Miller stated that unless the Santa Fe
shopmen would march in the parade
and the committee take steps toward
securing the cooperation of all organ
izations in the city in the Labor day
demonstration it was doubtful if a
creditable showing could be made.
Mr.. Swayze-Mr. Kouns, the Santa
Fe member of this committee, stated
not long ago that it was expected that
the Santa Fe shopmen of this city
would take part in the Labor day pa
rade as well as in the Santa Fe parade.
Mr.. Brigham understood Mr.. KOuns
to say that Santa Fe day would in no
way interfere with the Labor day dem
onstration. The shops will be undoubt-
eddy closed all week, and the shopmen
can take part in the parade.
Mr.. Miller-If the Santa Fe shop
men will turn out there is no doubt that
a big success can be made of Labor
day. If they failed to take part and
all of the labor organizations in the
city would turn out a success can be
made of the day without them, al
though their assistance is greatly de-
sired. I think that if the committee
would urge all organizations to par
ticipate we would have a better dem
onStratiOn.
On motion of Major Anderson the
delegation was instructed to consult
with Mr.. Kouns in reference to the
Santa Fee shopmen and report at the
meeting of the committee Thursday
night. Mr.. Dana was also instructed
to prepare a resolution urging all labor
organizations to take part in the DEM
OnStratiOn

THE system of taxation in Topeka is
such that in time the owner of property

Mr.. Moore-Its my opinion that the
Carnival can be held with out interfer-
ing in any way with our arrangements.
Mr.. Miller-Well, guess that's right.
1 guess the Carnival will be all right on

Mr.. Moore-And I want to say right

we mean to give a bean bake in a big

HARRIS WINS PRAISES.
a Republican Compliments theCourse
of the Junior Senator.

One of the most prominent old SOL
diers and Republicans of Kansas, one
with a political reputation as wide as
the west, recently wrote a letter to Sen
ator w. A. Harris, commencing him
for his efforts in getting after the man
ipulators of the Union Pacific rail-
way.
81 write to you" said this gentleman,
las a Republican and one who wore the
blue and fought you on many a. hard
contested field, to say to you in all can
dor that you have done more, in the
three short months you have been
United States senator, for the people,
than the brilliant ingalls, in eighteen
years, the popular Plumb in as many
years and all the Republican congress
down to the present day In reply to
this letter, Senator Harris writes:
MY Dear Colonel: It is now very
probable that a vote will be taken on
the tariff bill in the senate on Satur-
day, and if this is the case we hope we
will be able to bring the resolution up
for consideration on Monday or Tues
day. The railroad attorneys are APP
pearing here in force and are making,
of course, great arguments in behalf OF
the proposed settlement on the theory
that they are Offering all the road is
worth.
IF there was no other question to be
considered than purely that of a debtor
and creditor there might possibly be
some force in their argument, but they
utterly ignore the fact that that is the
smallest part, lat least in my estimation,
of the whole matter. AS you say, the
necessity for the sovereign power to
maintain it's dignity and authority and
require absolute and faithful compi-
ance with it's laws. puts the question
upon a higher plane. To me it would
make but very little difference if great
deal more than the value of the prop
erty could be had unless it could be
had by complete recognition of
right and justice and of the dignity and
honor of the sovereign power"
Replying to some sentiments of his
correspondent, who was one of the
braVest soldiers in the Union army, Mr..
Harris said: II think that the time is
rapidly approaching when true patri-
OTIS, no matter whether thirty odd years
ago they wore one uniform or the other.
will take pride in seeing who can do the
most to sustain the honor and integ-
rity of the country"

GRAIN DEALERS REBEL.
They Object to the Methods of the
State Grain Inspection De-

The Kansas City Journal gives the
following account of a meeting of the
Grain Dealers association which criti-
cised the appointees of State Grain In
spector Culver:
THE four grain inspectors who are
employed in Kansas City, Kan, were
discussed for two hours last evening by
the grain dealers at their meeting at
the Ashland, and the weaknesses of the
political inspection maintained there
were pretty thoroughly aired. Every
shortcomings to tell, and some stated
they had notified their commission
houses here not to accept the inspection
of one inspector. 1t was finally decid-
ed to appoint a committee to visit State
Inspector Culver on his return from
Kansas and ask that certain inspectors
be dropped and the rest of them given
a course of instruction in their work.
The shippers roasted the Kansas in
spectors fearfully, and one man intima-
ted that action ought to be brought
against them for damages on their
bonds. One of the inspectors appointed
by State Inspector Culver and assigned
to Kansas City was formerly dane
ing master and is said to be BILE to
lead german or teach schottiSche
beautifully, but is rather shy on in
formation regarding grain grades that
are satisfactory to the shippers of the
state. State Inspector Culver has prom
ised to do what he could to remedy any
of the weaknesses of the depa rtment
and the committee will point out few
the association thinks ought to be rem
edied before the heavy shipments of
grain begin"

