Judge Bradley Orders Verdict of Acquit-
tai, Exhaustive Opinion Rendered.
WASHINGTON, June lin the case
of John E. Searles, the sugar trust wit
ness, Judge Bradley ordered the jury
to bring in a verdict of acquittal. hold
ing the questions asked by the senate
committee to be not pertinent, and if
so not within the jurisdiction of the
committee.
The judges opinion was exhaustive.
He pointed out that Searles had testi-
fed that no money had been con-
tributed by the sugar trust to the
national campaign for the purpose of
influencing legislation or the election
of United States senators. The ques-
tious put to the defendant were claimed
to be pertinent to the second and third
divisions of the senatorial inquiry,
namely, as to whether the sugar trust
had contributed sums to the campaign
with the purpose of influencing the
election of senators and whether any
senator had been party to compact
with the sugar trust.
The judge said simple investigation
as to whether the trust had contributed
to the campaign fund would Re an un-
warranted search into the private af-
fairs of the company, and plainly be-
yond the power of the senate. If the
money had gone for the purpose of
electing members of the legislature
who would elect United States sena-
tor, it would be beyond the power of
the senate to go behind the election Of
the legislative members.
Judge Bradley sustained the motion
of the defense and ordered the jury to
return verdict of acquittal, which
was rendered accordingly, and Searles
was free.

a TARIFF COMMISSION.


The American people are heartily
tired of tariff tinkering and the conse-
quent disturbance of all lines of busi-
ness, and are ready to adopt almost
any method that will prevent frequent
changes being made in the tariff laws,
so that they will be allowed to engage
in business with the assurance that
there will be no such radical and sud-
den changes as will cripple or destroy
any branch of trade or commerce.
But it is questionable If they are yet
ready to accept the tariff commission
provided for in the bill introduced by
Representative Fowler. of New Jersey.
After providing for the appoinu-
ment by the president, with the
consent of the senate, OF tariff
commission to consist OF eight mem
bers whose term of Office shall be
twenty-one years and the term of one
to expire very three years, and his
place to be filled by appointment, SO
that the board shall always consist of
eight members, it fixes the duties of
the commission as follows:
"That it shall be the duty of
said commission to investigate all
questions of federal taxation and an
nually make a report to the president
of the United States on or before the
first day of November, with such recon-
mendatious for changes in import
duties and internal-reyenue taxes as
they may deem wise and proper.
THAT such tariff commission shall
have power, by and with the written
approval of the president of the United
States, to suspend. any part or the
whole of any tax upon imports or of
any internal tax which may have been
imposed by the congress of the United
States: Provided, however, that sucn
suspension shall take effect only upon
the following conditions:
''First. It may take effect immedia-
tely if the recommendation has the
unanimous support of said commission
and receives the written approval 3f
the president of the United States.
Third. 1t may take effect two
years after the date of recommendation
of at least four of the said commission
ers and the written approval of the
president of the United States.
''Sec. 4. That said commission is
hereby authorized to visit the different
sections of the United States with
view of studying local conditions or of
sending a committee of their mum Der
to any foreign country or countries for
the purpose of collecting informrtion
that will better enable them to perform
the duties of said commission.
Such commission as is provided In
this bill might be beneficial in ad.
justing tariffs to suit the requirements
of commerce and at the same time
create sufficient revenue with which to
conduct the government, and would
prevent radical and sudden changes.
Too, it would take the tariff out of |
politics largely and prevent it being
made party football at each succeed
ing election. But it would be, dele. |
eating powers to a commission that
belong to congress, and
u centralize the power of regulat-
=. too few hands. While it

NATIONAL PROFLIGACY.

