Mr.. ScuIvs Successor.


Mr.. James NJ. Schryver was to-day ap
pointed general passenger agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
to succeed Mr.. Charles o. Scull, who re
signed last month. Mr.. Schryver has
spent his entire business life in the ser.
vice of the company, and he is thorough
ly conversant with the details of the of
fee.
The appointment came to Mr.. Schryvel
as surprise, as it was understood that
when Mr.. Scull retired the Office would
be abolished.
Mr. Schryver was born and educated
near CircleviIle, o. He entered the rail
way service in October, 1878, serving ss
voucher rate clerk of the Baltimore and
Ohio under Mr. l.. NJ. Cole, who was then
general passenger agent of the company.
His next position was rate and division
clerk, then chief clerk. which he held un
til he was promoted to assistant general
passenger agent in August, 1889.
Manager of Passenger Traffic Martin
paid Mr.. Schryver high compliment to-
day when he said to reporter for the
News 81 have known Mr.. Schryver for
several years, and thoroughly appreciate
the loyal support given by him to his su-
perior officers during the different admin
istrations, which loyalty he has always
shown me- The management recognizes
his thorough knowledge of the general
situation and ability to conduct the pas
senger affairs, and for these reasons it af-
forded me much qualification to promote

he ways and means committee:

of State James G. Blaine in 1890 is
supposed to have had great weight with
the ways and means committee:
WAsHIxGroS, April 10, I9oQ
DEAR Mr.. McKIELEx-It Is q great mistake
to take hides from the free list, where they
have been for many years 1t is slap in
the face TO the South Americans, with whom
we are trying to enlarge our trade It viii
benefit the farmer by adding to 8 per cent to
the price Of his children's shoes 1t viii yield
q profit to the butcher only, the last man that
needs it. The movement is iniudicious from
beginning to end, In every form and phase
Pray stop it before it sees light. Such move
ments this for protection will protect the
Republican party into a speedy retirement
Yours hastily, JAMES G.. BLAINE
Hon William Mckinley. Chairman Ways and
Means
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share of protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by duty
ON hides? 1t is perfectly consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk of the tax would
probably go to a few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some of
the effects upon our industries:
The importations of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at S20.-
216, 52s. The goatskins were valued at
$40, S03, ,959. The former We're mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatslins are not produced in this
country.
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products of the value of $40, 242, 756.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible, and our own people, as Mr..
Blaine pointed out, would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid to'our workers in leather
last year amounted to $25, 542, 166.

The bill providing for settlement
of differences between Blount and
Loudon Counties was taken up and
Mr.. Cassidy spoke for the bill aud
Mr.. Rowan against it. 1t seems that
Blount County subscribed $I2o, 900
to the Knoxville & Virginia Railroad
Company. Loudon County was
afterwards organized and the "Blount
faction" OF Loudon has since resist
ed payment of tolls. Numerous
lawsuits have resulted and the
"BIOunt faction" claims $50, 900 paid
should be accounted for.
For new member, Representative
Cassidy, of Louden, scored quite
victory yesterday in the passage of
his bill which provides that Blount
County shall account to Loudon
County for money paid on an old
railroad bond debt. The bill was
opposed by Representative Rowan,
of Blount, who is an old member and
one oflthe most popular members of
the House. Both gentlemen are
lawyers and made able speeches for
and against the bill, but when the
roll was called the bill, passed by
a vote of ayes 81, noes SO, and now
goes to the Senate for consideration.
