A TARIFF DREAM.
BY RALPH HOYT.


been reading and hearing so much about
tariffs and ee-trade on account of the
Porto Rico question, that after retiring
and falling asleep one night recently,
dreamed of the tariff, and in a rather
unique way.
1 seemed to be seated in large court
room where criminal trial was in pro-
gress. Ihad entered the room late and had
missed hearing the evidence in the case,
and also the arguments of the eminent
attorneys. But 1 was there in time to
hear the judges charge to the jury and
the verdict that followed. 1t was ap-
parent from the large number of intelli-
=, gent spectators present, and the intense
interest with which they listened to the
J proceedings, that the case was one of
extraordinary Importance. In answer
to my whispered question bailiff said
it was the great case of "The People
versus The Tariff
Soon the venerable, dignifed judge
arose, and with manuscript in hand pro.
ceeded to read, in a clear, calm voice,
his instructions to the jury, while every
\ person in the crowded room listened al
most breathlessly. Having a notebook
! and pencil in my room I wrote down in
shorthand, soon after awakening, every
word that fell from his honor's lips, and
have since transcribed them for publ
cation. They are as follows:
"The charge of robbery against this
defendant, The Tariff, is serious one,
and you, the jury, having listened at
tentively to the evidence and also to the
arguments of learned counsel on each
side must soon take the case under adj
visement, and eventually render such
verdict as you may be able to agree
upon. You must decide whether the
accused is guilty or innocent of robbing
the people of vast sums of money, ag-
gregating many millions, by a process
Of holding up his victims under the
forms of law. And so, OH behalf of the
people give you these instructions.
eff the jury believe that The Tariff is
tax, that it is an unnecessary tax, that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation,
and that unjust taxation is robbery
that belief will point significantly to-
ward the duty of conviction. If the
jury further believe that no moral law
yet discovered justifies a civil govern
ment in imposing burdens on one class
of citizens to benefit another class, that
also should bear strongly against the de-
fendant-provided the jury have no
doubt that a protective tariff does thus
discriminate in favor of one class and
against another.
"On the part of the defendant the
court gives you these instructions: If
the jury believe from the evidence that

GREELEY's PRoDIGALITY.
Made Himself Poor by Repeated
Gifts to Friends.

Colonel Mcclure, in Success.
Horace Greeley was lavish in his
gifts and often to most unworthy re-
cipients, and was most sensitive when
admonished on the subject by even his
closest friends. He loaned thousands
of dollars TO a scapegrace son of Com
modore Vanderbilt. ana, when Wander
bilt appealed to him TO stop II. Greeley
curtly closed the conversation by say
ing he did not expect the commodore
TO pay the loan.
In one of the many conversations
had with him in his dingy Office in the
old Tribune building | ventured to
suggest that he was more generous
giver than his means justified. 10
which he answered. "Well, 1 guess

PADDY DONOVAN ACQUITTED.
The Jury Out but a Few Minutes on
the Case.

BY Exclusive Wine from The Associated Press.
Easton, Jan. 30.-Paddy Donovan, the
Philadelphia pugilist, who has been on
trial for several days at Belvidere. y.
j.. on the charge Of manslaughter. in
causing the death of Frank Welch.
another Philadelphia pugllist during
an exhibition at Phillipsburg, n. j., on
New Years eve, was acquitted today
The jury was out but "A short time.
Physicians during the trial testified
to finding IA ciot of blood at the base of
Welch's BRAIN and said that his death,
which resulted several days after the
fight was due to that cause. The de-
fense introduced evidence in the shape
of two boxers, who gave IL reproduc-
ton in court of the fight, to show that
no heavy blows had been struck during
the encounter and that Welch's death
was due entirely to collapse.
Later in the day, Donovan and a
number of others were tried jointly
for aiding and abetting a prize fight.
and all were acquitted.

DECLINED THE CASE.
Lincoln Didn't Want to Handle any
Crooked Lawsuits.

