A FORTUNATE POLITICIAN.
The Fates Have Been Kind to Bellamy
storer of Cincinnati.

Storer of Cincinnati.
Bellamy Storer, the newly appointed
minister to Belgium, Is an ex-congress-
man and one of the leading lawyers Of
Cincinnati. His father was Judge Bellamy
Storer, the distinguished Ohio jurist who
studied law under Daniel Webster and aft
erward became prominent in national pol
itics.
Mr.. Storer was born in Cincinnati just
so years ago and has always made that
city his home He was graduated from
Harvard in 1867 and Immediately after
began the study Of law. In two years he
had been admitted to the bar and appoint
ed assistant United States attorney for the
southern district of Ohio. In 1873 he be-
gan to build up his own practice, which
for many years has been large one.
In addition to having had distin-
guished father, Mr.. Storer has had the ad-
vantage of having a wealthy wife. He
married Maria Longworth, daughter OF
Nicholas Longworth, who made more than
| $40, 900, 900 by producing Ohio wines. His
daughter inherited all his wealth, and she
had not been Mrs. Bellamy Storer long
before she acquired social and political
ambitions She determined to run hei
husband for congress. This was in 1890
1t was a bad year for Republicans, and
Mr.. Storer lived in Democratic district
besides. But this did not discourage Mrs

The grand jury at Chicago has re-
turned indictments against President
Charles w. spalding and four other
officers of the defunct Globe savings
bank in Chicago. There are twenty-nine
indictments against Spalding, in thir-
teen of which he is charged with em.
bezzlement, and the other officials of the
bank, including the cashier, assistant
cashier, the vice president, and one
director, are accused of accepting de-
posits after they knew the bank was in
solvent. This failure seems to have
come through most rascally manage
ment and hundreds of coniuing deposit
tors are swindled.

THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION OF
1898.

Our Republican friends constantly
claim that the Mckinley tariff law was a
great blessing and gave us prosperity.
They forget the commercial crisis Of 1893,
which occurred during the frat nine
months of that year and tor a time
paralyzed business; and this under the
Mckinley law.
The following table, furnished by
Bradstreet's, will be found in the World
almanac for 1894, page l76. 1t gives the
business failures during the years from
1882 till 1898, inclusive. We give few

Republican party is the willing tool of

aid in campaigns. That our constitu-
ton recognizes gold and silver only as
money and a tender in payment OF

That there is no law on our
statute books that makes gold the only
standard of value. On the contrary the
Matthews resolution, which passed Con-
gress by an overwhelming vote, Mr.
Mckinley voting for it, declares empha

That our hard times are caused by

without Once Asking "what's Trumps9"
There was time when American whist
players spoke with scorn Of the feminine
devotees of the game The funny man
made her foibles the subject Of his most
sarcastic paragraphs, and she would have
been regarded as an intruder In any tour
nament. But times have changed and
opinions with them. The immortal Sarah
Battle now has an army of faithful disciples
who have adopted for their own her famous
motto, "a clear fire, clean hearth and
the rigor Of the game"

the Union and formed the National Whist
League For Women. They played the game,

TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE.

SO the tariff bill was reported to the
Senate on Tuesday from the finance
committee, and Senator Aldrich in pre-
senting it said it would be called up for
consideration on the 18th Of May. The
retroactive clause is abandoned, and the
time for the dill to go into effect is fixed
for the commencement of the fiscal year,
the lst of July.
Republican papers strongly approved
the Dingley bill as it passed the house,
but now they will have to change their
views, for the bantling in the Senate is
not the same child at all. The amend
ments are said to be about one thou.

materially. The Dingley rates on GER

reduced otherwise all along the line.
They thus confess that the measure is
failure as regards revenue by the imposi-
ton of an increased tax OF "A cents
barrel on beer, the present tax being 81
a barrel, and the imposition Of tax Of
10 cents pound on tea, which has been
on the free list since the war. The in
creased tax on beer and the tax on tea,
however, are limited, and will expire on
the 1st of January, 1900. Rather smart
removing them the year of the Presi-
dental election.
The Western silver Senators got the
wool schedule considerably changed,
Only 8 and 8 cents pound is allowed
on fine wools, such as is produced in the
Eastern and Middle States, while on the
coarse wools, supposed to come in com
petition with Western wool, rates of

change will stir up the carpet man

shepherds. The taxes on woolen good

THE SPIRIT OF REFORM.

Political assessments should be torn
up by the roots. They have become a
fearful source of debauchery and de-.
moralization in politics. The fact that
from 81 100000 to sl,5O0,0O0 of assess.
ment robberies have been perpetrated
n this city under the rule of a single
leader, who disbursed the money accord
ing to his own will without accountable
ty to anyone, proves how utterly
vicious, corrupt and demoralizing is the
present system of political assessments.
