WASHINGTON.

The efforts to secure the removal Of
United States District Attorney Hall by
inducing him to resign, or by oustiug
him summarily. were given a finaI
quietus at the Department of Justice
last Thursday when Senator Penrose
called, it is supposed at the instance
of Quay, to make last appeal for the
immediate appointment of ex-Congress
man Heiner
The Attorney General mas not h1Uher-
to given any explicit answer to frequent
recent arguments OF this character; but
when Penrose become somewhat dicta
torjal she was told that Mr. Hall
would not be removed; that his resigna
tion had not been asked for, and would
not be, and that he would be permitted
to serve the brief remnant of his term
without being disturbed.
The Attorney General intimated that
it was not specially mplimentary tc
Heinz and his friends that they should
connive at the dismissal of an officer
against whom there were no charges,
and that such performance would be
Of no benefit to the prospective appoin-
tee.
1t is believed the sole reason for the
movement is that Quay and Heiner have
been somewhat alarmed at the growing
strength of Higgins, Of Erie, and the
efforts making to secure the Attorney
ship for him
Drs, G. L. Campell, and S. NJ. Bippu:
have been appointed Pension Examin
ing surgeons for Butler Co.
R. NJ Stewart of Efownsdale and
A. NJ. Borlapd of Butler have been
granted pensions.

POLITICAL.

The fuss that is made oyer the loss of
Secretary Sherman memory should not
cause it to be overlooked that the same
complaint has affected other eminent
gentlemen The Republican leaders of
this State seem to have had bad at
tack of it. concerning their own pledges,
and in their arrangements for the future
they hope for nothing better for them
selves than that the forgetfulness shall
become epidemic among the people.
Dispatch.
At the meeting of the Business Mems
Republican League in Philadelphia last
Thursday the candidacy of Major Nc
Cauley. of Chester county, for Auditor
General, was indorsed, but the com
mittee refrained from any Endorsement
of a candidate for State Treasurer. The
following resolutions were UNANIMOUSLY
adopted:
Whereas, We, the Business Men
Republican League of the State OF
PENNSYLVANIA, in our battle to protect
the peoples interests from unjust and
vicious legislation, and against the
Vaccinations of selfish and insolent
dictatorship, are pledged strictly
within party lines-to support candl-
dates of ability and fitness, regardless
of factions or their affiliations, believ-
ing that the essential step towards I'M
proved political methods is the election
of better men to office; and
Whereas. 1t was thought that the
passage of the bill requiring interest on
State deposits would deprive the State
Treasurership contest of any vital issue,
| but the shameless and persistent as
saults upon the State Treasury by the
mileage gra5bers" and Treasury loot
ers" during the last session of the Legis-
lature have demonstrated that the con-
| duct of the Office of the State Treasurer
is still of vital Importance to every tax
| payer, and make it necessary to elect
as its guardian man whose vault keys
shall not be merely the will of a po-
| litical boss, and
Whereas, The widespread discomfort
| and disgust pervading the rank and tlle
of the Republican party in Pennsyl-
| vania, because of long continued ''one-
| man domination, should be met by
| the selection of men as candidates for
| Auditor General and State Treasurer of
| unimpeachable character and marked
independence, free from those influences
that longer render possible or encour=
age Treasury raids therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we heartily indorse
| the candidacy of Major Levi c. McCau'
ley, of Chester county, for Auditor
| General, and pledge him the active and
ernest support of this organization
| believing his sterling Republicanism,
splendid qualifications and indepen-
dence to especially fit him for that Of
| fee; and be it further
Resolved, That we earnestly admon-
ish the party managers, if they have
honest regard for Republican welfare,
to take heed of the threatening storm
of righteous disapproval, by nominating
for State Treasurer man who posses
ses the confidence ot the party, and
and whose best boast is not that ''he is
the creature of boss.

The evening edition of the Morning
Times died Saturday night, on which
date the contract between the proprie-
tor and the Associated Press terminal
ed. The paper was an expense of $50
per week to Mr.. Hart, and there was
really nothing in it. There is now no
day report from the Associated Press,
coming into this city. The day report
OF the United Press is the only day
service, and that is published in the
HERALD.
The papers southwest of Denver are
furnished by both press associations
with what is known as pony report,
condensed from the full leased wire re-
ports of the day and night. The full
a. z. day report is about 16, 900 words.
and the full night report about 1000
words more. The trouble with the
Associated Press reports sent down into
the southwest country is, that the pony
Is made up in Denver, and is largely of
what goes on in the Idaho panhandle,
Montana, Wyoming and other terrific
rleS of no especial interest to Texas
and southern New Mexico readers who
want and have not succeeded in getting
from the a. 2. southern news. If
the service were received from Dallas
there would be different tale to tell.
But there is no paper between Fort
Worth and Ell Paso that is able to pav
for press service, and the distance is
too great to warrant the expense of
Dallas service. So the A. p. sends
down northern news from Denver for
its southern patrons to growl over.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The reassem-
bly, of the senate this morning after q
fortnight's holiday was unmarked by
noticeable incidents. Visitors were few
and the senators had a listless air as if
the Cuban question was only a dream.
The chaplain prayed for the restoration
of the peoples industries and pros

