ANOTHER ACTION FILED.
Suit for Removal of the Marion Metro
pOIitan Police Board.


Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind. Sept. A.-The second ac-
ton for the removal of the Marion Metro
politan Police Board was filed in the Grant
Circuit Court this afternoon by Amsden &
Houck, as attorneys for John L. Steller,
butcher, living in South Marion. The three
members of the board are made defend
ants. The action is a quo warranto pro-
ceeding asking for the issuance of writ
for the board to show authority for exer-
cising the rights of police commissioners
and assuming to appoint patrolmen and TO
direct the members of the force to dis
charge their duties as such. In general
scope the complaint is similar 10 the one
filed by Pat Antrim, though it differs in
that II fails to recite personal grievances.
The complaint was later withdrawn by
the attorneys, who gave several reasons
for declining TO make ii public, among
them being that the complaint needed some
amendments or additional paragraphs. 1t
Is known, however, that the complaint fe-
cites that the taxes of the city of Marion
are increased by reason of the board, which
Is supposed to have been illegally appoint
ed, the act under which the appointment
was made being claimed to be unconstitu-
tional. The complaint further recites that
the members of the force, under the direc-
ton of the board, have entered private
houses and places OF business; 1t has
caused arrests to be made without warrant
of authority, all of which are claimed to be
unlawful.
There is determined effort to Dust the
board If such thing can be done. A fund
of $1,000 has been raised, more than fifty
persons having subscribed to the same.
Complaints for damages are TO be filed in
rapid succession against the board and the
patrolmen. AS to the latter IL is intended
to show that they individually have been
guilty of entering private places without
authority and having assaulted persons
without provOcatiOn. An injunction proba-
bly, will be asked in one more of the
suits to prevent the city officials paying
salaries of the patrolmen and officers Of
the force.

TARIFF REFORMERS.
Fallacy of Demands Made by Men
Who Attack Protection.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
There are always a lot of people in the
world who want to tinker with the tar
iff.'' They seem TO think that most of the
ills of this present life come to US through
the operations of a protective tariff! No
difference how prosperous the country has
been under protection, matter IL labor
has been more fully employed and at high
er wages than ever before, and that ''all
kinds and conditions of men, better
fed and better clothed and better housed
than at any time since the world began.
you can always count on the tariff re-
former clamoring for a change
He is absolutely certain that products are
much too high and that wages are much
too low. and he proposes 10 remedy the
matter by reducing the tariff or course.
he never tries to explain how free trade
can lower prices and increase wages at the
same time. That would be asking entirely
too much of a tariff reformer. His business
is TO shout. BUY where you can buy cheap
est and sell where you can sell dearest"
THE tariff is tax and the consumer pays
IL; ''tarin for revnue only. and many
other foolish fallacies. That is so much
easier than TO explain how the workman
is to get more wages for making article
by reducing its price. II requires less men

he wants tariff for revenue only" Ask
him how much revenue he desires, and he

reply, Enough to meet the expenses of the
government. economically administered"
You will note how he emphasizes the word
economically" as If the Democratic party
ever administered anything in that way
Now the truth is that William Mckinley
or Mr.. Dingley never asked any more They
never wanted that muchi What, then is the
difference between our Democratic free
trade friends and our Republican profec-
tionists? II Is very great. The Democrat
wants revenue only, while the Republican
wants tariff for revenue and protection
Ii follows, therefore, that when a free
trader proceeds 10 formulate a schedule
he does so without any discrimination
whatever. That is TO say. he is lust as
ready TO put the duty on articles not pro-
duced I'm this country, and that cannot be-

Sl62.5O damages. Both sides filed excep-
tions TO the amount. The ice company

Yesterday in the Laporte Circuit Court

demnation proceedings set aside on the
ground of insufficient service OF notice.
