Iudorses the Restriction.

'In order to secure non-partisanship in
the commission. 1t is proposed that not
more than q majority Of the commission
shall be chosen from one party. Such
restrictions I have been very much en-
barrassed by in some Of my appointments.
and they have made it necessary for me
to try to find out the political party of
the proposed candidate when I should
have appointed him without inquiring at
all but for the requirement.. Still, l do
not object to this restriction II ii Is
thought wise because II may give the
public more confidence in the commission.
Nor do object to the increase OF the

The tariff commission should be made
permanent in some form, so that any

sponsibility of repeating the law
In these words President Taft gave
definite Endorsement of the proposition
for permanent, non-partisan tariff COM

ton convention, at which he was the
guest Of honor, last night.
He also put his 20. k on the Long

There is no danger" declared Senator
Newlands, that Congress will delegate
its powers to a tariff commission. as the
Constitution invests Congress with this
power" An analogous precedent to the
tariff commission, he pointed out, Is the
interstate commerce commission.

E. j. Edwards Tells Of Senator Dor
sey's Confession Of the Way In
Which He Captured Indiana
for Republicans In 1880.

One of the famous political exposes
of yesterday was that in which Ste
phen w. Dorsey. United States sena'
tor from Arkansas during the recon
struction period. told how, as secre-
tary of the Republican national com
mittee in 1880. he had collected and
used 100000 in new two-dollar bills
for the purpose of influencing the
state OF Indiana to return safe ma
jority for the Republican presidential
ticket of that year. Now. for the first
time. is told in print how Senator
Dorsey came to make the confession
which created such intense excite
ment throughout the country in the
summer of 1888.
Early in Garfield's administration
the so-called Star Route frauds were
brought to light, and in connection
with them Senator Dorsey was in
dicted for conspiracy. AT the first
trial the jury failed to reach a deci-
sion, but upon a second trial. in 1888,
he was acquitted. reported this sec
ond trial for the New York Sun on
orders from Mr.. Dana direct.
II was late in the day that Sena-
tor Dorsey was acquitted. About 10
O'Clock that night there came a
knock on the door OF the hotel room

door In response, was confronted
by Senator Dorsey's negro walt Sen
atah Dorsey wants to see you-all at
once, sab" he reported. He done
sent me to tell you-all So"
Deeply wondering at the message,
] went Immediately to Senator Dor
sey. He received me cordially. and
at once began to explain why he had
summoned me.
Il have read every day your report
of my trial" he said. "All through
yours has been the only true report
Of the trial. You have told exactly
what happened. what was said and
done. You have not colored your re-
ports at the instigation of those Of
my political enemies who caused my
indictment when they should have
defended me from the charges

all this trouble was brought upon me
maliciously by my political enemies.
Here is the statement You alone OF
all the newspaper men who reported
my trial will get It. Send IL to your
paper If you like. and you can as.
sure Mr. Dana that he will have the
exclusive publication OF it. At mid