The senate committee on finance met
this morning. There was no business
as there was no quorum.
Senator Call fla, offered a re-
solution today requesting the president
to send all correspondence and reports
relating to arrest and Imprisonment of
Julio Sanguilly, U. S. citizen. He
also introduced joint resolution in
structing the president to Demand

Both resolutions were laid over

tion introduced by Senator PETER for

4 Great Educator Gone.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 5.-General
| Francis a. Walker, president of the
| Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
and widely known writer on economies,
died this morning from appoplexy.
General Walker was not only emf
nent in politico-ecouomic circles, but
was also prominent in commercial life.
He was chairman of the Interstate
commerce commission, and in business
ethecs generally he was considered an
authority. General Walker graduated
at Amherst in 1860. He was given the
degree of doctor of philosophy by his
Alma Mater in 1915, and in 1888 the
degree of doctor of laws was conferred
on him by Amherst, and in 1881 by
Harvard, and in 1887 by Colum bia, and
by Dublin University in 1892. Before
being made president of the Institute
of Technology at Boston, General
Walker was the professor there of
political economy and history. He was
also member of the National Acade-
my of science, and had the degree of
master of arts given him by Yale.

No Compromise.

To the DAILY HERALD:-It was with
great pleasure that [ read your ''Te
Salutamus' in your issue of last Satur-
day, to know that at least one of our
city papers Is willing to stand up for
III rights of the Door man. You saw
1--WE shall try to live up to full reali-
zatlon OF our duty as newspaper, that
OF tribune OF the people, speaking out
in defense OF the Oppressed.'' [ have
an idea that you will have abundant
opportunity to do so in the future when
those delinquent taxpayers are being
pushed to the wall, and say: "Oh. [
will compromise this business and paw
one half of what L justly owe" and will
further say to Mr.. Collector (be he Mr.
Patterson or any one else) that when
the city ordinance was framed in refer
ence to the collection of taxes, Alder
man Stewart said that something was
done so as to allow the city to compro-
mise tax suits. Now in all fairness |
ask if it would be not only an oppression
but an outrage on the man who is
honest enough to pay his taxes, for the
city to compromise with those who are
disposed to stand the tax collector off
for six or eight years for the sake of
a compromise. Is it possible that our
city fathers intend to offer inducements
to any one who will but try to beat the
city out OF its revenues. O. T. DIX,

J.B. McCuIlagb's Funeral.

The great editor was buried Sunday
His remains which lay in casket of
cedar covered with black broadcloth,
were in the parlor, surrounded by many
evidences of love and esteem. in the
way of floral offerings from co-workers
and others at home and abroad. Some
time before the hour set for the SER
vices a considerable number of persons
passed before the casket and viewed
the remains. On top of the plain cas-
ket the eyes met a square plate on
which was inscribed: AT rest. Joseph
b. McCullagh.' -
Rev. John Snyder, of the Unitarian
church of the Messiah, paid a beautiful
tribute to the dead in a few well chosen
words. The active pallbearers were
members of the GlobeDemOcrat edito
rial staff and head of departments.
Among the honorary pallbearers
were the editors of the other ST. Louis
papers and men prominent in political
and business life in the city.
Hon. Henry Watson, editor of the
Louisville COurier-JOurual, was the
only one from out of town. The inter
ment was in the Mckee family lot al
Bellfontaine cemetery.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 5.-The
seventh days session of the ways and
means committee, was devoted to the
agricultural schedule, including live
animals, dairy products, fruits, fish,
meats. etc. w. H. Rockwell. of Penn
sylvania, engaged in raising and fat
tenning cattle in Kansas and Mexico
was first speaker. He said that under
the Mckinley law cattle cannot be i'm
ported from Mexico as the tariff is
prohibitive. He had started d business
10 Arizona, but the dry season forced
him to Mexico. The Kansas farmer,
he said, was greatly benefited by
bringing cattle from Mexico to Kansas
where they were fattened. The cattle
men paid Kansas farmers more for
their grain than the farmers could
make by raising the cattle themselves
Only half the membership of the
house was present when reassem bled
today after holiday recess. The gal
leries were we'll filed. Before the
house proceeded to the regular busi-
ness of considering the Loud bill, fix
ing the grade of second class postal

Tariff Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Representa
tive Curtis, of Kansas, asked for duty
of $40 per head on cattle, 50 per hea(
on calves. Kansas raisers and feeders
he said, we're Injured, not benefited by
the Importation of Mexican cattle
Representative Bowers, of California
then took up the fruit trade.
We want to raise present rates on
| fruit, as the law now affords no pro
lection to growers. A member of the
committee suggested that an increase
in duty would raise the price to con-
sumers. Mr.. Bowers replied it would
not; on the contrary California fruit
growers would guarantee increased pro-
duction and decrease in prices. On
raisins, prunes, plums and all dried
fruit, he asked duty of 3 cents pound.
On oranges requested duty Of 2 cents
per cubic foot. If fruit growers
were given fair protection a
million yearly sent abroad for fruit,
would be kept at home. Senator Per-
kins of California presented a memo
rialf rom the fruit growers of his state
and endorsed what his colleague had
said.
Mr.. Armstrong, of California, said
almond growers had almost been ruin
ed by the present law, and asked an
increase in duty from three to six
cents per pound. Davis Lobin. of Cali
forn1a, requested an export duty on all
agricultural products.
