Tough Republican Hides.

Republican members of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance are represented as con-
filent that they will he able to dodge the
Western demand for a 2-cent tariff on
hides. which the Eastern shoe manufac
turers declare would ruin their business.
Western wool growers must have their de-
mands, but the growers and SINNERS Of
hides in the same section will be turned
down. There is an element OF fishiness
about this prognosisl The power of the
organized shoe manufacturing trade is
great, and able to make itself felt. Since
1871, when hides were put on the free
list, it has built up fine export trade.
amounting last year to over S2O,0OO,GOO,
and employing over 100, 900 operatives in
tanneries and shoe factories. For two
years the American manufacturers have
been able to ship leather betting to neariy
all civilized countries, and to undersell
England and Germany in their own ter
ritory- Allthis splendid commerce would he
knocked on the head by the proposed duty
on hides Mr Schieren, of Brooklyn. presi
dent OF an organization of the shoe and
leather trades of New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia, declares that ''all this trade
will revert again to the English and Ger
mans IL our Government places a duty on
raw material, and viii he entirely lost to
this country. Hides, being by-product,
a duty will not benefit the farmer, be-
cause cattle are bought, not for their
hides simply, but for the beef. The farmer
would not receive any benefit, the profit
going to the cattle slaughtercrs."
AS far as it goes, the position taken by
Mr. Schieren and his associates is IN
assailable 1t would be just as outra
geous to put duty upon hides as to levy
one on wool, or as it would be ~ elevate

Consistent But Abnormal.

There is a Republican member Of Con-
gress who is consistent and las the oour-
age Of his convictions. Tits Representative
Shattuc. of Cincinnati, who has appointed
a colored lad as q cadet at annapolis,
and thereby has raised a fIightful row
among the hest" Republican elements in
his district His white party friends al
ready are threatening him with political
destruction, and as likely as not will visit
IL upon him at the very first opportunity;
because they are not consistent and he is.
Mr. Shattnc's critics, while not consist
ent Republicans, are normal anu customary
ones. Like the majority OF their party,
their great hearts bleed for the colored
American for a few months before every
election in which his vote can be utilized
for the party benefit. All the remainder
OF the time they spend in explaining to
their colored political comrades that what
the latter most need on earth Tor their
own good is to religiously keep out Of poll
tics. and especially out Of office.
Evidently Representative Shattuc is
not that kind OF Republican. He seems
TO feel that since the most piteous appeals
were made to the cOlored race, as a race,
60 once more stand by the grand old party,
that ignores it on every post-election &C
casion. consistency demands that he, at
beast, should recognize the race element in
his own success. Like every other man
who tries to mix conscience, justice and
equity with a substance like Republican
politics. in the nature of things incombina-
bile with any OF them, probably ne Will
come 60 GRIEF; but the Jewel, Consistency,
will dangle at his fob; and he viii sink
out of party sight, happy in the thoughtthat
sit is letter to be right than to be Pres
t.ient

Pennsylvania Investigating Commit
tee Shocked at Misery Revealed.

zee Shocked at Misery Revealed
Pittsburg, April 1.-THE members Of the
legislative committee appointed 10 inves-
tigatc the condition OF the miners made
a Journey through the mining towns yes
terday.
AT Banning, on the Pittsburg, Mckees-
port and Youghiougheny Railroad, they
said the place was u disgrace To civiliza-
ton. The mines there are owned by the
Banning Coal Company otherwise known as
Morgan. Moore & Balm, OF Cleveland. The
mines runs steadily and employs about
300 men, the majority of whom are Slavs
and Poles.
Directly in front Of the railway station
is a shanty, sixty feet in length. 1t is
built on piles across a hollow which is
filled with stagnant water 1t Is divided
into four compartments twenty feet long
bv ten wide. and is inhabited by about nfty
men and three women. From four TO SIX
beds were found in each compartment.
Beneath and about the building Were piles
of filth.
The men said the company charged them
each 50 month rent.
Similar conditions were found through
ct the hamlet. Frame shanties, Feet
: each. are rented at 50 month The
men said they could earn on an average
about 90 cents day when working. Sec
rotary Warren, of the Miners Union, who
accompanied the party, said that even
worse conditions exist at Whitsett and other
places.
Awful wretchedness and filth were found
nv the committee at the mines of Osborne,
Saeger & Co., of Cleveland. MIR. Osborne
is a cousin of President Mckinley.

