IN HIS statement given out upon the
adjournment of Congress Mr.. Livingston
hit the nail on the head when he said
the republicans are keeping up the ma
tional expenses in order to head of any
movement for reducing the tariff duties
on which the trusts live and thrive.
The tariff breeds the trusts, and the
revenues must be spent in some way.
But this policy may recOil upon ITSELF
The party has extended the public ex-
penditures till it is getting to be an in
teresting question where the money will
come from, The New York Sun says
that a continuance of the present policy
of Capitalization will so increase the ex-
penses of the government as to demand
a larger customs revenue. But to in
crease duties would stop importations
and make the revenue less. To reduce
the duties would increase importations
and the revenue, but then what would
become of the sacred principle of protec-
ton and the inordiuate profits OF the
trusts?

The Stanford WhIte Murder.

New York, July 5.-Within the next few
days the District Attorneys Office expects to
come into the possession Of the affidavit made
by Evelyn Nesbit, in the contemplated action
against Harry Thaw, which the young Pitts
burg millionaire, is said TO have Believed was
instigated by Stanford White. This import
ant instrument which was drawn up by a
lawyer, and kept safely hidden in safe de-
post box, would be of Invaluable aid TO the
prosecution in the support Of its theory that
hatred and revenge caused Harry Thaw to
shoot and kill the Architect. Stanford
White is said to have had much to do with
the drawing of this instrument II is said
that Miss Nesbit told White many things
that prompted him to suggest a suit against
1haw. Mr.. White took the artist model to
lawyer where she made a long affidavit.
Because Of the nature Of the contents White
insisted that the document be kept in a safe
deposit box. The suit never went as far
as the complaint stage, for when Thaw was
shown the affidavit, he made a settlement
with Miss Nesbit and also gave her lawyer
a large allowance. Later, Miss Nesbit and
Thaw were married. II was after the marriage
that Thaw learned for the first time that
White had much TO do with the suit that
Miss Nesbit contemplated against him.
Mrs. Thaw denies that she had previous to
her marriage had an affidavit drawn in
suit against Thaw.
