THE Republican tariff bill, which
was presented in Congress on Monday,
is modelled after the same old plan.
For instance, the increased tax on
sugar, based on last years importa-
tions, is SCI, 100000, while on liquors
it is 81, 100000; on silks the increase
is but 81 100000, while on woolens
and cottons it IS $19,3OOOOO. The
man in ordinary circumstances, it will
be seen, will have his full share of the
burden.

THE statement is made that Senator
Elkins has concluded to endorse Mrs,
Kenna, widow Of Senator John Z.
Kenna, for reappointment as post
master at Charleston, this State, and
that large proportion Of the people
of that city, without regard to party,
have signed petitions asking for her
retention. She has conducted the
Charleston postofice in the most ad-
mirable manner, and it is said no Office
in the State can show a better record
for efficiency, We hope the President
will reappeint her. 1t would be a
graceful recognition Of her excellent
service, and would be a pleasing re-
minder that there are some things Of
more account than partisan politics.
If Senator Elkins has endorsed Mrs.
Kenna it should raise him in the esti-
nation Of all West Virginians.

THE impression continues to grow
that the new administration will not
turn out Democratic officials by the
wholesale simply in order to make
room for Republican office-seekers. 1t
is stated upon the very highest au-
thority that in the case Of presidential
postmasters all Democratic postmasters
now in Office will be permitted to re-
main until the expiration of their
terms, and that no removals will be
made except for sufficient cause. 1t is
understood that this rule Will be ap-
piled to all internal revenue and GUS
toms collectors, to United States mar
shals and many other federal officials
not included in the classified civil SER
vice.
Plscards have been posted in the
State Department in Washington, an
nouncing that only nine positions in
that branch of the government are
outside the civil service rules. AS
few die and none resign the outlook
is bad for the office-seeker in this de,
partment.

The San Francisco Post says that
money has been raised in that city
to pass law licensing lottery in
Nevada, and the Legislature will be
asked to consider the matter. The
Legislature Of 1889 favored such a
measure, and q special election was
called to make amendments to the
Constitution, for that and other
measures. Had the people voted
for the measure State lottery
would now be an established thing
in Nevada, and from $4,000 to
100000 per year would have been
put into an irrigation fund for the
purpose of storing water for irriga-
ton, building dame, etc. But at
that time people seemed to prefer
the idea of buying their lottery
tickets away from home and send
ing their money away. It is doubt
ful if they have changed their
minds yet.

THERE is some speculation as to
what Cuba will do with the offer of
reforms made by Spain. There need
be no such speculation. Cuba is not
fighting for reforms under Spanish
rule. She is fighting for freedom
and independence, and the war will
never be over until that is gained.
The United States, at no distant
day, will see where she missed it
greatly by not espousing Cuba's
cause, and helping her to gain her
freedom. The island ought to belong
to this country, and if it is not tax
en- now it may come into England's
possession in the future.

We ARE bound to remember that
while some poverty. perhaps mnch,
is due to crime, there is great deal
that is not the fault of those who
are suffering it, To speak more
plainly, the commercial conditions
are making it increasingly hard to

mercy of men OF great ability and
no conscience. The bread we eat,
the clothes we wear, the coal we
burn, the books we read, the oil we
use for lighting, the paper OH our
walls, are under control of others
besides the consumers.
God did not intend that the ne
cessities of life should he out of the
reach of faithful toll. Hundreds OF
people today are being deliberately
deprived Of the opportunities OF
work and business by the ambition
and selfishness of a few men. COM

NEVADA.

Col. r. A. ALGER, who is billed
for the Cabinet position OF Secretary
of War, has for many years been
held up to the people Of the country
as a model Of bravery, generosity
true manliness. He is a man, who
after the war, made millions of dol
lars in timber land speculation, and
his money, it would seem, has been
the main cause OF his greatness.
His war record, which has recently
been dug up, may be disappointing
to many who really thought Alger
was soldier. According to Gem
erals Sheridan, Merritt, Custer and
Torbert the muster rolls show that
Alger, who belonged to the Fifth
Michigan Cavalry, was absent NTH
out Leave about every time there was
an engagement with the enemy, and
that it was only through the kind
ness of President Lincoln that he
was saved from dishonorable dis
charge from the army. After the
war was over, and when at the be-
hest OF politicians breyets were scat
tered around like Autumn leaves,
Alger succeeded in capturing two.
He was breveted Brigadier and Ma
jnr General of Volunteers, and be-
came a hero and patriot. And
this is the man who Mckinley has
chosen to be Secretary of War. It
will not surprise many Pacific Coast
people to learn of Ayers record,
for they have doubted his integrity
since he made a bid for the Silver
mems support the time he had the
Presidential bee in his bonnet. He
posed for some time as free coin
age man, but when the battle was
on he followed out his old policy of
running away. He did worse, in
fact. he went over to the enemy.
McKinley's Cabinet may well be
called the "Infirmary."
