BoMBARDED HIS FATHER.
Moses Redmond Used a Lamp and a
Brick for That Purpose.

Brick for That Purpose.
I'm hang for you,'' cried Moses Red
mond. Jr., colored, last Monday night, as
he stepped out OF his fathers house. A
few moments afterward violent crash OF
glass was heard, and Moses ran from the
place.
The whole difficulty arose over the
old mans endeayor to correct the sons
evil ways.
Monday morning, while on his way 20
work, the father heard Moses blasphem-
ing in q most violent manner. He said
nothing at the time, but when nj ght ar
rived demonstrated witt the boy for his
pad conduct, This aroused Moses anger, and
he seized a lamp aud hurled it at his
parents mead Then running out in the
alley he declared that he would hang
for his father. AS things began to get
ominously quiet without, Redmond ,sr., went
to the window despite his wlfe's warning,
to ser where young Moses had gone He
saw him with stone in hand about to hurl
it in his direction, and had hardly ducked
his head when the missile came flying
through the air, hrea king two panes of
glass into snithereens.
Redmond, jr., entered into a wholesale
denial or the facts in the police court yes
terday, but was fined $3.50 or ninety
days in jail on the charge of threats, and
$50 or sixty days for the malicious de-
struetion of property.

HEARING ON THE TARIFF
The Attorney General Listens to
Arguments on Section "a.
Hon. j. q. Carlisle. Charles e. Ham,
1in and Joseph Ninmo. Jr.. Talk
Against the 10 Per Cent Tax.

The Attorney General yesterday gave
hearing to former Secretary Carlisle. repe-
senting the Boston and Maine Railroad and
former Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Hamlin, representing the Boston Associated
Boards of Trade and the Merchants AS
sooiation OF Boston, on the question OF
the correct construction of section 22 OF
the new tariff law, which imposes a 10
per cent duty on goods imported by the
United States In foreign vessels and goods
brought into this country from Canada and
Mexico, which have come through those
countries from foreign countries not con-
tignous to the United States.
The Treasury Department has not as yet
decided RS to the meaning of the section
referring TO goods coming through Canada
ana Mexico. and has submitted the ques-
ton to the Attorney General. Up 10 the
present time the customs officers have ad-
rnitted all such goods, but have left the
entries open SO that the tax may he Inn
posed where il is intended when the de-
cision is made.
AT the hearing this morning, besides At
tomey General McKenna and Messrs. Car
Isle and Hamlin, there were present So
licitor General Richards, Gen. Payson
and Mr.. Joseph Nimmo. former special
agent OF the Treasury Department, who
has made study OF the Canada and
United States trade relations.
The nearing was a some what exten ded
one, Mr.. HamIip, Mr.. Carlisle, and Mr..
Nimmo discussing the question. 1t was
not decided by the Attorney General
who, at the conclusion OF the hearing,
requested Messrs. Carlisle and HaEllin TO
present their arguments in writing as
quickly as possible, so that no unnecessary
delay may impede the decision.
The arguments of Messrs. Hanlin and
Carlisle were in general against the i'm
position OF the tax On goods imported
directly through Canada from 4 sia, where
there is no sale transaction in Canada.
They contended that the imposition oi
such a tax would ruin an immense trade
now carried on bet ween the two countries
aud that IL would be clearly & discrimi-
mating tax and was not intended by the
law
Mr.. Nirnmo, who argued simply as an
expert, contended that the law was clearly
meant to prevent the Canadian PacifiC
Railroad from taking immense business
from our railroads. Tea was brought to
Canada from China, and then transport TED
clear across the country on the Canadian
Pacific, and admitted free Of any discrim-
mating tax by this country. The law Inn
posing tax OF 10 per cent on such goods
would cause the trade TO be direct be-
tween China or any other foreign country
and the United States.

ENGLAND'S MISTAKE
IN THE TRANSVAAL.

That the Beer should today hate the
Englishman is as absurd as If Dutch and
English should quarrel on the banks of the
Hudson or Delaware But the Dutchpan
OF South Africa does not dislike the Eng
iishmAn per Sc any more than he disHkes
the American, the Frenchman or the Ger
man. The bad feeling that has grown up
In recent years can be traced directly or in
directly to the action OF government Off
eia1S at London, or men actin G under their
orders al the Cape. Beers have had no rea-
SON to complain OF English administration
in SO far as il has been that of fellow
Africanders; anG had the home government
recognized this and reposed more confidence
In their colonial subjects at the Cape, I
doubt If to-day single newspaper of South
Africa would be printed In the Dutch Ian
guage
To be strong, government must be-
successful The government of England
has been neither strong nor successful.
The African colonies have prospeTed in
spite of their government from London,
albeit that government has been aCtuated
by Just, not to say, philanthropic, mo-
tives. In 1877, for instance, the Trans
veal was bankrupt, and politically as inn
potent as an Indian reservation. The
burghers wanted nothing bet their own
local seif-government, and made no er-
fective resistance when Sir owen Lanyon
ran up the British flag and proclaimed a
protectorate there. 1t was not in the a b.
stract, an unjust or selfish act. South
Africa was threatened with wholesa lie
native war, and the occupation at sucii a
time OF this particular territory meant lit
tie to Great Britain beyond financial re
sponsiiality. There were many English
settlers there, and these naturally clamor-
ed for protection against probable Zulu
invasion
The opportunity was magnificent, but
recklessly used In Pretoria heard from
the mouth of Africanders friendly To Eng.
land that the burghers of the Transyaal
were driven into a war of independence be-
cause of the manner in which their local
liberties Were curtailed. The Beers re-
sented deeply that the English commits
sioners should treat their most respected
representatives with naughty indifference
Men like Paul Kruger and Joubert became
ten times more important in the eyes OF
their own people, when it was noised
abroad that Sir owen Lanyon had treated
them asinferiors. Then was magnificent
opportunity to organize the United States
OF South Africa, with representative as
sembly intrusted with legislation on mat
ters OF common concern. But SO far froal
encouraging this idea, the agent OF the
London government acted In a manner thai
could not fail to excite distrust and hatred
among the people over whom he had beer
sent to rule.
