POP POLICY
The Tariff a Good Thing to Lot
Alone

WASHINGTON, March ga joint
caucus of the Populist members of the
senate and house was held this evening
to discuss the course of the party to-
wards the tariff bill. AS a result, an adj
dress was issued which says that the
tariff has been the battledore and shut
tlecock of politics for more than 100
years, and it's final settlement is more
distant than when the controversy be-
gan. The country. it states, has always
experienced hard times when there is
contraction of the money volume, no
matter whether the tariff was high or
low. The address declares that all pre-
vious tariff legislation and the bill now
pending contains many unjust discrimi-
nations, working hardships on some In =
dustries and unreasonably fostering
others The treasury deficiency is cred
tied to the decision of the supreme court
against the income tax law. and the
most efficient method of supplying the
deficiency it is claimed. would be the
reconciliation of silver. In conclusion
Il says if the Populists refrain from vot-
irg for or against the Dingley bill on It's
final passage. it will avoid even the ap-
pearance of promoting the continuance
of tariff agitation to sidetrack the vital
and overshadowing questions of finan-
cial and monopoly reforms, and also avoid
giving countenance to the contention
that any tariff legislation, however wise
and just could remove existing evils
and bring general prosperity"

PURE TEAS
Cannot Be Secured Without Expert
Examination

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The board
of ten experts appointed by the cecre-
tary of the treasury to select standards
of teas. pursuant to the act of congress
to prevent the importation of impure and
unwholesome tea, have submitted a re-
port in which they state that they have
selected such standards as in their
opinion will represent the intention of
the bill regarding purity, quality and
fitness for consumption. The report
adds: 1.-THE board recommended, first,
that the comparison of standards with
teas delivered shall be made not only
with regard to flavor. but particularly
in regard to the appearance of the leaf.
In color of the infused leaf and in free
dom from admixture with black and
decayed leaf, all teas should be equal
to the standards, but any consideration
of the make or SO called style of the dry
leaf should be omitted. The leaf of the
infused must equal the standard in free
dom from scum, gritty substance and
leaf made up of dust and copgre (rice
pastel. The board further recommensd
that your department issue instruc-
tions that all teas shall be la beled with
their proper trade names, SO as to avoid
palpable fraud in the use of false la
bells. The Importance of this point has
been pressed upon them by the trade,
and they cannot too strongly emphasize
| it, particularly referring to green teas,
of which the Ping Suey kind have been
| heretofore labeled Moyune, the former
being an inferior and the latter eu-
perior tea. We therefore respectfully
urge upon you as of supreme Importance
| that the examiners should be not only
thoroughly honest and trustworthy but
| also experts in tea.
| THAT the incumbents at New York
and Chicago meet these requirements,
the board has no question, but as the ex-
aminer at San Francisco is not an ex-
pert in tea, but chemist having suffi-
cient knowledge of the article, 1t is a bso-
lutely necessary that a person possess
ing the proper qualifications should be
appointed tp that port"
BEFORE THE FACT.
| WASHINGTON, March 29-The
proposition that all goods imported after
certain date, before the enactment OF
the new tariff bill, shall be made to pay
| the duties carried by the bill, is likely
to crystallize into definite form. sub

clare thet all imports made on and after

DENTAL EXAMINERS
May Refuse to Grant License to
Practice

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2s.-The
supreme court today handed down an
opinion which established the power
given to the state board Of dental ex-
aminers by the statute to refuse to issue
certificate to practice dentistry in this
state. John d. Van Week was a regu-
lar graduate from the American college
of dental surgery of Chicago. receiving
diploma In 1894. The board of dental
examiners refused to issue the certifi-
cate on the ground that Van Week had
not taken the prescribed course and that
the college was not a reputable one.
Van Week brought an action in mandate
against the board and the lower court
granted him relief, from which the board
appealed.
The supreme court holds that the func-
tions of the board are of a quasi-judi-
cial nature and that 1t has the power to
decide whether or not the diploma pre-
sented is Of the proper character con-
templated by the statute.
