PROBE FOR LEGISLATORS.
Gov. Fort Of New Jersey Asks for
Committee on Scandal.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Gov. Fort OF
New Jersey yesterday called upon Harry
p. Ward, speaker of the assembly. TO
appoint a committee OF the house to IN
quire into the incidents which marked
the closing hours Of the assembly's ses-
sion on Wednesday night and Thursday
morning of last week.
Gov. Fort. at his home in East Orange.
said last night that he had as yet re-
ceived no reply from Speaker Ward, but
he expressed the utmost confidence that
the speaker would act I'm conformity with
the gubernatorial suggestion.
Speaker Ward declined to say yesterday
what his reply to the governor would be,
but he will name a. committee of three
or more members of the assembly as soon
as he has consulted with his colleagues
In his letter to the speaker the governor
referred to the alleged improper occur
reDces IN the rooms adjacent to the as
sennbly on the closing night of the legis-
lature," and said:
I'm order that whatever action was
taken might be taken within the law and
torney general as to my power and au-
thority within the premises.
His conclusions agree with the view
which / have entertained. My Judgment
about the matter is that any inquiry
which Is made or any investigation I'm
dertaken must be by the house of assem-
bly, itself. While, as the attorney general
points out, the house has adjourned and
there is no authority to appoint a COM
mittee with any power to subpoena VA
neSses and the like, still the matter can
be undertaken by a voluntary committee,
which you may designate, and the whole
proceeding conducted upon your irhtia-
tive

Anent the Tariff Law.

In the making OF the tariff law,
one would naturally suppose that
those least able to bear the burden
OF taxation would not be discrim-
mated against in favor of those
best able to pay the tax involved
in any tax levy.
But what are the facts?
The man who imports 81, 900
worth OF diamonds pays a tax of
$ioo-lo per cent. If he imports
thousand shirts worth a dollar
each he would have to leave at the
custom house and tack on to his
selling prices $6oI .6o--6o. 10 per
cent
IT he decided he would bring in
$1,000 worth Of champagne, one of
the items upon which there is
tarir increase, the tax levied by
the tariff is $500. fhe brought in
$1,000 worth Of blankets he would
pay tariff Of 81 ,64542.
If he brought in $1,000 worth OF
paintings and statuary, all he
would have to pay as customs
duties would be $500, but if it
were sugar he would pay 1878. 70
on $1,000 worth.
1t he brought in $1,000 worth of
jewelry he would have to pay 5000
tariff tax, but if he brought in
$1,000 worth Of wool dress goods
he would pay $1o5a. o2 tariff.
II he imported $4,000 automo-
bile the tariff takers would relieve
ham of $225o. If it were $1,000
worth Of yarns the tariff tax would
be $4,000.
IT the importation were $4,000
worth of furs the tariff tax would
be 5000. but if it were $4,000
worth Of clothing that tax would
be $433o.
II some New York millionaire
brings 800, 900 ocean going
yacht the tariff would be $35, 900,
but il the importation were stock
ings the tariff collected would be
$S6, $50. Elk.

The Editor and the Advertiser.
Once on time knew man
Who said IL didn't pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see,
! gave him half page of space
And let him have il free.
1t almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
As l displayed him, but he felt
Its influence on his trade.
! kept II up, his business hoomed.
The customers wooped down
Upon his store until he had
The biggest rush In town.
One day l went around To call
And found him on the run,
With people waiting for their turn
When those AHEAD were done.
''Well, WE'LL" cried in great
delight
To see things boom that way,
"Don't advertising pay, old man?
What have you got To say?" :
Thought he'd like my work so
much,
And think my plan so nice,
That he'd not only praise his wares,
But pay me double price.
And did he do II? Listen, please,
| thought that I'd drop dead
When suddenly he turned on me
And vigorously said:
"Take out that advertisement,
quick;
Col dern yer pesky skin,
I'll never git a chance to rest
Ez long ez 1t stays in"
