The annual banquet of the State Bar As

last night. The management of the hotel
had made elaborate arrangements for the
affair. Nearly two hundred men in even
ing dress sat down TO the long tables, which
were profusely decorated with American
Beauty roses and other flowers. The menu
was complete, and Indiana State Bar As
ISOLATION punch had its place among the
fluids that were served. The service was
excellent. but so was the dinner. and it was
late when John r. Wilson, ex-president of
the association and POSTMASTER of the

Frank +. Gavin to respond to the toast
How Lawyers Meet Their Obligations"
Ito the lawyer is given,'' said Mr.. Gavin,
exceptional advantage in obtaining those
honors which most men seek" He told of
the other obligations that lawyers especial
ly are put under by the favors which the
world shows them. But he pointed out,
lawyers are not slower than other men in
paying their obligations. He directed the
attention of his audience TO the pages of
history. where may be found the records
of lawyers unfiinching courage in time of
danger, whether during war or peace. His
patriotic illusions were enthusiastically APP
plauded. He urged that lawyers persist in
fidelity to their trusts. in untiring industry
and willingness to help others before they
do themselves rather than devote all their
energy to the getting of gold.
Arthur w. Brady told of the Relation of
Lawyers TO Literature" He said lawyers
we'll felt proud of their close kinship to
literary men. Still, he said, lawyers were
and always had been creators. Though the
speeches of the great lawyers of the past
were little read now, he said, nevertheless
they had high place in literature.

A dispatch from Narragansett Pier. x. J.,
says the subcommittee of the Senate COM
mittee on finance is holding two sessions
day considering a currency reform bill.
and that several days will probably be spent
in discussion before any move is made to-
wards formulating bill. The subcommittee
consists of Senators Allison Of Iowa, Aldrich
of Rhode Island Plat of New York, Bur-
rows of Michigan. and Plat of Connecticut
all able men and good Republicans. Nara
gansett Pier is doubtless delightful place
to be in midsummer, and the subcommittee
holds its sessions In Cottage of Sherry's
string OF vine-covered houses, where the
utmost secrecy and privacy are to be had"
Between sessions they are driven down TO
the beach, where they sit in the shade and
watch the bathers. All this harmonizes with
senatorial health. 1t would be contrary to
senatorial courtesy for members of the COM
mittee to tell what they are doing or pro-
pose TO do If anything, but Senator Allison
has ventured to say. I'VE must be careful
to avoid mistakes lest we do something
which will have to be undone.' Just so
1t Is better to avoid mistakes than to have
to undo them Senator Allison also says:
THE currency reform question is of more
than ordinary Importance. and 1t is neces-
sary to get the consensus of party opinion
before We can proceed inteligently'' Most
persons have been under the impression
that party opinion on this subject has been
pretty well exploited during the last three
or four years, and 1t is difficult to under
stand how the committee can expect to get
any new information or light on the subject
1t Is even more important that the right
thing should be done than that all shades
of party opinion be harmonized and satisfied
There is such thing as spending too much
time trying to get a consensus of party
committee cannot agree on anything it
should at least unite on a bill committing
the Republican party politically and the gov
eminent financially to the gold standard and
making 1t impossible for free-silver Presi-
dent and secretary of the treasury, should
they get into office, to put the country on
silver basis. They need not wait for a
consensus OF party opinion on this point. 1t
ought not to take many days with two ses-
sions a day to agree upon it, and when
agreed upon 1t could do no harm for the
committee TO remove the awful ban of Sc
crecy and let the country know about it.

DEFENDED By CIVIL-SERVICE
COMMISSIONER.

At the request of the president of the
Civil-service Reform Association of Mis-
souri,. Hon. James B. Harlow. who was ap-
pointed member Of the Civil-service Com
mission by President Cleveland. has written
long letter explaining and defending Presi-
dent McKinley's civil-service order Under
President Harrison Mr.. Harlow was post
master in st. Louis, coming to the position
after years of service in subordinate posi-
letter Mr.. Harlow shows that Mr.. Cleve-
lands order of May s, 1896. by which 1900
officials and employees were put under the
rules of the civil service, made so much
work for the commission that it could not at
tend TO 1t and was compelled to detail off,
Gals in the various departments to attend
TO the work. Much comment was made
because the President took from the COM
mission the supervision of the selection of
class of employees in the War Department,
chiefly mechanics. and conferred the author
ity to register such employees upon army
officers employing them. Mr.. Harlow calls
attention to the fact that this method was
adopted by Secretary Tracy. in the Navy
Department. in 1890. and that it has worked
admirably ever since. With his experience
Mr.. Harlow believes that change is wise
one. Certainly Mr. Harlow. who has been
a member of the Civil-service Commission
several years, should be as well qualified
to judge as those men who are theoretical
civil-service reformers without practical ex-

On the contrary. he commends the action of

Mr.. Harlow specially approves the order of
the President made in 1897, which requires
that an employee shall be notified of the
reasons of removal and given opportunity
to meet them. To show that the require
ments of the civil-service law are being OBJ
served Mr.. Harlow calls attention to the
fact that in the past two years two GER
tificates of examination were issued where
one was issued under any two years of Mr..
Cleveland's last term, exclusive of the GER

needs of the public service.

Their mistake comes from making the Sher-
man act a part of the tariff act. There
was no cause to put antitrust section
into the Mckinley law, for the reason that
the Sherman act a law three months
before the tariff bill was passed. The anti
trust law was of Republican origin. SEN
ator Sherman reported a bill from the
finance committee Jan. IL. 1890 After con-
sideration two days during which many
amendments were offered. the measure was
referred to the judiciary committee. April
Senator Edmunds of the judiciary COM
mittee. reported the antitrust bill as il
row stands. and IL became a law by the
approval of the President July 2. 1890 When
the German Wilson tariff bill was passed
a feature of the antitrust law relating TO
combinations on the part of importers 10
control prices of any imported article was
inserted. Although 1t appears to have been
drawn in the form of the Sherman anti
trust law. 1t does not repeal it. That the
Supreme Court of the United States has
tased decisions upon the antitrust law
since 1894 shows that the Sherman act was
not repealed by the tariff act of 1894

An effort is being made by the members
OF the Park Board and several of the citi-

opinion that If annexation were desired by

There can be no doubt that the Presi-

Moreover, the selections from the regular

OF the opportunity of charging that ex-

REDUCED TEN PER CENT.
BOARD OF REVIEW CUTS APPRAISE-
MENT OF IMPROVEMENTS.
City VIII BE Able to Lower Tax Rate
-Pennsylvania COmpany's
Site.

The County Board of Review at its sitting
yesterday adopted a resolution providing
for a horizontal reduction Of 10 per cent.
in the assessment of all improvements in
Center township where a reduction has not
already been made. 1t is estimated that
this will reduce the tax duplicate at least
100000. The county tax officers say. how
ever that even with this reduction the
city ought to be able to lower its tax levy
this year. Some of the officers think the
tax duplicate will admit of reduction in
the city levy of from to 10 cents.
Members of the board of review are
strongly inclined to assess the Sinker &
Davis real estate. recently purchased by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Col.
l. NJ Walker, tax agent for the road. was
before the board few days ago, asserting
hat this real estate should be assessed as
other railroad property, at so much a mile,
and should be assessed by the State tax
board The county board did not tell Col.
Walker what il intended to do, but Il is
almost a certainty that the real esta wiz
