A STUDY IN FACTS.
Democratic High Tariff.


To the Editor of The Times:
1t is well known to all observers of Senate
proceedings that the Dingley-Aldrich high
tariff bill cannot pass without the aid of
Democrats, silver Republicans, and Popu-
lists Did the Republicans pass the Wilson
bill? Then why this affected gratitude on
the Democratic side of the chamber? Did
not the first year of the Wilson tariff pay
a much larger revenue to the Government
than the last year OF the Mckinley
measure? Did not the silent women of the
land overthrow Harrison, and elect Cleve-
land on account of the advance in prices?
AS a New Yorker, know that the Nc
Kinley high tariff did not raise the valua-
tion of land in the Empire State one penny
per acre in the agricultural districts. How
then can the Dingley -Aldrich bill ac-
cornplish fortunate res 1t? One universal
wall of disapproyal will certainly sweep
over the whole land from the women
when they compare prices between the
present tariff and the future law if it
goes into operation. The masses are with
out money; and no high tariff bill can pay
debts, or raise landed valuations. All
conditions have changed in this country
since the demonetization of silver.

LAMOREUX SUSTAINED.
Commissioner Acted Within the
Scope of His Authority.


Judge Lamoreux, Commissioner of the
Land Office, has dra wn first blood in the
fight between him and Secretary Francis
which came over and was accepted by Sec.
retary Bliss as heritage. When Secretary
Francis held up his decision in the Chicago
lake front case, or had intimated to him
that the matter must go over to Mr.. Bliss,
there was scene. which ended by Judge
Lamoreux going home and sending his resig-
nation 10 the President, which resignation
was received March =. Mr.. Cleveland did
not consider it, and left the matter to Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t was stated further at
the time that request would be made of
President Mckinley not to permit the resig
nation, but that the Land Commissioner
should be dismissed, and such was the gen
eral expectation from the caustic manner
in which Secretary Bliss spoke of the Land
Commissioner.
The President yesterday decided that
the charges against Judge LamoreuX Were
without foundation, and that he had acted
within the scope of his authority, and di-
rected Mr.. Bliss to accept the resignation,
which that officer promptly did, the resig gna-
ton TO take effect March 10. According
to one of those interested in the case, this
action of the President leaves the case just
as if Judge Lamoreux's S decision was
in favor of the Mckee Scrip claimants,
Benner and Lafolette. There is, how
ever, an appeal to Secretary Bliss, which
willundoubtedly be taken by Fairbanks, and
others. of Chicago. The decision of the
President appears also to make unneces
sary the proceedings instituted by Dudley
and Michener, the attorneys for the Nc
Kee claimants, for the purpose of deciding
the question Just settled in favor of these
attorneys by the President.

Burglars Enter a Liquor Store.

Samuel Rothschild reported TO the police
yesterday morning that thieves had, on
the night before. broken into his liquor
store, at No. S29 Fourteenth street nor tn
west, and stolen a quantity of whisky,
large number of cigars and 81 in money
from the cash drawer. The robbers
gained access TO the place by opening a
window in the rear, in much the same
manner as number of other robberies of
the same nature have been committed in
the past few weeks. 1t is believed that
the thieves are members OF the colored
gang who have been operating quite eX-
tensively of late upon numerous down
town establishments. Detectives Boyd,
Helan and Lacey, who have been working
upon the case, have already arrested
five of the alleged thieves, and have
evidence of several housebreakings against
them which will, if convicted, retire them
for some time.