Economy and retrenchment are trite
phrases as to public expenditures, but
the extravagance goes on. There is a
deficit in the national treasury of
$40, ,000, 900, but to meet it there is no
thought OF economy, only increased
taxation. Think of whirling and jam
ming through the house of represent
atives, as happened month ago, ap-
preparation bills calling for $40, ,0O0, 600
without an hours debate or consider
alton, and half the members ignorant
of their provisions. That is typical of
the times. The people are crazy on
public expenditures. An idea seems
to permeate them that it is only
matter of few more bonds and a few
additional taxes. Yet every dollar
every pennyTmust come from their
pockets. There is no other way in the
world to get money into the public
treasures. The unjust system of
taxation in vogue largely exempts
wealth fromany share of the burden,
and puts it on the necessities of the
people-on their food, shelter and
clothing. D
On this surfeit of profligate waste
and expenditure the following is
taken from a thoughtful and able
article by j. Sterling Morton, ex-
secretary of agriculture, which recently
in the "Forum:"
THE day of retrenchment, or the
day of ruin, for this government is

Ssates in the not remote future. We

Recent events connected with the

toward the oppressed. A Havana dis
patch says that at San Antonio de los

having been in town two days without
food, asked permission from the mill

How He Clinched His Appointments as
United States Marshal.
Zone of General Shelby saving traits
was his ability to say exactly the right
thing to the right man in the right
place. A heavy fight was made ON him
when he was a candidate for the mar
shalship. His opponents had told Presi-
dent Cleveland that Shelby had been
concerned in the assassination of the Of
f1cers of Cass county who had issued
some railway bonds against the wishes
of the people. Shelby prepared himself
with afidavits from leading citizens and
went to Washington. Disdaining assist
ance, he obtained a personal interview
with Mr.. Cleveland. When he entered
the executive Office, Representative
Dockery, the banker at Gallatin, one of
his bitterest opponents, was present.
I have been accused of assassina-
tiOn, Mr.. President, said General Shell
by, and have been informed that the
appointment tn the United States mar
shalship for the western district of Mis-
souri, hinges upon that charge. In JUS
tice to a Democrat want you to exam
inc these papers at your leisure.
"'You have been correctly informed,

That charge has been made. will look

Congressman Dockery interjected a
remark. 4 will bid you good morning,
Mr.. President, said the general. There
is nothing that man'-pointing to Dock
ery-'can say to me in this office or in
your presence. There are many places
in which he can meet me if he desires.
There was q distinct challenge in
his manner and glance, but it never
came to anything. Within an hour Mr..
Cleveland caused General Shelby'to be
informed that he would be given the
appointment. The entire business was
settled in less than half day. 1t was
the guiding principle of General Shell
by's life to go straight for anything that
he wanted and straight against anything
that he didn't like. ''-Detroit Free

when we moved into the country"
said Mr.. ChangOofair, 81 almost won
dered at the absolute confidence Of the
boss of the moving party. 1t was long
haul, two or three vans, and the bill a
matter of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything out of the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill. wondered what they would
do if somebody should say then that he
would call at the Office and settle or
something of that sort. But, then, /
knew was going to pay; that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff in
and collect the bill afterward of me, and
1 made up my mind that they were
keen men, who knew people when they
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not
well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us in, but
they didn't know us at the Office any
more than if they had never heard of
US. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans-it was a different crew from
that that took us out-began Juggling in
the things just as the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and wondered
again what would happen if they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept ON hustling
the things in just as if they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
after awhile the stuff was pretty
much all in-practically all but the
pianO-and l wondered why they hadn't
brought that i'll before, because I had
seen it loaded, and knew it was one of
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end of one of the vans So 1 went
out to see, and there was the piano,
right where had seen it when it was
put aboard, at the extreme rear end of
the van, while all the stuff in front had
been taken out. carried around the end
OF the piano and ON into the house. In
front of it the van was empty.
Passing through the hall, met the
head driver, the boss of the party, and
he, just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill for
the moving, and paid it on the spot.
Then, everything else having been
moved in, the whole gang tailed on to
the piano and walked it right into the
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved in
until 1 had paid the bill, bat this didn't
give me quite snch a fiattering opinion
of myself as the other way had, but it
more than confirmed my original opin-
ion of the shrewdness and ability of the
van folks. They made few mistakes and
took even fewer risks. New York