Time TO Tell Them.

The other day Mr.. Mckinley was re-
ported as assuring newspaper man that
the Madrid story of his offer OF mediation
between Spain and the Republic OF Cuba
was pure fiction, and that 1.-The American
people ought To know him better than TO
believe it,"
That is just the trouble. The American
people thought they knew the President.
and on the 4th of March believed that
they would not have to wait many days
before witnessing the inauguration OF
vigorous American policy in connection
with Cuban affairs. The least they ex-
pected was a reversal OF the Cleveland
Olney policy of permitting the outrage,
torture and butchery OF helpless women
and children on the island. SO far moth
ing practical has been accomplished to
stop or even to limit the Spanish atroci-
ties The Spanish press howls with glee
ever alleged manifestations Of Mr.. Nc
Kiniey's friendship for Spain; public me-
high in the councils OF the Republican
party. in effect act as the political agents
OF the Spanish government in Washing
ton, and trust, monopoly and speculative
interests controlling the financial and
fiscal policies of the Administrat iOn, openly
and contemptuously dare the multiplied mil
lions OF American citizens whe demand
in, ha
name of God and humanity, to secure
the smallest concession obnoxious TO the
native and foreign Spanish legations while
the Business Manager" and the Auto
CTat" in combination hold the conscience,
purse and power of the party in abJect
control.
The consequence of it all is that the
American people are getting sadly mixed
They want to think that the President
is as able to act. as he must be to bitterly
feel, the humiliation TO our nation and
TO his Administration, involved in the
muentit,nat,ie horrors of Weylers course
in Culra. When he says that they ought to
know him better than 10 think this or 20
think that, he ought TO remember that he
has not yet placed them in a position to
know what to think about him in relation
to Cuba. One report credits him with
working for mediation, and, on the same
day, another represents some peTsonages
near him as secretly planning the arrest
wants the people TO know what TO think
Of him, he has only TO tell them in about
ten words where he stands in this matter.

The Girls, reform school,

To the Editor of The Times.
In the report made before the joint COM
mittee of Congress in relation to the in
auiry of the Reform School for Girls, Mr.
Endicott, the president Of that insti tuition,
makes the statement thatthe rnanychanges
of the officers there were due to incorn-
potency Is, not that a strange statement
to make, as inquiry develops the fact that
there have been some twenty-odd officers
changed since the beginning OF the school,
only three years, think? Can it be pos
sible that so many persons could all be in
competent, or is the board ready to make
that charge whenever they desire change
without giving the employees chance TO
yindicate themselves from such libel?
If an inquiry is set on foot for truth on
any matter, let it he thorough and to the
purpose, and not lay all the fault to the
Officers of the institution.

The biograph at Willard Hall completes
its fifth month in Washington this after
noon. Never before in the history of Wash
ington amusement enterprises has an en-
tertainment been able TO reach this phe-
nomenaI record before. Beginning on next
Monday about fifteen new views will be
added to the already superb program
There viii be an almost complete change Of
program. Among the new views will be the
keystone Express view that shows a
railroad train running at an actual rate Of
speed of S4.3 miles al hour. This surpasses
even the famous Empire State Express"
Others VIII be the ''Horseless Fire Engine
of Hartford, Conn THE Pillow Fight"
showing a number of youngsters engag-

this view; several views showing Joe JEFF

The report that Major Sandoval. OF
VIEWERS staff, came to the United States
to enlist this Government in scheme OF
persecution against the Cuban Junta, to-
day is secuted by journals whose inspira-
ton usually comes from one OF the two
Spanish legations in Washington. This,
doubtless, is because the idea OF such a
thing has created widespread Indignation
throughout the country. 1t is interesting
to remember that exactly that purpose OF
of Major Sandoval' mission was announced
in advance of his leaving Havana by tho
Official organ of the Captain General.
