HON. JOHN DALZELL
Gives Somewhat OT-Hand Opinion as to
the Tariff


the Tariff.
London, October 3.-Congressman
John Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, with
his wife and son, sailed for New York
yesterday, from Southampton, on
board the American line steamer St.
Louis, after passing several weeks in
England, Ireland and France. In an
interview he said unquestionahly there
would be famine in Ireland. Refer
ring to the United States tariff Con-
gresham Dalzell said:
L have had very little opportunity
to observe the effects of the tariff, but
l judge it is fulfilling our anticipa-
lions and that it will give American
merchants, manufacturers and work
men more to do. I am led to say this
from the fact that all the business men
| have met in Europe are denouncing
it and complaining that it has Iessened
their business. This is particularly the
case with the merchants of Paris, who
complain that their American trade has
decreased

A PRETTY BAD RECORD.

L dlILnOHC INDEX
Down in Kanawha county there is a
president of the County Court who has
recently been on trial under charges
ranging from petty thieving to felo-
MES. The grossest immOralities are
also alleged against him. The best citi-
zens of that county are engaged in his
prosecution. He has been tried and
escaped conviction by the ''skin Of his
teeth ten jurors having agreed that
he was guilty, and two, without as
signing any reasons for their action,
having stubbornly resisted the find
ing of the majority until the judge
discharged them as unable to agree on
verdict. Notwithstanding this fail
ure on the part Of the jury, the general
public knows he is guilty. His reputa-
ton, as disclosed on the trial, is most
unsavory one, and his name will here
after be regarded in Kanawha county
as the synonym. of official peculation
and gross immortality.

In the great majority of cases the

tramping to working. Mendicancy and
theft are more congenial to him than

SOME PRESS OPINIONS.

THE TREASURY AND THE TARIFF
We do not find the Treasury state
ment ion the month just closed so Hat
tering al it seems to the advocates or
the Dingiey-Aldrich tariff. Here is the
plain fact:
Receipts ]. -. ............ 2l,sSS,usS
Denclt -. So,foo,sIs
This brings the total deficit for the
first quarter of the fiscal year up to
S29,015,9 Had there not been an al
vance in the internal revenue receipts
of 100000 the deficit would have
been much larger We are told by the
friends of high tariff that by the close
of the next quarter the Treasury VIII
make both ends meet, and then all VIII
be clear sailing. In one sense that is
true. Thanks to the large reserve put
in the Treasury by Mr. Cleveland 5
much-abused loans, there is no imme-
date danger of having to borrow.
Moreover, should the Government let
the Pacific Railroad foreclosure go
ahead, it will get some s46,000,0O0 from
that source-a veritable godsend. But
after that either the Dingley rates will
protect" and prevent imports, in which
case a deficit will continue. or imports
will be large enough to make up the
deficit, in which case where is the
protection" New York Times.

AS TO SCHOOL BOOKS.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The ''West Virginia School Journal
for September" carries an advertise
ment for publishing house, which
says: Books for use in West Virginia
schools adopted by the school book
commission" @e. The advertisement
is misleading, and should be excluded,
for the reason that it is misleading.
The law of 1895 creating a school book
commission has been repealed, and an
entirely different system of choosing
books was substituted by the last Leg
islature.
The only books that can be lawfully
used are such as may be adopted by
the respective county boards, except
in Independent school districts, where
the board of education select the
books.
