Tickets sold in Chicago recently for
passage to New York and return at
a reduced rate have In them clause
that they are good ehly for the orig

decided that In consideration Of the
reduced rate such a clause is legal.
Two passengers were refused passage
on Monday night by the New York
Central on tickets which they pur-
chased at scalping Office, the parties
representing themseles as 1. j. & F.

sign their names they acknowledged
their names were not Livingston,
denied that they had purchased their
tickets at the place mentioned and
with their friends Immediately left
the Grand Central Station to see if
they could not get their money back.
1t was simply one more evidence
Of the foOliqhness Of buying tickets at
a slight reduction at scalping offices
and undertaking to use them by Inn
Personating other people. A great
deal Of unnecessary loss and incon-

manipulation Of tickets Of this kind

No more striking statement is tc
be found in the republican text book
than the comparison of the wages
paid to artisans in the United States
and in Great Britain Space will
not permit more than a brief quo
tation but the figures here given
are typical of the whole. Black
smiths receive as wages, in New
York 81 45 per day, in London
1882 per day, in Chicago 81 so
per day, in Glasgow SK4s per day.
Blarksmiths' helpers receive in
Chicago $l69% per day, in Man
chester 93H, in st. Louis $l.65 per
day, in Glasgow .s5H per day. Car
penters receive in New York SO. 492&
per day, in london Sl.6SZ per day,
in st. Louis $3.50 per day, in Man
chester 1.50H in Chicago 81. 2.54, in
Glasgow 81 53H per day. Cabinet
makers receive $3.50 per day in
New York, as against $L371% in
Manchester. IRON moulders receive
$2.732I in Chicago, as against 81. 62H
in Glasgow. Machinists receive
80 in New York, as against $1.54H
in London and $2.52% in st. Louis
as against STAG in Manchester. Pat
tern makers receive s.. 781$ in St.

chester. 1t would hardly seem nec-
essary to advance any further ar
gument TO the intelligent Americrn
working man, in order to prove to
him that it was to his interest to
support the party whose adherence
to the doctrine of protection has
saved him from the competition Of
labor paid at the rates quoted, es-

that party is openly and avowed-

Que of the most interesting chap

parties is clearly defined on this
question. "That of the democratic
party looks to constant agitation,

While an attempt is being made
by certain eastern leaders a. d news
papers to create a sensational feat
ure out of the tariff plank adopted
at the Iowa convention, there is
not, IN the opinion of many of the
leading republicans in Washington,
anything TO warrant the deductions
made. The planks which refer to
trusts and tile tariff are very nearly
the same as those adopted a year
ago. Some slight changes and ad-
ditiOns have been made and the
suggestion that it may be necessary
to modify certain tariff schedules in
order to curtail the power of She
trusts is clearly set forth It is
generally understood that the plat
form is in entire accord with the
views of the president, although at
no time has he stated that he re-
garded tariff revision as a proper
means of regulating the trusts.
That purpose he has attempted
through the courts, by means of the
laws already ON the statute books,
and, according to the department of
justice, with every prospect of sue
cess. A conservative view of the
situation leads to the conclusion that
the widespread talk of tariff revi.
sion is due more TO the sensational
tendencies of the press than to any
statement made by Iowa republicans
in convention assembled. That the
republican party will not hesitate TO
amend certain schedules of the
Dingley law, when changed condi-
tions warrant it, goes without say
ing. That has been one of tenets of
the protection policy from its incep-
ton and is in no way deviation
from the views of the staunchest
protectionists in the party.

ANNIVERSARY OF MAJUBA MILL
BRITISH VERY MUCH TICKltD
WAR SECRETARY READS THE
NEWS TO THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.

London, March 2. Following the
precedent of Lord Roberts, who an
nounced Gen. Cronjes surrender at
Paardeburg on the anniversary of the
battle Of Majuba Hill FEB. 81, 1871.
Lord Kitchener apparently selected
the same anniversary TO achieve a big
success, by o combined movement last
ing two days, against the Boer forces
within the Harrismith and Van Reen-
en- line OF blockhouses. The Boer losses
aggregate 500 men killed or cap'ur I'd
ana 1900 horses and % 900 head Of
cattle fell into the hands of the British
troops.
This news was so welcome to the
British that 1t was read out in the
house of commons yesterday by the
war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, from a
dispatch of Lord kitchener, as follows:
"Harrismith, Feb. 2S.--Yesterday the
cornbined operations Of the columns
terminated in driving the Beers against
the Harrismith anu Van Feenen
blocihuuse line. The River Wilge was
held by the Leinster regiment and FL
liott's mounted infantry from Harri-
smith with the columns formed on the
Frankfort and Botha's Pass Olockhouse
line and advanced south,
Holding the Entire Country
between the WiIgs and the Natal FROM
tier on the first night a very severe
attempt to break through was made
at a point between 3imington's and
Pvnc's columns, and the New Zealand
ers behaved with great gallaptry. The
fighting was at close quarters and the
Beers. as usual, drove a large herd OF
cattle in front Of them. Mamie Rotha,
the Boer leader, was killed and thirty
five do ad Beers were found on the
ground. over 100 hoi ses were killed
and 5000 head of cattle were left in our
hands. Other small attempts TO break
out were made AMI in two cases sue
ceeded. On the last day $50 Beers with
rifles and horses were captured. All the
columns have not vet reported and the
operations have been very wide, but.
over 600 Beers nave beer either killed
or are prisoners In our hands; also 1000
horses, 2S. 900 head of cattle, 200 wagons,
Gu, o. sheep. 500 rifles and $4,000 ROUNDS
of ammunition. The prisoners inciude

Icry results are very appropriate on the
