the
court of appeals, authorizing Judge Nc
Comas TO turn over to Mrs. Slack her two
little girls, upon her giving sufficient bond
for turIr return at tne proper liIne.
Prior 10 the appea rance before Judge

fore Judge Hagner, the original justice

believed Mrs. Slack would not only leave
the District, but would leave the country

therefore, asked Tor restraining crder
against Mrs. Slack preventing her from
doing sol event she WAS given the custody
OF the little girls.
ONE JUDGE REFUSED.
Mr.. Hamilton, her attorney, and Mr..
Buckley were sent for, and appeared be-
fore Judge Hagner while the motion was
being made. Judge Bradley, in circuit
court, No. / refused % grant Mr. WorthDg-
ton the privilege uf going TO the assistance
OF Mr.. Hamilton. After lengthy arGu-
ment of counsel ON all sides, JuGge Hagner
announced that he would take the matter

Hamilton reviewed the happenings since
last Friday. and asked that, in pursuance

Mr. Carlisle made q request for an ex-
tension of time.
Judge McComas answered that he would
leave the city tonight, and gave Mr..
Carlisle until 1:45 O'Clock to make answer
sPRANG \ SURPRISE.
At g o'clock Mr.. Hamilton came into court
and read an amended oTder that he had just
secured from Justices Shepard and Nor
rls. not only authorizing, but directing
Judge McCnmas TO turn the little girls
over to their mutlfer.
A stiil greater surprise was sprung when
he next produced an order from the same
justices ordering the court sitting in equity
TO des!st from taking any further steps
whatever" in the matter.
The order thus made the decision of Judge
Hagner, promised for tomorrow. OF no
effect in The event it Were handed down
Mr.. Carlisle asked the court to give him
time to make a few additional remarks in
addition to reading the answer he had pre-
pared during recess. as he announced he
would do. The answer protested that he
court had no Jurisdiction.
Alter carefully TeddlLg the orders in the
casc Judge MCComaS said: "A liter reading

little girls to be given 10 their mother |
shall now pass a II order directing that the V

PENSIONING TEACHFRS

In Cleveland. Ohio. the proposition is
up to pension school teachers. As in
other places where the question has
been raised. much opposition 10 the
project has developed. particularly
among the teachers themselves. 1t is
argued that il will degrade the profess
sion. 1t has been proposed that a vote
OF the Cleveland teachers be taken
through the mails. but this scheme is
vigorously combatced by the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. which demands that the
teachers hold a public meeting. discuss
the question pro and con. and take a
vote by roll call The Plain Dealer de-
clares that lit is as certain as that

THE FIGHT.

The big fight. while not a big fake,
was essentially big fizzle. In no re-
spect did IL meet the expectations of its
projectors and managers. or of its aid
ers and abettors. The kaleidoscope peo-
pie, who are said to have spent $4,000
in the enterprise, didn't get picture.
1t is a theme for congratulation that
the fight did not take place in the
United States. Jim Corbett was doubt
less right when he declared the other
day that there will never be another
public battle fought in this country for
the heavyweight championship. Pugil-
ism has had it's day in America It's
decline is to be attributed not so much
TO it's brutal features-in reality 1t is no
more brutal than wrestling, and not
half so brutal as football. But modern
pugilistic contests cannot be Invested
OF fakes and frauds and swindles of
every sort. The public is disguised
with the whole business. 1t is thor

A CABINET DINNER.

President Cleveland and his cabinet
appear TO be enjoying themselves this

is or not. We read of an elaborate and
unique cabinet dinner given a few
evenings ago by Hoke Smith. In the

lake, filled with inanimate ducks and
small fish. of the kind the president
likes 10 catch. BY his plate was a

more than a patriot. he was a philan-
thropist of the highest type; he en-
deavored to establish a government in
accord with the loftiest ideals of hui
mainly and civilization. His Ameri-
canism was broad and tolerant but deep
and strong. We may well ponder to-
day a portion of his farewell address
as he stepped down from the presi-
dency. In relation to unity and liberty
he said:
The unity of government, which
constitutes you one people. is also now
dear to you. Ii is justly so, for IL is a
main pillar in the edifice of your real
independence; the support of your tran
guilty at home. your peace abroad; of
your safety; of your prosperity; of that
very liberty which you so highly prize.

different causes and from different
quarters. much pains will be taken.