7. ,s ,odov officially announced that on the

bench. John W. Griggs Governor or New-Jersey'
will % into President McKinley's Cabinet as the

storehouse of mental energy. Governor Hr'ggs
60 ono ~ that class Of farmers boys to which
this country owes 40 much. He was porn anu
reared in Sussex County. N. D., ana from MS
bovhood DAYS self-relance was taught him ny
precept and experience. Largely by dint OF MS
own Industry he was able to get course OF
study In Lafayette College, from which he was
graduated IN 1868 After that he studied law,
and was admitted to the bar In 1871. he was
twenty-six years Of age when, In 1876, he took
bjs seat as a member Of the Assembly. He
served two terms In that body and two IN the
State Senate. and as President OF the latter BODY
in 1856 presided at the Laverty impeachment
trial
While in the Senate Mr.. Griggs took lead
ing part In framing the Railroad Tax act ana
he drew the law for the taxation OF miscel-
laneous CORPORATIONS. These enactments stand
substantially unchanged, and to them Is due
the fact that New-Jersey has now no direct
State tax.
Notwithstanding his successes and achieve
ments, Mr.. Griggs was never what Is known as
n popular" politician. He had always about
him that sense Of personal dignity and scorn
for shams that kept the sycophants and wire
pullers at arms length. As a lawyer and con-
structive statesman he was seen at his best. ana
In lashing public abuses his pen and tongue were
caustic and fearless. 1t was these qualities that
made him an ideal candidate Of the Republican
party for Governor in 1895. The Democrats
had controlled the executive power OF the State
for n quarter of a century, and In the early
ninetes fraud and rascality were rampant. The
people realized that some such strong and clean
man as Griggs was wanted, and they proved
their faith by giving him plurality Of $4,000
votes.
Governor Griggs has made himself known be-
yond the borders Of New-Jersey. In 1855 he
won high encomiums by his grafton In putting
the name of William Walter Phelps before the
Republican National Convention as a candidate
for Vice President and his address on the
science Of law-making before this years con
vention Of the National Bar Association elected
comment and discussion in every State Of the
Union.
Mr. Griggs is not yet fortyn years old. He
is in his prime. physically and intellectually, is
enthusiastically fond OF outdoor sports, and
ranks high AS a marksman and an ardent dis
ciple Of Izaak Walton.

TIE TARIFF AND DEBT REDUCTION.

An EnglIshman. apparently not well Informed,
has been telling a reader Of The Tribune that
the protective tariff did not meet the needs Of
the Government under President Harrlson's Ad
mlnistratlon, nor was the public debt reduced
In order that he may be able TO tell the truth
in future he should send to the Treasury De
partment for a copy OF the latest official debt
statement for December /, IN which he Will
find in a most conspicuous position at the top
the following comparison:
Interest bearing debt outstanding March 4.
Interest bearing deb, outstanding March 1.
1850 s4 ioe 20
Interest bearing debt outstanding March i.
1898 osoO34 2to
The same statement gives the amount OF
bonds outstanding bearing various rates Of IN
terest at each date, from which any person able
TO perform simple sums in arithmetic may
learn that the yearly interest charge was 1884,.
57S,459 on March 1, 1889, and only 500 S94.-
$50 40 on March I. 1893. Perhaps out Of po-
likeness or pity the debt statement omlts the
interesting fact that when Cleveland's term ex
plred. March l. 1897. the interest-b bearing debt
amounted 10 sS47.364 $50, having been in
creased In four years Of Democracy and low
duties 1892, 1870, 600. The interest charge yearly
amounted on that date to $343S7 30S, having
been Increased by President Cleyelands opera
tons 81, 1929, as 1t had been reduced in four
years by President Harrison s11,GS4,379
This sort Of contrast is not particularly pleas
ing to Free Trader, and II is not strange II
his mind fails TO absorb information so unwel-
come. Still, IL man must venture any asser-
ton about the public debt lie might help his
reputation by making correct one The pub
lie debt of the United States reached its highest
point on August 81, 1865, when 1t amounted to
1854, 649G 2G Sc and after deduction Of cash on
hand was still $2,756,4 31.5 81 43. The amount
less cash on hand on March l, about the be-
ginning Of each Administration, Is here given
from the official sources, and possibly for the
first time compiled for the entire period. The
amount Of interest annually payable on the
bonded debt Is also shown in the same state
ment, and the reduction under each Admlnistra-
ton in net debt and in interest charge

Annual

Protective tariffs have reduced the debt less

Administrations and less than one year. Pres
ident Cleveland increased it In his term S1G7-

the large addition to cash In the Treasury, al

sum, 1t will be observed, under every Admin

and the reduction In the annual interest charged
was over S5,O0000O under every Admlnistra-
ton except the last, which increased the inter-
est charge as above stated, by over S11 .OOO, 600
The reduction Of debt was comparatively small
in the period after the panic Of 1873, but, though
only $6S, that Is considerably better than
the result under Mr.. Cleveland's Administra-