General John II. Littleheld, who
studied law with Abraham Lincoln,
writes his recollections Of his great
mentor in the February Success. He
tells this attractive bit of anecdote:
All clients knew mat, with "Old
Abe" as their lawyer, they would win
their case.--if it was fair; if not, that
it was L waste Of time to take it to
him. After listening some time one
day TO a would-be clients statement,
with his eyes ON the ceiling, he swung
suddenly round In his chair and eX-
claimed:
"Well, you have a pretty good case
In technical law, but pretty bad one
in equity and justice. You'll have to
get some other fellow to win this case
for you. l couldn't do it, All the time
while standing talking to that jury, Ia
be thinking, Lincoln. you're liar,
and believe / should forget myself
and say it out loud"

NINE WORKERS.
CONVENTION
The Sessions Closed at O'Clock
Yesterday-No Changes in the
Salaries.

BY Exclusive Wine iron The Associated Press.
indianapolis, Jan. 30.--The national
convention Of the United Mine Work.
ers of America, which has been in ses-
sion since January II, came TO a close
at o'clock this afternoon. Today was
devoted to revising the constitution
and several changes were made. It had
been expected that a fight would re-
suit over some Of the changes recon-
mended. but nothing of the kind oc-
CURED, and the report of the commit
tee on constitution went through al
most without hitch. y resolution to
Increase the executive committee from
eight to ten members was voted down.
as was IA motion to introduce the ref
crendum system in the election of Off
GERS.
No changes We're made in the sal
aries of the officers or general COM
mitteemen, and the system of collect
ing dues will remain the same. The
secretary-treasurer was given power to
enforce the payment of assessments.
1t was decided TO next year enforce the
rules forbdding unions whose dues are
not paid up to have delegates at a con-
vention. The convention concuiTed in
recommendation of the committee
that a miner must be a member of the
organization three months before be-
ing given a transfer card.
The work of absorbing the engineers,
tiremen, blacksmiths and other auxil-
larry trades was completed by the adop-
tion of a resolution allowing members
of those trades to be organized into
separate unions.

WILL NOT COLLECT ON
UNDERWRITING BONDS
Controller Howell Will Wait Until
Councils Declare Illegal the
Claims of officers.

Deputy City Controller Hartley.
when asked yesterday by a Tribune
man as to whether the controller
would proceed to collect on the In
Identifying bonds filed by Patrolmen
Davies and Hockenberry, who were
appointed to succeed eX-Patrolmen
Dyer and Saul, said that he would
not do so until so directed by coun-
ciIs
During the interim that elapsed be-
tween the removal of Dyer and Saul
by the mayor and the confirmation Of
their removal by select council, Pa
trolmcn IIockenberry and Davies
were appointed and served in their
places. When select council finally
concurred in the removal of Dyer and
Saul, Hockenberry and Davies came
after their salary.
The controller refused to counter
sign the warrants until they filed in
Identifying bonds to indemnify the
city from any loss in case Dyer and
Saul should bring suit and recover
from the city. The signers of the bonds
furnished were Wade NJ. Finn and
John II. Fellows. The bonds were filed
aud Hockenberry and Davies drew
their slSS each.
Dyer and Saul did sue and secure
Judgment. On Tuesday last they Sc
cured their money. drawing s1SS each
from the city treasury. The city has
therefore paid Dyer and Saul S1SS
each for performing no active service
and Hockenberry and Davies $1SS each
for doing actual work. The contin-
Sency which the controller had in
| mind when he demanded the indem-
nitying bonds has therefore arisen.
Mr.. Hartley stated that inasmuch
as councils by ordering the payment
OF the claims of Dyer and Saul had
declared them legal. it would be neces-
sary for them TO declare that the
payment of salary to Hockenberry and
Davies was illegal before the control
Ter would direct the city solicitor to
secure judgment on the bonds.
1t is generally understood that cX-
| Chief of the Fire Department +. j.
| Hickey will shortly bring suit against
| the city to recover 800 due him as
| salary from the time of his removal
to the confirmation Of that removal
| by select council.
