The amusements and diversions OF the
prisoners and keepers in the DAMSEN House
otherwise called the Hotel lIolstein, and,
prior to Jan. /. 1895, the Ludlow street
Jail, vary as the wardens are changed, and
as changes are made necessary from time to
time by the escape of prisoners and the ap-
pcarance of newly committed persons. So
far as possible, the amuscments of prisoners
and Keepers are adjusted to the require
ments OF the changing seasons; and at no
time, since Jan. |, 1895, has there
been any lull in the exhilarating gayctics
which alone prevent all the prisoners incar-
ceratcd from escaping en- nid$SC. Tor. it is
well known, the mechanical appliances for
retaining them in custody ARE absurd and
whimsical. The DAMsEN plan, based on the
rule OF moral siIasion first introduced in

One result OF making RICHARD OLNEY

Concerning joint Commissions.

There appears to he some reaction in Eng
land from the confidence recently expressed
that joint commission to inquire into the
facts of the Venezuelan dispute can take the
place of our High Commission. The grow
ing conviction, indeed, that any commission
other than the one now appointed would
practically have to provide for arbitration
by the reference OF disputed points to third
party, has prrccptibly cooled British interest
in schemes of that sort.
This aspect Of the case must greatly re-

The Hon. CHARLES s. HAMLIN, Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury, delivered a
speech before the Minnesota Democratic AS
sociation mt st. Paul on Saturday last, in
which he laid down some interesting propo-
sltionS respecting tariff duties.
After condcmning the protective doctrine,
upon the ground thnt it favors II limited
nunber of special industries at the cxpcnse
OF til" whole people, Nj. HAMLIN frankly cx-
pressed his own convictions rs t. the policy
which should he adopted. I'VE should de-
nand,' he said, " that hereafter the rate of
taxation imposed by customs duties shall
be absolutely uniform, the same rate for all
inrprtntiuns. Tn" rate Of duty should be a
uniform ud rHl"rtm rate upon all articles
imported into th" United Stntcs Such rate
would be simple and easy to collect. The
scramble and content ion of favored interests
would crnse forever, and the problem of
taxation would become so simple that all
conid understand it \ duty of 30 per
cent, he also thought, would yield to the

w" notice this utterance of the Assistant
Secretary because it is the first indication
from any mcmbcro Of the present Administra-
tton that the national platform Of the Dcmoc-
racy, adopted at Chicago in 1892. is under

CARLISLE or any of their assistants; the

Did the President take the Maple or did
the Maple take the Presidents The un-
shrinking admirers of Mr.. CLEvELAND's
every act have tentatively put this question
before the public in the hope of spreading a
kindly doubt as to the true nature Of the
latter's iunkets o. board of several light
house tenders belonging to the United
States. II the President has only watched
the official movements of these vessels, Of
which his special favor has made the
Maple type, and sailed only when
her duties required her to sail. the
Maple has taken the President If he
has fired up this gallant craft and Or
dcred her forth so that he might enjoy an
other hunt for ducks, and another period of
absence from the stiiing atmosphere of an
unobsequious Congress, then the President
has taken the Maple, appropriating pu bile

ing more and more braZen from habit
The Naples vpvnge which began last

that this particular vessel could have been
engaged in her regular rounds for inspec-
tion and supply. The officer commanding

it, would be II novelty in the historyof the

Mr.. CLEVELAND took the Maple. Why
did he take it ? For the same reason that
TAFFY took the marrow bone: because he
wanted it when 1t wasn't his.
