OF the railroad magnatG, NJ J.. ingalls,. Ingalls,
is allied with the Vanderbilt system i'll the Mid
die West, and like all prominent railroad men,
lie maintains an antc.room, where callers are re-
uuircd to state their erand before being admitted
to the great man.
A few weeks ago, however, an individual swept
aside all antc.room arrangements, and stalked by
the outer guards with an air OF authority which
completely upset them. On he went, boldly
pushed open the door of the sanctum and entered.
Surprised Ingalls, looked up and bchcld Il tall,
bronzcd person surveying the apartment with Il
keen eye, after which, looking at ingalls,, de.

remove your hat while in the office? And, fur

~ RADUAl4LN the muddle at
a Washington over what should
VA be done for Cuba is Clarity
ing. 1t now appears that the
sudden determination OF the Republican
members of the house ways and means
committee to take off the war taxes
before considering the Cuban issue was
in pursuance of Il political play. Re
cognizing that concessions to Cuba
would be made in any event, if in no
other way than by an amendment
tackled on to some appropriation bill
by the senate, the house leaders, so
the story goes, concluded that they
might as we'll do what they could 20
save from defeat the members repre-
scnting beet sugar and tobacco dis
tricts. by washing the house's hands,
it was thought that some districts,
otherwise doubtful, might be saved IN

duty without fear of the consequences.
ON Saturday he sent for Speaker Hen
derson and one or two other house
leaders, and had frank talk with
them. It's purport has not been dis
closed; but il is safe to guess that he
called to their attention how disas-
trous it would be from a political
standpoint to have the admnistra-
tions declared policy, McKinley's as
we'll as RooSeVelt'S, Sandbagged IN the
house of its friends. The result of this
talk or of it in combination with other
influences, is that there is now a feel
ing at Washington that concessions
will be made to Cuba at an early date,
and that they win not have to be
forced ON the house, but will originate
in that body.
In the meantime, that accomplished
legislative architect, Senator Spooner,
has devised what may prove a useful
compromise measure. He proposes
that the United States charge full
Dingley rates on all Cuban sugar and
tobacco coming in from Cuba, but in
consideration of the agreement of the
Cuban republic to reduce the Cuban
tariffs on American goods going into
Cuba, the United States is to refund to
the Cuban government, say 40 per cent
Of the duties collected on Cuban sugar
and tobacco. If the Cuban officials
shall pee fit in their turn to pay back
this 40 per cent. refund 10 the Cuban
plantets, that would be matter in

10y THE appeal which is to be
X made to the Supreme court
in the matter of the delin-
quent tax collectOrship it IS
hoped that a clearer view may be had
of the law in this case. The opinion of
the local court leaves the matter in
pretty much the position that it found
it. From a reading of this opinion it
is impossible to say who is now the
lawful collector of delinquent taxes or
whether his compensation is to be COM
puted on the basis of the tax payments
made to the city treasurer subsequent
to September 1 last, at which time
unpaid taxes became delinquent, or
whether the city is liable for double
payment for one service.
1t is, indeed, an open question whether
Article XVII of the charter, which pro-
vides that "all city officers and en-
ployes shall receive n fixed salary for
their services makes possible Il basis
of compensation for the collector of de-
linquent taxes resting on percentage
of collections, especially if the total
percentage arrangement should fall be-
low the $1,000 minimum which the char
ter requires to be paid to the head of
each executive department. The mani
fest intent of the new charter act was
to establish the municipal service on Il
fixed salary footing, using the word
salary in it's commonly accepted sense
of an invariable sum, payable in equal
instalments. This intent is defeated if
some CITY officers are to be paid fixed
sums and others paid variable amounts
on II percentage footing.
These and other uncertainties in the
premises make it desirable that the
court of last resort should define clearly
the purpose and meaning of the law.
Not until that has been done can its
enforcement in this direction proceed
confidently.
